Subj: 台灣是應該另起爐灶!
台灣是應該另起爐灶! 首先, 從認識自己是誰做起.
過去, 我和大部份人一樣, 有這樣錯誤的認知
台灣人的祖先從大陸中原逃難到福建廣東, 再渡海到台灣
台灣人是華夏子孫, 龍的傳人….
因此, 我全盤接受5000年悠久歷史文化, 自我連結中國
因此, 我對來自中國的國民黨政權多方包容, 甚至姑息
其實, 八十五％的台灣人是帶有台灣原住民的血緣
我們不應該阿Q 認同中國
我們必需驕傲宣揚台灣特殊的主體文化
馬偕醫院林媽利教授的研究點醒了我, 解開了台灣人認同的困惑
1.台灣有 7.3％的人是屬於米田堡（Miltenberger）血型。泰國也有，長江以北的外省人沒有，日本人也沒有，所以長江以北的外省人是跟日本人比較接近。阿美族最高，88.4％，還有卑南族 21％，蘭嶼的雅美族 34％，長江以南的外省人是 4.3％
2. A33-B58-CW10- DR3 只有在台灣的閩南人、客家人會有相當高的頻率，新加坡、泰國的華人也都一樣的出現，但在別的族群少見，白種人沒有。研究的結果，閩南人和客家人是屬於南亞洲人種，這結果就剛好配合民族史的記載，台灣人是大陸東南沿海原住民「越族」的後代。
台灣人最常見的 A33-B58-CW10- DR3 是被完整保留下來的古代越族的基因。
3. 母系血緣是看外祖母的血緣，父系血緣是看內祖父的血緣，從組織抗原可以看到外祖父及內祖母的血緣，在一百人當中只有三十三人的父母系血緣全部來自亞洲大陸，其他六十七人的父母系血緣是混合了台灣原住民、東南亞島嶼族群及亞洲大陸的血緣。
分析這三十三人的組織抗原半套型的來源，看到十八人帶有台灣原住民的基因，十人帶有中國東南沿海越族特徵的基因，二個西南亞洲基因及各一個北方漢人、藏人及歐洲人的基因，所以根據三個系統的分析，八十五％的台灣人是帶有台灣原住民的血緣，所以是平埔公、平埔嬤、唐山公、唐山嬤，還有高山公、高山嬤及少數外國基因一起建構了非原住民台灣人的基因。
3. 我們常常講「福佬話」，據說是以前在閩越地區客家人稱呼閩人是「福佬人」，而來的。「河洛話」是 1955 年 政府的政策要說台灣的族群是從北方來，所以把它講成「河洛話」，1955 年「河洛話」這個名字才出現，事實上是「福佬話」。我們研究的結果，和慈濟骨髓登錄發表的統計分析一樣，還有中國學者組織抗原的研究結果，和中科院發表的完全一致……
4. 中科院在 1991 年和美國史丹福大學的 Cavalli-Sforza 一起研究的結果：只用姓氏就可以把整個族群的距離、關聯顯示出來，而姓氏是代表Ｙ染色體的遺傳, 這個研究結果很漂亮。他是從 28 省，抽出五十四萬人的姓氏做出來的，另外他用 ABO 血型等，非常簡單的五個血型，把福建、台灣，「越族」的地方，完全分開來了；中國北方的族群和南方的族群是不一樣的族群.

'終於將美國務院拉上最高法院' ◎ 林志昇, The Liberty Times, 自由廣場, Jul8,2009:
http://tinyurl.com/Lin-v-USA-7-8
: "" 二○○九年七月六日上午十一時（當地時間），美律師肯浦親自將「林志昇等控告美政府案」向美最高法院「遞件」，法院受理，美最高法院對「文書」要求嚴格，首先，規定文字不得超過九千字，規定紙張跟格式，字型與字體都必須符合要求，甚至，律師團須讓「專業」打字公司作業，真是開了眼界，法院一年接受八千五百個案子，其中「提審」一百五十件，這次是台灣人的首次。
本案與律師團共同研究下，一致認為被高院「提審」的可能性非常高，第一：自從一八九八年美西戰爭後，經過一百多年，沒有被美軍事政府佔領，至今還沒有得到「身分」的地區，訴求美政府「欺負」的案例。第二：地方和高等法院，不得以「政治問題」躲避或迴避，其對本土台灣人在「條約下」或「憲法下」之權利，負有「解釋」上的義務。第三：最高法院解釋憲法案子，都有政治上的涉及，而解釋條約也同樣，最高法院的任務是要從法律的角度去審理，不是從政治角度，而且，最高法院有權力解釋總統所簽的協議書，也經常解釋國會通過的法律內涵。第四：美國最高法院曾判決，憲法有關戰爭事務與外交事務，其重點放在總統決策上，但是，有關個人的權利，是由行政與立法及司法三方面去斟酌，而確立憲法下個人基本人權保障，這是司法問題，不是政治問題。第五：本案訴求：地方與高等法院認定「本土台灣人無國籍」，因此，憲法第五修正案，包括美國核發的旅行證件；第八修正案，本土台灣人「不能落為」無國籍，第十四修正案，不能剝奪生命自由和財產，除非有正當法律程序；第一修正案，台灣人民向美國政府陳情的基本權利。
台灣絕對不會是美國的五十一州，本案是要求美國讓本土台灣人（people of Taiwan），依照聯合國憲章第七十三條的「自治self-government」精神，協助成立「台灣平民政府」，而不是讓「台灣關係法」的「台灣人people on Taiwan」繼續以模糊的「台灣當局Taiwan authority」，讓本土台灣人生活在「無國籍」、「無政府」跟「政治煉獄 in political purgatory」中。（作者為「福爾摩莎法理建國會」成員，http://taiwancivilgovernment.ning.com/） ""

' 邀扁作証 法理建國會投震撼彈 '
http://tinyurl.com/A-Bien-Lin-v-USA
: "" (記者林蓮華/羅斯密市報導)「林志昇等控美政府案」，於7月2日呈文美國聯邦最高法院，由於美國最高法院採文書申論作業，因此林志昇等人同時申請「聽証會」，而第一位証人列名邀請前陳水扁總統，無疑在僑界又投下一顆震撼彈。
針對此案進展，2日(週四)，南加州、北加州、及日本同步舉行記者會聲援大表支持，希望陳前總統能勇敢地為國、為民、為後代子孫三思，簽下「聽証出席同意書」。
當日，會員及鄉親紛紛慷慨陳詞，希望一旦最高法院受理時，阿扁能挺身而出作証，重新帶領台灣人，衝破美國法官所說地「政治煉獄」的牢籠。
這招是否能為阿扁目前面臨司法不公「解套」? 屆時，真的能來美國作証嗎?「福爾摩沙法理建國會」南加分會會長蔡明法指出：「証人需簽下同意書，但阿扁現在更怕馬政府變本加厲『抄家滅族』、甚至危及自身安全，有所顧忌還在考慮中。但我們大家期待他能慎重地為大局思考，『台灣地位的真相』他比任何人最能感同深受，台灣的未來，也許在法理上而非政治上，經過聽証會，能夠有機會在國際上，被公平的對待。」
他說明此案來龍去脈，林志昇等人控告案，經美國聯邦地方法院2008年3月18日裁定、高等法院2009年4月7日判定，「台灣人無國籍、無被承認的政府，人民生活在『政治煉獄』。」但兩層級法院最後皆以「政治問題」迴避解釋權，但鼓勵依法可上訴。
林志昇等人遂於2009年7月2日上訴最高法院，蔡明法解釋：「之前美國高等法院挑選受理案件的比例是0.003，一千件只挑選3件，幸運地我們通過受理；如今，再到最高法院上訴的案件多是極具爭議性，主旨是讓9位大法官釋憲，受理比例也是0.003-0.005。」
一旦聯邦最高法院受理，未來的審判結果，將成為各級法院援用的判例，具有指標性作用。林志昇等人在上訴書強調，此案件法院有義務從法律角度審理，而非政治角度。
最高法院因應此案的方式，包括駁回、案件發回高等法院，及受理。若是上訴此案能放著一年半載，反而是「好徵兆」，拉得越久，表示最高法院正慎重考慮，台美兩方糾葛的法律問題所代表的意義。
「福爾摩沙法理建國會」秘書長曾輝光認為，自1945年，64年以來，美國的附屬土地歸屬案件，目前沒有最新判例，台灣是二次世界大戰「美日太平洋戰區」軍事管轄遺留下的問題，加上最近伊拉克、波多黎各等情事，此案「可看性夠」，預計法官接受審理機會大增。
但是，這與陳水扁總統有何關係? 原來，最高法院只接受「書面」資料，為文只得精簡扼要，因此，同時申請『聽証會』，將有助於讓其間原委多個機會全面釐清。而陳水扁前總統是2006年訴訟案開始時當時在位總統，對於美國是不是台灣「政治藏鏡人」? 美國幕後影響台灣有多深? 陳前總統最清楚，所以邀請他做第一位証人，未來，也許還會邀請李登輝前總統。
據理力爭，萬一被駁回或發回，與會代表都認為，「輸也是贏、贏也是贏」，所謂” 輸” ，美國必需承認台灣不屬其管轄範圍，屆時議題將重回日本國土，也為此案後續發展，留下伏筆。
不論同意或喜歡與否，歷史的真相只有一個，若有興趣關注細節者，歡迎聯絡蔡明法 ""

' 台灣定位官司 將上訴美最高院 ' 更新日期:2009/07/03 04:09
http://tinyurl.com/Lin-v-USA
: "" 〔記者謝文華／台北報導〕林志昇控美案將於美國時間六日由律師親自遞狀上訴美國最高法院。福爾摩莎法理建國會今天上午十一點，同步於美國、日本召開四場國際記者會。
美國過去已有三十二個成功判例，透過最高法院判決，釐清戰後美國佔領區主權爭議。此案創下首次有台灣人為了爭取主權、人權，控告美國政府，更罕見獲美國聯邦地方法院、高等法院接下審理，一路打到最高法院，深受國際關注。
舊金山記者會由旅美同鄉會成員王榮義、李登輝之友會美西婦女部主委黃惠瑛負責；洛杉磯場次由民進黨美西主委蔡明法召開；大阪及東京記者會，分別由大阪日台交流協會理事長野口一、日本腦科醫師曾根憲昭主持。
原告林志昇說，他要求最高法院聽證會傳訊前總統陳水扁作證其執政八年，美國運作台灣主權事實，經陳家人答覆，陳前總統看過同意書不敢簽，怕全家遭政治追殺。
林志昇認為，舊金山和約並未確立台灣主權歸屬，美國為台灣主要佔領權國，至今擱置台灣主權爭議，導致台灣人人權遭受侵害，美國應儘快扶植台灣平民政府建國。
聯邦地方法院去年三月十八日判定：「台灣人無國籍」；高等法院今年四月七日判定：「台灣人無國籍、無被承認之政府、人民生活在政治煉獄。」法院文書可見網站http://taiwancivilgovernment.ning.com/。
其上訴最高法院理由在於，地方法院和高等法院，不得以「政治問題」躲避或迴避，其對個人在「條約下」或「憲法下」所屬之權利，並負有「解釋」上的義務。

"" Protests greet U.S. minesweepers 美日聯手「防」台？
Ishigaki mayor asked Obama to cancel port visit
By Chiyomi Sumida, Stars and Stripes
Pacific edition, Sunday, April 5, 2009
Denver Applehans/Courtesy of the U.S. Navy
Sailors from the deck department of the USS Patriot, a minesweeper, haul lines Friday to moor the ship to the pier at the Ishigaki port facility. The Patriot and the USS Guardian arrived Friday for a three-day port visit. Their arrival was attended by nearly 100 protestors objecting to the visit.
A goodwill port visit by two U.S. Navy minesweepers at Ishigaki was greeted Friday by a ripple of protesters who blocked the port gate and demanded the vessels leave.
About 100 protesters rallied Friday morning near the pier, preventing about 84 sailors aboard the ships from disembarking and Navy and local officials from entering the dock, said Ishigaki police and port officials.
The island, 465 miles southwest of Okinawa, is home to about 48,000 residents and is a popular tourist destination.
The 7th Fleet minesweepers USS Patriot and USS Guardian, both out of Sasebo Naval Base, Japan, arrived around 8:30 a.m. Friday for a scheduled three-day liberty call, said Lt. Cmdr. Denver Applehans, spokesman for the Amphibious Force Seventh Fleet public affairs.
"They can certainly protest," Applehans said. "We believe in freedom of speech just like the Japanese do."
The sailors are scheduled to participate in a community service project and cultural events, but residents have said the presence of warships makes them nervous.
The U.S. visit sparked a protest campaign launched last month by Ishigaki Mayor Nagateru Ohama, who said the military presence would disrupt the port’s commercial and tourist use. He even wrote to President Barack Obama.
The port call, initially scheduled April 1-3, was pushed back by two days after Ohama objected, saying the space had been scheduled for cruise ships.
Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima said in a statement Friday that the port should be strictly for commercial use unless there is an emergency.
Protesters rallied for nearly nine hours, voluntarily clearing out and dwindling in numbers to around 20 before the gate was opened around 5 p.m., city port officials said. Police reported no injuries and no arrests.
U.S. consul general to Okinawa Kevin Maher was at the port to welcome the ships and help coordinate an exchange between local government and U.S. Navy officials, said consul spokesman Thomas Kreutzer.
"It is absolutely ordinary. We do ship visits all over Japan all the time, so this isn’t anything special," Kreutzer said.

美日聯手「防」台？
◎ 賴怡忠
近日媒體大幅報導美日有意駐軍與那國島，認為這是針對中國軍力擴張，以及回應島上居民的請求。但進一步分析，駐軍與那國島更可能表示美日對台灣未來戰略動向的疑慮，與其說針對中國，不如說是針對台灣！
與那國島的位置在緯度上與花蓮十分接近，天候好時甚至從該島可目視花蓮，其居民常在假日到花蓮購物，也有子女來花蓮唸書，可說是距離台灣最近的日本領土。因與那國被花蓮屏障，既不面對中國，與菲律賓更有相當距離，但卻要加強軍力，理由只有兩種可能。
第一，是美日認為台海出現衝突的機會非常高，開戰後中國進出台灣東岸的可能性很大，因此需要在花蓮東側的與那國強化部署。這意味馬政府有關兩岸緊張降低，台海情勢已穩的主張，美日並不買帳，所以才在花蓮外海積極佈兵以備萬一。
第二，是美日認為馬政府的台灣出現根本的戰略轉向，美日必須對未來與中國發生衝突時台灣可能和中國站同邊，先預作準備。事實上，從去年馬政府表示在釣魚台議題考慮發動對日戰爭，並有意縱容國民黨「聯中制日」的呼聲，國安會更主張放棄制空與制海的消極防禦，以及最近刻意抵制日本代表的作為等，不僅日本懷疑馬政府的戰略動向，美國戰略圈也開始質疑台灣的芬蘭化。在這個思考下，「美日同盟」無法將台灣視為盟友。既然台灣可能會與對手合作，花蓮曾扮演的屏障作用消失，與那國不僅成為衝突前線，更須用以監視台灣作為。
不論美日駐軍與那國島，是基於擔心台灣還是要監視台灣，都與馬政府的宣傳不符。年底日本將公布防衛政策大綱，明年更是美日同盟五十週年，屆時美日意圖將更明朗。但從美國P3-C反潛精密偵測儀器在台組裝承諾跳票一事可知，台北已成為戰略不確定因子。在馬政府親中遠美反日政策的操作下，台灣從美日合作的朋友，變為要防禦的對象，與那國的美日佈兵似預告改變的第一步！ （作者為台灣智庫執行委員）

[Tsai 09.7.1=3 #1] Ron, thank you for classifying me as a Tawanese aboriginal. Lately I have been back into our "old home" in the USA, 4th or 5th: 1st hometown Hsinbu, 2nd city nearby Hsinju, 3rd 1st Taipei Two-city St., 4th Fremont, CA, USA or 5th, 5th 2nd Taipei Neihu (Inner Lake district of Taipei). My small family used to live here with my parents. Then dad gone, so did sister-in-law in LA. So mom moved to LA . Lately, we are preparing for our dad's centennial art exhibition in Taijung (Taiwan Center city). So we gathered at this Fremont home, brother went back to Neihu home first, leaving old mom here, I started to stay here day and night, getting this better computer and Internet connection.
I still don't know what blog exactly is, but I have been using it as I don't have Ron's brain. Day after day I put my memory into my blog, helping me to respond to emails and so on. The latest input is about our old character, Representative Ron Paul from Texas, who is up seriously over Fed, without being in the minority or the only one as usual. It looks like there is a limitedless space in a blog. In comparison to very short Twitter or NetFace? Yes, there is Obama, and there is still Paul, how strange can we get! This is not cross inputting, but please refer to Conflict forum.
So I have time to compile important documents for brother to take to Taiwan first, as a list, but becoming a rather detailed dad's and family's biological chronology, including historical items on Taiwanese non-government local self-rule roots, and Taiwanese peoples dna hereditary oceanic roots. For example, from the beginning of my chronology:
山地有９族，、顯示平埔族在４–７０００年前上岸，也成９族 《血統源流與國家定位》：沈建德，２００１、２、２８，１８–２１頁。

With mountains and rivers and rich soils, Hsinbu had become the last refugee place of the many northern Hakka Taiwanese, escaping from ethnic arm conlicts: Ethnography, p.597-9. ... There had never been such arm conflicts in Hsinbu, p.594.
Manchu ruled Taiwan for 212 years, 1683-1895. Soon after that rule began, the ethnic Chinese went back to the mainland year after year, and in 1688, only thousands left in Taiwan: Origins, p.33. ... ... And Pingpu and Mountain peoples had increased to 970,000 and 1330,000. Ching had prohibited the Chinese to come to Taiwan often, and at the same time set up classes to teach the aboriginals to speak the Chinese dialects of Hoklo and Hakkas, taking over Chinese surnames, began to worship occean goddess of the mainland, Matzu.

""Dear All:
How do you think about this article??? Something that we do not know is behind us and controls the Formosan affairs???
Who knows more details????

Bank for International Settlements (Financial Stability Board in Basel, Switzerland)
http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/BIG-BROTHER-IN-BASEL-DID-by-Ellen-Brown-090623-171.html
The article in the link provides more evidence that Bilderberg International (Bank of International Settlements/Financial Stability Fund) is behind ROC and TI movement. Their HQ is in Switzerland (see the picture). This may explain why Switzerland court supported ROC’s claim over the sovereignty of Taiwan last year. They are behind TI and self-determination under ROC, knowing that it is not the real government and they can control it from behind the scene without legal consequences. They are watching and oppose Lin’s group, but may change their position if the lawsuit moves forward. "View from Taiwan " may be their website.
A more serious problem is Bilderberg-USA wants to control USA ’s and all other major countries’ money supply through Obama’s economy team, which proposed to expand the role of its international counterpart, (BIS/FSF), and disguised it as a global financial regulatory agency. BIS/FSF has caused at least a major financial crisis in Japan and other similar crises in Southeast Asia and South America . Even Paul Krugman, the Nobel-prized economist whose theory is the backbone of Obama’s economic recovery plan, called for a total replacement of Obama’s economic team members, which cannot regulate the group they belong to. What’s scary is the Congress’s hearing on the Federal Reserve Bank sounded weak.
On the 3rd page, there is a short review of law about legally binding treaties under the US Constitution and what the president of USA can do based on his sole decisions. I wonder if this can apply to the passport issue.
Feed back or brain storming, Please???

'BIG BROTHER IN BASEL: BIS FINANCIAL STABILITY BOARD UNDERMINES NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY' Ellen Brown, OpEdNews.com:
http://tinyurl.com/BIS-Overlords
: "" Buried on page 83 of the 89-page Report on Financial Regulatory Reform issued by the U.S. Administration on June 17 is a recommendation that the new Financial Stability Board strengthen and institutionalize its mandate to promote global financial stability. Financial stability is a worthy goal, but the devil is in the details. The new global Big Brother is based in the Bank for International Settlements, a controversial institution that raises red flags among the wary . . . .
... ...
... " more disturbing is the description by Dr. Carroll Quigley of the pivotal role assigned to the BIS in consolidating financial power into a few private hands. Professor Quigley, who was Bill Clinton’s mentor at Georgetown University, claimed to be an insider and evidently knew his subject. He wrote in Tragedy and Hope (1966):
“[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.”
That helps explain the alarm bells that went off among BIS-watchers when the Bank was linked to the new Financial Stability Board (FSB) President Obama signed onto in April. When the G20 leaders met in London on April 2, 2009, they agreed to expand the powers of the old Financial Stability Forum (FSF) into this new Board. The FSF was set up in 1999 to serve in a merely advisory capacity by the G7 (a group of finance ministers formed from the seven major industrialized nations). The chair of the FSF was the General Manager of the BIS. The new FSB has been expanded to include all G20 members (19 nations plus the EU). The G20, formally called the “Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors,” was, like the G7, originally set up as a forum merely for cooperation and consultation on matters pertaining to the international financial system. But its new Financial Stability Board has real teeth, imposing “obligations” and “commitments” on its members. "

Dear all:
由李丁園這篇文章可以窺見, 在臺灣的高級中國人階層過去60年是多麼地岐視及糟踏臺灣人. 其他階層再怎樣一輩子努力工作, 待遇都會不如一個高級中國人中的王八蛋, 例如劉兆玄. 可是只要臺灣人(包括新住民之中不認同中國者)稍有異議, 他們就會指責你 “撕裂族群, 挑撥是非”…
陳水扁被無限期羈押及葉盛茂被判刑10年的例子, 讓我們認清了在臺灣的高級中國人其實是比中共更殘酷的畜牲. 就因為如此, 他們才會被其他的中國人趕出境. 臺灣人要認清高級中國人絕對非我族類, 要有革命的準備. 我們要效仿南非的種族革命, 詳細條列這些高級中國人的名單, 澈底消滅他們!

Correcting common misstatements of the lawsuit
(Ref: Opinion letter by the Court of Appeals dated April 7th, 2009)
From: R P
美國上訴華府巡迴法院裁定了﹕The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in Lin v USA decided:
1。美國美麗島依照舊金山和平條約已由日本割讓於美國。
The United States Territory of American Formosa was ceded by Japan to the USA in the SFPT (what the Court says, perhaps the Petitioners are correct and a careful parsing of the treaty would show....).
2。所謂未來美國美麗島地區或美國法律術語”台灣“之處置尚未決定﹐非台灣現狀
未決定﹐現狀為以上第一點所稱為美國擁有之現狀法理主權 。
The meaning of the expression that there is an undetermined status refers to the future tense in a predatory, hortatory, or intentional mode, as to "Taiwan", and does not mean the de jure status quo in the present tense is in any way undetermined at all, the first numbered sentence above states the present de jure status quo of Formosa within the sovereignty of the USA.
3。日本於條約明定割讓給美國﹐並非未明定割讓何國﹐未明定之為將來所稱“台灣”
行使自治時之未來走向處置﹐尚未定而已。
Japan clearly declares cession to the US , and there is no ambiguity in this respect, the only undetermined matter is where " Taiwan " will head in a future disposition according to principles of self-determination, in the future which is obviously as yet undetermined.
4。主權沒有模糊﹐卻主權無論何地﹐沒有無主任歸屬之狀態。
Sovereignty is never ambiguous, and there is no land without sovereign title, and sovereignty is always determinable and ascertainable.
5。美麗島是美國所屬(領)土﹐其人民需要效忠美國﹐其所設美國軍事政府卻所稱
“台灣”或“中華民國”或”中華民國 (台灣) “行使美國有效管轄統治行為時﹐需要遵守美國憲法於尚未合併為美國憲法第14條修正案或美國移民與海關相關法則所
稱“境內”之前的相關規定包括不得由檢察官二度控告刑事訴訟(一審審判無罪﹐不
得由檢察官提出上訴二審之)等違反我國憲法事項行為。
Formosa is territory appertaining to the US, the people of which owe their allegiance to the US, and the US military government thereon which is called by the nomenclature of "Taiwan" or the "Republic of China" or the "Republic of China(Taiwan)" is the name by which the US governs Formosa, and in such capacity, when so governing, must abide by the applicable US Constitutional fundamental provisions for unincorporated territories prior to applicability of the 14th amendment for territory within the United States or the several states whereof or within the customs or immigrations statutory definitions of the being within the US for those purposes, such as forbidding prosecutors on Taiwan from engaging in appeals which constitute double jeopardy in criminal cases after an acquittal in the first trial or other unconstitutional acts.
6。美國政府所屬領土之如何統治係美國國會可決定之﹐國會尚未行使憲法權力時﹐則以美國總統為統帥由其任命之方式統治之﹐但也需要遵守美國憲法相關規定等義務。
The territory of the US is governed ultimately at the discretion of the Congress, but until such times as the Congress may act, the President as Commander in Chief may exercise all necessary military government authorities, as may be otherwise fully in conformity with the US Constitution.
7。中華民國不代理美國或為美國統治﹐中華民國本就是美國統治美國美麗島之名稱而已。
The "Republic of China" does not represent the US nor serve as a governing agent for the US , the "Republic of China" is merely the name by which the United States of America governs the United States Territory of American Formosa.

'Why Do They Just Giggle?' Butler Shaffer, author of "Life Is Destroying the Planet!"
http://tinyurl.com/StateDiseases or
http://www.lewrockwell.com/shaffer/shaffer192.html
: "" ... ...
In more recent discussions of the destructive nature of governmental regulation of the marketplace, or the evil nature of the war system, or of efforts by statists to bring virtually all forms of human activity under political control in order to "save the planet," I am greeted with the same snickering."" ...
The answer, I suspect, is to be found in our conditioned practice of identifying our sense of being with institutions. (I dealt with this topic in my first book, Calculated Chaos: Institutional Threats to Peace and Human Survival.) ... ... we train ourselves to look for meaning in our lives not within ourselves, but in external organized systems that have a vested interest in having us elevate their purposes above our own. It is this practice that is the midwife to all forms of collectivism.
An institution is an organization that has become an end in itself, a condition that can arise only through our thinking; only by regarding the collective as of greater significance than ourselves. We do this through learning to identify ourselves through what Fritz Perls called "ego boundaries," which may embrace our nationality, race, gender, ideology, or other belief systems. By so identifying our sense of purpose and meaning in these abstractions, we set ourselves up to be dominated by the institutions which, we are told, represent such groupings. Whatever individuality we might otherwise have becomes subservient to – and subsumed by – the institutions that thus become our collective identity.
The principal beneficiary of such thinking has been the nation-state. Through years of careful conditioning – conducted through such agencies as the government schools and the entertainment industry – we have been taught to regard the state not only as the fundamental organizing principle, but the raison d’etre for both human beings and society. We learned to recite our daily catechism of purpose to our lives in the form of a "pledge of allegiance" to a flag that was the omnipresent and dominant symbol of the state in our classroom. (Have you ever dissected the literal meaning of this pledge; that you are vowing to become and remain subservient to state authority?)
The media and the rest of the entertainment industry join forces with the schools to provide us a consistent indoctrination in the centrality of statism. We learn to regard obedience to constituted authority as our greatest virtue; to replace morality with legality as our personal standard of conduct. War films – starring the likes of John Wayne, who managed to keep himself out of World War II – brainwash us to believe that dying for the glory of the state is our glory; the concrete meaning of the U.S. Army’s advertisement to "be all you can be, in the Army."
The sadness as well as the unmitigated evil of such practices are reflected in the faces of World War II military veterans, who are trotted out for every holiday – each of which has been converted into an excuse for more war-celebration and John Wayne flicks – to speak of the sacrifices they and others made. To such men – identifiable with their "U.S.S. Missouri" baseball caps, or their "5th Army" shoulder patches – any suggestion that this war was carefully contrived by political and corporate interests, and that FDR manipulated the attack on Pearl Harbor, is met with rage, and understandably so. Having been conditioned to identify themselves with the state, to see their very sense of being tied up with obedience and service to the state, the slightest hint that political forces had conspired to exploit them does more than question the integrity of the state: more importantly, it creates uncertainties as to one’s own moral stature. ""
... ...
"" On a sadder note, at a time when more soldiers are committing suicide than are dying in battle, it is well to remember that, no matter how thoroughly indoctrinated the belief in the superiority of an abstraction, there remains within each of us a powerful life-force that can never be fully repressed. What Gandhi called Satyagraha – a "Truth-force" or "Soul-force" – remains deep within us as, perhaps, the greatest power at work upon each of us. The state – and the civilization it is helping to bring down – will continue to fight this life-force in every conceivable manner, not simply in the war system, but in efforts to regulate even the most miniscule details of life’s expressions.
When the minds and the spirits of men and women combine to address, with intelligence, what we have done to ourselves – and are doing to our children and grandchildren – we may be able to walk away from our roles as servo-mechanisms to state and corporate power interests, and to discover how to live according to that life-force within each of us. To those unable or unwilling to confront the wickedness implicit in their robotic existences, there will be nothing but unfocused anger and giggling to accompany their trip into the awaiting black-hole.

: """ According to Independent Long Island’s Historian James Alcock (he is also our High Commissioner to Canada), when the British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which elevated Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland from colonies to autonomous dominions within the British Commonwealth (not fully independent because their people were still British Subjects), it also gave them the right to secede from the British Commonwealth. They could just declare their independence and leave! They all had the right, but none chose to exercise it at that time. In fact, they all willingly fought on Britain’s side during World War II.
In 1948, Burma seceded after becoming independent, and Ireland seceded in 1949, just before the creation of the Commonwealth of Nations. So the legal right already present in the Statute of Westminster of 1931, was exercised a bit later on. The London Declaration of 1949, which set up the Commonwealth of Nations, recognised the member countries as fully independent, so they had the right to leave the Commonwealth at any time because they were free and independent nations. They could even leave and return. South Africa, Fiji and Pakistan left and rejoined later.
It is interesting to note that the right to secede from the old British Empire was granted in 1931 to the autonomous parts, a full 18 years before the modern Commonwealth of Nations was created in order to accept a fully independent Indian Republic. ""

