Remote Murders

Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi (Awlaki, or Al-Awlaki) was a 16-year-old American kid assassinated by drone missile on 14 Oct. 2011, just 15 days after his 40-yr-old American father Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki was similarly eradicated.

No court oversaw the orders for their termination, and no U.S. judicial review has either justified or condemned the extrajudicial killings.

Supposedly, US President Barack Obama was in ultimate control over these executions.

Was this extreme violence, and especially the killing of a young American boy, truly necessary?  The boy's family & the American Civil Liberties Union say NO  (see video)

America has gone to the ends of the earth to interfere with dangerous people; our military occupies their faraway lands. These forces should come home - as promised by Trump.

In this case, the father was sheltering with his extended family in the Awalik / Awalek tribal region of Yemen. How might the tribe retaliate? The tribal anthem was quoted by The Wall Street Journal as: "We are the sparks of Hell; whomever interferes with us will be burned."

PS - It's been reported on 29 January 2017 that the first US combat death of the Trump administration came in an action against members of this Al-Awlaki family; 30+ others died in the battle, including 8-year old Nora, daughter of the late American Anwar al-Awlaki (the below dead boy Abdulrahman's younger sister).

Nora, age 8. Shot in the neck by Seal Team 6, she bled-out after 2 hours.

Shitty Stockholm

Stockholm's a beautiful city until you need to find a toilet.

Then emerges the dark, cold cruelty of Nordic noir ... Sweden's capital has far too few public toilet facilities, and even if found -- it often costs money to use them.

Surely a few parking spaces could cheaply be converted with port-a-potties.















Use of toilets is a human right.

Stockholm's urban infrastructure is substandard & inhumane.
Young, old, you or me - it's dirty to use city bushes as toilets...
Wake Up and provide for people!

Does Israel Support Hawaiian Colonization?

Did President Obama finally stand up to Netanyahu and defy the Israeli right-wing?

The Obama administration abstained from (voting for or against) United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334(2016) reaffirming Israeli settlements have no legal validity in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, and that Israel as occupying Power is obliged to abide by the Geneva Convention. The resolution passed 14-0-1.

Netanyahu supposedly is livid at Obama. More likely this is all a setup so Obama can soon be appointed an official "Envoy to the Middle East" under the veneer he'll resist Israeli bullying. Obama's Administration at its toughest has been a slightly disobedient lapdog while a key funder & servile friend of Israel. For nearly eight years, regardless of commitments, the two-state solution has made no progress. Occupied territories in the Middle East are politically unstable; civilian populations are suffering. It has seemed among the big powers, the quest for sustainable peace has been abandoned. Obama is accused (link) throughout his administration of turning his back on the large non-Jewish civilian population forced to live under Israeli occupation.

If Netanyahu is truly displeased with the USA, he can easily draw global attention to the American occupation of Hawai'i.

Otherwise, this is all a deceptive show.

Enjoy a Progressive Crèche

Have you looked at a crèche this year, or perhaps set-up a Nativity scene at home?

My home's next to the huge Gustav Vasa Church in central Stockholm (Sweden). This year the crèche attracted my attention because the church is closed for renovation. Behind a construction fence and among the rubble of reconstruction, we can see a huge star of lights and the crèche. It's a progressive crèche.

Somewhat similar to the Advent candles, where one more is lit each week, this crèche changes over the holiday season to follow the Nativity story.

Now it's 23rd December, and only animals are in the manger.

Sometime tomorrow, Joseph & Mary will arrive. And in the wee hours of the next morning, we can expect the Christ child. They'll be joined by the Magi, three wise men.

The progression is of course important. We should remember the birth was in a primitive manger, and not at better facilities nearby. There was no room at the inn for a heavily pregnant woman exhausted from long travels...

Please draw your own lessons. Merry Christmas!

Desecrating Graves Insults Hawaiians

US President Obama has family graves in Kenya maintained by Siaya County.  Obama's grandfather & father are buried in a respectful place in Kogelo village. The President's father died in 1982, during his son's senior year at Columbia College, New York City.


People around the world respect the dead. It's truly sad when the sacred is dirtied, deliberately or otherwise. Yet this week Obama played golf on Heleloa Hawaiian Cemetery -- (seized by U.S. Marines, bulldozed & dubbed Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course). Thousands of Hawaiians were honorably buried in this sacred place.

