Why Its Big Bet On Westinghouse Nuclear Is Bankrupting Toshiba

http://www.theecologist.org/News/news_round_up/2988820/toshibas_nuclear_flagship_goes_bust_after_10_billion_losses.html
Toshiba's nuclear flagship goes bust after $10 billion losses
... Bloomberg noted yesterday: "Westinghouse Electric Co., once
synonymous with America's industrial might, wagered its future on
nuclear power - and lost."
... The same could be said about Toshiba, which is selling profitable
businesses to stave off bankruptcy. Toshiba said yesterday it expects
to book a net loss of $9.1 billion for the current fiscal year, which
ends on Friday - a record loss for a Japanese manufacturer.
... The BBC noted that Toshiba's share-price has been in freefall,
losing more than 60% since the company first unveiled the problems in
December 2016. Toshiba president Satoshi Tsunakawa said at a news
conference yesterday: "We have all but completely pulled out of the
nuclear business overseas."
... Nugen's other member, the French energy company Engie (formerly
GDF Suez) has also gone on record as wanting to extricate itself from
the Moorside project in favour of the 'new energy' economy based on
renewable, storage and smart grid technologies.
... The French government is selling assets so it can prop up its
heavily indebted nuclear utilities Areva and EDF. The French nuclear
industry is in its "worst situation ever" according to former EDF
director Gérard Magnin.

Inside The Secret Pedophile Marketplace
Infowars reporter Millie Weaver takes us on an in-depth investigation
inside the internet black market known as the 'dark net' or 'deep
web'. With the aid of an anonymous source who has used their expertise
in computer technology to assist the FBI in investigations regarding
the sexual exploitation of children, Infowar Reporter Millie Weaver
exposes the where and how pedophiles, traffickers and travel clubs use
the internet as a marketplace to indulge in nightmarish perversions.

Many puzzle pieces are fit together. A new term is introduced that we should familiarize ourselves with: Kakistocracy : Rule by the very worst.

For God's sake, tell it like it is : a young girl in India was forced to take off her bra to attend a state-conducted entrance examination. This seems more like an exercise to get youth used to high intrusion by the state.
>> a cut-down version of this, cutting out mention of the extreme cases, made it to their national archives:

tribal's torture
... "I have seen the torture. The tribal girls were given electric
shocks on their breasts and wrists. I have seen the marks and I was
horrified. Why are such small tribal girls being subjected to
third-degree torture? Our constitution and law system do not allow
such inhuman torture. It's time for us to introspect and the truth
will come out. The people getting killed on both sides (during the
Maoists-Security forces conflict in Bastar) are Indians. The
capitalistic system is being forced into Bastar, villages are being
burnt, tribal women are being raped. Is it really being done to end
the Maoism?"
>> again, look at the title. This is a WHISTLEBLOWER case, revealing inhuman atrocities committed by the State.
... Ms. Dongre could not be reached for her reaction despite repeated attempts.
>> Obviously, because she's probably DEAD already, or threatened, or beaten up or raped or tortured herself now that she's been suspended and the cops she exposed can go after her with the same powers they have over the tribal girls they've been torturing. Dear Editor, instead of protecting this whistleblower you have published her photo (obviously swiped off her social media account without her permission.. and you did mention you couldn't contact her) with her full name and basically outsourced her murder. Feeling proud?

Clintons' Latest Ties To Child Trafficking In Haiti Exposed
Infowars Reporter Millie Weaver covers the latest in child trafficking
busts which, once again, point towards the nefarious operations of the
Clinton Foundation in Haiti. Just this weekend, and a little over one
day prior to a major child trafficking bust in Haiti, the Clinton
Foundation announced that it would be cutting operations in Haiti.
This followed soon after the announcement that Federal Prosecutors are
seeking child porn charges against disgraced Democratic Representative
Anthony Wiener, the ex-husband of Clinton's former chief of staff and
vice chairwoman for the Hillary Clinton Campaign, Huma Abedin. Less
than a week ago, 474 arrests were made in a Statewide Human
Trafficking bust in California which rescued 28 children and 27 adults
that were victims of sexual exploitation.

is right, it is one of the most extreme surveillance laws ever passed
in a democracy. The IP Act will have an impact that goes beyond the
UK's shores. It is likely that other countries, including
authoritarian regimes with poor human rights records, will use this

Soros Expands Efforts to Keep "Net Neutrality" Censorship

>> this is some tricky wording. What the establishment implies by "net neutrality" is that they should get to censor out the things that go against their worldview. Those voices they designate as hate speech etc, and on the pretext of protecting neutrality, destroy it. Lost in this melee is the long-cherished liberty principle that at the end of the day you have to trust the public at large to consider whatever's been put out before them and make their own damn mind. To not trust that, to assume that the majority can be brainwashed and thus needs to be protected against their own free will, starts us down the path to dictatorship, and it seems that's where the western left-wing, liberal-left is going, esp the captains of internet like google, twitter, facebook, reddit, snopes etc.

