The Catholic church has been accused of causing added trauma to a survivor after it tried to thwart his case involving a notorious jailed paedophile priest by claiming he could not have been an altar boy because he was baptised in the Anglican church, a move that delayed the case for a year.

The accusation adds to a litany of complaints about the legal tactics being employed by the church in abuse cases, including its repeated attempts to permanently halt cases where paedophile clergy have died, a practice first revealed…

Will the Grand Justice Become, an Official for How the Party in Power Explains the Constitution?

Of course, these, heads of justice department are going to become, “pocketed” by the DDP, and became, nothing more than, a subsidiary of the, political party, as that’s Tsai’s plans, all alone, in proposing the “justice reforms” that she’d, enforced into, law!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

With the High Similarities in Beliefs, Similar Ideologies, What Sort of Political Calculations are the DDP, Making?

The four grand justices nominated by the former president, Ma, their terms are expiring on September 30^th this year, yesterday, the president, Tsai nominated Yo and three others onto the bench, and once all of them passed the votes by the legislation, all fifteen justices would be, nominated by Tsai alone.  Of the nominees, Yo showed color preferential toward the matter of doing away with the death penalty, Chen had demanded the voting processes to be repeated, as Kuan was voted as the president of N.T.U., Chu’s husband is the head of district attorney’s offices, representing the various sects of the law: district attorney, academics, and attorneys at law.  Of the nominees, Yo stated publicly, that “death sentence” is a tool for oppression; being against the death penalty is for the sake of ones’ own life; and stated that nobody has the right, to take the life of, another, that as the “number increased”, that still does not give you the power to take the life of someone, away; that death penalty is similar to any act of, violence.

More than eighty-percent of the public are for death penalty, taking that off the tables, it’s the “minority getting loud in voice volume”, but recently, the grand justices explained, that the constitutional courts would rule in favor of “protecting civil human rights”.

And so, you can see, how the justice department became, the GUNMAN of the, DDP, doing what it was told, (good boy, now SIT!), because, all the highest court justices are now, DDP-affiliated, and that means, Tsai gets, absolute, POWER over how the law can get twisted in her party’s, favors, and there’s nothing we the people CAN do, about it!

The Rich Businessman Bribed the Judge, and the Money Didn’t Get to the Judge, the Attorney Suspected of Fraud, Out on Bail

Underhanded dealings in the law “department” here, and you still got, caught!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

The wealthy businessman, Cheng awhile ago, turned himself in to the Investigative Bureau, stated that during the 2019 case of Taiwan Golden Bridge Electronics Company, he’d bribed the former high court justice, the attorney, Kao, using the amount of a million dollars N.T. plus a gem stone worth a million dollars to bribe the judge of the case, Lin, and he’d, still, lost out.  The Taipei D.A.’s Office started investigating, searched and interrogated Kao, and called the attorney who no longer practiced law but had been on the case, Lin, and two others to testify, and after the interrogations, Kao was charged with fraud, and the bail of $100,000N.T.s set.

More than a decade ago, Cheng asked the Golden Bridge Electronics Company to purchase the workstations with the FCC of the U.S. certified plasma screens and CPU, and sold it to Thailand, and yet, there were, more than 7,000 workstations, and more than 60,000 CPUs that simultaneously combusted, causing Cheng to pay over hundreds of millions of dollars to the consumers of Thailand.

Cheng started suspecting that the screens and CPU that Golden Bridge sold him wasn’t certified by the F.C.C., that it’s flawed, and so, he’d sued four, including the C.E.O. of the Golden Bridge, for fraud and falsification of certification, and filed a civil claims of over a hundred million dollars.  And, Cheng had filed for the certification of the former Secretary of State, Clinton’s official documentations, proving that the product did NOT pass the security checks of the F.C.C., but, as the case had been tried, the courts didn’t find the document to be valid, and he’d lost, all the way.

court officials, paid, under the tables!

For this, in 2019, Kao in the second retrial of the Intelligence Property Courts, claimed to Cheng that he was the former judge, Lin’s assistance, that he can help him sort through the matters.  And so, Cheng provided millions of dollars N.T., plus the precious gems to Kao, hoping that Lin doesn’t get swayed, or bribed; of the cash, it was the before payment to Lin, while the precious gems are for Kao’s helping to sort through things to make things go smoothly for him.  But Cheng had lost the case, and, felt that the verdict wasn’t in his favor, and turned himself in to the D.A.’s office.

