Broken Rules

England is drooping. India defeated the English women's cricket team for a third-straight one-day international whitewash, and the English whinged at the final play, a mankad dismissal or non-bowler run-out (essentially a baseball pick-off, where the runner is caught leading by too much). Legitimate & within the rules, why is it controversial? The BBC quotes "I can't tell you what ill feeling this is going to create" - discounting centuries of pro-colonial propaganda, racism & discord.

Visiting Hawai'i? Hawaiian PUNCH

Hawaiians today will not grovel to threats of biblical damnation, and all condemn deceitful leadership in Yankee's toxic military. Life is Tough; colonial parasites beware! 

Local needs ignored. Parasites from elsewhere been getting fat on kanaka...

Let's serve each incoming visitor with the same care we gave Capt. Cook

Pissin' in the Wind

Since the military poisoned Hawai'i's water (Red Hill), more people notice basic disrespect. Many remember the US Army soldier trespassing on Kilauea's rim who slipped over the edge (Wed May 1st 2019 about 18:30). After a costly rescue, his name remains unknown... Why no ACCOUNTABILITY? Was he showing-off to his GI buddies by urinating over the edge?  🚽🚫


Sweden's Liberals Become Dangerous

Sweden's former PM Stefan Löfven & former Liberal Party party leader Bengt Westerberg claim the ultra-right Sweden Democrats are a danger to democracy: "SD plans for restrictions on the freedom of public service media, depicting journalists as enemies of society, demands for party-political branding of journalists, reduction in press support, reduced support for student unions, calls to cut billions from the budget for public culture, removal of all books in foreign languages ​​from libraries, prohibition of pride flags in public, discrimination against non-Swedish citizens, and questioning of diversity in multiple ways." (DN Debatt 4 Sept; translation by The Local) 

"Begränsningar i public services rörelsefrihet, utpekande av journalister som samhällets fiender, krav på partipolitisk stämpling av journalister, neddragning av presstödet, minskat stöd till studieförbunden, nedskärningar med miljardbelopp i de offentliga kulturbudgeterna, borttagande av alla böcker på främmande språk från biblioteken, förbud mot prideflaggor i offentlig regi, diskriminering av icke svenska medborgare, ifrågasättande av mångfalden i olika avseenden." 

I guess ultra-right volk without swastika tattoos are maybe most dangerous.

Because the ultra-right is teaming with the Liberal Party, former leader Bengt Westerberg now refuses to vote Liberal.

Will Bunch - "After the Ivory Tower Falls"

Student loan forgiveness is a hot topic this month, and many right-wing Americans are now preaching about irresponsibility, facing consequences, and a supposed crippling cost to partially bailing-out student loans.

But this expenditure is one of many policy choices that might bust America. Corporate giveaways, militarism, and taxing the wealthy are others.

"After the Ivory Tower Falls" by Will Bunch is timely & terrific. It's hugely important each American looks inward to their own anger, fears, and hopes of college. We've been indoctrinated. We all -- university grads, deplorables, and those in-between -- dance as if to a military marching tune. Still reading ...

Are Blonde Ukrainian Children Misled?

Britain's BBC reports:  History is rewritten for children in occupied Ukraine

One response:  

For centuries, Anglo-American Aryan hypocrites whitewashed & sculpted history. In truth, Jesus was a dark Jew; Columbus & Capt. Cook forcibly brutalized complex societies (claims of "new land discovery" seek to whitewash theft & genocide). Rewritten history & imperialism entangle us all.

Pity to Forget

Soon most Americans won't care much about people of the Ukraine, as with now discounted US conflicts involving Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama, Vietnam, Kosovo, etc. Simply, we're seduced to finance foreign intervention (again) until militarists get havoc funds, then media stories & sympathies disappear. Every day meanwhile, miserable fellow Americans are ignored.

Rigidities Control Japan

Rigidities Control Japan

Married couples must use a single surname. To disadvantage gay couples is legal. Anti-foreigner discrimination is OK. Relations with nearby Asian nations are poor.  It's Sad!

Full-Time Poverty, USA

Americans struggle to survive with full-time jobs, costly corruption, and savage stress. Peaceful reform is needed quickly -- Biden's Democrats failed to help.  

God Have Mercy!

Starbucks is a big success because great full-time workers stay poor.

Hawaiian Breakfast? Depleted Uranium

The US military's Joint Munitions Command ducks their responsibilities for environmental misconduct in Hawai'i. The Army's Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA) is now site of a "very significant" fire involving depleted uranium (DU) & munitions waste --🔥☢️ Hawai'i is abused by US military bombs & shelling. DU dust particles scattered in & around the lava get washed together & pool in the damp hollows where scrub grows (pollens pool together in a similar process). The plants suck-up water and heavy metals, concentrating the poisons (natural phytoremediation). Burning the scrub is terribly toxic. Pōhakuloa's off-limits ICM (Improved Conventional Munitions) impact area is thus a highly-poisonous danger zone. The military surely is aware that one day, remaining bushes & scrub in DU-polluted areas will be tested & found to contain high levels of deadly pollutants. This is why military public affairs deliberately misleads by labeling this dangerous major fire "Leilani" instead of the "Army" or PTA or Pōhakuloa or RIMPAC fire.

Get in Line !

These days the rich are simply those with homes, without fear of eviction. The mega-rich stay out of sight, and are protected by the politicians.

Our bosses claim to want good communities, but manage only to enrich themselves.  Got complaints?  Get in line.

Suckered Again & Again

Would President Joe Biden lie to us? Will nations fall like dominoes? How can America afford giving many tens of billions $$$ to foreign politicians? - most Americans aren't rich. We've been suckered before (our oligarchs suffer no consequences)

Women's Bodies, Women's Rights = FIGHT

Danger grows for all Americans, but poor women suffer most. It's amazing those against planned parenthood often condemn sex education.

Blindly following America is Dangerous!

 Seek a path to Peace.

The USA is unstable.

On Jan 6, 2021, the US Capitol was attacked by thousands of rioters coaxed by lame-duck Pres. Donald J. Trump & associates, forcing Congress to emergency evacuation. The US Vice-President slipped away under threat as the Capitol building was occupied, security bypassed, and offices ransacked. America remains dangerously divided, threatened by instability & future political violence.

 

Americans ignore fundamental problems at home.

Sure, Vladimir Putin, former KGB, is bad & evil, but America is busted.

 

America's worst threats are violent Americans.

There's no global justice if we can't  

Fix America First.
