This is the reason why you need to learn about things like the effects of radiation, your life may someday depend on it…Fukushima Residents Seek Answers Amid Mixed Signals From Media, TEPCO and Government. Report from the Radiation Exclusion Zone
Mistrust of the media has surged among the people of Fukushima Prefecture. In part this is due to reports filed by mainstream journalists who are unwilling to visit the area near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. But above all it is the result of contradictory reportsreleased by the media, TEPCO and the government.
On the one hand, many local officials and residents in Fukushima insist that the situation is safe and that the media, in fanning unwarranted fears, are damaging the economy of the region.By contrast, many freelance journalists in Tokyo report that the central government is downplaying the fact that radiation leakage has been massive and that the threat to public health has been woefully underestimated. While the government long hewed to its original definition of a 20 kilometer exclusion zone, following the April 12 announcement that the Fukushima radiation severity level has been raised from a level 5 event (as with Three Mile Island) to a level 7 event (as with Chernobyl), the government also extended the radiation exclusion zone from 20 kilometers to at least five communities in the 30-50 kilometer range.

Bahrain Foreign Minister Seeks UN Help Against Iran “Encroachment”
WikiLeaks Gives Bashar al-Assad A Gift
Was it just coincidence that the cables were released as violence mounted in Syria? Either this was a cynical ploy by WikiLeaks to take advantage of the violence in Syria to generate publicity, or WikiLeaks recklessly disregarded the dangers such a release presents to the protesters.
The support given to opposition groups in years past may have no connection to the people in the streets, but the WikiLeaks disclosure surely will be used by al-Assad as an excuse for even more brutal repression.
WikiLeaks has given al-Assad a major gift, and the people of Syria will pay the price.
Pakistan has actually accused India of trying to grab the Taliban from it. The Times of India reported “Pakistani interior minister Rehman Malik has accused India of backing Taliban for fomenting trouble in Pakistan. Foreign ministry officials responded by describing the allegations as baseless and preposterous.” India itself has been moving into Afghanistan with its superior commercial and business capabilities and has urged a “political settlement” with the Taliban. The WSJ reported in 2009 that “India, one of the biggest investors in Afghanistan, believes there is no military solution to the conflict in that country and that NATO combat operations should give way to a political settlement with the Taliban, according to Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna.”
India is heavily invested in Afghanistan, particularly infrastructure projects such as roads, hospitals, schools and the new parliament building in Kabul. In all, Indian reconstruction aid totals $1.2 billion. Mr. Krishna said the investment was worth the risk despite the continued conflict. …
Mr. Krishna dismissed suggestions that India’s growing involvement in Afghanistan is intended to encircle Pakistan, a fear prevalent in some circles in Pakistan. “I think that is a baseless allegation,” he said.
The Pakistani fears may be baseless, but they would naturally occur to minds habituated to conspiracy. Having created terror organizations to use against India, how does Pakistan, a country so destitute that only a fraction of its national budget comes from taxes, outbid the far richer Indians?
As Putin Crushes Russia’s Internet, Obama Stands By
Obama has done nothing at all to stand up for American values in Russia. Instead, he’s munched burgers with Medvedev, unilaterally given up missile defense in Eastern Europe, and made it clear he thinks Medvedev is a progressive figure that America should support. This allows Medvedev to sell himself to his electorate as a man respected by the outside world, further undermining the legitimacy of those who would challenge him.
In fact, to the shocking contrary, Obama may actually support the Kremlin’s efforts to wipe out privacy on the Internet. His administration is actively seeking to crack open Skype and Gmail, just like the Putin Gestapo. Who knows? Maybe Putin and Obama are sharing notes and secret midnight whispers.
In short, one of the most memorable events of the Obama administration may well be the laying of the RuNet in its grave — and the rise of a fully realized neo-Soviet dictatorship in Russia.

