How the tentacles of the US military are strangling the planet
The #UnitedStates has more than 50,000 #troops in #Japan as well as a very large contingent of #ships and #aircraft. Seventy percent of the #US #bases in Japan are on #Okinawa island. Almost everyone in Okinawa wants the US #military to go. Rape by #American #soldiers – including of young children – has long angered the #Okinawans. Terrible #environmental #pollution – including the harsh noise from US military #aircraft – rankles people. It was not difficult for Tamaki to run on an anti-US-base platform. It is the most basic demand of his constituents.#antiwar #antimilitary #anti-war #peace #propeace #pacifist #CloseTheBases #pacifism
But the #Japanese #government does not accept the #democratic views of the #Okinawan people. #Discrimination against the Okinawans plays a role here, but more fundamentally there is a lack of regard for the wishes of ordinary people when it comes to a US military base.
...
For decades now, Okinawans have complained about the creation of enclaves of their #island that operate as places for the recreation of American soldiers. Photographer Mao Ishikawa has portrayed these places, the segregated bars where only US soldiers are allowed to go and meet Okinawan women (her book Red Flower: The Women of Okinawa collects many of these pictures from the 1970s).
There have been at least 120 reported rapes since 1972, the “tip of the iceberg,” says Takazato. Every year there is at least one incident that captures the imagination of the people – a terrible act of #violence, a rape or a murder.
What the people want is for the #bases to close, since they see the bases as the reason for these acts of violence. It is not enough to call for #justice after the incidents; it is necessary, they say, to remove the cause of the incidents.
...
The US military has a staggering 883 military bases in 183 countries. In contrast, Russia has 10 such bases – eight of them in the former USSR. China has one overseas military base. There is no country with a military footprint that replicates that of the United States. The bases in Japan are only a small part of the massive infrastructure that allows the US military to be hours away from armed action against any part of the planet.

Make no mistake, I know iPhones are the best mobile devices in the world, but when what I see as the utterly failed UK ‘Test & Trace’ scheme spends millions of pounds on the devices, you have to ask why. And this is an angry post.Failure on top of failure.
This week, researchers have responsibly disclosed a vulnerability by exploiting which they could access over 100K private records of United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).

The government was operating an illegal “buy British” policy when it signed contracts with a small UK firm to supply Covid antibody tests, claim lawyers who have filed a case against the health secretary.#Covid-19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic #UK #government #Tories #crime
The Good Law Project said there were a number of other companies in a better position to supply antibody tests in June and August, when the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) agreed deals worth up to £80m with Abingdon Health without going out to tender.
The government had also agreed a deal to share in the profits the company made, the lawyers say.

I've been passed the government's "reasonable worst case scenario planning assumptions to support civil contingencies planning for the end of the transition period".So this is not the worst that can happen? So just how bad is it going to get?! And they're putting us through all this in the middle of a pandemic?!
The 34-page document (sent to be my Twitter's @mi6rogue) describes itself as a "challenging manifestation of the risk in question" but "not an extreme or absolute worst case scenario".

UK's Network Rail is going open data with status on lifts and escalators for 3rd party apps - More governments need to do this!
The hope is to let travellers know in advance before they travel or in sufficient time before they alight, whether they can haul their wheelchair or a baby's buggy to a station without ending up fuming and sweating at the foot of an escalator that's been out of service for years.
With almost 1,500 lifts and 300 escalators dwelling in 500 stations around the country, the body is promising to provide real-time updates which can be plugged into the creations of any enterprising app or web developer by means of an application programming interface.
Many governments promise open data but never really deliver it, and I won't embarrass the one I know of here. A good example is the City Of Cape Town though with a portal with 60+ open data sources on it.

Brexit has exposed the political nature of the economy. But don’t be fooled into believing that the Brexiters will reverse the policies of the last 40 years. They are not economic nationalists, nor do they care about economic sovereignty or about rebuilding the nation. They are not Lexiters in disguise, rediscovering the 1970s Brexiter nationalist politics of Tony Benn.#politics #UK #Brexit #government #economics #Tories
They are radical Thatcherites, who have to believe that the British economy has been turned into a world-beating one by Thatcher’s policies.
This Brexiter government is pursuing its political goal, whatever the economic cost, says the historian and author David Edgertonwww.theguardian.com
