Why Do We, Remain, Silent???

Why do we, remain, silent…

Because we’re all, fearful of, the consequences if we, speak, out?  Is that it?

But, what would be, the repercussions, of when we don’t?  Had we all, thought about, that?  Why do we, remain, silent???  Because if we don’t, they will, PRESSURE us, they will, FORCE us to, stay, SILENT…

Why do we, remain, silent???  Because it’d been that way, of, more than, hundreds of year, since history of man, began, is that it?  We are perceived as, the LESSER, sex, because of our, anatomy…because we’re, W-O-M-E-N!

and this is, WHAT needs to be, DONE!!! Photo from online

Why do we, remain, silent???  Because we are, hushed up, by the, authorities (who made them our, bosses???) who, keep on, pushing us, down, is that it???

Why do we, remain, silent???  Because we’d all been told, to just, let it go, to, wave it aside, to, NOT be bothered by their, inappropriate, advances?  Why do we, remain, silent?  Because we’re, used to, staying, QUIET, suffering with our own pains, miseries, and defeats, too.

Why do we remain, silent?  Because we shouldn’t, we just, hadn’t, found that, first loud, CLASH of cymbal, that cause us all to, start, SCREAMING loud to get heard.

Apparently, the Trumpstapo Hadn’t Stooped, LOW Enough, Y~E~T…

and “we the people” are, ALLOWING this SHIT too…

Stories from Minnesota Part 17- It’s Not Over Yet

A Gift Given to Me by the Japanese Visitor in the Hotel Where I Work

How kindness is shown, and, reciprocated, lending that helping hand to someone in need…translated…

After the outbreaks slowed, I part-timed at a hotel as a night time janitorial.  Maybe, the CoVid had made everyone fell, trapped in, sinc ethe travel ban orders had been, lifted, the hotel had been, fully booked every single, day.  Those covered-in-dusts suitcases, dragged out of storage, resumed their, work, with those worn wheels, leaving the drag marks on the lobby’s floors, and, mopping up the floors of the hotel lobby became the most, time-consuming.

One day, I’d noted a female guest walked toward the payphones with the phone card slot, but she seemed to not be able to, make the calls.  The hotel attendant told her that the phone isn’t, working, then, went on to something else.  Seeing how distressed she was, I’d walked over, told her that there’s another phone booth on the left of the hotel’s entrance that she could try, or, I can lend her my cellphone too.  She’d thanked me repeatedly, and told me she wanted to contact her friend in Taipei, but because of the pandemic, she’d not returned from Japan for many years, that the phone card was purchased from many years before.

The following day, in the evenings, I was on shift, I bumped into the woman in the lobby again, she’d told me to wait for her a while, then, she’d gone upstairs in the elevators.  As I saw her again, she had a souvenir gift from Japan in her hand, and she’d told me that I must, accept.  And at that very moment, my heart was filled with, gratitude.

So, this is, how good it feels, not to mention the physical rewards that we may or may not, receive from helping someone in need.  You only offered assistance to the foreigner that was distressed, because she couldn’t find a payphone to make a call, and you’d pointed her to the right direction, she’d gotten to make her call to whoever she needs to call, and she was grateful toward your assistance, and, she’d, given a gift to you, and that warmed your heart, which will motivate you to help someone else, not because of the gift you’d received, but how it felt, offering your assistance to someone in need, because helping someone out, it makes us feel, good!

