Hegemonic Warfare Watch: China's ADIZ roundup
*Took the Motao out to Shihlin Night Market the other day.*
So much commentary -- apparently China's new ADIZ woke the world up. We've
arrived at one of those historical moments when even the densest
dunderheads can see, a *Panay *moment, or a remilitarization of the
Rhineland moment, when onlookers are beginning to realize the coming course
of events....
Lots of good stuff out there. Corey Wallace over at China Policy Institute

The Chinese government is increasingly perceived in Japan to be
implementing a calculated and “staged” approach to undermining Japan’s

Affordable Metal Roofing
I follow home construction trends and innovations. Two staples of home
construction IMHO should be banned, asphalt shingles and vinyl siding.
Affordable replacements now exist. Metal roofs are warranted 55 years and
should last indefinitely. The cost of a 50 year fiberglass backed shingle
may still be lower but I expect in a hundred years three actual
replacements.
Fiberglass faux stone on the other hand would be my choice of siding.
THE SAUDI CONNECTION
Saudi Arabia wants to buy $20 billion worth of war ships from the US and
Bath Iron Works in Maine is at the top of the list to build some or all of
them.
Are we getting so desperate in the US that we now build ships for
totalitarian monarchies whose idea of justice is to chop off heads and
hands of the accused? Can you see the firestorm of protest and controversy
that will ensue if this deal goes through?
Right Wing Automaton Mike Huckabee And Benghazi!

A Matter Of Self Respect
The Senate scandal has shredded Stephen Harper's credibility. You would

I caught nary a whisper of this turning into open revolt or even a
long-term subterranean assault along the lines of former prime minister
Paul Martin’s multi-year campaign to supplant Jean Chretien in the late
1990s. The reason is simply that Harper’s hold on his party is too
powerful. For many Conservative MPs, he is the only leader they’ve known.

On Thursday, Comet ISON was approaching the perihelion, the closest point

not understand the clear wording of the proposed legislation he tabled.
wmtc movie and series season is open, please post your suggestions here
What with the Red Sox winning the World Series (!!!) and Allan's book being
completed (available for pre-order on Amazon!!!), I forgot to announce the
official opening of Movie Season.
Since changing to streaming-only, and since I'm out one or two nights a
week, we really don't binge on movies anymore - no more three movies a week
for months on end - but we still need a go-to list.
Movies: well-made documentaries, quirky indies, suspenseful noir, crime
thrillers or capers, mind-benders, smart comedies - post them here.
Series: We are psyched for the long-awaited Sherlock S3! We're ... more »
thoughts on "the central park five": new york city, the central park jogger, and me
We've just seen "The Central Park Five," the Ken Burns film about five
young men of colour who were wrongfully arrested, indicted, and convicted
of rape and attempted murder, and who served seven, and in one case,
thirteen years, in prison for a crime they didn't commit.
There was virtually no evidence linking the five teenagers to the crime,
and enormous amounts of evidence showing they could not possibly have
committed it. They were convicted on the strength of illegally obtained,
coerced, false confessions.
In one sense, this story is one of the oldest in the United States. As ... more »
Healthy Ageing 5: RHC Forum on Ageing Market and Geriatric Care
I am half a century old already and will soon become a “dual citizen” in a
few years. That is, a Filipino citizen and senior citizen J. This plus the
politics of government interventionism in the name of “helping” the senior
citizens slowly get my interest on the literature of ageing.
Last October 29, 2013, I attended a forum by the Retirement and Healthcare
Coalition (RHC) on the Ageing Market at Diamond Hotel, Manila.
The speakers and their topics were the following:

Thanksgiving in the retail Earth
By Capt. Fogg
Stopped for gas yesterday, the kind of magnificent, glorious day that makes
your heart sing and your body forget its age. 74 degrees, with a few
little clouds, the bright sun shining off the newly waxed red convertible,
air as fresh as it is anywhere wafting like the smell of jasmine off the
blue Atlantic.
The advertising sign on the gas pump has a picture of bundled up people on
a toboggan and snow. My neighbors have begun to put up fake icicles, fake
frost, chrome caribou and sleds festooned with lights and other reminders
that Christmas, a month away, is really ... more »
Happy holiday
Thankful for all of you who have stuck with me at this little blog for all
these years. Wishing your day is filled with good food, warm company and
much laughter. [graphic via Danbury News Times]
THE MYSTERIOUS KELLERS
*Daniel and Frances Keller, in Austin Texas, 1992.*
In 1992, in Austin Texas, *Frances and Daniel Keller* were each sentenced
to 48 years in prison for involvement in child abuse at their Oak Hill
daycare centre for preschool children.
Evidence was produced in court that the Kellers had engaged in satanic
ritual abuse.
*Believing the Children: Fran and Danny Keller*
Around the same time, there were convictions in similar cases in
California, Massachusetts and Florida.
The convictions in many of those cases have since been overturned.