... "This threat to WikiLeaks escalates a long-running war of
attrition against the great virtue of the United States — free
speech," the letter continues. "The Obama Administration prosecuted
more whistleblowers than all presidents combined and opened a Grand
Jury investigation into WikiLeaks that had no precedent."
>> DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT OBAMA? He prosecuted free speech while making everyone believe he's for change, is liberal etc etc.
... "A threat to WikiLeaks' work — which is publishing information
protected under the First Amendment — is a threat to all free
journalism. If the DOJ is able to convict a publisher for its
journalistic work, all free journalism can be criminalised."
... "We've had no communication with the Department of Justice and
they have not indicated to me that they have brought any charges
against Mr. Assange," Pollack said. "They've been unwilling to have
any discussion at all, despite our repeated requests, that they let us
know what Mr. Assange's status is in any pending investigations.
There's no reason why Wikileaks should be treated differently from any
other publisher."

Assad, Putin Closer Than Ever To Retaking Aleppo; Families Returning
Home For First Time In 4 Years
<dec 2016>
... Vladimir Putin spoke with Donald Trump on the phone six days after
his victory on November 14th. Hours after their phone call was over,
Putin proceeded to bomb the hell out of Aleppo and wage total war.
... In just around two weeks time, Putin and Assad managed, in the
words of the IB Times, to "bomb their way to victory" in Aleppo.
Today, we learn they've reportedly retaken 35 districts in the city
and corralled ISIS and other rebel terrorists into a remaining five.
... Russia said its Syrian government allies had taken control of five
more districts of Aleppo, and had now seized 35 districts from the
rebels during an advance that has changed the course of the conflict.
... The government now appears closer to victory than at any point
since 2012, the year after rebels took up arms to overthrow President
Bashar al-Assad in a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of
people, made more than half of Syrians homeless and created the
world's worst refugee crisis.
... The rebels' loss of the eastern half of Aleppo, Syria's largest
city before the war, would be the biggest victory of the conflict so
far for Assad, securing his grip on all Syria's main cities.

"Unprecedented" Cyber Attack Hits 2 Lakh Computers In 150 Countries;
India 3rd Most Affected
... Once the information is encrypted, a message is displayed on the
screen declaring the same and asking the user to pay USD 300 (in
Bitcoin) if they wish to retrieve their data. Phishing emails employ
"worms" to spread the attack in a local network. If even one of the
computers in a local network is compromised because of a phishing
email, the worm spreads rapidly and automatically encrypts data in all
computers in the network. This is why Friday's attack spread so
rapidly across the world.
... WannaCry swept across Europe and Asia quickly, locking up critical
systems like the UK's National Health Service (NHS), a large telecom
in Spain, and other businesses and institutions around the world, all
in record time.
...Many commentators criticised the US National Security Agency (NSA)
for having indirectly caused the attack. The NSA had prior knowledge
of the Windows loophole that the hackers exploited on Friday, but the
agency did not disclose this loophole as they planned to exploit the
same themselves to their benefit. This exploit, known as EternalBlue,
was stolen by a group of hackers, who made it freely available in
April. The perpetrators of Friday's attack used EternalBlue to
engineer the fast-spreading worm.

'Accidental hero' halts ransomware attack and warns: this is not over
... But the spread of the attack was brought to a sudden halt when one
UK cybersecurity researcher tweeting as @malwaretechblog, with the
help of Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint, found and
inadvertently activated a "kill switch" in the malicious software.
... "I was out having lunch with a friend and got back about 3pm and
saw an influx of news articles about the NHS and various UK
organisations being hit," he told the Guardian. "I had a bit of a look
into that and then I found a sample of the malware behind it, and saw
that it was connecting out to a specific domain, which was not
registered. So I picked it up not knowing what it did at the time."
... The kill switch was hardcoded into the malware in case the creator
wanted to stop it spreading. This involved a very long nonsensical
domain name that the malware makes a request to – just as if it was
looking up any website – and if the request comes back and shows that
the domain is live, the kill switch takes effect and the malware stops
spreading. The domain cost $10.69 and was immediately registering
thousands of connections every second.

