A Response to a Japan Scholar’s Response: War Loot is Ours to Keep

October 4, 2012 by Mr. Allen 20 Comments

In a recent comment, one of our readers pointed out: http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/04/the-diaoyusenkaku-islands-a-japanese-scholar-responds/ I thought this is a funny read of a Japanese ‘scholar’ thinks that why ‘Senkaku’ islands belongs to Japan. I don't think the conclusion is "funny" at all.  I think it's "serious."  Below is a very quick response (sorry, … [Read more...] about A Response to a Japan Scholar’s Response: War Loot is Ours to Keep

The Euphemism of Freedom – Case Study on Google in the Aftermath of Benghazi

September 14, 2012 by Mr. Allen 54 Comments

The Political Olympics

August 9, 2012 by Mr. Allen 27 Comments

As the Olympics wind down in London, there can be little doubt in anyone's mind that this Olympics is about politics.  How else can one explain the string of smears against Chinese athletes and their performances - coming from unexpected sources such as the prestigious journal of Nature - all in the name of "science and objectivity" - as well as expected sources such as the NY … [Read more...] about The Political Olympics
