After Lithuania Was “Hit by the Train”

On how Lithuania had, severed the country’s diplomatic ties with Taiwan, so they can set up better foreign relations with China, and now, it regretted it…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Five years ago, this country used the name of “Taiwan”, set up the very FIRST European representative office in Lithuania, and the government celebrated this occasion as a major breakthrough of foreign affairs.  But, the PM of Lithuania, Ruginienė sighed about it of late, stated that Lithuania had put itself “in front of a full-speed train”, and it’d ended up, losing.  She’d stated, that as the other countries are, selecting carefully the “name” of the “Representative Offices of Taipei”, Lithuania used a more radical approach, and in the end, “nobody admired us”.

how these, blabbermouth politicians got their countries in trouble, off of YouTube, from a SHORT nineteen hours ago!

The reality is, Lithuania is now, paying, a very high, cost.  Not only did Beijing downgrade foreign relations with Lithuania to “representative”, deporting the Lithuanian ambassador to China, halting the services of the Lithuanian Consulate; it’d taken the country off of the tariff free list, causing the cargos from Lithuania to not export to China.  China also pressured enterprises in Europe, that if their products have parts from Lithuania, the items will be prohibited from being sold in China; and China also sanctioned the banking industry of Lithuania as well.  Ruginienė said “we’d been hit by a train”, is from the heart for sure.

The aftermath impact of Taiwan’s setting up the representative offices in Lithuania, other than damaging the country’s economy, it also sparked up the debates of “economic survival” versus “moral value” which one is more important.  And, ultimately, it’d caused the Taiwanese-favored party in power to step down, and, although the party in control of Lithuania is working to better the relations with Beijing, but it’s still hesitant in whether or not to change the “Taiwanese Representative Office” to popular consent of “Taipei Representative Office”.

Taiwan had caused the situation in Lithuania partially.  Back when the Taiwanese government promised to invest more than ten billion U.S. dollars in Lithuania, but the actual amount the country invested is way less, which falls short of the expectations of the citizens of Lithuania.  The DDP wants to change all the offices names from Taipei to Taiwan, but from this particular example, perhaps “Taipei” is what will, survive in foreign affairs, longer.

and this IS, how EASILY China gets, “upset”…photo from online

And so, this is, in the considerations of money, after all, China is, a HUGE dollar amount, with thirteen billion in the population (how HUGE is that consumer pool???), and, going up against China, is basically, SUICIDE, and yet, these leaders of the countries get manipulated too easily, caved into public opinion, and this is how they land their countries’ asses in, hell!

Although Taiwan isn’t directly involved in this “case”, it’s the CAUSE of the disputes, and, so, the DDP government should take responsibility, after all, would Lithuania speak up for Taiwan, IF it didn’t say that it will set up a representative office (and they don’t call it “Consulate”!) using Taiwan, instead of the Republic of China, and that’s what got Lithuania SCREWED.  And China too, was at fault, for being so narrow-minded, but the DDP asked for this shit, with their promoting Taiwanese independence.  So, all sides are responsible for this, “fallout”.

F.C.C. Targets Late-Night T.V. by Enforcing Rules on Politics, by Jim Rutenberg

The Trump REGIME is really going AFTER the freedom of the news media press here, first, it’s Jimmy Kimmel, then, it’s the news agencies that don’t align themselves with the conservative values of the Republican Party, and now, the GOP and its president targets the REST of the LATE NIGHT hosts too?  Yeah, and that’s how freedom ended up, DEAD all right!  From the Front Page Sections…

The Trump administration is opening new front against late-night comedy, announcing plans to enforce long-dormant rules on appearances on network talk shows.

Under new guidance released Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission warned that entertainment-oriented talk shows carried on local television stations were required to offer candidates vying for the same office equal airtime.

and, here’s that, farewell to freedom of the NEWS MEDIA PRESS of the DIVIDED STATES of Trump, from YouTube

The guidance was clearly aimed at the late-night hosts who frequently anger Donald Trump——Jimmy Kimmel of ABC, Stephen Colbert of CBS and Seth Meyers of NBC—and have in turn drawn scrutiny from FCC Chair Brendan Carr.  But it would also cover daytime talk shows including another Trump target, “The View”.

