OECD TAX RATE FOR COUPLES BY COUNTRY WITH SOCIALISM ON THE RISE - THE HIGHEST TAX BURDEN OF 48.8% FROM BELGIUM TO THE LEAST FROM CHILE 6.6% WITH THE US AT 26.9% AND KOREA 19.2%–ONE CAN ONLY DREAM THAT A FAMILY CAN SPEND ITS OWN HARD EARNED MONEY AND NOT NEED TO PAY TO THE STATE FOR SOCIALISTIC MEANS–AS THE LIBERAL SOCIALIST GET TO CONTROL WHO GETS PAID TO STAY IN POWER

South Korea's tax burden ratio fell for the second consecutive year in 2014, hovering well below the average for member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, data showed Sunday.

The nation's tax burden ratio, or the percentage of total national and local taxes to current gross domestic product, came to 17.8 percent last year, down 0.1 percentage point from the previous year, according to the data by the finance ministry, the central bank and provincial governments.

It marks the second consecutive year of decline. The ratio declined to 17.9 percent in 2013 from 18.4 percent a year earlier.

In its mid-term fiscal management plan, the finance ministry has predicted that the nation's tax burden ratio will likely drop further to 17.5 percent this year.

The ministry projects the ratio to increase to 17.9 percent by 2018 if the nation's tax revenue increases on an economic recovery and the regularization of the so-called underground economy.

According to the data, South Korea's tax burden ratio hovers far below the average 25.8 percent for the OECD members, with the comparable figure for Sweden and other North European nations far exceeding 30 percent.

GOLD MAKING A COME BACK FROM INVESTORS AS ITS LOW OF $1100 AN OUNCE IS BECOMING AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT FOR THE RICH WOLRDWIDE

Kim, a businessman in Seoul, has been buying gold at the gold trading market operated by the Korea Exchange (KRX) since last year. He has bought around 200 kilograms of gold so far, investing almost 10 billion won.
As the wealthy are turning their eyes to gold as an attractive investment, trading has surged notably at the market.
Average daily trading surpassed 10 kilograms for the first time in April, according to the KRX ― up from March when it stood at 7 kilograms.
"Following the falling gold prices, individual investors have been increasing purchases, betting the price will reverse course," a spokesman for the KRX said.
The average gold price for April stood at 42,341 won per gram, down 1.3 percent from March.
The gold investment has been increasing since October when the international gold price stood at between $1,100 and $1,200 an ounce. The investment temporarily lost steam, but is increasing again as the price fell to the $1,100-$1,200 range again. The key rate cut by the central bank also prompted the affluent to buy gold instead of depositing money in banks.

THE STATE OF MICHIGAN CITY OF GALESBURG NEAR CHICAGO GETS A MILD 4.2 QUAKE–THE CAUSE MAYBE FROM THE BEDROCK DOING THE SHIFT–BUT THEN ONE WILL NEED TO WONDER WHY THE MID WEST NOW AFTER BECOMING THE DEMOCRAT BASTION HOME

Most earthquakes in North America east of the Rockies occur as faulting within bedrock, usually miles deep. Few earthquakes east of the Rockies, however, have been definitely linked to mapped geologic faults, in contrast to the situation at plate boundaries such as California's San Andreas fault system, where scientists can commonly use geologic evidence to identify a fault that has produced a large earthquake and that is likely to produce large future earthquakes. Scientists who study eastern and central North America earthquakes often work from the hypothesis that modern earthquakes occur as the result of slip on preexisting faults that were formed in earlier geologic eras and that have been reactivated under the current stress conditions. The bedrock of Eastern North America is, however, laced with faults that were active in earlier geologic eras, and few of these faults are known to have been active in the current geologic era. In most areas east of the Rockies, the likelihood of future damaging earthquakes is currently estimated from the frequencies and sizes of instrumentally recorded earthquakes or earthquakes documented in historical records.

