May 30, 2009. Pakistan and Afghanistan?

The female entrepreneur Linda Resnik was on CR Show talks about sharing her successful story in the business world.

She is saying all the right words such as care about your employees, something must have intrinsic value in order to sell in the market, the company must care about environment, etc.

I have no [...]

May 29, 2009. Meltdwon again?

Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell are teaming up on spinning a version that blaming government regulation as the root cause of current finance meltdown. This is the right wing blaming government perspective. This is nothing new to me. In the same group, there is another spin doctor who blames the Fed for all the ill [...]

Entry for May 28, 2009

Cybersecurity Czar is wanted. The perception underlying this is more power to the government agency. It is the only way to get anything done in a democracy, is it? All the rhetoric of democracy and efficiency of getting thing done seem to contradict to each other.

Larry Summers wants his organization- National Economic council, “to have [...]

May 27, 2009. Hypocrisy and war?

May 26, morning’s session of viewing on Movieplex about the story of “capturing” enigma coding machine of German Navy during WWII connects me to the special series on WWII about Stalin and Nazi.

The people of Germany and Russia would be told the same thing that the commander of the US commando would say [...]

May 25, 2009. Human nature and consequence?

Watching the Joseph Kennedy biography on American Experience program leads me to the conclusion that JFK is not much different from W Bush in term of it foreign policy disaster at the beginning of their time in office. The analysis in the program reflected in the narrative in a very subtle way indicates that JKF [...]

May 24, 2009. Robert Kennedy?

The viewing of the Kennedy fiasco on Bay of Pig leads to the distrust of the president of CIA and military intelligent agency. This is the same crap all over again during the Iraq invasion of the Bush Administration. The forming of a new agency to oversee all branch of intelligent gathering agency of government [...]

May 24, 2009. Michael Hudson?

Michael Hudson writings seem to be more interesting than the writings of Paul Craig Roberts lately. Roberts seems to run out of steam and starts focus on political issue such as POW torture and taxation of Barack Obama.

There is not much talk about the health care and social security reform. From Michael Hudson perspective, [...]

May 23, 2009. IBM and holocaust?

The plight of the Jews during the holocaust is another example of the fact that politic and morality do not mix. The author Edwin Black that the politicians and the president back then FDR were influenced by the big business involvement in helping the Nazi further its cause of European domination. This is an aspect [...]

May 23, 2009. Morality and Kennedy?

Kennedy family history is subject of a PBS show. I learned a few things from the program. It turns out the father of the clan is a successful and powerful business man that made his fortune from illegal alcohol during the prohibition period.

There program does not explain why the Fed is not getting him for [...]

May 20, 2009. HDTV is around the corner?

What was happened over the weekend is mundane. I had purchased a Dynex HDTV for the apartment. So we could have two TVs to watch. When I had the TV hooked up to the cable, Vola, there are 130 channels show up on the screen.

This is a surprise. There are only a few HD on [...]

May 17, 2009. Morality and reality?

Morality and the science, what I have in mind is the evolution theory, do not mix as water with oil.

This is what I have neglected to think about for so long. This is a strange relationship between so-called another value system such as “free market” and “democracy” and “morality”.

Some would equate [...]

May 16, 2009. More pop physics?

The Roger Penrose book “road to reality” is getting easier at the end of the books. There is hardly any math in chapters toward the end of the book.

The chapter 18 is full of math concepts. Chapter 20 on Quantum mechanics is full of wave function, its solution, its representation in the special relativity setting. [...]

May 15, 2009. Labor VS Ceo?

Last night, the interview with Andy Stearns on CR Show is simply an effort of Bloomberg News to survey the opinion of different quarter of the society toward Obama Administration.

What I find interesting and rarely come across in mainstream media is the repudiation of this man who is the president of the International Service [...]

May 13, 2009. Maya code cracking?

The re-watching of “Cracking the Maya code” leads me to change my view about this program from NOVA. This must be a respond to the viewers’ criticism of the nature of the program that is bias and slant against the nature of the Maya culture.

The civilization flourishes over 2000 years in city such as [...]

May 12, 2009. Morality and Misc?

The trip to VA Beach

This is a one and half hour drive as people said. But the city of this region has lousy street as other city of Virginia. The state has no fund to upkeep the streets for some reasons. The cost of living is high in these tourist areas of the [...]