The guidance addresses long-standing conservative complaints that the late-night shows have tilted too far to the left and are far more likely to have Democrats than Republicans as guests.  It is in keeping with Carr’s yearlong campaign to use old and largely unenforced media regulations, known as the “public interest standard,” to crack down on the major networks for perceived bias.

In a statement, the FCC’s lone democratic commissioner, Anna Gomez, called the new guidance “an escalation in this FCC’s ongoing campaign to censor and control speech.”  She added: “Broadcasters should not feel pressured to water down, sanitize or avoid critical coverage out of fear of regulatory retaliation.”

A conservative group that has led in bringing formal complaints at the FCC, the Center of American Rights, hailed the FCC announcement.  Media experts on both sides of the ideological spectrum said it would make it easier for the group, and others, to bring complaints against the late night hosts and “The View.”

The guidance involves a “public interest” requirement that stations give rival candidates for office equal opportunities to buy ad time and appear on their airwaves.  “Bona fide” news programming such as the evening newscasts is exempt from those rules.

there’s only TWO that remained, and NOT for long either…collage from online

“The major announcement from the FCC should stop one-sided left-wing entertainment shows masquerading as ‘bona fide news,’” Daniel Suhr, the president of the Center for American Rights, said on the social platform X.

See how Trump and the REPUBLICAN CULT is now, dipping their filthy HANDS into the FREEDOM of the NEWS MEDIA PRESS here?  And, the FCC enables this SHIT, because all departments of the U.S. Federal government is now, a SUBSIDIARY of Trump’s empire.

After he strips the people of the right to free press, because he can, and all the rights of the U.S. slaves (that’s what all you guys over there are!), will all gets, sliced and diced, until you are all, tied UP, chained, handcuffed, and GAGGED too, don’t forget that.

Judge Blocks U.S. From Viewing Items Seized from Post, by Erik Wemple

As the judiciary now battles out with the executive branch of the U.S. government here, from The New York Times that came with today’s papers…

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the government not to review materials seized during the search of a Washington Post reporter’s home last week.

The ruling, from Magistrate Judge William B. Porter, was in response to a legal filing by the newspaper Wednesday arguing that the seizures violated the First Amendment and demanding the return of the items.

from two days ago, why the freedom of press needs to be guarded, from YouTube

“The seizure chills speech, cripples reporting, and inflicts irreparable harm every day the government keeps its hands on protected materials,” the company said during the filing.

Porter wrote that the Post and the reporter, Hannah Natanson, had shown “good cause” to maintain the “status quo” while the issues were being sorted out in court.

The FBI conducted the search at the home of Natanson, a prolific chronicler of the upheaval in the federal government under the second Trump administration.  Natanson wrote a first-person article weeks earlier about how she had used the encrypted messaging app Signal to communicate with government sources.  A colleague described her as the “federal government whisperer.”

The authorities seized two laptops, one owned by the Post, as well as a company iPhone, a portable hard drive, a Garmin watch and a voice recorder.

Though the government has drawn criticism in the past for trampling on the rights of journalists in seeking evidence to punish leakers, never before had the Justice Department “raided a journalist’s home in connection with a national security leak investigation,” according to the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press.

how the TYRANT spins everything that speaks up and out against him…

how the press is GAGGED by Trump, because they don’t report things that are in his, favor…political cartoon from online

The search of Natanson’s home was in connection with the government’s investigation of Aurelio-Perez-Lugones, a government contractor in Maryland who held a top-secret security clearance.  He is accused of taking home intelligence reports that were discovered in his basement and in a lunchbox.

The Post argues that the seizure of Natanson’s devices amounts to an unconstitutional prior restraint on the Post, meaning that the FBI confiscated materials that the newspaper needed to continue its work.

On a related point, the Post argues that the seizure was far too broad for its stated purposes.

“Almost none of the seized data is even potentially responsive to the warrant, which seeks only records received from or relating to a single government contractor,” the Post said in the filing, adding, “The government seized this proverbial haystack in an attempt to locate the needle.”