The Standoff Between Chinese & American Fighter Crafts

How the DIVIDED STATE of TRUMP (no longer the United States of America???) PROVOKED the “Commies”, but the U.S. isn’t “touching” anything, so, NO “crimes” had been, “committed”…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The U.S. Army Stationed in S. Korea Held its Rare Military Drills, the Fighter Planes Seemed to Have Gotten Too Close to the Aerial Zones of Chinese Boundaries

The Yonhap News and the Chosun quoted many officials on the 20^th, the American military stationed in Korea had done a rare military training drill awhile ago, the fighter planes neared the aerial notification zone of the Chinese border, and the People’s Liberation Army immediately responded, earlier in the week, the military aircrafts of China and the U.S. got into a standoff in the air above the Yellow Sea.

and this, is the “game” U.S. is PLAYING with China, like how your younger sibling ANNOYED the HELL out of, you??? Photo from online

The military officials of South Korea stated, that over a dozen F-16 took flight in the Osan Airbase, toward the international waters aerial territories, and entered into the space between the South Korean aerial border with the Chinese.  With the American fighter planes approaching the Chinese aerial, the Chinese government sent out the fighter planes to respond, the American and Chinese forces was locked in a standoff, but, no conflicts, they’d entered into neither side’s aerial defense zones.

It’s said, that the American military stationed in South Korea already ran the drills through the South Korean military beforehand, but didn’t go further into the goals of training, along with other details of the drills.  Based off of the reports, the South Korean military, after getting a hold of the related situations, they’d already expressed their worries to the American military forces.

The officials in the D.o.D. of South Korea pointed out, that the American military stationed in South Korea and the Korean military “are maintaining a unified and forceful defense together”, but the D.o.D. couldn’t confirm any military ops relating to the American military assets stationed in South Korea.

and China reacts by…off of YouTube

The reports showed, this drill is a solo act of the U.S. military, the South Korean Air Force didn’t take any part in it; as the Korean military isn’t a part of the drills, the American military stationed in South Korea sometimes would not share its plans of training or goals with the government of South Korea.  Observations showed, that the aerial notification zones is for the individual countries’ knowing threats from other countries ahead of times, set up by the countries individually; although, it’s different from the aerial borders assigned by the international defense laws, but based off of international protocol, as military aircrafts closed in on other countries’ aerial defense borders, they would, first notify their flight planes to the countries they’re, entering in.

The Global Times reported yesterday, that the Chinese Liberation Army had gone by the laws of China, and organized the navy and air forces, and kept close surveillances, tailed the American military, and was ready to take actions if and when necessary.

The report quoted the military problems expert in China, Song, and he’d stated that from the intel from both South Korea and China, it showed, that the Yellow Sea area where the American military stationed in South Korea was drilling in, there were the aerial defense borders, from before the American military stated in South Korea had rarely approached this zone, and, it’s clear, the intent of the American military’s drilling in this aerial zone with the intent to provoke China.

and the, SPITTING contest, BEGINS!!! Off of YouTube

Another expert, Chang said, there are usually only two goals of the American military forces drilling in Yellow Sea boundaries, first, for the recon up close, to keep tabs on the naval and aerial along with the land movement of the Chinese military; second, through getting closer to Chinese aerial and naval borders, to pressure Chinese government, to maintain a threat toward the Chinese army.

So this is still, the ongoing spitting contest by Trump, because “I’m not touching you, see, I’m only, intruding your aerial border”, I hadn’t landed, YET, so, if you hit me (the U.S.) down, then, I have the right to hit you back.  And, in this, Trump’s behaving like that kid that extended a finger out to his siblings, and saying, “I’m not touching you”, and then, someone bumped into someone else, then, a full-blown, WAR  breaks, L-O-O-S-E!

Because the U.S. is only, “testing” the aerial borders, the military hadn’t set “foot” onto Chinese soils, it only, flew in the air, so, IF China shoots the U.S. military aircraft down, because it didn’t want those, “mosquitoes” buzzing in its aerial borders, then, it’s NOT our (the U.S.’s) fault, and that gives us (the U.S.) JUSTIFIED cause to STRIKE them back!!!

That would be, Trump’s PLANS…

Democracy Stripped to, N~U~D~E…

Ahhhhhhh, my EYES, it B-U-R-N-S!!!

