"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

JAPAN AND THE US TO RESOLVE ITS BILATERAL TPP ISSUES TO BE RECONCILED IN JULY–OPENING UP FOR THE 12 NATION TPP AGREEMENT TO MOVE FORWARD -THE DEAL WOULD OPEN THE US MARKET TO THE 40% OF THE WORLD’S ECONOMY–THE FINAL DEAL IS FOR CONGRESS TO HAVE ITS FINAL VOTE IN DECEMBER 2015
Japan and the United States are likely to resolve outstanding bilateral issues so that a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal can be struck at a multilateral ministerial meeting expected in July, a senior Japanese official said on Friday.
A deal between the United States and Japan, the world’s largest and third-largest economies, is vital to clinching the multilateral TPP pact, which would cover 40% of the world economy. The deal is a key part of U.S. President Barack Obama’s strategic rebalance to Asia in the face of a rising China.
The politically touchy matters of access to Japan’s market for farm products including rice and the U.S. market for auto parts are among remaining bilateral issues, the official said told Reuters.
“It is not anticipated that these remaining issues will be stumbling blocks for a U.S.-Japan agreement,” the official said. “We are confident we will be able to resolve them in time for concluding TPP negotiations overall.”
After a six-week Congressional battle, the U.S. Senate voted 60 to 38 on Wednesday to grant Obama “fast-track” power to negotiate trade deals and speed them through Congress.
Japan and some other countries had wanted fast-track to be approved before making final offers on the trade deal. The Japanese official declined to give details of the negotiations.
Intellectual property protection including for newly-developed drugs ranks high among the issues to be resolved to clinch the multilateral TPP deal, which would harmonise rules and standards and lower trade barriers among the 12 developed and emerging nations.
“If not conducted satisfactorily, it could very well be a reason for the U.S. Congress to reject TPP. So it is a prerequisite for a TPP agreement to include high standard protection for new drugs,” the Japanese official said.
But the official nonetheless sounded an optimistic note.
“I don’t think any remaining issues cannot be resolved if there is sufficient political attention and input required to solve these in time for the ministerial meeting that we expect to be held before the end of July,” he said.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has touted TPP as an engine of reforms needed to drive growth. Japanese officials also hope the pan-Pacific deal will help anchor ally Washington in Asia and create a rule-based regime that would eventually draw in China.
If the TPP is agreed in late July or early August, the deal could be up for a final vote in U.S. Congress in the first half of December. Other countries also have to seek lawmakers’ approval.
SHANIA TWAIN THE SAGA LIKE A KOREAN DRAMA–WHERE SHANIA GREW FROM RAGS TO RICHES TO BECOME THE RENOWNED COUNTRY SINGER TO HER BEST FRIEND MARIE ANNE TAKING IT ON WITH HER HUSBAND MUTT LANGE AND RUNNING AWAY TO MARRY AND SHANIA SWITCHES TO HER BEST FRIEND MARIE ANNE HUSBAND FREDERIC THIEBAUD A NESTLE EXECUTIVE TO MARRY IN 2011–TO HER LOSS OF THAT PRECIOUS COUNTRY VOICE DUE TO AN ILLNESS NOT ABLE TO PERFORM ANY LONGER
AS SHANIA Twain embarks on her farewell tour, it’s hard not to think of her life as one long country song.
There’s the grinding poverty of her rural Canadian childhood; her loss, at 22, of both parents in a car crash; the illness that silenced her singing voice; and the betrayal that broke her heart — when her husband/manager ran off with her best friend.
“When that happened, I thought, ‘Forget it, this is more than I can handle — I’m never going to sing again,’” Twain tells The New York Post of that scandalous 2008 affair between Robert “Mutt” Lange and Marie-Anne Thiébaud. “I had to grieve through it.”
As she revealed in “From This Moment On,” her 2011 page turner of a memoir, there’s nothing like being stabbed in the back to make you lose face — even if that face has been called “perfectly proportioned,” and you’ve sold 75 million albums.