Induced Seismicity

As is the case elsewhere in the world, there is evidence that some central and eastern North America earthquakes have been triggered or caused by human activities that have altered the stress conditions in earth's crust sufficiently to induce faulting. Activities that have induced felt earthquakes in some geologic environments have included impoundment of water behind dams, injection of fluid into the earth's crust, extraction of fluid or gas, and removal of rock in mining or quarrying operations. In much of eastern and central North America, the number of earthquakes suspected of having been induced is much smaller than the number of natural earthquakes, but in some regions, such as the south-central states of the U.S., a significant majority of recent earthquakes are thought by many seismologists to have been human-induced. Even within areas with many human-induced earthquakes, however, the activity that seems to induce seismicity at one location may be taking place at many other locations without inducing felt earthquakes. In addition, regions with frequent induced earthquakes may also be subject to damaging earthquakes that would have occurred independently of human activity. Making a strong scientific case for a causative link between a particular human activity and a particular sequence of earthquakes typically involves special studies devoted specifically to the question. Such investigations usually address the process by which the suspected triggering activity might have significantly altered stresses in the bedrock at the earthquake source, and they commonly address the ways in which the characteristics of the suspected human-triggered earthquakes differ from the characteristics of natural earthquakes in the region.

SOME SOUTH KOREANS ACTIVISTS WANT THE US TO APOLOGIZE FOR ENDING WW2 WITH AN ATOMIC BOMB AS THOUSANDS OF KOREANS WERE FORCED TO BE SLAVE WORKERS IN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI AND DIED AS THE RESULT OF THE A-BOMB IN 1945 WITH 70,000 KOREAN DEATHS FROM HIROSHIMA AND 30,000 KOREAN DEATHS FROM NAGASIKA–WHEN COMPARED TO THE SACRIFICE AND DEATH OF 420,000 US SOLDIERS–OF THE 2 BILLION WORLD POPULATION IN 1945 ABOUT 3% OR 60 MILLION DIED FROM THE GREAT WAR WW2

South Korean activists and victims demanded at a U.N. meeting on Friday that Japan should apologize to and compensate Koreans who were taken to Japan as forced laborers and fell victim to the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The demand was made at the Review Conference of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. It was the first time that the issue of Korean A-bomb victims has been raised at a U.N. meeting.
Previous conferences have dealt only with the issue of Japanese victims.
The Hiroshima bombing on Aug. 6, 1945 left about 440,000 killed and injured, and 70,000 were Koreans. The Nagasaki bombing that came three days later left some 300,000 people dead or injured, including about 30,000 Koreans.
Most of these Koreans had been taken to Japan as forced laborers during Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule.
About half of the Korean victims were believed to have died at the scene. Of the survivors, about 43,000 came back to Korea.
During Friday's U.N. meeting, one Korean survivor, Shim Jin-tae, 72, spoke about how he ended up there, saying his late father was taken as a forced laborer and toiled at a military base in Hiroshima during the colonial rule.
"A considerable number of Korean A-bomb victims were there as forced laborers," Shim said. "Many of those who survived and came back to Korea have died without getting proper medical treatment."

THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE DID WANT TO WAIT FOR THE TRUTH TO COME OUT BUT FIRST MUST CAUSE CHAOS,RIOTS, DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND LIVELIHOOD THE DEMOCRAT LEFTIST WAY IN DEALING WITH THE TRANSPORTATION ARREST OF FREDDIE GRAY AND EVENTUAL DEATH INSIDE THE PRISON TRANSPORT VAN–AS NOW IT COMES OUT THAT 6 POLICE OFFICERS TO BE CHARGED WITH THE FREDDIE GRAY WRONGFUL DEATH

Baltimore is bringing charges against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man whose death in police custody was ruled a homicide on Friday.

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced at a Friday press conference that Officer Caesar Goodson, the driver of a transport van carrying Gray, will be charged with second-degree murder in the incident.

Charges against the other officers range from involuntary manslaughter to assault and false imprisonment.

Mosby said that Gray suffered his fatal spinal injury in the back of a police van where he had not been buckled in. She added that officers repeatedly refused Gray's requests for medical attention, and that he arrived at the police station suffering from cardiac arrest.

“Mr. Gray suffered a severe and critical neck injury as a result of being handcuffed and shackled by his feet, unrestrained inside of the BPD [van],” Mosby said. She added that while Gray had repeatedly asked for help after the injury and told officers he couldn't breathe, the officers did not drive Gray to a hospital and instead picked up another prisoner.

“Despite Mr. Gray's obvious and recognized need for medical assistance, Officer Goodson, in a grossly negligent manner, chose to respond to the 1600 block of West North Avenue with Mr. Gray still unsecured by a seatbelt in the wagon without rendering to or summoning medical assistance,” she said.