Democracy is now, ONE-SHEET to the, wind (instead of the “original three”???).  Democracy stripped to, N-U-D-E, because, the OWNER of America (Trump, our new GOD!!!), stripped it of all of its, original, powers…

Democracy stripped to, N~U~D~E, with all its, original UGLINESS, showing, the truth of how the first settlers had, STABBED the Natives in the BACK, in the Indian Wars, how they’d, killed off those who helped them, through their, very FIRST cold harsh, winter.

as the ideals of the U.S. is about to get, H-A-N-G-E-D…photo from online

Democracy stripped to, N~U~D~E, and, everybody’s going, BLIND (from seeing way too much, X-rated, NUDITY!!!), and we’re now, rummaging in the darkness, try to, not fall into, that huge, unknown HOLE that’s, somewhere in this land right now…

Democracy stripped to, N~U~D~E, and the people’s rights are, completely, gone, because the one on the throne is, thirst for more power.  Look, the PSYCHOPATH already, NEUTERED the Congress’s rights to declare war, to ley the taxes, and whatever LOOT Trump and his armies pillaged the other countries’ territories to get, gets locked into his own, pockets.

Democracy is now, nothing to the tyrant, and he forgot, about his own, roots, how he himself WAS an, IRISH immigrant, and now, look at how he’s GUNNING down the immigrants, with his, Trumpstapo “folks”.

how Lady Liberty feels, toward the Divided States of Trump right, now…photo from online

Democracy had, flatlined here…and, ain’t NO chance in HELL (or heaven for that matter!), it will ever get, resuscitated, again.

Democracy is, pronounced DEAD, the moment Trump got sworn into office……………

When the Spotlight isn’t on Me, Anymore…

The three nanosecond’s worth of everybody’s attention surely is, short-lived, and you’d had to, adapt to not being in the center of everyone’s attention now that there’s, that other, new, kid in the, class…translated…

In childhood, when the soaps or the movies played, the plot always circled around the protagonist and developed.  At the time, I also believed, that so long as I’m at the right spot, I will get, noted, to get arranged to go where I’m supposed to, to be treated with gentleness.

Later I’d come to understand, that the hardest thing in life, is not how to become the protagonist, is how I’m no longer the one the spotlight, shone, on.

from this…illustration from online

As I entered into a group, this is, especially, apparent.  The teacher would pay a little more attention to you, the other students would talk with you, and, every time class starts, I’d felt that I was, caught by the gentleness, the kind wills of others.  During that period of time, the motives for learning came naturally, with my interests getting, ignited.  I expected the weekly sessions, and showed up on time, it seemed, that so long as I stand right there, doing what I’m, supposed to be doing, then the world would, respond, back to, me.

Until one day, a new student entered into the group.  The teacher started remember the other new student’s, name, with the new attention on the person.  At break, the rest of the class started, circling around the new student.  I’d, sat right where I’d been, assigned to sit, but that was the very first time I’d, become aware, that I wasn’t, called in the roll, I’d lowered my head to the books, but, I just, couldn’t, concentrate.

The original familiar passions toward me started, fazing out.  I’d not gotten the needed attention anymore, and learning became, harder too, and I’d, lost, interest in learning then.  The loss didn’t come suddenly, but, it’d felt like in a place I was home in, and suddenly, I’d lost my place to, stand.

I’d started understanding, there are, different faces of the protagonists in the stories.  Sometimes, in the middle, with everyone’s attention on you; sometimes, quietly, with oneself at the center of, one’s own, world.  The disposition outside is different, but the longing inside is, the same—that need to be affirmed, to be, needed by, others.

I’d thought about backing out of the group to cope with this feeling of loss, like all I needed to do, was to turn myself around, then, I get to, dodge all the feelings of getting ignored, and loss too.  But I also knew, in a, subconscious, way, that this is bound to happen, repeatedly, again, and again, and, again.

And so, I chose to, stay.  Staying, it doesn’t mean that I will work hard to fight for the spotlight attention, but to learn to adjust my own positions.  I’d begun trying to show concerns for others more actively, and started, keeping my concentration even when I’m not, the focal point of the, entire, group.  And slowly, I’d found, that the other students and the teacher weren’t the ones who’d changed, what’s changed was, the way I, treat and see my own, self.