迎接最喜樂光明的台灣國
2. 2011年9月9日 3000位勇士

建國制憲－台灣人唯一活路
台灣人至今尚未建國、制憲，台灣人必須建國，制定一部屬於台灣人的台灣國憲法，以台灣國憲法建構台灣國體制，組成台灣國政府，再以台灣國政府，代表台灣人在國際社會，行使台灣國國家主權。這理由非常明顯，因到目前為止，台灣人在中華民國體制下，無論是個人、團體或政府代表，一出海關，就受到蹧蹋、凌辱，猶如無照流動攤販，在國際社會的商場中討生活，到處遭受取締一樣，過著沒有國家主權尊嚴的流浪生活。這就是因為中華民國體制在作怪。
中華民國本是中國的政權，自1949年10月1日起，已被中國共產黨所建立的中華人民共和國政府推翻消滅了，中華人民共和國的人民也自認中華人民共和國為自己的國家並代表中國。其後，中華民國在聯合國的中國代表權，於1971年10月25日，被中華人民共和國政府取代，而自己則被逐出聯合國。自此，流亡到台灣的中華民國政府，在國際社會上終止代表中國，降格淪落為不是國家的政府，或頂多是一個準國家政府的組織型態。這流亡到台灣的外來中華民國政府，以其外來的中華民國憲法與政府體制，非法佔有台灣又統治台灣人。其公權力的行使，僅及於台灣境內而不及於境外，只能享有內政主權，沒有享有外交主權。因此，中華民國不能算是一個國家，只能算是一個有效運作的政府。
我們常在鄉村訪問農夫農婦說：「阿伯、阿嬸，恁欲做中國人抑是台灣人？」他們都會異口同聲答：「當然嘛是欲做台灣人」，又問：「那按呢，恁欲做中國的台灣人，抑是中華民國的台灣人？」他們也說要作中華民國的台灣人。再問：「那是按呢！恁欲做中華民國台灣人，抑是台灣國台灣人？」他們會困擾的回答：「甘有台灣國？」我們回答說：「如果有台灣國的話，甘有欲做台灣國的台灣人？」他們會很乾脆的說：「若是有台灣國，當然嘛是欲做台灣國的台灣人。」這是基層台灣人普遍的心聲，不僅如此，我們也多次以同樣方式，與國中、高中、大學生等對話，所得結論也是一樣。台灣人的國家名稱，應該叫台灣國，這是簡單道理的普通常識，為什麼藍綠政黨，都不願傾聽人民的心聲，都懼談、懼怕宣佈建國、制憲？
我們要繼續推動1951年9月8日，舊金山和約，日本宣佈放棄台灣主權起，台灣主權即歸屬於台灣人，9月8日，就是台灣主權獨立日，每年9月8日要辦升旗典禮，推動各地方升國旗，家家戶戶插國旗的運動，以提升台灣人的國家意識及建國意志。我個人最近赴美國，在東岸駐留約一年的期間，有機會搭公車、火車或在住家附近社區散步時，有很多感觸，但感觸最深的，莫過於飄過眼前的美國星條國旗，每經過一段路程，就飄現那搶眼的圖騰，有時一連幾棟建築物門前，都有國旗掛在直直的旗杆上，剛開始，以為是公務機關掛的旗，仔細看清楚，才知道大部分都是私人住宅及商店掛的國旗，每看在眼裡，想在心裡，為何美國獨立了二百多年，還有那麼多人想掛國旗？而臺灣人四百多年了，卻還無國旗可掛？國旗是國家主權的象徵，國旗插在那裡，國家的尊嚴就在那裡，國民的榮耀，也在那裡，因此，屢屢發生許多國家的國民或士兵，為了護旗甚至犧牲生命的感人故事。但，已經喪失主權國家身份的，所謂「中華民國的國旗」，自1971年10月25日起，就被禁止出現在國際社會，更離譜的是，有時也被禁止在台灣境內出現。讓台灣人在境內、境外都抬不起頭來，活在無旗可護的環境，失去做為台灣人的尊嚴。所以，台灣人要趕快建國制憲，終結中華民國體制，將台灣人國旗插遍國內土地，將台灣人的國旗掛在聯合國大廈門前國旗排桿上，與世界193個國家平等做朋友，共享主權國家尊榮。
歷史上的1620年冬天，一艘五月花號船，自英國搭載200名不甘受英帝國迫害的英國人，經歷66天，千辛萬苦的橫渡大西洋，從朴茨茅斯登陸時只剩下104人，登陸後一年只剩下53人，他們尋找樂土的冒險精神，以及250萬，從英國移民來美洲，落地生根的美國人，不甘再受英國殖民統治，為爭自由平等，於1776年7月4日宣佈獨立，發動八年的獨立戰爭。在華盛頓、富蘭克林及傑弗遜等奔走領導，犧牲無數生命之下，終能成功建國。但美國獨立之後，因長年政爭，致經濟蕭條，民生困苦，也在華盛頓奔走，調和鼎鼐之下，於1787年9月17日，通過聯邦憲法，才穩定了美國政局，除南北戰爭之外，守護美國二百多年來的自由民主社會，保障美國人富裕經濟的幸福生活。因為一部以民為主的民主憲法，不但是國家安全的守護神，更是人民幸福的平安符。
反思母國台灣，目前處在霸權凌虐生死存亡關鍵的惡劣環境之下，更須要有像美國那樣，視民如殤，有遠見，膽識、魄力，願將生命奉獻給建國的有力領導團隊。一部分先民，同樣於1624年，橫渡黑水溝，冒著「六死三留一回頭」的生命危險，來台尋找樂土，加上數千、萬年來居住於台灣的多數原住民，400年來，屢遭外來政權佔領殖民統治。至今，母親還在暗地哭泣，猶還衣不蔽體，過著流浪國際街頭乞討的日子，而衪的子民，卻還在爭逐黨派個人私利，搶奪中華民國體制丟出來的骨頭，忘了2300萬台灣人，被迫擠上一隻為4億5千萬中國人設計的中華民國憲法號破船，現在水已進艙，眼看就要沈船，我們得趕快建造一艘，專為2300萬台灣人，量身訂作的台灣國憲法號母艦，來引渡保護2300萬台灣人，台灣人要趕快建國、制訂自己的憲法，搭自己造的船，才能活命。
民主國家，政黨成立的目的，在追求取得政權以實現政黨的政治理想。可是有時在取得政權之後，淪於爭權奪利，派系鬥爭而忘了政黨的宗旨。台灣納稅人支持了民進黨十二年，終取得政權。不幸，民進黨執政八年，對建國的創黨宗旨搖擺不定，辜負了人民的期待（民進黨自己也說在基層努力不夠），派系競逐權位，終致被人民唾棄，而失去政權。台灣納稅人白白做工二十年，最後是輸家。我們認為建國運動，除了體制內的努力之外，體制外的奮鬥，說不定更能發揮力量，我們認為，建國運動必須超越藍綠、族群，走在政權、政黨或派系個人的利益前面。社運團體，不是任何政黨的附屬品，必須堅持獨立建國的主體性，將訴求推動成為主流民意後，政權或政黨為了選票，自然會將主流民意列入政見或政策落實，以爭取人民的選票。社運團體目前最重要的事，是推動建國，建構以台灣納稅人為最高利益的台灣憲法機制，約制政黨必須在不違背台灣人的共同利益之下，競逐其政黨利益，也只有在台灣國憲法體制下，台灣才有真正的公義社會，公平的選舉。
何謂政治？在專制獨裁時代，政治是政府管理眾人之事，在自由民主時代，政治是眾人管理政府之事。民主政治是平凡人的政治，是你我每一個納稅人的政治，是一群納稅人付錢供養一群公務人員，來管理政府落實納稅人利益的政治。與其說：「有什麼樣的人民，就有什麼樣的政府。」不如說：「有什麼樣的制度，就有什麼樣的人民與政府。」我們不要與人爭辯，人性是善或是惡，我們應該透過訂定良善制度，來抑惡揚善，使能者善，善者能。提倡三權分立的孟德斯鳩說：「自由並非產生於高尚的公民道德，而是產生於正確的國家體制。」而制度的最高位階是憲法。因此，一部憲法的好壞，決定什麼樣的人民與政府。
1787年，美國通過一部以服務美國納稅人為主，有效管理美國聯邦政府的憲法後，成為世界國力最強的國家，保護2億多美國人，享受民主而富裕的幸福生活。相對於中華民國憲法，是一部獨裁專制的憲法，當初設計，以服務獨裁政權的統治階層為主，要遂行其奴役4億5千萬中國人的一部憲法，中國黨政府來不及在中國實施，就被中共政權驅逐敗逃來台灣，拿著這一部統治中國人的憲法來統治臺灣人，使國際社會誤認台灣人就是中國人，誤認台灣是中國的一部分，它無力保護台灣人，無法使台灣人安居樂業，更可能使台灣淪陷於中國手中，令台灣人受中國人的統治。
本土政黨執政時，瞻前顧後沒有把握建國制憲時機，選舉時又說主張制憲會嚇跑選票？敗選後，更說制憲遙遠路。我們不盡要問，那何時才能制憲？何時才要建國？難道要交給下一代？難到還要拖上百年？難到要癡等天上掉下來？有識之士，如有良知，豈不知幾十年來或四百年來，台灣人不能安家立命的最大根源，就是沒有建國，就是欠缺一部為台灣納稅人制定的憲法。
台灣納稅人要以命運共同體的觀念，共同建設台灣成為一個民有、民治、民享的國度。必須趕緊制定以公義、公平為基礎，現代企業化的管理方式，台灣納稅人主體利益為出發點，能夠確保台灣納稅人生存、自由與追求幸福的權力，來管理政府的一部民主憲法。台灣國憲法至少應具備下列四種功能特色：
消除賄選根源：國會議員選舉，以全國作為一個選區，依比例代表，雙倍提名暨抽籤制的原則選出。透過選舉制度的設計，使候選人不會想買票，選民就無法賣票，賄選自然杜絕。
改善國會亂象：透過特別管理規定，議員要專業問政，迴避私人利益，政黨推派候選人要謹慎；因為議員犯法不但要嚴懲，政黨亦要受連坐處分，遞減其次屆議員分配名額，國會問政品質自然提升，國會亂象自然改善。
提升行政效率：訂定經濟成長率來考核公務人員行政效率，與每年5％公務人員新陳代謝淘汰率。使受供養的公務人員明確知道，做的好，有獎金，加薪水；做不好，無獎金，減薪水；表現差就淘汰免職。迫使公務人員為了自身利益，會自動票投有能力想做事的政黨執政。以台灣人的勤奮，配合政府公務人員的績效，台灣經濟的再起飛自然指日可待。
落實主權在民：透過降低創制及複決權門檻的制定，迫使政黨不敢惡鬥，議員對法案的審查，必須符合民意。降低修憲門檻，使憲法能夠與時代同步，視各時代的主流民意，可隨時進行修憲。
透過宣佈建國，實踐台灣國憲法，台灣納稅人可以不必，每天憂心國事，心情隨著電視談話性節目起伏，全家老少，可以蹺腳撚鬍鬚，看王建民的棒球賽，或其他益智、育樂節目，或舉家歡喜外出，去遊山玩水，享受制憲果實，真正的當家做主人，過著幸福快樂的生活。
雖然台灣人要實現一部最進步、最合身的台灣憲法，但以目前國際社會，不承認中華民國體制下的台灣為主權國家的處境之下，我們必須以感動民心與震撼世界的方法，來展現台灣人民要制憲的決心意志，才能受到國際輿論的支持與認同。數百萬台灣人民，一齊走出家門，迎接光明，在台灣環島的1000公里公路上，用心在自己的土地上，一字一字寫出台灣國憲法。活動當天，同步完成「制憲公投」百萬人連署。用勇敢、智慧、和平與團結的行動，向國際社會明確的傳達，制憲的意志與決心，相信民主陣營的國家，一定會豎起大拇指讚嘆的說：「台灣人真了不起，台灣國將會是一個偉大的國家。」
數百萬台灣人，完成在自己的土地寫憲法及「制憲公投」百萬人連署後，透過此次成功的活動，台灣國民意識的國家認同必將高漲過半，就有信心順利通過住民自決建國，制憲公投程序。宣佈終止實施「中華民國憲法」，終結運作「中華民國體制」，將目前外來政權中國人的中華民國政府，自「中華民國體制」脫殼出來，進入「台灣國體制」，蛻變成為，以台灣人的台灣國憲法，構制本土政權的台灣國政府，以台灣國政府名義進行國際邦交，正式建立一個主權獨立的台灣國。（按台灣絕不是自中國獨立，也不是自中華人民共和國政府獨立，更不是自已沒有國家主權的中華民國政府獨立，而是依據舊金山和約的精神台灣人自決建國制憲公投後，建立台灣國。）
我們計劃在全國的319鄉鎮，以里為單位，徵求一萬名，有組織動員十名群眾能力的庄長，發展出一萬個以上的據點，做為建國制憲的宣傳站，每一鄉鎮，如有超過三分之一里的庄長，將產生一位相當於鄉鎮長的社長。每一縣，如有超過三分之一鄉鎮的社長，將產生一位相當於縣長的郡長，做為將來在自己的土地上寫憲法的種子部隊，關鍵時刻，可隨時改編成為台灣捍衛隊。
我們將徵求一萬名制憲推手，每人捐助一萬元，（按只要台灣2300萬人的2300分之一，有一萬人每人捐助一萬元，就可籌足一億活動經費。或十萬人每人捐助一千元，或二十萬人每人捐助500元，同樣可籌足一億經費。）一旦籌足經費，就有信心，順利完成，台灣人在自己的土地上，寫憲法的世界歷史。這是台灣人，花最低成本，獲得最高報酬的建國制憲投資。
母親不能等，子民要爭氣，身為台灣人，沒有悲觀的權利，必須樂觀奮鬥，突破環境枷鎖。起造台灣國，是2300萬台灣人最偉大的共同事業，人人都是股東，都有責任為起造台灣國作善事，為子孫幸福積功德，有錢出錢，有力出力，團結打拼一定會成功。
尤其推動建國的工作者，更沒有停下腳步的理由，隨時隨地都要懷抱革命的熱情，犧牲就義的情緒，把握有限的生命，創造無限的契機，推動建國制憲，不達目的，絕不停止。
想，不停的想，才能想得周全。
眾人想，才能集思廣義，構想偉大計劃。
做，不停的做，才能做完工作。
眾人做，才能眾志成城，完成偉大事業。
走，不停的走，才能走到目標。
眾人走，才能展現力量，成就偉大理想。
眾人想聚共識，眾人做展形勢，眾人走向台灣國。
不要讓母親哭泣，不要讓子孫怨嘆，所有台灣人團結站起來，相信台灣國，天公有保庇，一定有信心，信心激力量，力量推行動，行動達建國。祈求天公上帝，賜給台灣人勇氣，賜給台灣人力量，幫助台灣人建國。在咱這代，決志落實台灣國最後一步。就從我們出發，人民奮起建國，台灣新生制憲，建國制憲，是台灣人唯一活路。
台灣國工友
王獻極謹識
大家來做台灣國工友
工友是一般公司機關最底層的編制，工友是最早上班、最晚下班的工作人員。工友的工作就是在其他上班人員未到班前，先上班將四周工作環境預先清潔整理，如清潔廁所、掃地、擦桌椅、準備茶水等，以提供上班人員舒適便利的工作環境。上班時間，工友要在機關內部穿梭傳遞信件、公文書，有時還要兼做迎客送客的招呼。接受各單位主管或同仁等差遣，處理雜物私事等。等到機關下班了，工友還要重複一遍早上的工作，才能最後下班。雖然工友職位最低，卻要具有機伶、效率、合群、不多言、冷靜的個性，才能扮好稱職的工友角色。
台灣社會一般人都崇尊賤卑，看輕工友身分，做父母的從小對子女的教育，卻是要做大官做大事賺大錢。因此，台灣人每人都想盡辦法要當主管、當老板，難怪兩千三百萬人口當中，有一百二十三萬六千家中小企業，有一萬多個社團，有一百多個政黨。難怪有人稱台灣社會是一盤魚仔全是頭。以致社會資源分散，社會力不能集中發揮，四百年了，還是不能建國。
個人苦思沉潛半年，認為應該回到底層，擔任台灣國辦公室的工友。每天早起拿起清潔用具，將辦公室內有中國酸臭味的廁所清潔乾淨，拿起掃把將辦公室的中國泥土、中國廢紙掃進垃圾桶，將中國茶水、中國墨水倒掉，將中國桌椅換掉，將牆壁上的中國標語塗掉，換來整潔乾淨的台灣廁所、台灣地毯地板、不會暈墨的台灣紙張、甘甜的台灣茶水、符合人體工學的台灣桌椅、最新型ＭＩＴ筆記型電腦，牆壁貼上煥然一新鼓舞人心的台灣標語，及通達世界各地無遠弗屆的視訊電視牆，提供各部門上班人員及主管們最舒適的工作場所。
辦公室整理乾淨之後，看到辦公室外的台灣國環境，花萎、樹倒，山崩、橋斷，鳥飛、獸走，ＳＡＲＳ、口蹄疫、毒奶粉，中華台北、中國台灣，到處充斥外來殖民中國文化的招牌、路名、建築，與人文活動。生活其上的台灣人，仍受困於外來政權「中華民國憲法」殖民體制的滿地垃圾，而寸步難行。要清除如此龐大的台灣國垃圾，恐怕非一個工友所能勝任，希望邀請更多的有志同好，一起來擔任台灣國工友，早日清除台灣垃圾，建立一個乾淨的台灣國國度，提供兩千三百萬台灣人共同工作且幸福的生活環境。
新憲法 新國家 新希望
憲法召集人 陳德正
一、台灣人若要出頭天就必須要完成二件代誌：
頭一件：咱要用【勇敢的心】代替【悲情的心】；
只有丟掉【悲情的心】，咱們才不會凡事，只要遇著困難，開口閉口就說：這是【台灣人的悲哀】；當這一句：這是【台灣人的悲哀】說出口的時候，咱們奮鬥的意志就會完全消失。只有勇敢！咱們才能大步跨出，面對挑戰，克服困難，走出光明！
第二件：咱要用【台灣國憲法】代替【殖民國家憲法】
只有丟掉：【殖民國家憲法】；咱們才不會，只要遇著政治上的紛擾，就祈求政治上的救世主來解救我們：當咱們有這樣的念頭，咱們就無法脫離政治紛擾的魔掌；只有制定台灣國憲法！咱們台灣人才會出頭天！
二、民主政治是平凡的政治，是你是我，是咱們每一個納稅人的政治。政治是什麼？在專制獨裁的社會：「政治是政府管理眾人之事」；在民主自由的社會：「政治是眾人管理政府之事」。
三、常聽人家說，「有什麼樣的人民，就會有什麼樣的政府」；我認為正確的說法應該是：「有什麼樣的制度，才會有什麼樣的人民與政府」；我不會去與人爭辯：「人性本善或是惡」；我們應該要做的是：「透過制度來抑惡揚善，使能者善，善者能」。
四、制定憲法，對別的國家來說，只要白紙寫黑字就完成；對台灣來說，白紙寫黑字並不夠；咱們若不用很感動人與震撼人心的方法來展現台灣國憲法，世界190幾個國家，敢接受我們的一定沒多少。絕對不再說這是【台灣人的悲哀】，咱要勇敢面對，用智慧，冷靜思考：用什麼方法來展現台灣國憲法，才能讓民主陣營的國家歡喜接受。請大家來想這一幕未來的場景：在公元20??年?月??日，數以百萬計的台灣人走出家門，迎接光明。在台灣的環島公路上，用心在自己的土地上一字一字寫出台灣國憲法…。當台灣人民用如此勇敢、智慧、和平與團結的行動，向國際明確的傳達制憲的意志與決心時。相信民主陣營的國家，一定會心服口服，並豎起大拇指說：台灣人真是了不起，台灣國將會是一個偉大的國家。
本組織深信透過這樣全世界獨一無二，富有創意的制憲運動的完成，必將實現台灣建國制憲的理想。
五、只有行動才能完成我們的理想，台灣人在制憲的道路上，講太多、做太少，在座各位今天來到這裡，就證明大家對台灣的關懷，這是好的第一步，也是成功的第一步；時候一到，企望大家走出家門，鬥陣來寫台灣國憲法。
附註:
1.洛克：最高價值是個人而非國家，國家只是促進個人利益而設立的工具。
2.孟德斯鳩：自由並非產生於高尚的公民道德，而是產生於正確的國家體制。

Could anyone provide some information on the NEW TAIWAN CONSTITUTION which DPP President Chen Shui-bian said we would have by 2006?
2009/03/28 RK richard@eroica. com.tw
Allen,
I am with you!
Indeed, the author has pointed out the most centered weakness characterized by most part of Taiwanese.
What he has put regarding Taiwan Independence and nation-build- up is from an narrow angle based on regular ordinary democratic procedures that might be practicable and applicable in other places like East-Timor, 3 nations in Baltic sea but it's not be suitable for Taiwan. The reason is simple and transparent for those who understood the nature of KMT. He is right that KMT always a loser in front of CCP so Taiwanese became stupid since being cheated by KMT for 60 years, he forgot one point that Taiwanese is facing a new joint-force of reunion-twin CCP+KMT that is unbeatable!
We don't feel hopeless at all, on the contrary, we will win the war with only 5% dare-to-die out of those 25% Taiwanese who are really Iron-TaiDo!
As I always emphasize, NO BLOOD, NO TAIWAN REPUBLIC, having only 5% of Iron-TaiDo so we will have 23 millions X 5% = 1.2 million! See how mighty it would be! How much strength it would release! With blood of those 1.2 million dare-to-die, no one in the world is unbeatable!
I have the confidence as much as those who belong to the 5% DTD!

Subject: [BATA] 台灣獨立建國論是否可以信任？
Dear all:
The following is an outstanding article translated from Japanese. It is interesting to learn that there are quiet a few Japanese who believe that Taiwan's ultimate destiny is either subsidiary to Japan or the US, and Taiwan does not have the ability to be Independent. It appears to me that this author might be a little bit bald, but quiet honest.
However, the author is WRONG. Taiwan do have the ability to be independent, I guarantee!

台灣獨立建國論是否可以信任？
／むじな（日本人） 陳悅文譯
（編註：本文原題為《台灣獨立建國論不可信任！》，但是，基於台灣人奴性太重、缺乏激憤性格，在此台灣最脆弱的時刻，恐怕禁不起以肯定的驚嘆號重擊，因此，本報將之改為疑問句。）
台灣人氣外省人郭冠英侮辱台灣。不過，台灣人在生氣之前，應該要反省自己為什麼這麼容易被騙。郭冠英為什麼侮辱台灣人。如果台灣人不捫心自問，那麼，也難怪會被郭冠英侮辱。
台灣人健忘，自尊心又莫名其妙地高，死不認錯，無法客觀，也不反省。不知道是不是因為被殖民太久，以致於變成敗犬性格、不自助只想依賴別人，沒有自我，責任都是別人的，不恥自己的不智。所以，才沒一下子，不但把中國國民黨的獨裁忘光光，還讓中國國民黨大勝。
最近只要和獨立派講話，就覺得很煩。民進黨選輸以後，很多獨立派的精神狀態都有問題。講話牛頭不對馬嘴，自私，又只想靠別人幫忙。一講到敗選責任，一定是「都是陳水扁沒有好好使用權力，推行獨立政策」，要不然就是「國民黨太奸巧，所以被騙了」，反正「都是別人的錯」。
但是，為什麼「陳水扁沒有使用權力推進獨立政策」？還不是因為支持獨立建國的民眾在台灣是絕對少數。因此，這種怪陳水扁的說法，是不了解客觀情勢而且很自我的說法。
不論怎樣的調查，獨立建國派從來沒有超過一半。有的調查甚至有15-40％的差距，就安定的數定來看，大概25％左右。不管握有多少權力，要如何將25％的願望強加諸於其他75％人民的身上？不要說民主主義國家，連獨裁國家都很難。
反過來想也可以。現在支持統一的不到5％。90年代初期卻有30％時，也遭到獨立派長期的反對，因此，要如何推動只有25％的理論？
綜觀世界，民主獨立建國成功的國家，不論是波羅的海三小國、東帝汶都在公民投票中獲得八成以上的支持，因此，才有了獨立的可能。
就理論上來看，51％也可以。不過，就現實問題來看，還是有必要獲得75％以上的支持；就實例來看，大多有接近九成支持。
回過來看台灣，獨立建國只有25％的支持。那麼，要以民主推進獨立建國就絕對不可能。當然如果真的很想獨立，那麼，建國派每天舉行數十萬人的遊行，連續個半年，看看精誠所至其他75％人的人會不會被說服，改支持獨立。
問題是：那麼訐譙陳水扁及民進黨無能的獨立建國派民眾，在民進黨政權時代也沒有積極主動地要求民進黨策動遊行。遊行都是民進黨計劃，民眾只是被動地參加。講難聽點，就是官製的樣板遊行而已。簡單說，陳水扁及民進黨政權之所以沒有推進獨立政策的責任，在於蹺腳等獨立從天上掉下來的獨立派民眾。
聽獨立派說「都是中國國民黨太奸巧，所以才會被騙去」，真是只能苦笑。在許多犯罪當中，詐欺罪之所以是微罪，是因為「被騙的也有責任」。
何況在政治本來就是騙術。有投票權的公民必須要有看穿騙術的能力，如果說自己就是會被騙，那麼，等於是向世界宣告自己其實是不應該有選舉權的野蠻人。
從這裡也可以看出台灣人不想負責、卑怯而惰弱的心理，不管對方是什麼詐欺集團，其詐術有多奸巧，反正台灣人被騙，就是智商低。就世界來看，詐欺集團中國國民黨的騙術不但不高明，其實根本就很低級。而且還在中國輸給共產黨。
跟著國共內戰中輸給共產黨的國民黨逃來台灣的外省人中，本來在中國就是輸給共產黨的二、三流集團。說他們高級簡直笑死人。
國共內戰中，只要上得了抬面的知識人及文化人，除了胡適以外都支持共產黨。不要說共產黨員的趙樹理，連敵對馬克思主義的巴金，也選了共產黨而不是國民黨。唯一跟著國民黨的胡適來台灣沒多久，就受不了國民黨而逃到美國去了。
反正會跟國民黨的外省人，沒有可以稱得上高級的地方。但是，問題就在這裡，台灣人竟然那麼容易地被這些三流、低級的中國人支配了55年。這就是我覺得「日本語世代」沒用的原因。等到好不容易推翻了中國國民黨，什麼長得帥啦、633啦、二萬點啊，告訴你這種連日本人和中國人都不會上當的騙小孩的騙術，台灣人竟然讓國民黨大勝。不用郭冠英說，台灣人真是頭殼壞去。
不論如何，會被這麼低級的詐欺集團騙的民族，就是台灣人。這樣的民族能建國才怪。最少，日本人就不會被中國那種三流的詐欺所騙（當然日本也有媚中派。不過，媚中派是為了利益，也不是被騙。）中國國民黨這種政黨如果到日本參加選舉，不要說執政，連一席也選不上（奧姆便是這樣）。
老實說，台灣人是好人。意思就是腦筋不好。台灣人就算做壞事，有時其實沒什麼惡意。做壞事又不能罵，等於是說智商低到沒有責任能力。當然日本也有這種人。但比率很低。可是，台灣人當中，腦筋好又能邏輯性思考明白道理的人，其比率低到令人絕望（大概5％吧）。
台灣人當中能邏輯性思考明白道理的人，跟中國的「善人」及日本「搞不清楚的人」的比率差不多。就跟中國幾乎不可能要成為善人的社會一樣，台灣要成為講邏輯的社會大概也很難。而且很多獨立派根本不明白2008年的選舉結果對國際社會的意義。說什麼「選舉不代表任何意義」，根本是自欺欺人。因為不論2008年的立法委員選舉或總統選舉，民進黨都不是小輸，而是中國國民黨大勝。
對長期以來支持、替民進黨及台灣民主化加油的外國人來說，彷彿被台灣人背叛一般。最近，自由時報分別引述愛沙尼亞及波蘭兩國議員的話指出，對於積極支持台灣的人來說，「變成馬政府，傾中加速，我們的努力成空。已經不能信用，也無法針對台灣發表意見」。2008年選舉中台灣人的選擇，是對支持台灣的外國人的背信行為。獨立派雖然會反駁說，「他們是中國人，我們不一樣」，但外國人更不相信這種說法。
2004年時本來還過半數，現在只有41％。換句說話，至少有10％的「本來是台灣人，後來變成中國人」。這種一下子台灣人，一下子中國人的人能相信嗎？
換句話說，獨立派民眾到現在還沒能邏輯性地說明民進黨的敗北及中國國民黨的大勝，是打擊太大一獗不振嗎？話說回來，這種才一次打擊就軟掉，沒有抗壓性的性格，能建國才怪！而且比選舉更早的問題是：就算萬一民進黨獲得政權，又偶然成立台灣共和國，我們還是無法信任。「誰知道八年後台灣人會不會又忘記中國國民黨的惡行惡狀，又對台灣共和國不滿，再加上某個英俊的侯選人講個兩句，便又否定台灣共和國？」而且25％的建國派中，很多人天真地以為「只要宣佈獨立就好～」。
所謂的國家，「經營」比「建國」更重要，建國派不認真思考如何經營國家，哪有可能建國？ 但是，統一派和中國人可不要偷笑。因為「沒獨立便是統一」這個命題是錯的。目前台、中的狀況，正說明中國沒有侵略、併合、統治台灣的能力。
如果中國經濟和中國國力正如中國政府所發表的統計數字一樣，又加上馬政府這麼露骨地朝中、台統合路線，那麼，現在正是中國統一台灣空前絕後的大好時機，但是，實際上台、中併合卻沒有什麼前進。而且如果照中國的統計數字，2002年時，中國就可以買下整個台灣了，但是，也沒有。
中國人有史以來就會自我誇大，常常覺得自己很強。而日本人卻會自我卑下，覺得自己其實沒那麼強。譬如甲午戰爭時，當時全世界沒有人想到大清帝國會輸給小國日本。現在也是如此。
中國沒想像地強。日本才是亞洲唯一、真正的大國。因此，台灣問題實際上不是統一或獨立的問題，而是從美或從日的兩選一問題。換句話說，不是與中關係基點的統一或獨立，而是從屬的問題。而其對象不是脆弱的中國，應該是美國或日本。

'銀膠菊蔓全台 恐致遺傳病變 到戶外要小心'
國際毒草〞銀膠菊"，可能危害台灣生態，南投特有生物中心表示，銀膠菊正在悄悄蔓延全台，它具有毒性，吸入過多，可能會造成肝臟及遺傳病變。高挺的銀膠菊，在枝節部分開滿小白花，特別討人喜歡，但美麗的外表卻是對人體有害，它有鋸齒狀的葉子，會讓人誤認為是艾草。
南投特有生物中心博士黃正元表示，銀膠菊小時候看起來滿像是艾草，這樣一把就像滿天星一樣，所以有的人就誤解，這很像觀賞植物。
這是南投特有生物中心， 黃正元 博士，花了20年研究發現，這種來自南美洲墨西哥地區，常見的植物，自從在屏東現蹤跡之後，因為生長速度快得嚇人，現在悄悄往北移。有可能是因為港口運輸，貨輪從國外帶回這種有毒的花粉，因此讓銀膠菊，在台灣落地生根銀膠菊開小白花，常常讓人誤解是滿天星，它的細微纖毛具有毒性，吸入過多，可能會造成肝臟和遺傳病變。 ""

'Is This Last Gasp for the Israel Lobby and the Neocons?'
By Robert Dreyfuss, Tomdispatch.com. Posted March 16, 2009:
http://tinyurl.com/IsraelLobby-Neocons
"" After sinking intel chief Chas Freeman, pro-Israel hardliners are celebrating. But they may have overplayed their hand on this round. ""
: "" Is the Israel lobby in Washington an all-powerful force? Or is it, perhaps, running scared?
Judging by the outcome of the Charles W. ("Chas") Freeman affair this week, it might seem as if the Israeli lobby is fearsome indeed. Seen more broadly, however, the controversy over Freeman could be the Israel lobby's Waterloo.
Let's recap. On February 19th, Laura Rozen reported at ForeignPolicy.com that Freeman had been selected by Admiral Dennis Blair, the director of national intelligence, to serve in a key post as chairman of the National Intelligence Council (NIC). The NIC, the official in-house think tank of the intelligence community, takes input from 16 intelligence agencies and produces what are called "national intelligence estimates" on crucial topics of the day as guidance for Washington policymakers. For that job, Freeman boasted a stellar resumé: fluent in Mandarin Chinese, widely experienced in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War, and an ex-assistant secretary of defense during the Reagan administration.
A wry, outspoken iconoclast, Freeman had, however, crossed one of Washington's red lines by virtue of his strong criticism of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. Over the years, he had, in fact, honed a critique of Israel that was both eloquent and powerful. Hours after the Foreign Policy story was posted, Steve Rosen, a former official of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), launched what would soon become a veritable barrage of criticism of Freeman on his right-wing blog. "
... ...
" On March 10th, Freeman bowed out, but not with a whimper. In a letter to friends and colleagues, he launched a defiant, departing counterstrike that may, in fact, have helped to change the very nature of Washington politics. "The tactics of the Israel lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth," wrote Freeman. "The aim of this lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views."
Freeman put it more metaphorically to me: "It was a nice way of, as the Chinese say, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys." By destroying his appointment, Freeman claimed, the Israel lobby hoped to intimidate other critics of Israel and U.S. Middle East policy who might seek jobs in the Obama administration.
On Triumphs, Hysterias, and Mobs
It remains to be seen just how many "monkeys" are trembling. " ... ...
... ...
" Indeed, Freeman told me:
"The only thing I regret is that in my statement I embraced the term 'Israel lobby.' This isn't really a lobby by, for, or about Israel. It's really, well, I've decided I'm going to call it from now on the [Avigdor] Lieberman lobby. It's the very right-wing Likud in Israel and its fanatic supporters here. And Avigdor Lieberman is really the guy that they really agree with."
So here's the reality behind the Freeman debacle: Already worried over Team Obama, suffering the after-effects of the Gaza debacle, and about to be burdened with the Netanyahu-Lieberman problem, the Israel lobby is undoubtedly running scared. They succeeded in knocking off Freeman, but the true test of their strength is yet to come.
Digg!

' 'Theory of mind' could help explain belief in God ' Mar9,2009, by Andy Coghlan:

: "" Once we had evolved the necessary brain architecture, we could "do" religion, brain scans indicate.
The research shows that, to interpret a god's intentions and feelings, we rely mainly on the same recently evolved brain regions that divine the feelings and intentions of other people. "

" "It's not surprising that religious beliefs engage mainly the theory-of-mind areas, as they are about virtual beings who are treated as having essentially human mental traits, just as characters in a novel or play are," comments Robin Dunbar, an anthropologist at the University of Oxford.
"But it nicely reinforces my claim that it is the higher orders of intentionality that are crucial in the development of fully fledged religion as we know it," says Dunbar.

二二八事件紀念基金會委託陳儀深教授撰寫的「濁水溪畔二二八：口述歷史訪談錄」昨舉行新書發表會，多位接受口述歷史訪談的二二八家屬也出席；陳儀深表示，這本書除了記載二二八的最後一戰「樟湖之戰」，也呈現出二二八「抗爭」面向，而非過去認為只有「受害」面向。
陳儀深撰寫 走訪雲投等地
包括二二八事件紀念基金會董事長陳錦煌、前國史館長張炎憲、二二八民軍領導人陳篡地醫師的兒子陳彥文、參與醫治二二八傷患的藥局生陳天成、二二八事件竹山區民兵廖如賓的兒子廖國揚等，昨均出席發表會。
主持這項計畫的陳儀深表示，他從去年七月至今年一月，訪談了雲林縣的斗六、古坑、北港、虎尾、林內及南投縣竹山，重點事件包括虎尾機場被攻佔、竹山青年陣亡、林內仕紳出面講和（繳械）事件，以及陳篡地率民軍退往古坑樟湖，在桶頭與整編二十一師相戰，及所衍生來自北港、朴子民軍在古坑梅山交界被中國兵伏擊的事件。
陳儀深指出，根據檔案，整編二十一師自認「樟湖之戰」是台灣中部轉為安定的轉捩點，而陳篡地率領的民軍是在四月六日才被一四五旅四三四團驅散，「這真是二二八的最後一戰」。
張炎憲表示，台灣人抗爭是二二八事件最重要的精神，現在馬英九仍不時被二二八家屬嗆聲，主因就是國民黨只認為家屬可憐，卻不承認錯誤，這樣家屬怎可能撫平傷痕？要談和解，一定要了解二二八的精神才可能做到。

另，為追思一九四七年三月八日，基隆要塞部隊配合國軍登陸肅清街頭，造成死傷慘重，二二八事件紀念基金會與台灣二二八關懷總會昨在基隆舉辦「二二八地緣記憶追思活動」，徒步繞行市區，喚起記憶，希望傳承歷史。

曾與張七郎孫輩同學，張七郎大媳婦還是他的國小老師，徐頌鵬指出，張七郎父子以「背叛黨國」被誣陷入罪而慘死的真相，因為新一批史料的公諸於世，而漸漸浮出；據日前報章所載，遇難原因乃因私人恩怨。「民主和平公義，應該是紀念二二八事件所應努力的方向」，徐頌鵬企盼真相還原之餘，也希望事件原凶能悔改認罪。 "

'台獨的西點軍校 建國故事: 《一門留美學生的建國故事》' ◎ 張炎憲, 前國史館館長: Feb22,2009, The Liberty Times: 自由廣場:
青春有夢是種幸福。逐夢需要理想、熱情與實踐的意志，如果是要建國，更需要浪漫、膽識、勇氣與決心。吳三連台灣史料基金會出版《一門留美學生的建國故事》一書（http://www.twcenter.org.tw/），記錄一個家族、十個人在青春歲月時投入建國行列，追求偉大夢想的動人故事，將於二十二日下午假集思會議中心台大館舉辦新書發表暨座談會。
一九五○、六○年代，台灣處於蔣家獨裁統治的白色恐怖年代，很多菁英和民眾被逮捕槍決，言論思想自由被剝奪，社會正義無法伸張，很多年輕人因而出國留學。張家姊妹也在此風潮下赴美留學，並認識了另一半。在當時白色恐怖年代，父母大多訓示兒女不可參與政治，專心讀書，早日衣錦還鄉，但張家姊妹在大姊夫楊宗昌、大姊張肅的影響下，陳希寬、張郁彬、張伯寬、張月英等十人先後加入台灣獨立聯盟。縱使國民黨引誘勸降，甚至以吊銷護照威脅，他們都不為所動，充分顯示台灣留學生親睹美國民主自由之後，反思台灣人失去自由、沒有明天的日子，而不顧安危投入獨立建國行列。
他們在就讀堪薩斯州立大學時，即結合知己，從事學生運動，批判國民黨的獨裁，與國民黨派學生展開校園筆戰，並刊登二二八大屠殺的紀念文章，引起台灣學生的共鳴與美國友人的支持。因此，堪薩斯州立大學有「台獨的西點軍校」之稱，培養出許多台獨鬥士。
他們抵達美國不久，就陸續加入台灣獨立聯盟。楊宗昌在一九六四年、陳希寬在一九六六年加入，當時聯盟還在初創階段。一九七一年九月十八日，台灣人社團在紐約舉行民眾大會，彭明敏蒞臨演講，造成風潮，從此台灣人紛紛成立社團，推動台灣人的獨立運動。同年十月十八日，聯合國大會開會前夕，聯盟人士用鎖鍊將手綁在鐵欄杆上，大聲喊出台灣獨立的口號，隔日報紙刊登此項消息，引起國際人士的注目，形成一股力量，喚醒台灣人的意識，使得國民黨不得不重視台灣人的權益。
回顧過去白色恐怖年代，台灣處於艱難的時刻，張家十位親人追求獨立建國的豪情壯志，就會給我們一股力量與啟示，只要我們意志堅定，攜手努力，終有化不可能為可能的一天，完成建國的偉業。 ""

""One can go vegetarian, buy organic, or avoid processed foods, but it is hard to truly avoid all of the dangers that lurk in our food.""
: " For example, a recent study by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy tells of mercury found in nearly one-third of products containing high fructose corn syrup, a substance ubiquitous in processed foods. The mercury comes from chlor-alkali plants that manufacture caustic soda.
Although newer, cleaner technology is available, some of these plants still use mercury, resulting in mercury contamination in the caustic soda. Then caustic soda is used to separate corn starch from the corn kernel in the high fructose corn syrup production process.
Only trace amounts of mercury end up in the high fructose corn syrup (the product with the most mercury from high fructose corn syrup still had 1,000 times less mercury than the average can of albacore tuna), but mercury is a neurotoxin, and consumers should not be exposed to it in their food, even at low levels.
Even excluding extreme problems like salmonella and mercury, America has proof, via declining public health, that our corn- and soy-based industrial diet is not healthy. Without family farms, consumers are less able to opt out of this food system.
When local farms lose, houses spring up where farmland once was, and the food produced locally is displaced with food from the enormous and consolidated industrial food system. Although most of us are not among the 2 percent of Americans who farm, if we wish to preserve our health and a way of eating focused on taste over convenience and marketing, then we need to save the few precious family farms we have left.

: "" 〔駐美特派員曹郁芬／華府五日報導〕 包括台灣前司法院副院長城仲模，以及近百名旅美台僑今天擠進華府的聯邦上訴法院旁聽席，要確認美國是否仍為台灣的主要軍事佔領者，台灣人民是否可以據此要求美國政府發給護照？城仲模表示，如果輸了這場官司，未來還要一路打到美國最高法院。
近百名台僑擠進旁聽席
林志昇等人於二○○六年十月委託律師坎普對美國政府提出告訴，指日本在二次大戰投降後只宣布放棄台灣與澎湖列島的主權，並沒有將主權歸還給中國，舊金山和約也未處理台灣與澎湖的主權問題，美國依法仍是台灣的主要軍事佔領者，要求美國法院根據舊金山和約與美國憲法，檢視台灣人民應有的權利，包括申請美國護照。
許多台僑在辯論結束後圍住坎普，討論台灣地位未定論的證明，還要坎普閱讀「被背叛的福爾摩沙」一書以了解台灣歷史。這個案子在華府地方法院審理時，法官克麗亞（Rosemary Collyer）判決美國政府勝訴，她在判決書中表示，法庭不能審理政治問題，如果不處理美國行政部門多年來刻意且小心不就台灣主權進一步表態問題，是不可能決定訴訟人在美國憲法之下的權利，這對處於平等地位的行政部門不尊重。
美政府律師：屬政治問題
林志昇委由坎普律師向華府聯邦上訴法院提告，今天代表美國政府的律師是派特森（Melissa Patterson），除重申本案是政治問題外，她也表示，美台協防條約、美中建交公報和台灣關係法等後續法律條文，已經推翻了舊金山和約中有關台灣主權的主張。不過法官對於美國在舊金山和約簽訂時，是否擁有台灣的法理主權也提出質疑。
城仲模在華府的全美記者俱樂部舉行記者會表示，台灣問題從國際法的秩序來看，一定要找美國。
不過這個案件也在旅美台僑團體中引起爭議，有些僑民認為，這違反他們長年以來爭取台灣自決與獨立的原則。

'Packed courtroom greets judges in Taiwan treaty lawsuit', by Michael Richardson, Boston Progressive Examiner, Feb5,09 1:59PM
http://tinyurl.com/TaiwanCaseFeb5-2009
: "" A standing room only crowd filled the courtroom in the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals where a three-judge panel heard arguments on interpretation of the 1952 San Francisco Peace Treaty that officially ended World War II with Japan.
The case, Roger C. S. Lin, et al v. United States seeks a declaration of rights under the peace treaty, which transferred the island of Formosa to United States military control. There is presently a three-way tug of war over the future of Taiwan, as the island is presently known.
Communist China wants "reunification" despite never controlling the prosperous island. Then there is the Republic of China, which the U.S. allowed to be a caretaker government-in-exile when the Communist revolution of 1949 swept mainland China, which wants to be independent. Finally, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and others are seeking recognition of U.S. territorial control under the 1952 treaty.
Attorney Charles Camp argued for the plaintiffs and was questioned by the three judges. Camp reports that the substantive issues of the case were well understood by the court.
"When the Government lawyer was asked whether any document had ever changed that provision of the treaty [regarding U.S. military occupation], the Government said no. When asked by one of the judges whether the Executive branch could unilaterally change the provision in the treaty making the U.S. the principal occupier of Taiwan, the Government lawyer hesitated and the judge then answered the question himself. He said the Executive branch cannot unilaterally change the language of a treaty."
At one point in the hearing, the Justice Department asserted the 1952 treaty was "irrelevant" leaving the judges stunned at the lack of a substantive response. One of the judges wondered if the U.S. was trying to "walk away" from its treaty obligations.
The main thrust of the government case was that it was a political decision and not a legal one. However, the Justice Dept. attorneys did not cite a single case that would deprive the Court of Appeals from interpreting rights under treaties.
A win by plaintiffs would put them in a similar situation with the residents of American Samoa where the island inhabitants are considered U.S. nationals but not citizens. Plaintiffs are seeking use of U.S. passports and other legal protections that would come with territorial status.
A judicial declaration of rights under the treaty would end the arms build-up and ease tensions between Taiwan and China. Last week the United States allowed Raytheon Corporation to sell $154 million worth of Patriot missiles to Taiwan. President Obama's new National Intelligence director Dennis Blair is expected to urge more missile sales if the unresolved status quo is maintained.
No date for a decision by the Court of Appeals has been announced.

'Court to hear arguments on U.S. ownership of Taiwan under WWII peace treaty with Japan', Michael Richardson, Boston Progressive Examiner: Feb4,09 3:04PM
http://tinyurl.com/US-Taiwan
: "" The District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals hears oral arguments this week over the future of Taiwan in a little-noticed but important lawsuit making its way through the U.S. courts. The case, Roger C.S. Lin, et al vs. United States, arises from the 1952 San Francisco Peace Treaty officially ending World War II. Japan, which had occupied the island of Formosa since the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, formally renounced all claims to Formosa and Pescadores Islands.
Japan's treaty with the United States was on April 28, 1952. Several months later on August 5, 1952, Japan entered a peace treaty with China, the Treaty of Taipei, but did not cede the island to China.
The United States militarily occupied Formosa at war's end but allowed Chinese troops under Chiang Kai-shek to accept the surrendering Japanese. Chiang's nationalist government, the Republic of China, was overthrown during the Communist revolution in 1949 and became a 'Cold War' government-in-exile on the island while the East and West were embroiled in ideological conflict.
The plan, under the treaty, was for the United States to transfer the island status to the United Nations for resolution. Instead, the U.S. had allowed the nationalist Chinese to set up shop and govern the island's populace. Many island residents did not welcome the Chinese rule.
On February 28, 1947, an uprising broke out in Taipei following an incident over a street vendor. The repression and fighting that followed was fierce and thousands died in what has become known as the 228 Massacre. For years, the deaths were hushed up and recognition of the scope of brutality did not emerge until the 1990's.
Communist China has long wanted the prosperous island and has been seeking a "reunification" for territory it never controlled. The unresolved legal status of Taiwan, as it is commonly known, has served the United States and its interests. Tension with China has resulted in the recent sale of $154 million worth of Patriot missiles from the United States to Taiwan.
The government of Taiwan has sought membership in the United Nations but has been repeatedly rebuffed by the United States. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit argue this is because the island is actually U.S. territory since it was never ceded to any country after U.S. military control.
The Justice Department, defending the United States, has sought to dismiss the case on grounds the issue is political not legal. The government has avoided the substantive question of ownership under terms of the 1952 treaty.
The last clear statement of United States policy on Taiwan was on October 25, 2004 when Secretary of State Colin Powell stated, "Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy."
The stakes are high. When the case was before the U.S. District Court the Justice Department warned the court, "For plaintiffs to prevail in this action this Court would have to declare the United States sovereign over Taiwan." ""

' Taiwan's Sovereignty and Statehood Still "Undecided" Jerome F. Keating Ph.D.:
Wed Feb4,09: http://tinyurl.com/TaiwanSovereignty
: "" On February 5th, the oral arguments of a provocative lawsuit will go before the US Court of Appeals at 9:30 am. In this presentation, Dr. Roger Lin is arguing that the sovereignty and role of Taiwan in the international community remains a piece of unfinished business left over from World War II (WWII). Lin is claiming that since the US conquered Japan and its territories, it bears responsibility for the disposition of those territories and in particular that of Taiwan. That disposition was not made, treated or designated in the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1952. Taiwan was given neither to the Republic of China (ROC), nor the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Lin's arguments have a certain resonance in the fact that in 2007, Dennis Wilder, the US National Security Council Senior Director for Asian Affairs has gone on record as saying that Taiwan's statehood is "undecided." This was an unusual statement for the country of Taiwan some sixty years after the end of WWII.
A Press Conference will be held that same afternoon of Feb. 5th at 1 pm in the Library Lounge of the National Press Club at 529 14th St. N. W., Washington DC. The press conference will treat the developments of the morning's hearing and potential subsequent plans of action.
How this will all come down has interesting ramifications. Do the 23 million people of Taiwan not have the right of self-determination granted in the Charter of the United Nations? After all, the population of Taiwan is larger than 75 per cent of the existing countries in the United Nations. Or should the Taiwanese be given the right to have US Passports? The results of this case should be followed by all. ""

'Future of Taiwan at stake in lawsuit over WWII peace treaty with Japan' Michael Richardson, Boston Progressive Examiner: Jan28,09 4:20PM
http://tinyurl.com/TaiwanLawsuitMR
""Michael Richardson is a freelance journalist and independent political consultant. Richardson writes about progressive issues, politics and election law. Richardson is also working on a book about the FBI and the Black Panthers.""
: "" A little known but very important lawsuit pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals over the peace treaty that ended the war with Japan may force the United States into a confrontation with China over the future of Taiwan located on the island of Formosa.
China's view that the Republic of China, more commonly known as Taiwan, is a renegade province and that Formosa should be reunited with the mainland flies in the face with historical fact. China never owned Formosa--the island belonged to Japan and ceded it to the United States in the San Francisco Peace Treaty.
The United States, moving from war with Japan into the 'Cold War' that followed, allowed the Chinese nationalist government fleeing the Communist takeover of China refuge on Formosa. Much to the current dismay of many on the island, the United States opposes nationhood for Taiwan and has kept it from recognition by the United Nations.
The unresolved status of Taiwan became a pivotal debate point in the famous Nixon-Kennedy presidential debates of 1960. Military exercises by the Chinese navy also periodically bring the topic into the news. However, what consistently is overlooked is the actual ownership of the island.
The plaintiffs in Roger C.S. Lin, et al v. United States, pending in the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals, are seeking recognition of the fact that the United States owns Formosa and has never ceded ownership of the island to anyone, including the government of Taiwan. The lawsuit argues that the status of island residents are as non-citizen U.S. nationals entitled to the protection and privileges that accrue to U.S. territorial possessions.
The Bush administration made every effort to get the case dismissed arguing it was a political issue and not a legal matter. In mid-December the plaintiffs responded to the latest attempt to get the case dismissed.
The government never addresses the central question at issue in this appeal. It fails to recognize that Appellants are seeking multiple declarations, not just one pertaining to noncitizen national status. It fails to understand that the San Francisco Peace Treaty was not modified by any Executive Order of the President or the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, and remains in full force and effect today.
In an earlier ruling that the case involved a political matter, the U.S. District Court acknowledged the plaintiffs have essentially been persons without a state for almost 60 years. The matter is scheduled for oral argument in early February. New Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may want to sit in the courtroom to learn about the case that she no doubt will have to deal with in the future.