Mosby also argued that Gray’s initial arrest was illegal, as they did not have probable cause, and said that the knife found on Gray after he had been stopped had been legal.

Gray's death sparked violent riots earlier this week in Baltimore, along with many peaceful protests. A number of people assembled near Mosby cheered as she announced the charges.

“I heard your call for 'No justice, no peace,’ ” Mosby said to protesters, echoing a chant by protesters that has become popular during the wave of police killings of black men from Missouri to New York.

FIRST GE AND NOW BOEING REFUSES TO INCRIMINATE HILLARY CLINTON BY NOT RELEASING EMAILS DEALING AS THE THEN SECRETARY OF STATE–KNOWING THAT THE GE CEO JEFFREY IMMELT HAS BEEN A CORPORATE FOR THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA ITS NO LONGER A WONDER BUT OF BOEING REMAINS TO BE SEEN–BUT NOW IT SEEMS THERE MUST BE SOMETHING TO HIDE HERE FOR NOT BEING TRANSPARENT WITH INTERNATIONAL BEHIND THE SEENS WHEELING AND DEALING–THE NEW US GOVERNMENT AND US CORPORATION COOPERATION CARVING OUT POSSIBLE CONTRACT AWARDS WITH INTERNATIONAL COUNTRIES IN REALIZING CORPORATE PROFITS WITH THE DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON THE MIDDLEWOMAN IT SEEMS TO GET IN RETURN POLITICAL FUNDING VIA SPEECHES FEES–AS RUSSIA BENEFITS WITH RECEIVING US URANIUM MINED

David Almasi, executive director of the National Center for Public Policy Research showed up at a stockholder’s meeting for Boeing.  He asked Boeing CEO W. James (Jim) McNerney, Jr to turn over email correspondence between Hillary Clinton and her State Department and Boeing.  McNerney turned him down flat.  This is the second time in a week that a CEO has refused a request from a member of the  National Center for Public Policy Research.  Last week, GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt also refused to release emails between GE and Hillary Clinton.

GE received favorable treatment from the Algerian government because of intervention by Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.  Hillary Clinton received donations to the Clinton Foundation by both GE and the Algerian government.  The Algerian government received relief from the US State Department thanks to Hillary.  By the same token, Boeing was able to sign a 3.7 billion dollar contract with Russia, benefiting them.  Russia was able to acquire vasts amount of uranium, including 20% of all uranium mined in the US.  Boeing gave $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation and Russia hired Bill Clinton to give one speech in Moscow for $500,000 and Algeria gave the Clinton Foundation at least another $500,000.

Now, I may not be an expert on quid pro quo, but it seems to me that when everyone gives up something to gain what they want might be as good a definition.  Algeria got relief, Russia got to corner the market on uranium, Boeing got their 3.7 billion dollar contract and Hillary got her money.  Lots of money.

THE LATEST DEATHS FROM THE 7.8 QUAKE IN NEPAL IS 6,700 DEATHS AFTER 1 WEEK OF THE MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE THAT STARTED FROM THE MOUNT EVEREST MOUNTAIN RANGE

Nepal ruled out the possibility Saturday of finding more survivors buried in the rubble from a massive earthquake that killed more than 6,700 people and devastated vast swathes of one of Asia's poorest countries.
One week on from Nepal's deadliest quake in over 80 years, hopes of detecting more signs of life among the ruins of the capital Kathmandu had all but disappeared and the focus was shifting to reaching survivors in far-flung areas who have yet to receive relief supplies.
The U.N. children's fund UNICEF warned of a race against time to avert an outbreak of disease among the 1.7 million youngsters estimated to be living in the worst-hit areas, with monsoon rains just a few weeks away.
The 7.8-magnitude quake wreaked a trail of death and destruction when it erupted around midday last Saturday, reducing much of Kathmandu to rubble and even triggering a deadly avalanche on Mount Everest.
"It has already been one week since the disaster," home ministry spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal told AFP.
"We are trying our best in rescue and relief work but now I don't think that there is any possibility of survivors under the rubble."

