This page is titled for the California Raisins commercial using the Marvin Gaye song.

 

The page is the equivalent of No-Mans Land - the distance between the Officers Club

and the Enlisted Club.  Something I was warned of as soon as I was old enough to walk.

 

Appreciate that.   Because there is no love in that statement.

Charisma isn't all that.

 

Visiting another dead rock every 48 years or so isn't a admirable trait.

Mass Acceleration

 

 

 

 

 

   Governments cannot compete with or reconcile with the yellow journalism that pervades not just the

 

   media in general, but is and has focused on geopolitics.  This is magnified by inept attempts by many

 

   governments to make media appearances to correct this, and in at least one case, a government that

 

   attempts to take advantage of this, and fails badly.  There is little that can be done about irresponsible

 

   journalism when it holds the governmental process hostage.  If there is to be no intellectual attempt

 

   to legislate a solution then one must face the inevitable conclusion that media interference in government

 

   affairs will certainly lead to less suitable international relations and less suitable governments.

 

 

 

   One would argue by reason: Terrorists do not engage without media coverage. Terrorists get media

 

   coverage, the media sells soap, and governments go bankrupt attempting to correct the situation.

 

 

 

   For China the issue of control over the media is not an issue, yet.  Within a

 

   decade it will be.  China cannot merge with Democracy without sacrificing

 

   some of the standards it currently enforces. This is a known factor, and has

 

   been, at least here, for some time.  With Democracies, this is a much different

 

   issue. Although the US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, it does not

 

   address the problems faced more than 230 years later. And no amendment

 

   can correct that. Monarchies are free to do as they choose, and have, as yet,

 

   done little, even in defense of dead schoolgirls whose phones have been hacked.

 

 

 

   What is to be done to ensure peace and governmental liberties?

 

   The answer is simple, and again, has been known here for some time.

 

 

 

   All governments will eventually, at some point, see the wisdom of managing their own media;

 

   with the wisest choice being the management and control of their own networks.

 

 

 

   *It is not implied nor should it ever be inferred that China should abandon it's peaceful society

 

   and peaceful government in support of increasingly violent Democracy.  While yellow journalism

 

   persists in accusations, at no time in China's 5000 year history has it shown aggression to the

 

   outside world. To the contrary, a Wall stands in place to ensure aggression does not invade them.

 

 

 

 

 

   Reason is dead, long live broadcasters.

   Pathetically, both the Terrorists and the media have flourished under American Leadership.

Over and over and over and over and over.  Every single nutcase that comes along gets

all the press they could want.

Enablers "R" US

 

Twitter and yellow journalism will only feed this clusterfuck.  What

should be done with that?  Nicki Haley's remarks would be

credible if only the DPRK were anchored off the California Coast.

 

 

If unilateral actions were the answer, why would this page exist?

 

 

I will post again at 1550 EDT Tuesday.  Go figure.

The DPRK actions on 2 September will be long remembered.

Yankee go home is now the DPRK's  second worst nightmare.

It's a holiday: eat, drink and be merry - for tomorrow...

Interim remarks

 

Korean Bar-B-Q was not on the menu in Asia as of Friday.   It is very unpopular on Sunday.

 

A very important distinction can be made:  The DPRK is not Mongolia.  They do not share the same friendliness.

 

Effectively, the DPRK just bit the hand that feeds it.    While Russia's posture is defensive in the DPRK's favor (or was), Asia's is not.

 

 

A positive benefit that can be taken from this is the collapse of the shaft.  This terminates testing.

 

I expect discussions between Asia and the DPRK.  One way discussions.

Notation:    I am fine, I will be fine on Sunday and Monday etcetera.

 

I am on top, PERIOD.

 

 

I am aware of who is not on top and I sleep alone.

So, if I am awakened, I will know before you do, Period.

 

I cannot tell you to relax, that's refutable.  I can tell you it will be addressed

FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING.