""第1節 民間國是會議: Taiwan Citizens Conference on Hational Affairs'
/ 2009-01-10 資料新增中
中國不可能放棄間諜活動 國共平台的風險更大 / 2009-01-15""
: "" 針對有關國共間諜案的整個來龍去脈，民主進步黨文宣部主任鄭文燦今(15)日表示，該事件爆發後雖相關事實證據仍未明朗，但我們可以肯定的是兩岸之間確實存在著無形的戰爭，且中國未曾、也不可能放棄間諜活動。
鄭文燦主任指出，此案爆發令我們非常憂心的是馬政府的親中政策，讓所有的政府部門和各級公務員，心防上受到很大的衝擊；假如說國共平台可以光明正大地進行各項協商，甚至於我們很多外交上的行動，在沒有發動以前都要跟中國協商，顯然最大洩密的風險就是國共平台，對國家安全造成非常大的危害。
鄭文燦主任強調，該事件顯示出馬政府需要調整兩岸政策，必須對親中的政策進行檢討，假如在兩岸和解之後，中共仍然進行各項間諜活動，顯然就非如馬政府所言，兩岸之間有所謂的互信存在；事實上，中國對台灣包括政治、軍事、外交與經濟各方面，或是併吞台灣的準備，並沒有任何改變。
至於外界若要把該事件貼上任何政治標籤或影射綠營，鄭文燦主任對此表示，這些都是很廉價的政治操作，我們認為一個執政的政府不應該這麼做。

民主進步黨國際事務部對於本黨駐美代表辦公室帳戶之說明 / 2009-01-15
針對國民黨邱毅委員稱本黨於海外有密帳之不實指控，本部說明如下：
1995年，本黨在野期間，為加強對美工作，故設立駐美代表處。為支應常駐人員薪資及辦公室租金等事務性費用，本黨於美國第一聯合銀行(FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK)開立帳戶，每年編列台幣420萬之經費匯入。2000年本黨執政後，考量執政黨不須另設駐美單位，故結束駐美代表處之運作，惟並未結清該帳戶。
2007年10月，因該銀行被美商美聯銀行合併，故通知本黨盡速領回該戶頭之款項，否則依規定，「靜止戶」之餘款未結清領回，視為放棄。本黨於是委請當時剛好有訪美行程之劉世芳中常委代為處理，共計匯回本黨台幣149萬餘元。
邱毅委員所謂本黨之海外密帳，即為本黨成立駐美代表處而設立的帳戶，戶名為「台灣民主進步黨駐美代表處」（TAIWAN DEMOCRATICPROGRESSIVE PARTY MISSION IN THE UNITED STATES）。陳前總統時任本黨主席，依法為該帳戶之代表人，故以其名義發函，請求該行返還該筆款項。
此一紙本原件應在美方銀行保管，取得此一文件之司法單位應徹查為何流出，此舉違反偵查不公開原則，本黨將追究責任歸屬。
邱毅以片段資料任意指控本黨正常財務管理為海外密帳，顯然是惡意扭曲誤導社會大眾之認知，本黨深感遺憾並譴責此一不負責任之行為。 ""

"U.S.–China relations after resolution of Taiwan’s status" Roger Cliff, David A. Shlapak, 'current as of September 2006' http://tinyurl.com/Rand-TaiwanStatus
""sponsored by the United States Air Force under Contracts F49642-01-C-0003 and FA7014-06-C-0001. Further information may be obtained from the Strategic Planning
Division, Directorate of Plans, Hq USAF.""
... ...
: "" Peaceful Unification ""
... ...
... "" There is an extensive, though
not unanimous, body of analysis that suggests that mature democracies
rarely, if ever, go to war with each other.5 There is, however, likewise
evidence that states undergoing the transition to democracy can
be more war-prone than others.6 Thus, the relationship between the
United States (or Taiwan) and a democratizing China could be highly
unstable, and any democratic transition in a country the size of China is
likely to be the work of many years, if not generations. If this transition
period were successfully negotiated, however, and a democracy were to
emerge on the mainland that was mature and stable enough for Taiwan
to unify with the mainland voluntarily, relations between Washington
and Beijing would likely be transformed as well. Although some
tensions and suspicions between the two sides would continue, just as
between any two countries, the chances of actual conflict between the
United States and a democratic China would be much lower than they
are today, particularly with the Taiwan issue also resolved.
----------
5 Brown et al. (1997); Farber and Gowa (1995), pp. 123-146; Spiro (1994), pp. 50–86.
6 Mansfield and Snyder (2005).
Peaceful unification could also be effected through some looser
form of political relationship, such as a confederacy or commonwealth,
in which both Taiwan and the mainland had equal standing and which
could be voluntarily dissolved at the initiative of either party. Achieving
this type of largely symbolic “unification” would not necessarily
require mainland China to become a democracy, and the effect on
U.S.-China relations would be similar to that described in the section
below called “Compromise Resolutions.” ""
... ...
"" Peaceful Independence
It is similarly unlikely that Taiwan could peacefully achieve independence—
that Beijing would formally recognize and accept it as an independent
state—without a fundamental transformation of the Chinese
polity. "" ... ...
... ...
"" Compromise Resolution
Absent a political transformation in mainland China, the best chance
for a peaceful resolution of Taiwan’s status probably lies in an arrangement
somewhere between formal independence and formal unification,
a state that might be called “peaceful in-betweenness.” Politicians
and analysts in Taiwan and the United States have proposed a number
of such formulas. One possibility would be an agreement to leave Taiwan’s
status unresolved for some period, with Beijing promising not
to use force as long as Taiwan refrained from attempting to formalize
its independence. Although this outcome would not be a true or final
resolution of Taiwan’s status, the period in question could be very long
or even unlimited, with the two sides agreeing to leave Taiwan’s status
unresolved until they both come to an agreement on the issue.
The current Chinese regime, including the new “fourth generation”
leaders, has so far shown no interest in such schemes, but it is
not inconceivable that a future party leadership would be both willing
and politically capable of accepting an arrangement with Taiwan
if the costs to regime stability of continued cross-strait tensions began
to outweigh the value of this specific play of the nationalism card. The
successive leaderships of the People’s Republic of China have frequently
surprised outside observers with their ability to make fundamental
changes to core policies. Thus, this is one way in which Taiwan’s
status could actually be resolved peacefully that might not necessarily
imply a fundamental change in the nature of the Chinese regime. As
in the case of “Peaceful Independence,” however, a Chinese regime
that would be willing to accept such an arrangement would almost by
definition be one that was more pragmatic in its approach to foreign
affairs.9 Although the possibility for competition and conflict between
the United States and such a regime would still exist, the new attitude
of the Chinese government, along with the elimination of the Taiwan
flashpoint, would significantly reduce the risk of war between the two
countries.
----------
9 The authors are grateful to Richard Bush of the Brookings Institution for this
observation. ""
... ...
"" For more than 25 years, U.S. policy has, above all else, sought
to ensure that any resolution of Taiwan’s status occurs peacefully. The
analysis here suggests that this has indeed been the correct policy, as
the consequences of a peaceful resolution of Taiwan’s status are almost
uniformly positive for the United States. The analysis here also shows,
however, that the consequences of violent unification are almost certainly
negative. Thus, as China’s power and confidence in its military
capabilities grow, it is important for the United States to maintain the
capability to deter and, if necessary, defeat an attempt by Beijing to
achieve unification through force. """

'台灣國家定位論壇：去中華民國 台灣才是獨立國家' Jan5,09, Liberty Times:
http://tinyurl.com/FormosaNationTalks
: "" 〔記者林毅璋／台北報導〕台灣教授協會昨舉辦「台灣國家定位論壇」，台大法律系名譽教授李鴻禧認為，應努力制定適合台灣實施的新憲法，廢除內容和現狀差異太大的中華民國憲法，並去除中華民國國名，正名為台灣國，讓台灣是主權獨立國家的地位更確定。
淡江大學國際學院日本研究所教授許慶雄表示，台灣不能獨立建國的關鍵是多數人未認清「中華民國僅是政府而不是國家」。許強調，台灣要成為國家，必須向國際社會「宣布獨立」，以新國家身分向聯合國秘書處提出加入申請書。前駐日代表許世楷則說，前總統陳水扁任內以台灣名義申請加入聯合國，這是通往法理上主權獨立國家之路，可避免中國阻撓。
清華大學科技法律研究所副教授黃居正也認為，若未能與中華民國切斷，台灣就不是一個獨立的國家。黃說，無論是藍綠執政時，都未能向國際宣示台灣是獨立的國家，因此國際仍視我們為中華民國，但卻與中國之間曖昧不明。且我國憲法從未排除對岸是中華民國的領土，國際上自然對兩岸混淆不清，台灣能成為獨立國家的空間也愈來愈小。
台灣新世紀文教基金會董事長陳隆志主張，台灣是主權獨立國家，這與邦交國有多少無關，台灣與中國是互不隸屬的兩個國家，這是目前的政治現狀。
台教會副會長劉重義則強調，如果執政者不能與中華民國有所切割，即使已經有二位台灣人做了總統也是沒用。 ""

'王清峰說謊'
"" 針對「馬統」發動司法追殺民進黨官員，尤其毫不避人耳目的操弄司法以達到羈押前總統陳水扁的目的，廿一位國際知名的學者專家已經連續發表三封公開信加以譴責，措辭一封比一封嚴厲。從第一封的「深切關注」到第二封的「擔憂」到第三封信的「駁斥」，可說砲火愈來愈火熱、愈來愈不顧情面。
第一封給馬英九的信，《新聞周刊》（Newsweek）譽為「前所未有」，立刻加以引用。接著號稱「馬統」老師的孔傑榮在專欄中摘用其論點，但是謹慎的保留某些看法；司法迫害手段益發加劇下，孔傑榮只能站在廿一位學者的一邊了。
廿一位學者的第二封信指名給法務部長王清峰，去年十一月廿五日見於英文報刊《台北時報》，特別點明「台灣司法的腐蝕」。王清峰立刻做出回應，一一說明，也一一辯解、洗刷「政治力介入」的質疑。
一月廿四日的第三封信是條列式的用「具體要點」拆穿王清峰的答辯；老實說，就是指控王清峰說謊。
第一個要點是正面的告訴王清峰，她援引德國、日本、美國來證成「審前羈押制」是「合乎正當法律程序」，全然不能接受；尤其台灣司法「全面使用」與孔傑榮所說「應該很少使用」背反，更指出「僅用於現任和前任民進黨官員」破壞了「司法系統的公正性」。第三封信開宗明義的正告王清峰，所謂「貪瀆犯罪……並無選擇性辦案」，不能取信於人；王清峰說謊。
第二點關於「押人取供」的答辯，公開信認為「完全不正確」，打了回票；第三點針對「收押人與律師討論被錄音錄影」，公開信指出王全然「忽略不提」，指控王沒說實話。
第四點用「事實」反駁王清峰所說：偵查過程「調查資料只能透過檢察官辦公室披露」，根本不實；王清峰騙人。同時也抨擊法務部以「洩密」入扁律師鄭文龍於罪，是「政治偏見的直接確認」。
第五點指出「特偵組」用「手銬」和「羈押」辦扁案是「偏袒方式」，從而拆穿王清峰否認「司法受到政治操縱」，明確的指出台灣司法很難有「公正審判」。
第六點更有趣。王清峰引用美國國務院回應台灣司法的聲明當自我「背書」；公開信特別指出「在國際外交語言，『我們預期所有事情』此一術語的意思是『我們很擔心，並會仔細關注』」，王清峰拿美國話騙外國人，卻遭吐槽，說謊說到爪哇國去！
有怎樣的主子就有怎樣的奴才，反之亦然！從馬看王或從王看馬，騙騙騙，一也。（作者金恒煒為《當代》雜誌總編輯） ""

'綠營支持者情何以堪 扁長別跟過去過不去' ◎ 侯錦霞: The Liberty Times 自由廣場 2009-1-22:
http://tinyurl.com/BianChang
: "" 前總統陳水扁在他的新書「台灣的十字架」大揭謝長廷的瘡疤，謝長廷雖說不計較，卻也綿裡藏針地反擊，爆了一些阿扁的料。不料歹戲未了，阿扁的女兒陳幸妤投書媒體，加料對謝長廷再給予重重一拳。長久以來的「扁長情結」，似乎有進入白熱化的趨勢，讓人看得膽戰心驚。
過去有人將「扁長情結」比喻為「瑜亮情結」，三國時代的周瑜忌諸葛亮之才，時時想除去諸葛亮，以絕後患，但奈何「一著棋局難敵對，幾番算計總成空」，最後周瑜懷著「既生瑜，何生亮」的感嘆死於卅六歲的壯年。
瑜亮本為敵對陣營，諸葛亮在瑜亮之爭中佔了上風，讓蜀國三分天下的地位更加穩固。扁長卻是過去台灣民主化過程中攜手合作的同志，如今同志倒戈，互揭瘡疤，你來我往，刀刀見血，毫不留情，令人憂心扁長未分出勝負之前，民進黨就已在「既生扁，何生長」的無奈下分崩離析了。
為了民進黨的延續，為了台灣民主的順利推動，扁長雙方都歇手吧！畢竟，沒有了民進黨，沒有了民主台灣，不管扁長雙方互鬥的算計為何，都將成空。

Well, we have "proclamation" . The last sentence "hope for a Formosa republic" is very good. I have modified a little and reinserted civil rights where applicable. This petition is forming a solid platform, too. Global Forum Int'l, Inc. could potentially adopt this as the mission statement for the objectives of its political lobbying. Mission statement is coming into focus. Please review for grammar and content.

We, the people of Formosa, as residents of our island and abroad, reject the label of Chinese nationality; invoke our human rights of self-determination; and do hereby demand that the exiled government of the Republic of China on Taiwan be forever be banished from our Formosa.
吾等,福爾摩沙之民;子民遍佈全世界,同為地球村公民;拒絕被強冠以"中國人"國籍;秉持"住民自決"為最崇高之人權;堅決要求"中華民國在台灣流亡政府"自福爾摩沙(台灣)撤離.

(paragraph4: stating power and authority sources of the US and the USMG)
Whereas, the ROC administrative authorities should be forever banished to the People's Republic of China in Beijing along with the return of the ROC-controlled islands of Kinmen/Matsu; We do hereby further petition the USMG to establish a legal successor government by the Formosan Civil Government; the only true and legitimate successor composed of the Formosan people, by the Formosan people and for the Formosan people.

(paragraph6: re: UN Charters, chapter 73, self determination and self governing)
Citizens of Formosa shall deserve the equal protections of their new constitution; shall respect the rule of law; shall have the civil rights to their long desired pursuit of life, liberty, and prosperity, with justice for all.
凡福爾摩沙公民,自應被其憲法賦予平等保護之權; 自應尊守憲法等法律規章; 自應享有全體子民長遠以來追求渴望保障生命,自由,財產,以及公義之權利.
(paragraph7: statement of rights and goal, purpose)
Our fellow Formosans, being islanders like other islanders of the world, are peace seeking freedom lovers. The Formosan people deserve a free, secure, bright, fearless and democratic future.

We, the people of Formosa from all over the world, as Citizens of the Greater World; with diversified cultures and races; rejecting to be labeled of Chinese nationality; believing in the ultimate human rights of self-determination; do hereby demand that the government of the "Republic of China (ROC) in exile" be removed off Formosa (Taiwan).
吾等,福爾摩沙之民;子民遍佈全世界,同為地球村公民;拒絕被強冠以"中國人"國籍;秉持"住民自決"為最崇高之人權;堅決要求"中華民國在台灣流亡政府"自福爾摩沙(台灣)撤離.
(paragraph 1: statement of goal/purpose)
Herewith, we petition for a Declaratory Judgment and Writ of Mandamus by the US Supreme Court, to convene the United States (US) Court of Formosa in Taipei (and/or any other Formosan city); to condemn the Chinese Nationalist KMT (Kuomingtang) regime of the "Republic of China government-in- exile" for War Crimes of genocide, pillaging, conspiracy and denying the civil rights of the People of Formosa.
本此,吾等請願美國最高法庭裁決並頒授執行令,在福爾摩沙(台灣)之台北市或其他合適城市成立美利堅聯邦福爾摩沙(台灣)法庭;譴責"中華民國在台灣流亡政府"暨中國國民黨之集團種族滅絕大屠殺之戰犯罪行,陰謀反叛,剝奪及漠視福爾摩沙(台灣)子民人權之罪.
(Paragraph2: statement of pain and suffering and reason for action)
We also hereby petition for the rights to redressing our grievances, and for restoring our inalienable human rights under the jurisdiction of the Administrative authority of the United States Military Government (USMG) over Formosa Cession, a right and protection, in accordance with the US Constitution, San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT), and the Taiwan Relations Act.
吾等亦就此同時為福爾摩沙(台灣)子民在依國際戰爭法,美利堅聯邦憲法,舊金山和平條約,以及台灣關係法,應被美利堅聯邦軍事政府保護下被賦予之人權請願;准予請求人命財產自由等等損害之賠償.
(paragraph3: stating legal sources for the petition)
The US, being the major World War II conqueror of the Japan Empire; and the USMG having effective territorial jurisdiction over Formosa and the Pescadores; should remove the current Ma regime, that is, the Chinese nationalist KMT regime; and that is, the exile-ROC governing authorities on Taiwan, from their more than six decades' rulings over Formosa and the Pescadores.
美利堅聯邦,乃第二次世界大戰對日本帝國之主要戰勝國; 美利堅聯邦軍事政府至今仍為福爾摩沙暨澎湖群島等之法理管轄者,自有權力與義務將今之馬政府,此乃中國國民黨,亦乃"中華民國在台灣流亡政府",自福爾摩沙暨澎湖群島撤離.

Whereas, the ROC authority should be returned to the People's Republic of China in Beijing along with the ROC-controlled islands of Kinmen/Matsu; We hereby further petition the USMG to establish a successor government, a Formosan Civil Government of the Formosan people, by the Formosan people and for the Formosan people.
例而言, "中華民國流亡政府"理應挾其金門與馬祖兩島,撤回中國,與北京成立之中華人民共和國合併,結束內戰,以達成其統一之最瑧目標.
(paragraph5: stating the de jure process for unification of the ROC and the PRC)
We hereby further petition that a new constitution for the Formosan Civil Government be drafted for public discussion and be voted onto the law of the land, that is, an act due to the Formosan people, in accordance with the principle of self-determination under Article 73 of The United Nations Charter.
吾等更進一步請願,為福爾摩沙平民政府頒憲, 福爾摩沙子民得以經由討論,求取共識,並公投入憲.此乃根據聯合國大憲章第七十三章,人民自決自治之崇高精神.
(paragraph6: re: UN Charters, chapter 73, self determination and self governing)
Citizens of Formosa shall deserve equal protections by their new constitution; shall respect the rules of law; shall have the rights to their long desire and pursuit of life, liberty, and prosperity, with justice for all.
凡福爾摩沙公民,自應被其憲法賦予平等保護之權; 自應尊守憲法等法律規章; 自應享有全體子民長遠以來追求渴望保障生命,自由,財產,以及公義之權利.
(paragraph7: statement of rights and goal, purpose)
Our fellow Formosan, being islanders like other islanders of the world, are peace and freedom lovers. The Formosan people deserve a free, secure, bright, fearless and democratic future, and are eager to help by bringing and maintaining peace, stability and prosperity to the Western Pacific region.

Subject: Chinese Problem! #1000 < Re: 台灣問題!
-------------------------------
[Tsai 09.1.2=5 #1 09#2] Dear CK: Of course we all know this is a "Chinese Problem"! They should have been elevated to a bright civilization respecting human rights, with a long and continous history and culture, even if without direct tradition of ancient Greek democracy and freedom (until perhaps the Christian conquest of the West, sinking into dark ages and all kinds of horors, now they have to cope with the Islam also from the Mideastern deserets.) It is difficult to understand why Falunggung is so threatening, they are Chinese, with or without CIA and so on. Dalai Lama is a great spiritual leader, with rational and reasonable thinkings. Why cannot he be a precious friend of China? Isn't China big, wise, powerful, and dynamic enough? There are indeed many questions about Chinese Problem! Could we Formosans help them in any way? They have forgiven their past deadly, murderous, and treachorous enemy, the Chiang gang, which should be welcomed back to China.
As a part of East Asian Sinic Civilization, related directly with China, Japan, and the West, we the Formosans could be a powerful media for the future of China and all the oversea Chinese.
I hope, Taiwan Republic, your lawsuit team, my idea of Formosa Federation, or all other Formosans ready to raise our national flag and anthem, could include my above ideas included in all their publie proclamation. They would be a new world Declaration of Freedom for all humans of the 21st Century. Cf. my blog: http://bbcwebb.blogspot.com

Subject: 台灣問題!
“台灣問題Taiwan question”
中國與美國外交史上出現提及「台灣問題Taiwan question」的文件，一九七二年二月二十八日美中上海公報提及：”The United States reaffirms its interest in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves.”另外，在雷根總統當政時，一九八二年七月間提出”六大保證Six Assurances to Taiwan”其中第五項：”The United States would not alter its position about the sovereignty of Taiwan which was that the question was one to be decided peacefully by the Chinese themselves.” 茲分析其有關question之定義如下：
所謂question是指「爭論中的議題，被開放討論或進行調查」，英語解釋為”A subject or aspect that is in dispute, open for discussion or to be inquired into”美國政府不使用”Taiwan issue”或者”Taiwan problem”而引用”Taiwan question”是別有用心與奧妙之處。美國政府的立場是一再提醒兩邊的中國政權（與臺灣人無渋），在互稱擁有台灣領土主權的爭論中，務必以和平理性的方式去「調查與研究」，台灣領土主權之「法理主權de jure sovereignty」的歸屬，既然有”question”存在，就必然有”answer”答案。 "

'台灣平民政府081231聲明'
'Taiwan Civil Government Announcement': Dec. 31, 2008
: "" 流亡中國（中華民國）政府代表人馬英九先生，2008年12月15日借用其軍事佔領地台灣，宣佈正式與中國人民共和國啟動「三通直航」，並表示：「兩岸直行所代表的意義，一方面代表兩岸（兩個中國，不含台灣在內）的和解，不再走過去對立衝突的路線，不論是戒急用忍或者是有效管理，都走進了歷史，我們（兩個中國，不含台灣在內）現在面對的是一個歷史的新局（讓台灣人不再被中國人困擾）˙˙˙」
On Dec. 15, 2008, the representative of the Republic of China (ROC) government in exile, Mr. Ma Ying-jeou, as the subordinate military occupier of Taiwan, announced the opening of the three links with the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC), and remarked that direct flights between both sides of the Taiwan Strait represent an important step in the reconciliation between both countries, and the elimination of mutual enmity. In the future, with the recognition that the misunderstandings of the past have been swept away, both sides look forward to increased levels of participation in all activities, and the dawn of a new era for China .
台灣平民政府對於馬先生這段談話必須表示讚揚，下一階段，希望流亡中華民國與中華人民共和國儘速簽署「兩邊和平協定」，結束中國內戰，流亡中國政府能夠安然返回中國本土。
The Taiwan Civil Government fully approves of Mr. Ma’s comments, and urges the ROC and the PRC to sign a formal peace accord, which can serve to end the period of the Chinese Civil War. After this is done, it is hoped that the ROC can speedily return to its remaining sovereign territories of Kinmen and Mazu.
台灣領土上的台灣人素來未曾與中國人有怨仇，無必要追求和解，也無須要無辜面對襲擊「流亡中國（中華民國）政府」的千餘顆飛彈，雙方啟動「三通直航」後，在臺灣流亡的中國人，已經無繼續留在台灣領土的任何理由，台灣人籲請流亡中國（中華民國）政府早日返回中國本土，還給台灣人安和樂利的一片天。
The people of Taiwan have never had any arguments or hostilities with China , and therefore need make no reconciliations. While the PRC has over 1000 missiles aimed at Taiwan , those are due to the presence of the ROC government in exile on Taiwanese soil, and do not directly involve the native Taiwanese people. After the opening of the three links, there is no longer any need for the ROC government in exile to remain in Taiwan, and the native Taiwanese people look forward to the ROC government in exile’s early departure, to return to its China motherland, and leave the Taiwanese people to build up their island’s economy and democracy under their own initiatives.

: "" New research into language evolution suggests most Pacific populations originated in Taiwan around 5,200 years ago.
Scientists at The University of Auckland have used sospisticated computer analyses on vocabulary from 400 Austronesian languages to uncover how the Pacific was settled.
"The Austronesian language family is one of the largest in the world, with 1200 languages spread across the Pacific," says Professor Russell Gray of the Department of Psychology. "The settlement of the Pacific is one of the most remarkable prehistoric human population expansions. By studying the basic vocabulary from these languages, such as words for animals, simple verbs, colours and numbers, we can trace how these languages evolved. The relationships between these languages give us a detailed history of Pacific settlement."
"Our results use cutting-edge computational methods derived from evolutionary biology on a large database of language data," says Dr Alexei Drummond of the Department of Computer Science. "By combining biological methods and linguistic data we are able to investigate big-picture questions about human origins".
The results, published in the latest issue of the prestigious journal Science, show how the settlement of the Pacific proceeded in a series of expansion pulses and settlement pauses. The Austronesians arose in Taiwan around 5,200 years ago. Before entering the Philippines, they paused for around a thousand years, and then spread rapidly across the 7,000km from the Philippines to Polynesia in less than one thousand years. After settling Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, the Austronesians paused again for another thousand years, before finally spreading further into Polynesia eventually reaching as far as New Zealand, Hawaii and Easter Island.
"We can link these expansion pulses to the development of new technology, such as better canoes and social techniques to deal with the great distances between islands in Polynesia," says Research Fellow Simon Greenhill. "Using these new technologies the Austronesians and Polynesians were able to rapidly spread through the Pacific in one of the greatest human migrations ever. This suggests that technological advances have played a major role in the spread of people throughout the world."

'慰安婦有兩種' ◎ 甄生 自由時報 2008-12-28
: " 筆者認為...必須所有慰安婦都要一視同仁，因為台灣慰安婦有兩種，一種是日軍台籍慰安婦，一種是國軍台籍慰安婦，兩種都是弱勢族群，...。
自古以來，強勢民族蹂躪異族的婦女是一種「理所當然」，蹂躪自己的同胞婦女才是不可原諒。...從民國四十年開始，政府為了解決軍人性的問題，不管是外島或台灣，到處設立軍中樂園（也稱八三一，後來改為軍中茶室），這些所謂的軍中樂園女服務生，就是跟...日軍慰安婦是一模一樣的。這些慰安婦進來的管道有好多種，有的是向貧家女的父母買來的，有的是妓女志願的，其中最多的是私娼被警察抓到送來的，尤其那些十四、五歲還沒有資格拿到公娼執照的私娼，一被抓到，必定被送到前線的軍中樂園當慰安婦，以避免逃亡。
民國四十年代後期，筆者在軍中擔任醫務工作，曾經在軍中樂園醫務室輪值時看過一個十六歲小女孩每天哭啼，原來她是在萬華寶斗里當私娼，那一年軍中慰安婦不夠，警務處下令掃蕩私娼，結果抓到一大批妓女送到軍中樂園，這個十六歲小女孩就是其中之一。我問她還不是一樣賺錢，為何那麼傷心，她說，一天對付幾十個年輕力壯的阿兵哥吃不消，下體疼痛也不能請假（除非是性病），在私娼寮客人沒那麼多，單價又高五、六倍，在軍中樂園等於囚犯在受刑。
筆者依軍中樂園的家數、人數及期間（從民國四十年代初期到六十年代末期）推估，在軍中樂園服務過的慰安婦起碼超過一萬人（國防部一定有資料），扣掉已經凋零的，現在尚健存的起碼還有好幾千人。這些慰安婦和日軍慰安婦情況是相同的，...。（作者為醫師） ""

游錫堃、台聯黨主席黃昆輝、多位民進黨及台聯立委到場，眾人揮舞「台灣國」旗幟，在「台灣翠青」這首認定的台灣國歌歌聲中，看著「台灣國」的旗幟升起。
游錫堃表示，依民進黨八月做的民調，七成民眾自稱是台灣人，外省族群也有近四成自認是台灣人，「台灣要獨立」是主流民意，絕非偏激議題，希望民眾支持民進黨的「長昌配」，做自己的主人，也把台灣送進聯合國。

黃昆輝指出，「既然已發動公投，無論如何一定要通過，不能讓國際錯誤解讀，否則台灣將付出慘痛代價！」 ""

: "" 中華民國這個政府的政權，自1949年10月1日起，已被中國共產黨所成立的中華人民共和國政府推翻消滅了，中華民國這個政府在聯合國所代表中國的國家主權，也於1971年10月25日被撤換，由中華人民共和國政府所繼承。中華民國政府在國際社會，自此終止代表中國主權國家的身分，降格淪落為不是國家的政府，或頂多是一個準國家政府的組織型態。
台灣人至今，尚未宣佈脫離中華民國體制，制憲建國。台灣人尚未制定，並實施ㄧ部屬於台灣人的台灣國憲法，以台灣國憲法建構台灣國體制，組成台灣國政府，再以台灣國政府，代表台灣人在國際社會，行使台灣國國家主權。到目前為止，無論是台灣人個人，或是台灣人團體組織或是政府團體代表，一出海關，就受到蹧蹋、凌辱，猶如無照流動攤販，在國際社會的商場中討生活，到處遭受取締一樣，過著沒有國家主權尊嚴的流浪生活。 "

RE: [GlobalForumIntl] 美國對台灣的新任務!

美國對台灣的新任務
二零零七年八月美國國務院聲明：「the Republic of China is an undecided issue」，如果將”undecided issue”翻譯或解讀成「未定之議題」，實在與原來美國政府的原意相差甚多，首先以英文解讀：an undecided issue ＝an unsettled dispute ＝a dispute to be settled 中華民國（ROC）不是一個有待論的「話題」，而是一個有待解決的「爭議」。ROC is not a “ topic ”to be discussed but a “ dispute “ to be settled.
在台灣的中國人聽到聲明後，都沾沾自喜，將之解讀成「美國認為中華民國尚未滅亡，其未來還有待討論決定。」這是一廂情願之自我解讀。其實美國政府真正的想法是：「在一個中國政策之下，國際間根本不存在一個自稱合法中國的中華民國」，美國要表達的是：依據上海公報內容，海峽兩岸的中國人都認為中國只有一個，雙方（台灣人在外）沒有爭議，也都主張台灣是中國之ㄧ部分，雙方（臺灣人在外）間也沒有爭議。然而，所謂的爭議issue就是在「誰才是中國？」雙方至今還在為「一中各表」爭論，各自稱自己才是中國，外交方面也互爭，稱自己是合法中國，儘管如此，國際上都認定中華人民共和國為中國，沒有爭議。流亡在台灣的中華民國自稱中國，是有爭議的，這些就是一個有待解決的爭議（undecided issue），「一個中國」認定的爭議。
太平洋戰後，美國國務卿萊斯對台灣的「管轄當局」提醒（remind）：「美國與台灣還有關係」，因為，美國對台灣領土的戰後之戰爭責任並沒有結束，美國是法治國家，美國會「依法處理台灣」。台灣人已經依照戰爭法成立「台灣平民政府Taiwan civil government」，中國政府應該始料未及，美國軍事政府雖然尚未承認，這是屬於「政治問題」，美國政府與台灣平民政府間屬於何種層次之關係，尚未出現在「美中建交」公報之規範內，雖然現今有三個美中公報，美國政府和目前「台灣當局」也維繫某種關係往來，未來應該逐漸和台灣平民政府密切聯繫，流亡中華民國以美國軍事政府之代理人身分將會被停止，美國政府在台灣領土應有兩個新任務：
（一） 法理任務。代理美軍事政府負維和責任，並協助保證台灣平民政府的完全建立。
（二） 政治任務。擔任美國在西太平洋的前哨，牽制中國共產黨無限奴役世界人民的野心。

台灣領土和美國軍事政府之關係

""" 台灣領土和美國軍事政府之關係
美國高等（上訴）法院，即將在二零零九年二月五日召開【林志昇等控美政府案】言詞辯論，其中一項：「領土問題，是否為政治或法律問題？」
訴訟案中筆者曾引用：“status resulting from prior action”— 這裡的“status” 是指美國「主要佔領權國」。訴訟到今天為止，美國或法院都沒有提出異議，有關（一）在舊金山和約，美國對台灣是主要佔領權國。（二）從一九五二年到今天，沒有任何總統的行政命令、條約或法律，是改變美國對台灣主要佔領權國身份。而在台灣戰爭史上，發生的事實是：（一）一九四五年八月十五日日本無條件投降，在日本台灣領土上的軍隊，依盟軍最高統帥（SCAP）於九月二日頒布「一般命令第一號」，向盟軍代表蔣介石投降，中國軍隊也依照「戰爭期間協議（開羅與波次坦宣言）」，被分配佔領屬於日本四島外之海外領土台灣與澎湖，並且在當年十月二十五日至一九四七年五月十六日間，以「台灣省行政長官公署」名義軍管台灣；此後至一九四九年十二月六日間以「台灣省政府」名義，及至一九五二年四月二十七日（舊金山和約生效前），繼續執行「分配佔領」台灣領土。
中國政權（Chinese authority）以任何名義管轄台灣領土，都只是被美國軍事政府（USMG）所委託的性質。中國流亡以前，佔領台灣領土只是單純「中國軍事政府佔領」，然而，後來中國政府開始流亡，「雙重身份」混淆了台灣地位本來面目。
舊金山和約生效，日本依該約2b條放棄台灣領土主權（territorial right），美國是日本的「征服者conqueror」，依23條為Principal occupying power，有權利執行台灣領土佔領，是當然的「收受者」。
條約生效後，美國本來應自中國軍事政府手上取回佔領權，卻因共產黨赤化亞洲，政治考量沒有親自（as principal）來台執行佔領管轄，而是委託中國軍事政府和流亡中國就地代理（as agent）。
ㄧ九七九年台灣關係法，美國以「台灣當局the governing authority on Taiwan」取代「流亡中國」，美國仍然控管台灣，「流亡政府」依然是「代理」關係，「台灣平民政府」與美國之間，才會有「法理」關係，美國司法將會還原台灣地位真相，天佑台灣!

