#1 What does the UN call it when a world body stands at attention and gives a tribute and a moment of silence to one of the Monsters of the 21st century?

Thursday.

I would post this as a separate article but its a few days past.

#2 Yup. The UN did nothing to honor Vaclav Havel. Bastards.

#3 "The UN did nothing to honor Vaclav Havel."

If Mr. Havel's reputation could be raised any higher in my eyes, Dr. Steve, that would do it.

Sort of a take-off on Groucho's "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member" thingie....

#5 NEWS KERALA > CHINA DENIES SENDING TROOPS INTO NORTH KOREA, immediately after the passing of Kim Jong-il as per media reports.

Prolly safe to say, however, that Jong-un will inherit the 10-20,000 PLA security force that protected Daddy-O.

By inference, iff the repors of the PLA security force are tru, then China likely knew about the real-time death of Kim Jong-il at least at the same time as Kimmie's personal or household entourage, i.e. NOT WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED ON STATE TV???

#6 More ....

DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [FT.com] CHINA'S GREATEST THREAT IS INTERNAL, i.e. mucho decisive uncertainty as per the country's future within China's top MilPol leadership.

Perhaps more succintly, China's urban workers want higher pay + better housing + schools, etc. + are increasingly engaging in more + more organized mass protests across the country.
IMO THE REAL QUESTION IS WHETEHR THE CPC IS WILLING TO DEREGULATE + LOOSEN TRADITIONAL COMMIE CONTROLS FOR THE SAKE OF AN EXPANDING ECONOMY.

[IIRC THE SIMPSON'S = ON THIS DAY IN TIANENMEN SQUARE, NOTHING HAPPENED].

* SAME > CHINA TURNING INTO A MILITARY-RUN PUPPET STATE LIKE PAKISTAN? | THE PLA'S GREAT POWER GRAB ...... .....

* SAME > [Retired Russian MGEN. Vladimir Dvorkin]
CHINA MORE AT RISK [than Russia] FROM US AMD PLANS IN THE PACIFIC, as per its strategic nuclear deterrence [arsenal].

ARTIC > MGEN. DVORKIN = JAPAN + THE ROK ALREADY HAVE NAVALIZED VERSIONS OF THE US AEGIS BMD SYSTEM, + ARE PLANNING MORE UNITS.

* SAME > NEW ASIAN REGIONAL ORDER IS ABOUT COUNTERING CHINESE HEGEMONY.
