慰霊の日 知事「基地の県外移設を」
6月23日 13時44分



沖縄は23日、太平洋戦争末期の沖縄戦から68年の「慰霊の日」を迎えました。
最後の激戦地となった沖縄本島南部の糸満市では戦没者追悼式が開かれ、沖縄県の仲井真知事は、アメリカ軍普天間基地の県外移設を日米両政府に求めていくと改めて訴えました。

昭和20年の沖縄戦では、住民を巻き込んだ激しい地上戦の末、犠牲者は20万人を超え、県民の4人に1人が命を落としました。
慰霊の日の23日、最後の激戦地となった糸満市摩文仁の平和祈念公園では、正午前から、遺族などおよそ5800人が参列して、沖縄県主催の戦没者追悼式が開かれ、犠牲者に1分間の黙とうがささげられました。
このあと仲井真知事は平和宣言で「私たちは68年前の戦争で多くの尊い命を失い、生涯癒やすことのできない深い痛みを負いました。しかし沖縄は今もなお、アメリカ軍基地の過重な負担を強いられており、日米両政府に対して一日も早い普天間基地の県外移設、そして日米地位協定の抜本的な見直しを強く求めます」と訴えました。また安倍総理大臣は、沖縄戦の犠牲者に哀悼の意をささげたうえで、「基地の集中が今なお沖縄県民の大きな負担となっており、その負担を少しでも軽くするよう全力を尽くす」と述べました。
沖縄戦から68年がたった今も、戦争の記憶と共にアメリカ軍基地の負担を抱える沖縄は平和への祈りに包まれています。

また、沖縄県遺族連合会の照屋苗子会長は、「去年オスプレイが配備されたうえ、夏にはさらに追加配備とされていて、遺族として断じて容認できません。
普天間基地の県外移設も切望しています
」と述べました

The 'Christian' movement that tells husbands to SPANK their wives 'to correct misbehavior'
By ASHLEY COLLMAN
PUBLISHED: 15:52 GMT, 22 June 2013 | UPDATED: 19:29 GMT, 22 June 2013





A growing number of married American couples are agreeing to allow husbands to keep their wives 'in line' by taking to corporal punishment.
The trend is called Christian Domestic Discipline and much of what is known about the practice is published on the website Learning Domestic Discipline, published by husband and wife CDD duo, Clint and Chelsea.

The website states: 'It is an arrangement between two adults who share the belief that the husband is the head of the household and with that position comes the right to enforce his authority.'








'Most of the women who write about their CDD experiences online are not complaining. Many of them report feeling extremely calm and relaxed after being disciplined, and believe it is an expression of their husband caring about them and their marriage, enough to help them modify their behavior,’ Rubino said.

Snowden’s real crime: Humiliating the state




Benjamin restates one of the fundamental goals of classical liberal political philosophy, at least for philosophers such as Hobbes and Locke, namely to eliminate the use of violence from everyone except the state and its duly appointed deputies. This is why in Locke, the state “agrees” to protect the rights of individuals in exchange for individuals giving up their right of retribution and punishment. The right of violence becomes the sole provenance of the state, whether through the death penalty, prisons or defense of the state itself.

However, as we also know, the state monopolizes and regulates the use of violence in the interests of those who have the most influence over the state: these wealthy men who decide the personification of the state. In the 1600s English North America, this would have been white Englishmen. In the 1910s, Benjamin was interested in the role of workers in challenging the monopoly of state violence.

Understood in this way, the right to strike constitutes in the view of labor, which is opposed to that of the state, the right to use force in attaining certain ends. The antithesis between the two conceptions emerges in all its bitterness in face of a revolutionary general strike. In this, labor will always appeal to its right to strike, and the state will call this appeal an abuse, since the right to strike was not “so intended,” and take emergency measures.


Perhaps unsurprisingly, unions aroused a widespread secret admiration from a public that was weary of the state’s imposition.









For example, Locke’s story of slavery is more accurately read as the story of colonialism, and eventually, imperialism. Strangers attack Englishmen. Englishmen fight back and win. They have the right to kill the strangers, but grant them their lives in exchange for their agreeing (at least implicitly) to be slaves.