Chile votes down PEU collective bargaining
Wisconsin unions claimed the rollback of PEU privileges in the state (which still exceed those given in Chile) was an attack on the entire middle class. How is Chile’s middle class doing? Last quarter, Chile had an annualized GDP growth rate of 7% and per capita income has risen to $17,000, ten times what it was in 1980 at the adoption of the constitution. According to the CIA World Factbook, their population below the poverty line in 11.5%, one of the lowest in the hemisphere, and slightly below ours at 12%. Neighboring Argentina, for instance, has 30% living below the poverty line with a similar per-capita income, indicating a great deal more stratification. And let’s remember that Chile suffered a massive earthquake last year that seems to have barely dented their economic strength.
It seems as though Chile knows how to handle its economy and its government. They may have learned a lesson from Wisconsin; maybe we can learn a few lessons from them, including their entirely privatized Social Security system.
Cuban communists headed for oblivion
An old and disappointed Cuban communist told me, during a recent brief encounter in Madrid: “This Sixth Party Congress reminds me of the atmosphere of sadness and nostalgia one breathes in those theaters that present their last show before being demolished.”
That’s a good metaphor.
Fidel Castro’s generation is now octogenarian. It’s giving its farewell performance. Fidel, 84, had his intestines removed in 2006, and Raúl, almost 80, will leave the stage before long. He gave himself a three-to-five-year period to transfer his authority in full and facilitate a sort of generational relay “so the heirs may continue the revolutionary task.”
What does all that mean? Nothing, except to stay in power. Although Cubans continue to repeat slogans, almost no one believes in Marxism-Leninism, while the government tries to escape from the system’s chronic failures by creating a few spaces that might allow private initiative to alleviate the disaster of collectivism. While they applaud revolutionary mottos, young people call Marx “the little old man who invented hunger.”
Mexican Drug Cartels Targeting Children
It is important to note that all of these crimes are occuring opposite an almost 2,000-mile border with the U.S., a border that is porous and unsecured. This serious problem has so far not been a priority for Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security.
The Mexican drug cartels have been able to export their drugs and their murderous violence into the U.S. at will — it may only be a matter of time before they export their newest form of terror and intimidation.

Elections have consequences… Obama spoke, S&P downgraded
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Barack Obama’s bitterly partisan speech in which he was clinging to entitlements, led to the worst rating for the U.S. government since Pearl Harbor.
We have Already Breached the National Debt Ceiling….
It turns out that Turbo Tax/kidney stone Timmy heard about the S&P downgrade of the U.S. economy on FRIDAY. Hence the weekend blitzkrieg, where he broadly hinted that GOP leadership has already indicated it will CAVE in to the adminstration’s arguments and vote to raise the debt limit. Is all of this bluff just that? Is the discussion moot because the toothpaste already out of the tube?

Have you ever been at a point where you couldn’t pay the mortgage or put food on the table for your family? It can be an absolutely soul-crushing experience. In fact, there are some cities in the U.S. that have been so utterly devastated by this economy that it seems as though virtually everyone has had the hope sucked right out of them. The mainstream media is trying to convince all of us that we are in an economic recovery, but that is a lie. The truth is that we are in the middle of a long-term economic decline and the greatest economy in the history of the world is dying right in front of our eyes.
The average American family is under more economic stress right now than at any other time since the Great Depression.
Memo to Bernard Condon: The blame for this far more important second factor cannot possibly be laid at the feet of Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s, or the other ratings agencies.