But the writer of the feminist-inflected country-pop anthems “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!” wasn’t down for long.
For one thing, she fell in love — with Marie-Anne’s ex, Swiss-born Nestlé exec Frédéric Thiébaud, whom she married in 2011. For another, she had a son to bring up — Eja, now 13. It’s for Eja’s sake, she says, that her relations with her ex are cordial.
WITH $21 TRILLION SAVINGS INSIDE THE BANKS OF CHINA–THE ERA IS HERE IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS WHERE CHINA TO BECOME THE EXPORTER OF MONEY INVESTMENT TO THE WORLD TO RIVAL THE WORLD BANKS OF THE US, EUROPE, JAPAN
Few events will be as significant for the world in the next 15 years as China opening its capital borders, a shift that economists and regulators across the world are now starting to grapple with.
With China’s leadership aiming to scale back the role of investment in the domestic economy, the nation’s surfeit of savings -- deposits currently stand at $21 trillion -- will increasingly need to be deployed overseas. That’s also becoming easier, as Premier Li Keqiang relaxes capital-flow regulations.
The consequences ultimately could rival the transformation wrought by the Communist nation’s fusion with the global trading system, capped by its 2001 World Trade Organization entry. That stage saw goods made cheaper across the world, boosting the purchasing power of low-income families at the cost of hollowed-out industries.
Some changes are easy to envision: watch out for Mao Zedong’s visage on banknotes as the yuan makes its way into more corners of the globe. China’s giant banks will increasingly dot New York, London and Tokyo skylines, joining U.S., European and Japanese names. Property prices from California to Sydney to Southeast Asia already have seen the influence of Chinese buying.
Other shifts are tougher to gauge. International investors including pension funds, which have had limited entry to China to date, will pour in, clouding how big a net money exporter China will be. Deutsche Bank AG is among those foreseeing mass net outflows, which could go to fund large-scale infrastructure, or stoke asset prices by depressing long-term borrowing costs.
‘Historic Proportions’
“This era will be marked by China shifting from a large net importer of capital to one of the world’s largest exporters of capital,” Charles Li, chief executive officer of Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd., the city’s stock market, wrote in a blog this month. Eventually, there will be “fund outflows of historic proportions, driven by China’s needs to deploy and diversify its national wealth to the global markets,” he wrote.
The continuing opening of China’s capital account will also promote the trading of commodities in yuan, and boost China’s ability to influence their prices, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Intelligence.
THE POTUS LEFTIST BHO CHAOS DOES HIS BEST DANCE AFTER THE LEFTIST AGENDA GETS HIS WAY IN EVERYTHING FROM THE LEGACY OBAMASCARE OF FORCE HEALTH INSURANCE VIA TAX PENALTIES, TO SAME SEXUAL MARIAGE FROM THE SCOTUS MAKING LAWS ON ITS OWN–TO ANTI-GUN SPEECHES VIA THE PULPIT OF RACE RELATION GONE WILD THE CHAOS TAYLORED FOR GUN CONTROL– NOT TO MENTION THE OUT OF CONTROL IMMIGRATION AND CREATED IS MIDDLE EAST–THE AGENDA LIVES AND GROWS–WITH THE LAME DUCK POTUS GETTING EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK
It has been a victorious week for Barack Obama, and arguably the best one of his presidency.
His spectacular seven days have included triumphs in healthcare reform, a trade deal and the legalization of gay marriage across the United States.
But it all seemed to come together on Friday, when he paused during a stirring eulogy to a victim of the Charleston massacre, and sung the opening lines to Amazing Graze - prompting the entire congregation to join in.
The speech which stunned the crowd touched upon gun violence, voter suppression and the fate of the Confederate flag.
It comes as he enters his final year-and-a-half in office - with some arguing it is the start of a victory lap.