The same may be more drastically suggested if one reflects how often the figure of the “great” criminal, however repellent his ends may have been, has aroused the secret admiration of the public. This cannot result from his deed, but only from the violence to which it bears witness.



How might this apply to Edward Snowden? Snowden’s crime, if you will, was that he disrupted the state’s ability to protect its monopoly of violence by exposing its widespread surveillance activities. He did this despite the widely claimed fears of interested parties that doing so would “undermine national security,” and in the face of the state’s insistence that these activities are justified and justifiably secret. In this sense, the fact that he challenged the prerogatives of the state itself makes his alleged crime so much more transgressive than, for example, merely lying to Congress about weapons of mass destruction, starting a war with a random nation in which tens of thousands die, or torturing rendered persons. None of these latter crimes are a threat to the state itself, and for that reason may be readily forgiven and forgotten. Manning and Snowden are, however, “great criminals” in that their actions embarrassed and undermined state power. They can never be forgiven or forgotten.







it will always be a remarkable sight to a see a lone person stand up to the Leviathan, composed as it is of its myriad eyes ― all watching, waiting, to clamp down on any threat, no matter how trivial ― to its relentless monopolistic pursuit of violence, and power.



これはわりに面白い記事で、



国家とは、支配階層が自分たちのために役立てるための、暴力の独占機関である、



と。


なお、国家をどう見るか。

国家も参照


お前たちの安全は守ってやるが、おれが暴力を独占する、と。で、植民地主義、帝国主義からは、お前たちがおれらに、刃向かえば、暴力を独占しているおれらは、お前たちを殺す権利があるが、しかし、奴隷として生かしてやる、という具合になる、と。

 で、安全を守るべく秘密裏に人々を監視し、暴力を独占するという国家の特権をスノーデンやウィキリークス事件のマニング被告 は、その秘密を暴露することによって揺るがしてしまったから、国家にとっては赦しがたい存在なのである、と。

 しかし、彼らのように、、レバイアサンに立ち向かう者たちをみるのはみものだなあ、と。

  アメリカという国はその国民にとってのみならず、現代世界の市民にとっても、リバイアサンであろう、というのが、私の印象でもある。

 やはり、なんとかして、揺すぶりをかけたいと思うのですが、無力でしかも、残念なことに権力の監視機関たるべきNYTなどのメディアに羊記者ばかりで、役にたたないーーなさけない話であります。

Profiles



Sarah, 19, Brooklyn, NY



I’m half-Japanese and half-white. When I’m in America I feel more Japanese, but when I go to Japan I feel really white. It’s strange because I don’t really have a home. My mom has lived in America for 30 years, but says she views her time here as an extended vacation. I asked her if she wants to move back to Japan, but she said she’s too old at this point. She’s basically cut off ties with my dad so I told her she should do what she wants.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, but I didn’t really speak English until I was five. Now English is my primary language. I think in English. I dream in English. My Japanese is slowly fading.

My father doesn’t speak Japanese, and my mom’s English is pretty bad. Growing up, I’d talk to my mother in Japanese and my father in English. We were rarely able to communicate as a group.

I’m really tight with my mom and she’s awesome. Now I don’t really talk to my dad. His and my personality don’t get along well. I haven’t talked to my dad about being gay, because we don’t talk, but I think he knows.

My mom knows and she understands and is awesome. In emails she told me “I accept who you are, blah blah blah.” But a month ago she asked me, “Are you having gender troubles? Do you want to convert genders? Is it because of your father? Do you want to be a man?” And I told her, “It’s okay, I like being a girl, relax.” I had to calm her down a little bit.

I don’t think I officially ever came out. It was more of a gradual process. Straight kids don’t have to announce their sexuality, so I don’t think I should have to either. My junior year of high school I went to Oxbow, an arts program in California that has students from all over the country. I guess it was that classic coming-of-age experience for me. It was the first time I was independent and I had to figure out how to live. After that I started being more open about being gay.