Person of the year
Thinking Aboot the possibility that Miley Cyrus could be Time Magazines
person of the year. Time magazine and their ilk are like some kind of
phantom appendage that we can feel but no longer have any use. I consider
myself extraordinarily informed, and have not read a hard copy of Time in
ten years and might have looked at it on line once in the past five years,
and that was only related to an entertainment story. But I remember when
Life and Time where the last word on critical thought. Unfortunately for
both companies and society in general critical thought no longer wins most

Much To Hide
This morning the CBC reports that, during the G8 and G20 summits three
years ago, the Harper government was a "partner" with the National Security
Agency. Together, they spied on our allies. The American whistle blower
Edward Snowden has released another batch of documents:
The briefing notes, stamped "Top Secret," show the U.S. turned its Ottawa
embassy into a security command post during a six-day spying operation by
the National Security Agency while U.S. President Barack Obama and 25 other
foreign heads of government were on Canadian soil in June of 2010.

Thanksgiving Misgivings
Unfortunately, Squanto wasn't psychic. If he was, think of all the
misery he could've saved his people.
But he wasn't. The Indians around Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts took
pity on the settlers from the Mayflower and essentially kept them alive.
Over the next four centuries, we repaid them with venereal disease and
small pox, massive land grabs, raids, fascist resident schools and shunting
them to reservations.
Because that's the way of the White Man and his Manifest Destiny.
And we're still seeing the same spirit today in mostly white corporate
executives who have... more »

Morocco Diary Chapter 1: A Rainy Day in Morocco
Morocco Diary Chapter 1By American Kabuki
November 28, 2013
Love to all you readers from a very windy and wet Thanksgiving Day in
Morocco at Casa Caleb! Winter seems to have arrived here on the Northern
coast of Morocco in full force We've had some sunny days this week but the
blowing wind has been a pretty constant roar. Winter has arrived and
mediterranean sea is roiling. This part of Morocco (when the sun shines)
is very beautiful. Even in the rain its a beautiful place, but I think D.

Happy Thanksgiving, America
And you thought all the turkeys were on the table!
One turkey not on the table is James Lankford, a far right extremist
representing a relatively mainstream Oklahoma City. We hope that next year
Tom Guild will defeat his reelection efforts and replace him in Congress.
Tom is eager to join the Congressional Progressive Caucus and his
Thanksgiving message fit in pretty well with theirs, even if it was of a
more personal nature.

Canada cooperated with U.S. spying during G8 and G20
The Toronto Star headline does not accurately reflect the content of the
article
"Canada knew US was spying" just doesn't do it for me. However, the news
contained within is not a surprise! Considering the melding/harmonization
of Canada and the US under numerous despicable ‘trade’ agreements moving
towards the unyielding centralized power structure that will be the essence
of the NAU.

Trans Pacific Partnership: TPP DEFENDERS TAKE TO THE INTERNET TO DELIVER OFFICIAL TALKING POINTS; INADVERTENTLY CONFIRM OPPONENTS' WORST FEARS
Reblogged from: http://goo.gl/oedX7R
The leaked TPP draft, pried loose from the "open and transparent" grip of
the USTR, is generating plenty of commentary all over the web. After
getting a good look inside, it's little wonder the USTR felt more
comfortable trying to push this through under the cover of darkness.
As the criticism of the push for IP maximalism mounts, the treaty's
defenders have leapt into the fray, hoping to assure everyone who wasn't
previously aware of the treaty's contents (which is pretty much everyone)
that there's nothing to see here and please move along.

Legal aid and admissibility of evidence
R. v. Carrol and Denny, 2013 ONSC 7072 (CanLII),
[29] It is not the role of Legal Aid to determine what evidence
is, or is not admissible, at a criminal trial. Where the Crown seeks the
admission of evidence at trial, it is incumbent on the defence to not only
prepare for the motion, but to prepare for the trial as if that evidence
may be admitted. I cannot countenance refusing to admit relevant evidence
on the basis that Legal Aid has determined it would not be admissible and
therefore would not provide appropriate funding to defend against it.
Bitcoin will probably keep on skyrocketing
*Bitcoins' deflationary problem*
*Disclaimer:* I own no bitcoins while I am writing this blog post.
Bitcoins, a virtual currency, were proposed in late 2008 and started in
early 2009. Those who have been in it for a year or more have seen
remarkable returns – something like 8,000-percent returns in a year. Most
of us have missed this opportunity but it's completely plausible that the
rise will continue. I want to discuss these issues.
The bitcoin is a unit of wealth stored in the solution to a difficult
mathematical problem that needs the brute force of computers to be found.

Climate Science is settled, 98% of climate scientists accept that.
I keep being told that 'Climate Science is settled because 98% of climate

Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics: amazingly different biological sisters
Enrico Fermi died exactly 59 years ago. (Click.)
This greatest Italian physicist after Galileo Galilei was also the ultimate
example of a physicist who was both a great theorist and a great
experimenter.
*Fermi speaking in 1954*
Fermi has done some amazing work on the nuclear bomb, nuclear energy. More
theoretically, he's famous for the first theory of the beta-decay and for
the Fermi-Dirac statistics as well as numerous other things.
His theory of the \(\beta\)-decay from the 1930s is rather simple to
summarize. All the \(\beta\)-decays of the nuclei may ultimately be