: "" 這個標題不是危言聳聽，而是前海牙「國際法院」法官小田滋（Shigeru Oda）兩年前所著《主權獨立國家的「台灣」——台灣在國際法中的地位》一書（台北國際文化基金會出版）的核心觀點。在馬政府全面親中，民進黨高層在台灣主權方向問題上舉棋不定，還有些綠營人士到美國打官司，要把台灣納入美國之際，實有必要重溫一下這位國際法專家對台灣前途的看法。
日本學者小田滋是資深的國際法專家，做過二十七年（連任三屆）聯合國「國際法院」法官（還曾任副院長），並曾任日本國際法協會會長。他對台灣的事務也很熟悉，早年曾隨祖父來台，在台灣長大並接受教育，和李登輝、辜寬敏、邱永漢等都是校友。他的這本書中，有三個觀點特別值得重視：
「台灣屬於中國」毫無法律根據
第一，他認為北京所謂「台灣是中華人民共和國的一部分」的說法，是毫無法律根據的政治幻想。這位法學專家指出，從任何國際法的觀點來看，「大陸與台灣都是兩個獨立主權國家。」之所以出現兩岸互不承認，和聯合國的五大常任理事國概念有關，因常任理事國的席位不能由兩國分享。而普通會員國，像當年的東西德和今天的南北韓都是普通成員，就可各享一個聯合國席位。當然首先，東西德、南北韓，都相互承認對方是政治實體。小田滋指出，聯合國當年決定由北京代表「中國」席位，絕對不是在「台灣是中華人民共和國的一部分」的前提下做成的；該決議只是解決中國代表權問題，沒有提到台灣（地位和前途）。「中華民國離開聯合國，但其實際上的主權國家地位毫無動搖。」因為國際法上的國家包括「土地、人民、政府」，或加上「外交能力」等要素。但有多少邦交國，不是關鍵因素。小田滋特別舉例說，日本和北韓就沒有外交關係，但這根本不能影響北韓是一個國家。今天，美國和古巴也沒有外交，但古巴仍是個國家，這都是常識。小田滋認為，今天台灣無法加入聯合國，不是因為台灣不是主權國家，而是因為北京阻止台灣做為主權國家擁有外交關係，各國基於對中國的現實考量，或恐懼北京而導致不敢承認台灣。說到底，這不是法律問題，而是專制中國在國際上封殺民主台灣的政治問題。
二戰結束時沒抓住獨立機會
第二，台灣必須通過制憲正名，成為正常國家。小田滋認為，從國際法角度，台灣和對岸的中國毫無隸屬關係，所以根本不存在台灣從中華人民共和國獨立的問題，只存在「台灣人從中華民國、國民黨獨立」的問題。他認為台灣的前途應該是通過制定一部新憲法，修改國號，使台灣成為一個正常的國家。他還提到，他和校友李登輝前總統見過面。李曾強調，「台灣無須從中華人民共和國獨立，原本就是獨立國家。」但這種說法只是解決了台灣和對岸中國的關係，而沒有解決台灣和中華民國的關係。李登輝後來提出的「兩國論」，仍是維持中華民國擁有台灣。
小田滋不無遺憾地指出，日本當年放棄台灣時，台灣建立一個「獨立的台灣國」並非不可能，但台灣沒有在國際上做此主張的卓越政治家，沒有印度的甘地那種領導者，而且很多台灣人還視國民黨抵台為「光復」，毫無抵抗地接受了當時法律上並不擁有台灣主權的中華民國。今天台灣的制憲正名、成為正常國家的進程，由於馬上台、國民黨全面親中而更加艱難，但只有「台灣從中華民國、國民黨獨立出來」的必要性被更多的民眾明白，深入人心（尤其是台灣的政治家），才會在有歷史機會時，變成事實。
把國民黨趕到金門馬祖
第三，國民黨強調「一個中國」是自欺不能欺人。小田滋以日本為例說，日語的「中國」這兩個字，和漢語的書寫一模一樣。原本的所謂「中國」是歷史、文化的概念，而不是國際法的概念。但隨著北京在聯合國獲得「中國」代表權，再加上近年其經濟和軍事崛起，不要說國際社會，即使台灣的近鄰，並對台灣好感的日本國民，也多認為「中國」是中華人民共和國，而不是台灣的中華民國。所以，無論馬政府再怎麼強調一個中國就是中華民國，不僅沒用，而且突出了「中國」，就等於突出了北京，矮化了台灣。因此小田滋提出「兩中一台」的構想：中華人民共和國統治大陸，中華民國遷到金門、馬祖；台灣人擁有台灣。這樣，國民黨回到法律意義上屬於中華民國的金門、馬祖，他們和北京的中國是喊「一中各表」，還是終極統一，都隨他們的便；讓台灣人擁有自己的土地和國家。
這個「兩中一台」的構想國民黨當然不可能同意，他們一定會死死地抱住台灣不放。但只要國民黨跟對岸的共產黨扯不清，台灣人的命運就等於掌握在對岸手裡；而只要台灣跟「中華民國」扯不清，「台灣」就不會見天日，只會被中國籠罩。所以，從中華民國和國民黨獨立出來才是綠營的方向。 ""

'終於將美國務院拉上最高法院' ◎ 林志昇, The Liberty Times, 自由廣場, Jul8,2009:
http://tinyurl.com/Lin-v-USA-7-8
: "" 二○○九年七月六日上午十一時（當地時間），美律師肯浦親自將「林志昇等控告美政府案」向美最高法院「遞件」，法院受理，美最高法院對「文書」要求嚴格，首先，規定文字不得超過九千字，規定紙張跟格式，字型與字體都必須符合要求，甚至，律師團須讓「專業」打字公司作業，真是開了眼界，法院一年接受八千五百個案子，其中「提審」一百五十件，這次是台灣人的首次。
本案與律師團共同研究下，一致認為被高院「提審」的可能性非常高，第一：自從一八九八年美西戰爭後，經過一百多年，沒有被美軍事政府佔領，至今還沒有得到「身分」的地區，訴求美政府「欺負」的案例。第二：地方和高等法院，不得以「政治問題」躲避或迴避，其對本土台灣人在「條約下」或「憲法下」之權利，負有「解釋」上的義務。第三：最高法院解釋憲法案子，都有政治上的涉及，而解釋條約也同樣，最高法院的任務是要從法律的角度去審理，不是從政治角度，而且，最高法院有權力解釋總統所簽的協議書，也經常解釋國會通過的法律內涵。第四：美國最高法院曾判決，憲法有關戰爭事務與外交事務，其重點放在總統決策上，但是，有關個人的權利，是由行政與立法及司法三方面去斟酌，而確立憲法下個人基本人權保障，這是司法問題，不是政治問題。第五：本案訴求：地方與高等法院認定「本土台灣人無國籍」，因此，憲法第五修正案，包括美國核發的旅行證件；第八修正案，本土台灣人「不能落為」無國籍，第十四修正案，不能剝奪生命自由和財產，除非有正當法律程序；第一修正案，台灣人民向美國政府陳情的基本權利。
台灣絕對不會是美國的五十一州，本案是要求美國讓本土台灣人（people of Taiwan），依照聯合國憲章第七十三條的「自治self-government」精神，協助成立「台灣平民政府」，而不是讓「台灣關係法」的「台灣人people on Taiwan」繼續以模糊的「台灣當局Taiwan authority」，讓本土台灣人生活在「無國籍」、「無政府」跟「政治煉獄 in political purgatory」中。（作者為「福爾摩莎法理建國會」成員，http://taiwancivilgovernment.ning.com/） ""

' 邀扁作証 法理建國會投震撼彈 '
http://tinyurl.com/A-Bien-Lin-v-USA
: "" (記者林蓮華/羅斯密市報導)「林志昇等控美政府案」，於7月2日呈文美國聯邦最高法院，由於美國最高法院採文書申論作業，因此林志昇等人同時申請「聽証會」，而第一位証人列名邀請前陳水扁總統，無疑在僑界又投下一顆震撼彈。
針對此案進展，2日(週四)，南加州、北加州、及日本同步舉行記者會聲援大表支持，希望陳前總統能勇敢地為國、為民、為後代子孫三思，簽下「聽証出席同意書」。
當日，會員及鄉親紛紛慷慨陳詞，希望一旦最高法院受理時，阿扁能挺身而出作証，重新帶領台灣人，衝破美國法官所說地「政治煉獄」的牢籠。
這招是否能為阿扁目前面臨司法不公「解套」? 屆時，真的能來美國作証嗎?「福爾摩沙法理建國會」南加分會會長蔡明法指出：「証人需簽下同意書，但阿扁現在更怕馬政府變本加厲『抄家滅族』、甚至危及自身安全，有所顧忌還在考慮中。但我們大家期待他能慎重地為大局思考，『台灣地位的真相』他比任何人最能感同深受，台灣的未來，也許在法理上而非政治上，經過聽証會，能夠有機會在國際上，被公平的對待。」
他說明此案來龍去脈，林志昇等人控告案，經美國聯邦地方法院2008年3月18日裁定、高等法院2009年4月7日判定，「台灣人無國籍、無被承認的政府，人民生活在『政治煉獄』。」但兩層級法院最後皆以「政治問題」迴避解釋權，但鼓勵依法可上訴。
林志昇等人遂於2009年7月2日上訴最高法院，蔡明法解釋：「之前美國高等法院挑選受理案件的比例是0.003，一千件只挑選3件，幸運地我們通過受理；如今，再到最高法院上訴的案件多是極具爭議性，主旨是讓9位大法官釋憲，受理比例也是0.003-0.005。」
一旦聯邦最高法院受理，未來的審判結果，將成為各級法院援用的判例，具有指標性作用。林志昇等人在上訴書強調，此案件法院有義務從法律角度審理，而非政治角度。
最高法院因應此案的方式，包括駁回、案件發回高等法院，及受理。若是上訴此案能放著一年半載，反而是「好徵兆」，拉得越久，表示最高法院正慎重考慮，台美兩方糾葛的法律問題所代表的意義。
「福爾摩沙法理建國會」秘書長曾輝光認為，自1945年，64年以來，美國的附屬土地歸屬案件，目前沒有最新判例，台灣是二次世界大戰「美日太平洋戰區」軍事管轄遺留下的問題，加上最近伊拉克、波多黎各等情事，此案「可看性夠」，預計法官接受審理機會大增。
但是，這與陳水扁總統有何關係? 原來，最高法院只接受「書面」資料，為文只得精簡扼要，因此，同時申請『聽証會』，將有助於讓其間原委多個機會全面釐清。而陳水扁前總統是2006年訴訟案開始時當時在位總統，對於美國是不是台灣「政治藏鏡人」? 美國幕後影響台灣有多深? 陳前總統最清楚，所以邀請他做第一位証人，未來，也許還會邀請李登輝前總統。
據理力爭，萬一被駁回或發回，與會代表都認為，「輸也是贏、贏也是贏」，所謂” 輸” ，美國必需承認台灣不屬其管轄範圍，屆時議題將重回日本國土，也為此案後續發展，留下伏筆。
不論同意或喜歡與否，歷史的真相只有一個，若有興趣關注細節者，歡迎聯絡蔡明法 ""

: "" 〔記者謝文華／台北報導〕林志昇控美案將於美國時間六日由律師親自遞狀上訴美國最高法院。福爾摩莎法理建國會今天上午十一點，同步於美國、日本召開四場國際記者會。
美國過去已有三十二個成功判例，透過最高法院判決，釐清戰後美國佔領區主權爭議。此案創下首次有台灣人為了爭取主權、人權，控告美國政府，更罕見獲美國聯邦地方法院、高等法院接下審理，一路打到最高法院，深受國際關注。
舊金山記者會由旅美同鄉會成員王榮義、李登輝之友會美西婦女部主委黃惠瑛負責；洛杉磯場次由民進黨美西主委蔡明法召開；大阪及東京記者會，分別由大阪日台交流協會理事長野口一、日本腦科醫師曾根憲昭主持。
原告林志昇說，他要求最高法院聽證會傳訊前總統陳水扁作證其執政八年，美國運作台灣主權事實，經陳家人答覆，陳前總統看過同意書不敢簽，怕全家遭政治追殺。
林志昇認為，舊金山和約並未確立台灣主權歸屬，美國為台灣主要佔領權國，至今擱置台灣主權爭議，導致台灣人人權遭受侵害，美國應儘快扶植台灣平民政府建國。
聯邦地方法院去年三月十八日判定：「台灣人無國籍」；高等法院今年四月七日判定：「台灣人無國籍、無被承認之政府、人民生活在政治煉獄。」法院文書可見網站http://taiwancivilgovernment.ning.com/。
其上訴最高法院理由在於，地方法院和高等法院，不得以「政治問題」躲避或迴避，其對個人在「條約下」或「憲法下」所屬之權利，並負有「解釋」上的義務。

"" Protests greet U.S. minesweepers 美日聯手「防」台？
Ishigaki mayor asked Obama to cancel port visit
By Chiyomi Sumida, Stars and Stripes
Pacific edition, Sunday, April 5, 2009
Denver Applehans/Courtesy of the U.S. Navy
Sailors from the deck department of the USS Patriot, a minesweeper, haul lines Friday to moor the ship to the pier at the Ishigaki port facility. The Patriot and the USS Guardian arrived Friday for a three-day port visit. Their arrival was attended by nearly 100 protestors objecting to the visit.
A goodwill port visit by two U.S. Navy minesweepers at Ishigaki was greeted Friday by a ripple of protesters who blocked the port gate and demanded the vessels leave.
About 100 protesters rallied Friday morning near the pier, preventing about 84 sailors aboard the ships from disembarking and Navy and local officials from entering the dock, said Ishigaki police and port officials.
The island, 465 miles southwest of Okinawa, is home to about 48,000 residents and is a popular tourist destination.
The 7th Fleet minesweepers USS Patriot and USS Guardian, both out of Sasebo Naval Base, Japan, arrived around 8:30 a.m. Friday for a scheduled three-day liberty call, said Lt. Cmdr. Denver Applehans, spokesman for the Amphibious Force Seventh Fleet public affairs.
"They can certainly protest," Applehans said. "We believe in freedom of speech just like the Japanese do."
The sailors are scheduled to participate in a community service project and cultural events, but residents have said the presence of warships makes them nervous.
The U.S. visit sparked a protest campaign launched last month by Ishigaki Mayor Nagateru Ohama, who said the military presence would disrupt the port’s commercial and tourist use. He even wrote to President Barack Obama.
The port call, initially scheduled April 1-3, was pushed back by two days after Ohama objected, saying the space had been scheduled for cruise ships.
Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima said in a statement Friday that the port should be strictly for commercial use unless there is an emergency.
Protesters rallied for nearly nine hours, voluntarily clearing out and dwindling in numbers to around 20 before the gate was opened around 5 p.m., city port officials said. Police reported no injuries and no arrests.
U.S. consul general to Okinawa Kevin Maher was at the port to welcome the ships and help coordinate an exchange between local government and U.S. Navy officials, said consul spokesman Thomas Kreutzer.
"It is absolutely ordinary. We do ship visits all over Japan all the time, so this isn’t anything special," Kreutzer said.

美日聯手「防」台？
◎ 賴怡忠
近日媒體大幅報導美日有意駐軍與那國島，認為這是針對中國軍力擴張，以及回應島上居民的請求。但進一步分析，駐軍與那國島更可能表示美日對台灣未來戰略動向的疑慮，與其說針對中國，不如說是針對台灣！
與那國島的位置在緯度上與花蓮十分接近，天候好時甚至從該島可目視花蓮，其居民常在假日到花蓮購物，也有子女來花蓮唸書，可說是距離台灣最近的日本領土。因與那國被花蓮屏障，既不面對中國，與菲律賓更有相當距離，但卻要加強軍力，理由只有兩種可能。
第一，是美日認為台海出現衝突的機會非常高，開戰後中國進出台灣東岸的可能性很大，因此需要在花蓮東側的與那國強化部署。這意味馬政府有關兩岸緊張降低，台海情勢已穩的主張，美日並不買帳，所以才在花蓮外海積極佈兵以備萬一。
第二，是美日認為馬政府的台灣出現根本的戰略轉向，美日必須對未來與中國發生衝突時台灣可能和中國站同邊，先預作準備。事實上，從去年馬政府表示在釣魚台議題考慮發動對日戰爭，並有意縱容國民黨「聯中制日」的呼聲，國安會更主張放棄制空與制海的消極防禦，以及最近刻意抵制日本代表的作為等，不僅日本懷疑馬政府的戰略動向，美國戰略圈也開始質疑台灣的芬蘭化。在這個思考下，「美日同盟」無法將台灣視為盟友。既然台灣可能會與對手合作，花蓮曾扮演的屏障作用消失，與那國不僅成為衝突前線，更須用以監視台灣作為。
不論美日駐軍與那國島，是基於擔心台灣還是要監視台灣，都與馬政府的宣傳不符。年底日本將公布防衛政策大綱，明年更是美日同盟五十週年，屆時美日意圖將更明朗。但從美國P3-C反潛精密偵測儀器在台組裝承諾跳票一事可知，台北已成為戰略不確定因子。在馬政府親中遠美反日政策的操作下，台灣從美日合作的朋友，變為要防禦的對象，與那國的美日佈兵似預告改變的第一步！ （作者為台灣智庫執行委員）

[Tsai 09.7.1=3 #1] Ron, thank you for classifying me as a Tawanese aboriginal. Lately I have been back into our "old home" in the USA, 4th or 5th: 1st hometown Hsinbu, 2nd city nearby Hsinju, 3rd 1st Taipei Two-city St., 4th Fremont, CA, USA or 5th, 5th 2nd Taipei Neihu (Inner Lake district of Taipei). My small family used to live here with my parents. Then dad gone, so did sister-in-law in LA. So mom moved to LA . Lately, we are preparing for our dad's centennial art exhibition in Taijung (Taiwan Center city). So we gathered at this Fremont home, brother went back to Neihu home first, leaving old mom here, I started to stay here day and night, getting this better computer and Internet connection.
I still don't know what blog exactly is, but I have been using it as I don't have Ron's brain. Day after day I put my memory into my blog, helping me to respond to emails and so on. The latest input is about our old character, Representative Ron Paul from Texas, who is up seriously over Fed, without being in the minority or the only one as usual. It looks like there is a limitedless space in a blog. In comparison to very short Twitter or NetFace? Yes, there is Obama, and there is still Paul, how strange can we get! This is not cross inputting, but please refer to Conflict forum.
So I have time to compile important documents for brother to take to Taiwan first, as a list, but becoming a rather detailed dad's and family's biological chronology, including historical items on Taiwanese non-government local self-rule roots, and Taiwanese peoples dna hereditary oceanic roots. For example, from the beginning of my chronology:

""Dear All:
How do you think about this article??? Something that we do not know is behind us and controls the Formosan affairs???

Bank for International Settlements (Financial Stability Board in Basel, Switzerland)
http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/BIG-BROTHER-IN-BASEL-DID-by-Ellen-Brown-090623-171.html
The article in the link provides more evidence that Bilderberg International (Bank of International Settlements/Financial Stability Fund) is behind ROC and TI movement. Their HQ is in Switzerland (see the picture). This may explain why Switzerland court supported ROC’s claim over the sovereignty of Taiwan last year. They are behind TI and self-determination under ROC, knowing that it is not the real government and they can control it from behind the scene without legal consequences. They are watching and oppose Lin’s group, but may change their position if the lawsuit moves forward. "View from Taiwan " may be their website.
A more serious problem is Bilderberg-USA wants to control USA ’s and all other major countries’ money supply through Obama’s economy team, which proposed to expand the role of its international counterpart, (BIS/FSF), and disguised it as a global financial regulatory agency. BIS/FSF has caused at least a major financial crisis in Japan and other similar crises in Southeast Asia and South America . Even Paul Krugman, the Nobel-prized economist whose theory is the backbone of Obama’s economic recovery plan, called for a total replacement of Obama’s economic team members, which cannot regulate the group they belong to. What’s scary is the Congress’s hearing on the Federal Reserve Bank sounded weak.
On the 3rd page, there is a short review of law about legally binding treaties under the US Constitution and what the president of USA can do based on his sole decisions. I wonder if this can apply to the passport issue.
Feed back or brain storming, Please???

'BIG BROTHER IN BASEL: BIS FINANCIAL STABILITY BOARD UNDERMINES NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY' Ellen Brown, OpEdNews.com:
http://tinyurl.com/BIS-Overlords
: "" Buried on page 83 of the 89-page Report on Financial Regulatory Reform issued by the U.S. Administration on June 17 is a recommendation that the new Financial Stability Board strengthen and institutionalize its mandate to promote global financial stability. Financial stability is a worthy goal, but the devil is in the details. The new global Big Brother is based in the Bank for International Settlements, a controversial institution that raises red flags among the wary . . . .
... ...
... " more disturbing is the description by Dr. Carroll Quigley of the pivotal role assigned to the BIS in consolidating financial power into a few private hands. Professor Quigley, who was Bill Clinton’s mentor at Georgetown University, claimed to be an insider and evidently knew his subject. He wrote in Tragedy and Hope (1966):
“[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.”
That helps explain the alarm bells that went off among BIS-watchers when the Bank was linked to the new Financial Stability Board (FSB) President Obama signed onto in April. When the G20 leaders met in London on April 2, 2009, they agreed to expand the powers of the old Financial Stability Forum (FSF) into this new Board. The FSF was set up in 1999 to serve in a merely advisory capacity by the G7 (a group of finance ministers formed from the seven major industrialized nations). The chair of the FSF was the General Manager of the BIS. The new FSB has been expanded to include all G20 members (19 nations plus the EU). The G20, formally called the “Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors,” was, like the G7, originally set up as a forum merely for cooperation and consultation on matters pertaining to the international financial system. But its new Financial Stability Board has real teeth, imposing “obligations” and “commitments” on its members. "

Correcting common misstatements of the lawsuit
(Ref: Opinion letter by the Court of Appeals dated April 7th, 2009)
From: R P
美國上訴華府巡迴法院裁定了﹕The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in Lin v USA decided:
1。美國美麗島依照舊金山和平條約已由日本割讓於美國。
The United States Territory of American Formosa was ceded by Japan to the USA in the SFPT (what the Court says, perhaps the Petitioners are correct and a careful parsing of the treaty would show....).
2。所謂未來美國美麗島地區或美國法律術語”台灣“之處置尚未決定﹐非台灣現狀
未決定﹐現狀為以上第一點所稱為美國擁有之現狀法理主權 。
The meaning of the expression that there is an undetermined status refers to the future tense in a predatory, hortatory, or intentional mode, as to "Taiwan", and does not mean the de jure status quo in the present tense is in any way undetermined at all, the first numbered sentence above states the present de jure status quo of Formosa within the sovereignty of the USA.
3。日本於條約明定割讓給美國﹐並非未明定割讓何國﹐未明定之為將來所稱“台灣”
行使自治時之未來走向處置﹐尚未定而已。
Japan clearly declares cession to the US , and there is no ambiguity in this respect, the only undetermined matter is where " Taiwan " will head in a future disposition according to principles of self-determination, in the future which is obviously as yet undetermined.
4。主權沒有模糊﹐卻主權無論何地﹐沒有無主任歸屬之狀態。
Sovereignty is never ambiguous, and there is no land without sovereign title, and sovereignty is always determinable and ascertainable.
5。美麗島是美國所屬(領)土﹐其人民需要效忠美國﹐其所設美國軍事政府卻所稱
“台灣”或“中華民國”或”中華民國 (台灣) “行使美國有效管轄統治行為時﹐需要遵守美國憲法於尚未合併為美國憲法第14條修正案或美國移民與海關相關法則所
稱“境內”之前的相關規定包括不得由檢察官二度控告刑事訴訟(一審審判無罪﹐不
得由檢察官提出上訴二審之)等違反我國憲法事項行為。
Formosa is territory appertaining to the US, the people of which owe their allegiance to the US, and the US military government thereon which is called by the nomenclature of "Taiwan" or the "Republic of China" or the "Republic of China(Taiwan)" is the name by which the US governs Formosa, and in such capacity, when so governing, must abide by the applicable US Constitutional fundamental provisions for unincorporated territories prior to applicability of the 14th amendment for territory within the United States or the several states whereof or within the customs or immigrations statutory definitions of the being within the US for those purposes, such as forbidding prosecutors on Taiwan from engaging in appeals which constitute double jeopardy in criminal cases after an acquittal in the first trial or other unconstitutional acts.
6。美國政府所屬領土之如何統治係美國國會可決定之﹐國會尚未行使憲法權力時﹐則以美國總統為統帥由其任命之方式統治之﹐但也需要遵守美國憲法相關規定等義務。
The territory of the US is governed ultimately at the discretion of the Congress, but until such times as the Congress may act, the President as Commander in Chief may exercise all necessary military government authorities, as may be otherwise fully in conformity with the US Constitution.
7。中華民國不代理美國或為美國統治﹐中華民國本就是美國統治美國美麗島之名稱而已。
The "Republic of China" does not represent the US nor serve as a governing agent for the US , the "Republic of China" is merely the name by which the United States of America governs the United States Territory of American Formosa.

'Why Do They Just Giggle?' Butler Shaffer, author of "Life Is Destroying the Planet!"
http://tinyurl.com/StateDiseases or

: "" ... ...
In more recent discussions of the destructive nature of governmental regulation of the marketplace, or the evil nature of the war system, or of efforts by statists to bring virtually all forms of human activity under political control in order to "save the planet," I am greeted with the same snickering."" ...
The answer, I suspect, is to be found in our conditioned practice of identifying our sense of being with institutions. (I dealt with this topic in my first book, Calculated Chaos: Institutional Threats to Peace and Human Survival.) ... ... we train ourselves to look for meaning in our lives not within ourselves, but in external organized systems that have a vested interest in having us elevate their purposes above our own. It is this practice that is the midwife to all forms of collectivism.
An institution is an organization that has become an end in itself, a condition that can arise only through our thinking; only by regarding the collective as of greater significance than ourselves. We do this through learning to identify ourselves through what Fritz Perls called "ego boundaries," which may embrace our nationality, race, gender, ideology, or other belief systems. By so identifying our sense of purpose and meaning in these abstractions, we set ourselves up to be dominated by the institutions which, we are told, represent such groupings. Whatever individuality we might otherwise have becomes subservient to – and subsumed by – the institutions that thus become our collective identity.
The principal beneficiary of such thinking has been the nation-state. Through years of careful conditioning – conducted through such agencies as the government schools and the entertainment industry – we have been taught to regard the state not only as the fundamental organizing principle, but the raison d’etre for both human beings and society. We learned to recite our daily catechism of purpose to our lives in the form of a "pledge of allegiance" to a flag that was the omnipresent and dominant symbol of the state in our classroom. (Have you ever dissected the literal meaning of this pledge; that you are vowing to become and remain subservient to state authority?)
The media and the rest of the entertainment industry join forces with the schools to provide us a consistent indoctrination in the centrality of statism. We learn to regard obedience to constituted authority as our greatest virtue; to replace morality with legality as our personal standard of conduct. War films – starring the likes of John Wayne, who managed to keep himself out of World War II – brainwash us to believe that dying for the glory of the state is our glory; the concrete meaning of the U.S. Army’s advertisement to "be all you can be, in the Army."
The sadness as well as the unmitigated evil of such practices are reflected in the faces of World War II military veterans, who are trotted out for every holiday – each of which has been converted into an excuse for more war-celebration and John Wayne flicks – to speak of the sacrifices they and others made. To such men – identifiable with their "U.S.S. Missouri" baseball caps, or their "5th Army" shoulder patches – any suggestion that this war was carefully contrived by political and corporate interests, and that FDR manipulated the attack on Pearl Harbor, is met with rage, and understandably so. Having been conditioned to identify themselves with the state, to see their very sense of being tied up with obedience and service to the state, the slightest hint that political forces had conspired to exploit them does more than question the integrity of the state: more importantly, it creates uncertainties as to one’s own moral stature. ""
... ...
"" On a sadder note, at a time when more soldiers are committing suicide than are dying in battle, it is well to remember that, no matter how thoroughly indoctrinated the belief in the superiority of an abstraction, there remains within each of us a powerful life-force that can never be fully repressed. What Gandhi called Satyagraha – a "Truth-force" or "Soul-force" – remains deep within us as, perhaps, the greatest power at work upon each of us. The state – and the civilization it is helping to bring down – will continue to fight this life-force in every conceivable manner, not simply in the war system, but in efforts to regulate even the most miniscule details of life’s expressions.
When the minds and the spirits of men and women combine to address, with intelligence, what we have done to ourselves – and are doing to our children and grandchildren – we may be able to walk away from our roles as servo-mechanisms to state and corporate power interests, and to discover how to live according to that life-force within each of us. To those unable or unwilling to confront the wickedness implicit in their robotic existences, there will be nothing but unfocused anger and giggling to accompany their trip into the awaiting black-hole.

: """ According to Independent Long Island’s Historian James Alcock (he is also our High Commissioner to Canada), when the British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which elevated Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland from colonies to autonomous dominions within the British Commonwealth (not fully independent because their people were still British Subjects), it also gave them the right to secede from the British Commonwealth. They could just declare their independence and leave! They all had the right, but none chose to exercise it at that time. In fact, they all willingly fought on Britain’s side during World War II.
In 1948, Burma seceded after becoming independent, and Ireland seceded in 1949, just before the creation of the Commonwealth of Nations. So the legal right already present in the Statute of Westminster of 1931, was exercised a bit later on. The London Declaration of 1949, which set up the Commonwealth of Nations, recognised the member countries as fully independent, so they had the right to leave the Commonwealth at any time because they were free and independent nations. They could even leave and return. South Africa, Fiji and Pakistan left and rejoined later.
It is interesting to note that the right to secede from the old British Empire was granted in 1931 to the autonomous parts, a full 18 years before the modern Commonwealth of Nations was created in order to accept a fully independent Indian Republic. ""

建國制憲－台灣人唯一活路
台灣人至今尚未建國、制憲，台灣人必須建國，制定一部屬於台灣人的台灣國憲法，以台灣國憲法建構台灣國體制，組成台灣國政府，再以台灣國政府，代表台灣人在國際社會，行使台灣國國家主權。這理由非常明顯，因到目前為止，台灣人在中華民國體制下，無論是個人、團體或政府代表，一出海關，就受到蹧蹋、凌辱，猶如無照流動攤販，在國際社會的商場中討生活，到處遭受取締一樣，過著沒有國家主權尊嚴的流浪生活。這就是因為中華民國體制在作怪。
中華民國本是中國的政權，自1949年10月1日起，已被中國共產黨所建立的中華人民共和國政府推翻消滅了，中華人民共和國的人民也自認中華人民共和國為自己的國家並代表中國。其後，中華民國在聯合國的中國代表權，於1971年10月25日，被中華人民共和國政府取代，而自己則被逐出聯合國。自此，流亡到台灣的中華民國政府，在國際社會上終止代表中國，降格淪落為不是國家的政府，或頂多是一個準國家政府的組織型態。這流亡到台灣的外來中華民國政府，以其外來的中華民國憲法與政府體制，非法佔有台灣又統治台灣人。其公權力的行使，僅及於台灣境內而不及於境外，只能享有內政主權，沒有享有外交主權。因此，中華民國不能算是一個國家，只能算是一個有效運作的政府。
我們常在鄉村訪問農夫農婦說：「阿伯、阿嬸，恁欲做中國人抑是台灣人？」他們都會異口同聲答：「當然嘛是欲做台灣人」，又問：「那按呢，恁欲做中國的台灣人，抑是中華民國的台灣人？」他們也說要作中華民國的台灣人。再問：「那是按呢！恁欲做中華民國台灣人，抑是台灣國台灣人？」他們會困擾的回答：「甘有台灣國？」我們回答說：「如果有台灣國的話，甘有欲做台灣國的台灣人？」他們會很乾脆的說：「若是有台灣國，當然嘛是欲做台灣國的台灣人。」這是基層台灣人普遍的心聲，不僅如此，我們也多次以同樣方式，與國中、高中、大學生等對話，所得結論也是一樣。台灣人的國家名稱，應該叫台灣國，這是簡單道理的普通常識，為什麼藍綠政黨，都不願傾聽人民的心聲，都懼談、懼怕宣佈建國、制憲？
我們要繼續推動1951年9月8日，舊金山和約，日本宣佈放棄台灣主權起，台灣主權即歸屬於台灣人，9月8日，就是台灣主權獨立日，每年9月8日要辦升旗典禮，推動各地方升國旗，家家戶戶插國旗的運動，以提升台灣人的國家意識及建國意志。我個人最近赴美國，在東岸駐留約一年的期間，有機會搭公車、火車或在住家附近社區散步時，有很多感觸，但感觸最深的，莫過於飄過眼前的美國星條國旗，每經過一段路程，就飄現那搶眼的圖騰，有時一連幾棟建築物門前，都有國旗掛在直直的旗杆上，剛開始，以為是公務機關掛的旗，仔細看清楚，才知道大部分都是私人住宅及商店掛的國旗，每看在眼裡，想在心裡，為何美國獨立了二百多年，還有那麼多人想掛國旗？而臺灣人四百多年了，卻還無國旗可掛？國旗是國家主權的象徵，國旗插在那裡，國家的尊嚴就在那裡，國民的榮耀，也在那裡，因此，屢屢發生許多國家的國民或士兵，為了護旗甚至犧牲生命的感人故事。但，已經喪失主權國家身份的，所謂「中華民國的國旗」，自1971年10月25日起，就被禁止出現在國際社會，更離譜的是，有時也被禁止在台灣境內出現。讓台灣人在境內、境外都抬不起頭來，活在無旗可護的環境，失去做為台灣人的尊嚴。所以，台灣人要趕快建國制憲，終結中華民國體制，將台灣人國旗插遍國內土地，將台灣人的國旗掛在聯合國大廈門前國旗排桿上，與世界193個國家平等做朋友，共享主權國家尊榮。
歷史上的1620年冬天，一艘五月花號船，自英國搭載200名不甘受英帝國迫害的英國人，經歷66天，千辛萬苦的橫渡大西洋，從朴茨茅斯登陸時只剩下104人，登陸後一年只剩下53人，他們尋找樂土的冒險精神，以及250萬，從英國移民來美洲，落地生根的美國人，不甘再受英國殖民統治，為爭自由平等，於1776年7月4日宣佈獨立，發動八年的獨立戰爭。在華盛頓、富蘭克林及傑弗遜等奔走領導，犧牲無數生命之下，終能成功建國。但美國獨立之後，因長年政爭，致經濟蕭條，民生困苦，也在華盛頓奔走，調和鼎鼐之下，於1787年9月17日，通過聯邦憲法，才穩定了美國政局，除南北戰爭之外，守護美國二百多年來的自由民主社會，保障美國人富裕經濟的幸福生活。因為一部以民為主的民主憲法，不但是國家安全的守護神，更是人民幸福的平安符。
反思母國台灣，目前處在霸權凌虐生死存亡關鍵的惡劣環境之下，更須要有像美國那樣，視民如殤，有遠見，膽識、魄力，願將生命奉獻給建國的有力領導團隊。一部分先民，同樣於1624年，橫渡黑水溝，冒著「六死三留一回頭」的生命危險，來台尋找樂土，加上數千、萬年來居住於台灣的多數原住民，400年來，屢遭外來政權佔領殖民統治。至今，母親還在暗地哭泣，猶還衣不蔽體，過著流浪國際街頭乞討的日子，而衪的子民，卻還在爭逐黨派個人私利，搶奪中華民國體制丟出來的骨頭，忘了2300萬台灣人，被迫擠上一隻為4億5千萬中國人設計的中華民國憲法號破船，現在水已進艙，眼看就要沈船，我們得趕快建造一艘，專為2300萬台灣人，量身訂作的台灣國憲法號母艦，來引渡保護2300萬台灣人，台灣人要趕快建國、制訂自己的憲法，搭自己造的船，才能活命。
民主國家，政黨成立的目的，在追求取得政權以實現政黨的政治理想。可是有時在取得政權之後，淪於爭權奪利，派系鬥爭而忘了政黨的宗旨。台灣納稅人支持了民進黨十二年，終取得政權。不幸，民進黨執政八年，對建國的創黨宗旨搖擺不定，辜負了人民的期待（民進黨自己也說在基層努力不夠），派系競逐權位，終致被人民唾棄，而失去政權。台灣納稅人白白做工二十年，最後是輸家。我們認為建國運動，除了體制內的努力之外，體制外的奮鬥，說不定更能發揮力量，我們認為，建國運動必須超越藍綠、族群，走在政權、政黨或派系個人的利益前面。社運團體，不是任何政黨的附屬品，必須堅持獨立建國的主體性，將訴求推動成為主流民意後，政權或政黨為了選票，自然會將主流民意列入政見或政策落實，以爭取人民的選票。社運團體目前最重要的事，是推動建國，建構以台灣納稅人為最高利益的台灣憲法機制，約制政黨必須在不違背台灣人的共同利益之下，競逐其政黨利益，也只有在台灣國憲法體制下，台灣才有真正的公義社會，公平的選舉。
何謂政治？在專制獨裁時代，政治是政府管理眾人之事，在自由民主時代，政治是眾人管理政府之事。民主政治是平凡人的政治，是你我每一個納稅人的政治，是一群納稅人付錢供養一群公務人員，來管理政府落實納稅人利益的政治。與其說：「有什麼樣的人民，就有什麼樣的政府。」不如說：「有什麼樣的制度，就有什麼樣的人民與政府。」我們不要與人爭辯，人性是善或是惡，我們應該透過訂定良善制度，來抑惡揚善，使能者善，善者能。提倡三權分立的孟德斯鳩說：「自由並非產生於高尚的公民道德，而是產生於正確的國家體制。」而制度的最高位階是憲法。因此，一部憲法的好壞，決定什麼樣的人民與政府。
1787年，美國通過一部以服務美國納稅人為主，有效管理美國聯邦政府的憲法後，成為世界國力最強的國家，保護2億多美國人，享受民主而富裕的幸福生活。相對於中華民國憲法，是一部獨裁專制的憲法，當初設計，以服務獨裁政權的統治階層為主，要遂行其奴役4億5千萬中國人的一部憲法，中國黨政府來不及在中國實施，就被中共政權驅逐敗逃來台灣，拿著這一部統治中國人的憲法來統治臺灣人，使國際社會誤認台灣人就是中國人，誤認台灣是中國的一部分，它無力保護台灣人，無法使台灣人安居樂業，更可能使台灣淪陷於中國手中，令台灣人受中國人的統治。
本土政黨執政時，瞻前顧後沒有把握建國制憲時機，選舉時又說主張制憲會嚇跑選票？敗選後，更說制憲遙遠路。我們不盡要問，那何時才能制憲？何時才要建國？難道要交給下一代？難到還要拖上百年？難到要癡等天上掉下來？有識之士，如有良知，豈不知幾十年來或四百年來，台灣人不能安家立命的最大根源，就是沒有建國，就是欠缺一部為台灣納稅人制定的憲法。
台灣納稅人要以命運共同體的觀念，共同建設台灣成為一個民有、民治、民享的國度。必須趕緊制定以公義、公平為基礎，現代企業化的管理方式，台灣納稅人主體利益為出發點，能夠確保台灣納稅人生存、自由與追求幸福的權力，來管理政府的一部民主憲法。台灣國憲法至少應具備下列四種功能特色：
消除賄選根源：國會議員選舉，以全國作為一個選區，依比例代表，雙倍提名暨抽籤制的原則選出。透過選舉制度的設計，使候選人不會想買票，選民就無法賣票，賄選自然杜絕。
改善國會亂象：透過特別管理規定，議員要專業問政，迴避私人利益，政黨推派候選人要謹慎；因為議員犯法不但要嚴懲，政黨亦要受連坐處分，遞減其次屆議員分配名額，國會問政品質自然提升，國會亂象自然改善。
提升行政效率：訂定經濟成長率來考核公務人員行政效率，與每年5％公務人員新陳代謝淘汰率。使受供養的公務人員明確知道，做的好，有獎金，加薪水；做不好，無獎金，減薪水；表現差就淘汰免職。迫使公務人員為了自身利益，會自動票投有能力想做事的政黨執政。以台灣人的勤奮，配合政府公務人員的績效，台灣經濟的再起飛自然指日可待。
落實主權在民：透過降低創制及複決權門檻的制定，迫使政黨不敢惡鬥，議員對法案的審查，必須符合民意。降低修憲門檻，使憲法能夠與時代同步，視各時代的主流民意，可隨時進行修憲。
透過宣佈建國，實踐台灣國憲法，台灣納稅人可以不必，每天憂心國事，心情隨著電視談話性節目起伏，全家老少，可以蹺腳撚鬍鬚，看王建民的棒球賽，或其他益智、育樂節目，或舉家歡喜外出，去遊山玩水，享受制憲果實，真正的當家做主人，過著幸福快樂的生活。
雖然台灣人要實現一部最進步、最合身的台灣憲法，但以目前國際社會，不承認中華民國體制下的台灣為主權國家的處境之下，我們必須以感動民心與震撼世界的方法，來展現台灣人民要制憲的決心意志，才能受到國際輿論的支持與認同。數百萬台灣人民，一齊走出家門，迎接光明，在台灣環島的1000公里公路上，用心在自己的土地上，一字一字寫出台灣國憲法。活動當天，同步完成「制憲公投」百萬人連署。用勇敢、智慧、和平與團結的行動，向國際社會明確的傳達，制憲的意志與決心，相信民主陣營的國家，一定會豎起大拇指讚嘆的說：「台灣人真了不起，台灣國將會是一個偉大的國家。」
數百萬台灣人，完成在自己的土地寫憲法及「制憲公投」百萬人連署後，透過此次成功的活動，台灣國民意識的國家認同必將高漲過半，就有信心順利通過住民自決建國，制憲公投程序。宣佈終止實施「中華民國憲法」，終結運作「中華民國體制」，將目前外來政權中國人的中華民國政府，自「中華民國體制」脫殼出來，進入「台灣國體制」，蛻變成為，以台灣人的台灣國憲法，構制本土政權的台灣國政府，以台灣國政府名義進行國際邦交，正式建立一個主權獨立的台灣國。（按台灣絕不是自中國獨立，也不是自中華人民共和國政府獨立，更不是自已沒有國家主權的中華民國政府獨立，而是依據舊金山和約的精神台灣人自決建國制憲公投後，建立台灣國。）
我們計劃在全國的319鄉鎮，以里為單位，徵求一萬名，有組織動員十名群眾能力的庄長，發展出一萬個以上的據點，做為建國制憲的宣傳站，每一鄉鎮，如有超過三分之一里的庄長，將產生一位相當於鄉鎮長的社長。每一縣，如有超過三分之一鄉鎮的社長，將產生一位相當於縣長的郡長，做為將來在自己的土地上寫憲法的種子部隊，關鍵時刻，可隨時改編成為台灣捍衛隊。
我們將徵求一萬名制憲推手，每人捐助一萬元，（按只要台灣2300萬人的2300分之一，有一萬人每人捐助一萬元，就可籌足一億活動經費。或十萬人每人捐助一千元，或二十萬人每人捐助500元，同樣可籌足一億經費。）一旦籌足經費，就有信心，順利完成，台灣人在自己的土地上，寫憲法的世界歷史。這是台灣人，花最低成本，獲得最高報酬的建國制憲投資。
母親不能等，子民要爭氣，身為台灣人，沒有悲觀的權利，必須樂觀奮鬥，突破環境枷鎖。起造台灣國，是2300萬台灣人最偉大的共同事業，人人都是股東，都有責任為起造台灣國作善事，為子孫幸福積功德，有錢出錢，有力出力，團結打拼一定會成功。
尤其推動建國的工作者，更沒有停下腳步的理由，隨時隨地都要懷抱革命的熱情，犧牲就義的情緒，把握有限的生命，創造無限的契機，推動建國制憲，不達目的，絕不停止。
想，不停的想，才能想得周全。
眾人想，才能集思廣義，構想偉大計劃。
做，不停的做，才能做完工作。
眾人做，才能眾志成城，完成偉大事業。
走，不停的走，才能走到目標。
眾人走，才能展現力量，成就偉大理想。
眾人想聚共識，眾人做展形勢，眾人走向台灣國。
不要讓母親哭泣，不要讓子孫怨嘆，所有台灣人團結站起來，相信台灣國，天公有保庇，一定有信心，信心激力量，力量推行動，行動達建國。祈求天公上帝，賜給台灣人勇氣，賜給台灣人力量，幫助台灣人建國。在咱這代，決志落實台灣國最後一步。就從我們出發，人民奮起建國，台灣新生制憲，建國制憲，是台灣人唯一活路。
台灣國工友
王獻極謹識
大家來做台灣國工友
工友是一般公司機關最底層的編制，工友是最早上班、最晚下班的工作人員。工友的工作就是在其他上班人員未到班前，先上班將四周工作環境預先清潔整理，如清潔廁所、掃地、擦桌椅、準備茶水等，以提供上班人員舒適便利的工作環境。上班時間，工友要在機關內部穿梭傳遞信件、公文書，有時還要兼做迎客送客的招呼。接受各單位主管或同仁等差遣，處理雜物私事等。等到機關下班了，工友還要重複一遍早上的工作，才能最後下班。雖然工友職位最低，卻要具有機伶、效率、合群、不多言、冷靜的個性，才能扮好稱職的工友角色。
台灣社會一般人都崇尊賤卑，看輕工友身分，做父母的從小對子女的教育，卻是要做大官做大事賺大錢。因此，台灣人每人都想盡辦法要當主管、當老板，難怪兩千三百萬人口當中，有一百二十三萬六千家中小企業，有一萬多個社團，有一百多個政黨。難怪有人稱台灣社會是一盤魚仔全是頭。以致社會資源分散，社會力不能集中發揮，四百年了，還是不能建國。
個人苦思沉潛半年，認為應該回到底層，擔任台灣國辦公室的工友。每天早起拿起清潔用具，將辦公室內有中國酸臭味的廁所清潔乾淨，拿起掃把將辦公室的中國泥土、中國廢紙掃進垃圾桶，將中國茶水、中國墨水倒掉，將中國桌椅換掉，將牆壁上的中國標語塗掉，換來整潔乾淨的台灣廁所、台灣地毯地板、不會暈墨的台灣紙張、甘甜的台灣茶水、符合人體工學的台灣桌椅、最新型ＭＩＴ筆記型電腦，牆壁貼上煥然一新鼓舞人心的台灣標語，及通達世界各地無遠弗屆的視訊電視牆，提供各部門上班人員及主管們最舒適的工作場所。
辦公室整理乾淨之後，看到辦公室外的台灣國環境，花萎、樹倒，山崩、橋斷，鳥飛、獸走，ＳＡＲＳ、口蹄疫、毒奶粉，中華台北、中國台灣，到處充斥外來殖民中國文化的招牌、路名、建築，與人文活動。生活其上的台灣人，仍受困於外來政權「中華民國憲法」殖民體制的滿地垃圾，而寸步難行。要清除如此龐大的台灣國垃圾，恐怕非一個工友所能勝任，希望邀請更多的有志同好，一起來擔任台灣國工友，早日清除台灣垃圾，建立一個乾淨的台灣國國度，提供兩千三百萬台灣人共同工作且幸福的生活環境。
新憲法 新國家 新希望
憲法召集人 陳德正
一、台灣人若要出頭天就必須要完成二件代誌：
頭一件：咱要用【勇敢的心】代替【悲情的心】；
只有丟掉【悲情的心】，咱們才不會凡事，只要遇著困難，開口閉口就說：這是【台灣人的悲哀】；當這一句：這是【台灣人的悲哀】說出口的時候，咱們奮鬥的意志就會完全消失。只有勇敢！咱們才能大步跨出，面對挑戰，克服困難，走出光明！
第二件：咱要用【台灣國憲法】代替【殖民國家憲法】
只有丟掉：【殖民國家憲法】；咱們才不會，只要遇著政治上的紛擾，就祈求政治上的救世主來解救我們：當咱們有這樣的念頭，咱們就無法脫離政治紛擾的魔掌；只有制定台灣國憲法！咱們台灣人才會出頭天！
二、民主政治是平凡的政治，是你是我，是咱們每一個納稅人的政治。政治是什麼？在專制獨裁的社會：「政治是政府管理眾人之事」；在民主自由的社會：「政治是眾人管理政府之事」。
三、常聽人家說，「有什麼樣的人民，就會有什麼樣的政府」；我認為正確的說法應該是：「有什麼樣的制度，才會有什麼樣的人民與政府」；我不會去與人爭辯：「人性本善或是惡」；我們應該要做的是：「透過制度來抑惡揚善，使能者善，善者能」。
四、制定憲法，對別的國家來說，只要白紙寫黑字就完成；對台灣來說，白紙寫黑字並不夠；咱們若不用很感動人與震撼人心的方法來展現台灣國憲法，世界190幾個國家，敢接受我們的一定沒多少。絕對不再說這是【台灣人的悲哀】，咱要勇敢面對，用智慧，冷靜思考：用什麼方法來展現台灣國憲法，才能讓民主陣營的國家歡喜接受。請大家來想這一幕未來的場景：在公元20??年?月??日，數以百萬計的台灣人走出家門，迎接光明。在台灣的環島公路上，用心在自己的土地上一字一字寫出台灣國憲法…。當台灣人民用如此勇敢、智慧、和平與團結的行動，向國際明確的傳達制憲的意志與決心時。相信民主陣營的國家，一定會心服口服，並豎起大拇指說：台灣人真是了不起，台灣國將會是一個偉大的國家。
本組織深信透過這樣全世界獨一無二，富有創意的制憲運動的完成，必將實現台灣建國制憲的理想。
五、只有行動才能完成我們的理想，台灣人在制憲的道路上，講太多、做太少，在座各位今天來到這裡，就證明大家對台灣的關懷，這是好的第一步，也是成功的第一步；時候一到，企望大家走出家門，鬥陣來寫台灣國憲法。
附註:
1.洛克：最高價值是個人而非國家，國家只是促進個人利益而設立的工具。
2.孟德斯鳩：自由並非產生於高尚的公民道德，而是產生於正確的國家體制。