AND ISIS KILLS 600 YAZIDI HOSTAGES TODAY–AIN’T NO STOPPING THE BRUTALITY EXTERMINATORS FROM THE EXTREME MUSLIMS CALLED ISIS–AS THE DEMOCRATS LIBERAL MINDSET IN POWER JUST LIKE GIVING UP ON VIETNAM UNLIKE SUPPORTING KOREA TURNS ITS BACK ON NORTHERN IRAQ–THE FAILED LEGACY OF THE POTUS BHO KEEPS PILING UP

The hostages were reportedly lined up and shot dead in a ditch on Al-Ayyadiya highway.
Aranews reported, via Religion of Peace:

On Friday the so-called Sharia Court of the Islamic State group (IS/ISIS) reportedly executed 600 hostages from the Yezidi community of Shingal (Sinjar) in the Talafar district in northern Iraq.

The group piled the bodies into the well of Alo Antar on al-Ayyadiya highway, local sources reported.

Shahin Shingali, a fighter in the ranks of the Peshmerga forces, stated to ARA News that since Friday the IS radicals transferred nearly 700 Yezidi hostages to Talafar.

“Without a direct intervention by the international community, Iraq will be witnessing more genocides against innocent people at the hands of the IS terrorists,” Shingali said.

Aseel al-Nujaifi, governor of Nineveh province in Iraq, confirmed on Friday that the IS terrorists executed hundreds of Yezidi captives.

“A new crime was committed by Daesh (Islamic State) against our Yezidi people on Friday,” al-Nujaifi said in a statement.

THE LATEST PACQUIAO AND MAYWEATHER PURSE IS $200 MILLION OF WHICH MAYWEATHER WOULD GET 60% WIN OR LOSE AND PAQQUIAO TO GET 40%–AND UNCLE SAM US GOVERNMENT TO GET 39.6% CUT FROM THE LARGEST BOXING SPORTS PURSE IN HISTORY–WITH $48 MILLION OF TAX PAID BY MAYWEATHER AND $32 MILLION PAID BY PACMAN AFTER THE MAY 1ST SATURDAY RUMBLE IN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE OF LAS VEGAS

The historic Mayweather-Pacquiao fight isn't until Saturday night, but we already know that Uncle Sam is guaranteed to win big.

The fight's total purse is estimated to top $200 million. Mayweather gets 60% of that and Pacquiao gets the rest, no matter who wins, according to the contract.

These two payouts will be the largest paydays ever for a professional athlete.

And they're subject to taxes.

The good news for Mayweather and Pacquiao is that there's no income tax in the state of Nevada. The bad news is that the federal income tax rate will be 39.6% on their prize winnings.

Mayweather will likely win $120 million and Pacquiao will get $80 million for the fight, putting them squarely in the highest income tax bracket.

(The purse could be more or less depending on just how many people pay $99 to watch the fight at home on pay-per-view.)

If the purse does come in as expected, Mayweather would owe about $48 million in taxes, while Pacquiao will have to fork over $32 million.

Grab a chair. You’ll probably need a beer, too.

I don’t want to overstate this but we are under attack from the thing we hold dearest. No, not Friday night footy. I’m talking about the missus. She’s stealing from you.

First it was your razor, then it was the remote. Now she’s taken the one thing you thought she could never touch. The last bastion of masculinity. Your sanctuary. The place where you keep your power tools.

Fellas, she’s taken your shed.

It looks like she’s painted it, too. It gets worse. She’s leaving you. Not for good, just to be with her shed.

And she’s not alone, apparently this is a thing now. We have our man caves and she has what she’s calling a “she shed”. Look at these. They’re everywhere!

SPACE THE FINAL FRONTIER CAN BE THE FINAL PLACE FOR DEMENTIA AS SPACE RADIATION CAN BOMBARD FUTURE ASTRONAUTS VENTURING TO VISIT THE RED PLANET MARS FOR ITS 2 YEAR ROUND TRIP TRAVEL

The technological challenge of getting to Mars may seem like a huge hurdle but it may be biology that holds humanity back from venturing to the Red Planet.

Astronauts could develop irreversible dementia on their journey because their brains are being bombarded with destructive space radiation, scientists fear.

The University of California found that exposure to highly energetic charged particles - much like those found in the galactic cosmic rays – can cause significant damage to the central nervous system, resulting in brain impairments.

"This is not positive news for astronauts deployed on a two to three year round trip to Mars," said Charles Limoli, professor of radiation oncology in UCI's School of Medicine.