AND THEN WE GET THIS MASS GUN KILLING FROM TUNISEA WITH 37 SHOT AND 1 BEHEADED IN A FRANCE FACTORY BY CRAZED MUSLIMS THAT THE POTUS BHO CLAIMS DOES NOT HAPPEN OUTSIDE THE WESTERN OUT REACH–REGARDLESS OF THE MIDDLE EAST–AND ONLY CRAZED MUSLIMS CAN HAVE GUNS AND NOT THE FREE ACCOUNTABLE CITIZEN
On June 18–the day after the heinous attack in which nine were killed at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church–President Obama said, “At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”
On June 26, the world woke up to news of one person attacked and beheaded in a French factory and 37 gunned down at a Tunisia resort.
The beheading took place in Grenoble, France, where two men rammed the factory with a car, then set off explosives. One individual was then beheaded and his head placed on a fence.
In Tunisia, at least 37 tourists were gunned down, including five Britons. The incident happened as “Islamic terrorists reportedly ‘shot people on sunbeds’ along a beach packed with western holidaymakers at the popular holiday resort.”
Again, on June 18, President Obama said, “Mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.” Yet even prior to the news of today’s beheading and the resort attack in Tunisia, Obama’s statement flew in the face of terrible, violent acts that had already taken place in countries like France, Denmark, and Norway.
COUNTRIES WHO STILL FAVORS THE USA WHERE MIDDLE EAST MUSLIM COUNTRIES ARGUABLY THINKS OTHERWISE–THE GRAPH NET FAVORABILITY OF THE USA FROM COUNTRIES ACROSS THE GLOBE–AND YET THE DEMOCRATS LEFTIST AGENDA EMBRACE THE IMMIGRATION FROM THE SAME COUNTRIES THAT IS ANTI AMERICA
The Pew Research Center recently released a study on how people in 39 different countries around the world view the United States. One of the questions they asked was whether or not respondents had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the US.
The results varied pretty widely. The US is very popular in sub-Saharan Africa: Five of the six countries with the highest net favorable views of the US were in that region. The US maintains positive approval ratings in most other regions as well, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
The Middle East is more of a mixed bag. While 39% of Lebanese respondents had a favorable view of the US, a full 60% had an unfavorable view. Residents of Jordan had the absolute lowest net approval of the US among the 39 countries in the study, with 83% unfavorable compared to just 14% favorable.

THE POTUS GIVES THE GREEN LIGHT FOR FAMILIES TO PAY IS RANSOM–KNOWINGLY THINKING AHEAD THAT THIS OPENS UP THE MARKET FOR MUSLIM IS TO KIDNAP GREATER NUMBERS OF AMERICANS TO FUND THE WAR AGAINST THE WEST–BUT THEN THIS IS THE LEFTIST OF CHAOS AT WORK AND THE AGENDA IS TO BREAK DOWN THE WEST
In many ways, President Obama's new policies regarding hostages are an understandable reaction to heartrending stories from the families of the victims of terrorist hostage-taking.
In fact, some of his initiatives are overdue and warranted. For example, the establishment of a dedicated fusion cell, as well as better communication with the families of the taken, are the kinds of things that make eminent sense. Even something as controversial as assisting families with contacting hostage-takers can find logic in many instances.
But the president's decision to permit families to pay ransoms is unwise, and one for which innocent people may pay the price. Inevitably, such financial support will enable extremists to commit further acts of terrorism, including taking even more hostages. Then-Under Secretary for Terrorism and Finance Intelligence David Cohen (now deputy director of the CIA) has made these very points. Speaking in August 2014, he said that "[r]ansom payments lead to future kidnappings, and future kidnappings lead to additional ransom payments. And it all builds the capacity of terrorist organizations to conduct attacks."