After Overthrowing A Corrupt President, South Koreans Peacefully Elect A New One
... Furthermore, the snap election was contested by 13 candidates, the
most crowded contest in the country's electoral history. Despite this,
the winner, Moon Jae-in, won with a comfortable 41% of the vote, 17
percentage points ahead of the runner-up, the largest difference in
South Korean history. The election also saw record voter turnout of
almost 80%, fuelled by a surge of younger voters.
... Moon Jae-in is a former human rights attorney and student
activist. He belongs to the Democratic Party of Korea, and his ideas
have the potential of altering the dynamics of South Korean polity and
international geopolitics when it comes to the delicate conflict on
the Korean peninsula. The South Korean election will have extensive
international geopolitical ramifications
... The South Korean people gave a stinging endorsement of democracy
in the past months. South Korea itself is a young democracy: the Sixth
Republic began only in 1987. Young as it may be, South Korean
democracy has also proven to be inclusive and vibrant. In 2016, as
reports of Geun-Hye's corruption surfaced, millions of South Koreans
took to the streets to demand her impeachment. Thanks to the country's
activist media and passionate protestors, Geun-Hye was impeached,
prosecuted, and consecutively arrested.
... The entire process was democratic and transparent; the transition
to power itself happened in the span of a few weeks.
... A vigilant media, participatory politics, swift and sure justice,
and leaders held accountable for their actions – these are the traits
of a healthy, functioning democracy. South Korea has checked all the
boxes.
>> this is awesome. Shows it CAN be done, and a nation can change tracks PEACEFULLY in a very short time. But there's more to the scandal..

https://thelogicalindian.com/news/farmer-markets/
Thanks To Deregulation, Farmer Markets In Maharashtra Now Earn Rs 5
Crore Each Week
... According to NITI Aayog, this phenomenal increase in outputs and
profits for farmers is thanks to the government's move last July to
take fruits and vegetables out of the purview of the Agriculture
Produce Market Committee (APMC) Act. This deregulated the farmer
market and gave more power and autonomy to farmers to sell their
produce without the hassle of countless middlemen.
>> can the leftist fold reconcile with this? Their usual drive is towards regulating everything, for the farmers' "protection". Turns out those protective measures were what was killing them, and removing them can give farmers a fresh opportunity to thrive. Earlier it was retailers like Big Bazar etc who were being allowed to buy directly from farmers and that was being criticized. Understandably so, as they could use single large buyer power to bargain and hoard. But simply going forth with deregulation the whole way, and making farmers free to sell to whoever they want.. ie, farmer-centric deregulation vs retailer-centric deregulation, seems to be what worked. The leftist paradigm would have simply stopped the retailer deregulation and kept the farmers locked in APMCs.

Petition launched by fans to bring back popular conservative sitcom
... The sudden announcement led many to suggest that the decision
could have been political given the TV show's overt
conservative-leanings.
... "It was the third most watched ABC scripted series overall behind
Grey's Anatomy and Modern Family," Andreeva wrote.
... ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey told reporters Tuesday
that the cancellation stemmed merely from the decision to stop airing
comedy shows on Fridays.
>> BULLSHIT.
... Allen has made numerous headlines in recent months for discussing
the treatment of conservatives in liberal-dominated entertainment
industry. In March during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the
comedian jokingly made comparisons between Hollywood and "30s
Germany."
... "I'm not kidding. You gotta be real careful around here. You get
beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes," Allen said.
... "What I find odd in Hollywood is that they didn't like Trump
because he was a bully, but if you had any kind of inkling that you
were for Trump you got bullied for doing that," said Allen.

... Similar expropriation measures have been proposed in Berlin, the
German capital, but abandoned because they were deemed
unconstitutional.
... "The plans of the Berlin Senate to requisition residential and
commercial property without the consent of the owner to accommodate
refugees is an open breach of the constitution. The attempt by the
Senate to undermine the constitutional right to property and the
inviolability of the home must be resolutely opposed."

by chance saw me in the restaurant, and decided to teach me a lesson
...I should have seen it coming. After all, my visit had triggered a
firestorm of abuse in the Icelandic press, all based on American
Leftist talking points. Every story about my visit had the same
elements: the notice that the SPLC claims that I purvey "hate speech,"
which is a subjective judgment used to shut down dissent from the
establishment line; the fact that I am banned from Britain, with no
mention of the key detail that I was banned for saying that Islam has
doctrines of violence (which is like being banned for saying water is
wet) and for the crime of supporting Israel; and the false claim that
I incited the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik to kill (in
reality, I'm no more responsible for Breivik's murders than the
Beatles are for Charles Manson's). After the event, one article even
featured a big photo of Breivik, but quoted nary a thing I said that
evening.
... Not a single Icelandic media outlet that ran a story about my
coming or about the event itself contacted me for comment, much less
for rebuttal to the charges they made against me. One TV station did
air an interview with me in which the interviewer refused to believe
that I did not feel responsible for the Breivik murders, and asked me
about them again and again.
... After the event, articles in the Icelandic press included quotes
from the 50 protesters, but none included even a single quotation or
description of anything we had actually said. None quoted any of the
500 brave Icelanders who braved the hatred of the politically correct
elites to come to the Grand Hotel to hear me and Ms. Williams – a
staggeringly large number in a country of 300,000 people.
... It's clear: jihad and Islamization are not subjects that Icelandic
politicians and media opinion-makers want Icelanders to discuss.
That's all the more reason why it must be discussed.
... But meanwhile, I learned my lesson. The lesson I learned was that
media demonization of those who dissent from the Leftist line is
direct incitement to violence. By portraying me and others who raise
legitimate questions about jihad terror and Sharia oppression as
racist, bigoted Islamophobes, without allowing us a fair hearing, the
media in Iceland and elsewhere in the West is actively endangering
those who dare to dissent.