American film star Jennifer Lawrence was recently interviewed (link) laughing about scratching her rump on Hawaiian sacred stones. She then joked of destroying a site she'd been told was culturally sacred. These are atrocities -- NOT FUNNY.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVSEPx1JGVs

Now I'm looking at Jennifer's grandmama's gravestone photo in Sulphur Cemetery, Henry County, Kentucky, May She Rest in Peace. Fortunately my butt don't itch. Granny probably knew Jen's an ass. I expected better from President Obama, but surely it would not be proper to use his father's grave as a place for sports?  ... or a place to cut & paint my toenails? NO.

Yankee's desecration of Hawai'i, Mokapu & elsewhere, invites spiritual retaliation. Continuing dishonor by U.S. soldiers, visitors & officials is misguided, unsustainable & clearly wrong.

Reach into My Grave !
Mokapu putt, squatter shame
Shaka President ?

Absentee Capitalist Crimes

Did 63 million Americans truly vote for Donald Trump? If so, more than 60 million will soon feel betrayed.

President Trump now promises to assist big business. He's likely to help Russia & Israel before he helps us.

Some counsel "wait & see" ... but Trump's long record as a deceptive sack of shit is sure to extend. He's chosen to surround himself with sleazy people. His idea of patriotism is to repatriate wealth to Trump® & his buddies.

He seemed successful reaching out to Joe & Ruby-Sue Dumfux. In the few weeks since Election Day, these people are already left behind, holding promises. We'll all pay for their gullibility.

Joe & Ruby-Sue probably missed today's memo from Japan, which displays the modus operandi of crony capitalism. "Government to help fund Fukushima decontamination, easing Tepco’s burden" explains that the nuclear power operator TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company, a private firm), will not pay the costs for their disastrous Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns

In essence, crony capitalism fails -- and the public pays for cleanup.

US Democracy Dead

Close Presidential election results in the states of Michigan and Pennsylvania have been declared beyond review: recount procedures have been halted by partisan officials.

Although election laws provide scope for recount, America's major political parties, Republican & Democrat, have joined forces in denying the people a better understanding of results.

Welcome to Corruption, USA


Brittle PM Theresa May

Make way for a snooty wet rag!

Prime Minister Theresa May seeks to channel the poise & dignity of Her Majesty the Queen, or Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Parker-Bowles). But dismally poor efforts result in may hem.

The wench is bad news.

Monsanto Sucks


The Feds sided with scumball Monsanto: Local people have no control over potential poisoning of their land, air, water and ocean with pesticides, industrial chemicals or GMO (genetically modified organisms). 

Democracy in Action? 
Rich Man Government clearly says FUCK YOU.

Success at the polls in November 2014 for a GMO moratorium meant little. Agribusiness forces regrouped and challenged the limits in the courts.

Democracy is used as a tool of control, and ignored when inconveniencing the powerful.

Of course, toxic Bayer / Monsanto chemicals run off the land into the ocean. They float on the water and react to strong sunshine.  Enjoy swimming in a chemical soup? Hawaiian efforts to protect nature were crushed by overseas profiteers. Welcome to Maui stupid tourist.

Polluted President Park














We almost want to feel sorry for her. Single woman, led astray. Now seemingly apologetic and willing to compromise...

But President Park was an iron despot elected by using the intelligence services to seed social media with slurs and lies about her opponents (link a, link b). She crushed the teacher's union (link c), and vindictively destroyed the careers of those who criticized her, including many small-scale artists (link d, link e). She forced most of the media into fear. She repeatedly promised benefits to families, the poor & elderly that ultimately were Lies.

She did not work alone.

President Park does not deserve pity.
Park & colleagues deserve prison.

I recommend Seodaemun Prison (서대문형무소), where criminals are on display.

Sad Korea

The people of South Korea have allowed their leadership and the US occupying military to use North Korea as a political football. Healing the North-South division of Korea requires great statesmanship and continuous effort.

The goal of Korea's unification is hugely important -- and should never be a trading card gambled among partisan politicians.





Foolish Korea

I've great respect for Korea.

South Korea is in turmoil due to corruption within the offices of President Geun-hye Park. Visitors and non-Koreans are troubled by ongoing public demonstrations throughout central Seoul (and in other cities). The energies of the crowds and police are unsettling, with major potential for escalating violence.

This post focuses on a harmful dimension overlooked by Koreans: there's commonly huge variation in estimating Korean crowd size. Today's BBC report is typical:

"Huge rallies have been held across South Korea for what are thought to be the largest protests so far demanding President Park Geun-hye steps down. ... Organisers said 1.5 million were in Seoul ... Police put the turnout in the capital at 270,000."

