Internet Voting
If you live in America, in exchange for web access, your internet provider seeks to suck you dry. Net neutrality opponents such as Verizon are dangerous to our continued use of a robust internet.
Verizon weasels & Fox News are vermin -- scavengers sickly hungry for your blood. If you can, go elsewhere for service. If they can, they'll twist the news, and cutoff your access to non-corporate opinion. Don't enlist in their browbeating -- paying to become another mega-business spokesperson. Verizon is a turnoff. Fox News? Turn it off.

Opportunity Herzog
Son of Israeli General (later President) Chaim Herzog, grandson of Israel's first Chief Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, little "Buji" Herzog promises moderate new leadership in The Promised Land.
The election's now 19 days away. Can Buji displace massive "Bibi" Netanyahu as Prime Minister of Israel? Does it matter?
The world will be surely safer when Avigdor Lieberman and his ultra-right goons depart government. Along with Tzipi Livni and the Zionist Union, Herzog promises to make new friends & alliances for a struggling Israel. He'll also surely be a tough leader. One day Buji will be on the steps of Jerusalem's new Hurva Synagogue (בית הכנסת החורבה)... doing something positive.
PM Yitzhak (Isaac) "Buji" Herzog
10th Prime Minister of Israel from 2015

Choosing a Warlord: Antibiotics
Too many people must work when sick, and use assorted medicines to carry on... "Antibiotics" increase the proportion of resistant bacteria. So-called antibiotics nurture resistant & non-targeted bacterial colonies (link).
Infection can quickly kill anyone...
One treatment option uses bacteriophages, a form of bacterial parasites. Better-developed phage treatments are important.

Politicians for Hire?
To what extent are politicians willing to whore their experience & contacts in exchange for cash?
Recent "sting" efforts by UK media highlight two senior British members of Parliament: former Secretary of State for Justice / former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, MP (Labour), and Former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, KCMG, QC, MP (Conservative).
The men discussed how they could help a Chinese company based in Hong Kong as paid consultants.
Sir Malcolm was reportedly recorded stating "I am self-employed - so nobody pays me a salary. I have to earn my income." -- In fact, he's a salaried government employee: a sitting Member of Parliament who now serves as Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee. His committee oversees British intelligence services MI5 and MI6.
Neither man had yet arranged access to any privileged or secret information (link).
The Americans and other allies will surely pay attention to these reports, if only to note how cheaply and easily British politicians become more friendly. Perhaps this ain't news...

Pocket Espionage
Big companies such as Google are increasingly concerned by eroding trust.
Edward Snowden confirmed many improprieties by government & the mega-corporations (Thank You Ed!). Most recently we read of sweeping infiltration of hard drive firmware (link), spyware on USB minidrives, and British government infiltration of Dutch-French firm Gemalto to compromise SIM encryption (link). (Gemalto SIMs are used in billions of mobile phones). More crimes surely remain unknown.
Oversight by external national authorities, or others such as the EU, help keep some mega-corporations from the worst dishonesties. More oversight is necessary, and accountability.
While major corporate apps and computer programs are increasingly & carefully scrutinized, their programs often require pairing with other apps by tiny firms demanding all access. The process is not accidental. The result -- curious noses of pigs up your arse.
Backdoor weaknesses, and info gathering generally, is liable to exploitation in unforeseen ways. We've all become spying targets. This spying weakens otherwise competitive corporations and destroys trust.

Bush League
I've not met Jeb Bush. But his brother crippled the USA, tortured blindly, and rightly should be in prison for crimes against almost everyone. Their sinister father was no better. Should we give Jeb a chance?
Hell no. It would be best if we could ship the whole creepy clan to Somalia -- or anywhere that would take 'em -- along with Hilary & America's other professional politicos ...
These dancing weasels, and the rare reformer, are a distracting sideshow to the systematic rape of our nation (and the world) by profit-hungry militarists without scruple or morals.

Greek Fete
The Greek government & people have borrowed a lot, and now hope to avoid repayment. Who'll be left with the bill? Of course they hope to escape their debts without pain.

Korea's "ilbe" illusions
일베저장소 (Ilbe Jeojangso) is a strange phenomenon in South Korea. Young disaffected people are doing odd & crazy things. The "anything OK" bulletin board is typically labeled libertarian or right-wing, but ILBE is a kind of anarchy - and the ILBE tribe follows a disturbing trend that reaches to the top of Korean society.
People in Korea see flim-flam in action. They followed how the government bolstered one party and undermined its opponent in an election farce far dirtier than Watergate. Anything is OK. It's unethical and corrupt, a soulless crony capital system.
There is dynamic democracy in Korea - partly stifled by authoritarian rigidities and corrupt leadership. Populism thrives. Local people feel outmaneuvered, and hit-out at those weaker. Chauvinistic popular feeling regularly condemns non-Korean businesses: unreasonable attacks are justified by the rubric that "Koreans are emotional." Ultimately, everyone is either connected & protected, or an outsider without influence.
We're all encouraged to hurry. Why? Perhaps that's a root of 일베 ...
ILBE is best translated to English as "WTF" or "whatevah..."
Those who understand what's happening often believe it's sick, sick, sick. But so is the sham government of President Park: sick, sick, sick... Outsiders not invested in Korea see rot and corruption, and understand anarchist sentiments - where the unconnected are food for the fishes. Korea is unhealthy! So sad...

