POPSActivists Ambush Japanese Whaling Ship The activists claim to have saved the lives of hundreds of whales by harassing the annual hunt, which kills the animals using a loophole in an international moratorium which allows "lethal research".

POPSJapan may scale back Antarctic whaling Japan has said they are looking at corruption in the whaling industry. It seems that the activists who stole the whale meat, en route to a restaurant, has also shown the system to be lying. That they could turn a blind eye to the menus shows arrogance, or ignorance. Should we agree to the view that minke whales are the rabbits of the sea and can be killed for food, the Japanese will put them on the endangered list in no time flat.

POPSWars sending U.S. into ruin. Obama’s Afghan “surge” of 30,000 new troops will cost an additional $33 billion — more than Germany’s total defence budget. Military and intelligence spending relentlessly increase as unemployment heads over 10% and the economy bleeds red ink. America has become the Sick Man of the Western Hemisphere, an economic cripple like the defunct Ottoman Empire. The Pentagon now accounts for half of total world military spending. Add America’s rich NATO allies and Japan, and the figure reaches 75%. China and Russia combined spend only a paltry 10% of what the U.S. spends on defence. There are 750 U.S. military bases in 50 nations and 255,000 service members stationed abroad, 116,000 in Europe, nearly 100,000 in Japan and South Korea. Military spending gobbles up 19% of federal spending and at least 44% of tax revenues. During the Bush administration, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars — funded by borrowing — cost each American family more than $25,000.

POPSMedia Descends on Nashville for First National Tea Party Convention
the Republican Party for over a year. “After the 2008 elections, we’ve proclaimed them dead,” Andrea Murta of the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper said. “But the tea party has very strong appeal, a populist appeal, that my newspaper is interested in,” she said. Murta said her paper is especially interested in knowing, “who are the people that are behind this.” Other international media, Skoda said, are coming from Germany, Croatia and Japan. Organizers say the delegates “will be able to speak with reporters, be interviewed and be given a voice in a way that has not happened during the genesis of the Tea Party movement.” Organizers have also now arranged for 50 workstations and Wi-Fi for credentialed media and risers for cameramen. The convention, headlined by Palin on Saturday, has been criticized for its high ticket prices, which some say are keeping grassroots activists from attending. The convention " billed as a way to bring together loosely aligned group concerned ....

POPSA Trainspotter's Guide to the Future of the World Was I irritated that the Chinese, who plan to build a rail network of 18,000 kilometers by 2012, can legitimately claim that they have sprung to the fore in humanity’s train development, overtaking at one leap the super-speed trains of Japan and France and Germany? Certainly not. After all, the People’s Republic of China seems as purposeful in its planned development of railways, ports, new cities and nuclear-power plants as it is in its control of civil disobedience and obstruction of free expression

POPSDeficit Q & A David Walker is the Paul Revere of the federal budget, sounding the alarm about galloping deficits long before it was cool to talk about making revenues meet obligations. Q. Is there a point at which China could say, 'We've decided to stop lending you money?' A. What's more likely is that China will say, 'We're not going to lend you money unless you pay us higher interest rates.'"

POPSOnce again, let's give a big ol' "thank you" to George Bush for all he's done, all his "hard work"...
Yesterday the airwaves were abuzz re: the CEO of Goldman Sachs taking $100 million in bonuses and thumbing his nose at Obama in doing so. Other reports this week are confirming the sleight-of-hand and shadiness surrounding the TARP bailout of the banks: Specifically, that TARP money handed out by Paulson was not recorded, let alone accounted for or monitored; and therefore it cannot be traced or even determined whether it went to benefit American corporations, let alone Americans, and not foreign corporations or even private interests or parties. With these recent developments coming to light, along with the tea-baggers and Republicans continued blaming of Obama for everything from being born, daring to take the oath of office with unpresidential skin pigmentation, to daring to reverse the direction of the country from the cliff that Bush had so clearly left us heading for, it seems it's time to revisit those days of yore, those nostalgic last glimmerings of a time when we had a gover