And, this is like how Trump hits Venezuela, to “scare off” Cuba or whatever OTHER countries “down there” that are expecting to establish ties with China, from his past behaviors, we already KNOW that what he orders the military to do, like how he raided Venezuela, on claims that “They’re all drug dealers trafficking illegal substances up here, killing the people in the U.S.”, when his actual AIM is to strike the countries hard, to SHOW the region that he is one with the firm hand in things.  And, this RAID of The Washington Post reporter’s home, has the ulterior motives of getting all the press reporters to SILENCE themselves, to DROP their investigations on his relations with Epstein, or some other shady things he is involved, in.

Trump is destroying the first amendment rights here, and, nothing IS sacred under HIS reign of TERROR over these DIVIDED STATES of Trump (no longer the “United States of America”, remember???), and you, citizens living in U.S. territory are still CONSENTING to his TYRANNY’s ABUSE of your freedoms.

Being Too Blunt with My Interactions with Others

How sometimes, being too straightforward can, be interpreted as offensive, and you’d, learned to not be so, blunt, not so, outspoken, because you want to keep the relationship you have with others, amicable…translated…

I am someone with has the “detective personality” traits, whether it be in family gatherings or gatherings of friends, I’m extremely attentive to the details.

Once at a gathering, I’d easily caught a small light from a family member’s means of interacting with me, at that very moment, that familiar feel, shot through my brains, how I’d wanted to, bust the lies wide open.  But right before I called the person out, the line, “don’t be too overly critical” came to mind.

And, if my eyes are x-ray machine, reading the minds of everybody around me to the details of her/his thoughts, exposing every one of those around me, with the microscopic flaws, or secrets under the sun, what kind of a result will this “clarity” get me?  I’d suddenly realized, that when someone didn’t give others the space to back away, to offer them a way to step down, out of the spotlight attention, someone who sees things way too, clearly, will eventually, pushing oneself into the abysmal isolated, state.

My years of experiences told me, it’s easy to see, but, the cost of exposing the facts, it’s up to us to weather through alone.  We mistakenly believe, that exposing the truths can bring some form of moral victories, without knowing, that that feel of shame of getting busted wide open, that upset of getting called out, will not punish those who had done the bad deeds.  On the contrary, it would burn up that thin thread that’s already too, fragile, that helped us connected with one another originally.

I’d come to lucidly understand, that no one can take getting publicly humiliated well, that we should, save the person the least amount of dignity, giving them a gracious, exit from it all, because once those harsh words get spilled out, there’s no taking them, back, ever.

And because of this, I’d selected to “not busting people in public”, this is not hypocritical of me, but from the depth of understanding I’d been, socialized, on.

To now, I’d, switched my mindset to “tolerant of the errors” from “keeping my self-righteousness”, and come to understand, that in the complexity of human relations of the families, and interactions with everybody else we come into contact with, this is what we all need to, acquire, the level of tolerance of others’ errors.

Saving that way out for someone else, it ultimately benefits our own, selves, and this will give us a future of contact of well relatedness, also, a widened spheres of how we interact with one another.

This is, what you’d, come to understand, through your interactions with everybody around you.  You’d been quite blunt, speaking the truth of what you saw from before, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just, that being blunt has its, downsides, it can offend people easily, even if that wasn’t your, intentions, and you’d, learned to become more well-rounded in your interactions with those around you, and that can only comes with experiences in your life, and age.

Got Too Good at, Hiding…

We all got too good at, hiding, hiding our problems, keeping them hidden, from each other.  Got too good at, hiding, this is, how we’d, coped, how we, managed in our, so-called, marriage…

Got too good at, hiding, these, spots of mold and mildew, until they’re, completely, TOXIC, and impact our, lives.  Got too good at, hiding the truths, of our own selves from, one another, we’d, consented this, silently, or rather, we’re, using the attitude of “I don’t see, I don’t know”.

like, this…photo from online

Got too good at, hiding, until these things, finally, exploded in our faces, and, it all spilled, like that huge wildfire, that can’t be, extinguished, because it’d, spiraled out of control, gotten out of our, hands.

Got too good at, hiding, that’s how we’d, coped, pretend that the oversized elephant is invisible, that we just need to, tiptoe around this huge whatever, and keep on pretending that it doesn’t, exist…

That is how we, fool our, selves.