Hankyoreh reports: "For Nov. 26, the organizers estimated 1.5 million people had gone to Gwanghwmun Square in central Seoul by 9:40 pm, with another 100,000 taking to streets in Busan, 70,000 in Gwangju, and 40,000 in Daegu, for a total of 400,000 more. (Police estimated 270,000 for Seoul and 50,000 for the rest of the country.) It was the biggest demonstration in history."

Can we trust official figures? 
Or is this deliberate misstatement? Support for President Park is reported elsewhere to be in single digits (recent reports say 4%): do numbers have basis in fact?

Koreans look stupid & unreliable when continuously tolerating gross misinformation.

TPP Sucked

Assorted stories tell of how the TPP, Trans Pacific Partnership, "took more than a decade of tough negotiation."

But it was Big Business negotiating, using lobbyists and crooked politicians - the text was kept secret and great efforts kept the public in the dark.

Drafting TPP had no checks & balances except a cabal of thieves slicing up the world. TPP should be used as toilet paper & flushed away into history.

TPP was a dirty trick. Sayonara TPP.

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"

The new regime will soon take control of America.
Scare stories & distortions will face reality.
We'll see the true measure of our new President Trump.
(Of course, when anything collapses, he'll blame his orcs)

Good Luck America.


Arrogance Sunk Democrats

Too early to say how the Trump presidency might progress, but it was a close race the Democrats handled badly.

Clinton's Vice President choice of Tim Kaine was arrogant. Nice lawyer bloke, but not a choice to invigorate the young, anti-establishment, or poor. Hillary's camp decided they needn't offer much to progressives, offering only vague promises to the many people who'd come out for Bernie Sanders. Major Error.

In hindsight, Clinton should have selected Michael Moore as her running mate. He'd have delivered Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and added substantially to Democrat totals elsewhere. We could be watching Moore struggle with his grooming & weight, instead of experiencing Trump flim-flam & America's liquidation.

Naomi Klein, typically a great analyst, says "the force most responsible for creating the nightmare in which we now find ourselves wide awake (is) neoliberalism." She goes on to criticize "the rise of the Davos class" ...

What's kinda funny is that many Trump voters (probably most of them) have no idea of what Davos signifies. They instinctively know "something stinks!" Nor was this election failure solely the fault of the Clintons either. Obama's eight years should have been sufficient for delivering a more unified nation, but he chose too much "same-old, same-old"... Obama's first announced appointment in 2008 was a big disappointment: Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff. Political insiders riddle both major parties, and extremists populate the security agencies, like vermin in the corn meal. It's not a question of race or religion, but rather the need to propound a unifying vision where people feel they are participating. Perhaps the new administration can clean house ... but probably not.

Mon sta

You've seen it in the movies so many times: the Creature, hungry for blood & human meat. The lady runs, but trips... then clumsily clenches her shoe to recover dropped cosmetics while the misshapen fiend grows terribly near.

Billionaire Boy Trump is more dangerous than Ms.Hillary. He is ruthless. He hungers for pussy, and he wants more wealth & power.

The rich woman is no saint - she's an eager tool of big banking & finance, and a savvy manipulator. She'll work harder for Israel than for small-town America. She'll struggle to hold together our expensive overseas empire & "security state" homeland... She probably cannot reverse US federal disintegration.

Each tells lies... dark & dirty.

But the monster & mob of demonic republicans are far worse.
Don't imagine a small head start is enough. Break his legs, cut off his feet. Vote him dead. Reconfirm the monster is finished. His contempt for humans is legendary. His contribution crummy, tiny, unmeasurable. Don't allow him to rise again.

Bernie's Argument Copied by Trump

Trump can pay for top speechwriters.
"Tell people what they want to hear."

But we know TRUMP's® a dude who ONLY helps himself.
Trump ain't gonna "start helping You & your family"
He's a fat rich weasel who cares nothing for anyone.

Desperation reveals a flash of honesty, BUT
Republican fat cats will never deliver community-focused progress.
They are the rich political establishment.
They are the bosses.
Republicans profit by grinding your family as fertilizer.
Market forces operate on your labor.
Rich Republicans skim-off the Good Life.
...Their system leaves you shit and pain.
Your servitude makes their livelihood.
Billionaire boy does NOT feel your pain.

