SEVEN military golf courses scar Hawai'i's Oahu. The worst, at Mōkapu,
is built on thousands of Hawaiian graves. Ghastly & insulting! These
occupation forces dishonor the USA.

Make America Healthy Again
Too many Americans are in ill health; too many more can't afford getting sick or injured.
Making America Great Again is a grand dream.
Healthy America is essential. And it's Good Business.
Make America Healthy Again ! MAHA

Hawaiian Decolonization
American barons managing extractive industries spend heavily to justify their "rights" to natural resources, often located on lands stolen from native peoples. Seeking to infiltrate and stifle native rights efforts, their huge wealth buys the services of so-called "free-enterprise" institutes, mercenary commentators, and for-hire puppets. I believe Keli'i Akina in Hawai'i is one such toady. The Native Hawaiian community has rights to stolen land -- these are not entitlements granted by aggressive American government. Treaties and international law are being violated. Carpetbagger Americans (especially military) must stop plundering our inherited assets.
America's rich people carefully protect their own inheritance, but collude to dispossess indigenous people of inherited lands. Failing to consult with indigenous communities on development projects is aggressive colonialism and endangers the natural environment.
What can be done?
Evaluate opposition (Recognize that earth-moving equipment, unscrupulous speculators, the US prison system, for example, are not gentle)
Organize support (Decolonization struggles unite indigenous peoples; our peaceful quest for justice & local community survival can mobilize & unite worldwide support systems)
Fight cheerfully (After great individual effort, invader's boot still crushing your throat? Find strength in our bountiful environment & continue peaceful engagement -- Always remember we natives are forces of nature)

The Mooch?
Behold the new White House Communications Director & Senior Advisor to the President of the United States, Anthony Scaramucci a.k.a. The Mooch. Our bosses brought quality entertainment and brassy vanity to the White House podium.
"Scaramucci is a used car salesman trying to sell us all a Ferrari with no VIN [Vehicle Identification Number] and a weird stain in the trunk."
-- Common Dreams

America's Owners: Selecting a Leader
A small set of people control America. They're mostly Republicans, but their defining characteristic is great wealth. Their predominant ideology is protecting their own wealth & power.
These people live wholly different lives from worker people.
Their challenge is to keep the rabble away from their wealth.
They've successfully found & developed a ruling bourgeoisie of minor capitalists and people such as US House Speaker Congressman Paul Ryan, along with other up-and-coming Republicans and hired thugs.
But how to create a leader palatable to America's hungry dumfux masses?
They chose foolishness.
Look carefully at the last two Republican rulers: George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump.
Each is often pictured as a buffoon.
But we are the fools ... Under the manipulative greed of America's owners, we are literally fighting for our lives. American criminality runs deep, with many aggressive continuing wars & overseas occupation serving our rulers (not needy foreign masses, and certainly not our soldiers). Don't wait till the shower-room doors close upon you, your family and friends -- you're not scheduled to return from their delousing process.
Firmly & peacefully resist their lies. NOW

Won More Weasel
Bold brash Korea has struggled with many dirty elements, some described here before (link).
Won Sei-hoon 원세훈 headed South Korea's feared National Intelligence Agency. Convicted of undermining Korea's 2012 Presidential election (where Park Geun-hye attained power), his crimes & punishment have slithered half-hidden through Korea's justice system -- probably in part because he helped the candidate who subsequently became President.
New evidence (link) includes an audio tape purportedly of National Intelligence Agency boss Won instructing his subordinates to wage "psychological warfare on the public"...
Now Won, Park and her cronies are disgraced, and some justice is promised. But in fact, surely Won was doing dirty work for other more powerful people ("helping" far beyond mere politicians, and possibly beyond the borders of the ROK). His stories are valuable, but seem likely to remain hidden.

Implosion
Soap opera star Donald J Trump has begun whinging petulantly & attacking those he's cast in supporting roles.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is the latest victim of our prima donna's wrath. AG Sessions now must step carefully to avoid the fate of his völkisch predecessor Ernst Röhm.
US National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster reportedly seeks more caution with Russia (link), but our volatile Führer Trump claims better foresight & supreme abilities.
How long can the Republican establishment continue kissing Trump rump? This bloated "Republican" bully is increasingly costly & dangerous to the world.

Trump® Sells-Out America
"Made in America Week" began Monday -- the same day 15,000 more foreigners grabbed American jobs under the H-2B temporary guest worker program thanks to Pres. Trump. Their cheaper labor undercuts the wages for US domestic workers, and raises the H-2B foreign workforce to 81,000 total fresh visas for 2017.
This is not at all to say H-2B workers are bad people. They love their families, they work hard, and they serve the employer well - as do scabs who break workers unions.
The President, Ivanka, and the Trump® organization continue to buy cheap and sell high... maybe it's The American Way.... But they counsel BUY AMERICAN when they don't...
Where I come from, we sniff out & avoid a lyin' sack of shit.

Swamp Baron
US President Donald J Trump has given-up America.
"Drain the Swamp" he pledged (link)...
Trump words = Bullshit.
Trump promises are swamp farts.
SWAMP critters control our world... more than ever.

Save American Brains
The Battle for Net Neutrality is severe. Most of the USA is already a captive audience sewn-up by cable / communications companies charging monopoly prices. Much of America, regrettably, is already a dumbed-down market of deeply frustrated sheeple.
But until now, public access to internet was open.
Imagine if web surfing were only possible with Verizon's permission, or through AOL's homepage, Comcast's interface, or within Yahoo. Manipulative & Terrible!
Don't allow corporate power to control access: to charge extra for those sites they do not recommend. Dear slaves: your masters plan to disallow access to content which doesn't pay them.
Americans are already lame from decades of poor leadership and substandard general education.
Save Net Neutrality!

Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
The draft Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has been agreed at the United Nations, and 122 nations voted positively in support (more detail here). The Treaty will open for signatures 20 Sept 2017 and will enter into force 90 days after the fiftieth nation deposits ratification or acceptance - so possibly operational by end 2017.
What's promised?
The Treaty prohibits nations to "Develop, test, produce, manufacture, otherwise acquire, possess or stockpile nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices."
Nations must "declare whether there are any nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices in its territory or in any place under its jurisdiction or control that are owned, possessed or controlled by another State."
The nuclear weapons states have criticized the Treaty, joined by satellite governments (such as Japan) that tacitly allow nuclear weapons of military allies to be based on their territory.
Remember that Nuclear Non-Proliferation has been based on a fundamental agreement -- that the nuclear states would cut-down and eventually eliminate their nuclear arsenals. In exchange, other states agreed not to seek nuclear weaponry. But little has been done to cut nuclear stockpiles. Nuclear-armed states have refused to disarm. Perhaps the new treaty will help draw attention to nuclear bullying and make our world safer.
