13-01-08 Norwegian in Jerusalem





This Norwegian guy was under the influence, so I could not get out of him much about the song, and the next day he was gone. But the little that I did get was interesting. I have no clue how he got to this song, since it had nothing to do with the conversation that preceded it. It appears to tell the shape of things past and future:  He said it was an old Norwegian folksong.  The song alternates between two voices – the sheriff and the commoner.  The commoner has finished compulsory three year labor for the sheriff.  Upon release, he asks for cloths.  The sheriff says he needs none.  The commoner asks for some money, since he was a good worker.  The sheriff first gives him 2 shillings, and after begging, the commoner gets 3 shillings, one for each year.

13-01-09 FUKUSHIMA


I vistied Japan after the disaster, and I meet Japanese visitors here.  They are depressed.  The feeling is that their oountry is permanently crippled, and rightly so.  They also know that their government is lying to them.  Millions of people, including children, should have been evactuated from much wider radius of the disaster site.  The scope of the damage in Japan and beyond is covered up.  Japan is too small to abandon such a large area, as done in Chernobil.  The cost of the cleanup will be phenomenal, and the effort is likely to take hundreds of eyars.  The only positive point in it all, I believe, is that Japan will become a leading expert in radiation cleanup technology, and will be able to sell the expertise, next time such disaster happens, which is inevitable.
No government can be trusted to truthfully report to the People on radiation levels.  People's organizations for independent monitoring of radiation exist online.

13-01-09 MF Global judge nixes customer group's bid to depose Corzine


The case of MF Global is unique, since the company, going under, used the customers' accounts, which should have been protected.  In other words, executives stole about $1.6 Billion in customers' funds, and got off scott free... patronized by the US government and the courts to this date.  jz

MF Global judge nixes customer group's bid to depose Corzine

By Nick Brown | Reuters – 21 hours ago
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A bankruptcy judge on Tuesday rejected a bid by former MF Global customers to depose the collapsed brokerage's former chief, Jon Corzine.
In a written ruling in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, Judge Martin Glenn said the Commodity Customer Coalition, which had sought permission to question Corzine and other former MF Global insiders, lacked standing because it is not a direct creditor in the case.
The coalition, a grassroots group led by Chicago-based commodities trader James Koutoulas, bills itself as representing the interests of thousands of traders whose accounts at MF Global were frozen when the company went under.
But the coalition itself is merely a "'watchdog' entity with its own independent goals," hoping to depose Corzine "in furtherance of its own interests" rather than those of the MF Global estate, Glenn said in his decision.
Koutoulas, reached by phone on Tuesday, dismissed that reasoning as "the most minute technicality imaginable.
"I could have filed 10,000 versions of the motion, one on behalf of each customer we represent," Koutoulas said, adding that the coalition is considering appealing the decision.

Kucinich on NDAA: Indefinite detention part of push to shred Constitution

15,430 views

Human rights activists in the US have slammed Barack Obama for signing the new National Defense Authorization Act. They claim the president has failed to deliver his campaign promises by passing the bill that allows the indefinite detention of citizens without charge or trial and also by failing to close the Guantanamo prison camp. This comes despite Obama's own threats to veto the new NDAA from prohibiting the closure of the notorious prison camp. For more, RT talks to Dennis Kucinich, member of the House of Representatives of Ohio's 10th congressional district.

Saving Private Face: Manning 'awarded' 112 days off potential life sentence


Published on Jan 9, 2013
Private Bradley Manning, accused of sharing classified US army files with the whistleblowing website Wikileaks, will get a 112 days cut from his eventual sentence. The victory for his defense team comes after a judge ruled that Manning's 9 months in prison amounted to pre-trial punishment and was excessively harsh. Retired colonel Morris Davis told us the military is just trying to spare its blushes.

          Photo: 31/12/12 The last night of the year a group of people went to make noise at the new location of the Schiphol deportation prison (Amsterdam). It is an international tradition on New Year’s Eve to go to the prisons to break the silence and isolation. In the new Schiphol prison ‘De Poort’ over 1,000 people will be locked up. Even more cells for a murderous system. Last night, recorded messages from the RefugeeChurch —a squatted church inhabited by illegal (undocumented) people in Amsterdam— were broadcasted for the people inside. In the Netherlands there are thousands of people locked up because they don’t have (the right) papers, in even worse conditions than the normal prisons. People are being kept for months and then either deported or kicked out on to the street for being ‘practically not deportable,’ and a couple of months later the circus starts again. The ones deciding on these ‘measurements’ are the few inventing laws everybody should bend for; they’re the ones making money from repression. The whole prison system is based on their need for regulating and controlling ‘society’. People are being locked up just because they don’t fit into that society, don’t contribute enough in economical terms, or just to scare people. For the State it’s about protecting the rich and the order, to maintain exploitation and suppression.
