Apple Daily translated:China Diaoyu island-Japanese Senkaku island Riots
Interesting that in all of this, no one talked about America and Japan’s intention to increase military in the region as part of arms deal allegedly against North Korea. Nor has CCP-run Mainland China discussed the many rioters inside China against its own governmental policies, including Hunger Strikes in Hong kong against Communist Patriotic Lessons, Monk setting themselves on fire in Tibet to protest harsh and inhumane treatements, Peasant workers protesting because their attempt to create unions were crushed violently often with disappearances/murders of any leaders.
Global: Executive Director of Oxfam’s eco message ! (reblog)

The Venus Project & The Zeitgeist Movement: Dare I say it? Ying & Yang.
Of course, I am not the same kind of visionary as Jacque or Roxanne because I do not have their kind of millions of followers, so it would not be appropriate for me to even try to guess what happened. But it made me sad when I read about their split because as a micro-cosm of the whole of the Human race, many of us have “been there” before on many different levels.