Victor David Hanson: Patient Obama
Mark Steyn: Losing the Future
Vegas is no longer the world’s biggest gambling resort; America is. Barack Obama says we need to “win the future,” and one more roll of the dice should do it: a trillion dollars of chips on the stimulus came up empty but let’s pile another couple trillion on Obamacare, and “high-speed rail,” and “green jobs,” and “broadband access” . . . And all the while Wayne Newton is singing “Danke Schoen” in Chinese. But don’t worry, we’re not just throwing our money away. We’re playing to a system! The president calls it “investing in the future.”
How do you “invest in the future”? By borrowing $188 million every hour. That’s what the government of the United States is doing. It’s spending one-fifth of a billion dollars it doesn’t have every hour of every day of every week — all for your future!
We complain about “paternalism,” and about “nanny government,” and about the “elites” in Washington who presume to tell us how to live our lives. People hate twisty CFL lightbulbs, and resent the governmental ban on ordinary incandescent bulbs, especially when they find out that the ban was initiated so lightbulb makers could make more profit. Calorie counts on all menus, forbidding children from bringing their lunch from home, restrictors on showerheads, the list goes on and on.
It is all the same syndrome. Instead of turning their attention to their own lives, they want to meddle in everyone else’s. First it is for your good health. Then it is to save energy, and save water, then it’s just something that annoys them, and pretty soon it’s a regulation that would help out a major supporter.
“It makes sense to seize today’s bipartisan support for cutting tax exemptions as a way to increase revenue,” Mondale continues. “I also believe that we must eliminate [George W.] Bush’s tax cuts for the rich.”
Obama embraced these ideas in his speech last week. But unlike Mondale, he didn’t have the honesty to say he wanted to raise taxes, so that he ended up advocating a “$2 trillion stealth tax hike,” as Reuters’ James Pethokoukis points out.
Obama targets the middle class while pretending to tax only the rich.
Reuters: ‘Capitalism is failing the middle class’
The headline should read ‘Crony Capitalism is Failing the Middle Class’.
We’ve seen decade after decade of bigger, more centralized, government in the United States. The federal government has become so unmoored from the Constitution that it would be well nigh unrecognizable to our nation’s founders.
Consider the tentacles that intertwine Goldman Sachs and the U.S. Treasury Department. Or General Electric and the Department of Health and Human Services.
The free market hasn’t failed “the middle class” (whoever that is – and, by the way, that phrasing is prototypical Marx-Alinsky class warfare rhetoric).
Monstrous government programs have failed Americans: from disastrous housing debacles like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; the control of more and more elements of the energy sector in the name of a “global warming” fraud; “financial reform” authored by the likes of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd; further centralization of the health care industry; the failing welfare state; open borders; Social Security, Medicare, and dozens of other programs that are little more than legalized Ponzi schemes.
Wrongly conflating socialism with generosity
The Victorians, who were wellsprings of one sentence wisdom, used to say “charity begins at home.” The giving impulse of charity must start within us, as it did within Jesus. In a totalitarian, or even semi-totalitarian (i.e., socialist) state, nothing is allowed to come from within. All goes to and flows from the government.
In a capitalist society, people have the wherewithal to give. And in a healthy capitalist society, they have the moral impulse to give. Jesus wasn’t a socialist. When he said “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s,” he fully understood the separation between our spiritual and moral impulses on the one hand, and the dictates of a state on the other hand.

Obama’s Incoherent and Misguided Energy Policy
Over and over, the Obama administration claims to be creating jobs and working for an economic recovery; while with the other hand they issue regulations that work to the opposite effect—killing job opportunities, damaging industries—and extending the length of the recession. All that “investment” has gone to paying off his supporters, not to rescuing the economy. He knows how to do payback, it’s the recovery he doesn’t understand.

Meanwhile, the government allows illegal immigrants to cross our borders quite literally by the millions.

Ask the family of Border Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar, whose murderer had no problem crossing our southern border from his home in Mexico.
Ask the family of 3-year-old Shakir West, who was killed in Cincinnati. Or the families of Alabamans Jeremy and Angel Seay, the newlyweds killed just weeks after taking their vows. Or the family of retired Lt. Col. Paul Krause, who was killed in Virgina. Or the family of Alyssa Holtzclaw and her 10-month-old son Tucker, who were killed in Texas. These poor souls and many others like them were lost not because of grope-free airport screenings but because of our open-borders policy.
Harry Reid Goes to China with Liberal Senators and Cowboy Poets (But Mostly Liberal Senators)
When it was announced that Reid, Boxer, Durbin, Schumer and the Laut were coming, it was reported that the Mao statue in the Beijing Military Museum got a hard-on — but I’m sure it was just a coincidence.
Durbin breaks from Dems on Social Security
What changed? Paul Ryan moved the national conversation to the actual source of the massive deficits, entitlement spending, and opened up a debate on his terms for reform. The White House hastily arranged a Presidential speech to counter Ryan, one that was so demagogic and dishonest that it might have forced Democrats on the Hill to rush to repair the damage. Before, Durbin could afford to sing Harry Reid’s tune of “Wake Me When It’s Over,” but Ryan has forced the hand of Democrats, even if Obama doesn’t quite comprehend it.
Durbin’s putting his money on the Gang of Six, a bipartisan group in the Senate looking at budget reform, but he notes that time is running out. Their relevance will rapidly dissipate if they cannot bring a competing proposal to the Senate floor before the Senate takes up the Ryan plan. After the warning from Standard & Poor’s, the urgency to change the direction of runaway deficit spending has finally hit the Beltway. If Congress doesn’t act, a lot of political careers will fall off a cliff before Social Security does.