Could anyone provide some information on the NEW TAIWAN CONSTITUTION which DPP President Chen Shui-bian said we would have by 2006?
2009/03/28 RK richard@eroica. com.tw
Allen,
I am with you!
Indeed, the author has pointed out the most centered weakness characterized by most part of Taiwanese.
What he has put regarding Taiwan Independence and nation-build- up is from an narrow angle based on regular ordinary democratic procedures that might be practicable and applicable in other places like East-Timor, 3 nations in Baltic sea but it's not be suitable for Taiwan. The reason is simple and transparent for those who understood the nature of KMT. He is right that KMT always a loser in front of CCP so Taiwanese became stupid since being cheated by KMT for 60 years, he forgot one point that Taiwanese is facing a new joint-force of reunion-twin CCP+KMT that is unbeatable!
We don't feel hopeless at all, on the contrary, we will win the war with only 5% dare-to-die out of those 25% Taiwanese who are really Iron-TaiDo!
As I always emphasize, NO BLOOD, NO TAIWAN REPUBLIC, having only 5% of Iron-TaiDo so we will have 23 millions X 5% = 1.2 million! See how mighty it would be! How much strength it would release! With blood of those 1.2 million dare-to-die, no one in the world is unbeatable!
I have the confidence as much as those who belong to the 5% DTD!

Subject: [BATA] 台灣獨立建國論是否可以信任？
Dear all:
The following is an outstanding article translated from Japanese. It is interesting to learn that there are quiet a few Japanese who believe that Taiwan's ultimate destiny is either subsidiary to Japan or the US, and Taiwan does not have the ability to be Independent. It appears to me that this author might be a little bit bald, but quiet honest.
However, the author is WRONG. Taiwan do have the ability to be independent, I guarantee!

台灣獨立建國論是否可以信任？
／むじな（日本人） 陳悅文譯
（編註：本文原題為《台灣獨立建國論不可信任！》，但是，基於台灣人奴性太重、缺乏激憤性格，在此台灣最脆弱的時刻，恐怕禁不起以肯定的驚嘆號重擊，因此，本報將之改為疑問句。）
台灣人氣外省人郭冠英侮辱台灣。不過，台灣人在生氣之前，應該要反省自己為什麼這麼容易被騙。郭冠英為什麼侮辱台灣人。如果台灣人不捫心自問，那麼，也難怪會被郭冠英侮辱。
台灣人健忘，自尊心又莫名其妙地高，死不認錯，無法客觀，也不反省。不知道是不是因為被殖民太久，以致於變成敗犬性格、不自助只想依賴別人，沒有自我，責任都是別人的，不恥自己的不智。所以，才沒一下子，不但把中國國民黨的獨裁忘光光，還讓中國國民黨大勝。
最近只要和獨立派講話，就覺得很煩。民進黨選輸以後，很多獨立派的精神狀態都有問題。講話牛頭不對馬嘴，自私，又只想靠別人幫忙。一講到敗選責任，一定是「都是陳水扁沒有好好使用權力，推行獨立政策」，要不然就是「國民黨太奸巧，所以被騙了」，反正「都是別人的錯」。
但是，為什麼「陳水扁沒有使用權力推進獨立政策」？還不是因為支持獨立建國的民眾在台灣是絕對少數。因此，這種怪陳水扁的說法，是不了解客觀情勢而且很自我的說法。
不論怎樣的調查，獨立建國派從來沒有超過一半。有的調查甚至有15-40％的差距，就安定的數定來看，大概25％左右。不管握有多少權力，要如何將25％的願望強加諸於其他75％人民的身上？不要說民主主義國家，連獨裁國家都很難。
反過來想也可以。現在支持統一的不到5％。90年代初期卻有30％時，也遭到獨立派長期的反對，因此，要如何推動只有25％的理論？
綜觀世界，民主獨立建國成功的國家，不論是波羅的海三小國、東帝汶都在公民投票中獲得八成以上的支持，因此，才有了獨立的可能。
就理論上來看，51％也可以。不過，就現實問題來看，還是有必要獲得75％以上的支持；就實例來看，大多有接近九成支持。
回過來看台灣，獨立建國只有25％的支持。那麼，要以民主推進獨立建國就絕對不可能。當然如果真的很想獨立，那麼，建國派每天舉行數十萬人的遊行，連續個半年，看看精誠所至其他75％人的人會不會被說服，改支持獨立。
問題是：那麼訐譙陳水扁及民進黨無能的獨立建國派民眾，在民進黨政權時代也沒有積極主動地要求民進黨策動遊行。遊行都是民進黨計劃，民眾只是被動地參加。講難聽點，就是官製的樣板遊行而已。簡單說，陳水扁及民進黨政權之所以沒有推進獨立政策的責任，在於蹺腳等獨立從天上掉下來的獨立派民眾。
聽獨立派說「都是中國國民黨太奸巧，所以才會被騙去」，真是只能苦笑。在許多犯罪當中，詐欺罪之所以是微罪，是因為「被騙的也有責任」。
何況在政治本來就是騙術。有投票權的公民必須要有看穿騙術的能力，如果說自己就是會被騙，那麼，等於是向世界宣告自己其實是不應該有選舉權的野蠻人。
從這裡也可以看出台灣人不想負責、卑怯而惰弱的心理，不管對方是什麼詐欺集團，其詐術有多奸巧，反正台灣人被騙，就是智商低。就世界來看，詐欺集團中國國民黨的騙術不但不高明，其實根本就很低級。而且還在中國輸給共產黨。
跟著國共內戰中輸給共產黨的國民黨逃來台灣的外省人中，本來在中國就是輸給共產黨的二、三流集團。說他們高級簡直笑死人。
國共內戰中，只要上得了抬面的知識人及文化人，除了胡適以外都支持共產黨。不要說共產黨員的趙樹理，連敵對馬克思主義的巴金，也選了共產黨而不是國民黨。唯一跟著國民黨的胡適來台灣沒多久，就受不了國民黨而逃到美國去了。
反正會跟國民黨的外省人，沒有可以稱得上高級的地方。但是，問題就在這裡，台灣人竟然那麼容易地被這些三流、低級的中國人支配了55年。這就是我覺得「日本語世代」沒用的原因。等到好不容易推翻了中國國民黨，什麼長得帥啦、633啦、二萬點啊，告訴你這種連日本人和中國人都不會上當的騙小孩的騙術，台灣人竟然讓國民黨大勝。不用郭冠英說，台灣人真是頭殼壞去。
不論如何，會被這麼低級的詐欺集團騙的民族，就是台灣人。這樣的民族能建國才怪。最少，日本人就不會被中國那種三流的詐欺所騙（當然日本也有媚中派。不過，媚中派是為了利益，也不是被騙。）中國國民黨這種政黨如果到日本參加選舉，不要說執政，連一席也選不上（奧姆便是這樣）。
老實說，台灣人是好人。意思就是腦筋不好。台灣人就算做壞事，有時其實沒什麼惡意。做壞事又不能罵，等於是說智商低到沒有責任能力。當然日本也有這種人。但比率很低。可是，台灣人當中，腦筋好又能邏輯性思考明白道理的人，其比率低到令人絕望（大概5％吧）。
台灣人當中能邏輯性思考明白道理的人，跟中國的「善人」及日本「搞不清楚的人」的比率差不多。就跟中國幾乎不可能要成為善人的社會一樣，台灣要成為講邏輯的社會大概也很難。而且很多獨立派根本不明白2008年的選舉結果對國際社會的意義。說什麼「選舉不代表任何意義」，根本是自欺欺人。因為不論2008年的立法委員選舉或總統選舉，民進黨都不是小輸，而是中國國民黨大勝。
對長期以來支持、替民進黨及台灣民主化加油的外國人來說，彷彿被台灣人背叛一般。最近，自由時報分別引述愛沙尼亞及波蘭兩國議員的話指出，對於積極支持台灣的人來說，「變成馬政府，傾中加速，我們的努力成空。已經不能信用，也無法針對台灣發表意見」。2008年選舉中台灣人的選擇，是對支持台灣的外國人的背信行為。獨立派雖然會反駁說，「他們是中國人，我們不一樣」，但外國人更不相信這種說法。
2004年時本來還過半數，現在只有41％。換句說話，至少有10％的「本來是台灣人，後來變成中國人」。這種一下子台灣人，一下子中國人的人能相信嗎？
換句話說，獨立派民眾到現在還沒能邏輯性地說明民進黨的敗北及中國國民黨的大勝，是打擊太大一獗不振嗎？話說回來，這種才一次打擊就軟掉，沒有抗壓性的性格，能建國才怪！而且比選舉更早的問題是：就算萬一民進黨獲得政權，又偶然成立台灣共和國，我們還是無法信任。「誰知道八年後台灣人會不會又忘記中國國民黨的惡行惡狀，又對台灣共和國不滿，再加上某個英俊的侯選人講個兩句，便又否定台灣共和國？」而且25％的建國派中，很多人天真地以為「只要宣佈獨立就好～」。
所謂的國家，「經營」比「建國」更重要，建國派不認真思考如何經營國家，哪有可能建國？ 但是，統一派和中國人可不要偷笑。因為「沒獨立便是統一」這個命題是錯的。目前台、中的狀況，正說明中國沒有侵略、併合、統治台灣的能力。
如果中國經濟和中國國力正如中國政府所發表的統計數字一樣，又加上馬政府這麼露骨地朝中、台統合路線，那麼，現在正是中國統一台灣空前絕後的大好時機，但是，實際上台、中併合卻沒有什麼前進。而且如果照中國的統計數字，2002年時，中國就可以買下整個台灣了，但是，也沒有。
中國人有史以來就會自我誇大，常常覺得自己很強。而日本人卻會自我卑下，覺得自己其實沒那麼強。譬如甲午戰爭時，當時全世界沒有人想到大清帝國會輸給小國日本。現在也是如此。
中國沒想像地強。日本才是亞洲唯一、真正的大國。因此，台灣問題實際上不是統一或獨立的問題，而是從美或從日的兩選一問題。換句話說，不是與中關係基點的統一或獨立，而是從屬的問題。而其對象不是脆弱的中國，應該是美國或日本。

國際毒草〞銀膠菊"，可能危害台灣生態，南投特有生物中心表示，銀膠菊正在悄悄蔓延全台，它具有毒性，吸入過多，可能會造成肝臟及遺傳病變。高挺的銀膠菊，在枝節部分開滿小白花，特別討人喜歡，但美麗的外表卻是對人體有害，它有鋸齒狀的葉子，會讓人誤認為是艾草。
南投特有生物中心博士黃正元表示，銀膠菊小時候看起來滿像是艾草，這樣一把就像滿天星一樣，所以有的人就誤解，這很像觀賞植物。
這是南投特有生物中心， 黃正元 博士，花了20年研究發現，這種來自南美洲墨西哥地區，常見的植物，自從在屏東現蹤跡之後，因為生長速度快得嚇人，現在悄悄往北移。有可能是因為港口運輸，貨輪從國外帶回這種有毒的花粉，因此讓銀膠菊，在台灣落地生根銀膠菊開小白花，常常讓人誤解是滿天星，它的細微纖毛具有毒性，吸入過多，可能會造成肝臟和遺傳病變。 ""

'Is This Last Gasp for the Israel Lobby and the Neocons?'
By Robert Dreyfuss, Tomdispatch.com. Posted March 16, 2009:
http://tinyurl.com/IsraelLobby-Neocons
"" After sinking intel chief Chas Freeman, pro-Israel hardliners are celebrating. But they may have overplayed their hand on this round. ""
: "" Is the Israel lobby in Washington an all-powerful force? Or is it, perhaps, running scared?
Judging by the outcome of the Charles W. ("Chas") Freeman affair this week, it might seem as if the Israeli lobby is fearsome indeed. Seen more broadly, however, the controversy over Freeman could be the Israel lobby's Waterloo.
Let's recap. On February 19th, Laura Rozen reported at ForeignPolicy.com that Freeman had been selected by Admiral Dennis Blair, the director of national intelligence, to serve in a key post as chairman of the National Intelligence Council (NIC). The NIC, the official in-house think tank of the intelligence community, takes input from 16 intelligence agencies and produces what are called "national intelligence estimates" on crucial topics of the day as guidance for Washington policymakers. For that job, Freeman boasted a stellar resumé: fluent in Mandarin Chinese, widely experienced in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War, and an ex-assistant secretary of defense during the Reagan administration.
A wry, outspoken iconoclast, Freeman had, however, crossed one of Washington's red lines by virtue of his strong criticism of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. Over the years, he had, in fact, honed a critique of Israel that was both eloquent and powerful. Hours after the Foreign Policy story was posted, Steve Rosen, a former official of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), launched what would soon become a veritable barrage of criticism of Freeman on his right-wing blog. "
... ...
" On March 10th, Freeman bowed out, but not with a whimper. In a letter to friends and colleagues, he launched a defiant, departing counterstrike that may, in fact, have helped to change the very nature of Washington politics. "The tactics of the Israel lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth," wrote Freeman. "The aim of this lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views."
Freeman put it more metaphorically to me: "It was a nice way of, as the Chinese say, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys." By destroying his appointment, Freeman claimed, the Israel lobby hoped to intimidate other critics of Israel and U.S. Middle East policy who might seek jobs in the Obama administration.
On Triumphs, Hysterias, and Mobs
It remains to be seen just how many "monkeys" are trembling. " ... ...
... ...
" Indeed, Freeman told me:
"The only thing I regret is that in my statement I embraced the term 'Israel lobby.' This isn't really a lobby by, for, or about Israel. It's really, well, I've decided I'm going to call it from now on the [Avigdor] Lieberman lobby. It's the very right-wing Likud in Israel and its fanatic supporters here. And Avigdor Lieberman is really the guy that they really agree with."
So here's the reality behind the Freeman debacle: Already worried over Team Obama, suffering the after-effects of the Gaza debacle, and about to be burdened with the Netanyahu-Lieberman problem, the Israel lobby is undoubtedly running scared. They succeeded in knocking off Freeman, but the true test of their strength is yet to come.
Digg!

The research shows that, to interpret a god's intentions and feelings, we rely mainly on the same recently evolved brain regions that divine the feelings and intentions of other people. "

" "It's not surprising that religious beliefs engage mainly the theory-of-mind areas, as they are about virtual beings who are treated as having essentially human mental traits, just as characters in a novel or play are," comments Robin Dunbar, an anthropologist at the University of Oxford.
"But it nicely reinforces my claim that it is the higher orders of intentionality that are crucial in the development of fully fledged religion as we know it," says Dunbar.

' 口述歷史「濁水溪畔二二八」出版╱樟湖之戰 凸顯228抗爭精神

二二八事件紀念基金會昨日舉行「濁水溪畔二二八：口述歷史訪談錄」新書發表會，由二二八事件紀念基金會董事長陳錦煌（中）、國史館前館長張炎憲（左）及中研院近代史研究所副研究員陳儀深（右）共同主持。 （記者王敏為攝）
二二八事件紀念基金會委託陳儀深教授撰寫的「濁水溪畔二二八：口述歷史訪談錄」昨舉行新書發表會，多位接受口述歷史訪談的二二八家屬也出席；陳儀深表示，這本書除了記載二二八的最後一戰「樟湖之戰」，也呈現出二二八「抗爭」面向，而非過去認為只有「受害」面向。
陳儀深撰寫 走訪雲投等地
包括二二八事件紀念基金會董事長陳錦煌、前國史館長張炎憲、二二八民軍領導人陳篡地醫師的兒子陳彥文、參與醫治二二八傷患的藥局生陳天成、二二八事件竹山區民兵廖如賓的兒子廖國揚等，昨均出席發表會。
主持這項計畫的陳儀深表示，他從去年七月至今年一月，訪談了雲林縣的斗六、古坑、北港、虎尾、林內及南投縣竹山，重點事件包括虎尾機場被攻佔、竹山青年陣亡、林內仕紳出面講和（繳械）事件，以及陳篡地率民軍退往古坑樟湖，在桶頭與整編二十一師相戰，及所衍生來自北港、朴子民軍在古坑梅山交界被中國兵伏擊的事件。
陳儀深指出，根據檔案，整編二十一師自認「樟湖之戰」是台灣中部轉為安定的轉捩點，而陳篡地率領的民軍是在四月六日才被一四五旅四三四團驅散，「這真是二二八的最後一戰」。
張炎憲表示，台灣人抗爭是二二八事件最重要的精神，現在馬英九仍不時被二二八家屬嗆聲，主因就是國民黨只認為家屬可憐，卻不承認錯誤，這樣家屬怎可能撫平傷痕？要談和解，一定要了解二二八的精神才可能做到。
喚地緣記憶 基隆徒步追思
另，為追思一九四七年三月八日，基隆要塞部隊配合國軍登陸肅清街頭，造成死傷慘重，二二八事件紀念基金會與台灣二二八關懷總會昨在基隆舉辦「二二八地緣記憶追思活動」，徒步繞行市區，喚起記憶，希望傳承歷史。

" 62年前，在花蓮一所教會牧會的父親曾主持二二八受難者鳳林張七郎醫師父子三人追思儀式、僑居華府多年的徐頌鵬，也在會中講述他所知道的二二八事件及張氏父子。
二二八事發時，徐頌鵬雖年幼，但稍長之後與張家遺族一直有往來，鳳林教會在二二八後幾年舉行的張氏父子紀念會，徐也親身參與。
曾與張七郎孫輩同學，張七郎大媳婦還是他的國小老師，徐頌鵬指出，張七郎父子以「背叛黨國」被誣陷入罪而慘死的真相，因為新一批史料的公諸於世，而漸漸浮出；據日前報章所載，遇難原因乃因私人恩怨。「民主和平公義，應該是紀念二二八事件所應努力的方向」，徐頌鵬企盼真相還原之餘，也希望事件原凶能悔改認罪。 "
... ...
" 本次紀念會的主題演講人是台南市長許添財，他從1924年荷蘭東印度公司入安平屠殺原住民談到二二八事件，認為兩起悲劇是殖民政權在改朝換代過程中，避免不了的衝突，「唯有脫離殖民地位，悲劇才能中止」。許添財表示，台灣真正民主化的到來，應有正當與正義價值存在，可惜流氓立委、黑道漂白擔任民代等情事仍時有所聞。 "

'台獨的西點軍校 建國故事: 《一門留美學生的建國故事》' ◎ 張炎憲, 前國史館館長: Feb22,2009, The Liberty Times: 自由廣場:
青春有夢是種幸福。逐夢需要理想、熱情與實踐的意志，如果是要建國，更需要浪漫、膽識、勇氣與決心。吳三連台灣史料基金會出版《一門留美學生的建國故事》一書（http://www.twcenter.org.tw/），記錄一個家族、十個人在青春歲月時投入建國行列，追求偉大夢想的動人故事，將於二十二日下午假集思會議中心台大館舉辦新書發表暨座談會。
一九五○、六○年代，台灣處於蔣家獨裁統治的白色恐怖年代，很多菁英和民眾被逮捕槍決，言論思想自由被剝奪，社會正義無法伸張，很多年輕人因而出國留學。張家姊妹也在此風潮下赴美留學，並認識了另一半。在當時白色恐怖年代，父母大多訓示兒女不可參與政治，專心讀書，早日衣錦還鄉，但張家姊妹在大姊夫楊宗昌、大姊張肅的影響下，陳希寬、張郁彬、張伯寬、張月英等十人先後加入台灣獨立聯盟。縱使國民黨引誘勸降，甚至以吊銷護照威脅，他們都不為所動，充分顯示台灣留學生親睹美國民主自由之後，反思台灣人失去自由、沒有明天的日子，而不顧安危投入獨立建國行列。
他們在就讀堪薩斯州立大學時，即結合知己，從事學生運動，批判國民黨的獨裁，與國民黨派學生展開校園筆戰，並刊登二二八大屠殺的紀念文章，引起台灣學生的共鳴與美國友人的支持。因此，堪薩斯州立大學有「台獨的西點軍校」之稱，培養出許多台獨鬥士。
他們抵達美國不久，就陸續加入台灣獨立聯盟。楊宗昌在一九六四年、陳希寬在一九六六年加入，當時聯盟還在初創階段。一九七一年九月十八日，台灣人社團在紐約舉行民眾大會，彭明敏蒞臨演講，造成風潮，從此台灣人紛紛成立社團，推動台灣人的獨立運動。同年十月十八日，聯合國大會開會前夕，聯盟人士用鎖鍊將手綁在鐵欄杆上，大聲喊出台灣獨立的口號，隔日報紙刊登此項消息，引起國際人士的注目，形成一股力量，喚醒台灣人的意識，使得國民黨不得不重視台灣人的權益。
回顧過去白色恐怖年代，台灣處於艱難的時刻，張家十位親人追求獨立建國的豪情壯志，就會給我們一股力量與啟示，只要我們意志堅定，攜手努力，終有化不可能為可能的一天，完成建國的偉業。 ""

http://tinyurl.com/FarmFoodHealth
""One can go vegetarian, buy organic, or avoid processed foods, but it is hard to truly avoid all of the dangers that lurk in our food.""
: " For example, a recent study by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy tells of mercury found in nearly one-third of products containing high fructose corn syrup, a substance ubiquitous in processed foods. The mercury comes from chlor-alkali plants that manufacture caustic soda.
Although newer, cleaner technology is available, some of these plants still use mercury, resulting in mercury contamination in the caustic soda. Then caustic soda is used to separate corn starch from the corn kernel in the high fructose corn syrup production process.
Only trace amounts of mercury end up in the high fructose corn syrup (the product with the most mercury from high fructose corn syrup still had 1,000 times less mercury than the average can of albacore tuna), but mercury is a neurotoxin, and consumers should not be exposed to it in their food, even at low levels.
Even excluding extreme problems like salmonella and mercury, America has proof, via declining public health, that our corn- and soy-based industrial diet is not healthy. Without family farms, consumers are less able to opt out of this food system.
When local farms lose, houses spring up where farmland once was, and the food produced locally is displaced with food from the enormous and consolidated industrial food system. Although most of us are not among the 2 percent of Americans who farm, if we wish to preserve our health and a way of eating focused on taste over convenience and marketing, then we need to save the few precious family farms we have left.

: "" 〔駐美特派員曹郁芬／華府五日報導〕 包括台灣前司法院副院長城仲模，以及近百名旅美台僑今天擠進華府的聯邦上訴法院旁聽席，要確認美國是否仍為台灣的主要軍事佔領者，台灣人民是否可以據此要求美國政府發給護照？城仲模表示，如果輸了這場官司，未來還要一路打到美國最高法院。
近百名台僑擠進旁聽席
林志昇等人於二○○六年十月委託律師坎普對美國政府提出告訴，指日本在二次大戰投降後只宣布放棄台灣與澎湖列島的主權，並沒有將主權歸還給中國，舊金山和約也未處理台灣與澎湖的主權問題，美國依法仍是台灣的主要軍事佔領者，要求美國法院根據舊金山和約與美國憲法，檢視台灣人民應有的權利，包括申請美國護照。
許多台僑在辯論結束後圍住坎普，討論台灣地位未定論的證明，還要坎普閱讀「被背叛的福爾摩沙」一書以了解台灣歷史。這個案子在華府地方法院審理時，法官克麗亞（Rosemary Collyer）判決美國政府勝訴，她在判決書中表示，法庭不能審理政治問題，如果不處理美國行政部門多年來刻意且小心不就台灣主權進一步表態問題，是不可能決定訴訟人在美國憲法之下的權利，這對處於平等地位的行政部門不尊重。
美政府律師：屬政治問題
林志昇委由坎普律師向華府聯邦上訴法院提告，今天代表美國政府的律師是派特森（Melissa Patterson），除重申本案是政治問題外，她也表示，美台協防條約、美中建交公報和台灣關係法等後續法律條文，已經推翻了舊金山和約中有關台灣主權的主張。不過法官對於美國在舊金山和約簽訂時，是否擁有台灣的法理主權也提出質疑。
城仲模在華府的全美記者俱樂部舉行記者會表示，台灣問題從國際法的秩序來看，一定要找美國。
不過這個案件也在旅美台僑團體中引起爭議，有些僑民認為，這違反他們長年以來爭取台灣自決與獨立的原則。

'Packed courtroom greets judges in Taiwan treaty lawsuit', by Michael Richardson, Boston Progressive Examiner, Feb5,09 1:59PM
http://tinyurl.com/TaiwanCaseFeb5-2009
: "" A standing room only crowd filled the courtroom in the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals where a three-judge panel heard arguments on interpretation of the 1952 San Francisco Peace Treaty that officially ended World War II with Japan.
The case, Roger C. S. Lin, et al v. United States seeks a declaration of rights under the peace treaty, which transferred the island of Formosa to United States military control. There is presently a three-way tug of war over the future of Taiwan, as the island is presently known.
Communist China wants "reunification" despite never controlling the prosperous island. Then there is the Republic of China, which the U.S. allowed to be a caretaker government-in-exile when the Communist revolution of 1949 swept mainland China, which wants to be independent. Finally, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and others are seeking recognition of U.S. territorial control under the 1952 treaty.
Attorney Charles Camp argued for the plaintiffs and was questioned by the three judges. Camp reports that the substantive issues of the case were well understood by the court.
"When the Government lawyer was asked whether any document had ever changed that provision of the treaty [regarding U.S. military occupation], the Government said no. When asked by one of the judges whether the Executive branch could unilaterally change the provision in the treaty making the U.S. the principal occupier of Taiwan, the Government lawyer hesitated and the judge then answered the question himself. He said the Executive branch cannot unilaterally change the language of a treaty."
At one point in the hearing, the Justice Department asserted the 1952 treaty was "irrelevant" leaving the judges stunned at the lack of a substantive response. One of the judges wondered if the U.S. was trying to "walk away" from its treaty obligations.
The main thrust of the government case was that it was a political decision and not a legal one. However, the Justice Dept. attorneys did not cite a single case that would deprive the Court of Appeals from interpreting rights under treaties.
A win by plaintiffs would put them in a similar situation with the residents of American Samoa where the island inhabitants are considered U.S. nationals but not citizens. Plaintiffs are seeking use of U.S. passports and other legal protections that would come with territorial status.
A judicial declaration of rights under the treaty would end the arms build-up and ease tensions between Taiwan and China. Last week the United States allowed Raytheon Corporation to sell $154 million worth of Patriot missiles to Taiwan. President Obama's new National Intelligence director Dennis Blair is expected to urge more missile sales if the unresolved status quo is maintained.
No date for a decision by the Court of Appeals has been announced.

'Court to hear arguments on U.S. ownership of Taiwan under WWII peace treaty with Japan', Michael Richardson, Boston Progressive Examiner: Feb4,09 3:04PM
http://tinyurl.com/US-Taiwan
: "" The District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals hears oral arguments this week over the future of Taiwan in a little-noticed but important lawsuit making its way through the U.S. courts. The case, Roger C.S. Lin, et al vs. United States, arises from the 1952 San Francisco Peace Treaty officially ending World War II. Japan, which had occupied the island of Formosa since the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, formally renounced all claims to Formosa and Pescadores Islands.
Japan's treaty with the United States was on April 28, 1952. Several months later on August 5, 1952, Japan entered a peace treaty with China, the Treaty of Taipei, but did not cede the island to China.
The United States militarily occupied Formosa at war's end but allowed Chinese troops under Chiang Kai-shek to accept the surrendering Japanese. Chiang's nationalist government, the Republic of China, was overthrown during the Communist revolution in 1949 and became a 'Cold War' government-in-exile on the island while the East and West were embroiled in ideological conflict.
The plan, under the treaty, was for the United States to transfer the island status to the United Nations for resolution. Instead, the U.S. had allowed the nationalist Chinese to set up shop and govern the island's populace. Many island residents did not welcome the Chinese rule.
On February 28, 1947, an uprising broke out in Taipei following an incident over a street vendor. The repression and fighting that followed was fierce and thousands died in what has become known as the 228 Massacre. For years, the deaths were hushed up and recognition of the scope of brutality did not emerge until the 1990's.
Communist China has long wanted the prosperous island and has been seeking a "reunification" for territory it never controlled. The unresolved legal status of Taiwan, as it is commonly known, has served the United States and its interests. Tension with China has resulted in the recent sale of $154 million worth of Patriot missiles from the United States to Taiwan.
The government of Taiwan has sought membership in the United Nations but has been repeatedly rebuffed by the United States. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit argue this is because the island is actually U.S. territory since it was never ceded to any country after U.S. military control.
The Justice Department, defending the United States, has sought to dismiss the case on grounds the issue is political not legal. The government has avoided the substantive question of ownership under terms of the 1952 treaty.
The last clear statement of United States policy on Taiwan was on October 25, 2004 when Secretary of State Colin Powell stated, "Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy."
The stakes are high. When the case was before the U.S. District Court the Justice Department warned the court, "For plaintiffs to prevail in this action this Court would have to declare the United States sovereign over Taiwan." ""

' Taiwan's Sovereignty and Statehood Still "Undecided" Jerome F. Keating Ph.D.:
Wed Feb4,09: http://tinyurl.com/TaiwanSovereignty
: "" On February 5th, the oral arguments of a provocative lawsuit will go before the US Court of Appeals at 9:30 am. In this presentation, Dr. Roger Lin is arguing that the sovereignty and role of Taiwan in the international community remains a piece of unfinished business left over from World War II (WWII). Lin is claiming that since the US conquered Japan and its territories, it bears responsibility for the disposition of those territories and in particular that of Taiwan. That disposition was not made, treated or designated in the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1952. Taiwan was given neither to the Republic of China (ROC), nor the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Lin's arguments have a certain resonance in the fact that in 2007, Dennis Wilder, the US National Security Council Senior Director for Asian Affairs has gone on record as saying that Taiwan's statehood is "undecided." This was an unusual statement for the country of Taiwan some sixty years after the end of WWII.
A Press Conference will be held that same afternoon of Feb. 5th at 1 pm in the Library Lounge of the National Press Club at 529 14th St. N. W., Washington DC. The press conference will treat the developments of the morning's hearing and potential subsequent plans of action.
How this will all come down has interesting ramifications. Do the 23 million people of Taiwan not have the right of self-determination granted in the Charter of the United Nations? After all, the population of Taiwan is larger than 75 per cent of the existing countries in the United Nations. Or should the Taiwanese be given the right to have US Passports? The results of this case should be followed by all. ""

'Future of Taiwan at stake in lawsuit over WWII peace treaty with Japan' Michael Richardson, Boston Progressive Examiner: Jan28,09 4:20PM
http://tinyurl.com/TaiwanLawsuitMR
""Michael Richardson is a freelance journalist and independent political consultant. Richardson writes about progressive issues, politics and election law. Richardson is also working on a book about the FBI and the Black Panthers.""
: "" A little known but very important lawsuit pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals over the peace treaty that ended the war with Japan may force the United States into a confrontation with China over the future of Taiwan located on the island of Formosa.
China's view that the Republic of China, more commonly known as Taiwan, is a renegade province and that Formosa should be reunited with the mainland flies in the face with historical fact. China never owned Formosa--the island belonged to Japan and ceded it to the United States in the San Francisco Peace Treaty.
The United States, moving from war with Japan into the 'Cold War' that followed, allowed the Chinese nationalist government fleeing the Communist takeover of China refuge on Formosa. Much to the current dismay of many on the island, the United States opposes nationhood for Taiwan and has kept it from recognition by the United Nations.
The unresolved status of Taiwan became a pivotal debate point in the famous Nixon-Kennedy presidential debates of 1960. Military exercises by the Chinese navy also periodically bring the topic into the news. However, what consistently is overlooked is the actual ownership of the island.
The plaintiffs in Roger C.S. Lin, et al v. United States, pending in the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals, are seeking recognition of the fact that the United States owns Formosa and has never ceded ownership of the island to anyone, including the government of Taiwan. The lawsuit argues that the status of island residents are as non-citizen U.S. nationals entitled to the protection and privileges that accrue to U.S. territorial possessions.
The Bush administration made every effort to get the case dismissed arguing it was a political issue and not a legal matter. In mid-December the plaintiffs responded to the latest attempt to get the case dismissed.
The government never addresses the central question at issue in this appeal. It fails to recognize that Appellants are seeking multiple declarations, not just one pertaining to noncitizen national status. It fails to understand that the San Francisco Peace Treaty was not modified by any Executive Order of the President or the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, and remains in full force and effect today.
In an earlier ruling that the case involved a political matter, the U.S. District Court acknowledged the plaintiffs have essentially been persons without a state for almost 60 years. The matter is scheduled for oral argument in early February. New Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may want to sit in the courtroom to learn about the case that she no doubt will have to deal with in the future.

