Japan's Warning For America Authored by Michael Wilkerson via The Epoch Times, Last week, Japan saw its currency, the yen, rapidly depreciate against the U.S. dollar and other world currencies to near record low levels. This drew the attention of financial markets and other observers, and—in some quarters—led to panic.