Fears Spreading Through These, Streets…

Those “police impersonators”, the Trumpstapo, they occupy these streets, they break and enter into residential homes, like robbers (and the law doesn’t do SHIT to stop them!)…

Fear spreading through these, streets, and not too long ago, these streets are, filled with children, playing outside after school, and now, look, at how unpopulated these streets are, as the goons started, patrolling our neighborhood, because this neighborhood, is, with the “colored” folks, and it don’t matter IF we are, citizens, permanent residents, or those with a work visa, they just, barged into our homes, rounded us all, up.

not this, I”m afraid…photo from online

They don’t give a FUCK if the babies are crying out of fear, if the babies feed off of their parents’ anxieties (kids do that you knows???), they just don’t give a SHIT!

Fear is spreading, all over these streets, as ICE started, freezing these streets, taking over these cities, states, and they won’t be done, until the ENTIRE CHUNK of this HUGE area that WAS the United States of America, turns into, PERMAFROST completely…

Fear spreading through these streets now, and, there’s, no stopping this SHIT, as ICE occupies EVERY CITY across the original (that WAS what this “place” used to be known as!) good ol’ glory.

but this! a group of federal agents going after ONE unarmed man! Photo from online

The Return of Imperialism…

“We MUST take over, we must, conquer!”, said the CAVEMAN with the LARGEST CLUB…

These world leaders, they’re, bringing imperialism (which never worked, remember how those, ancient empires all perished???) back, thinking that they can, mark whatever FUCK land they want to as their, own.  The return of imperialism, this isn’t good, because, this brings man back to the, barbarian times, when we don’t communicate, we just, grab whatever the FUCK we want from each other (forgetting the rule about playing together in the sandbox!), with a total DISREGARD of the rights of properties of others.

a powerpoint slide on the causes of imperialism found online

That’s the example these world leaders are, setting, and as the leaders, they don’t realize, that they are a BAD example for those who are, following them…

Imperialism is back, and there’s, no way of stopping how the countries’ leaders’ mindsets of conquer, takeover, kill, and, the world’s gone to, H~E~L~L!

The leaders of the individual countries, they are, stepping OVER, stepping on each other’s toes, because we ALL want to, EXPAND our, territories, we all want, our kingdoms to, DOMINATE the, world.

adding the PSYCHOPATHIC presidents to this, “pot”…

And that is how, imperialism FUCKED this world up from before, and, it’s still, screwing OVER this world right now, because these god damn world leaders, and we the STUPID are, consenting to this, SHIT.  So yeah, it is, all our, faults.

and you get…this…

When You Need to Belittle EVERYONE to Make Yourself Feel Good about Yourself

You need to push someone down, to feel better about yourself, that’s how you were, raised…and over time, this became, your, character!

When you need to belittle EVERYONE to make yourself feel good about yourself, yeah, making others feel inferior to you, lifts you so high, doesn’t it?  But that sense of higher than all of others, doesn’t last long enough, so you keep on, putting everyone around you down, to feed to your sense of, self-importance.

When you need to belittle EVERYONE to make yourself feel good about yourself, eventually, this putting those around you down will get old, and they (those around you!) will figure you out and, stop dancing on your, tunes.

And then what?  You’d run out of your own, tricks, and left with, N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

‘Cuz eventually, you WILL get, MADE, and, nobody will, fall for YOUR bullshit again…

Taiwan Should Make the Trump-Xi Deal Too Costly to Go Through

Yeah, but this corrupt political party, along with this MINORITY president still doesn’t have enough WISDOM to do so, so, we’re all getting, FUCKED up!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The American President Trump is scheduled to visit China in April.  The heads of states of U.S. and China conferenced again on the evening of the fourth, Trump stated that China is considering the purchasing of U.S. grown produces including the soy purchase this quarter is expected to get raised up to twenty million tons; Xi reiterated, that Taiwan is Chinese territory, that the U.S. needs to carefully consider the sales of military weapons to Taiwan.

The international public opinions on the conference this time is focused on if there is changes to the Chinese-U.S. relations, if U.S. and China are going to restart the interactions on the level of the heads of, states; while for Taiwan, the more pressing, and cruel issue is, as U.S. and China starts renegotiating, is Taiwan a player at the table, or are we, merely, a chip?