"Performance decrements, memory deficits, and loss of awareness and focus during spaceflight may affect mission-critical activities, and exposure to these particles may have long-term adverse consequences to cognition throughout life."

At its closest orbit Mars is around 34,000,000 miles from Earth and it takes between 150 and 300 days to reach the Red Planet depending on speed of launch. It means that simply travelling there and back could see astronauts being subjected to dangerous radiation levels for nearly two years.

THE RUSSIANS KEEP PUSHING THE ENVELOPE OF EXCURSION INTO US AND CANADIEN AIRSPACE WITH THE TU-95 BEAR NUCLEAR CAPABLE BOMBERS–12 BEARS INTERCEPTED ALONE IN 2014–PRACTICING FOR A POTENTIAL AIRSTRIKE IT WOULD SEEM BY LOOKING FOR THE WEAKNESS FROM THE POTUS DEMOCRAT BHO

Last year’s intercepts included the following encounters, according to NORAD:

• On April 2, 2014, two U.S. F-22 fighters intercepted two Bear bombers west of Alaska’s coast.
• On June 9, 2014, two F-22s intercepted four Bears and one refueling tanker near Alaska. Two of the Bears later flew near the California coast and were intercepted by two F-15s.
• Early August 2014: NORAD notes a “spike” Russian aircraft operating in and around the U.S. ADIZ.
• On Sept 17, 2014, two F-22s intercepted two Russian IL-78 refueling tankers, two Russian Mig-31 fighter jets and two Bear long-range bombers in the ADIZ west of Alaska. The Russian aircraft flew a loop south, then turned west toward Russia.
• On Sept. 18, 2014, two Bears were intercepted and identified by two Canadian CF-18 fighters in the western reaches of the Canadian ADIZ, in the Beaufort Sea.
• On Dec. 8, 2014, two CF-18s intercepted two Bears near the Beaufort Sea off Canada’s coast.

THE POTUS BHO JUST CAN’T POINT THE FINGER AGAINST MUSLIMS EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE DONE THE GENOCIDE IN WW1–AS 1.5 MILLION ARMENIANS WERE BUTCHERED BY THE RELIGION OF PEACE CALLED THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND THE POTUS BHO CHAOS WILL NO LONGER CLAIM THE GENOCIDE BECAUSE THE TURKS MUST HAVE THEIR HANDS UP THE POTUS BACK FORCING THE SPEECH TO GAG THE WORD G-E-N-O-C-I-D-E - AND WE WONDER WHY JAPAN WILL NO LONGER SPEAK OF AN APOLOGY FOR WW2 WHEN WE HAVE A WEAK POTUS BHO WHO CAN’T EVEN STAND UP FOR WHAT SHOULD BE THE TRUTH

Genocide is the systematic and deliberate attempt to extinguish a race, ethnic group, social group or religion.

After the most well documented and systematic act of genocide in recorded History, the so-called Final Solution to the Jewish Problem perpetrated by the death cult known as the Third Reich, the surviving Jewish people adopted the motto, “Never Again.” They had been the target of countless pogroms throughout History and this was their vow, this is their pledge to themselves, “Never Again!”

This seems to have been ratified by the victors of World War Two at the Nuremburg Trials where they convicted anyone they could find who was even remotely responsible and convicted them of crimes against humanity. It has been ratified over and over again since by war crime trials before the International Court of Justice in the Hague.

Never Again! As a world we have all affirmed it. Genocide is a crime against humanity and it cannot, it will not be tolerated and yet NEVER AGAIN keeps happening again.

Recently we celebrated the 70^th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camps by allied forces in WWII. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder wherever they happened to be world leaders once again joined together to pledge, “Never Again!!”

Yet here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave at a recent commemoration of an earlier act of genocide by the Ottoman Turks against the Armenians during World War One our Mr. O wouldn’t use the word genocide for fear of angering the Turks. This is like not saying Holocaust for fear of offending those hyper-sensitive Schicklgrubers.

Even the left leaning CNN reporter Jake Tapper noted, “For the sixth year in a row, President Barack Obama has broken his promise to the Armenian community, made when seeking their votes as a senator and a presidential candidate, to use the word “genocide” to describe the massacre of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire a century ago.”