Likewise, terrorism expert Brian Michael Jenkins has pointed that the $132 million ransom allegedly demanded by kidnappers for James Foley was the "the equivalent of several hundred thousand AK-47s at black market prices or more than 200 times what it cost al Qaeda to carry out the 9/11 attacks." One can only imagine the nightmares so much money could have fueled had the Foley family somehow managed to raise it.
THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN HAS BEEN THROWN OUT THE DOOR BY THE SCOTUS IN A 5-4 RULLING FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE–THE SCOTUS AND THE POTUS MAKING LAWS ONCE AGAIN APART FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL LAW MAKING BRANCH
In a long-sought victory for the gay rights movement, the Supreme Court ruled by a 5-to-4 vote on Friday that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage.
“No longer may this liberty be denied,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority in the historic decision. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.”
Marriage is a “keystone of our social order,” Justice Kennedy said, adding that the plaintiffs in the case were seeking “equal dignity in the eyes of the law.”
The decision, which was the culmination of decades of litigation and activism, set off jubilation and tearful embraces across the country, the first same-sex marriages in several states, and resistance — or at least stalling — in others. It came against the backdrop of fast-moving changes in public opinion, with polls indicating that most Americans now approve of the unions.

HOW THE CONFEDERATE FLAG FROM HISTORY HAS BEEN THE BANNER FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE STAIN THAT JUST WON’T WASH AWAY FROM THE LIKES OF SENATOR ROBERT BYRD A KU KLU KLA MEMBER NOTABLY IGNORED TO AL GORE SR AND A MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS VOTING AGAINST THE CIVIL ROGHTS ACT OF 1964 WHERE ALL SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST THE LEGISLATION–AND TO BILL CLINTON OF ARKANSAS THEN HONORING CONFEDERATE FLAG DAY–BUT THEN THE SAME FOLKS VOTE FOR THE SAME LEADERSHIP THAT FORCES THEM BACK INTO THE SAME YOKE
…….As governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton did not object to the observation of Confederate Flag Day, which is celebrated together with Arkansas Confederate History and Heritage Month and Confederate Memorial Day. Per state code, it is observed on the Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. . . . Clinton did not publicly object to Confederate Flag Day during his time as governor. The holiday is still being observed.”
Democrats in the south also resisted civil rights legislation. Al Gore Sr., Vice-President Al Gore’s father, was one of them. R.D. Davis writes in “Blacks ‘Gored’ By a Lie: Al Gore Sr. the GOP and the Civil Rights Act of 1964”:
“In a... speech to the NAACP [then] Vice President Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights legislation. Fellow black Americans let me set history straight. Al Gore Sr. together with the rest of the southern Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“Congressional Quarterly reported that in the House of Representatives 61% of Democrats (152 for 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for 38 against). In the Senate 69% of Democrats (46 for 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.
*****
“Al Gore Sr. did not stop at simply voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition Congressional Quarterly reported that Gore attempted to send the Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to say ‘in defiance of a court desegregation order federal funds could not be held from any school districts.’ Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it passed.”
Let’s not forget that the Democrat Party had a bona fide member of the Ku Klux Klan as its most senior member in the Senate. Robert Byrd of West Virginia served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959 and as a U.S. Senator from 1959 to 2010 as a Democrat.

AMAZON AND WALMART JOINS IN THE BAN AGAINST SELLING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG AFTER DYLAN ROOF KILLING OF 9 CHRISTIANS LAST WEEK, DYLAN A SUSPECTED WHITE SUPRIMACIST WHO APPEARS IN A PHOTO BANNER WEBSITE LINK
Walmart and Amazon will no longer stock merchandise bearing the Confederate flag after the Charleston church massacre, in a growing movement against what critics say is a symbol of racism in the American South.
The retail giants were joined by eBay, Sears and Kmart and follows calls from South Carolina state governor Nikki Haley to remove the controversial flag from the grounds of the state capital following protests at the weekend.
Civil rights activists have long pushed for the flag to be removed from official use and the debate has returned to the spotlight since last week‘s killings by suspected white supremacist gunman Dylan Roof, who appears in photos with the banner on a website linked to his name.