No. 2 GOP Sen: Obama’s Silence Making U.S. Look ‘Irrelevant’ to Arab Democracy Movement Assad was Saddam’s ‘partner in crime’ during the Oil for Food scandal and he is now Amadinejad’s ‘partner in crime’ which gives him radical leftist ‘street cred’. If you have been paying attention you will have noted that Obama and the Democrats always remain silent when a virulently anti American dictator is having a hard time with those pesky “democracy” movements, especially any tied to Hamas and Hezbollah. Assad is also Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry’s BFF. Combine that with the Democrats needing Syria to stay under Assad’s control so it can help destroy Israel and it is easy to understand why Obama and the Democrats are ‘strangely’ silent about Syria.

“All he had to do is just answer some questions and show his [long-form birth] document and then have people do an attestation that this in fact is a legal document and it’s over, it’s done. And I think the president has neglected to focus on answering that question for people, and that’s why a lot of people still have it lingering in their minds. None of us can prove, none of us can do attestation. Only the president and someone who is legally tasked with attesting to the validity of that document can do that, and I think that’s what the president should do.”
For I’ve Been A Stranger In A Strange Land
I think the natural-born requirement is a necessity, perhaps more now than ever before. There are two reasons for this.The first reason is that regardless of how American I feel – and have become – I know that I come up across strange blind spots and holes in my perspective, ways of seeing things that would never occur to natural born Americans. Now, I tend to remember those that give me an advantage, of course, but I’m sure that there are others I don’t notice and which put me at a disadvantage to natural citizens. No, I can’t prove that I’ve got those blind spots, just like using my perception alone I can’t prove that I’ve mid-range hearing loss. I simply don’t hear it, so of course I don’t know if it’s there. But I can tell from the way other people around me react, in both cases. I simply didn’t go to elementary school in the states, didn’t grow up with American parents and wasn’t immersed in American culture from birth. It’s something I can never make up.
There are jokes I won’t get, music that will grate on me while other people love it and, I’m sure, policies that seem perfectly reasonable to me that would cause most Americans to run screaming into the night.
The second reason is that we have often in recent years come across naturalized American citizens, with security clearance, who have lived exemplary American lives, and who turn out to be sleepers, planted long ago by some other country (usually China. Sometimes Russia.)

How the mighty have fallen…Atlas is Shrugging in California
One thing I worried about was how well the filmmakers would be able to place the setting in present times, 2016, amid a crisis of severe economic dislocation (like we’re having under the Obamacrats in D.C. and across the nation). After seeing the opening scenes, and thinking about it a bit more, the scenario of disappearing industrialists seems entirely accurate. Indeed, as I’ve been reporting here of late, in California we’ve got the same kind of wrecked economy that Ayn Rand inveighed against. The Los Angeles Times was touting the expansion of the tech sector in February — 100,000 new jobs were created — while burying the lede on lingering massive unemployment in the state. But then the March job numbers — unemployment edged back up to 12.1 percent — forced the paper to be more honest. And then this weekend the Orange County Register published a devastating piece on the exodus of 69 businesses from the state for the first quarter of 2011. Reading the top ten list of reasons for businesses bailing is a jaw-dropping experience, but one that I’m getting used to. Between Sacramento and Washington, California can’t get a break. Indeed, state officials have taken a fact-finding trip to Texas in hopes of stemming the flow of jobs to the Longhorn State and elsewhere.