Reuters Admits: "No Evidence of Collusion" Between Trump and Russia
Report completely demolishes left's Russia conspiracy narrative
... However, the true substance of the story is buried down in
paragraph six. "The people who described the contacts to Reuters said
they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the
campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far," states the
report.
... Despite no evidence whatsoever having been presented of Trump or
anyone on his campaign colluding with Russia to influence the
election, the deep state and the Democratic establishment is
intensifying its effort to portray Trump as illegitimate.
... As we document in the video below, this is likely to lead to
widespread civil unrest in major cities later this summer, with the
DNC already funding a giant "Summer Resistance program" that will set
off a chain of violent demonstrations across the country.

Rate of Recovery of Bad Loans of Public Sector Banks Falls Further in
2016-2017 (India)
... Unless the government takes steps towards improving this rate of
recovery of bad loans, no serious achievements can be made on this
front. One particular point that the lawyers who deal with such things
have been making is the lack of debt recovery tribunals and the fact
that the ones that are there are not adequately staffed. This is
something that can easily be set right.
... Without addressing this point, any other moves to clean up the bad
loans of public sector banks, will not achieve much. These other moves
will basically end up postponing the resolution of the problem, which
is pretty much what they have done up until now.
... Large corporates who have taken on the loans and defaulted on it,
should not be allowed to get away scot free. Given this, it is very
important that the institutional mechanisms required to improve the
rate of recovery of bad loans are firmed up and banks are allowed to
do whatever it takes to recover bad loans from large corporates in
general and crony capitalists in particular.

The Knives Come Out for Trump
...The president is charged with chatting with the former FBI director
about ongoing investigations. Maybe he even suggested, sotto voce,
that it might be good for Mr Comey's career if he eased up on the
investigation of Trump's former national security adviser, Mike Flynn.
These things hardly seem newsworthy, let alone impeachment worthy.
Most people yawn and turn the channel to WWE wraslin'. It's more
entertaining. And more authentic.

Of "Shaky" Demonetisation Statistics, Arun Jaitley and Black Money
... Now compare the 91 lakh additions in 2016-2017 to 76 lakh
additions in 2014-2015, and suddenly the number doesn't seem too high,
given that no demonetisation was carried out in 2014-2015.
... As per Jaitley's statement 91 lakh individuals were added to the
tax base post demonetisation, which is incorrect. Meenakshi Goswami,
Income Tax Commissioner and the official spokesperson of the Central
Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT), told NDTV later in the week that "91
lakh was the total number of new taxpayers enrolled in the financial
year 2016-2017."
... Now compare the 91 lakh additions in 2016-2017 to 76 lakh
additions in 2014-2015, and suddenly the number doesn't seem too high,
given that no demonetisation was carried out in 2014-2015.
... Even if the government doesn't do anything, taxpayers get added
every year, especially when the minimum tax slab continues to remain
the same. In 2014-2015, the minimum tax slab was Rs 2,50,000, which is
where it continues to be. This basically means that inflation alone
would have ensured that more people came into the tax bracket and thus
increased the tax base.
... Hence, the total amount of undisclosed income or black money
identified by the income tax department in 2016-2017 stood at more
than Rs 31,211 crore.
... It is safe to say that in inflation adjusted terms more
undisclosed income was identified by the income tax department in
2012-2013 than in 2016-2017. In 2013-2014, the number stood at Rs
1,01,182 crore, which is significantly more than 2016-2017. And it is
worth remembering here that these numbers happened without
demonetisation. In fact, as the numbers clearly show the efficacy of
the income tax department when it comes to identification of black
money has come down since 2014-2015.
>> IT dept has been catching lesser undisclosed income since the change of ruling party in 2014.

>> a look at the other side of the reclaiming indigenous land rights movement. It seems we all too often forget that the "evil" people that "stole our land" died precisely some years after doing so, and the present people, be they descendants or people who bought it over, are NOT to blame for the actions of people dead long long ago. The more I see, the more I feel that the push should be about SHARING the land between both present occupiers and descendants of past indigenous occupiers, rather than the latter simply taking it away and creating a new disenfranchised class. In this particular case, the land being contested is THOUSANDS of acres! There's more than enough room to accommodate EVERYBODY - the present, old and new.