Trump had never fitted the stereotypical politician, but a merchant trading.  From his actions as the U.S. president, we see that there’s only one core logic to his operative means, whether it be the trade war he’d started with China, the “protection racket” he wanted to collect from N.A.T.O. member countries, his desires of annexing Greenland, what benefits will the U.S. receive?  For Trump, value, democracy, ideals, these are merely, tools in negotiation, not the bottom line.  And so, the visit Trump will make to China in April, we can be absolute certain, that it’s not to oppose the Chinese government but to “renegotiate the terms of trading”.  International trade, technologies, provision chains, world financial orders, to geographical security, can all get traded out.  While Taiwan, is dead center of many of these issues.

the “predicament” this “country” is currently, TRAPPED, in, political cartoon found online

with our most trusted, ALLY, Uncle Sam, lighting that FUSE to BLOW us all, UP!

For long, the Taiwanese community sees itself as “the last line of defense of democracy”, “the key chain islands on the frontlines”, and we faithful believed, that so long as we follow close to the U.S., we would be on the side of the historically correct.  And yet, the politics of foreign relations had never been a competition of morale, but a balance between power and interests and benefits.  As the U.S. longed for a more stable relationship with China, to reduce the costs of tactile, the importance of Taiwan then became “closely calculated” instead of “irreplaceable”.  In other words, whether or not Taiwan will have enough to bargain with, will be the country’s positions on the gambling ring.

The problem is, in recent years, the bargaining chips that Taiwan has, had been reduced to unitary, to diminishing.  The DDP government had put all its faith of the country’s safety and diplomatic relations on a single world power country, the U.S., but couldn’t accumulate the country’s own tactical, value, which turns Taiwan passive in the negotiations.  As Taiwan’s card to play gets reduced to “defying China”, and whether or not the country flips the card, relies on the American government, this naturally, elevated the geographical risk of the country.

Moreover, the government continually reinforced the thought of “defy China to protect Taiwan”, but is selectively blind toward the internation relations.  There’s no thorough discussion in the changes in American politics, and the impacts of Trump being the president, but the simplified response of employing the emotions; like all the country needs is that motto, we can escape our fates of, getting, dealt, out.  Trump visiting China, this IS, a political fact that Taiwan can no longer, ignore.  If U.S. and China can reach consensus on some of the issues, it may not be, that Taiwan stays “an unbreachable boundary” anymore.

The strategies of a mature country is not on the reliance of another country’s goodwill, but on one’s own irreplaceable values.  For Taiwan to prevent itself from getting dealt out on the tables, we need to make ourselves, “too costly to get traded”, not just in the costs of risk in military, but in economics, technologies, semiconductor, stability of the region, along with the key role the country must play in Taiwanese-Chinese relations.

see how our “hand” is caught between trying to escape China’s grasps, and attempting to grab onto U.S.??? Image found online

This mean, Taiwan would need to think on the depth of connections with other countries, and the flexibilities of how to interact with the countries, instead of locking everything down on that hand of “defying China”.  Communications with China doesn’t mean we surrender, and the exchanges between the two sides don’t mean that we submit; on the contrary, if there’s the lacking of alternative options between Taiwan and China, refusing to communicate, that would get Taiwan stuck as the bargaining chip of other countries’.

We have yet to see, the effects of Trump’s visiting China in April.  But one thing is certain, the poker game of international relations is being reshuffled right now.  As the major world powers start considering the costs and benefits, if Taiwan is still immersed in that feeling of delusional wellbeing, the country may not even be in control of the cards we play at the table.  The question we should ask isn’t: will Trump betray us, but, do we have something that’s worth the major nations’ of the world’s, respect?

We had, but not anymore, not since the DDP sold TMSC out!  And, with this primary bargaining chip taken out of our hands, guess WHAT will, happen?  This FUCKING (so???) hellhole will get DEALT out like Ukraine had been, and, tomorrow is, H-E-R-E!!!

