The novel introduced the concept of the "fog fact": published information that remains unnoticed by the public. This slim volume promises to gather various fog facts about George W. Bush's presidency, but offers much more opinion than fact—specifically, amazement that reporting on subjects like the allegations that Bush pulled strings to avoid going to Vietnam or committed insider trading while his father was president didn't cost him either the 2000 or 2004 election. Beinhart sees the media's failure to call more prominent attention to political lies as the source of many Americans' "delusional" worldview, which he says led to war in Iraq. But his explanation of the "Soft Machine"—the media-industrial complex he says distorts our perception of reality and is the "enforcement arm of capitalism" ""

In the first place, I become very angry and sick, first back in Taiwan when I read New York Times as a class assignment for the International Relations, angry at American suppost of Israeli "Nazism". Then I was horrified when the US had started massive bombing of N. Vietnam. Now at American agression of Iraq again with lies. My father had managed to have all his family and his children's families migrating to the USA. By the time I could feel comfortable to move back to Taiwan, my parents were getting very old, and my wife violated my request to her mother that we move back, first with the reason of helping her family to come to the States, applying for US citizenship. All my 3 children are born in the US, and I have lost opportunity to bring them back to Taiwan, to receive regular Taiwanese eduction as Taiwanese, regardless of whether they renounce US citizenship or not. That would be their rights. So I have been trapped in the US. During the Vietnam war, once I tried to move to Canada but gave up, alas. All I could do now is going back to Taiwan almost every year and stay there quite a long time. After my father passed on, my mother has mananged to start to repair our ancestral temple in our hometown, so we are going back to Taiwan soon. Once my parents had thought about application for citizenship here, but gave up. The so-called farce ROC passport is all I have now.

"Anti-Americanism" is an ambiguous _expression with two possible meanings. It can either mean "an opposition to America", period, or alternatively it can mean "an opposition to American-ISM" (i.e. a uniquely American rabid, rightwing version of Nationalism) There's no contradiction at all in loving China, but hating Mao, or liking American people.... but hating their currently dominant political faction. Germany and Japan (the two countries where you live) tend to be remembered mainly for attacking their neighbours and commiting attrocities against their civilian populations. Yet you seem to find no problem livingin either country.Not every German is a Nazi, not every Japanese wants to annexe Manchuria. One has to wonder about the agenda of someone who claims that opponents of the 21st century's most dangerous form of nationalism hates everyone from the country that spawned it. It's askin to claiming that being "anti-Nazi" is the same thing as "Anti-German". Ro. ""

It was precisely the kind of terrifying experience I have had described to me over and over again by Iraqis I have interviewed in the past two-and-a-half years. My wife, Zina, described it as like something out of a Hollywood action movie. It began at half past midnight on Saturday when explosives blew apart the three entrances to my house. We thought we had been caught in a bombing, but then a rifle sneaked round our bedroom door and shot a couple of bullets blindly; suddenly our room was filled with the wild sounds of US soldiers. My three-year-old daughter Sarah woke to this nightmare. She pushed herself on to me and shouted "Daddy, Americans! They will take you! No, no, not like this daddy ..." She tried to say something to one of the soldiers but her tears stopped her from speaking. Instead of blaming the soldier I could see she was blaming me. I tried to calm her down but as I did so the soldier threw me on to the ground and tied me. They then took me downstairs and made me sit in the living room while they smashed every piece of furniture we have. There were about 20 soldiers inside the house and several others on guard on the roof. A blue-eyed captain came to me holding my Handycam camcorder and questioned me aggressively: "Can you explain to me why you have this footage?" I explained. "These are for a film we are making for Channel 4 Dispatches. There is nothing sinister about it." ""

Near the end, a paragraph: "" In the most extensive scholarly inquiry into the jihadi phenomenon, Fawaz Gerges [ http://tinyurl.com/ad6ka http://tinyurl.com/9q4kw ] concludes that after 9/11, "the dominant response to Al Qaeda in the Muslim world was very hostile," specifically among the jihadis, who regarded it as a dangerous extremist fringe. Instead of recognizing that opposition to Al Qaeda offered Washington "the most effective way to drive a nail into its coffin" by finding "intelligent means to nourish and support the internal forces that were opposed to militant ideologies like the bin Laden network," he writes, the Bush administration did exactly what bin Laden hoped it would do: resort to violence, particularly in the invasion of Iraq. Al-Azhar in Egypt, the oldest institution of religious higher learning in the Islamic world, issued a fatwa, which gained strong support, advising "all Muslims in the world to make jihad against invading American forces" in a war that Bush had declared against Islam. A leading religious figure at al-Azhar, who had been "one of the first Muslim scholars to condemn Al Qaeda [and was] often criticized by ultraconservative clerics as a pro-Western reformer, ruled that efforts to stop the American invasion [of Iraq] are a `binding Islamic duty'." Investigations by Israeli and Saudi intelligence, supported by US strategic studies institutes, conclude that foreign fighters in Iraq, some 5-10% of the insurgents, were mobilized by the invasion, and had no previous record of association with terrorist groups. The achievements of Bush administration planners in inspiring Islamic radicalism and terror, and joining Osama in creating a "clash of civilizations," are quite impressive. ""