Michelle, 20, Bronx, NY



I can’t say I don’t miss my family. I will miss them. Especially my little brother. They don’t pick up their cell phones. I’ve left emails, messages, etcetera. It really hurts. But I have to live with it.

I think my mom is upset that I left her. The fact is that I was the one that did everything for her. I’d make coffee, make breakfast, do homework, get the other kids ready. After school, I’d go to work, come home, and do the same thing over again. She’s pissed because she lost the one kid that did anything for her.

A lot has happened with my family. The story starts in my home town, Mobile, Alabama. I came out as gay to my mother at 13. She knew my stepfather wouldn’t like the fact that he had a gay son, so she didn’t tell him until I was 18. She was right. I got kicked out when he found out.



 日系のハーフの子の話がでている。アメリカで思わされているほど日本も開かれていないとも思わないがいずれにせよ、がんばってもらいたい。

 異性愛者は告白する必要がないから、同性愛者も告白する必要はない、というのは一理ある。ただ、マイノリティーゆえに、社会にその存在と権利を認めさせる、また、同じ悩みをもった人々と連帯する、などの目的のため、カミングアウトというのも意義がある、とは思う。 もちろん、義務でもない。

Possible new leak at Hanford State, higher radioactivity levels detected

Hanford Nuclear Site Tank May Be Leaking Waste Into Soil
By SHANNON DININNY 06/21/13 09:03 PM ET EDT




State and federal officials have long said leaking tanks at Hanford do not pose an immediate threat to the environment or public health. The largest waterway in the Pacific Northwest – the Columbia River – is still at least 5 miles away and the closest communities are several miles downstream.

However, if this dangerous waste escapes the tank into the soil, it raises concerns about it traveling to the groundwater and someday potentially reaching the river.




Two radionuclides comprise much of the radioactivity in Hanford's tanks: cesium-137 and strontium-90. Both take hundreds of years to decay, and exposure to either would increase a person's risk of developing cancer.

The Energy Department announced last year that AY-102 was leaking between its two walls, but it said then that no waste had escaped.

However, Seattle television station KING5 has reported that the cleanup contractor and the department knew a year earlier that the tank was leaking.



At the height of World War II, the federal government created Hanford as part of a secret project to create the atomic bomb. The site ultimately produced plutonium for the world's first atomic blast and for one of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan; it continued production through the Cold War.

These days, it has a reputation as the nation's most contaminated nuclear site, with a cleanup expected to take several decades. It costs up to US$2 billion annually and has already set taxpayers back US$40 billion, with US$115 billion more expected to be needed.

Lil Wayne - Steps on the US flag - God Bless America


Lil Wayne defends trampling American flag while shooting new video
By Hollie McKayPop TartsPublished June 18, 2013FoxNews.com



アメリカの国旗を踏みつけながら歌うラッパー


"Lil Wayne's exploits are an atrocity to every soldier whose ever fought to protect this great country. His lack of maturity and respect for this country and our flag will without a doubt cost him in album sales," publicist Angie Meyer Olszewski told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. "This video has gone too far. Lil Wayne's actions are just plain dumb. What more can be said?"

Plenty more, according to the Twitterverse.

“That’s disrespectful to the extreme,” one tweeted on Monday, some called the multiple Grammy winner an “idiot” who should be “locked up,” and several others urged a “boycott” of this ‘ignorant POS.”

Media critic and author of the “Death of Free Speech," John Ziegler, said that as a free speech advocate, he supports the right to protest against America in this fashion, but also believes Americans offended by such acts should also express their free speech rights by not commercially supporting anything that Lil Wayne does.

“A boycott here would be perfectly appropriate," Ziegler said. "But unlikely to be effective because his fan base will not see any negative coverage of this act from the news sources they are likely to consume."

Others don’t see the performance as anything to be too upset about.

“Lil Wayne is an artist and a rock star. Musicians have been using the American flag in album art, photo shoots and music videos to stir up controversy and make a socio-political statements for decades now,” said entertainment reporter Jenn Hoffman. “This shouldn’t be a surprise or a big deal. It’s rock and roll.”