Unemployed loner Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder. All his victims were black.

S KOREA MERS OUTBREAK SINCE MAY 2015 TO TODAY 180 CONFIRMED INFECTED, 29 DEATHS (50 YEARS OLD AND ABOVE), 74 RECOVERED FROM THE ILLNESS, AND 2,640 STILL IN QUARANTINE
A caregiver who had not been informed about her exposure to Middle East respiratory syndrome virus died just two days after her official MERS diagnosis on Wednesday, raising questions once again about the government’s handling of the outbreak.
Her death was one of two reported by Seoul on Thursday, raising the nation’s death toll to 29 and the fatality rate of the disease to 16.1 percent. Health authorities also confirmed one new case at a Busan-based hospital, bringing the total number of MERS cases to 180.
The late caregiver -- the nation’s 173rd MERS case -- is believed to have been exposed to the virus on June 5, when she accompanied her client to Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong in Seoul, where the 76th MERS patient was staying at the time.
The 70-year-old, however, had never been informed about the exposure by the authorities, and therefore was never put under quarantine.

BOEINGS LAST COMBAT FIGHTER JET THE FA-18 SUPER HORNET (DESIGNED BY MCDONNELL DOUGLAS) MAYBE THE LAST FIGHTER JET FROM BOEING–AS FUNDING MOVES TOWARD THE F-35 STOVL–UNLESS INTERNATIONAL SALES OR CONGRESS ORDERS PROCEED IN THIS YEARS 2015 BUDGET–OTHERWISE PRODUCTION TO CEASE IN 2017 FROM ST LOUISE MO
As the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program continues to accrue criticism over cost and schedule overruns and missed milestones, the U.S. Navy is looking to an old standby—the Boeing-built F/A-18 Super Hornet—to plug potential holes in its airborne fleet. The Navy’s unfunded “wish list,” headed to lawmakers’ desks this week, includes 12 Boeing-built F/A-18 fighter jets alongside eight Lockheed Martin F-35Cs. Each purchase would be worth roughly $1 billion for the companies—if Congress decides to fund them.
That’s great news for Boeing BA -0.17% , whose F/A-18 production line is set to cease production in 2017 if the company receives no new orders. But a decision on whether to spend the company’s own cash on long-lead production materials like titanium will have to be made this summer, before Congress finalizes its fiscal 2016 budget. A strong signal from the Navy and Congress now could play a big role in that decision…….
……Boeing needs to produce at least two aircraft per month to keep its St. Louis-based F/A-18 assembly line economically viable, so the additional dozen F/A-18s desired by the Navy would only sustain production for an additional six months. But it would keep it humming into mid-2018, when further U.S. orders or a foreign customer might extend production further still. Boeing is currently chasing a potential deal with Kuwait for a reported 28 aircraft. Other Gulf nations as well as Denmark and Belgium are weighing fighter jet orders at the end of the decade as well. An lifeline for the F/A-18 now could be the difference between Boeing remaining a maker of combat fighter jets or exiting the space entirely as orders for its existing products taper.
THE CLINTONS HILLARY AND BILL LIVES IT UP IN LUXURY LIVING AMONGST THE HAMPTONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH VACATIONS GALORE–FOLLOWING EVERY DEMOCRAT MOTTO SPEND WHAT IS NOT YOURS ON VACATIONS JUST LIKE THE POTUS BHO HAWAIIN VACATIONS USING TAX PAYERS MONIES
For the past several summers, Bill and Hillary Clinton have done what New York City’s moneyed residents have done for decades: They spent their vacation amid the prime beachside real estate of Long Island.
In 2011 and 2012, there was the eight-bedroom, 12,000-square-foot East Hampton rental with a heated pool that the couple took for part of August, the kind of house that typically goes for $200,000 per month, according to local real estate listings.