I’d stopped insisted on being the very front of the class, but learned to, find my own place to settle in in the, group.  It wasn’t conceding, but, a growing closer to, maturity.

to this, because there’s that other, new, kid now…photo from online

Must we all become the star of our day-to-day life?  I think, the answer is still, affirmative.  It’s just, that this protagonist, isn’t appointed by any one else, nor need to get noted at all, times, but, assigned by oneself, shouldered by, our own, selves.

All the emotions we experience in our lives, we are, in charge, of.  Waking up every single day, everything is gone from yesterday, the world before us now, we can choose, our attitude on.

When I stopped being the center of attention, I’d finally learned, to find my own spot, and stand on it, fittingly.

And so, this must be, hard, one minute you’re everybody’s attention, the next, you’re, not, and that’s how it often is, because, we can’t all be popular all the, time, it fazes out, and if you seek out the attention of others, need it to affirm yourselves, then, you will feel let down all the time, because you weighed your own self-importance based off of others’ beliefs, interactions towards, you, which will cause you to have an external unstable locus of, control, but if you centered on your own self, build yourself up, focus on doing WHAT you’re supposed to, when you’re supposed to, then, what’s on the outside wouldn’t matter as much, because you know, that you’d done YOU, the best you know how, and that’s all that, matters…

After Trump Destroyed World Order Completely, Then, What???

I shall shape you, the way I want you to, “appear”, like GOD said???  How the world is or will be, divided as his highly DELUSIONAL, likes it, the PSYCHOPATH’s delusion of WORLD DOMINANCE…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The world is now, aligned in its belief: that Trump had, destroyed, world order, free trade and safety of the world are no longer, whole, anymore.  Everybody knows, that it wasn’t like five years back when Biden was in office, that the wrong can get set, right again; as Trump goes further into his second term, no matter who wins the next U.S. presidential election, like the PM of Canada, Carney stated, “The world order will never be the same again”.

The world has two guess as to how the futures will, develop.  One, the U.S. couldn’t become strong enough to dominate the world’s countries, and it can only, respect the other strong nations’ wills and powers; second, the U.S. controls the key technological advances and the raw resources, and build itself up as a whole new, world power.

his “majesty’s” DELUSIONS of WORLD DOMINATION, image from online

Trump’s diplomatic policies, came from the retractable tactile, which stemmed from how the MAGA supporters are tired of how U.S. is involving itself in countless conflicts that aren’t happening on U.S. territories.  But, the diplomatic needs the backing from the internal, on the matter of Venezuela, Greenland and, Iran, Trump did what he wanted to do, he may be able to ignore the upset of the global community all around, but he cannot, ignore the people in the U.S.’s upset over the U.S. economy, and how it’s going.  If the Republicans loses either the Senate or the House in the upcoming mid-term elections, Trump will become, crippled before his term as president is, over.

On the international front, Trump doesn’t touch that.  The U.S. didn’t choose sides in the Japanese-Chinese conflicts, Trump remained lowkey on the problems in the South China Sea; on the Russian, Trump showed that direct lean toward Moscow in the negotiations of Russo-Ukrainian War, he also insisted on lifting the sanctions that U.S. had on Russia originally, to reestablish a more normal relations with Russia too.

In other words, the U.S. won’t stop major power countries such as Russia or China, in their expansions of powers into their neighboring countries.  So long as these two countries don’t directly threaten the security of the U.S., and are willing to strike up a deal, an agreement with the U.S., Trump will tolerate them.  Simply stated, this is, the new order of the powers.