After subtracting false promises,
and in "an approved message"  (link)
which (sad & tragic) always will be true,
this rhetoric reflects America's needs:

Empty Park in Korea

The election of Park Geun-Hye (박근혜) as President of Korea was anti-democratic, manipulated by the National Intelligence Service (links here & here)

Korea's President is now accused of recklessly sharing highly sensitive information with a buddy outside the government. Media has gone further (link) quoting insiders by name who claim Choi Sun-sil (최순실, sometimes rendered "Choi Soon-sil") was allowed to interject herself into Cabinet appointment decisionmaking, and "there aren't any issues where the President can decide on her own. It’s basically only possible once Choi has been asked about and approves everything." Of course, this lax system has horrible implications for state security, and warns against allied nation information sharing with South Korea's government.

Choi's family is now virtually accused of witchcraft. A confidential cable to the US National Security Council from Deputy Chief of Mission Stanton in Seoul (via Manning & Wikileaks, link) labeled father Choi Tae-min a "Korean Rasputin" and "Rumors are rife that the late pastor had complete control over Park's body and soul during her formative years and that his children accumulated enormous wealth as a result." The elder sister Choi Soon-deuk and her daughter Chang Si-ho (alternately Jang Si-ho, Choi Sun-sil's niece) are implicated, as are other family members, who reportedly bankrolled Park Geun-hye's political launch. Sinister innuendo at highest level government!

The wealthy Choi daughter, now 60, was tracked to Germany, where she gave an exclusive interview to Segye Ilbo (세계일보) a Unification Church newspaper. (Other media claim this interview "suggests fresh layers of entanglement" -- as the Unification Church or 'Moonies' are powerful & exceptionally controversial). Nothing's really new in this scandal however - the seeds have been germinating for decades.

Now the Park administration is collapsing. Too much was built on corruption. Most importantly, Park's management style is similar to the dictatorial pattern of her father. The Park administration's authoritarian & vindictive policies would not allow the great genius and industry of Korea to properly blossom -- instead, Korea's future is burdened by Hell Joseon.

This recent Choi Sun-sil scandal should surprise nobody. Korea has allowed its top ranks to be stuffed with yes-men, who in turn have corrupted business, the universities, and government. Choi is now hiding overseas, leaving behind a damaged nation with an empty central park.

Choi Sun-sil reportedly controls President Park Geun-hye

Republicans Abandon Ship

Is House Speaker Paul Ryan a Republican Party Traitor ?

He's collaborated with TRUMP® & laughed at The Donald's jokes.

Ryan has ridden the fence over Trump being a sexual predator and chauvinist pig. Ryan's Republican Party, and Rep. Paul Ryan himself in Wisconsin, deserve a crushing defeat.

Republican Banter is now intolerable.


Stain on Spain

The UK has snubbed Spain for centuries, and continues.

Taking advantage of internal succession conflicts in 1704 after the death of Spanish King Charles II, the British and allies took over Gibraltar.

The Brits have never relaxed their grip on The Rock. Spain contests Gibraltar's sovereignty.

Still the cheeky Brits lecture the Spanish, though British power is considerably diminished.

Most recently, the Russians were due to call at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in north Africa for naval refueling, a procedure recently often repeated.

But the Brits didn't like it -- according to the BBC:
"The UK would be "extremely concerned" if refuelling went ahead."

"British Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, said: "We'd be extremely concerned that any NATO member should consider assisting a Russian carrier group that might end up bombing Syrian civilians.""

The Telegraph (British newspaper) reported:
"Former British Defence Minister Sir Gerald Howarth said it would be "wholly inappropriate" for a NATO member to refuel the Russian vessels"

"Lord West, a former head of the Royal Navy, explained "There are sanctions against Russia and it's an extraordinary thing for a NATO ally to do""

Expect Spain to back down -- allowing the UK to dictate Spanish policy.

Trump Bumbo ?

Mr. Donald Trump, Republican Party nominee for President of the United States, basks in media attention with outrageous comments. Another zinger every few days captures the front page. He will not stop.

But publicity is not enough, nor are his billions, when morally bankrupt.

Republican family values are totally forgotten.

Trump must invite voters for BUMBO:
an American tradition lost in the memory hole...
Get'em drunk to git dem votes...

Resist Conquest

Hawaiians take heart. The International Criminal Court has determined the intentional destruction of cultural sites can be ruled a War Crime. The 27th Sept. 2016 judgment has no power yet to punish those who've desecrated Native Hawaiian places, but it brings forward that day pono is restored in Hawai'i.

In ICC Prosecutor v. Al Mahdi, (evaluating the occupation & destruction around Timbuktu), the Court noted crimes against property are generally of less gravity than crimes against persons, but the targeted sites were religious buildings with a symbolic and emotional value for local inhabitants.

