July 12th, believe it or not, quotes a so-called art investigator - 'the
Indiana Jones of the art world', no less - as claiming that a half
billion dollar art collection stolen from a Boston, Mass. art museum in
1990, is now in the hands of the IRA.

Rembrandt and a Vermeer, valued at $500 million are now gathering dust
in an IRA art dump? Well, it's obvious isn't it? It's the IRA, so he
gathered his intel in a pub, over what he calls 'Guinnesses'. Where else
could it happen?

way when will Americans learn that the plural of one glass or pint of
Guinness is two glasses or pints of Guinness?` There's no such thing as
'Guinnesses'.

and a presenter to run with this rubbish.

highest-value art from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, leaving
behind empty frames, tied-up security guards and few clues.

No doubt in my mind," art investigator Arthur Brand said. He's described

> China’s Ban On Online LGBTQ Content Likely A Product Of Nationalism
> by Brian Hioe
> by Brian Hioe
> 語言:
> English
> Photo Credit: AFP
> CHINA’S RECENT ban on all online video and audio content regarding
LGBTQ issues is perhaps unsurprising, seeing as this follows on the
heels of a ban on depictions of homosexuality on television. It remains
to be seen as how wide-sweeping or strictly enforced this ban will be,
seeing as some Chinese LGBTQ filmmakers who release their work online
have reported not having their content taken down at present.
> 
> Similarly, China having a rich online ecology of LGBTQ dating apps, it
is to be seen whether these apps will be allowed to continue to operate.
Blued, China’s largest gay dating app, which has 27 million users,
received a multi-million RMB investment from the state-run Beijing News
in February. However, lesbian dating app Rela, which had over five
million users, was closed down in May after controversy regarding the
app promoting an offline “marriage market” for parents to find spouses
for their LGBTQ children, the Chinese state apparently disliking parents
seeking spouses for their LGBTQ children. An LGBTQ conference in Sichuan
was also forcibly cancelled in July.
> 
> Anti-discrimination event in Changsha, Hunan in 2013. Photo credit:
AFP
> The Chinese government has justified the ban as part of broader
crackdowns on “vulgar, unhealthy, and immoral”, deeming homosexuality to
be an “abnormal sexual behavior.” Some have cast doubt upon the
feasibility of enforcing this ban, given how wide-sweeping its
guidelines are, yet it remains quite possible nonetheless that the ban
could have a chilling effect on the LGBTQ community’s ability to speak
out for itself in China.
> 
> In the past, feminist and LGBTQ NGOs sometimes perceived the crackdown
on their organizations as less a product of their specifically being
targeted as feminist or LGBTQ organizations so much as their being
caught in the crossfire of Xi Jinping’s attempt to rein in civil society
organizations of all stripes. At present, China is in the middle of a
period of constricting freedoms for civil society organization, seeing
as the Chinese party-state is in the process of political consolidating
power under Xi and seems to be targeting civil society organizations of
any nature, seeing them all as possible threats.
> 
> In particular, feminist and LGBTQ NGOs in China can be highly
internationalist in their willingness to collaborate with foreign NGOs,
seeing as feminist and LGBTQ issues are often seen by activists as
universal and above the tensions which may exist between nation-states.
But, on the other hand, Chinese NGOs which work with international NGOs
have become a particular target under the present crackdown with the
view that they may be prove a threat, as vehicles for cooperation with
foreign threats to undermine China from within.
> 
> Nevertheless, with increased attempts by the CCP to fan up nationalism
in the apparent view that China has become too influenced by decadent
western influences in the process of its economic opening up and market
liberalization during the Deng period and beyond, this may also be why
the the Chinese party-state is targeting the LGBTQ community. As we also
see in Russia, as another prominent example of a so-called
“post-socialist” country which has seen a crackdown on the LGBTQ
community under conditions of resurgent political authoritarianism,
sometimes the LGBTQ community becomes targeted with the view that being
gay is a product of western influences, that corrupt individuals away
from the patriarchal, heterosexual family, seen as the basis of the
social fabric of any healthy and virile nation-state.
> 
> Celebrations in Taipei following the ruling. Photo credit: Brian Hioe
> Likewise, with the recent ruling to legalize same-sex marriage by the
Council of Grand Justices’ in Taiwan, a de facto independent polity with
its own government, economy, and democratic system of governance despite
China’s claims of sovereignty over it, the Chinese government has taken
to banning comparisons between Taiwan and China in state-run media, as
well as anything which suggests that Taiwan’s political system may
differ from that of China.