May 09, 2009. Finance system reforms red herring?

Richard Durbin is the Senator that initiates a new program to release the foreclosure home owners from the pressure to have their homes repossessed. He senator says there are full of such provisions and options for the second home and condo owners that are much financial well off. This is a double standard on [...]

May 09, 2009. Weekend viewing?

PDANet is not as good as I thought. It is partially because of the characteristic of this Ad-hoc technology of connection. Other than that it is connecting quiet good for a while then stop connecting after a certain period. I wonder if there is another replacement technology of this.

Edward Murrow is the one that [...]

May 08, 2009. Reform of the current finance system?

Tim Geithner was on CR Show night before last night. Then last night Neel Kashkari was on the program, Kashkari was the under secretary of Department of Treasury. He is head of the TARP fund management committee.

Evasive is the characterization of their talks. This is because they would not want to reveal too much [...]

May 07, 2009. Myan code cracking and Stem cell?

The program on Times magazine cover issue on stem cells research are good introductory but all hype about the benefit of stem cells research based on Embryonic stem cells not adult stem cells.

I found the answer for the reason why medical researchers keep insisting using embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells for research. [...]

May 04, 2009. Weekend Musing?

Mark Bauerlein’s “The dumbest Generation”, is all about the current hype of digital virtual social network as a way of future for the business world to push its products. This is actually another tool to dump down the young people that constantly hang out in this area at the cost of neglecting all other needs [...]

May 04, 2009. Free Trade Myth again?

A question why the banks have the ability, legal right to create money out of thin air, they would still speculate in derivative market and finally demand more from Uncle Sam?

There is a missing link somewhere in the power of the banks to create money and the Power of the government. Ellen Brown (author [...]

May 03, 2009. Lord of finance (Ahamed) ?

Liaquat Ahamed is the name of the author of “Lord of Finance”. This is a historical account of what was going in the time leading to the 30s Great Depression for the world. This is an historical event that the system tries to forget and even distorts to suit one political persuasion

The problem with this [...]

May 01, 2009. Ramo and international relation?

Talking about the G-2 in foreign policy magazine and reading this in Asian Time online poke my interest of the subject matter. It turns out this is an idea promoted by Henry Kissinger and ZBignew Brzezinski. Elizabeth C Economy and Adam Segal of Council of Foreign Relation have a piece on the magazine commenting on [...]

May 01, 2009. Ramo and Swine flu connection?

It’s unbelievable that streaming broadcast via Iphone would stop the rest of the Internet connection on the web browser at all. It is so much for the 3G technology of wireless mobile phone.

Swine flu has been looked at by many writers on the web from different perspective such as globalization, Wall Street, scientific, [...]

April 30, 2009. 100 day of Obama admin?

Well, tonight I found an article on www.freerepublic.com./focus/f-news/582763/post via
Google search on presidents before George Washington. It turns out that these are the administrators of the Continental Congress which was designed by the Article of Confederation.

April 29, 2009. Swine flu and The Prince?

The Swine flu epidemic really as the spin wiped up by the media really originated from Mexico? The panel of specialist on Charles Rose had a different view of this. The lady from council of foreign relation said that last September, Texas first reported two case of Swine flu. The same virus H1N5 that the [...]

April 28, 2009. Cherokee nation?

The viewing of American Experience program on the demise of Cherokee as a nation and people was so outrageous. This leads to the observation that rule of the human evolution is always dog eat dog. The Nazi Germany of the WWII, the 30 year religion war of the West, the British Empire of the [...]

April 27, 2009. Hot spring day in Richmond?

I come to downtown Richmond to check out the VCU Medical College Center which is a hospital associated with the Virginia Commonwealth University. This is a teaching hospital for the poor in the state and for the city of Richmond.

This is a university that gets little attention and funding from the US government. [...]

April 26, 2009. Is Ramo another spin doctor?

“The age of unthinkable” by Joshua Cooper Ramo is very interesting and very board in nature. This is the kind of book that requires readers to make their own connections with this general observation.

Ramo is the managing editor of the Henry Kissinger associate based in Beijing China. He used to be the foreign correspondent of [...]
