I'm still unable to type Han characters here, so here is my frank thinking in English: I'm afraid we are having American-stlyle democracy in Taiwan, perhaps still not so advanced as to be highly sophisticated to the far end yet still functioning. That's what I have finally realized living and observing in the USA about this kind of "democracy", and observing Taiwan's political development from here. I appreciate our former ROC President Lee in his position as the KMT head. NOT ANY MORE for our current ROC Pres. Chen, after the WHOLE SIX YEARS! I think he is mainly responsible for our absurd international position, rather than either the US government, or the Taiwanses citizens or the Taiwanese as a whole. Our fate is our own responsibility. It has been a TERRIBLE MISTAKE individually and as groups, to have Mr. Chen as our "ROC President", I have finally been forced to realize! ================== ----- Original Message ---- From: Ch.

 宋楚瑜和親民黨以及施明德和林正杰,在這個時刻故意在立法院內外,聯手運作通過「黨產條例」付委,不惜和國民黨與泛藍對立,這對宋楚瑜參選台北市長的選情產生負面作用,對施明德的已經萎縮的倒扁也是雪上加霜,但是,他們卻仍然奮不顧身的投入「黨產條例」,用以牽制馬英九和國民黨讓審核軍購案的通過的承諾。  他們自身有什麼理由如此的奮不顧身?  李敖在立院噴灑催淚瓦斯的舉止更是讓人震驚,讓人震驚的不是催淚瓦斯,而是他那種拼死阻止軍購的神態。那種拼了老命的神態,讓人無法了解,一向玩世不恭的李敖,他自身又有什麼理由如此的奮不顧身?  個別來看,只覺得各個的衝撞強大,然而,將這些「奮不顧身」合在一起來看,就會隱約的看出一個重大的陰謀在醞釀著,一個中共的身影浮現出來。  有時候,真希望這是筆者判斷錯誤,亂扣了他們紅色帽子,這樣台灣就比較安全。但是,當筆者全盤的整理了這些資料之後,不禁更加的膽戰心驚,因為在這裡筆者看見的不是個案,而是「聯手做案」,而連結的關鍵只有一個:中共。  因為台灣多了一顆飛彈,中共就必須面對這顆飛彈,台灣多了一艘潛艇,中共就必須面對這艘潛艇,台灣多了一份防禦的力量,中共就必須多付出一份的作戰代價。所以,中共必須用盡所有的方法來阻止台灣的軍購。  這五年,中共很成功的阻止了台灣的軍購。中共真的以整整五年,在台灣的立法院成功的阻止了台灣的軍購。  在這裡也必須譴責馬英九和國民黨。馬英九和國民黨明明知道國家需要軍購,也知道這不是民進黨的私自採購,也多次同意將軍購案付委,但是,為了維護黨產私利,在宋楚瑜和親民黨以黨產條例的威脅之下,屢屢悔棄承諾,而和親民黨聯手阻止軍購,不惜犧牲台灣的安全。  國民黨在立法院反對軍購,六十一次了。養一黨之活口,犧牲二千三百萬人的身家安全,犧牲中華民國/台灣的安全,這又如何交代?  「台灣不獨,中共不武」這只是政治理念的辯駁,論的是「是非對錯」,但是,台灣武力升級與否卻是抵抗中共侵略的實質建構,論的是「生死存亡」。關於國家的存亡,不能有些許的怠慢,更不能有些許的自私,否則,豈不是就是將二千三百萬人的生死交在中共的手中?如今是不是,馬英九必須在「黨產的存續」和「國家的存亡」之間作出一個抉擇的時候了?  ●後續新聞:  中共籌建航母 大購戰機  (十月二十六日俄羅斯生意人報)中國將在2010年前建成第一艘航空母艦,十年內擁有一支由三艘航母組成的艦隊,為配合航母艦隊的組建,中國近期將向俄羅斯訂購五十架最先進的「蘇33」艦載戰機,其中二架在年底前會運抵中國。 【軍購國防系列之二】 民主頭家要對自己的身家性命負責 ------------------------------------------------------------- /高達宏  中共阻止台灣向美軍購,除了可以讓台灣的軍備難以升級,加大兩岸軍力的落差之外,更重要的是可以逐漸瓦解台美的軍事合作,聯手防中的意志。  直到現在,已經整整五年,在親民黨和國民黨的聯手之下,台灣已經整整五年無法對美進行軍購。如今美國已經呈現出不耐的心態了。整整五年了,如果美國不賣,或是不賣原本同意的武器,能怪美國嗎?  在這五年之中,台灣國人對於台灣的軍備逐漸落後中共的情況,視若無睹,好似這場可能爆發的兩岸戰爭,是民進黨的戰爭,能不能抵抗中共,防守住台灣,都與他們無關。  在這世界上很難得看得見一個國家的人民,像台灣國民一樣的不在乎,不在乎自己的國家處在中共的軍火威脅之下,不在乎自己的身家性命。  反貪腐是純淨社會所必須,所以大家要戮力以赴,但是,反貪腐並不是國家唯一的事務,國家有個虎視眈眈的外敵存在著,國家安全的重要性,絕對不低於反貪腐。  反對凱子軍購是對的,卻連談都不能談,審核都不能審核的反軍購則是絕對不對的。  我們需要合理的軍購,我們不能完全沒有軍購。  五年來,在台灣沒有看見任何推動合理軍購的團體出現,也沒有看見民間催促軍購的警覺,所以,將來萬一萬一,中共對台灣啟動侵略戰爭,除了責怪反軍購的宋楚瑜親民黨和馬英九國民黨之外,所有沒有認真看待軍購的人都要譴責自己的疏忽和縱容。  因為是大多數人投票把立法的權力交給了國民黨和親民黨。少數服從多數,民進黨無能為力。  以戰不能止戰,但是,當中共發動戰爭的時候,還戰不戰?  還是,台灣人選擇在中共攻打台灣的時候,穿上紅色的衣服,成為紅軍的一份子,以策安全?  或許,我們大家可以很勇敢的拿起菜刀來和中共拼,捍衛自己的家園,不是嗎?  二千三百萬「民主的頭家」,自己的身家性命,要自己負責,不是嗎?  ●後續新聞:  2020年解決台灣問題 中共列時間表 加強對台實戰訓練  (十月二十六日香港)中國軍方人士指出,今年解放軍軍演,加重實戰,以實戰考核部隊,這與以往不同。這種新的軍事訓練考核方式,有力推動解放軍軍事訓練向實戰化方向發展。目的即為因應未來台海可能發生的局勢。  中共籌建航母 大購戰機  (十月二十六日俄羅斯生意人報)中國將在2010年前建成第一艘航空母艦,十年內擁有一支由三艘航母組成的艦隊,為配合航母艦隊的組建,中國近期將向俄羅斯訂購五十架最先進的「蘇33」艦載戰機,其中二架在年底前會運抵中國。 【軍購國防系列之三】 消失的台灣海峽:台灣軍備發展的思考 ------------------------------------------------------------- /高達宏  一˙飛彈發展改變了台海戰略思想  台灣和中國的軍事對抗,是標準的海島國家和大陸國家對抗的模式,也是標準的「點和面」的戰略局勢。  海島國家由於四面環海,屬於易守難攻的地形,尤其是在以陸軍為主的七十年代以前,一般估計沒有六倍以上的優勢軍力,大陸國家是沒有辦法取得勝算。這也是兩岸分隔以來,台灣能夠安然度過數十年的主要原因。  也由於隔著台灣海峽,軍力強大的中國也只能徒呼負負,莫可奈何。在當時的軍種和軍備之下,中國對台灣的「面對點」的優勢,被台灣海峽給抵銷掉了。  可是,時至今日,現代軍事工業的發展已經摒棄了以陸軍、海軍為主的作戰方針,空軍已經成為前期作戰決定勝負的主力,而空軍的發展方向,也從戰鬥飛機第一優先的戰術思想開始轉向,明顯的朝著飛彈優勢的戰略思想前進。  二˙在飛彈行程中,台灣海峽並不存在  飛彈的優勢在於可以突破地形的限制,可以不需要動員人力投入戰場即可以攻擊敵方。而飛彈發展最大的瓶頸「精準度」,在電子、資料分析的快速發展之下,飛彈攻擊的「精準度」已經達到了誤差小於一平方公尺的準確程度。  也就是可以用飛彈在一千公里之外,瞄準你家的門,而且打中。  在這種情況之下也就是說,如今的中國若要對台灣作戰,並不需要動員龐大的陸軍、海軍,只需要實施飛彈攻擊就可以達到所要的戰略目標。這就是這幾年來,為什麼台灣可以安於中國的海、陸軍演習,可以安於中國的戰鬥飛機的擴充,可是,當中國開始針對台灣在福建部署飛彈之後,卻讓台灣上下寢實難安,日日夜夜提心吊膽的最主要原因。  