中國不可能放棄間諜活動 國共平台的風險更大 / 2009-01-15""
: "" 針對有關國共間諜案的整個來龍去脈，民主進步黨文宣部主任鄭文燦今(15)日表示，該事件爆發後雖相關事實證據仍未明朗，但我們可以肯定的是兩岸之間確實存在著無形的戰爭，且中國未曾、也不可能放棄間諜活動。
鄭文燦主任指出，此案爆發令我們非常憂心的是馬政府的親中政策，讓所有的政府部門和各級公務員，心防上受到很大的衝擊；假如說國共平台可以光明正大地進行各項協商，甚至於我們很多外交上的行動，在沒有發動以前都要跟中國協商，顯然最大洩密的風險就是國共平台，對國家安全造成非常大的危害。
鄭文燦主任強調，該事件顯示出馬政府需要調整兩岸政策，必須對親中的政策進行檢討，假如在兩岸和解之後，中共仍然進行各項間諜活動，顯然就非如馬政府所言，兩岸之間有所謂的互信存在；事實上，中國對台灣包括政治、軍事、外交與經濟各方面，或是併吞台灣的準備，並沒有任何改變。
至於外界若要把該事件貼上任何政治標籤或影射綠營，鄭文燦主任對此表示，這些都是很廉價的政治操作，我們認為一個執政的政府不應該這麼做。

民主進步黨國際事務部對於本黨駐美代表辦公室帳戶之說明 / 2009-01-15
針對國民黨邱毅委員稱本黨於海外有密帳之不實指控，本部說明如下：
1995年，本黨在野期間，為加強對美工作，故設立駐美代表處。為支應常駐人員薪資及辦公室租金等事務性費用，本黨於美國第一聯合銀行(FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK)開立帳戶，每年編列台幣420萬之經費匯入。2000年本黨執政後，考量執政黨不須另設駐美單位，故結束駐美代表處之運作，惟並未結清該帳戶。
2007年10月，因該銀行被美商美聯銀行合併，故通知本黨盡速領回該戶頭之款項，否則依規定，「靜止戶」之餘款未結清領回，視為放棄。本黨於是委請當時剛好有訪美行程之劉世芳中常委代為處理，共計匯回本黨台幣149萬餘元。
邱毅委員所謂本黨之海外密帳，即為本黨成立駐美代表處而設立的帳戶，戶名為「台灣民主進步黨駐美代表處」（TAIWAN DEMOCRATICPROGRESSIVE PARTY MISSION IN THE UNITED STATES）。陳前總統時任本黨主席，依法為該帳戶之代表人，故以其名義發函，請求該行返還該筆款項。
此一紙本原件應在美方銀行保管，取得此一文件之司法單位應徹查為何流出，此舉違反偵查不公開原則，本黨將追究責任歸屬。
邱毅以片段資料任意指控本黨正常財務管理為海外密帳，顯然是惡意扭曲誤導社會大眾之認知，本黨深感遺憾並譴責此一不負責任之行為。 ""

"U.S.–China relations after resolution of Taiwan’s status" Roger Cliff, David A. Shlapak, 'current as of September 2006' http://tinyurl.com/Rand-TaiwanStatus
""sponsored by the United States Air Force under Contracts F49642-01-C-0003 and FA7014-06-C-0001. Further information may be obtained from the Strategic Planning
Division, Directorate of Plans, Hq USAF.""
... ...
: "" Peaceful Unification ""
... ...
... "" There is an extensive, though
not unanimous, body of analysis that suggests that mature democracies
rarely, if ever, go to war with each other.5 There is, however, likewise
evidence that states undergoing the transition to democracy can
be more war-prone than others.6 Thus, the relationship between the
United States (or Taiwan) and a democratizing China could be highly
unstable, and any democratic transition in a country the size of China is
likely to be the work of many years, if not generations. If this transition
period were successfully negotiated, however, and a democracy were to
emerge on the mainland that was mature and stable enough for Taiwan
to unify with the mainland voluntarily, relations between Washington
and Beijing would likely be transformed as well. Although some
tensions and suspicions between the two sides would continue, just as
between any two countries, the chances of actual conflict between the
United States and a democratic China would be much lower than they
are today, particularly with the Taiwan issue also resolved.
----------
5 Brown et al. (1997); Farber and Gowa (1995), pp. 123-146; Spiro (1994), pp. 50–86.
6 Mansfield and Snyder (2005).
Peaceful unification could also be effected through some looser
form of political relationship, such as a confederacy or commonwealth,
in which both Taiwan and the mainland had equal standing and which
could be voluntarily dissolved at the initiative of either party. Achieving
this type of largely symbolic “unification” would not necessarily
require mainland China to become a democracy, and the effect on
U.S.-China relations would be similar to that described in the section
below called “Compromise Resolutions.” ""
... ...
"" Peaceful Independence
It is similarly unlikely that Taiwan could peacefully achieve independence—
that Beijing would formally recognize and accept it as an independent
state—without a fundamental transformation of the Chinese
polity. "" ... ...
... ...
"" Compromise Resolution
Absent a political transformation in mainland China, the best chance
for a peaceful resolution of Taiwan’s status probably lies in an arrangement
somewhere between formal independence and formal unification,
a state that might be called “peaceful in-betweenness.” Politicians
and analysts in Taiwan and the United States have proposed a number
of such formulas. One possibility would be an agreement to leave Taiwan’s
status unresolved for some period, with Beijing promising not
to use force as long as Taiwan refrained from attempting to formalize
its independence. Although this outcome would not be a true or final
resolution of Taiwan’s status, the period in question could be very long
or even unlimited, with the two sides agreeing to leave Taiwan’s status
unresolved until they both come to an agreement on the issue.
The current Chinese regime, including the new “fourth generation”
leaders, has so far shown no interest in such schemes, but it is
not inconceivable that a future party leadership would be both willing
and politically capable of accepting an arrangement with Taiwan
if the costs to regime stability of continued cross-strait tensions began
to outweigh the value of this specific play of the nationalism card. The
successive leaderships of the People’s Republic of China have frequently
surprised outside observers with their ability to make fundamental
changes to core policies. Thus, this is one way in which Taiwan’s
status could actually be resolved peacefully that might not necessarily
imply a fundamental change in the nature of the Chinese regime. As
in the case of “Peaceful Independence,” however, a Chinese regime
that would be willing to accept such an arrangement would almost by
definition be one that was more pragmatic in its approach to foreign
affairs.9 Although the possibility for competition and conflict between
the United States and such a regime would still exist, the new attitude
of the Chinese government, along with the elimination of the Taiwan
flashpoint, would significantly reduce the risk of war between the two
countries.
----------
9 The authors are grateful to Richard Bush of the Brookings Institution for this
observation. ""
... ...
"" For more than 25 years, U.S. policy has, above all else, sought
to ensure that any resolution of Taiwan’s status occurs peacefully. The
analysis here suggests that this has indeed been the correct policy, as
the consequences of a peaceful resolution of Taiwan’s status are almost
uniformly positive for the United States. The analysis here also shows,
however, that the consequences of violent unification are almost certainly
negative. Thus, as China’s power and confidence in its military
capabilities grow, it is important for the United States to maintain the
capability to deter and, if necessary, defeat an attempt by Beijing to
achieve unification through force. """

'台灣國家定位論壇：去中華民國 台灣才是獨立國家' Jan5,09, Liberty Times:
http://tinyurl.com/FormosaNationTalks
: "" 〔記者林毅璋／台北報導〕台灣教授協會昨舉辦「台灣國家定位論壇」，台大法律系名譽教授李鴻禧認為，應努力制定適合台灣實施的新憲法，廢除內容和現狀差異太大的中華民國憲法，並去除中華民國國名，正名為台灣國，讓台灣是主權獨立國家的地位更確定。
淡江大學國際學院日本研究所教授許慶雄表示，台灣不能獨立建國的關鍵是多數人未認清「中華民國僅是政府而不是國家」。許強調，台灣要成為國家，必須向國際社會「宣布獨立」，以新國家身分向聯合國秘書處提出加入申請書。前駐日代表許世楷則說，前總統陳水扁任內以台灣名義申請加入聯合國，這是通往法理上主權獨立國家之路，可避免中國阻撓。
清華大學科技法律研究所副教授黃居正也認為，若未能與中華民國切斷，台灣就不是一個獨立的國家。黃說，無論是藍綠執政時，都未能向國際宣示台灣是獨立的國家，因此國際仍視我們為中華民國，但卻與中國之間曖昧不明。且我國憲法從未排除對岸是中華民國的領土，國際上自然對兩岸混淆不清，台灣能成為獨立國家的空間也愈來愈小。
台灣新世紀文教基金會董事長陳隆志主張，台灣是主權獨立國家，這與邦交國有多少無關，台灣與中國是互不隸屬的兩個國家，這是目前的政治現狀。
台教會副會長劉重義則強調，如果執政者不能與中華民國有所切割，即使已經有二位台灣人做了總統也是沒用。 ""

'王清峰說謊'
"" 針對「馬統」發動司法追殺民進黨官員，尤其毫不避人耳目的操弄司法以達到羈押前總統陳水扁的目的，廿一位國際知名的學者專家已經連續發表三封公開信加以譴責，措辭一封比一封嚴厲。從第一封的「深切關注」到第二封的「擔憂」到第三封信的「駁斥」，可說砲火愈來愈火熱、愈來愈不顧情面。
第一封給馬英九的信，《新聞周刊》（Newsweek）譽為「前所未有」，立刻加以引用。接著號稱「馬統」老師的孔傑榮在專欄中摘用其論點，但是謹慎的保留某些看法；司法迫害手段益發加劇下，孔傑榮只能站在廿一位學者的一邊了。
廿一位學者的第二封信指名給法務部長王清峰，去年十一月廿五日見於英文報刊《台北時報》，特別點明「台灣司法的腐蝕」。王清峰立刻做出回應，一一說明，也一一辯解、洗刷「政治力介入」的質疑。
一月廿四日的第三封信是條列式的用「具體要點」拆穿王清峰的答辯；老實說，就是指控王清峰說謊。
第一個要點是正面的告訴王清峰，她援引德國、日本、美國來證成「審前羈押制」是「合乎正當法律程序」，全然不能接受；尤其台灣司法「全面使用」與孔傑榮所說「應該很少使用」背反，更指出「僅用於現任和前任民進黨官員」破壞了「司法系統的公正性」。第三封信開宗明義的正告王清峰，所謂「貪瀆犯罪……並無選擇性辦案」，不能取信於人；王清峰說謊。
第二點關於「押人取供」的答辯，公開信認為「完全不正確」，打了回票；第三點針對「收押人與律師討論被錄音錄影」，公開信指出王全然「忽略不提」，指控王沒說實話。
第四點用「事實」反駁王清峰所說：偵查過程「調查資料只能透過檢察官辦公室披露」，根本不實；王清峰騙人。同時也抨擊法務部以「洩密」入扁律師鄭文龍於罪，是「政治偏見的直接確認」。
第五點指出「特偵組」用「手銬」和「羈押」辦扁案是「偏袒方式」，從而拆穿王清峰否認「司法受到政治操縱」，明確的指出台灣司法很難有「公正審判」。
第六點更有趣。王清峰引用美國國務院回應台灣司法的聲明當自我「背書」；公開信特別指出「在國際外交語言，『我們預期所有事情』此一術語的意思是『我們很擔心，並會仔細關注』」，王清峰拿美國話騙外國人，卻遭吐槽，說謊說到爪哇國去！
有怎樣的主子就有怎樣的奴才，反之亦然！從馬看王或從王看馬，騙騙騙，一也。（作者金恒煒為《當代》雜誌總編輯） ""

過去有人將「扁長情結」比喻為「瑜亮情結」，三國時代的周瑜忌諸葛亮之才，時時想除去諸葛亮，以絕後患，但奈何「一著棋局難敵對，幾番算計總成空」，最後周瑜懷著「既生瑜，何生亮」的感嘆死於卅六歲的壯年。
瑜亮本為敵對陣營，諸葛亮在瑜亮之爭中佔了上風，讓蜀國三分天下的地位更加穩固。扁長卻是過去台灣民主化過程中攜手合作的同志，如今同志倒戈，互揭瘡疤，你來我往，刀刀見血，毫不留情，令人憂心扁長未分出勝負之前，民進黨就已在「既生扁，何生長」的無奈下分崩離析了。
為了民進黨的延續，為了台灣民主的順利推動，扁長雙方都歇手吧！畢竟，沒有了民進黨，沒有了民主台灣，不管扁長雙方互鬥的算計為何，都將成空。

[Tsai 09.1.3=6 #1 09#4] I would like to suggest the following [modifications]:
We, the [P]people of Formosa, as residents of our island[s] and abroad, [based firmly on our fundamental peace principle of dignity in liberty,] reject the label of Chinese nationality; invoke our human rights of self-determination; and do hereby demand that the [universally rejected and long-]exiled government of the Republic of China on Taiwan[,] .. forever be banished from our [own land] Formosa.
Herewith, we hereby jointly petition for a Declaratory Judgment of the civil rights of Formosans and Writ of Mandamus by the [International Court of Justice, or the] US Supreme Court to convene the [International or the] United States Court of Formosa[,] as the war crimes tribunal for [the]international crimes committed [against humanitiy] by the Chinese [Chiang] Nationalists on our island[s] of Formosa[,] including [systematic] genocide [of the leaders and potential leaders], pillaging, and conspiracy for denial of the civil rights [and enslaving terror colonial rule] of the People of Formosa.
We also hereby petition for such rights in order to seek redress of our grievances; and for restoration of our inalienable civil rights under the [Universal Principle of Human Rights, or] territorial jurisdiction of the Administrative Authority of the United States Military Government (USMG) over Formosa Cession, to secure our civil rights and legal protections, in accordance with the [International Laws of Justice and of War, or the] US Constitution, San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT), Taiwan Relations Act[.] ((and Laws of War.))
The United States, being the major conqueror of the Japan Empire during World War II; and the USMG having effective territorial jurisdiction over Japan and its Pacific islands of Formosa and the Pescadores; acting as the primary protector of these Pacific islands[,] against all external aggressors[,] since the 1945 unconditional surrender by Imperial Japan; petition that the United States, as the Occupying Power of former Japanese island territory, should permanently remove the current regime for their crimes of systematic murder, oppression, and unjust enrichment by the exiled Chinese governing authorities on Taiwan, constituting more than six decades of foreign corruption over Formosa and the Pescadores.
Whereas, the ROC administrative authorities should be forever banished to the People's Republic of China in Beijing((...along with the return of the ROC-controlled islands of Kinmen/Matsu)); We do hereby further petition the USMG to [recognize] ((establish))a legal successor government by the Formosan Civil Government; the only true and legitimate successor composed of the Formosan people, by the Formosan people and for the Formosan people.
We hereby further petition [to all the Formosans] that a new constitution for the Formosan Civil Government be drafted for public comment and to be voted into the supreme law of the land; an act of organic law long overdue to the Formosan people, in accordance with the principle of self-determination under Article 73 of the United Nations Charter.
Citizens of Formosa shall deserve the equal protections of their new constitution; shall respect the rule of law; shall have the civil rights to their long desired pursuit of [dignity in] life, liberty, and prosperity, with justice for all.
Our fellow Formosans, being islanders like other islanders of the world, [ancient and modern,] are peace seeking freedom lovers. The Formosan people deserve a free, secure, bright, fearless and democratic future. Formosan citizens are eager to help by bringing and maintaining peace, stability and prosperity to the Western Pacific region.
Together, we solemnly hold the HOPE [and rightly claim] for the Formosa [Federation] Republic!

We, the people of Formosa, as residents of our island and abroad, reject the label of Chinese nationality; invoke our human rights of self-determination; and do hereby demand that the exiled government of the Republic of China on Taiwan be forever be banished from our Formosa.
吾等,福爾摩沙之民;子民遍佈全世界,同為地球村公民;拒絕被強冠以"中國人"國籍;秉持"住民自決"為最崇高之人權;堅決要求"中華民國在台灣流亡政府"自福爾摩沙(台灣)撤離.
(paragraph 1: statement of goal/purpose)
Herewith, we hereby jointly petition for a Declaratory Judgment of the civil rights of Formosans and Writ of Mandamus by the US Supreme Court to convene the United States Court of Formosa as the war crimes tribunal for international crimes committed by the Chinese Nationalists on our island of Formosa including genocide, pillaging, and conspiracy for denial of the civil rights of the People of Formosa.
本此,吾等請願美國最高法庭裁決並頒授執行令,在福爾摩沙(台灣)之台北市或其他合適城市成立美利堅聯邦福爾摩沙(台灣)法庭;譴責"中華民國在台灣流亡政府"暨中國國民黨之集團種族滅絕大屠殺之戰犯罪行,陰謀反叛,剝奪及漠視福爾摩沙(台灣)子民人權之罪.
(Paragraph2: statement of pain and suffering and reason for action)
We also hereby petition for such rights in order to seek redress of our grievances; and for restoration of our inalienable civil rights under the territorial jurisdiction of the Administrative Authority of the United States Military Government (USMG) over Formosa Cession, to secure our civil rights and legal protections, in accordance with the US Constitution, San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT), Taiwan Relations Act and Laws of War.
吾等亦就此同時為福爾摩沙(台灣)子民在依國際戰爭法,美利堅聯邦憲法,舊金山和平條約,以及台灣關係法,應被美利堅聯邦軍事政府保護下被賦予之人權請願;准予請求人命財產自由等等損害之賠償.
(paragraph3: stating legal sources for the petition)
The United States, being the major conqueror of the Japan Empire during World War II; and the USMG having effective territorial jurisdiction over Japan and its Pacific islands of Formosa and the Pescadores; acting as the primary protector of these Pacific islands against all external aggressors since the 1945 unconditional surrender by Imperial Japan; petition that the United States, as the Occupying Power of former Japanese island territory, should permanently remove the current regime for their crimes of systematic murder, oppression, and unjust enrichment by the exiled Chinese governing authorities on Taiwan, constituting more than six decades of foreign corruption over Formosa and the Pescadores.
美利堅聯邦,乃第二次世界大戰對日本帝國之主要戰勝國; 美利堅聯邦軍事政府至今仍為福爾摩沙暨澎湖群島等之法理管轄者,自有權力與義務將今之馬政府---此乃中國國民黨政權,亦乃"中華民國在台灣流亡政府"---自福爾摩沙暨澎湖群島撤離.
(paragraph4: stating power and authority sources of the US and the USMG)
Whereas, the ROC administrative authorities should be forever banished to the People's Republic of China in Beijing along with the return of the ROC-controlled islands of Kinmen/Matsu; We do hereby further petition the USMG to establish a legal successor government by the Formosan Civil Government; the only true and legitimate successor composed of the Formosan people, by the Formosan people and for the Formosan people.
就國際慣例而言, "中華民國流亡政府"理應挾其金門與馬祖兩島,撤回中國,與北京成立之中華人民共和國合併,結束內戰,以達成其統一之最臻目標.
(paragraph5: stating the de jure process for unification of the ROC and the PRC)
We hereby further petition that a new constitution for the Formosan Civil Government be drafted for public comment and to be voted into the supreme law of the land; an act of organic law long overdue to the Formosan people, in accordance with the principle of self-determination under Article 73 of the United Nations Charter.
吾等更進一步請願,為福爾摩沙平民政府頒憲, 福爾摩沙子民得以經由討論,求取共識,並公投入憲.此乃根據聯合國大憲章第七十三章,人民自決自治之崇高精神.
(paragraph6: re: UN Charters, chapter 73, self determination and self governing)
Citizens of Formosa shall deserve the equal protections of their new constitution; shall respect the rule of law; shall have the civil rights to their long desired pursuit of life, liberty, and prosperity, with justice for all.
凡福爾摩沙公民,自應被其憲法賦予平等保護之權; 自應尊守憲法等法律規章; 自應享有全體子民長遠以來追求渴望保障生命,自由,財產,以及公義之權利.
(paragraph7: statement of rights and goal, purpose)
Our fellow Formosans, being islanders like other islanders of the world, are peace seeking freedom lovers. The Formosan people deserve a free, secure, bright, fearless and democratic future. Formosan citizens are eager to help by bringing and maintaining peace, stability and prosperity to the Western Pacific region.
吾等全體福爾摩沙子民,無異於全世界其他愛好和平與自由之島嶼之民. 福爾摩沙島民自應同樣有追求自由,光明,免於恐懼,享有民主前景之權利.
(paragraph8: stating the characteristics of islander people and rights to their life style)
Together, we solemnly hold the HOPE for the Formosa Republic!
於此,吾等團結一至,莊嚴謹抱福爾摩沙共和國之願望!

Subject: Chinese Problem! #1000 < Re: 台灣問題!
-------------------------------
[Tsai 09.1.2=5 #1 09#2] Dear CK: Of course we all know this is a "Chinese Problem"! They should have been elevated to a bright civilization respecting human rights, with a long and continous history and culture, even if without direct tradition of ancient Greek democracy and freedom (until perhaps the Christian conquest of the West, sinking into dark ages and all kinds of horors, now they have to cope with the Islam also from the Mideastern deserets.) It is difficult to understand why Falunggung is so threatening, they are Chinese, with or without CIA and so on. Dalai Lama is a great spiritual leader, with rational and reasonable thinkings. Why cannot he be a precious friend of China? Isn't China big, wise, powerful, and dynamic enough? There are indeed many questions about Chinese Problem! Could we Formosans help them in any way? They have forgiven their past deadly, murderous, and treachorous enemy, the Chiang gang, which should be welcomed back to China.
As a part of East Asian Sinic Civilization, related directly with China, Japan, and the West, we the Formosans could be a powerful media for the future of China and all the oversea Chinese.
I hope, Taiwan Republic, your lawsuit team, my idea of Formosa Federation, or all other Formosans ready to raise our national flag and anthem, could include my above ideas included in all their publie proclamation. They would be a new world Declaration of Freedom for all humans of the 21st Century. Cf. my blog: http://bbcwebb.blogspot.com

Subject: 台灣問題!
“台灣問題Taiwan question”
中國與美國外交史上出現提及「台灣問題Taiwan question」的文件，一九七二年二月二十八日美中上海公報提及：”The United States reaffirms its interest in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves.”另外，在雷根總統當政時，一九八二年七月間提出”六大保證Six Assurances to Taiwan”其中第五項：”The United States would not alter its position about the sovereignty of Taiwan which was that the question was one to be decided peacefully by the Chinese themselves.” 茲分析其有關question之定義如下：
所謂question是指「爭論中的議題，被開放討論或進行調查」，英語解釋為”A subject or aspect that is in dispute, open for discussion or to be inquired into”美國政府不使用”Taiwan issue”或者”Taiwan problem”而引用”Taiwan question”是別有用心與奧妙之處。美國政府的立場是一再提醒兩邊的中國政權（與臺灣人無渋），在互稱擁有台灣領土主權的爭論中，務必以和平理性的方式去「調查與研究」，台灣領土主權之「法理主權de jure sovereignty」的歸屬，既然有”question”存在，就必然有”answer”答案。 "

'台灣平民政府081231聲明'
'Taiwan Civil Government Announcement': Dec. 31, 2008
: "" 流亡中國（中華民國）政府代表人馬英九先生，2008年12月15日借用其軍事佔領地台灣，宣佈正式與中國人民共和國啟動「三通直航」，並表示：「兩岸直行所代表的意義，一方面代表兩岸（兩個中國，不含台灣在內）的和解，不再走過去對立衝突的路線，不論是戒急用忍或者是有效管理，都走進了歷史，我們（兩個中國，不含台灣在內）現在面對的是一個歷史的新局（讓台灣人不再被中國人困擾）˙˙˙」
On Dec. 15, 2008, the representative of the Republic of China (ROC) government in exile, Mr. Ma Ying-jeou, as the subordinate military occupier of Taiwan, announced the opening of the three links with the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC), and remarked that direct flights between both sides of the Taiwan Strait represent an important step in the reconciliation between both countries, and the elimination of mutual enmity. In the future, with the recognition that the misunderstandings of the past have been swept away, both sides look forward to increased levels of participation in all activities, and the dawn of a new era for China .
台灣平民政府對於馬先生這段談話必須表示讚揚，下一階段，希望流亡中華民國與中華人民共和國儘速簽署「兩邊和平協定」，結束中國內戰，流亡中國政府能夠安然返回中國本土。
The Taiwan Civil Government fully approves of Mr. Ma’s comments, and urges the ROC and the PRC to sign a formal peace accord, which can serve to end the period of the Chinese Civil War. After this is done, it is hoped that the ROC can speedily return to its remaining sovereign territories of Kinmen and Mazu.
台灣領土上的台灣人素來未曾與中國人有怨仇，無必要追求和解，也無須要無辜面對襲擊「流亡中國（中華民國）政府」的千餘顆飛彈，雙方啟動「三通直航」後，在臺灣流亡的中國人，已經無繼續留在台灣領土的任何理由，台灣人籲請流亡中國（中華民國）政府早日返回中國本土，還給台灣人安和樂利的一片天。
The people of Taiwan have never had any arguments or hostilities with China , and therefore need make no reconciliations. While the PRC has over 1000 missiles aimed at Taiwan , those are due to the presence of the ROC government in exile on Taiwanese soil, and do not directly involve the native Taiwanese people. After the opening of the three links, there is no longer any need for the ROC government in exile to remain in Taiwan, and the native Taiwanese people look forward to the ROC government in exile’s early departure, to return to its China motherland, and leave the Taiwanese people to build up their island’s economy and democracy under their own initiatives.

: "" New research into language evolution suggests most Pacific populations originated in Taiwan around 5,200 years ago.
Scientists at The University of Auckland have used sospisticated computer analyses on vocabulary from 400 Austronesian languages to uncover how the Pacific was settled.
"The Austronesian language family is one of the largest in the world, with 1200 languages spread across the Pacific," says Professor Russell Gray of the Department of Psychology. "The settlement of the Pacific is one of the most remarkable prehistoric human population expansions. By studying the basic vocabulary from these languages, such as words for animals, simple verbs, colours and numbers, we can trace how these languages evolved. The relationships between these languages give us a detailed history of Pacific settlement."
"Our results use cutting-edge computational methods derived from evolutionary biology on a large database of language data," says Dr Alexei Drummond of the Department of Computer Science. "By combining biological methods and linguistic data we are able to investigate big-picture questions about human origins".
The results, published in the latest issue of the prestigious journal Science, show how the settlement of the Pacific proceeded in a series of expansion pulses and settlement pauses. The Austronesians arose in Taiwan around 5,200 years ago. Before entering the Philippines, they paused for around a thousand years, and then spread rapidly across the 7,000km from the Philippines to Polynesia in less than one thousand years. After settling Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, the Austronesians paused again for another thousand years, before finally spreading further into Polynesia eventually reaching as far as New Zealand, Hawaii and Easter Island.
"We can link these expansion pulses to the development of new technology, such as better canoes and social techniques to deal with the great distances between islands in Polynesia," says Research Fellow Simon Greenhill. "Using these new technologies the Austronesians and Polynesians were able to rapidly spread through the Pacific in one of the greatest human migrations ever. This suggests that technological advances have played a major role in the spread of people throughout the world."

'慰安婦有兩種' ◎ 甄生 自由時報 2008-12-28
: " 筆者認為...必須所有慰安婦都要一視同仁，因為台灣慰安婦有兩種，一種是日軍台籍慰安婦，一種是國軍台籍慰安婦，兩種都是弱勢族群，...。
自古以來，強勢民族蹂躪異族的婦女是一種「理所當然」，蹂躪自己的同胞婦女才是不可原諒。...從民國四十年開始，政府為了解決軍人性的問題，不管是外島或台灣，到處設立軍中樂園（也稱八三一，後來改為軍中茶室），這些所謂的軍中樂園女服務生，就是跟...日軍慰安婦是一模一樣的。這些慰安婦進來的管道有好多種，有的是向貧家女的父母買來的，有的是妓女志願的，其中最多的是私娼被警察抓到送來的，尤其那些十四、五歲還沒有資格拿到公娼執照的私娼，一被抓到，必定被送到前線的軍中樂園當慰安婦，以避免逃亡。
民國四十年代後期，筆者在軍中擔任醫務工作，曾經在軍中樂園醫務室輪值時看過一個十六歲小女孩每天哭啼，原來她是在萬華寶斗里當私娼，那一年軍中慰安婦不夠，警務處下令掃蕩私娼，結果抓到一大批妓女送到軍中樂園，這個十六歲小女孩就是其中之一。我問她還不是一樣賺錢，為何那麼傷心，她說，一天對付幾十個年輕力壯的阿兵哥吃不消，下體疼痛也不能請假（除非是性病），在私娼寮客人沒那麼多，單價又高五、六倍，在軍中樂園等於囚犯在受刑。
筆者依軍中樂園的家數、人數及期間（從民國四十年代初期到六十年代末期）推估，在軍中樂園服務過的慰安婦起碼超過一萬人（國防部一定有資料），扣掉已經凋零的，現在尚健存的起碼還有好幾千人。這些慰安婦和日軍慰安婦情況是相同的，...。（作者為醫師） ""

台灣國運動召集人王獻極強調，九月八日是舊金山和約簽訂紀念日，條約明定日本放棄台灣的主權，九○八台灣國運動認定當天為台灣主權獨立日，每年都舉辦升旗典禮，昨在北市一○一大樓旁舉辦「正名制憲新國家、全民推進聯合國」。
游錫堃、台聯黨主席黃昆輝、多位民進黨及台聯立委到場，眾人揮舞「台灣國」旗幟，在「台灣翠青」這首認定的台灣國歌歌聲中，看著「台灣國」的旗幟升起。
游錫堃表示，依民進黨八月做的民調，七成民眾自稱是台灣人，外省族群也有近四成自認是台灣人，「台灣要獨立」是主流民意，絕非偏激議題，希望民眾支持民進黨的「長昌配」，做自己的主人，也把台灣送進聯合國。

黃昆輝指出，「既然已發動公投，無論如何一定要通過，不能讓國際錯誤解讀，否則台灣將付出慘痛代價！」 ""

2008年6月21日
: "" 中華民國這個政府的政權，自1949年10月1日起，已被中國共產黨所成立的中華人民共和國政府推翻消滅了，中華民國這個政府在聯合國所代表中國的國家主權，也於1971年10月25日被撤換，由中華人民共和國政府所繼承。中華民國政府在國際社會，自此終止代表中國主權國家的身分，降格淪落為不是國家的政府，或頂多是一個準國家政府的組織型態。
台灣人至今，尚未宣佈脫離中華民國體制，制憲建國。台灣人尚未制定，並實施ㄧ部屬於台灣人的台灣國憲法，以台灣國憲法建構台灣國體制，組成台灣國政府，再以台灣國政府，代表台灣人在國際社會，行使台灣國國家主權。到目前為止，無論是台灣人個人，或是台灣人團體組織或是政府團體代表，一出海關，就受到蹧蹋、凌辱，猶如無照流動攤販，在國際社會的商場中討生活，到處遭受取締一樣，過著沒有國家主權尊嚴的流浪生活。 "

" 眾人想聚共識，眾人做展形勢，眾人走向台灣國。
不要讓母親哭泣，不要讓子孫怨嘆，所有台灣人團結站起來，相信台灣國，天公有保庇，一定有信心，信心激力量，力量推行動，行動達建國。祈求天公上帝，賜給臺灣人勇氣，賜給台灣人力量，幫助台灣人建國。在咱這代，決志落實台灣國最後一步。就從這隻船出發，台灣新生制憲，人民奮起建國，制憲建國，是台灣唯一活路。

RE: [GlobalForumIntl] 美國對台灣的新任務!

美國對台灣的新任務
二零零七年八月美國國務院聲明：「the Republic of China is an undecided issue」，如果將”undecided issue”翻譯或解讀成「未定之議題」，實在與原來美國政府的原意相差甚多，首先以英文解讀：an undecided issue ＝an unsettled dispute ＝a dispute to be settled 中華民國（ROC）不是一個有待論的「話題」，而是一個有待解決的「爭議」。ROC is not a “ topic ”to be discussed but a “ dispute “ to be settled.
在台灣的中國人聽到聲明後，都沾沾自喜，將之解讀成「美國認為中華民國尚未滅亡，其未來還有待討論決定。」這是一廂情願之自我解讀。其實美國政府真正的想法是：「在一個中國政策之下，國際間根本不存在一個自稱合法中國的中華民國」，美國要表達的是：依據上海公報內容，海峽兩岸的中國人都認為中國只有一個，雙方（台灣人在外）沒有爭議，也都主張台灣是中國之ㄧ部分，雙方（臺灣人在外）間也沒有爭議。然而，所謂的爭議issue就是在「誰才是中國？」雙方至今還在為「一中各表」爭論，各自稱自己才是中國，外交方面也互爭，稱自己是合法中國，儘管如此，國際上都認定中華人民共和國為中國，沒有爭議。流亡在台灣的中華民國自稱中國，是有爭議的，這些就是一個有待解決的爭議（undecided issue），「一個中國」認定的爭議。
太平洋戰後，美國國務卿萊斯對台灣的「管轄當局」提醒（remind）：「美國與台灣還有關係」，因為，美國對台灣領土的戰後之戰爭責任並沒有結束，美國是法治國家，美國會「依法處理台灣」。台灣人已經依照戰爭法成立「台灣平民政府Taiwan civil government」，中國政府應該始料未及，美國軍事政府雖然尚未承認，這是屬於「政治問題」，美國政府與台灣平民政府間屬於何種層次之關係，尚未出現在「美中建交」公報之規範內，雖然現今有三個美中公報，美國政府和目前「台灣當局」也維繫某種關係往來，未來應該逐漸和台灣平民政府密切聯繫，流亡中華民國以美國軍事政府之代理人身分將會被停止，美國政府在台灣領土應有兩個新任務：
（一） 法理任務。代理美軍事政府負維和責任，並協助保證台灣平民政府的完全建立。
（二） 政治任務。擔任美國在西太平洋的前哨，牽制中國共產黨無限奴役世界人民的野心。

台灣領土和美國軍事政府之關係

""" 台灣領土和美國軍事政府之關係
美國高等（上訴）法院，即將在二零零九年二月五日召開【林志昇等控美政府案】言詞辯論，其中一項：「領土問題，是否為政治或法律問題？」
訴訟案中筆者曾引用：“status resulting from prior action”— 這裡的“status” 是指美國「主要佔領權國」。訴訟到今天為止，美國或法院都沒有提出異議，有關（一）在舊金山和約，美國對台灣是主要佔領權國。（二）從一九五二年到今天，沒有任何總統的行政命令、條約或法律，是改變美國對台灣主要佔領權國身份。而在台灣戰爭史上，發生的事實是：（一）一九四五年八月十五日日本無條件投降，在日本台灣領土上的軍隊，依盟軍最高統帥（SCAP）於九月二日頒布「一般命令第一號」，向盟軍代表蔣介石投降，中國軍隊也依照「戰爭期間協議（開羅與波次坦宣言）」，被分配佔領屬於日本四島外之海外領土台灣與澎湖，並且在當年十月二十五日至一九四七年五月十六日間，以「台灣省行政長官公署」名義軍管台灣；此後至一九四九年十二月六日間以「台灣省政府」名義，及至一九五二年四月二十七日（舊金山和約生效前），繼續執行「分配佔領」台灣領土。
中國政權（Chinese authority）以任何名義管轄台灣領土，都只是被美國軍事政府（USMG）所委託的性質。中國流亡以前，佔領台灣領土只是單純「中國軍事政府佔領」，然而，後來中國政府開始流亡，「雙重身份」混淆了台灣地位本來面目。
舊金山和約生效，日本依該約2b條放棄台灣領土主權（territorial right），美國是日本的「征服者conqueror」，依23條為Principal occupying power，有權利執行台灣領土佔領，是當然的「收受者」。
條約生效後，美國本來應自中國軍事政府手上取回佔領權，卻因共產黨赤化亞洲，政治考量沒有親自（as principal）來台執行佔領管轄，而是委託中國軍事政府和流亡中國就地代理（as agent）。
ㄧ九七九年台灣關係法，美國以「台灣當局the governing authority on Taiwan」取代「流亡中國」，美國仍然控管台灣，「流亡政府」依然是「代理」關係，「台灣平民政府」與美國之間，才會有「法理」關係，美國司法將會還原台灣地位真相，天佑台灣!