Then, in 2013, they opted for an equally pricey six-bedroom mansion in Sagaponack with a private pathway to the beach. (Mrs. Clinton worked on her memoir, “Hard Choices,” from a sunny office with an ocean view.)
Last year, when speculation about Mrs. Clinton’s presidential run reached a fever pitch, the former first couple chose the comparatively lower-key town of Amagansett, just up Montauk Highway from the lobster shacks and fishermen at the end of Long Island. The seven-bedroom bluffside estate with sweeping views of Gardiners Bay, the kind of house in that area that rents for $100,000 for the month of August, was next door to the home of the Clinton friend and donor Harvey Weinstein.
THE POPE SITTING IN THE VATICAN A PURE CLIMATE CHANGER–THAT THESE CLIMATORS CAN DIRECT AND CONTROL THE WEATHER LET ALONE PREDICT IT IN THE CHAOTIC WORLD OF CHANGE AS THE EARTH TRAVELS A SPACE JOURNEY AROUND A SUN THAT CONTINOUSLY HEATS AND COOLS–YET THE AGENDA IS THAT MAN CAN CONTROL THE UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNPREDICTABLE THROUGH THE WACKO SCIENCE OF THE MAN MADE ENVIRONMENT–YET THE POPE TURNS THE DEAF EAR TO PHILIPPE DE LARMINAT WHO COUNTERS THE GLOBAL MAN MADE WEATHER–AS HIS SEAT MIRACULOUSY DISAPPEARS AT THE LAST MINUTE IN THE VATICAN CLIMATE SUMMIT–SINCE THE BLIND MUST FOLLOW THE BLIND EVEN TO THE END OF THE CLIFF
Pope Francis was about to take a major step backing the science behind human-driven global warming, and Philippe de Larminat was determined to change his mind.
A French doubter who authored a book arguing that solar activity — not greenhouse gases — was driving global warming, de Larminat sought a spot at a climate summit in April sponsored by the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Nobel laureates would be there. So would U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs and others calling for dramatic steps to curb carbon emissions.
After securing a high-level meeting at the Vatican, he was told that, space permitting, he could join. He bought a plane ticket from Paris to Rome. But five days before the April 28 summit, de Larminat said, he received an e-mail saying there was no space left. It came after other scientists — as well as the powerful Vatican bureaucrat in charge of the academy — insisted he had no business being there.
“They did not want to hear an off note,” de Larminat said.
The incident highlights how climate-change doubters tried and failed to alter the landmark papal document unveiled last week — one that saw the leader of 1 billion Catholics fuse faith and reason and come to the conclusion that “denial” is wrong.
50 YEARS TODAY MARKS KOREA AND JAPAN RESUMING DIPLOMATIC RELATION THAT BEGAN IN 1965
The foreign ministers of South Korea and Japan held talks in Tokyo on Sunday to forge much-needed momentum to mend bilateral relations that have been strained amid escalating historical and territorial feuds.
Their meeting was arranged as the two countries are to mark the 50th anniversary on Monday of the normalization of bilateral diplomatic ties. It was the first visit by Seoul’s top diplomat since the Park Geun-hye administration was inaugurated in February 2013.
During their talks, Seoul’s Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida exchanged views on a wide range of bilateral, regional and global issues including North Korea’s escalating nuclear and missile threats, Seoul officials said.
High on the agenda was a set of pending history issues including Japan’s sexual enslavement of Korean women, euphemistically called “comfort women, and Japan’s bid to gain UNESCO World Heritage status for 23 sites from the Meiji-era industrialization.

How to Con America and Get a Nuclear Bomb in 4 easy steps. How did Iran manage to dupe America to be set firmly on the road to nuclear weapons? What happened to the ironclad deal America had insisted on. It seems Iran cleverly dodged inspections, refused to close nuclear facilities, increased their centrifuges and continue to enrich uranium. No deal is better than a bad deal. Stop a Nuclear Iran.
