「原発廃止」渋谷で音楽デモ　首相の浜岡停止に評価の声

2011年5月8日

私は日の丸デモにしても、サウンドデモにしてもその政治的影響力には疑問をもっているが、日の丸デモよりこちらのほうが、若者ウケするような感じはするわなああ。

私はなぜ原発反対派をやめたか

　英語の報道でも日本の報道でも、浜岡原発の風当たりは強い。しかし、浜岡運営者が自信があるなら、堂々と、その主張をしてみるといいと思う。

　また、日本も雰囲気に流されない冷静な議論をする土壌作りのいい機会にしてもらいたい。

嘉手納統合案は運用上の制約も多いが、次善の策としてそれでも構わないけど。空軍特殊作戦軍団もCV-22オスプレイ（空軍型長距離仕様）を使う事だしね。でも空軍を説得する方法は全く思い浮かばない。 #futenma

Nailing Osama: The media's delight
The circumstances and timing of Osama bin Laden's death can be explained by one word: Politics.
Danny Schechter Last Modified: 06 May 2011

　影響力を失いつつあった、アルカイーダ、これまた影響力を失いつつあったオサマをなぜ、いま、殺害したのかーー政治だよ、と。

　米国のメディアではいま、アルカイダのテロ計画と、ビンラディンがいかに首謀者であったか、をバンバン報道している。つまり、あの殺害は正当だったのだ、という宣伝であろう。

Almost half of Detroit unable to read
permalink email story to a friend print version
Published: 06 May, 2011

A study by the Detroit Regional Workforce Fund found that 47 percent of adults in the city are ‘functionally illiterate’.
‘Functionally illiterate’ means they struggle with day-to-day tasks, like reading job applications, following a bus schedule or understanding product labels.
Those deemed illiterate however have been educated. The report indicated that the same group found to be ‘functionally illiterate’ had completed element education, where reading is taught and half of the group had either a high school diploma or a GED.
Nearly half of the city’s population lacks the necessary skills to work in even the most entry level and remedial jobs.

UK colonial papers to be made public

The four Kenyans suing the UK say they were assaulted between 1952 and 1961 by British colonial officers in detention camps during the Mau Mau rebellion.

Thousands of people involved in the rebellion, or suspected of supporting it, were sent to the camps for "screening", or interrogation.

Britain says it cannot be held responsible for the actions of a colonial government.

The Kenya Human Rights Commission has said 90,000 Kenyans were executed, tortured or maimed during the crackdown, and 160,000 were detained in appalling conditions.

まだ、決着がついていないんですな。自国の歴史にうとい在日イギリス人が一部いるようなので念のため。

France football heads mired in race row over alleged quotas for ethnic players
Senior heads of national team allegedly approved system to limit black players and those of north African origins

guardian.co.uk, Friday 29 April 2011

France has been plunged into a fresh race crisis after claims that football officials tried to limit black and Arab players on youth training schemes to make the French team more white.

The French football federation has opened an internal investigation after website Mediapart reported that top management approved a quota system to limit young black players and those of north African origin emerging as candidates for the national team. The alleged plan involved limiting non-white youngsters as young as 12 or 13 from entering the selection process through training centres and academies.

Laurent Blanc in jeopardy as race row rattles French consciousness

Fifa rules stipulate which players countries can pick. Governments decide who can get passports. French football officials were debating whether to deliberately exclude people that both Fifa and the government allow them to pick. People in other countries often do the same. The debates about the mooted England call-up for Manuel Almunia showed that. Many fans were opposed on principle even though the government says he is entitled to citizenship, the England cricket and rugby teams would have had no qualms about selecting him if he were good enough and he has spent more time in the country than, say, Owen Hargreaves. Similarly, many Irish fans scoffed recently when Jermaine Pennant revealed that he was considering declaring for the Republic, the land of his grandfather. The reason many fans gave was that Pennant had not made his Irish roots known before and was presumably only doing so now because he had finally accepted that England were not going to give him a game. He is, therefore, an opportunist. But how could they know that? And even if they were right, so what? Is it wrong to go to the country that gives you the best opportunities? He would only be picked if he was the best man for the job. Isn't that how it should be?