事實上,在飛彈的戰術行程中,台灣海峽並不存在,也就是台灣和中國可被視為是相連在一起的陸地。(以美國的戰略飛彈來說,連太平洋都不存在)。  三˙發展相對的飛彈遏阻力量是唯一的思考方向  如果沒有台灣海峽,那麼,台灣要用何種的戰略來對抗中國的侵略?這是現在台灣軍備發展必須思考的主要方向。  如果沒有台灣海峽,那麼,台灣的防守優勢已經消失,所以,台灣沒有理由繼續採取以防守為主體的戰略思想,台灣在戰略上必須做出大幅度的調整,也就是,採取攻擊為主體的戰略。而所謂的以攻擊為主體的戰略,就是以戰略飛彈來對抗中國的戰略飛彈。  一直以來,台灣的作戰體系都是控制在美國的戰略之下,由於中美協議限制了台灣飛彈的發展,目前台灣本身並沒有足夠的飛彈防禦能力和攻擊能力。  至於美國的飛彈防禦系統仍然是空中閣樓,連自己本土都無法實現,而且耗費極為龐大,台灣如果隨附著美國共同發展飛彈防禦系統,除了台美聯防的政治意義之外,不但沒有戰略作用,而且在台灣目前財經狀況不良的情況之下,更會造成經濟發展的排擠作用。  況且美國本身的主要戰略,是以更強大的飛彈威懾力量,來達到阻嚇的目的,並不是以防禦系統作為主力。台灣要有自覺不能成為美國防禦戰略的試驗台,也要認知美國的嚇阻戰略才是台灣所必須師法的戰略,依循美國的戰略思想路線,絕對是對抗中國威脅最有效的做法。因此,發展攻擊性的飛彈是台灣對抗中國的當務之急的軍事需要。  四˙打擊戰略目標必須發展中長程飛彈  在飛彈可以直接飛躍台灣海峽,無視於台灣海峽存在的情況之下,那麼在雙方沒有人員接觸的情況之下,無法目視的戰爭中,要飛躍台灣海峽直接攻擊中國本土上的目標,台灣需要多長距離行程的飛彈才能達成戰略和戰術的目的?若是按照軍事ˋ政治ˋ經濟的戰略需要來看,台灣要攻擊中國內陸的各處軍事目標ˋ重大建設工程目標ˋ經濟重心上海ˋ政治中心北京中南海,必須具有射程超過一千公里的中程飛彈,才能達到戰略需要。   以目前限制台灣飛彈行程在二百五十海浬以內的飛彈發展協議,顯然已經不能達到台灣目前戰略上最基本的需要,而且從另一個角度來看,很明顯的,在飛彈科技日新月異的現代,中國的飛彈技術急速的進步,而台灣卻被綁住手腳無法追趕,這個協議不但已經對台灣的安全造成了重大的危害,更成為中國的一個安全保障,成為破壞兩岸軍事均衡的重大負面因素。  五˙以台美共同戰略利益,遊說美國  對美國提出「台灣海峽已經消失」的概念,以解除飛彈發展的束縛。  不可諱言的,地面部隊的佔領仍然是軍事行動的最後步驟,然而,佔領之前的軍事行為,空軍仍然是最重要的前期主力。  由於台灣海峽對地面部隊有著「天塹」的阻隔作用,從李登輝總統到現在的陳水扁總統,台灣掌政者和軍事高層,都忽略了十數年間飛彈科技發展所帶來的改變台灣海峽優勢的嚴肅性,所以,時至今日台灣政軍高層仍然沒有對美國提出「台灣海峽已經消失」的概念,據以要求美國解除對台灣飛彈發展的束縛。  台灣應該嚴正的向美國提出發展中程戰略飛彈的必要性的提議。讓美國政府明白中國的飛彈發展已經改變了台灣的海峽防守優勢的嚴重性,並且就此一戰略思想讓美國政府和參、眾議員,明白解除台灣飛彈發展的束縛的必要性。  台灣必須遊說美國政府和參眾議員,讓他們了解,台灣如果和現代飛彈武力的發展過分脫節,在「點對面」的劣勢之下,暴露在中國飛彈之下的台灣並沒有足夠防禦中國飛彈的能力,如果沒有相對的飛彈制衡能力,中國在具有絕對優勢的飛彈攻擊能力情況之下,不但會經常以武力威脅台灣,更有發動飛彈戰爭的可能。  此外,也要讓美國了解,在美國全球戰略中,台灣發展戰略飛彈可以減輕美國軍力部署的負擔,台灣越是具有制衡中國的能力,美國就越不需要在台海附近部署和中國相對的軍力,也就是藉著增強台灣的飛彈武力,相對的免除美國的軍事負擔。  六˙結論:易守為攻  因此,在第一階段,台灣必須認知,當台灣海峽在飛彈的射程中消失的時候,台灣整體戰略思想必須易守為攻,優先致力於解除飛彈發展的束縛,朝著建立能夠和中國相對的飛彈威嚇武力的方向來發展。  (附註:目前由於美國和中共暗中可能朝著「中國減少對台灣的飛彈部署,美國減少對台灣的軍售」的方向協商,在這種情況之下,台灣不論美國將來如何決定,現在就應該開始自行發展攻擊性中長程飛彈,否則台灣將失去對中國的軍力平衡點,也就是逐漸居於相對的劣勢,最後成為絕對劣勢。) http://www.southnews.com.tw 2006.10.30 "" …………………………………………………………………………….