> by Brian Hioe

> PERHAPS IN international coverage of Taiwan’s democracy, both with
regard to its history and its present, some clarification is required
about the meaning of Taiwanese democracy instead of simply being happy
that the international media is paying attention to otherwise obscure
Taiwan.
> 
> With recent international coverage about a recent fight within the
Legislative Yuan between KMT and DPP legislators regarding the
distribution of borough chiefs and the broader history of legislative
fighting in Taiwan, many in Taiwan have reflected upon why exactly it is
that Taiwan’s legislature so frequently has fights take place within it.
Indeed, fights within Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan are fairly common, and
international media has a way of occasionally discovering and
rediscovering this phenomenon over and over. Nevertheless, the question
is worth reflecting on as something which probably has ties to the
structural nature of Taiwanese democracy.
> 
> Some deem fights within legislature to be an expression of the highly
polarized nature of Taiwanese politics, with sharp divisions between the
pan-Blue and pan-Green alliances. This has a large degree of truth. The
primary political cleavage in Taiwan is not between the political Left
and Right, per se, but between unification with China or independence
for Taiwan. These are differences in conceptions of Taiwan’s political
division which are inherently oppositional, without a lack of
substantial capacity for a middle ground position which blends both
political poles, as occurs with the Left-Right political spectrum.
> 
> Photo credit: CNA
> This explains in part why pan-Blue and pan-Green political actors
would be willing to lob fists at each other altogether too willingly in
legislature is because their vision of Taiwan’s future are inherently at
odds with each other and each views the other side as an existential
threat. Again, issues of unification/independence are obviously not the
only issue that pan-Blue and pan-Green legislators fight about, but
unification/independence remains the primarily dividing issue between
the two main political camps in Taiwan, and other issues arrange
themselves around this split. Again, the fundamental split within
Taiwanese politics being between unification/independence is a way in
which Taiwanese democratic politics fundamentally differs from other
two-party democracies, and is an unsettled legacy of Taiwan’s
authoritarian period.
> 
> Consequently, there is quite simply no way for Taiwanese legislators
from both political camps to have a collegial relation, as one might see
between members of otherwise rival political parties in other contexts.
One observes, for example, that there is very little political discourse
in Taiwan which touts the benefits of bipartisan politics as a universal
good, although bipartisan does occur within legislature nonetheless.
> 
> Yet, likewise, it is because of Taiwan’s only recently
post-authoritarian nature which fights break out so often in
legislature. As the KMT was the former ruling party during the
authoritarian period and the DPP was the political party which formed
out of the democracy movement which fought against the KMT, blood was
literally split in battle between the two sides for Taiwanese democracy
to be established. It is no surprise that antagonisms continue to exist
between both sides in addition to that the pan-Blue and pan-Green camp
have at heart fundamentally oppositional political visions.
> 
> Likewise, seeing as the democracy movement seems to have enshrined the
crucial role of the mass movement in Taiwanese politics, the fact that
pan-Blue and pan-Green political actors literally fought each other
during the period of KMT authoritarianism and the rising democracy, at
far greater intensity than occasional fisticuffs in legislature,
probably also contributes to why political violence is somewhat
normalized in even electoral politics. Taiwanese democracy, after all,
was realized in struggle.
> 
> Indeed, returning to the fact that discussion upon why the Taiwanese
legislature so frequently descends into fights between legislator as

> 
> This is the story that Anna Rose Alexander tells in _City on Fire:
> Technology, Social Change, and the Hazards of Progress in Mexico
> City, 1860-1910_. The first chapters trace the development of a
> professional fighting apparatus in response to the city's changing
> urban environment. Initially, municipal leaders hoped that
> civic-minded men from the upper classes would volunteer for duty as
> part-time firefighters. Although Alexander does not specifically
> mention it, this scheme echoed the voluntary militias--often headed
> by these selfsame elite males--that conferred honor on their members.
> Whether because militias represented more attractive propositions or
> simply because the hard, sooty work of firefighting did not appeal to
> the comfortable classes, the volunteer brigades never thrived. In
> quintessential Porfirian fashion, city administrators concluded they
> should emulate their counterparts in the United States and Europe by
> forming a full-time professional firefighting corps kitted out with
> European-style uniforms and imported machinery. Alexander shows that
> firefighters sometimes came under suspicion for fishing property from
> victims or using antiquated tactics but that they often succeeded in
> their primary duty of saving citizens' lives and property.
> 
> One of the book's key analytic strengths is Alexander's ability to
> enfold the history of fire with that of technology and professional
> expertise. She examines the appearance of safety-minded building
> codes, including the 1888 municipal legislation that addressed
> theaters, whose admixture of electric lights, combustible film, and
> large crowds could all to easily lead to tragedy. With new
> regulations came new building inspectors composed of the ubiquitous
> _ingeniero_, those educated professionals so emblematic of the
> Porfiriato. Alexander shows that, like the firefighters themselves,
> inspectors both mitigated potential disaster and ignited passive
> resistance. Another set of experts employed by the Sanborn Fire