: "" 這個標題不是危言聳聽，而是前海牙「國際法院」法官小田滋（Shigeru Oda）兩年前所著《主權獨立國家的「台灣」——台灣在國際法中的地位》一書（台北國際文化基金會出版）的核心觀點。在馬政府全面親中，民進黨高層在台灣主權方向問題上舉棋不定，還有些綠營人士到美國打官司，要把台灣納入美國之際，實有必要重溫一下這位國際法專家對台灣前途的看法。
日本學者小田滋是資深的國際法專家，做過二十七年（連任三屆）聯合國「國際法院」法官（還曾任副院長），並曾任日本國際法協會會長。他對台灣的事務也很熟悉，早年曾隨祖父來台，在台灣長大並接受教育，和李登輝、辜寬敏、邱永漢等都是校友。他的這本書中，有三個觀點特別值得重視：
「台灣屬於中國」毫無法律根據
第一，他認為北京所謂「台灣是中華人民共和國的一部分」的說法，是毫無法律根據的政治幻想。這位法學專家指出，從任何國際法的觀點來看，「大陸與台灣都是兩個獨立主權國家。」之所以出現兩岸互不承認，和聯合國的五大常任理事國概念有關，因常任理事國的席位不能由兩國分享。而普通會員國，像當年的東西德和今天的南北韓都是普通成員，就可各享一個聯合國席位。當然首先，東西德、南北韓，都相互承認對方是政治實體。小田滋指出，聯合國當年決定由北京代表「中國」席位，絕對不是在「台灣是中華人民共和國的一部分」的前提下做成的；該決議只是解決中國代表權問題，沒有提到台灣（地位和前途）。「中華民國離開聯合國，但其實際上的主權國家地位毫無動搖。」因為國際法上的國家包括「土地、人民、政府」，或加上「外交能力」等要素。但有多少邦交國，不是關鍵因素。小田滋特別舉例說，日本和北韓就沒有外交關係，但這根本不能影響北韓是一個國家。今天，美國和古巴也沒有外交，但古巴仍是個國家，這都是常識。小田滋認為，今天台灣無法加入聯合國，不是因為台灣不是主權國家，而是因為北京阻止台灣做為主權國家擁有外交關係，各國基於對中國的現實考量，或恐懼北京而導致不敢承認台灣。說到底，這不是法律問題，而是專制中國在國際上封殺民主台灣的政治問題。
二戰結束時沒抓住獨立機會
第二，台灣必須通過制憲正名，成為正常國家。小田滋認為，從國際法角度，台灣和對岸的中國毫無隸屬關係，所以根本不存在台灣從中華人民共和國獨立的問題，只存在「台灣人從中華民國、國民黨獨立」的問題。他認為台灣的前途應該是通過制定一部新憲法，修改國號，使台灣成為一個正常的國家。他還提到，他和校友李登輝前總統見過面。李曾強調，「台灣無須從中華人民共和國獨立，原本就是獨立國家。」但這種說法只是解決了台灣和對岸中國的關係，而沒有解決台灣和中華民國的關係。李登輝後來提出的「兩國論」，仍是維持中華民國擁有台灣。
小田滋不無遺憾地指出，日本當年放棄台灣時，台灣建立一個「獨立的台灣國」並非不可能，但台灣沒有在國際上做此主張的卓越政治家，沒有印度的甘地那種領導者，而且很多台灣人還視國民黨抵台為「光復」，毫無抵抗地接受了當時法律上並不擁有台灣主權的中華民國。今天台灣的制憲正名、成為正常國家的進程，由於馬上台、國民黨全面親中而更加艱難，但只有「台灣從中華民國、國民黨獨立出來」的必要性被更多的民眾明白，深入人心（尤其是台灣的政治家），才會在有歷史機會時，變成事實。
把國民黨趕到金門馬祖
第三，國民黨強調「一個中國」是自欺不能欺人。小田滋以日本為例說，日語的「中國」這兩個字，和漢語的書寫一模一樣。原本的所謂「中國」是歷史、文化的概念，而不是國際法的概念。但隨著北京在聯合國獲得「中國」代表權，再加上近年其經濟和軍事崛起，不要說國際社會，即使台灣的近鄰，並對台灣好感的日本國民，也多認為「中國」是中華人民共和國，而不是台灣的中華民國。所以，無論馬政府再怎麼強調一個中國就是中華民國，不僅沒用，而且突出了「中國」，就等於突出了北京，矮化了台灣。因此小田滋提出「兩中一台」的構想：中華人民共和國統治大陸，中華民國遷到金門、馬祖；台灣人擁有台灣。這樣，國民黨回到法律意義上屬於中華民國的金門、馬祖，他們和北京的中國是喊「一中各表」，還是終極統一，都隨他們的便；讓台灣人擁有自己的土地和國家。
這個「兩中一台」的構想國民黨當然不可能同意，他們一定會死死地抱住台灣不放。但只要國民黨跟對岸的共產黨扯不清，台灣人的命運就等於掌握在對岸手裡；而只要台灣跟「中華民國」扯不清，「台灣」就不會見天日，只會被中國籠罩。所以，從中華民國和國民黨獨立出來才是綠營的方向。 ""

My blog http://bbcwebb.blogspot.com where almost all my life efforts are, is still on, after its whole first page (including the statement that Hiroshima/Nagasaki is TT, True Terrorism, your German Headquarter?) was wiped out.
We will go back to Formosa next year for our father's centennial art exhibition at Toijung (what in Hoklo for Taichung?)'s Formosan National Art Museum, from Aug 1 to Oct 31. Opening ceremony on Aug 1, Saturday. It's really sad and worrisome what is going on in our dear still-to-be-born country, Formosa. It has to be drastically changed very soon! We have to be very clear and loudly open in front of the whole world. Let's terminate everything ChKMT and ChROC even in Formosa as far as possible. We are Formosans, we have our own nations in Formosa. What we are against directly right now is ChKMT and ChROC, not historical Dr. Sun Yat-sen's KMT or ROC, or even current PRC. Let's concentrate ourselves to ternunate our direct enemy in Formosa! EVEN according to ChKMT's party charter and ChROC's constittution, its Chairman? and President Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo are grave criminals and sinners!! Do Chinese understand this?

To: sheh-gni tsai
: "" Sheh-gni,
Nothing happens without a little faith, and without hard work.
Antarcticland, which claims a slice of Antarctica, and which is based in Panama (where its Regent lives), has even formally applied to the United Nations. That application is now pending, but I don't think the UN will ever approve it. Antarcticland has citizens around the world, especially in Italy.
Seeing that the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) had found recognition with the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP), they pursued that avenue. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again!
The Antarcticland Minister in Rome then contacted the ISPSP, which is based in Palermo, Italy. After the introduction, they most certainly were asked to supply comprehensive information about Antarcticland, because the ISPSP can't just approve anything.
When I did that for the UMMOA, not only I wrote it in Italian, but I also supplied maps, and printed an 8-page, 4,512 word document in colour. I'm sure people reading it would understand that UMMOA is real, I explained why it is our land, not the United States', and I also gave as much detailed information about UMMOA as an educated NATIVE possibly could have! -- UMMOA has no natives, though. So I'm certain Antarcticland had to present their case in a thorough and intelligent manner as well.
Yes, the ISPSP is an alternative UN. It was founded on 15 December 1975 by the Cypriot archbishop Makarios III, who was actually the President of Cyprus, to address the increasingly uncertain situation in Cyprus then. Later on, the ISPSP opened up to the quest for peace everywhere in the world, especially in the Americas and Africa. The first countries to recognise the ISPSP under International Law were the United States and Italy.
Currently the Lord President is the Msgr. Viktor Busà (he also is an archbishop of the autocephalous Cypriot Orthodox Church). The First International Vice President is Teodoro O.N. Mbasogo, President of Equatorial Guinea. The Second Vice President is Hugo R. Chávez Frías, President of Venezuela. Yes, the guy that made fun of Bush at the United Nations. The Third Vice President is Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh, President of The Gambia.
Forget about the EU. I've tried contacting them too. They won't take you seriously even as an observer nation, and the EU is Euro-centric, not fully international in character. Some ISPSP links are below. Please note that the contents of the Wikipedia article are not necessarily reliable or accurate.

Subject: Antarcticland achieves recognition of the ISPSP
Antarcticland has achieved the recognition of all governments and nations members of the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace, New Society of the Nations.
Antarcticland (.ANT in the Cesidian Root) is now legally incorporated into the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP), an alternative United Nations (UN) that was juridically recognised by International Law, and the first nations to recognise it were the United States and Italy.
Today the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP) has parliamentary and diplomatic delegations in more than 203 nations and territories, and relations with 9 international organisations.
The Governments of Independent Long Island (ILI) and the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) congratulate the Regent of Antarcticland, H.H. Sir Giovanni Caporaso Gottlieb, and his Ministers for this fantastic achievement!

Please see the discussion on the talk page. (July 2008)
Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved.
The International Parliament for Safety and Peace (IPSP), also known as International States Parliament, is an international organization based in Palermo, Sicily, Italy with a moderate activity profile in the pursuit of safety and peace, next to an active profile in the distribution of honors to people and organizations. The organization was founded on 15 December 1975 by the Cypriot archbishop Makarios III to address the increasingly uncertain situation in Cyprus then. Later on the IPSP opened up to the quest for peace everywhere in the world, especially in the Americas and Africa.[citation needed] Viktor Busá is its current president.
The International Parliament consists of two chambers: The High Chamber with 400 Senators and the Deputies Assembly with 800 Deputies. Senators and Deputies are elected every five years by the supreme Council of Presidents [1]. They may be confirmed for consecutive terms future elections. Every two years the International Parliament organizes the Safety and Peace Conference in the Mediterranean, attended by diplomats and politicians from all over the world. During the conference opening, the President awards the Peace Trophy to the heads of State who distinguished themselves with their peace efforts (see e.g. [1] and [2] ) . The Peace Trophy as much as positions like Vice-President are given to Presidents of Sovereign States in order to involve them into Peace efforts and to oblige them merely by social means to serve Safety and Peace and to be moderate in their political decisions.
The IPSP has introduced cooperation agreements with governmentally accredited universities such as the United Nations Peace University in Costa Rica [2] and the Cambodian Mekong University.[3]
The organization prides itself in a long list of dignitaries in senator, deputy, and executive positions in global, regional or local chapters. The Dallas Morning News has referred to such a position as bodacious credentials.[4] The IPSP, however, further hands out medals for arts (see [3]) and as mentioned before an annual trophy for the pursuit of peace. The Peace Trophy has been bestowed upon presidents and former presidents world-wide like e.g. Dr. Carlos Saul Menem , then President of the Republic of Argentina , Lansana Conté, President of the Republic of Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo , President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea and Hugo Chavez Frias, President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
As of March 2007, the IPSP enjoys a Royal Protectorate by the Royal House of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.[5]
IPSP has had an external representative in attendance at the 13th meeting of the Technical Committee of the Whole of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Abeba in 1992.[6]
The IPSP also attended via its Department for Natural Protection (D.E.P.N.) the International Colloqium of the United Nations Peace University which took place in Cannes in 1988.[7]

Tel. 091/6371315 - Fax 091/6173428
: "" The International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP) was founded December 15, 1975 by a letter of the Constitution of the International Legislative Assembly. It was juridically recognized by the International Law and the first nations to recognize it were the United States and Italy. It is parallel to the United Nations and, like the United Nations, has representative embassadors from all nations. The headquarters of the ISPSP is in Italy. The Lord President of the Parliament is the Archbishop Viktor Busa, President of the Council of the States. The International First Vice President of the ISPSP is Dr. Hugo Chavez Frias, President of the Republic of Venezuela.
Mgr. Viktor Busa is an activist devoted to the cause of peace, defense of life, and human rights. He has been in the struggle for the cause for 25 years without a break, since the creation of the ISPSP. His visionary dream for peace in the world and respect for human beings makes his life really remarkable. Two years after the creation of the ISPSP, his partner and co-founder of the ISPSP and its first General Secretary, Monsignor Makarios III, died. Mgr. Viktor Busa went ahead alone, as the chair of the ISPSP, until Dr. Sypros Kyprianou (then new President of the Republic of Cipro) was elected Vice President International of lSPSP. Working together with his new partner, he created the Assembly of the Parliament, and in 1977, signed a convention with President Rodrigo Carazo, at the University of Peace of the United Nations, in Costa Rica.
After looking for the concurrence of all of the nations in the world, through their representative governments, the Parliament counts with 400 senators, 800 deputies, ambassadors and ministers, who contribute, like their President and General Secretary, with their volunteer work, to the cause of peace.
The work of the delegates and ministers of the ISPSP towards peace and enforcement of the respect for life and human rights includes rendering help and support to all of the people of the world, observing the right of safety and peace in alI aspects: moral, political, diplomatic, cultural, religious, economic and social. This is free to the governments. ISPSP organizes commissions to send to the country in need, with the participation of volunteer ministers and parlamentary diplomats, who travel and work free of charge in order to resolve conflicts and help to re-establish security and peace. Following the re-establishment of safety and peace, Lord Viktor Busa gives, as incentive, Peace Trophies to the head of the places or countries where the commission worked.
The work of the agents of the ISPSP is paying off with good results in many places. Once a year, there is a congress of the ISPSP, where Delegates present their reports. Victorious interventions have been worked out and reported from the Diplomatic Crisis between Turkey and Chipre; the crisis between Somalia and Ethiopia; between Iran and Irak, Equador and Peru, and the conflict in Uganda. The ISPSP also has made a contribution of diplomatic intervention in wars of several countries and places, as in the Middle East, in the civil war in Sri Lanka, in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda, Congo, Angola and Mozambique. There are diplomats from the ISPSP working in South Africa, Moldavia, Russia and Chechynia. In support of the United Nations, Lord Busa and the ISPSP have participated in the Conferences of Addis, Ababa and Vienna.
As observers, the ISPSP has sent parlamentaries to the general elections En Congo. The democratization of the Republic of Congo started in 1990. In this process, Lord Viktor Busa cooperated with the Congolese government in order to give the people assurance of security and to admit the need for immediate peace. ISPSP organized a local sub-division with several Congolese members of different categories, notable jurists, high functionaries, ministries, etc. to negociate peace with agressors from the borders of DRC. When the aggression intensifed, Lord Busa himself organized a series of international conferences, in order to gather international support. This contributed to the acceleration of the United Nation's resolution in sending in the "blue helmets" and in assisting in the reconstruction of the nation. There are evidences of recognition of the authorities of several countries, who send to Lord Busa their letters, memoranda, and other tokens of their gratitude for the Parliament services.
In 1985, Lord Viktor Busa personally got involved with the creation of the World Organization of the Indigenous and Aborigenous Peoples. There are several ministers of the ISPSP working now at the front of the Andean Movement for re-culture of the Inca countries. The movement started in Arequipa, Peru and in Cusco, where several ISPSP volunteer diplomats are working directly with the Inca natives in order to achieve a new interpretation of the past history of Perù, including the Inca past on it. It is a wonderful movement with the creation of schools, workshops, festivals, etc. It is easy to see how volunteer work can achieve things which governmental paid organizations are not able to achieve.

: "" The Commonwealth is an association of sovereign nations which support each other and work together towards international goals. It is also a 'family' of peoples. With their common heritage in language, culture, law, education and democratic traditions, among other things, Commonwealth countries are able to work together in an atmosphere of greater trust and understanding than generally prevails among nations. At the start of 2007, there were 53 member countries in the Commonwealth.
However, the Commonwealth has no formal constitutional structure. It works from understood procedures, traditions, and periodic statements of belief or commitment to action. Intergovernmental consultation is its main source of direction, enabling member governments to collaborate to influence world events, and setting up programmes carried out bilaterally or by the Commonwealth Secretariat, the association's main executive agency. The most widely-used definition of the Commonwealth is taken from the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, 1971:
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states ... consulting and cooperating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace. "

'The Militarization of the World's Urban Peripheries' Raúl Zibechi | Feb9,2007: Americas Policy Program Special Report: Americas Policy Program, Center for International Policy (CIP) americas.irc-online.org: http://tinyurl.com/World-sPoor
: Translated from: La militarización de las periferias urbanas, Translated by: Maria Roof:
: "" Urban peripheries in Third World countries have become war zones where states attempt to maintain order based on the establishment of a sort of "sanitary cordon" to keep the poor isolated from "normal" society.
"Army sources confirmed that techniques employed in the occupation of the Morro da Providéncia favela [slum] are the ones Brazilian soldiers use in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti."1
This admission by Brazilian armed forces largely explains the interest of Lula da Silva's government in keeping that country's troops on the Caribbean island: to test, in the poor neighborhoods of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, containment strategies designed for application in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and other large cities. "
... ...
" Urban Poor as a Threat
Urban theorist Mike Davis analyzes urban peripheral areas in terms of a commitment to social change. A single sentence synthesizes his analysis: "It's the slum peripheries of poor Third World cities that have become a decisive geopolitical space."2 He asserts that Pentagon strategists are lending great importance to urban planning theory and architecture, since the peripheries are "one of the most challenging terrains for future wars and other imperialist projects."
In fact, a study by the United Nations estimates that one billion people live in peripheral neighborhoods outside Third World cities and that the poor in the largest cities in the world number some two billion, that is, a third of all human beings. These statistics will double within the next 15 or 20 years, and "all future growth of the world's population will occur in cities, 95% of it in cities of the Global South and the majority in slums."3
In fact, a study by the United Nations estimates that one billion people live in peripheral neighborhoods outside Third World cities and that the poor in the largest cities in the world number some two billion, that is, a third of all human beings. These statistics will double within the next 15 or 20 years, and "all future growth of the world's population will occur in cities, 95% of it in cities of the Global South and the majority in slums."3
The situation is much more serious than the numbers indicate: urbanization, as Davis explains, has become disconnected and autonomous from industrialization as well as from economic development, which implies the "structural and permanent disconnection of so many city dwellers from the formal world economy." On the other hand, he notes that, "over the last decade ... the poor—and not just the poor in classical urban neighborhoods [with high levels of organization]—but ... this new poor, on the fringes of the city, have begun organizing themselves massively ... whether that's Sadr, in Iraq, or an equivalent slum-based social movement in Buenos Aires."4
In Latin America the main challenges to elite domination have arisen in the heart of poor urban areas—from the 1989 "Caracazo" riots to the Oaxaca Commune in 2006. Proof of this are the popular uprisings in Asunción in March 1999, Quito in February 1997 and January 2000, Lima and Cochabamba in April 2000, Buenos Aires in February 2003, and El Alto in October 2003, just to name the most relevant cases.
Even more, urban peripheries are spaces from which subaltern groups have launched the most formidable challenges to the system, becoming a sort of popular counter-powers. Davis is right: control of the urban poor is the most important objective planned by governments, global financial organisms, and the armed forces of the most important countries.
Many large Latin American cities seem to border at times on social explosion, and several have erupted over the past two decades for various reasons. Fear among the powerful appears to point in two directions: postpone or make unviable the explosion or insurrection, and, also, avoid the consolidation of those "black holes" outside state control, where the main challenges to the elites occur. "
... ...
" In his reflection on Nazism in "On the Concept of History," German writer Walter Benjamin declared that "the tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the state of exception in which we live is the rule." United States policy since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, fits the concept of a "state of permanent exception." The "state of exception," which suspends civil rights and militarizes areas and complete nations, is applied in an indiscriminate way to different situations and for different reasons, from internal political problems to external threats, from an economic emergency to a natural disaster.
In effect, the state of exception was applied in situations such as the Argentine economic-financial crisis that burst into a broad social movement in December 2001, the response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and the containment of the rebellion by poor immigrants in the peripheries of French cities in 2005. The common thread, beyond circumstances and countries, is that in every case it is applied in order to contain the urban poor.

: "" 馬哈佛恩師 投書批台灣人權民視 (2008-11-14 07:55)
馬政府的司法不公，已經讓馬英九哈佛大學的老師孔傑榮看不下去，主動投書媒體批評!孔傑榮說，藍綠都有人遭起訴，但是有些明顯不法的國民黨人士卻被忽略!這樣的說法，讓同樣身為孔傑榮學生的，前副總統呂秀蓮感同身受，痛批台灣現在的人權法制已經倒退。5年前，當時的副總統的呂秀蓮，在總統府內宴請哈佛恩師孔傑榮，同樣是孔傑榮學生的馬英九也來了!師生看起來一片和樂融融，但是五年過去，馬英九從市長變成總統，老師對他的評價也打了折扣，因為孔傑榮，以「陳雲林炫風颳人權問題」為題投書媒體。
開頭就說，陳雲林來台期間，警方禁止群眾，亮出台灣旗幟和西藏旗幟，還要求唱片行拉鐵門，已經逾越自由社會的界限，接著讓他憂心的是台灣的司法，為什麼民進黨和國民黨，雙方都有人遭到起訴，但是有些明顯不法的國民黨人士，卻被忽略了，看到陳前總統被收押，孔傑榮也認為，收押嫌犯的標準應該更嚴謹，甚至連檢察官對外放消息的行為，也是民主制度不被容許的。
身為國際知名的人權教授，孔傑榮不忍看到台灣人權，一再被打壓，想要跳出來批馬英九的，還有學姐呂秀蓮!痛批台灣人權法制倒退，因為檢調辦案有顏色之分。
馬英九是讀法的，又當過法務部長，有些事不可能不知道，但是如果忘記，學姐老師都一再提醒，總該想起來了吧! ""

'深切關心中國特使陳雲林訪問期間拘捕與攻擊和平抗議的公民' 蘇哈，貝爾哈生
'Deep concern regarding the detention and attacks against citizens protesting peacefully during the visit of Chinese envoy Mr. CHEN Yunlin' Souhayr Belhassen
公開信給 Open letter to
馬英九總統 President Ma Ying-jeou
劉兆玄行政院長 Premier Liu Chao-hsuan
中華民國 – 台灣 Republic of China – Taiwan]
閣下們： Your Excellencies,
國際人權聯盟(FIDH)寫信給你們，是要表達深切關心有關中國特使陳雲林訪問期間拘捕與攻擊和平抗議的公民。FIDH相信，以國家安全作藉口所行的這些拘捕與暴行是嚴重違反人權。
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) is writing to you to express its deep concern regarding the detention and attacks against citizens protesting peacefully during the visit of Chinese envoy Mr. CHEN Yunlin. FIDH believes that such arrests and violence are grave violations of human rights, under the pretext of national security.
依據收到的資料，自11月3日起，台北市被7,000多名警察密集佔據。當局使出猛烈的措施，包括沒收與毀壞私有財產、侵犯與攻擊太靠近限制區或模糊限制區的人士，以武力清除社區公路、任意搜索與逮捕、和限制公民行動自由。這些行動在陳先生訪問期間，以保護安全的名義，都用上了。
According to the information received, since November 3rd, 2008, the city of Taipei has been heavily occupied by more than 7,000 police officers. The authorities have taken many drastic measures, including: confiscating and damaging private property, harassing and assaulting people who came too close to undefined or vaguely defined areas, clearing communal highway lanes with force, conducting random searches and arrests, and restricting the freedom of movement of citizens. These actions have been taken during Mr. CHEN's visit, in the name of protecting security.
然而，我們害怕實際上這些侵犯是要鎮壓公民的言論自由權。為了使公家暴力得逞，也進行史無前例的限制，明顯超過保護安全所需的範圍。例如，公民被限制展示或攜帶台灣國旗、被禁止宣稱「台灣不是中國的一部分、被禁止攜帶攝影器具、以及不得播送當局認為不適宜的音樂。
However, we fear these aggressions in fact aim at suppressing the right to freedom of expression of citizens. To supplement this violence, there are also unprecedented restrictions which clearly overpass the limits of ensuring security. For example, citizens have been restricted from displaying or carrying the national flag of Taiwan, forbidden to declare that "Taiwan is not part of China", forbidden from carrying filming devices, and restricted from playing any music the authorities consider inappropriate.
這些措施似乎要壓制政治意見而不是要保護安全，結果是它們大剌剌地違反台灣憲法，尤其是第11與14條規定的保護言論自由與國際人權標準。因此，FIDH要求，受到憲法與國家法律制約的國家警察局與國家安全局必須為他們違反司法職權被繩以責任。司法院與監察院必須馬上針對所有違反人權的指責進行獨立暨公正的調查，並且究責所有怠忽公務與法律職責的公務人員，以期和監察院最近的發佈一致 (恐翻譯的發佈內容不及原文悅耳動聽，我也懶得去找原文，請自行參考監察院的官文)。犯下上述違法的人員，特別是國家警察局與國家安全局的人員，必須被繩以責任，以期和台灣憲法第24條一致(請自行翻閱台灣憲法第24條)。
These measures seem to be aimed at silencing political opinions rather than protecting security, and thus they blatantly violate the Constitution of Taiwan, notably Articles 11 and 14 which protect freedom of expression and international human rights standards. Consequently, FIDH requests that the National Police Agency and National Security Bureau, bound by the Constitution and the national legislation, should be held responsible for violating their legal obligations. The Judicial Yuan and Control Yuan should immediately conduct independent and impartial investigations into all allegations of human rights violations and hold all personnel in office accountable for neglecting their civil and legal obligations, in line with the Judicial Yuan's recent statement that "it is very important to form an objective and solid review standard, and make the constitutional reviews more predictable and trust-worthy to people". Those who perpetrated these violations, particularly in the National Police Agency and National Security Bureau, must be held accountable, in accordance with Article 24 of the Constitution of Taiwan, which stipulates that "Any public employee who, in violation of law, infringes upon the freedom or right of any person shall, in addition to being subject to disciplinary punishment in accordance with law, be liable to criminal and civil action. The victim may, in accordance with law, claim damages from the State for any injury sustained therefrom."
更廣泛而言，FIDH請求政府要修改集會遊行法，特別是要廢除強制許可的規定，採納以自願為基礎的制度以及有關特別禁制區的條文，因為後者給予當局過多的裁量權來限制人民的集會與言論自由權。此外，當局必須廢除具有解散的命令以及特別刑事懲罰的條款，這是戒嚴法時代的殘餘物。最後，台灣必須建立執法人員必須把自己身份明確告知當事人的機制，以保證合法與負責。
More generally, FIDH calls upon the government to amend the Parade and Assembly Law, in particular : to abolish the requirement for mandatory permits and adopt the system of voluntary basis and the clause on special area of restriction, which gives too much discretion to the authority to restrict people's freedom of association and freedom of expression. In addition the authorities should abolish the order to dismiss as well as the provisions on special criminal punishment, which is a legacy of the martial law era. Finally, Taiwan should establish the protocol for law enforcement personnel who should have the obligation to clearly announce his or her identity when on duty, to ensure legitimacy and accountability.
閣下們， Your Excellencies,
我們的組織堅定相信，台灣發光的民主化果實對整個亞洲大陸有標竿的意義。我們因此對台灣人權令人驚訝的退化表示嚴重的關切，而且我們把它當作逐漸毀壞台灣立國之基的民主與人權價值的負面趨勢之訊號。希望你們考慮以上提出的關切。我靜候閣下們的佳音。
Our Organization firmly believes that the fruit of Taiwan's remarkable democratization has landmark significance to the Asian continent as a whole. We therefore express our serious concern over the alarming human rights degradation in Taiwan, and we do take it as a signal of a negative trend undermining the values of democracy and human rights on which Taiwan should be based. Hoping that you will take into consideration the above mentioned concerns, I remain,
敬祝政躬康泰 Yours sincerely,
蘇哈，貝爾哈生 Souhayr Belhassen ""

: "" Freedom House urges Taiwan's government to create an independent commission
to thoroughly investigate clashes between police and activists protesting
Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin's historic visit and recommend needed reforms.
"A public investigation of the violence which involved both sides will send
a critical message that the new government of President Ma Ying-jeou is
interested in upholding the democratic values of transparency and accountability,
" said Jennifer Windsor, Freedom House executive director. "The inquiry
should examine evidence on both sides and recommend any needed reforms to
police practices and the legal framework governing demonstrations."
Hundreds of university students are currently staging a sit-in in Taipei's
Freedom Square and several other cities to protest the government's handling
of the incident. During Chen’s visit, police reportedly used heavy-handed
tactics including physical assault, arbitrary detention and destruction
of property to prevent Chen from seeing symbols of Taiwanese or Tibetan
independence, as well as broader demonstrations against the Chinese regime.

The clashes reveal a need for police to undergo crowd control training that
adheres to the standards used in other democracies.(趙紫龍譯﹕這衝突顯示警察需要學習如何以其他民主國家的標準來控制民眾。) Likewise, demonstrators
and political advocacy groups must recommit themselves to orderly protests
that avoid violence under any circumstances.
The inquiry commission should examine controversial passages in Taiwan's
Assembly and Parade Law, such as restrictions on where people are allowed
to demonstrate, and determine whether they need to be liberalized to protect
citizens' rights to freedom of expression and assembly. The commission should also investigate claims that police are selectively enforcing the law.
The visit by Chen and the recent arrests of several opposition party figures
are raising concerns that that President Ma and his Kuomintang Party may
rollback democratic freedoms.(趙紫龍譯﹕陳雲林事件及最近逮捕反對黨人物已令人耽心馬總統及他的國民黨可能在減少民主應有的各項自由)
"The government must renew its commitment to tolerating robust freedom of
assembly and peaceful protest, no matter what the cause(趙紫龍譯﹕政府(指馬政府)必須重新落實其允許正常的自由集會及和平示威不論訴求為何的承諾)" said Windsor.

This is a severe contravention of the writ of habeas corpus and a basic violation of due process, justice and the rule of law.
我們認為檢察官所採取的法律程序有著嚴重的缺失：雖然當一、兩位被指控者已被正式起訴時，大多數被指控者卻在未被正式起訴情況之下就遭到收押禁見。這嚴重違反了人身保護令以及正當法律程序、公義與法治。
In the meantime, the prosecutor\'s offices evidently leak detrimental information to the press. This kind of "trial by press" is a violation of the basic standards of judicial procedures. It also gives the distinct impression that the Kuomintang authorities are using the judicial system to get even with members of the former DPP government. In addition, the people who are being held incommunicado are of course unable to defend themselves against the misreporting and the leaks in the news media.
在此同時，檢察官辦公室很明顯地將相關不利消息透露給媒體。這種「透過媒體辦案」的方式違反司法程序的基本標準；也讓外界認為國民黨政府利用司法系統來報復已下台的民進黨政府。此外，被收押禁見的人，在與外界斷絕聯繫的情況下，無法澄清外界不實報導與媒體洩密。

二十多名美國專家學者對台灣司法倒退寫第二封公開信
-------------------------------------------
美專家又致函台法務部質疑貪瀆案
VOA記者： 張佩芝 華盛頓 2008年12月3日
: "" 包括前美國在台協會理事主席白樂崎在內的二十多名美國專家學者星期二聯名寫第二封公開信給台灣法務部，對台灣司法單位近來對多名前民進党官員貪瀆案的偵辦過程與做法提出質疑。在此之前，這些專家學者在第一封公開信中表達了對台灣司法倒退的擔憂。
包括前美國在台協會理事主席白樂崎(Nat Bellocchi)在內的二十多名美國專家學者星期二再次聯合致函台灣法務部長王清峰，表達對最近台灣司法倒退的擔憂。
兩個星期前，白樂崎等人聯名寫信給台灣法務部，敦促台灣司法單位在偵辦前台灣內政部長余政憲、前外交部長陳唐山、嘉義縣長陳明文、前國安會秘書長邱義仁、云林縣長蘇治芬等7人可能涉及的貪腐案件時，能确保檢察官對外獨立性、實行無罪推定、遵守偵查不公開、落實公開審判等原則。 這些被調查的人當中許多都是陳水扁執政時期的民進党高層官員。
*台法務部作出回應*
台灣法務部在11月24號回應這封信時表示，檢察官對于政府官員貪腐行為都有追查義務，不受任何幹涉。台灣法務部說，白樂崎等人的信函表示檢察官追查對象似乎選擇性針對陳水扁執政時期的官員，但是貪瀆犯罪本來就是以執政官員為追查對象，在野者並未任官，檢查官也無從查起，並沒有選擇性辦案的問題。法務部的聲明還說，關于羈押制度，為了防止被告逃亡和保全證據，台灣法律定有嚴格的羈押要見，並不違反公義和法治的要求。
*六點質疑*
針對台灣法務部的聲明，白樂崎等人在12月2號刊登于台北時報的公開信中對台灣法務部長王清峰的迅速回應表示感謝，不過仍對法務部的說明提出六大點質疑。白樂崎等人認為，為了防止嫌疑人潛逃而采取預防性羈押的做法很明顯只能使用于罪行嚴重，嫌疑人可能會潛逃的情況下；然而在過去几個星期，這種預防性羈押的做法被廣泛使用，而且只用于現任或前任民進党官員身上，讓人怀疑台灣司法系統的公正性。 另外，台灣法務部表示，台灣的司法系統沒有受到政治操縱的影響，那么白樂崎等人也質疑，為什么在過去几個星期，只有民進党官員受到羈押，而且遭受不人道的待遇，包括被戴上手銬並遭到冗長的偵訊，而有明顯貪腐行為的國民党員的貪瀆案卻在司法過程中停滯不前，甚至沒有遭到起訴。
*白樂崎：望台灣維持民主*
前美國在台協會理事主席白樂崎在接受美國之音采訪時表示，在這封信上簽名的學者盡管對某些情況有自己不同看法，但是他們認為，台灣法務部做出的聲明中很多陳述都是令人質疑的，因此第二封信是對法務部的說法做出回應。
白樂崎說：“台灣是一個民主體制，我們希望台灣能維持這個體制，但是現在很多人對目前情況感到擔憂，我們都希望台灣能持續施行民主，但是現在發生的一些事情並不是朝那個方向走。”
參與這封連署信的美國專家學者除了白樂崎之外還包括前美國副總統辦公室亞洲安全顧問葉望輝(Stephen Yates)、傳統基金會高級研究員譚慎格 (John Tkacik), 賓州大學教授林蔚(Arthur Waldron)、邁阿密大學教授金德芳(June Dreyer)等知名學者。

自然，台灣是有貪汙的狀況，但這樣的狀況，在國、民兩黨皆都存在著。而司法系統的政治中立，則是民主能否持續的基本要素。同時，在法庭證明其罪行成立前，任何被告應被無罪推定，這也是基本的法理原則！
We also believe that the procedures followed by the prosecutor’s offices are severely flawed: while one or two of the accused have been formally charged, the majority is being held incommunicado without being charged. This is a severe contravention of the writ of habeas corpus and a basic violation of due process, justice and the rule of law.
我們並認為，檢察官們以下的作法模式有嚴重的缺陷：那些被告中只有一個或兩個是被正式起訴，其餘卻是在未起訴情形下就被拘押囚禁。這樣的作法已嚴重違反了司法的程序正義和人身保護令狀的法律規定。
In the meantime, the prosecutor’s offices evidently leak detrimental information to the press. This kind of “trial by press” is a violation of the basic standards of judicial procedures. It also gives the distinct impression that the Kuomintang (KMT) authorities are using the judicial system to get even with members of the former DPP government.
與此同時，檢察官辦公室顯然又選擇性地將不利的資訊洩露給新聞界。這樣的運用「新聞審判」手法，是違反了司法程序上的基本準則。也因此，不得不讓人產生了「國民黨政府正運用司法系統來清算前民進黨政府成員」的印象。
In addition, the people who are being held incommunicado are of course unable to defend themselves against the misreporting and the leaks in the news media.
另外，被告由於遭收押囚禁，自然便無法針對種種的誤報與「新聞審判」進行說明與自清。
We do firmly believe that any alleged wrongdoings must be dealt with in a fair and open manner in an impartial court. Justice through the rule of law is essential to Taiwan’s efforts to consolidate democracy and protect fundamental human rights.
我們堅信，任何被指控的不法行為必須是在一個中立的法庭裡，以一種公正和公開的方式被處理。遵循法律規範的司法，對台灣在鞏固民主和保護基本人權的努力上，是不可或缺的基本要件。
We do not want to see Taiwan’s hard-earned democracy jeopardized in this manner. Taiwan can justifiably be proud of its transition to democracy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It would be sad for Taiwan and detrimental to its international image if the progress which was made during the past 20 years would be erased. Taiwan needs to move forward, not backwards to the unfair and unjust procedures as practiced during the dark days of Martial Law (1947-1987).
我們不願見到台灣得來不易的民主就這樣被毀壞。台灣是有資格為其在1980年代末期至1990年代初期的民主轉變感到驕傲。然過去20年在民主上的進展，若就這樣被一筆消去，這對台灣不但將會是悲哀，也將損害到其國際形象。台灣需要向前邁進，而不是倒退回戒嚴令時期（1947∼1987年）那一段司法程序不公平和不正義的黑暗日子。

1-4. '台美人社團聯合聲明 籲台灣司法守程序正義' [Taiwanese.Americans] [台灣海外網 Taiwanus.net, Nov16,08: 中央社 更新日期: Nov17,08 http://tinyurl.com/5axm6s
: "" （中央社記者林芥佑華盛頓十六日專電）三十一個旅美台灣人團體發表聲明，對台灣檢調單位偵辦前總統陳水扁家族海外金錢案的過程表達關切，這些社團呼籲，台灣司法應謹守公平、公正與正當程序，莫成為當權者打擊異己的政治工具。
由全美台灣同鄉會發起的這項連署聲明，包括台灣人公共事務會 (FAPA )在內，共有美國各地三十一個社團參與，這些台美人認為，負責偵辦陳前總統相關案件的特偵組並未提出確鑿証據，卻以手銬扣押一位卸任總統，對司法如此濫權，罔顧人權與程序正義，全美台灣同鄉會成員至感憤怒，要表示最強烈的抗議。
全美台灣同鄉會會長謝榮峻表示，台美人社團原以為台灣司法能以正當法律程序，依証據公正調查及審理陳水扁家族的海外鉅額資金問題，但特偵組的作為，卻公然棄置「無罪推定」的最重要司法原則於不顧，先作有罪定論，再到處找証據，無事証則押人取供，濫用「自由心証」，為達鏟除陳水扁和其他民進黨人士之目的，不擇手段。
謝榮峻說，台美人社團認為，在李登輝及陳水扁兩位本土政權執政之後，台灣司法逐漸走向獨立與公正，但馬英九上任後不及半年，其政權大舉調查、扣押、起訴現任或前民進黨官員的行動，已形成一個固定模式，令人質疑這個復辟政權正有計畫的以司法之名，進行對本土政治領袖的絕滅政策。
因此全美台灣同鄉會發起這項連署聲明，提出三項訴求：一、要求台灣司法回歸公正、公平、符合正當程序並嚴守無罪推定的原則，不能將司法作為打壓異己的政治工具。二、要求台灣人民認清馬政府不重人權的本質和以司法之名鏟除異己的白色恐怖的行為，向馬政權嚴正抗議，並嚴加監督。三、呼籲國際社會，特別是美國政府與國會議員，對馬政權罔顧人權提出嚴正警告。971116 ""

: "" 陳雲林來台那天，電影《一八九五》有個試映會，大家都哭了。 " ... ...
" 試映會是台北水噹噹姊妹聯盟包的場。銀幕上北白川宮能久親王率近衛師團登陸
時，大家都憂心忡忡。心情隨著劇情起伏。看到苗栗義軍吳湯興、姜紹祖等以刀劍火銃
對抗配備精良的日軍，都替他們擔心。聽說那個「仍奉正朔，遙作屏藩」的台灣民主國
總統唐景崧竟然不戰而逃，都氣憤填膺。最後看到姜紹祖服毒自盡、吳湯興殉難，眼淚
就都擋不住了。
許多當晚要去嗆陳的觀眾，都穿著「反對賣台」的T恤來。大家的眼淚裡，有著太
多的聯想。陳雲林不就是來接收的能久親王嗎？誰是奉中國為正朔，棄台灣如草芥的唐