If A.I. Can Return My Husband Back to Life Again

How the advancements in A.I. can bring back our dead spouses, but what good would that, do?  Trap us in the griefs of losing our beloved partners of life longer?  No thank you!  Translated…

My Friends & I, Don’t Want to Build Digital Identities of Our Husbands, So They Will Appear Before Us, We See Them, But We Can’t Touch, it’s Ultimately, a Mirage

“If you can spend a couple of thousands of dollars, and bring your husband back to life, will you?”, my friend inquired.  We went for a brunch date, and as we were engaging in casual conversation, she’d started flipping through the magazine at the café, there was an exclusive interview of how a music producer became an A.I. entrepreneur, that attracted us both, who’d lost our husbands, to read.

When Our Beloved Partners Die, Should We, Make a Digital Identity for, Them?

I once saw an elderly woman with her hair all white, on a talk show, as she’d talked of how her daughter in her primes, had died, and started tearing up, she’d sighed that the fates were too unfair, that for a long time, she and her husband only sat and stared at one another, without words of, exchange, then, they’d turned their loss into what drove them, they cut themselves off from the world, and started getting into the artificial intelligence advancements in technologies, and in another dimension, they were able to get their own daughter’s voice, her physical form, back, then they were able to, slowly, get out from the grief of loss, but she’d admitted, that “I don’t want to get over my daughter’s death at all!”, and because this sort of a heart wrenching, grief that runs too deeply, can trap someone, that’s what drove them to design a platform using just a few thousand dollars, to help give those who are grieving for their lost loved ones, or beloved pets, some comfort.

from a year ago…off of YouTube

Many years ago, my friend’s husband died in his nap, and this hit her too hard, that giant tree that used to shelter her from all the rains and winds, and sun too, suddenly, fell, and her son was still in school, being inept to cope with her own living means, she’d fallen into, a huge, panic then, and relied on a group of coworkers, friends to help her get through the setting up of her husband’s final affairs, and every time she couldn’t sleep, she’d, felt anger, she couldn’t, forget her life partner, how he’d, died and left her, behind, without leaving a single, world.  She’d started crying endlessly through her days then, and she’d, looked, frail and ill then.

Her daughter felt awful, and took a leave of absence from work to stay with her, and arranged for the two of them to go on trips in the country and abroad too, gotten her to take the courses at the local community college, cramped up her schedules so full she couldn’t have time to feel loss and sorrows, and it’d helped her regained the weights she’d, lost too.  It’d been so many years, she’d already, gotten out of her own grief, put her tears up, hidden them inside that deepest corner of her, heart, although she’d never forgotten her beloved husband, “but I don’t want him to come back to life in front of me now, after all, that’s the collective images of him made by A.I., it’s not real, why would I need to deceive myself like that?”, she’d told, that she didn’t want to backtrack, and asked me, how about you?

Those Whom We Love are Dead, We Ultimately Need to Learn to Get on with Life on Our, Own

Neither do, I.  My husband was bedridden for many years, I kept close to his side, took care of him the best I can, the path of long-term care has no end, my husband and I were, stuck together, in the deep dark abyss of his physical condition ailing slowly for a whole of eight, nine, years, I’d done my best, so had, he, and, every single interaction we’d shared with someone will one day, end, and ultimately, he would no longer be, trapped by his, ailing, body, and we both were, relieved.  And no matter how much I didn’t want him to go, I still must, let him, go.  The Buddhist master once told, that we are still together, because we had unpaid debts to one another, and now, as one of us dies, it is because the debts are, paid, up.  I now have no debts on me, and although, I will be alone from here on, out, but I also have my path I need to go down.  My thoughts of him shall always, stay, and now we’re separated by life and death, so, why not, just, keep ourselves well individually?  I’m certain, he wouldn’t want me to get trapped in misery too long, that I’d, impacted my own, health.

illustration from UDN.com

It’s not about the few thousand dollars of the costs, my friend and I both didn’t want to have the digital forms of our husbands to be with, us, we can see them, but couldn’t, touch, like a mirage, we just want to, keep on, going forward in our, lives, and work hard to live each day to its, fullest.

And so, this is why, this person and her friend don’t want to use the A.I. technologies to bring their husbands back, because no matter how realistic their husband made by A.I. can be, it ultimately still wouldn’t be the husbands that they’d loved and lost, besides, why the HELL would you want to, stir up the dead anyways?  Just let the dead stay DEAD, grieve fully and properly, and move on!
