You are So Bad

Might America secretly welcome focus on the Holocaust?

Most Americans think of the Holocaust with dread - a tragedy where millions of innocent people were ruthlessly butchered.

But focus on European genocide draws attention away from America's recent genocide - the slaughter of  innocent local populations & attempted complete destruction of native cultures. America's indigenous people, Native Americans, Amerindians, aboriginals, Hawaiians, the First Nations, have been brutally abused -- their homeland is occupied, their suffering continues.












Diverting attention avoids unpleasant confrontation and indefensible denial.
Our scheming rulers dance & leer on graves of the Redskin.

Beyond Fixing?

Some declare the American model beyond repair. The United States of America is deeply in debt. Political leaders of both major parties continuously spend / waste huge resources on overseas militarism. The majority of Americans lurch toward impoverishment, selling their final few valuables. The poor get sicker, dumber, poorer. The 1% other pay a millionaire Congress to yak at each other.

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has proposed a Progressive Budget Blueprint.

Read it. Support it.

Illegal Pre-Trial Confinement


Guantanamo Torture Camp
operated by the bloody US of A
a BushObama exploit

Illegal Pre-Trial Confinement
Uncontested by Americans
As each struggles & dies

In a land of war crimes
Community of guilt
Y no kwik Wealth 4 ME?

Poor Yankee near homeless
Smothered by comfortfoods
Surely "Better'n Gitmo"

Devil Feinstein

Right-Wing Drift vs. Despotism

The present government of the Republic of Korea is right-wing, and Proud.

Fine. South Korea's democratically-elected government missteps, however, when it bans political activities and seeks to dissolve a rival political party.

Also, South Korea still requires mandatory military service from all young men. But the system is abused (desirable appointments surreptitiously distributed unfairly) and abusive (less-advantaged young men forced into labor) as well as being sexist (in a land of legal equality, why no female service?) and possibly illegal (with no conscientious objector option, the system abrogates Korea's human rights obligations).

Korea suffers growing pains. Hopefully, the Korean people will find good solutions to their problems.

But major danger lurks, in stubborn homogeneity. Koreans are unaccustomed to diverse opinion; rather than seeking to bridge differences, diversity is smothered. Multiethnic mixed communities are rare, and too often considered dangerous.

Korea just now has many opportunities. But sustainable progress requires solving basic problems among Korea's neighbors, and offering opportunity comprehensively across the nation. Korea needs statecraft, not simplistic despotism. We pray President Park Geun-hye will search for creative solutions. Otherwise, Korea's enemies laughingly watch Korea hurry-hurry (빨리빨리) into disaster.

Spies in Your Sink

What can you do to discourage the prying spying infiltration of your family & all aspects of your life?

Squat.

We're targets. Be good.

But big intel-gathering needs money. If you dislike the system, please implement comprehensive reform, budget cuts & penalizing legislation; change can take place within five years...  Don't forget that government is only a small part of the spying. Edward Snowden has shown us a huge amount of espionage is conducted by private for-profit limited-liability corporations. There ain't oversight or accountability.

We've far too many patriots occupying overseas outposts. The Empire needs spies. But it's better to bring our forces home.

Support the EFF - Electronic Frontier Foundation (link) to impose some checks & balances on America's invasive spying.

Dirty Uncle USA

The peeping NSA has dirtied the reputation of the United States of America. We now imagine a lecherous bug-eyed Uncle Sam spying & eavesdropping.

He's corrupted our computers. He leers from every camera. His infection lingers in your mobile phone.

Disgusting.

The US President (or his shadowy minions) -- claiming Obama didn't know about the espionage, makes it all worse...

Of course partisan Republican rats will politicize the mess. But it's a class problem: neighborhood people getting shit-upon by our rulers. (Who also spy on each other).  Scummy.

UK & Sweden Shield NSA Spies

Revelations still reverberate of wholesale spying by the US National Security Agency. Documented accusations include eavesdropping on European government leaders and international organizations, as well as intrusive comprehensive spying on hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Nearly four months ago in early July 2013 (link), a meeting of national ambassadors to the European Union sought to create an EU Working Group looking into intelligence gathering. Twenty-six EU nations were in favor of joint fact-finding studies, but the UK and Sweden vetoed common efforts to determine what was going on in areas of espionage and national security.

The governments of UK PM David Cameron & Nick Clegg, and Sweden's center-right Reinfeldt / Bildt axis shielded US spying. Even as people now awaken to sharing their lives with US spies, (and recent statements by UK & Swedish politicians are less obstructionist on uncovering the truth & eliminating abuse), thanks to these four US stooges we're unlikely to learn how much damning espionage evidence was destroyed these past few months.

How can the USA reward such valuable allies?
Are they friends, kept ignorant? or actively misinformed?
Was personal blackmail or bribery involved? Surely not...
But official spying w/ corporate collusion corrupts trust.


Cameron, Clegg, Reinfeldt, Bildt
