RE NOCERO RACE AND NCAA

NO MORE A COINCIDENCE, IS IT, THAN RECENT PROSECUTIONS OF INVESTMENT ENTREPRENEURS OF COLOR ON WALL STREET?

One wonders why the nyt did not pick up, or did it, on such similar recent coincidences in its own back yard, so to speak?

Perhaps they had been warned off such a story, or not sell enough newspapers, or raise the bugbear of an attacks among ethnic white rivalries on and off Wall Street?

Yet it's almost always ok to raise the spectre of black white racism here. Indian (not black) entrepreneurs are open season with impunity it seems. No questions asked.

re JUST A SCHOLARLY REFERENCE FOR ALL YOU ZEALOTS OUT THERE CHRISTIANS JEWS AND MUSLIMS

Read  The Bible Unearthed. 

It deals with Old Testament, or Torah, period, and later Old Testament, .............. ancient history, the so called ' promised land ' period too, with current archaeological research findings.

Very illuminating.

Paraphrasing a classic line in 'The Graduate', ('plastics')

I've got just one word for you: CAMELS

(The Old Testament is filled with references to ' camel caravans  '.....................)

A must read for anyone who wants to know something,
rather than just believing something.

For the reading challenged, there is a miniseries:

RE A FAREWELL TO FANGS NYT

That was really mean of the Times, right now, 
to publish fan remark 
'not able to act out of a box'!
Lawyers and law students might be expected to dis like that...........

What a meanie publication the nyt can be.

(I know what it's like dealing with a little meanie like that!)

another flash from the past here

RE BBC ARTICLE RE EAST CHINA SEA ISLANDS CHINA JAPAN

They, BBC,  mentioned in passing that Japan and China established diplomatic relations only in 1972. 

(Maybe they, relations,  had existed in the past at some point.  Certainly, playing three sides, non diplomatically, in the Cold War, had long been surreptitiously going on behind the scenes.)

Coincidental that that was around the time of the Nixon Shock? The dumb money in the room.

WELCOME TO WW IV OR V

Most people would say III, but I count IV, or even V.

(I say the Seven Years War, or  ' French and Indian War ', was the first real WW I. 

But for those who follow Bobbitt and others, and call the entire 20th Century, WW I, WW II, and then Cold War, as one Long War, then they are at 'WW III' (what I call IV), but only if they Count the Seven Years War as ' WW I ', as I do. 

Otherwise, they are only at II....now. 

Whatever..... )

By my assessment, it, IV, has actually been going on for a couple of years now, 

but Americans, and most others, do not know this.

Asia, not just Middle East, or Eastern Europe, is a dry tinder box.

Even Gibraltar! BBC News Spain versus UK.

Looking, bigger picture, for just a moment, one could even speculate that the actual WW I was not The Seven Years War after all, 

but the struggles against the Mongols (first with China, really more a civilizational civil war, like our 2 World Wars and Cold War), with both the Orthodox, and Muslim worlds, and the ultimate conquest of Russia (Eastern Europe) (and parts of Central Asia, and India) by the Golden Horde.

BBC EU UNION NEEDS TO BE MORE LIKE THE US

Lots of luck with that.

"We need a real European state with all the building blocks that the United States put in place two hundred years ago. We need a true European government, a true European democracy, and a real European budget."

Our system is more a ' disunited states ' with a pseudo central government overlay, which does not, and has never, worked very well for its average citizens.

It shows how benighted Europeans are, that they should hold this so called system up for emulation.

RE TAUP FARDY

A certain girl in Berlin, 

also at times a little meanie, 

seeing this topic, 

might get a good guffaw!

re Top Forty song

Someone, it seems, perhaps through 'the BFF' intermediary, 

has partially pirated my little dittie caricaturing and mocking the top forty. 

Perhaps it's just one of those little coincidences, (but I had heard about it before it happened).

Although, here, it's certainly "not about the money money money" for such a sweet innocent little lyrical grab, 

a sort of trick or treat hold up, so to speak, 

some little varmint might at least have said " thank you ", 
after being such little meanies in the first place.

This is the cleaned up version of it, from many months ago:

I will admit that it was not all that bad, as a lyric.


RE COCA COLA TARGETED BY CHINA BBC ON BEING CHINAFIED

This is really a private matter between these two market capitalist entities.

Nothing really political here, just the normal process of more or less free international markets among private players and occasional dirty tricks by governments acting as private players. Just call it ' team play '.

No need for benighted investors, or God forbid, citizens, to have a care.

Is China a so called ' market state ', or is that something else, yet again? 

Any sovereignty or constitutional or military issues here?

Not to worry.

Call in Professor Counselor Bobbitt. He can perhaps help us with being on the verge of a new constitutional order, 

since we are sort of, figuratively, on the verge of China, in many ways, already; just not quite Chinafied enough quite yet.

Perhaps China might be made our fifty-first state (?), as we seem to like large numbers of them, historically, anyway, 

to help us maintain separations of powers at all levels.

Would that many new voters (billion) sway an election?

Many big political and economic decisions, and actions, are taken routinely by American politicians, based on influence of, and from, foreign governments and NGOs, as well as American private entities and individuals. (Think eg NAFTA AND WTO, Nixon Shock, trade and commerce history chronicled in Trading Places, etc. for example.)

No one here voted for them (foreign political leaders, big foreign lobbyist interests), but sovereignty was given up in this way, 

just as surely as it was in the ways discussed in Sovereignty At Bay regarding multinationals and their foreign direct investment history.

CHINA FILES A WTO COMPLAINT AGAINST EUROPE RE SUBSIDIES

So unfair to defend or subsidize one's industries or peoples. Shame on those Europeans.

Remember that it was Clinton who drove that one (WTO) through, on the tail of  NAFTA,

A REPUBLICAN INITIATIVE, BUT HE WAS THOROUGHLY ON BOARD.

MY WIFE SAYS THINGS LIKE 'HE ONLY DID IT TO TRY TO GET RE ELECTED',

AS IF THAT WERE SOMEHOW A VALID AND COMPLETE EXCUSE.

RE BBC CHINA BUYS STAKE IN HEATHROW AIRPORT

This is just a tiny example, of what one now often sees, with relatively unbridled so called market capitalism.

Can you say ' leverage decline ' re UK versus China, or China versus other global power players?

Australia has been selling big contracts to them  for a long time now. 

What if the deals, some time, somehow, for some unforeseen reason, need to be unwound?

Will it just be a little matter of money?
