Chinese hold anti-Japan protests over boat incident on sensitive political anniversary
Beijing -   Beijing (AP) — Protesters in several cities across China marked a politically sensitive anniversary Saturday with anti-Japan chants and banners, as authorities tried to stop anger over a diplomatic spat between the Asian giants from getting out of control.

Chinese protest against Japan is small but heated
Reporting from Beijing — Dozens of Chinese demonstrators rallied outside the Japanese Embassy, then marched through the rain-slicked streets to the Foreign Ministry on Saturday, belting out the National Anthem and hollering nationalistic slogans against "foreigners" and the Japanese to Protest the detention of a Chinese fishing crew. A demonstration of any kind is rare in this tightly controlled nation, and Saturday's Protest was a deliberately understated affair. The marchers were...

Corporate America - The Enemy Within
During World War II (1941-1942) President Franklin D. Roosevelt (by either Executive Order, or an wink and a nod) approved 99 American pilots to be discharged from the U.S. armed services to volunteer as "Mercenaries" to fight for the Chinese. America provided these fighter pilots with Curtiss P-40 fighter airplanes and the squad (AVG) was known as the "Flying Tigers." The Aircraft were painted with a large shark face on the front. This group of volunteers had been created to help defend China...

Lack of insane attacks on Obama shows WH “learned its lesson”
Around this time last year, President Obama sent a message to America’s schoolchildren: Stay in school. Work hard. Learn. Because the Right-wing media is full of crazy people, deeply dishonest frauds who would do anything to destroy Democrats, and those who are both crazy and dishonest, Obama’s innocuous message was greeted with an avalanche of looney-tunes claims that Obama was emulating Chairman Mao .  This year, President Obama delivered another back-to-school address to...

Bravo as bidder buys a Berlin icon
A MYSTERY telephone bidder bought a piece of history in the form of "Checkpoint Bravo" - once one of the busiest crossing points between East and West Berlin - in an auction yesterday. The sole bidder secured the site - which includes a derelict bridge and a crumbling cafe covered in graffiti, for 37,000 - the minimum asking price.

From the Pen of David Horowitz, September 18, 2010
Samuel Johnson’s famous scoundrel who finds a last refuge in patriotic fervor has a counterpart in radicals like DeGenova and Foner who cloak their revolutionary agendas in the flag and values they intend to subvert. A generation of American Communists, Paul Robeson among them, rationalized their disloyalty to America (and loyalty to the Soviet Union) as a higher commitment to socialism which would one day transform America itself. By defending Soviet Communism , they were in...

Sweden's welfare state at heart of final election debate
The future of Sweden's famous Welfare State was a central theme when the country's main political Party chiefs met late Friday for a final televised election debate.

Tiananmen Square Hypothetical, by Bryan Caplan
Suppose the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests ended not in a bloodbath, but in the collapse of Chinese Communism and the establishment of multi-party Democracy.  What would have happened to the Chinese Economy between 1989 and today?  Would it have done better, worse, or about the same? Fans of Democracy will probably insist that Chinese Growth would have been even higher. Censorship and fear make it hard for China to fully integrate with the world marketplace.  And Democracy...

Kerplunk - Common sense from Down Under
Being a major piece of work doesn't make it right, though. Marx was an intelligent man but still manage to bring to life The Communist Manifesto, which brought so much suffering to, especially, people in the 20th century. Like Tolkein, Marx and Keynes invented their own reality and then proceeded to solve all of the problems within it. However, Keynes's reputation suffered a severe blow in the 1970s when major economies around the world went through a period of Stagflation - the combination of...

Traffic in China fuels quest for road civility
Beijing — For the past month, the people of China, long used to Communist campaigns that stretched from the radical to the ridiculous, have been given another task by Party Central. "Be a civilized, polite Chinese" runs the latest slogan, spread online by government websites and splashed onto giant electronic signs above major highways. The nation's road network, often chaotic, always dangerous and ever more crowded, forms one of the new campaign's six targets. "Civilized driving,...

The World According to Castro
In recent interviews with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, the titular leader of Cuba’s Communist Party appears not only to have all his wits about him but to be intent on teaching political lessons to various national leaders. Among Castro’s intended pupils are his brother Raul Castro, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, and President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela. The aged revolutionary seems to be admonishing this select audience of autocrats that they need to change...

Author takes on China's premier, aware that free speech has a cost
Beijing — Yu Jie has picked a fight with the Communist Party of China, and if state security forces haul him away in the dark of night, there will be no one to stop them. It's a risk Yu took knowingly when he wrote a book published this month that slammed the country's Prime Minister as an "actor" shilling for an authoritarian government. His challenge is a rarity in a nation noted for its rough treatment of Dissidents, and is made all the more remarkable by the fact...