Based off of understanding, Kao was suspected of not fulfilling his end, to bribe Lin, and took the million dollars N.T. in bribe and the precious gems for himself, and was charged with fraud.

See, this is what’s wrong with business, you think that if you got the money, you can, sway the systems, and because there are, the corrupt government officials in the judiciary systems, that’s why, this SHIT had occurred, but you’d gotten caught, and those court officials who’d received and accepted the bribes, all fall down, and this is only that first domino which will go down, as more corruptions comes out to the, surfaces I’m sure!

Long Swim at Ludao

The experiences that made you appreciate the beauties of nature more, which hopefully, will drive you to protect it more!  Translated…

It was 2018, I’d, given my virginity of the first long swim in the oceans to, Ludao, it was also the very first time, I went swimming with, a thousand of my, fellow swimmers, to enjoy the beauties of, the, oceans.

For many year, the fellow companion swimmers would ask me to take the long swim in the oceans, and I’d always found an assortment of reasons to turn them down, “Going swimming in Waimu Mountain?  Nah, too many, jellyfishes!”, “Swimming in Wushi Harbor?  The waves are too huge, I can’t manage!”, “over the seas in Kinmen?  But it’s, too, unromantic, how black the sands on the beaches there are”.  “In Penghu, the currents are too strong, I don’t know if I can………”

the events at Ludao, photo from online

“Ludao long swim………”, toward this, location of many beautiful things to see, what excuses can I, have?  I’d gone with close to a thousand of ocean loving fellow swimmers, followed the beautiful female coach to warm up, then, entered into the just right temperature water, gotten rid of the buoy that’s holding me back, swam, toward the, oceans.

This was, a colorful, gathering of friends who loved swimming, there were the colorful swimmers in their swimsuits over the oceans, with the visitors who’d put on the snorkeling gears for show, the parents-children teams as well.  Other than those whom I knew around me, and those whom I don’t, there are, the schools of fishes that are, keeping things active, the coral reefs, while the professional divers kept waving at me, to make sure I was, okay.

This was, a gathering of friends in joy, that you wouldn’t want to get too far off into the oceans on your own of, a grand gathering that keeps you locked up in beauty, that you forget how tired your legs and arms are from kicking and paddling, a lesson of nature, that teaches us to cherish it even more, once you’d, experienced it all.

And so, this is a way, to get closer to what we’re, protecting, to see the beauties that the oceans have to give to us, which will in turn, drive us to protect it more, to reduce the pollutions, because we want what we’d encountered in this swim to be here, for as long as it’s able to, last.

The Statistics, Underreported by the Local Governments, the Local Governments Pressured the Schools, Some of the Schools Chose to Not Report, Not Reporting, Can’t Save the Unknown Numbers of Dropout Students

And, by “covering up” the numbers, it doesn’t do a thing, to help get these dropouts back into the schools, to continue their, education!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Based off of the statistics of the Department of Education, there’s the continual drop in numbers of middle school dropouts, by 2021, it’d, reached to, an all-time low, of the 1,943 who’d dropped out, ninety-percent came back in.  But, there were the underreported numbers from these, stats, the instructors in the classrooms retold, that the local governments, in order to lessen the pressures, they’d, pressured the local schools, to underreport on the numbers, and some schools are also, passive, lost out on the timing to help these students who’d, dropped, out.

“Not reporting, the resources needed can’t come in, there’s nothing we can do”, the counselor of a school sated, that the resources outside the schools, such as the psychotherapists for the students, the social workers, all needed to be reported to start intervening, but the school, in order to dodge the three-day period of students who became truant, they would suggest that the students come to school for one period of class, or that they are required to show up once every two half days, and disregarded the students’ learning processes.

The dropouts of the technical high schools also didn’t get the counseling support that they were all in need of, the students, in being treated with the indifferences by the officials, selected to exit the schools.

“The schools are too passive, the families can, but don’t, causing these children to lack the needed resources that they required”, Chu told, that although in the high school years, there’s no enforcing the students to come to school like back in the elementary, middle school years, but if the schools don’t even report on the dropout students at all, and the families aren’t normal, there’s no way for the resources of social services to come in to assist.