UNESCO hails this historic decision for heritage protection:"Deliberate attacks on culture have become weapons of war in a global strategy of cultural cleansing seeking to destroy people as well as the monuments bearing their identities, institutions of knowledge and free thought."

Respect for Culture  (Roerich)

The USA has systematically destroyed native cultures and marginalized the remnants. Many war criminals pass away with souvenirs of abuse decorating their walls; beyond reach of the ICC. Yet this is an alarm to them & their heirs: the world is watching.

Unsurprisingly, the ICC judgment has seen little publicity in American corporate media. But The Japan Times is on record with their stirring editorial, "A historic ruling to protect culture" (link)

Hawaiians cannot as yet bring the United States of America to justice in front of the International Criminal Court. Yet we can resist conquest, and we can understand & document ongoing atrocities and war crimes.

Important Native Hawaiian places have been, and are still being, deliberately vandalized. Such offenses include military installations & golf on Mōkapu (Heleloa funeral grounds), replacement of Puowaina heiau with Punchbowl cemetery, etc.

RESIST CONQUEST

Admittedly Immoral

I don't like Hillary or Trump. But Trump® is worse. The Donald feels entitled to grab & kiss [sexual assault] cause he's famous. Trump claims Bill Clinton said worse things when they golfed together. Next day, Trump appears to claim Bill Clinton's a rapist. So admittedly Trump hangs out with a rapist?

Republicans are saying this is  "just words" - WHY did Trump weave lies justifying sexual assault? Either Lies, or TRUTH.  

Trump tramps on everyone. Small vendors report he's stiffed them for payment; he directly invites creditors to try suing him. Realistically, who can battle this belligerent beastly billionaire? Might his temporary affections focus on your daughter, or mother or wife? "Family values" will not protect your kids from Trump's prison-yard banter.

Trump® was boasting of his sexual ASSAULTS.

We're left deciding which President is less threat to your teenager on the Oval Office tour.

SHAME on the Republican Party. 
SHAME on immoral Gov. Mike Pence, a Trump® butt-boy


Shame on America.

Don't elect Trump.  Don't put a harlot in the White House.

Scared of Trump

Say NO to TRUMP & his Republican party.

That's Entertainment !!

Serious Americans are upset.

So what else is new? The US political process is rigged, and the American sheeple are blind.  
We respond best to entertainment!

The Trump® phenomenon may tank before November Election Day, but (to borrow broadly from the Israeli sage Ben Nitai Netanyahu):  "No matter the election results" -- We Win.

The entertainment industry wins. 

The American political process is fueled by entertaining snippets, soundbites making money for media. Media eggs-on the contestants; media takes a profit on every tragedy, all the news, and each scandal: good, bad & ugly.

America's Family Value Republicans ? ...
























Trump® is a bum. But The Donald sells the news. Over the past half-year Trump's creepy remarks powered the media. Here are some soundbites (many from here (link); more are here (link); more Trumpisms will be added):


[ Howard Stern raises the topic of Trump's daughter Ivanka, age 17 ] Trump: "She's beautiful." Stern: "Can I say this? A piece of ass..." Trump: "Yeah!" 

[ Trump on first wife, Czechoslovakian-born Ivana Zelníčková ]  
"The funny thing about Ivana is the accent got worse as she grew older, and some people said she wanted it to happen. The accent actually became more pronounced as years went by. It was like the Chinese torture. You know, the water drops on your head,"

[ With Bush dynasty blueblood Billy, on Bush co-host Nancy O'Dell ] 
"I did try and fuck her - she was married... I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn't get there... And she was married."

"I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women. I just start kissing them, It's like a magnet - I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything -- Grab 'em by the pussy -- you can Do Anything."

[ Off-beat political statements by Republican candidate Trump ]
"I will build a great great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall."

"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists... and some I assume are good people." 

"Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!"

"We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated."

"I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it, You know, I'm inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. You know, the dresses. 'Is everyone okay?' You know, they're standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody okay?' And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that." 

"Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!"

"Our politicians are stupid. And the Mexican government is much smarter, much sharper, much more cunning. And they send the bad ones over because they don't want to pay for them. They don't want to take care of them. Why should they when the stupid leaders of the United States will do it for them?"


"He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured." 

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

“I don’t think I’ve made mistakes. Every time somebody said I made a mistake, they do the polls and my numbers go up, so I guess I haven't made any mistakes." 

"I have a great relationship with the blacks."

"Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell -- I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees."

"She does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

"If she gets to pick her judges – nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people. Maybe there is. I don’t know."