> States Get Safety Report Cards: Winners and Losers
> by Jordan
> It's report card time and states are lining up to get their grades
from the National Safety Council.The State of Safety: A State-by-State
Report graded states in three categories: Road Safety, Home Safety and
Workplace Safety.  No state received an overall "A" grade, but several
states received "Bs," including the state in which I live (Maryland),
the state in which I was born (Illinois), the state in which I grew up
(California) and the state where my sister lives (Oregon.)  Just sayin'.
> 
> NSC President and CEO Deborah Hersman, noting that preventable deaths
are at an all-time high, said “Safety is no accident. We lose more than
140,000 people because of events we know how to prevent. This report
provides states with a blueprint for saving lives, and we hope
lawmakers, civic leaders, public health professionals and safety
advocates use it to make their communities measurably safer.”
> 
> The study found that, nationally, more than 146,000 people died last
year from preventable accidents, a 7 percent increase over 2014.
> 
> We here at Confined Space world headquarters are, of course, most
interested in the workplace safety area where only two states, Illinois
and Washington, received "As." B's went to Colorado, Minnesota,
Maryland, DC, Oregon, Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
> 
> The worst states for workplace safety, according to the NSC, are
Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming and
Kansas.
> 
> States were graded on three categories for workplace safety:
Prevention, Preparedness and Enforcement (50%); Workers Compensation
(25%) and Worker Health and Wellbeing (25%)
> 
> Prevention, Preparedness and Enforcement took into account such items
as whether a state had requirement for health and safety programs and
health and safety committees, as well as public employee OSHA coverage,
workplace violence laws and "existence of multi-line telephone system
enhanced 911 program for employers."  The report notes that OSHA
estimates that establishing safety and health programs can reduce
injuries by 15 to 35% for employers that do not currently have a
program.
> 
> I didn't know what an enhanced 911 program was. Turns out it "provides
dispatchers with precise caller location within a building or campus
when a landline is used and ensures swift first response in case of an
emergency."  OK, I'll buy it.
> 
> The Workers’ Compensation category looked at key measures like maximum
benefits and length of coverage, and Worker Health and Well Being looked
at states' ability to control key workplace environmental risk factors
by implementing drug-free and anti-smoking laws, as well as workplace
wellness laws.
> 
> OK, well that was fun. My main quibbles would be that I don't think
any state should receive a passing grade (certainly not above a "C" if
they don't provide OSHA coverage for public employees. I would
definitely knock Colorado, New Hampshire and Washington DC out of the
"Bs." And I have issues with the Drug Free Workplace laws -- depending
on what they say, how they're administered and what safeguards they have
to ensure that they aren't used to retaliate against workers for
reporting injuries.
> 
> Oklahoma came in 41 out of 51 in the workplace safety and health
category and their Labor Commissioner, Melissa McLawhorn Houston, is
pissed!  Houston objected to the state's "F" grade on workplace safety
and wrote a letter to the NSC it to revise Oklahoma's grade. "Oklahoma's
public sector incidence rate, 3.8 per 100 workers, is lower than the
national average at 5. The Oklahoma Department of Labor also provides
free, confidential safety consu> OK, so this does not impress me. With no OSHA 
law, it's hard to trust
any public sector injury and illness rates. And every state "provides
provides free, confidential safety consultations," which are, by the
way, 90% funded by federal OSHA.
> 
> I'm not sure if Houston offered to stay after school or do extra
credit, but my general feeling is that if she has nothing better to do
than conduct media interviews and write letters complaining about her
NSC grades, the state has bigger problems.
> 
> So for you delinquents out there,  get back to work. Lives are at
risk.  Buckle down. There's always next year.