The principal, Hsu of Gangshan Middle School told, that in the past, the dropout students had, wandered outside the schools, that there’s the teams of youth squad to help get them back in, but now, a lot of the students who refused to attend school are staying at home, he’d suggested, that other than the police being involved, there’s the need for the psychological counseling, to have a more secure, safety net set up by the schools locally.

And so, despite how the measures are being taken, these dropouts just, can’t get caught, and placed back into school, and, this will become a huge problem, because, most of these dropout students, they’re going to run with the bad crowds, and, bad influences are going to cause them to go down the wrong paths in life, and, once they go down the path, there’s, no turning back for them, and, the pressures from the local governments to get the numbers down low, does not help, at all!

The Long-Term Care Tragedy Strikes Again, the Man in His Fifties Cared for His Mother in Her Eighties, Both Found Dead

Another tragedy, from the long-term care “division” here, and this still keeps on happening!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Neighbors Smelled Something Rancid, as the Police Broke Down the Door, the Bodies Had Already Rotted, the Family Was NOT Listed as High-Risk, the City Councilperson: the Social Welfare Policies Should Get Reevaluated Again

The fifty-five-year-old Wang took care of his own eighty-two year-old bedridden mother on his own long term, yesterday, both were found dead, in their old residential three-story mansion home in Shuling District, Hsinbei City, the bodies were both, rotted already.  Based off of the preliminary reports of the police, Wang committed suicide, while his mother died of illness, and who died first, and the causes of death is still, pending autopsy.

The district manager, Lin told, that Wang is the eldest son, had been caring for his long-term bedridden mother on his own, Wang’s younger brother lives close by, is the sole economic provider of the family, the younger brother originally wanted to place their mother in a home, but Wang refused, insisted on caring for her himself, and yet, both died.

The local police investigated, that Wang’s family wasn’t listed as high concern to the social services, there were NO records of seeking out help, the mother-son pair lived in the three-story home; Wang’s mother is elderly, had a stroke before, with the progressive conditions, was long time bedridden, immobilized, with Wang shouldering the care all on his own.

At around two in the afternoon, the neighbors called that they smelled rotten corpse, the fire department and the police came, broke down the door, found Wang’s mother dead on the bed of the first floor bedroom, the son dead in the bedroom on the third, both had died some time, because of the weather being too hot, the bodies already rotted out, there was no note.

At the preliminary investigations of the scene, there was no outside forces, the police suspected that Wang committed suicide, his mother died of illness, but, who died first, is still pending autopsy.

The Hsinbei Social Services stated, that the man in charge of the local borough already rushed over to take care of the funeral for the families.

The city councilwoman, Liao told, that the government should reexamine the social welfare policies, to set up a looser evaluation for filing for government assistance in long-term care means, so the social security network can be set properly, through the aging club, the dine-together, and the long-term care locations, to keep tabs on the elderly’s situations; for the long-term bedridden elderly, the city government should send people to their homes to schedule the visits to see if they’re all right.

And so, despite how the system is set up (not to mention, running already!), this SHIT still keeps on, recurring, because these are the people who can’t ask for help, and, the city government just doesn’t have the eyes, the minds, to keep tabs on everybody in the city who’s in need of the assistance, and, relying on the local boroughs, that’s not going to work, because, it’s one to, how many households again per district?  Exactly, so this is why this keeps on happening, and the city council is blaming it on the city in sum!  But it still isn’t the city’s fault…

The Love for Their Adopted Child

Love is, thicker than, blood, that is, what this story of how this family was “made” possible, showed…translated…

A lot of couples who longed to become parents, but couldn’t, due to, infertility, and although, they can’t have children who shared their blood, they may well be, having the love of children to them.

My older female cousin and her husband kept longing for children, but, five years after they were wed, no news, they’d worried that they’re, past the period of being fertile enough to carry, went to the hospital to get examined, and started their infertility treatments.  They’d tried everything, in vitro, getting their systems healthy enough by traditional Chinese medicine treatment means, asking the goddess to bless them with a child, drinking the herbal remedies, everything, but, there was, no end in sight.

And, no matter how hard they’d tried, things just, didn’t go as they wanted, and, they’d gotten caught up between becoming expectant, losing hope, they’d spun around for decades on end on this, and, what they’d weathered through, only those who’d gone through the same issues can, understand.

On the year my older cousin turned fifty, after discussing the matter with her husband, they were, prepared to become, parents then, decided to adopt.  After the grueling procedurals, they welcomed Kai, who’s not related to them by blood, into, the family.