But, there’s, another belief of Trump’s willing to “split up the rule” with Russia and China, this is, incorrect; although Trump retracts his tactics, his goals are to set a “new form of world power”.  The U.S.’s retracting was due to the promises that U.S. made to the world, and obligation to other countries in the world, but it’d strengthens the key technology developments, the passageways, and the control of assets.  For instance, thirty-percent of crude oils China needs is imported from Venezuela and Iran, with seventy-percent from the Middle East.  If Trump controls the crude oil resources from Iran and Venezuela, including Middle East too, then, he may have, gotten China where it hurts.

and, the world is, FUCKED, as Trump is the only ONE with the power to STOP himself, and he isn’t going to! Video from YouTube

If Trump only wants to set up the zones of power, then, Taiwan will become a traded option between U.S. and China.  But if his intent was to set up a new world order, then, he would never give Taiwan up easily, because Taiwan is on the first chain islands, especially, the high tech developments of Taiwan can’t fall to China’s hands, the U.S. needs control over Taiwan.  And these two, in the new world order dreamed up of by Trump, it don’t look promising at all.

And so, this is how the rest of us unimportant countries of the world (any countries other than China, Russia and the U.S.) are traded out for the benefits of those who OWNED our countries, because Trump only cares about power, he wants it, and he will do whatever it takes to obtain as much power as he possibly, can, and it don’t matter if all of the other territories become third-world places, with only three major territories remaining: China, U.S. and, Russia.

This is the predicted future of the global planet, and yeah, it’s, sad…and yet, there’s nothing any of us can do about it, because, the bigger countries are grabbing the powers too fast, fearing that they won’t have enough territories under their reign, and the rest of us can only watch, these SHITHOLE countries that we reside in, get gobbled, up…

Welcome in the New Year Every Year

The rituals that gave that feel of a new beginning is here, bringing the new, and out with the, old!  Translated…

As the fireworks of the New Year’s faded, the joys of the New Year’s is about to, start up.  The Lunar New Year followed right behind the regular new year, the tempos of the new year stacked together, making January feel, busier with that scent of bidding farewell of the last year, and blessing for the brand new, year too.

It’s quite interesting, how the western and eastern cultures differ, we are now used to, celebrating two new ears.  It’s even more, strange how the “false age” gets calculated, to show gratitude toward the start of a life, we were born as a year, old, and every Lunar New Year’, we’d gained one more year, by this way of calculating, the babies born on New Year’s Eve, would be at age two when s/he is, born.

photo from online

This kind of speeding through our years in coming of age, seemed to have the generosity that’s in the eastern cultural traditions: not counting the days on the calendar year, but, as the changes of the seasons happen, adding more thickness to, life.  Although, we’d all, started counting using our “real age”, to get us to feel a year, younger now.

The calendar New Year’s, the world is in synch in celebration, as the world rotated around the sun one full circle, the seasons came and went, we can, start to look back in review of this, year that’s, come to, pass, then, with the fireworks, counting down, to usher in the brand new, year.

Following, the complex Lunar New Year, in the complicated way of calculating, the days don’t, align, and we’d had to make sure the day it lands on every year.  Although the day isn’t set, but we needed to go through the ritualistic house cleaning, meal on New Year’s Eve, the New Year Day greetings to our elders, and families, to sort of reset the feelings, and thoughts too.

And so, we’d begun, choosing those characters printed the way we liked them, and readied to tear down the already faded red strips, and pasted the bright red new strips on our, doors; ready to hand out those red envelopes to the younger generations of our, families, hearing everybody hollering: “Happy New Year!”  In the warmth of these exchanges, we’d come to realize, that winter is nearing end, time to, welcome in the, spring

Year past year, we’d learned to say goodbye in these two kinds of calendars, time and time again, with grandeur, welcoming in the new year.  The numbers may be a bit, cruel, and unrelenting, but the stories of life that connected us, always bring people, closer.

And so, this is on the importance of the ritualistic, because it’s a part of our, individual cultures, and we pass in down to our next generations, and they, pass it down, that’s how we connect to one another, in life.

The Air, My Friend

How discrimination can, impact the lives of people, how it’s a part of our, every day, lives, and there’s no way of rooting this SHIT up from our individual, cultures, the column by Jimmi Liao, translated…

That Zebra Child,

Was Ecstatic, Headed Over to the Gathering to Celebrate

The Bringing in of the Year of the Horse

& He Was, Singled Out!

