The most shocking cover up in the United States military is not what you expect

The Invisible War - Official Trailer

THE INVISIBLE WAR is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within our US military. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire with the number of assaults in the last decade alone in the hundreds of thousands.

Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of several young women, the film reveals the systemic cover up of the crimes against them and follows their struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. THE INVISIBLE WAR features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm conditions that exist for rape in the military, its history of cover-up, and what can be done to bring about much needed change.

How ‘Comfort Women’ Court Ruling Led To Kyoto Dinner Tiff
By Yuka Hayashi


　ＣＮＮとかの外国人記者だけでなく、ＷＳＪとかＮＹＴとかの日本人記者も、社会的知識とか歴史的知識というのがない。

　彼女が韓国政府が日本の制度を真似して米兵に提供した性奴隷制度について、知らないとすれば、あまりにも無知であるし、知っていて報道しないとすれば、あまりにも正義に反している。
殺人を犯した白人と黒人がいて、謝罪をした黒人の犯罪だけいつまでも報道し、白人たちのした犯罪については見逃すみたいな差別行為であるし、米軍の犠牲になった多くの性奴隷に不正義を犯している。


また、英語圏の読者にわかりやすく、日本で何が起きているのか伝えない。

この記事、韓国の大法院が「元慰安婦らの個人請求権放置は違憲である」という判決を下したその後のすったもんだについてであるが、
　

As the population of surviving former “comfort women” shrank fast, South Korea’s constitutional court in August, 2011 ordered the South Korean government to reopen negotiations with Japan and help the women settle their disputes, saying that failing to do more violated the basic rights of these women.

South Korea wants Japan to offer apologies to individual women and revise its compensation scheme in a way where the government’s role in forced prostitution is more thoroughly acknowledged

　これは、日本は政府が援助した民間の基金によりすでに補償を申し出ているし、総理からの謝罪の手紙もしっかり出していることをもっとはっきり言うべきであろう。
　そして、同じような性奴隷制度を活用していたドイツや韓国、米軍はいまだに謝罪していないことも付け加えれば正義にも適っていた。

さらに、一番大事なことは、話題の人、橋下氏のこの件についての発言をとりあげていない。、

慰安婦賠償問題で橋下氏　「判断は国際司法裁判所で」
２０１３、５．２４　日経

日本維新の会の橋下徹共同代表（大阪市長）は24日、元従軍慰安婦側が賠償を求めている問題について
「日韓基本条約で賠償請求権は終わったと考えるのが日本の立場」としたうえで
「国際司法裁判所に条約の解釈の判断を委ねるべきだ」と述べた。市役所で記者団に語った

　これほどまっとう意見はないだろう。


　日本のニュースを読んでいないのなら、記者として失格だし、あえて無視したのならば、女性から自己防衛で殴り返されて倒れている強姦犯の写真を撮って、犯人を暴行の被害者として報道するときのように、あえて、全体の一部しか報道しないことで、読者をミスリードしている。


　最近では報道と宣伝の違いが殆どなくなってきていることを自覚すべきなのだろう。

かわいい文化 ‘kawaii’ culture

Ｊ－ＰＯＰと世界的人気の「カワイイ」文化
J-Pop and the global success of ‘kawaii’ culture
ＢＢＣワールドニュース 大井真理子

彼の歌詞はうっとうしいほど耳に残り、あまり多くのことを言わず、文法的に全く意味をなさないことさえあります。
そのいい例は、きゃりーの曲「つけまつける」という曲です。直訳すると「つけ睫を付ける」という意味。そして中田氏は、曲についても常識外れなところが多いと言います。

しかしその不完全さこそが、「カワイイ」文化の本質なのだと、Jポップの若き仕掛人は言います。
「これは日本人の劣等感からきているのだと思いますが、欠点をかわいらしさに変えて、肯定的にとらえようとしているのです」と中田氏は言います。

「例えば子どもが弾くたどたどしいピアノは、かわいらしく感じられます。僕はその不完全さを音楽で作り出そうとしているんです」

But these imperfections, according to J-Pop's young mastermind, are what the kawaii culture is about. "I think it derives from our own inferiority complexes, so we try to treat our shortcomings as positive by making them cute," he said.

"For example, if a child is playing piano badly, that's cute. I am trying to create that imperfection with my music."