The young life of only six-months old came into their lives, the midlife first-time mother was quite busy, my older cousin quit her job to stay at home with her adopted son, and, she’d now found a brand new focus in her life, and became, more energetic.  With a child, everything’s set, with the joys and settledness of being parents, they’d hoped to give the young boy a warm home.

In the adopted family, the most difficult is the matter of telling the adopted children where they came from, the fears, the worries that came with the questions, some families chose to not disclose for the children’s lives, some families, were open about the matter.  Time flew, Kai is older, and, my cousin decided that as her son was in high school, is more matured psychologically, to tell him the truth, in case one day, as he’d discovered that he’d been adopted on his own, the shock may hit him, too, hard.

Recalled that day, as my cousin invited her father and my mother to their home to eat, Kai sensed something in the air, he saw how uneasy we all, were, and as my cousin took Kai’s hand in hers, and announced that they have something to tell him, he’d started first, “mom, dad, I know what you were worried about, a year ago, I saw in the household registry by accident, I already knew that I was, adopted, thank you for giving me all your love, I love you guys!”.  The worries were gone, instantly, my cousin and her husband cried as they’d hugged Kai, “Thank you for becoming our son!”  this was a love, that runs, deeper than, blood.

the thing that this family shared: Love! Photo from online

The experts had suggested, “the children can ask the adults what they wanted to know, then, based off of the child’s individual level of understanding, maturity, then, honestly, hold that conversation, to show the brighter side to adoption”.  Adoption should NOT be a tabooed secret, giving the child double the love, that’s, even more, important.

There’s the news of how there are close to eight hundred children waiting for a home in Taiwan, and, adopting the children slowly became a trend here, and it takes patience for the couples who can’t have children to adopt, the process is quite long, it took my cousin and her family, a total of TWO whole years, to formally, registered Kai into their family, my cousin laughed and told me, “it’s longer than the ten months of, pregnancy!”

So, this is, one alternative way that you can have children, by adoption, and, this is quite important, because by adopting the children, you are not just relating to them in parent and children form, but also, in love, and, there are so many children who are in need of better homes in the world, and if you can’t have children, then, you might consider adopting, after all, love will always be thicker than, blood!

The Experts: the Hospitals, Too Passive, Allowing the Violence to Happen More Prevalently

The trends, of this, abuser/enabler, interaction style, making this work environment, even that much more, dangerous, for the, professionals who work there, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The More Prevalent Forms of Abuse is Verbal, and Everyone Looked the Other Way, with the Occupational Safety Committee, Not Functioning the Way it’s Supposed to

Based off of the researches, sixty-percent of the medical professionals had bore witness or encountered violence at their workplace.  Of the medical violences encountered, most were verbal, and the causes of these verbal abuses included the miscommunications between the medical staff and the patients, the shortcomings in observations of what the medical professionals perceived as needed by the, patients.  The experts believed, that the rises in these incidents, has to do with how the hospital tried “silencing” the victims of these abuses, when the workers were abused, the hospitals hoped that they would just, take it in, to apologize to the patients and families, and, the number of cases that’s been documented, may only be, a tip of the, iceberg.

The C.E.O. of the Medical Reform Commissions, Lin told, that the commissions reviewed over past researches, and found, that the locations where violence are occurring most prevalently are in the E.R., the psych wards, and in the waiting areas, and mostly were from the anxieties of the families, hoping that their loved ones can be checked immediately, causing the loss on emotional control; while in the psych wards, it may be due to the psychiatric illnesses that’s caused the violences.

The assistant director of Changwha Christian Hospital, Chou stated, that the violence in the E.R. are most prevalently due to drunken disorderly conduct, then, it’s the mentally ill patients, third, as the expectations of the treatments fell short of the patients’ expectations, fourth, waiting too long, losing emotional control due to anxiousness of requiring treatment.

Compared to the medical doctors, the nursing staff are more easily attacked, as the patients mistreated the nursing staff members like they were the maids, and when a demand was made, and the nurses didn’t respond, they get, cussed out.

The C.E.O. of the Taiwan Nursing Physicians Guild, Chen stated, that as the patients go into the hospitals, they’d hoped to be in and out shortly, and the hospitals normally carried the stance of “customers are king”, which spoiled the patients, to believing that they can get physical, and use verbal insults toward the medical staff members when things don’t go their, ways.  And, most hospitals, only wanted these incidents to go away, with no means for the workers in the medical realm to file their complaints.