The Hippos, the Llamas, & Even the Seahorses

They Were All Angered,

And They All Decided to Step Up to the Plate, & Protest This, Discrimination!

the artwork of Jimmi Liao, off of UDN.com

So, this is, how discrimination gets too deep into a society, that it’d, tainted, EVERYTHING that it touches, and you still don’t think we need to, get rid of all these, stereotypes?  People will NEVER be considered on equal basis, because the LAW consented for the discrimination, prejudices in a subliminal, way…

The U.S. Representatives to Taiwan: You Need to be Prepared for War, in Order to Keep the, Peace

Translation???  We DEMAND that YOU IDIOTS, buy MORE bullshitting, unfunctional, malfunctioning military bullshit from us, and, keep your god damn fingers cross, that the COMMIES won’t, LAND on your, “shores” over “there”…are you FUCKING shitting me here???  Of course Uncle Sam wants us to drain out the people’s bank accounts (b/c the budgets of the government IS from our hard earned, TAX dollars!!!), to put money into his pockets, and Uncle Sam is still using FEAR tactics, stating that IF we don’t overprepare ourselves for war, then, the “Commies” will come and land on these shores, and, we will ALL be enslaved by the Chinese Commies!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

here’s what this “country” (stopped being one!), became to Uncle Sam, as well as the rest of the world…with the “password” of PREYING on the people’s FEARS of WAR here…photo from online

A while ago, the Atlantic Council hosted a seminar on the subject of “Preventing Taiwan from Getting Invaded”, the Republican Representative, Moolenaar commented.  He’d called out to Taiwan, to: prepare for war fully, so you can keep the peace.

Moolenaar said, on the host’s asking how the U.S. congress is to help Taiwan to protect itself, he’d claimed, that the Father of the United States, General Washington stated, “the best way to maintain peace is to be prepared for war fully”.  Moolenaar claimed, that the American Congress needs to authorize Taiwan in purchasing of weapons, that the ordered weapons will be delivered on time, and that the American Congress will ensure that what is shipped to Taiwan is fitting to the needs of Taiwan’s defenses against Communist Chinese invasion.  That the goal of this is related to the American National Defense Industry, “but I believe, that there’s the special considerations needed for Taiwan.”

Moolenaar used Ukraine as example, that the world disbelieved that Ukraine was able to las but a few weeks, but Ukraine had, “I hope to see the same resolve in Taiwan.”

see how the IDIOT is getting his ASS kicked by Uncle Sam on the barrel??? Image from online

Moolenaar stated, “if we look to Taiwan, we see that many are uncertain, like on the eve of Russo-Ukrainian Conflict, that they are unsure if war is to happen, that many are in doubt of a war, coming their, ways.”

The National Defense Strategy of Trump’s second term has no mention of Taiwan whatsoever, Moolenaar claimed, that the NDS’s goal this time, is to not allow any country to control the “first chain islands”, stressed that the islands like Taiwan which is at the frontlines, needed to strengthen the defenses; this clearly showed, of the intent, and the America first strategy already.

And this, would be, the sales pitch, how we need to prepare for war in order to, keep the, peace, and it’s completely BULLSHIT, because the U.S. only has ONE intention, to keep the wars in the world going (and seeing how the Russo-Ukraine, the Hamas-Israel had slowed down considerably, meaning NO more new weapons were ordered by these two!), it’s looking for that NEW DUMP SITE for its old, outdated bullshitting weapons to ship to, and, we still got that bull’s eye on us, and the government is way too fucking retarded, with its goals of Taiwanese INDEPENDENCE, no wonder we’re getting, SCAMMED by the ally who is destined to STAB us all on our, backs, our beloved, trusted enemy, Uncle SAM!!!  Now, tell me, we do NOT deserved to get, BOMBED up…we are stupid here, and, the IQ score of the ENTIRE nation’s people dropped to the SINGLE DIGIT’s, under the rule of the DDP here.