"" "" In the wake of his last book, How Capitalism Saved America, DiLorenzo has returned to Lincoln once more in the brand new Lincoln Unmasked. Although readers should without a doubt read both books, Lincoln Unmasked is in some ways even more incisive and relentless than The Real Lincoln. To get an idea of this latest book’s breadth, consider just some of its chapter titles: "The Lincoln Myths – Exposed," "Fake Lincoln Quotes," "The Myth of the Morally Superior ‘Yankee,’" "An Abolitionist Who Despised Lincoln," "The Truth about States’ Rights," "Lincoln’s Big Lie," "A ‘Great Crime’: The Arrest Warrant for the Chief Justice of the United States," "The Great Railroad Lobbyist," "The Great Protectionist," "The Great Inflationist," "Lincolnite Totalitarians," "The Lincoln Cult on Imprisoning War Opponents," and "Contra the Lincoln Cult." "" "" [snip] The religious veneer of Lincoln’s political rhetoric seared into the American consciousness the idea of the U.S. government as an instrument of God’s will, to be employed without mercy against any force so impious as to resist it. [snip] "" #3. amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/y6sugf "" Thomas J. DiLorenzo, who ignited a fierce debate about Lincoln’s legacy with his book The Real Lincoln, now presents a litany of stunning new revelations that explode the most enduring (and pernicious) myths about our sixteenth president.

The new evidence suggests they held on in Europe's deep south long after the arrival of Homo sapiens. The research team believes the Gibraltar Neanderthals may even have been the very last of their kind. "" "" Our own species, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa, and displaced the Neanderthals after entering Europe about 40,000 years ago. "" "" The Neanderthals survived in local pockets during previous Ice Ages, bouncing back when conditions improved. But the last one appears to have been characterised by several rapid and severe changes in climate which hit a peak 30,000 years ago. These were probably more dramatic in more northerly parts of Europe, where they may have upset the balance between Neanderthals and modern humans, allowing moderns to gain the upper hand. Gibraltar's climate was sheltered from many of these changes, but it did eventually deteriorate. Recent deep-sea core data show that temperatures dropped sharply around 24,000 years ago. This could have created drought-like conditions excessive inbreeding could also have been a factor in their demise. ""

"" Thus, according to Alain Pellet, a Professor at the University of Paris X-Nanterre and a Member and former Chairman of the International Law Commission of the United Nations, the State sovereignty has been restricted rather severely for many years, by the fundamental human rights. 3) Therefore, we, individuals, all are entitled to the fundamental hulman rights, by virtue of the international law, in fact over the State sovereignty. So, Taiwan's sovereignty is rested with us, exercised by the Taiwan de facto State's Republic of China Governemnt, for us, given to it by us, in my estimation. We directly elected and appointed the ROC President, so he is Taiwan de facto State's president. I think, our fundamental soverengty and human rights are violated by the overwhelming international and world States, and directly by PRC and USA, forcing us to keep the title of ROC, its Constitution, and its flags. Under this circumstatnces, it's NOT possible for USA to "resume military trusteeship" over Taiwan, I think. I think, we should support our President and Government to change them as far as possible, WITHOUT causing military confrontation and war from China. """

"" "" The boffin spent 10 years taking samples from 10,000 people around Britain and Ireland and he found people in parts of Mid Wales whose bloodlines stretch back 10,000 or even 12,000 years, to when man first began repopulating Britain after the last Ice Age.

'Myths of British ancestry', by Stephen Oppenheimer: http://tinyurl.com/j969c "" The genetic evidence shows that three quarters of our ancestors came to this corner of Europe as hunter-gatherers, between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago, after the melting of the ice caps but before the land broke away from the mainland and divided into islands. Our subsequent separation from Europe has preserved a genetic time capsule of southwestern Europe during the ice age, which we share most closely with the former ice-age refuge in the Basque country. The first settlers were unlikely to have spoken a Celtic language but possibly a tongue related to the unique Basque language. ""