Chen said, that the various hospitals needed to set up the occupational security committees, but, there were, rarely any that’s been, set up, to the point that when the medical professionals don’t even know if such a committee, actually, exists in the hospitals where they worked, and normally, this would be brought up, when the violence occurred, and got reported on the news, and the hospitals where these incidents occur would run the drills, to settle the society down, and nothing was done afterwards, to prevent the recurrences of these incidents.  The hospitals all swore on their “zero tolerance policy for medical violence”, but nothing had been, implemented, or done, to prevent these acts of violence against the medical, professionals.

trying to help, but getting, ATTACKED! Photo from online

And so, this is a high-intensity, high-tension work environment, where everybody can CRACK, at any time, especially when you’d been waiting in the E.R. forever, and, everybody around is, busying, taking care of others who are also in need of medical care, and you are bound to, lose it, and take your angers out on the medical staff members, when it’s not even, their, faults, they’re, already, very busy, doing EVERYTHING they can, to ensure that we all get the help that we needed!

The Democratic Genes of the Party that Took Power

And the DDP, holds the democratic genes of the country then???  Give ME a break, just take a look at WHAT the DDP took away from we the people, forcing us to swallow down the pork with ractopamine, totally DISREGARDING the votes of the people, to restart nuclear four, to ban the imports of nuclear contaminated produces from Japan, etc., etc., etc., and they call themselves, DEMOCRATIC???  Yeah, right!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

A few days back the DDP’s chair, Lai openly stated, “the DNA of democracy is NOT in the KMT!”, I’m truly curious, that how Dr. Lai tested the DNA of the political party that’s, been around for a hundred years in history?  Recalled how at the start of the year, the former ambassador, Chang gave a book to me as a present on the coming about of the Chinese political parties, along with the histories of the political parties of Germany as the country became more, democratic, the studies of DNA, it surely, should NOT get, overlooked.

the EMPRESS, Tsai! the dictator, elected by popular votes! Found online

From the external performance of the political party that’s currently ruling, it’s, a necessity, that we tested, the DNA of democracy, as KMT managed to unify the country from close to a hundred years ago, whether it be the organizational laws of the governments, along with the amendments to the constitution, other than the beliefs of one government ruled all, there’s, that pursuit in, human rights, and so, it would be brash, to state, that there’s no democracy in its, DNA.  But, what’s most worth noting was, just like Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, who’d turned from a medical professional into politician, his influence of the belief about democracy that it’d needed to get set up systematically first, before it gets, implemented, and those in the scholarly realm of the time, believed, that democracy can be put to practice, by the people being educated about it, and, allowing those who are, still learning, to take the reins, doesn’t make any, sense.  And, what constitutes as, democracy, I’m sure, that the scholarly find it hard to come to a consensus about even to this, very, day.

To the end of the war, although the KMT finally set up the constitution, but, had lost power of control in the internal battling, and surely, they’d become, authoritarian no doubt, it’s just, that since Taiwan was won, the local elections started, which was what was never considered from the Japanese ruling era.

The DDP had never taken a cent less from the national treasury.  In recent years, to protect their wins of the elections, they’d, turned the originally independently operating agencies of the government, into their, subsidiaries, showing how far they’d, shifted from the democratic that was in the party’s, name.

And so, hear the DDP bullshit is what this is all about, since the DDP took over this god DAMN FREE (this was still “free” last I checked!) country, Tsai and the DDP went against we the people’s wills, in passing the importing of the pork with ractopamine, and the importing of the nuclear contaminated produces from Japan, and the government still couldn’t provide we the people with everything we needed to defend ourselves in the pandemic, see the shortages of mask (that’s why the national “team” was set up???), the lacking of the vaccines (we’d relied on the donated bundles that other countries are discarding, because AZ became ineffective in preventing the mutated Delta, Omicron strains!), and, it still, bullshits we the people, and, what’s worse is that, wet the people are, allowing them to do so!

And, the DDP made this country, the OFFICIAL GARBAGE dump to the rest of the global community here, taking in ALL the SHITS that other nations tried getting rid of, and there’s NOTHING that we the people can, do about it, ‘cuz we’d all been, enslaved too long, and forgotten WHAT freedom feels, like now…