> recycling will provide a much-needed solution to environmental

> Environmental Images_ investigates the role this recycling logo and
> other iconic environmental images played in the "making of popular
> environmentalism" in the United States (p. 1). Organized both
> thematically and chronologically, the book's fifteen chapters address
> a wide range of visual material produced since the 1960s, from Pogo
> comic strips and Hollywood movies like the _China Syndrome_ (1979) to
> news coverage of Three Mile Island and Earth Day.
> 
> _Seeing Green_ offers important insights into various ways these
> images worked to prioritize specific environmental narratives and
> forms of activism. As Dunaway explains, these works successfully
> expanded the public's awareness of particular issues and generated
> concern by appealing to viewers' emotions and visualizing scientific
> knowledge. At the same time, they failed to address important causes
> of our environmental troubles or present a full range of potential
> solutions. For Dunaway, these omissions point to the limitations of
> the appeals, as well as mainstream approaches to environmental reform
> more broadly.
> 
> Many of the images Dunaway addresses, for example, place the
> responsibility for environmental reform and stewardship on the
> individual, ignoring broader, systemic causes of our environmental
> problems. They urge individuals to recycle or conserve energy, for
> instance, but rarely address company packaging practices or critique
> the government for inadequate regulation of industry. Likewise, by
> focusing on individual responsibility, these images disregard some of
> the more far-reaching solutions offered by activists and others. They
> present, in essence, a limited vision of environmental responsibility
> and citizenship, one shaped by unequal power relationships and
> structural inequities.
> 
> In the last section of his book, Dunaway considers the increasing
> prevalence of neoliberal, consumerist approaches to environmental
> problems that perpetuate this belief in individual responsibility. As
> he explains, these campaigns suggest individuals can address
> environmental issues through green consumerism, by buying organic
> foods for example, or boycotting products like canned tuna that have
> been associated with fishing practices that kill dolphins. These
> appeals, however, disregard the fact that some "green" consumer
> choices are too expensive for all but the wealthy or upper middle
> class. They also prioritize immediate reform efforts over long-term
> solutions, particularly those that challenge the basic structures of
> capitalism or dominant national narratives.
> 
> Throughout _Seeing Green_, Dunaway pays attention to the various ways
> these environmental images intersect with social justice issues like
> race and class. As Dunaway notes, a number of the images under
> discussion use white, middle-class children and adults to suggest
> "universal vulne> consequences of environmental degradation. In doing so, they
> disregard the disproportionate effect environmental problems have on
> poor communities, minority groups, and specific laborers. Dunaway
> offers a number of examples, including gas mask imagery, posters
> warning of pesticides in breast milk, and media campaigns focused on
> the danger of Alar on apples. As he explains, these appeals ignore

> A MARCH AGAINST Asia Cement’s mine on Truku indigenous lands in and
surrounding Taroko National Park today, with over 2,500 in attendance.
The march began in front of the Executive Yuan at 3:30 and, after
marching for an hour down Zhongshan South Road, finished on Ketagalan
Boulevard in front of the Presidential Residence at 4:30, where a number
of tents and a stage for musical performances had been set up. The two
central demands of demonstrators, which served as protest chants during
the rally and were also printed on signs handed out to participants were
for an end to the Asia Cement mine and reform of the mining industry,
but more general demands underlying the demonstration were the call for
broader environmental protections in Taiwan and social justice for
Taiwanese indigenous.
> 
> Photo credit: Brian Hioe
> Apart from speeches and musical performances, demonstrators set off
smoke bombs and played sounds of mining in front of the Executive Yuan
to represent the loud noises which are constantly produced by the Asia
Cement mine, in spite of the constant disruption to the lives of
indigenous residents living nearby. On Ketagalan Boulevard,
demonstrators formed the shape of the island of Taiwan, citing recently
deceased director Chi Po-Lin’s documentary Beyond Beauty: Taiwan From
Above, and the need to defend protect Taiwan’s environment as a whole.
Participating organizations include Third Force parties such as the New
Power Party, Social Democratic Party, Green Party, and Trees Party, a
number of environmental organizations as the Green Citizen Action
Alliance, the Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association, and other
organizations. The main organizer of the demonstration was the Citizens
of the Earth, Taiwan.
> 
> Asia Cement’s mine on Truku indigenous lands is one of the long
running issues in the struggle for social justice for indigenous in
Taiwan going back several decades, as an emblem of the injustices the
ROC government has inflicted upon Taiwanese indigenous. While Truku
indigenous, as with other indigenous communities, should by
constitutional law hold the rights to their land, oftentimes it is that
Taiwanese business take advantages of legal loopholes to appropriate
indigenous land for commercial development, sometimes with the backing
of the local government. 
> 
> Smoke bombs being set off outside the Executive Yuan. Photo credit:
Brian Hioe
> This would certainly seem to be the case with Asia Cement’s mine in
Taroko National Park, in which suspicions have been raised about the
legitimacy of the documentation with which Asia Cement justifies
ownership over the land, and in which the Truku people have been unable
to achieve the restoration of their land rights because ROC government
actors have shunted responsibility for who has jurisdiction over the
land between the local, county, and central government. In this light,
Asia Cement’s development in Taroko National Park goes back to the long
history of indigenous being forced off of their lands by Han Taiwanese,
seeing as it is very likely that any “documentation” from several
decades ago supposedly proving that the Truku people agreed to give up
their lands to Asia Cement may have been bound up with forcible coercion
from government or commercial actors. Accordingly, the legal case filed
against Asia Cement has lasted over fifteen years without firm
resolution, including past attempts by the government to pass off a
false resolution to the issue, low settlement payouts to affected
residents of the area even in cases of deaths caused by accidents from
the mine, and pollution to the drinking water of local residents. 
> 
> As always, rampant developmentalism and the crony capitalism of local
government actors willing to work with corporations for their personal
benefit remain unresolved issues in Taiwan, and all the more so when it
comes to Han Taiwanese treatment of Taiwanese indigenous. The Asia
Cement mine proves not only disruptive of the daily lives of the Truku
and a violation of their sovereign rights, but also destructive of the
environment in which they live