Unregistered Humans!
Japan has an estimated 10,000 unregistered citizens - people who've lived all their lives amidst society. Without family registry, they're official outsiders.
Read Japan's sordid story by Tomoko Otake here (link)
Both America & Japan have far more unregistered non-citizens -- illegal alien residents. President Obama this week was attempting to grant clemency & amnesty to many young foreigners illegally in the USA. Those plans are now waylaid by court order.
Nobody likes bureaucratic red tape. It's most horrible when entangled. But social services reasonably collect details to fuel their activities & for auditing oversight. Otherwise our taxes only disappear. We've yet to develop wholly robust systems, and poor systems discourage our investments in social services. Illegal aliens may have forced their way into our living room, and pushed aside those invited, but gate crashers haven't right to remain. If not inviting everyone, we need controls.

Honoring Others
If we each honor the ideas & opinions of others, there can be no conflict.
Some people are pushy, some are rude. Some people wish us harm, to take our property or use us maliciously.
We cannot and perhaps should not seek to ignore such people. Recognize their ignorant and threatening malevolence.
The militarists in our midst are deeply dangerous. They speak of "acceptable error" with air strikes. But killing or maiming a single innocent person is horrible and inexcusable. In harming innocent children and non-combatants, we who fund violence target ourselves.
Our militarism is out of control, and deeply dangerous.

Torture Volunteers
Unit 731 was a Japanese wartime research facility responsible for experimenting on people: prisoners-of-war and local Chinese (link). Gruesome experiments on living humans and large scale germ-warfare trials were carried-out by medical personnel under control of the Japanese occupying military authority.
We don't know as much as we should about the horrors of Unit 731, Surgeon General Shirō Ishii, and superiors in Tokyo (731部隊と石井四郎) because of huge postwar cover-up when the blood-soaked data was bartered to the American military. (Some background here - link)
Now Japan would have us believe Unit 731 victims "volunteered" for sacrifice - without anesthesia or ceremony. Sure...

Scandal Nuts
Cho Hyun-A (조현아, Heather Cho) has been heavily denounced and condemned for nutty behavior at Korean Air (땅콩 회항 or "nut rage"). The heiress has now apologized, but only after triggering great outrage over abusive behavior among Korea's wealthy families. Today she was sentenced to a year's detention with no parole... with the judge stating "human dignity was trampled upon"... Was the tantrum truly as described? Did Cho's family & colleagues suffer such antics for 40+ years? Or is Mrs. Cho a vendetta victim from the ruling class?
"Parking Argument"
After the murder of three students in North Carolina (a young couple & teenage female relative) we're pointedly told it's not a hate crime. Who put this show together? All quite reasonable?
The accused murderer's wife does not claim his innocence; yet the brutal execution-style murder was ...? The accused's lawyer suggests almost a misdemeanor debate over parking. But someone shot three unarmed young people in the head, killing them in cold blood in their home for no good reason!
See complete video within this page:
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/thousands-gather-vigil-three-slain-chapel-hill-n304811
Reasonable people would not expend energy & effort denying hate crime without expressing remorse or shame. Without first declaring great sorrow for the tragedy, these people are disgusting. It's as if a skunk were killed. Three promising young people were butchered!
Perhaps "Parking Argument" needs to be added to the list of scandalous euphemisms (link), such as "Didn't Inhale" and "Wide Stance" and "Hiking the Appalachian Trail"...
I'm sorry for the senseless dead and their family & friends.
I'm sorry also for deceived & terrorized America.

The Spin is In:
We're told the murder of three Islamic youths in Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA was not hate crime, but a parking argument.
Sure!
Government & media also share responsibility for terrorizing the American Islamic community. Surely terrible! Many innocent people continue to die in this 5000-year "parking argument"...

Dangerous Korea
The former Director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service, Won Sei-hoon (원세훈) has been sent to prison for three years for attempting to influence and intervene in the 2012 Korean Presidential election (link). Won & colleagues generated a massive disinformation campaign against the Presidential opposition candidate, while supporting the candidacy of now-President Park Geun-hye. The scandal greatly damaged Korea's democratic image, as well as fundamentally undermining the status and standing of President Park.
Mr. Won was escorted to the Seoul High Court by right-wing paramilitary supporters in a futile and foolish-looking show of force & bravado.

Patriotic Delusion
Patriotism can be dangerous - as delusion distorts safety & reason.
American exceptionalism is one such case, but other peoples suffer similar befuddlement. South Korea is gradually reevaluating hubris. This week's trigger is Incheon Airport (ICO), Seoul's major gateway, too often uncritically celebrated as "The World's Best Airport" ...