In an even stronger condemnation Armenian National Committee of America executive director Aram Hamparian said, “It’s a sad spectacle to see our President, who came into office having promised to recognize the Armenian Genocide, reduced to enforcing a foreign government’s gag-rule on what our country can say about a genocide so very thoroughly documented in our own nation’s archives.” Mr. Hamparian continued, “We remain profoundly disappointed that he has, once again, retreated from his own promises and fallen short of the principled stand taken by previous presidents.”

AFTER THE OPRAH HAD THROWN HER WEIGHT INTO THE THEN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BHO IN 2008–AND THEN LEAVING THE MORNING TALK SHOW IN 2011 AND AFTER PEOPLE HAD FOUND OUT THE CAMP HER HORSE IS BRIDLED–THE DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST PARTY–THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN OUT OF GRACE FOR THE SAME MSM TYPE MORNING TALK SHOWS THAT NO ONE BELIEVES IN ANY LONGER OR TRUST EVEN

The allure of the daytime talk show is undeniable: a daily platform, a set schedule and, in success, tens of millions of dollars. But since Oprah Winfrey ended her game-changing gabfest in 2011, the single-host talk show has fallen out of favor.

This coming fall, for the first time in years, no talk show fronted by a high-profile host is scheduled to launch. And the only such show from fall 2014 still on the air, NBCUniversal's The Meredith Vieira Show, is struggling.

On the flip side, consider the dozen or so contenders whose pricey shows haven't lasted more than two years: Katie Couric, Jeff Probst, Anderson Cooper, Bethenny Frankel, Bonnie Hunt, Nate Berkus, Ricki Lake and Queen Latifah.

In fact, only Steve Harvey and Wendy Williams have thrived in the space as daytime's landscape has become dominated by The Ellen DeGeneres Show (variety as much as talk), probing psychological analysis (Dr. Phil), medical mysteries (The Dr. Oz Show), food talk (Rachael Ray, The Chew), panels (The View, The Real, The Talk) and so-called conflict talkers (Maury, The Jerry Springer Show).

THE FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS TO PASS LEGISLATION–WHO CAN’T EVEN BRING ANY CONSENSUS FROM A SURE THING LIKE THE TRADE BILL WHICH LOOKS TO BE COMING TO ITS DEMISE UNDER THIS POTUS–AS BOTH PARTY OPPOSE OF THE TRADE BILL REVEALS THE FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRAT TO WHIP A WINNING LEGISLATION

The House is currently dozens of votes short of being able to pass legislation that would allow President Barack Obama to send trade deals to Congress for fast approval, according to senior lawmakers and aides in both parties, imperiling a top White House priority for the president’s final years in office.

At this point, upward of 75 House Republicans could vote against trade promotion authority if it comes up for a vote in the coming weeks, according to aides and lawmakers involved in the process. Some of the lawmakers fear job losses in their districts from free trade; others distrust Obama and oppose giving him more power.

House GOP leaders will begin officially canvassing for votes Friday, but they’ve been in private strategy sessions for weeks, learning about the intricacies of the bill from Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

House Democrats, meanwhile, say just 12 to 20 of their lawmakers support Obama’s request. That figure, if it holds, would amount to a stinging rebuke of a president by his own party.

THE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE AMERICAN MSM IS DEAD LAST EVEN WITH YOUNGER VOTERS AT ONLY 2% OF TRUST CAN BE GARNERED FOR THE MSM–WHO HAVE KILLED ITS OWN INSTITUTION FOR BEING BIASED INSTEAD OF BEING AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE OF NEWS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

The media limps in dead last among institutions younger voters trust to "do the right thing," according to a new and massive Harvard University survey.

In the school's Institute of Politics poll of over 3,000 18-29-year-olds, a tiny 12 percent said they believe the do the right thing. A whopping 88 percent said "sometimes" or "never." Just 2 percent said they trusted the media to do the right thing "all of the time," and 39 percent said "never."

The poll is the latest nail in the media's coffin, a downward spiral that has resulted in fewer younger Americans reading traditional media and especially traditional platforms such as newspapers and magazines.

THE 10 MOST DEADLY EARTHQUAKES HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST 25 YEARS SINCE 1990 FROM IRAN WITH 50,000 DEAD TO HAITI WITH 316,000 DEAD, TO INDONESIA 227,898 DEAD–AND THE 21ST CENTURY IS JUST BEGINNING FOR THE WESTCOAST OF CA

The number of casualties from earthquakes across the world has been very high during the past two decades.