　きゃりぱにゅぱにゅがいわれているような可愛さを体現しているかどうかはわからない。


　しかし、日本だけかどうか、わからないが、欠けた茶碗に美を感じて感動したり、あるいは、落語の与太郎やドラえもんのノビタが愛されたり、といった、不完全さ、欠点に対して許容的であり、また、高い評価さえ与える潮流はたしかにある。

　それを劣等感からきているという分析は正しくなかろう。子供の不完全な演奏は可愛いが、しかし、鑑賞者が劣等感をもっている必要はない。


　これから日本が衰退していくにつれ、イギリスのように、”自虐”ネタを外に”自慢する”、という複雑な潮流もうまれてくるのではないかな、なぞとと思っている。　これは劣等感というよりも、むしろ、みすぼらしくなりつつも、捨てきれない優越感をもつ人々の心理様態に似ているのかもしれない。

恋に生きる母 Women who leave a marriage are much more harshly criticised than men who do the same'

Angie walked out on her children to put HER happiness first. And she hasn't a shred of remorse
She had a seemingly perfect life living in a seven-bed house with her family
But Angie said she was 'bored' with her marriage
She sought out an old flame on Facebook and they had an affair

‘I was bored. I had this feeling that there was something missing.’ However, Angie insists initially she felt divorce ‘was not an option’.



‘He said: “Hello ladies, you’re both looking lovely!” I was bowled over - it was just like when I was 18.’ When their friend left, Philip and Angie stayed, talking, until 9pm.

'While it might have been easier to remain in my comfortable life, I was in love with another man. I'd made my decision'
‘He moved in to kiss me and I responded,’ says Angie. ‘I knew this was a life-changing moment.
Nothing was ever going to be the same again. We were kissing like teenagers.
‘It was hard to tear myself away, but I’d arranged for my husband to pick me up. As we drove home, I pretended to be asleep so he couldn’t ask me about my day.’


Surely, she felt a twinge of guilt? ‘I did feel guilty,’ she admits. ‘My marriage may not have been the best - Michael was possessive and there were rows - but I adored my boys.
‘I didn’t want to hurt them, but all that night I couldn’t sleep for thinking about Philip.’



‘Philip is a hard worker, but he earns nothing like the salary of my ex,’ Angie reflects. ‘I’ve swapped a rich man for a relatively poor man and my life has completely changed.’

外国人留学生による偽装結婚 Half of sham marriages involve foreign students

Now half of sham marriages involve foreign students: Members of bogus colleges who face being kicked out marry Britons and EU citizens to prolong their stay
Figures come from a snapshot Home Office survey over three months
It is revealed 50% of ceremonies involved people who had first entered as students
By JAMES SLACK
PUBLISHED: 23:02 GMT, 5 June 2013 | UPDATED: 23:03 GMT, 5 June 2013

In a major new immigration scam, half of all bogus weddings now involve foreign students.
The revelation shows the full scale of the past abuse of the student visa system.
The non-EU nationals faced removal from Britain after their bogus colleges were shut down in a crackdown by the Government.


But, instead of returning home, they are arranging fake weddings with British nationals or EU citizens to prolong their stay, often paying thousands of pounds in fees to 'fixers'.
Under a Brussels edict, marrying an EU citizen can grant the same rights to stay as marrying a Briton.
Officials say the trend shows that the migrants' true reason for travelling to the UK in the first place was to settle, not to study. Last year, they identified a suspected 2,000 sham marriages.

China’s Stealth Wars

Throughout China’s recent rise from poverty to relative prosperity and global economic power, the fundamentals of its statecraft and strategic doctrine have remained largely unchanged. Since the era of Mao Zedong, China has adhered to the Zhou Dynasty military strategist Sun Tzu’s counsel: “subdue the enemy without any battle” by exploiting its weaknesses and camouflaging offense as defense. “All warfare,” Sun famously said, “is based on deception.”

　中国の孫子戦法はなんか、さもありなん、というかんじで、説得力あるな。

One of the first signs of this shift was China’s revival in 2006 of its long-dormant claim to Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh. In a bid to broaden its “core interests,” China soon began to provoke territorial disputes with several of its neighbors. Last year, China formally staked a claim under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to more than 80% of the South China Sea.
CommentsView/Create comment on this paragraphFrom employing its strong trade position to exploiting its near-monopoly on the global production of vital resources like rare-earth minerals, China has staked out a more domineering role in Asia. In fact, the more openly China has embraced market capitalism, the more nationalist it has become, encouraged by its leaders’ need for an alternative to Marxist dogma as a source of political legitimacy. Thus, territorial assertiveness has become intertwined with national renewal.