I've used Incheon International Airport 50 times & feel no love - services are often closed; prices are high; the exterior is good-looking, but inside design is ugly and at best unremarkable.
Incheon is located an hour outside Seoul (some 40 miles? distance somewhat fudged), and access is typically by highway bus or taxi operating at high-speed (when possible) along a very scenic mostly waterside route. It's dangerous.
Yesterday at least two people died and dozens were injured in a huge traffic pileup on foggy Yeongjong Bridge (인천 영종대교; "the world's first 3-dimensional self-anchored suspension bridge" - which cost US$1.4 billion). In hindsight, surely traffic control signage was poor, and driving pace typically furious ... 빨리빨리 ! Victims: Rest in Peace...

Remember Our Dictators?
A long list of scum have sold-out their people for Yankee military dollars. They purchase weapons systems and unnecessary military supplies, leaving their national economies indebted for generations. The worst dictators take a key cut of businesses and loot the national treasury; they torture and execute anyone resisting their regime.
The Philippines, beloved by America under Ferdinand Marcos and martial law, after 30+ years has yet to recover. The summary execution of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. in 1983 (within seconds of return to Manila while under Philippine military official escort) remains a brutal reminder of power politics. Hundreds of millions of dollars have now been recovered. Among our dictator friends, even when horrible mutilations & murders are well-documented, perpetrators are granted noble retirement in exile, ignored by US corporate media.

Shut Down Militarism!
Too many misadventures. Too much reciprocal suffering. It's overdue we pull back military & weaponry to our own borders.Send abroad teachers, engineers, doctors & nurses -- not militant combatants.
Our leaders should no longer engage in 5000-year war. Pull back, stay at home, build better lives for our own people. Doing otherwise is expensive, wasteful, doomed to fail, and cruel.
Anti-militarist peoples of the world, Unite !

Goto Desert Death
Journalist Kenjo Goto was murdered last week in the Syrian desert by militant captors. Goto was a Japanese freelance video journalist with some twenty years of experience around the world's conflict areas. Remembered in many ways, he had strong concern for others and an active sense of tolerance:
目を閉じて、じっと我慢。怒ったら、怒鳴ったら、終わり。それは祈りに近い。憎むは人の業にあらず、裁きは神の領域。－そう教えてくれたのはアラブの兄弟たちだった。
"Closing my eyes and holding still. Anger & yelling halt everything. It's close to a prayer. Hate is not for humans; leave judgment & justice to God. That's what I learned from my Arab brothers & sisters."
For the past 70 postwar years, Japan has allied strongly with the USA, while being largely pacifist in its global profile. But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe lusts after change, backed by an extremist right-wing and encouraged by Uncle Yankee (U.S. bases still occupy key areas of Japan, with parallel manipulations in Korea). They've embarked toward a new era of military recklessness, polluting Japan's global goodwill, and destroying the immunity often enjoyed by Japanese citizen-pacifists worldwide.
Mr. Goto graduated from Hosei University (法政大学社会学部 卒業生), which stands strongly for "Freedom & Progress" 「自由と進歩」 (link) built firmly upon Japan's renunciation of war (戦争を放棄した日本国). Pacifism is not passive acceptance of the radical right & the never-ending threats of chauvinistic nationalism & "top secret" government. Japanese people can still maneuver to escape militarism. Prime Minister Abe, now spattered with his countrymen's blood, can still avoid following his Yasukuni-enshrined predecessors to ignoble infamy and militarist waste.
Rest In Peace, Kenji Goto

War Crimes 'R Us
In the USA last week, 79-year old US Senator John McCain lashed out when Code Pink activists criticized Henry Kissinger. McCain called the non-violent protestors "Low Life Scum!"
But for their atrocities in Vietnam, both Kissinger & McCain are yet-to-be indicted war criminals: actual murderers. Their politics have proved deadly, extreme & expensive.

Not MISD
Our societies suffer when controlled by:
Militarists
Industrialists
Social Darwinists
These riffraff claim to work for the common good. But their militarism gambles with our lives. They spend our public funds and resources for their pet projects. They've captured our governments, creating demand for their own products. They use our own money to corrupt & subvert. They destabilize nations, sell guns & weapon systems around unbalanced regions, and take home fat profits. They've contempt & hatred for almost everyone. They threaten our humble homes, while they themselves live in palaces.
Their systems are not business exchange - instead it's mugging or extortion. We're forced to pay them, for little positive in return. Their servants, not properly paid, turn on master, spilling official secrets; so their 'dog-eat-dog world' is unsustainable.
The hell they forced on us will not be missed.

Heroism: Love & Loss
I post this for family. Others will be disturbed. Beware!
Here's my Dad, checking-in to die (27 Dec).
He's wholly lucid, mentally sharp.
Remaining life, just 69 hours.
Basically, losing a kidney to cancer (in June 2014) left my Dad's 81-year old system unable to properly circulate & process as necessary. The day prior to checking-in etc., he'd commented sardonically "They call these our 'Golden Years'..." He'd been severely swollen & in pain for many months, and prepared for proper exit. Glad to be there...
A painful post... (even with the healing energy of juniper berries).
More to come...