> IT IS A strange paradox to observe the recent phenomenon of
nationalistic Chinese netizens scoffing western critics of Donald Trump
on issues as immigration, minorities, LGBTQ, and the environment as
naive members of the “white left”. Obviously, it is that for Chinese
nationalists, the greatest obstacle in the way of China’s global rise is
America. But nationalists of all stripe think alike and they recognize a
kindred spirit in Trump.
> 
> It such, then, that one also sees why Chinese nationalists, despite
sometimes referring to themselves as “leftists” because of China’s
ostensibly status as a “Communist” country, scoff at those in China who
concern themselves with the same issues taken up by the international
Left, again, such as immigration, minorities, LGBTQ, and the
environment. Namely, for such nationalists, this gets in the way of what
should be the primary concern for China today--attempts at strengthening
national power. They think this to be true of any other country, as
well.
> 
> And so, while Trump may be the enemy, with his slogan of “America
First”, with his casual demands for obeisance from all other countries,
and even suggesting that he would consider direct extraction of oil from
Middle Eastern countries, he also represents a model to be emulated for
China. Indeed, the parallels between Trump’s strongman style of
leadership and his dependency on a family network to support him draws
parallels to the CCP’s style of rule. Some have pointed out in recent
times, for example, that Trump’s use of his children and their spouses
as lieutenants within his administration is highly reminiscent of the
phenomenon of Chinese “princelings” groomed for government positions by
their politically powerful parents--as his use of his political position
to benefit his family’s financial empire. Chinese citizens have not
failed to notice the similarities.
> 
> Photo credit: Derzsi Elekes Andor
> On the other hand, those concerned with social issues as immigration,
minorities, LGBTQ, the environment, and other such causes are scoffed at
by Chinese nationalists, whether these are members of the so-called
“white Left” or individuals in China who take up such issues, But one
also suspects that this sense of anxiety also ties into the fact that
concern with immigrants, minorities, LGBTQ, the environment and similar
social issues are never specifically national issues. The
internationalist left has a way of cooperating beyond borders in a way
that nationalists not only find foolish and irrational, but also
probably fears to some extent.
> 
> There are nationalists both left and right. Likewise, not all
nationalisms are cut from the same cloth; forms of civic nationalism
tend to be rather harmless, even if there always remains the danger that
relatively mild civic forms of nationalism may unpredictably transform
into ethno-nationalism. And, again, “leftism” has particular nuances in
China, in which the claim of the Chinese government to be a socialist
government sometimes leads “leftism” to be associated with Chinese
nationalism. But whether across the world or just within the Sinosphere,
right-wing nationalists tend to think similarity. For example, while
Chinese nationalists find themselves at loggerheads with Hong Kong
independence advocates who embrace a right-wing form of Hong Kong
nationalism exclusionary of Chinese on ethnic grounds, they, too are
sometimes dismissive of the “leftards” they think of too hung up on
issues as social equality or social justice. One can draw similar
comparison to Chinese nationalists scoffing at the “white left”. And
such individuals also see common ground with Trump, or the tide of
right-wing separatism sweeping Europe with, for example, some, more
right-leaning advocates of Hong Kong independence praising Brexit in the
UK and seeing this as a model for Hong Kong to withdraw from China in a
manner which will serve to expunge Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong. 
> 
> But, of course, the mockery of the “white left” by Chinese
nationalists or of “leftards” by