NO MORE APOLOGIES FROM JAPAN’S PRIME MINISTER SHINZO ABE–AS PREVIOUS JAPAN PRIME MINISTER HAVE DONE–NEVER NEVER IS THE MOTTO OF NO MORE APOLOGY FROM JAPAN FOR WW2–AS MR ABE WOULD ONLY HINT OF SPEECHES ABOUT WANTING TO APOLOGIZE BUT NEVER OUTWARDLY CLAIMING TO SAY SORRY–AS THE NEW JAPAN REFORMS ITS INTERPRETATION NOT JUST THE ATTITUDE BUT ALSO INTERPRETATION OF ITS CONSTITUTION TO OPENLY EXPAND THE ROLE FOR ITS MILITARY DEFENSE FORCE INTO AN OFFENSIVE ONE

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday expressed his remorse over the sexual slavery of Asian women during World War II, but stopped short of issuing his own apology.

“I am deeply pained to think about the comfort women who experienced immeasurable pain and suffering as a result of victimization due to human trafficking,” Abe said at a joint White House press conference with U.S. President Barack Obama.

Mainstream historians say an estimated 200,000 women from Korea, China and other Asian nations were systematically raped by Japan’s imperial forces in military brothels.

Abe—who would like to move beyond Japan’s checkered past—has been under fierce pressure to repeat the apologies of his predecessors.

He has enraged South Korea and China by visiting controversial war shrines.

And some of Abe’s right-wing supporters have poured fuel on the fire by alleging some of the women were common prostitutes, and are fighting a vigorous rear-guard battle to alter the narrative

“Japan has apologized and made reparations numerous times in the past,” said Shihoko Goto an expert at the Wilson Center. “But actions and words by officials have essentially cancelled out those apologies; hence the finger-wagging about Japan’s sincerity.”

South Korean President Park Geun-Hye last Sunday warned “time is running out” for Tokyo to apologize.

Abe and Park have not met for a formal two-way summit since they took power in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

The issue has become a major diplomatic obstacle for Washington.

VIETNAM HAS MOVED ON FROM ITS IMPOVERISH DAYS AFTER THE COMMUNIST TAKEOVER OF RUNNING ITS ECONOMY TO THE GROUND WITH THE STATE CONTROLLED MODEL AND TURNING IT NOW INTO A MARKET SYSTEM AS VIETNAM HAS OPENED ITS SOCIETY TO A FREE MARKET ECONOMY SYSTEM AS IT GROWS ITS WORLD INVESTMENT TO $1.1 BILLION ALONE FROM US PRIVATE INVESTORS–AND THE PEOPLE AND ITS CULTURAL ATTITUDE OF THE WAR NO LONGER TO BE REMEMBERED BUT MORE TO BE FORGOTTEN

On April 30, 1975, the U.S. completed the evacuation of embassy staff to waiting American aircraft carriers.
For the second time in a generation, Vietnam had defeated a superpower; in 1958, it had thrown out colonial French troops.
Big banners celebrating the anniversary have been unfurled in major Vietnamese cities. Music concerts, exhibitions of old war propaganda art, gatherings of veterans and official ceremonies will mark the anniversary.
Despite the official celebrations and ceremonies, most Vietnamese have moved on.
Vietnam’s population is nearing 100 million, of whom more than 60 percent were born after 1975. This young, postwar generation is powering the 6.5 percent growth expected this year, driven by foreign investment and fuelled by a rising middle class.
For Ta, the war does not matter anymore, despite his family’s history. “Bygones are bygones here,” he said, laughing.
“I don’t think anybody really cares about it anymore.”
His parents, both in their 70s, moved back to Vietnam eight years ago. They do not talk about the war years much either, he said. “It’s all in the past. I guess Vietnamese culture is ― if it’s in the past, let it go.”
Hanoi adopted a market economy after 1986, discarding the disastrous state-run model that had reduced Vietnam to an aid-dependent food importer.
The country’s trade relations with the U.S. were normalized by 2006 and its accession to the World Trade Organization followed in 2007.
U.S.-Vietnam bilateral trade has grown from $451 million in 1995 to nearly $35 billion last year. U.S. direct investment in Vietnam rose from $126 million in 2000 to $1.1 billion in 2013.