Taiwan had already tested three prototype cruise missiles with a range of 600 miles -- capable of reaching Shanghai to the north and Hong Kong to the south -- and that it had ambitious plans to eventually manufacture and deploy 500 of them against the southern Chinese mainland. Japan, Australia and Taiwan are all led by nationalist, free market, conservative governments fearful of North Korea and/or China. All of them are extremely wealthy, high-technology nations. the ever-growing ties between Taiwan and the United States in BMD cooperation and the readiness of little Taiwan to embark upon a ballistic and cruise missile arms race with gigantic nearby China looks set to keep China and the United States, the two towering giants of the Pacific Rim at loggerheads for many years to come, their BMD arms race via Taiwan makes such a clash ever more likely.

"" #0: "Hung Men Society holds ceremony to honor new leaders": http://tinyurl.com/d3w2y "" According to Huang Chao-sheng (黃照勝), society secretary general, there are approximately 30,000 members in Taiwan and tens of thousands more across the globe. Like the Green Gang, another well-known secret society, the Chinese Hung Men Society was involved in Sun's efforts to subvert the Qing dynasty at the turn of the century and was later involved in Chiang Kai-shek's (蔣介石) struggle from the 1920s. "And after the nationalists came to Taiwan, Hung Men members continued to contribute and support the government's work in developing Taiwan," Huang said. According to a society magazine published last December, many high-profile politicians act as advisers to the group. These figures include former New Party lawmaker Elmer Fung (馮滬祥), PFP legislators Lee Ching-an (李慶安), Chou Hsi-wei (周錫瑋), and Lin Yu-fang (林郁芳) and KMT legislators Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱), Huang Chao-shun (黃昭順), Chu Fong-chi (朱鳳芝), Apollo Chen (陳學聖), Chin Huei-chu (秦慧珠), Mu Min-chu (穆閩珠) and James Chen (陳健治).

On that day, 50 years ago in 1947, an incident took place in Taipei, which led to the massive slaughter of thousands of Taiwanese at the hands of Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese troops. The event was the beginning of 40 years of repressive martial law on the island, during which Chiang's Kuomintang mainlanders ruled the Taiwanese with iron fist. "" #02: "Kang Ding class: Republic of China (Taiwan)": http://tinyurl.com/8bmhp "" As the Republic of China (Taiwan)'s defensive stance is aimed towards the Taiwan strait the Republic of China Navy is constantly seeking to upgrade its anti-submarine warfare capabilites. The agreement with France in the late 1980s is an example of this procurement strategy, the six ships are configured for both ASW and surface attack. The Exocet is replaced by a Taiwanese surface attack missile and the AAW weapon is the Chaparral. Some problems have been reported regarding integrating Taiwanese and French systems. In addition, the antiquated Chaparral SAM system is considered totally inadequate for even rudimentary self-defence. Coupled with various other issues, the Taiwanese La Fayettes are definitely the least capable variant of the class currently in operation. The Taiwan frigate deal has produced a large political scandal, both in Taiwan and France. A former French foreign minister has claimed that up to $500,000 was paid by Thomson-CSF (now Thales), the prime contractor, as a "sweetener" as the ships did not strictly meet Taiwan's requirements. Eight deaths of people involved in the contract have also been questioned as suspicous. Six ROC naval officers have been indicted on corruption charges relating to the affair.

Secret societies were organized both on the island and in the mainland. The Hung Men Society established by Ch'en Yung-hua was most famous and active, attracting hundreds of thousands of Ming loyalists under its flag and instigated innumerable uprisings, first in Taiwan and then in the southeast coast of the mainland, during the following 200 years of the Ch'ing dynasty rule in China.

Martin argues that the Green Gang, the most powerful secret society in China during the first half of the twentieth century, was a resilient social organization that adapted successfully to the complex environment of a modernizing urban society. Illustrating its multilayered and complex relations with the bourgeoisie, the industrial proletariat, and the foreign and domestic political authorities, Martin demonstrates how these factors led to the Green Gang's absorption into the corporate state system after 1932. "" "" Very detailed and interesting, August 5, 2005: Reviewer: Saldinger: ... ... traces the origins of the Gang back to the Chinese professional trade federations and secret societies of old China and presents in detail its rise and criminal activities at its peak period, between the enforcement of the opium ban in 1919, until the Japanese invasion in 1937. Brian Martin, presented as a « Senior China Analyst for the Australian Government » ... ... revolves around opium lord Du Yuesheng but this book still gives a comprehensive picture of the whole gallery of green gang bosses. The relationship between the gang and French authorities in Shanghai is well-documented, as well as the shift of the gang's activities from the French concession to the kuomintang spheres in the early thirties.