3-5. '《一八九五》的烈士與豎子---論「抗日？殺同胞？吳湯興史實翻案」' 自由電子報 Liberty Times: 自由廣場: 李筱峰專欄, Nov30,08: http://tinyurl.com/6qtsex
: "" 過去國民黨的教育每談到一八九五年台灣的抗日，都只著重唐景崧、丘逢甲、劉永福。然而這些人的「抗日」，禁不起歷史檢驗。唐景崧幹了十天的「台灣民主國」總統，日軍還在基隆，他就跑了；丘逢甲的抗日始終只是紙上功夫，說什麼「桑梓之地，義與存亡」，實則不曾打過一兵一卒一彈一砲，就捲走軍餉十萬銀兩潛逃了；劉永福也在主力部隊還未和日軍交戰，就抱著心愛的小狗從安平開溜了。最荒唐的是，唐景崧找來的一堆廣勇（廣東兵），駐守在北部，軍紀敗壞，擾民有加，抗日無能，最後官兵還變成盜賊！
真正投身抗日的，如吳湯興、徐驤、姜紹祖，率苗栗、新竹的客家子弟兵奮勇抗敵，捐軀成仁，卻因過去課本少提而不為人知。兩年前我有感於此，特在本專欄發表〈烈士與豎子〉一文，將吳湯興與丘逢甲等人對比。我不禁想起連橫在《台灣通史》論丘逢甲時，將吳湯興拿來比對的一句話—「成敗論人，吾所不喜。獨惜其為吳湯興、徐驤所笑爾」。
最近以吳湯興為主軸的電影《一八九五》，雖未能淋漓表達李喬原著的內涵，但已可讓國人對吳湯興的印象有了初步輪廓，值得嘉許。
然而電影《一八九五》推出之際，中國時報卻出現以「抗日？殺同胞？吳湯興史實翻案」為標題的新聞，指出吳湯興的部下劫殺廣東籍傭兵「河南勇」。報導中引述台灣文獻館林文龍研究員的訪談，指出原要號召民兵北上抗日的吳湯興等人，見到河南勇身上帶著金帛，要求留下財物，河南勇開槍拒絕，吳、姜的民兵遂殺死數百名河南勇。報導中說他們「殺死同胞的人數，可能遠超過日軍」。（11/21中時）
吳湯興真的帶兵「殺同胞」嗎？記得吳湯興號召民眾抗日時，曾發布告示，其中說：「望眾志戮力同心，一團和氣，不可互相戕殺…如有倚強欺弱，妄殺無辜，或肆行擄掠，糾黨劫財，定按軍法嚴辦。」如此申明軍紀的吳湯興，竟落得「殺同胞」的惡名？
原來吳湯興民兵所殺的「同胞」，就是我前述駐在台北的那批「官兵變盜賊」的廣東兵（所謂河南勇，係指廣東珠江流域之南的「河南營」訓練出來的傭兵）。那批「河南勇」趁唐景崧逃走之後，焚衙署，搶庫藏，往中、南部逃竄。
這是一支怎樣的軍隊？試看目睹當時情景的美國記者Davidson對他們的描述：「亂七八糟，毫無秩序。他們穿紅制服，暴躁慌張，大聲喧嚷，且有惡臭…」「軍官們已不能約束士兵…華兵互相吵鬧，殺害軍官，勒索搶劫…」請問這是哪一國的「同胞」？
再看看這些「同胞」在唐景崧潛逃後的行徑。Davidson這樣報導：「總統似乎送了五萬圓給自己的衛隊，以求逃出衙門。消息傳開後，其他兵士也來要求分錢，發現總統已經走了，就火燒總統府洩憤。…這樣一來，秩序大亂，暴徒們吵鬧放槍，在各處搶劫…兵工廠被打開了，附近街上擁擠著搶劫者，廠裡一切東西，無論槍砲…凡可移動者，無不搬走。…一尊小型克魯伯後膛砲，可用一兩塊錢買到。數千華兵不再打仗，而做起更有利的買賣。他們以幾角錢廉價賣槍，而把舊式步槍丟在城外的稻田中…。」
這些官兵變成強盜，流竄到中部，被我們抗日民兵殺了，活該！

'《台灣老百姓的覺醒》: 「野草莓運動」' 宋泉盛, [福爾摩莎 創值社]: 台灣海外網 Taiwanus.net, Nov27,08: http://tinyurl.com/5ehx8r
: "" 台灣落葉知秋的季節已過﹐雖然還沒有到寒風刺骨的時候﹐涼爽宜人的季節已經到來。在炎熱天氣之下的機車騎士不再橫衝直撞地蠻駛﹐道路上的行人不再滿身大汗﹐ 埋怨太陽那麼不留情。所有的生靈都吐了一口氣﹐忘記炎熱的天氣帶來的抑鬱與焦慮﹐魔術般地笑逐顏開。跟這變化成強烈對比的﹐是政治情勢的每況愈下﹐在中國國民黨的馬集團執政之下﹐乖戾之氣愈來愈瀰漫全國﹐已經到了台灣人民的政治命運早不保夕的危機狀態。這絕非聳人聽聞之言。在外呼內應齊頭並進之下﹐中國國民黨與共產中國聯手﹐快馬加鞭地拉緊套在台灣人民脖子上的繩子﹐直到斷氣為止。怎樣掙脫這致命的套繩贏得生機是台灣人民燃眉之急。
在這攸關台灣人民存活的時刻﹐大學生自動自發﹑遍地開花的「野草莓運動」給台灣人民掀起一股新的力量﹐打了一針強心劑。看了在風雨交加中靜坐的學生實在令人肅然起敬﹐讓我們重新點燃希望的火炬﹐相信最後的勝利是我們台灣人民的。「野草莓學生運動」的話訴求很簡單。學生要求
1. 保障「人權」﹑譴責「暴力」
2. 修改〈集會遊行法〉
3. 訂定修法時程表
馬團隊嗤之以鼻﹐不睬不理﹐一會兒教訓學生讀書要緊﹐一會兒預言「野草莓運動」不到兩三天就會無疾而終。但是﹐這學生運動已經持續兩個多禮拜﹐並且普及到台灣許多地方。
台中有一個廣場叫做「市民廣場」。台灣中部的「野草莓學生運動」就在那廣場夜以繼日地舉行。在寒風吹襲的一個傍晚與學生靜坐時﹐前來聲援的幾位奧吉桑﹑奧巴桑在那裡毫無忌諱地把壓抑在心裡的鬱卒一吐為快﹐交換他們的苦經。他們的聲音自然而然傳入靜坐者的耳朵和心竅裡﹐令人感觸很多。現在將所聽到的「老百姓的心聲」擇要紀錄於下﹐與讀者分享。
老百姓（甲）你看這些學生﹐多懂事﹑多「可取」（kh chhu),實在令人感 動。我們的香火終於可以傳到後代了﹗
老百姓（乙）這個無能政府弄得全國雞犬不寧﹐連學生也看不過去。
老百姓（丙）馬英九的國民黨政府都是騙人的,難怪馬的支持度一直下降﹐現在已經不到三成。大多數的台灣人不是覺醒了嗎﹖
老百姓（甲）我是退休的公務員﹐享受18啪的既得利益者。可是﹐共產黨一來﹐那18啪馬上就沒有了﹐連一塊錢也領不到了。台灣的主權比18啪要緊。
老百姓（丙）我沒有你那麼幸運﹐我沒有18啪。但阿共來了﹐你我不都是一樣﹖都是阿共「喝起喝倒」的奴隸。
老百姓（乙）﹕這都是我們的錯。我們的眼睛都是「龍眼目」。我們認賊作父﹐選錯了人。我們生活痛苦﹑阿共要來併吞台灣﹐現在知道﹐這都是馬英九上台後的「德政」。他要台灣亂得不能再亂﹐好讓阿共來收拾我們台灣人。
這個時候﹐一個坐在輪椅的中年老百姓加入發牢騷的行列。他「比手畫刀」﹐很激動地插嘴﹐說﹕
坐輪椅的老百姓﹕ 對﹗這都是馬英九帶來的禍。我們怎麼可以讓他繼續這樣「黑白做」下去﹖台灣快被他玩死了。我們總要想個辦法﹗
老百姓（甲）你們知道他是哪裡人嗎﹖
大家開始猜。有人說他是香港人﹐有人說他是台灣人。
做輪椅的老百姓: 你們都不對。他是中國的湖南人。他是中國人﹗
於是﹐這些老百姓異口同聲地說﹕原來他是中國人﹐難怪他看不起我們台灣人﹐要阿共來統治台灣。我們不佔出來怎麼行﹗
台灣自由﹑民主﹑主權的道路是一條坎坷不平的道路﹐還有很多阻礙物擋在我們面前。馬先生可以動用警察暴力人民﹐在民主的台灣倒行逆施﹐恐怖人民。但是﹐許多台灣的老百姓覺醒了﹗難道一千萬覺醒的老百姓不能扭轉台灣的乾坤嗎﹖我不相信﹗（2008/11/21) ""

2-4-3. 'Taiwan Wild Strawberries Movement Fights for Human Rights and Democracy'
http://tinyurl.com/StrawberryPetition Dec10,08 copied.
: "" View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: ALL WHO SUPPORT HUMAN RIGHTS & DEMOCRACY
Since 6th November 2008, students in Taiwan have launched a sit-in movement against the "Parade and Assembly Law" which contradicts the Constitution Law. The movement fights for the human rights and the democracy in Taiwan.
*****************************************************************************
Starting on November 3, with the visit of representatives from China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) to sign various agreements with our government , police officers have engaged in numerous abusive acts against peaceful protesters from various dissenting groups, under the guise of "keeping the peace". These acts have included arbitrary searches and prohibitions, seizure and destruction of property, physical assault, dispersion, and even arrest and detention. The vast majority of the victims of this police brutality were nowhere near ARATS Chairman Chen Yunlin, and were simply passing, standing, or photographing various areas when they were victimized.
Through reports in the media, we have come to realize the seriousness of the current situation. It is no longer a technical question of excessive law enforcement tactics, nor is it simply a partisan issue between supporters of various political parties. This is a proliferation of state sponsored violence that is provoking and attacking civil society. All these oppressive acts, which ignore human rights and democratic values are reminiscent of martial law. Even legislators from the ruling party have expressed concern over this issue to the Executive Yuan, only to see the chief authority - Premier Liu, dodge responsibility while providing only the flimsiest of excuses. We are stunned and outraged by this response, as well as ashamed and increasingly uneasy.
We must ask: Does increasing cross-Strait exchange require Taiwan to lower its standards of freedom and democracy, in order to achieve the same level of repressive authoritarian rule that China has?
In only a few short days, the liberal democracy that the people of Taiwan have fought so hard for has nearly collapsed amid massive police presence in the city, and the atmosphere of fear and repression that it brings. Behind its police state-like barricades, our government remains blinded by its delusions of a "meeting of historic proportions", and indulges itself in its receptions and banquets. Through this all, the peoples' constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and movement have been cast aside, and even forgotten.
As many of their actions are unconstitutional, it is not surprising that not a single police officer before the cameras has been able to definitively state what law empowers them to carry out the orders issued to them by their superiors. Police officers are supposed to be civil servants charged with protecting the people. Yet under the outrageous requests issued from above, they have become thugs restricting and punishing the people for expressing their opinions. We have no intention of blaming individual police officers who can only obey orders issued by their superiors. Rather, we solemnly demand that the highest authorities in the government bear the largest share of political responsibility for these abuses.
We are simply a group of university professors, students, cultural workers, and citizens who are concerned about Taiwan's current state of disorder and future development. At 11AM on November 6, without any support or mobilization from any political party or civic group, we will assemble at the gate of the Executive Yuan in black clothes and face masks symbolizing our painful protest, and will join hands sitting in civil disobedience until our requests are met. We demand that--
1.President Ma Ying-jeou and Premier Liu Chao-shiuan must publicly apologize to all citizens.
2.National Police Agency Director-General Wang Cho-chiun and National Security Bureau Director Tsai Chaoming must step down.
3.The Legislative Yuan must revise the Parade and Assembly Law, which currently restricts the rights of the people.
Thousands of university students nationwide have joined by organizing their local protests since November 6.
NOW, WE NEED MORE INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT. WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO OUR CAUSE OF THE FIGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY. AND WE ASK YOU TO INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TO JOIN US AND SING THE SONG OF WILD STRAWBURRIES-- http://taiwanstudentmovement2008.blogspot.com/2008/11/voice-of-wild-berries-theme-song-for.html

2008年 12月 10日
60個社運團體齊聲譴責，國民黨凍結預算，政府黑手進公視
昨天（九日）立法院教育文化委員會與內政委員會分別通過對公共電視台、原住民電視台、客家電視台、宏觀電視台之九十八年度預算執行施以附加決議，要求各台於執行明年度預算時須逐項報請主管機關核可同意始能動支，更明文要求原住民族委員會、客家委員會、僑務委員會等機關要對所主管之電視台執行節目製播、審核、監督之責。而今年公共電視二分之一的預算尚被立法院凍結無法使用。
新聞見報後，社運團體今日（十日）下午展開串連、發表聲明，短短兩小時就獲得四十多個全國各領域運團體聲援、支持。

【社運團體聯合聲明】
立院凍結公視預算 扼殺多元發聲管道
昨天（九日）立法院教育文化委員會與內政委員會分別通過對公共電視台、原住民電視台、客家電視台、宏觀電視台之九十八年度預算執行施以附加決議，要求各台於執行明年度預算時須逐項報請主管機關核可同意始能動支，更明文要求原住民族委員會、客家委員會、僑務委員會等機關要對所主管之電視台執行節目製播、審核、監督之責。而今年公共電視二分之一的預算尚被立法院凍結無法使用。
我們認為，政府以如此公然明顯的方式，意圖將政治的黑手伸入公視，是台灣言論自由的重大倒退，過去二十年，黨政軍退出媒體已經在民間形成共識，也獲得相當初步的成果，立法院今日的一紙決議，毀棄了過去的黨政軍三退的成果，並且宣告政府的黑手將再度箝制媒體的言論。
公共電視成立十年來，所製播的的節目品質有口皆碑，謹守客觀中立的立場，自外於商業傳媒的惡性競爭，為社會的弱勢與其他不見容於商業傳媒的聲音提供發聲管道，凍結公視預算，就等同是封殺了弱勢與其他多元聲音的發聲管道。
綜觀世界各國公視，預算雖由政府編列，但其營運獨立，不受政府之控制，更何況是其製播內容。要求各部會負責監督、審核公視節目內容，明顯違反公視法第十一條規定：「公共電視屬於國民全體，其經營應獨立自主，不受干涉」。
「公共電視是國民共有的電視台，不是政府的電視台。」我們要求，立法院應遵守公視法的規定，還給公視獨立自主的營運空間，並且尊重公視做為公共發聲場域的地位，勿因委員個人好惡，扼殺多元聲音。

[Tsai 08.12.15=1 #1] Dear CK: Are you still in Formosa? This is from my Internet Explorer bbcwebb@yahoo.net inbox, the other Firefox bbcweb@att.net inbox keep "loading" since a few days ago. My blog http://bbcwebb.blogspot.com where almost all my life efforts are, is still on, after its whole first page (including the statement that Hiroshima/Nagasaki is TT, True Terrorism, your German Headquarter?) was wiped out.
We will go back to Formosa next year for our father's centennial art exhibition at Toijung (what in Hoklo for Taichung?)'s Formosan National Art Museum, from Aug 1 to Oct 31. Opening ceremony on Aug 1, Saturday. It's really sad and worrisome what is going on in our dear still-to-be-born country, Formosa. It has to be drastically changed very soon! We have to be very clear and loudly open in front of the whole world. Let's terminate everything ChKMT and ChROC even in Formosa as far as possible. We are Formosans, we have our own nations in Formosa. What we are against directly right now is ChKMT and ChROC, not historical Dr. Sun Yat-sen's KMT or ROC, or even current PRC. Let's concentrate ourselves to ternunate our direct enemy in Formosa! EVEN according to ChKMT's party charter and ChROC's constittution, its Chairman? and President Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo are grave criminals and sinners!! Do Chinese understand this?

To: sheh-gni tsai
: "" Sheh-gni,
Nothing happens without a little faith, and without hard work.
Antarcticland, which claims a slice of Antarctica, and which is based in Panama (where its Regent lives), has even formally applied to the United Nations. That application is now pending, but I don't think the UN will ever approve it. Antarcticland has citizens around the world, especially in Italy.
Seeing that the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) had found recognition with the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP), they pursued that avenue. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again!
The Antarcticland Minister in Rome then contacted the ISPSP, which is based in Palermo, Italy. After the introduction, they most certainly were asked to supply comprehensive information about Antarcticland, because the ISPSP can't just approve anything.
When I did that for the UMMOA, not only I wrote it in Italian, but I also supplied maps, and printed an 8-page, 4,512 word document in colour. I'm sure people reading it would understand that UMMOA is real, I explained why it is our land, not the United States', and I also gave as much detailed information about UMMOA as an educated NATIVE possibly could have! -- UMMOA has no natives, though. So I'm certain Antarcticland had to present their case in a thorough and intelligent manner as well.
Yes, the ISPSP is an alternative UN. It was founded on 15 December 1975 by the Cypriot archbishop Makarios III, who was actually the President of Cyprus, to address the increasingly uncertain situation in Cyprus then. Later on, the ISPSP opened up to the quest for peace everywhere in the world, especially in the Americas and Africa. The first countries to recognise the ISPSP under International Law were the United States and Italy.
Currently the Lord President is the Msgr. Viktor Busà (he also is an archbishop of the autocephalous Cypriot Orthodox Church). The First International Vice President is Teodoro O.N. Mbasogo, President of Equatorial Guinea. The Second Vice President is Hugo R. Chávez Frías, President of Venezuela. Yes, the guy that made fun of Bush at the United Nations. The Third Vice President is Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh, President of The Gambia.
Forget about the EU. I've tried contacting them too. They won't take you seriously even as an observer nation, and the EU is Euro-centric, not fully international in character. Some ISPSP links are below. Please note that the contents of the Wikipedia article are not necessarily reliable or accurate.

[Tsai 08.12.2=2 #1] Dear Dr. Cesidio: This sounds a very heart-warming story out of the very cold! I wonder how they have done that, where they are located, and whether all explorators to the area have obtained their permission and visas from their very beginning? I have never heard about them or ISPSP! An alternative UN? Once I had hoped for the EU to grow irresistebly to be one! Websites for them?

Subject: Antarcticland achieves recognition of the ISPSP
Antarcticland has achieved the recognition of all governments and nations members of the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace, New Society of the Nations.
Antarcticland (.ANT in the Cesidian Root) is now legally incorporated into the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP), an alternative United Nations (UN) that was juridically recognised by International Law, and the first nations to recognise it were the United States and Italy.
Today the International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP) has parliamentary and diplomatic delegations in more than 203 nations and territories, and relations with 9 international organisations.
The Governments of Independent Long Island (ILI) and the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) congratulate the Regent of Antarcticland, H.H. Sir Giovanni Caporaso Gottlieb, and his Ministers for this fantastic achievement!

Please see the discussion on the talk page. (July 2008)
Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved.
The International Parliament for Safety and Peace (IPSP), also known as International States Parliament, is an international organization based in Palermo, Sicily, Italy with a moderate activity profile in the pursuit of safety and peace, next to an active profile in the distribution of honors to people and organizations. The organization was founded on 15 December 1975 by the Cypriot archbishop Makarios III to address the increasingly uncertain situation in Cyprus then. Later on the IPSP opened up to the quest for peace everywhere in the world, especially in the Americas and Africa.[citation needed] Viktor Busá is its current president.
The International Parliament consists of two chambers: The High Chamber with 400 Senators and the Deputies Assembly with 800 Deputies. Senators and Deputies are elected every five years by the supreme Council of Presidents [1]. They may be confirmed for consecutive terms future elections. Every two years the International Parliament organizes the Safety and Peace Conference in the Mediterranean, attended by diplomats and politicians from all over the world. During the conference opening, the President awards the Peace Trophy to the heads of State who distinguished themselves with their peace efforts (see e.g. [1] and [2] ) . The Peace Trophy as much as positions like Vice-President are given to Presidents of Sovereign States in order to involve them into Peace efforts and to oblige them merely by social means to serve Safety and Peace and to be moderate in their political decisions.
The IPSP has introduced cooperation agreements with governmentally accredited universities such as the United Nations Peace University in Costa Rica [2] and the Cambodian Mekong University.[3]
The organization prides itself in a long list of dignitaries in senator, deputy, and executive positions in global, regional or local chapters. The Dallas Morning News has referred to such a position as bodacious credentials.[4] The IPSP, however, further hands out medals for arts (see [3]) and as mentioned before an annual trophy for the pursuit of peace. The Peace Trophy has been bestowed upon presidents and former presidents world-wide like e.g. Dr. Carlos Saul Menem , then President of the Republic of Argentina , Lansana Conté, President of the Republic of Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo , President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea and Hugo Chavez Frias, President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
As of March 2007, the IPSP enjoys a Royal Protectorate by the Royal House of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.[5]
IPSP has had an external representative in attendance at the 13th meeting of the Technical Committee of the Whole of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Abeba in 1992.[6]
The IPSP also attended via its Department for Natural Protection (D.E.P.N.) the International Colloqium of the United Nations Peace University which took place in Cannes in 1988.[7]

: "" The International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP) was founded December 15, 1975 by a letter of the Constitution of the International Legislative Assembly. It was juridically recognized by the International Law and the first nations to recognize it were the United States and Italy. It is parallel to the United Nations and, like the United Nations, has representative embassadors from all nations. The headquarters of the ISPSP is in Italy. The Lord President of the Parliament is the Archbishop Viktor Busa, President of the Council of the States. The International First Vice President of the ISPSP is Dr. Hugo Chavez Frias, President of the Republic of Venezuela.
Mgr. Viktor Busa is an activist devoted to the cause of peace, defense of life, and human rights. He has been in the struggle for the cause for 25 years without a break, since the creation of the ISPSP. His visionary dream for peace in the world and respect for human beings makes his life really remarkable. Two years after the creation of the ISPSP, his partner and co-founder of the ISPSP and its first General Secretary, Monsignor Makarios III, died. Mgr. Viktor Busa went ahead alone, as the chair of the ISPSP, until Dr. Sypros Kyprianou (then new President of the Republic of Cipro) was elected Vice President International of lSPSP. Working together with his new partner, he created the Assembly of the Parliament, and in 1977, signed a convention with President Rodrigo Carazo, at the University of Peace of the United Nations, in Costa Rica.
After looking for the concurrence of all of the nations in the world, through their representative governments, the Parliament counts with 400 senators, 800 deputies, ambassadors and ministers, who contribute, like their President and General Secretary, with their volunteer work, to the cause of peace.
The work of the delegates and ministers of the ISPSP towards peace and enforcement of the respect for life and human rights includes rendering help and support to all of the people of the world, observing the right of safety and peace in alI aspects: moral, political, diplomatic, cultural, religious, economic and social. This is free to the governments. ISPSP organizes commissions to send to the country in need, with the participation of volunteer ministers and parlamentary diplomats, who travel and work free of charge in order to resolve conflicts and help to re-establish security and peace. Following the re-establishment of safety and peace, Lord Viktor Busa gives, as incentive, Peace Trophies to the head of the places or countries where the commission worked.
The work of the agents of the ISPSP is paying off with good results in many places. Once a year, there is a congress of the ISPSP, where Delegates present their reports. Victorious interventions have been worked out and reported from the Diplomatic Crisis between Turkey and Chipre; the crisis between Somalia and Ethiopia; between Iran and Irak, Equador and Peru, and the conflict in Uganda. The ISPSP also has made a contribution of diplomatic intervention in wars of several countries and places, as in the Middle East, in the civil war in Sri Lanka, in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda, Congo, Angola and Mozambique. There are diplomats from the ISPSP working in South Africa, Moldavia, Russia and Chechynia. In support of the United Nations, Lord Busa and the ISPSP have participated in the Conferences of Addis, Ababa and Vienna.
As observers, the ISPSP has sent parlamentaries to the general elections En Congo. The democratization of the Republic of Congo started in 1990. In this process, Lord Viktor Busa cooperated with the Congolese government in order to give the people assurance of security and to admit the need for immediate peace. ISPSP organized a local sub-division with several Congolese members of different categories, notable jurists, high functionaries, ministries, etc. to negociate peace with agressors from the borders of DRC. When the aggression intensifed, Lord Busa himself organized a series of international conferences, in order to gather international support. This contributed to the acceleration of the United Nation's resolution in sending in the "blue helmets" and in assisting in the reconstruction of the nation. There are evidences of recognition of the authorities of several countries, who send to Lord Busa their letters, memoranda, and other tokens of their gratitude for the Parliament services.
In 1985, Lord Viktor Busa personally got involved with the creation of the World Organization of the Indigenous and Aborigenous Peoples. There are several ministers of the ISPSP working now at the front of the Andean Movement for re-culture of the Inca countries. The movement started in Arequipa, Peru and in Cusco, where several ISPSP volunteer diplomats are working directly with the Inca natives in order to achieve a new interpretation of the past history of Perù, including the Inca past on it. It is a wonderful movement with the creation of schools, workshops, festivals, etc. It is easy to see how volunteer work can achieve things which governmental paid organizations are not able to achieve.

: "" The Commonwealth is an association of sovereign nations which support each other and work together towards international goals. It is also a 'family' of peoples. With their common heritage in language, culture, law, education and democratic traditions, among other things, Commonwealth countries are able to work together in an atmosphere of greater trust and understanding than generally prevails among nations. At the start of 2007, there were 53 member countries in the Commonwealth.
However, the Commonwealth has no formal constitutional structure. It works from understood procedures, traditions, and periodic statements of belief or commitment to action. Intergovernmental consultation is its main source of direction, enabling member governments to collaborate to influence world events, and setting up programmes carried out bilaterally or by the Commonwealth Secretariat, the association's main executive agency. The most widely-used definition of the Commonwealth is taken from the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, 1971:
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states ... consulting and cooperating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace. "

13-1. World's Poor:-------------------------
'The Militarization of the World's Urban Peripheries' Raúl Zibechi | Feb9,2007: Americas Policy Program Special Report: Americas Policy Program, Center for International Policy (CIP) americas.irc-online.org: http://tinyurl.com/World-sPoor
: Translated from: La militarización de las periferias urbanas, Translated by: Maria Roof:
: "" Urban peripheries in Third World countries have become war zones where states attempt to maintain order based on the establishment of a sort of "sanitary cordon" to keep the poor isolated from "normal" society.
"Army sources confirmed that techniques employed in the occupation of the Morro da Providéncia favela [slum] are the ones Brazilian soldiers use in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti."1
This admission by Brazilian armed forces largely explains the interest of Lula da Silva's government in keeping that country's troops on the Caribbean island: to test, in the poor neighborhoods of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, containment strategies designed for application in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and other large cities. "
... ...
" Urban Poor as a Threat
Urban theorist Mike Davis analyzes urban peripheral areas in terms of a commitment to social change. A single sentence synthesizes his analysis: "It's the slum peripheries of poor Third World cities that have become a decisive geopolitical space."2 He asserts that Pentagon strategists are lending great importance to urban planning theory and architecture, since the peripheries are "one of the most challenging terrains for future wars and other imperialist projects."
In fact, a study by the United Nations estimates that one billion people live in peripheral neighborhoods outside Third World cities and that the poor in the largest cities in the world number some two billion, that is, a third of all human beings. These statistics will double within the next 15 or 20 years, and "all future growth of the world's population will occur in cities, 95% of it in cities of the Global South and the majority in slums."3
In fact, a study by the United Nations estimates that one billion people live in peripheral neighborhoods outside Third World cities and that the poor in the largest cities in the world number some two billion, that is, a third of all human beings. These statistics will double within the next 15 or 20 years, and "all future growth of the world's population will occur in cities, 95% of it in cities of the Global South and the majority in slums."3
The situation is much more serious than the numbers indicate: urbanization, as Davis explains, has become disconnected and autonomous from industrialization as well as from economic development, which implies the "structural and permanent disconnection of so many city dwellers from the formal world economy." On the other hand, he notes that, "over the last decade ... the poor—and not just the poor in classical urban neighborhoods [with high levels of organization]—but ... this new poor, on the fringes of the city, have begun organizing themselves massively ... whether that's Sadr, in Iraq, or an equivalent slum-based social movement in Buenos Aires."4
In Latin America the main challenges to elite domination have arisen in the heart of poor urban areas—from the 1989 "Caracazo" riots to the Oaxaca Commune in 2006. Proof of this are the popular uprisings in Asunción in March 1999, Quito in February 1997 and January 2000, Lima and Cochabamba in April 2000, Buenos Aires in February 2003, and El Alto in October 2003, just to name the most relevant cases.
Even more, urban peripheries are spaces from which subaltern groups have launched the most formidable challenges to the system, becoming a sort of popular counter-powers. Davis is right: control of the urban poor is the most important objective planned by governments, global financial organisms, and the armed forces of the most important countries.
Many large Latin American cities seem to border at times on social explosion, and several have erupted over the past two decades for various reasons. Fear among the powerful appears to point in two directions: postpone or make unviable the explosion or insurrection, and, also, avoid the consolidation of those "black holes" outside state control, where the main challenges to the elites occur. "
... ...
" In his reflection on Nazism in "On the Concept of History," German writer Walter Benjamin declared that "the tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the state of exception in which we live is the rule." United States policy since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, fits the concept of a "state of permanent exception." The "state of exception," which suspends civil rights and militarizes areas and complete nations, is applied in an indiscriminate way to different situations and for different reasons, from internal political problems to external threats, from an economic emergency to a natural disaster.
In effect, the state of exception was applied in situations such as the Argentine economic-financial crisis that burst into a broad social movement in December 2001, the response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and the containment of the rebellion by poor immigrants in the peripheries of French cities in 2005. The common thread, beyond circumstances and countries, is that in every case it is applied in order to contain the urban poor.

馬政府的司法不公，已經讓馬英九哈佛大學的老師孔傑榮看不下去，主動投書媒體批評!孔傑榮說，藍綠都有人遭起訴，但是有些明顯不法的國民黨人士卻被忽略!這樣的說法，讓同樣身為孔傑榮學生的，前副總統呂秀蓮感同身受，痛批台灣現在的人權法制已經倒退。5年前，當時的副總統的呂秀蓮，在總統府內宴請哈佛恩師孔傑榮，同樣是孔傑榮學生的馬英九也來了!師生看起來一片和樂融融，但是五年過去，馬英九從市長變成總統，老師對他的評價也打了折扣，因為孔傑榮，以「陳雲林炫風颳人權問題」為題投書媒體。
開頭就說，陳雲林來台期間，警方禁止群眾，亮出台灣旗幟和西藏旗幟，還要求唱片行拉鐵門，已經逾越自由社會的界限，接著讓他憂心的是台灣的司法，為什麼民進黨和國民黨，雙方都有人遭到起訴，但是有些明顯不法的國民黨人士，卻被忽略了，看到陳前總統被收押，孔傑榮也認為，收押嫌犯的標準應該更嚴謹，甚至連檢察官對外放消息的行為，也是民主制度不被容許的。
身為國際知名的人權教授，孔傑榮不忍看到台灣人權，一再被打壓，想要跳出來批馬英九的，還有學姐呂秀蓮!痛批台灣人權法制倒退，因為檢調辦案有顏色之分。
馬英九是讀法的，又當過法務部長，有些事不可能不知道，但是如果忘記，學姐老師都一再提醒，總該想起來了吧! ""

'深切關心中國特使陳雲林訪問期間拘捕與攻擊和平抗議的公民' 蘇哈，貝爾哈生
'Deep concern regarding the detention and attacks against citizens protesting peacefully during the visit of Chinese envoy Mr. CHEN Yunlin' Souhayr Belhassen
公開信給 Open letter to
馬英九總統 President Ma Ying-jeou
劉兆玄行政院長 Premier Liu Chao-hsuan
中華民國 – 台灣 Republic of China – Taiwan]
閣下們： Your Excellencies,
國際人權聯盟(FIDH)寫信給你們，是要表達深切關心有關中國特使陳雲林訪問期間拘捕與攻擊和平抗議的公民。FIDH相信，以國家安全作藉口所行的這些拘捕與暴行是嚴重違反人權。
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) is writing to you to express its deep concern regarding the detention and attacks against citizens protesting peacefully during the visit of Chinese envoy Mr. CHEN Yunlin. FIDH believes that such arrests and violence are grave violations of human rights, under the pretext of national security.
依據收到的資料，自11月3日起，台北市被7,000多名警察密集佔據。當局使出猛烈的措施，包括沒收與毀壞私有財產、侵犯與攻擊太靠近限制區或模糊限制區的人士，以武力清除社區公路、任意搜索與逮捕、和限制公民行動自由。這些行動在陳先生訪問期間，以保護安全的名義，都用上了。
According to the information received, since November 3rd, 2008, the city of Taipei has been heavily occupied by more than 7,000 police officers. The authorities have taken many drastic measures, including: confiscating and damaging private property, harassing and assaulting people who came too close to undefined or vaguely defined areas, clearing communal highway lanes with force, conducting random searches and arrests, and restricting the freedom of movement of citizens. These actions have been taken during Mr. CHEN's visit, in the name of protecting security.
然而，我們害怕實際上這些侵犯是要鎮壓公民的言論自由權。為了使公家暴力得逞，也進行史無前例的限制，明顯超過保護安全所需的範圍。例如，公民被限制展示或攜帶台灣國旗、被禁止宣稱「台灣不是中國的一部分、被禁止攜帶攝影器具、以及不得播送當局認為不適宜的音樂。
However, we fear these aggressions in fact aim at suppressing the right to freedom of expression of citizens. To supplement this violence, there are also unprecedented restrictions which clearly overpass the limits of ensuring security. For example, citizens have been restricted from displaying or carrying the national flag of Taiwan, forbidden to declare that "Taiwan is not part of China", forbidden from carrying filming devices, and restricted from playing any music the authorities consider inappropriate.
這些措施似乎要壓制政治意見而不是要保護安全，結果是它們大剌剌地違反台灣憲法，尤其是第11與14條規定的保護言論自由與國際人權標準。因此，FIDH要求，受到憲法與國家法律制約的國家警察局與國家安全局必須為他們違反司法職權被繩以責任。司法院與監察院必須馬上針對所有違反人權的指責進行獨立暨公正的調查，並且究責所有怠忽公務與法律職責的公務人員，以期和監察院最近的發佈一致 (恐翻譯的發佈內容不及原文悅耳動聽，我也懶得去找原文，請自行參考監察院的官文)。犯下上述違法的人員，特別是國家警察局與國家安全局的人員，必須被繩以責任，以期和台灣憲法第24條一致(請自行翻閱台灣憲法第24條)。
These measures seem to be aimed at silencing political opinions rather than protecting security, and thus they blatantly violate the Constitution of Taiwan, notably Articles 11 and 14 which protect freedom of expression and international human rights standards. Consequently, FIDH requests that the National Police Agency and National Security Bureau, bound by the Constitution and the national legislation, should be held responsible for violating their legal obligations. The Judicial Yuan and Control Yuan should immediately conduct independent and impartial investigations into all allegations of human rights violations and hold all personnel in office accountable for neglecting their civil and legal obligations, in line with the Judicial Yuan's recent statement that "it is very important to form an objective and solid review standard, and make the constitutional reviews more predictable and trust-worthy to people". Those who perpetrated these violations, particularly in the National Police Agency and National Security Bureau, must be held accountable, in accordance with Article 24 of the Constitution of Taiwan, which stipulates that "Any public employee who, in violation of law, infringes upon the freedom or right of any person shall, in addition to being subject to disciplinary punishment in accordance with law, be liable to criminal and civil action. The victim may, in accordance with law, claim damages from the State for any injury sustained therefrom."
更廣泛而言，FIDH請求政府要修改集會遊行法，特別是要廢除強制許可的規定，採納以自願為基礎的制度以及有關特別禁制區的條文，因為後者給予當局過多的裁量權來限制人民的集會與言論自由權。此外，當局必須廢除具有解散的命令以及特別刑事懲罰的條款，這是戒嚴法時代的殘餘物。最後，台灣必須建立執法人員必須把自己身份明確告知當事人的機制，以保證合法與負責。
More generally, FIDH calls upon the government to amend the Parade and Assembly Law, in particular : to abolish the requirement for mandatory permits and adopt the system of voluntary basis and the clause on special area of restriction, which gives too much discretion to the authority to restrict people's freedom of association and freedom of expression. In addition the authorities should abolish the order to dismiss as well as the provisions on special criminal punishment, which is a legacy of the martial law era. Finally, Taiwan should establish the protocol for law enforcement personnel who should have the obligation to clearly announce his or her identity when on duty, to ensure legitimacy and accountability.
閣下們， Your Excellencies,
我們的組織堅定相信，台灣發光的民主化果實對整個亞洲大陸有標竿的意義。我們因此對台灣人權令人驚訝的退化表示嚴重的關切，而且我們把它當作逐漸毀壞台灣立國之基的民主與人權價值的負面趨勢之訊號。希望你們考慮以上提出的關切。我靜候閣下們的佳音。
Our Organization firmly believes that the fruit of Taiwan's remarkable democratization has landmark significance to the Asian continent as a whole. We therefore express our serious concern over the alarming human rights degradation in Taiwan, and we do take it as a signal of a negative trend undermining the values of democracy and human rights on which Taiwan should be based. Hoping that you will take into consideration the above mentioned concerns, I remain,
敬祝政躬康泰 Yours sincerely,
蘇哈，貝爾哈生 Souhayr Belhassen ""

: "" Freedom House urges Taiwan's government to create an independent commission
to thoroughly investigate clashes between police and activists protesting
Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin's historic visit and recommend needed reforms.
"A public investigation of the violence which involved both sides will send
a critical message that the new government of President Ma Ying-jeou is
interested in upholding the democratic values of transparency and accountability,
" said Jennifer Windsor, Freedom House executive director. "The inquiry
should examine evidence on both sides and recommend any needed reforms to
police practices and the legal framework governing demonstrations."
Hundreds of university students are currently staging a sit-in in Taipei's
Freedom Square and several other cities to protest the government's handling
of the incident. During Chen’s visit, police reportedly used heavy-handed
tactics including physical assault, arbitrary detention and destruction
of property to prevent Chen from seeing symbols of Taiwanese or Tibetan
independence, as well as broader demonstrations against the Chinese regime.
(趙紫龍譯﹕數百大學生在台北自由廣場及其他城市抗議政府在陳雲林訪台時﹐警察
為不讓陳看見台灣及藏獨標誌以及廣泛的反中國政權示威﹐使用強勢做法﹐包括﹕
人身攻擊﹑任意拘留﹑毀壞物品。). Demonstrators also employed violence against police, throwing rocks and petrol bombs outside Chen's hotel on November 6.
The clashes reveal a need for police to undergo crowd control training that
adheres to the standards used in other democracies.(趙紫龍譯﹕這衝突顯示警察需要學習如何以其他民主國家的標準來控制民眾。) Likewise, demonstrators
and political advocacy groups must recommit themselves to orderly protests
that avoid violence under any circumstances.
The inquiry commission should examine controversial passages in Taiwan's
Assembly and Parade Law, such as restrictions on where people are allowed
to demonstrate, and determine whether they need to be liberalized to protect
citizens' rights to freedom of expression and assembly. The commission should also investigate claims that police are selectively enforcing the law.
The visit by Chen and the recent arrests of several opposition party figures
are raising concerns that that President Ma and his Kuomintang Party may
rollback democratic freedoms.(趙紫龍譯﹕陳雲林事件及最近逮捕反對黨人物已令人耽心馬總統及他的國民黨可能在減少民主應有的各項自由)
"The government must renew its commitment to tolerating robust freedom of
assembly and peaceful protest, no matter what the cause(趙紫龍譯﹕政府(指馬政府)必須重新落實其允許正常的自由集會及和平示威不論訴求為何的承諾)" said Windsor.

House's survey of political rights and civil liberties, and in the 2008
version of Freedom of the Press.

This is a severe contravention of the writ of habeas corpus and a basic violation of due process, justice and the rule of law.
我們認為檢察官所採取的法律程序有著嚴重的缺失：雖然當一、兩位被指控者已被正式起訴時，大多數被指控者卻在未被正式起訴情況之下就遭到收押禁見。這嚴重違反了人身保護令以及正當法律程序、公義與法治。
In the meantime, the prosecutor\'s offices evidently leak detrimental information to the press. This kind of "trial by press" is a violation of the basic standards of judicial procedures.

二十多名美國專家學者對台灣司法倒退寫第二封公開信
-------------------------------------------
美專家又致函台法務部質疑貪瀆案
VOA記者： 張佩芝 華盛頓 2008年12月3日
: "" 包括前美國在台協會理事主席白樂崎在內的二十多名美國專家學者星期二聯名寫第二封公開信給台灣法務部，對台灣司法單位近來對多名前民進党官員貪瀆案的偵辦過程與做法提出質疑。在此之前，這些專家學者在第一封公開信中表達了對台灣司法倒退的擔憂。
包括前美國在台協會理事主席白樂崎(Nat Bellocchi)在內的二十多名美國專家學者星期二再次聯合致函台灣法務部長王清峰，表達對最近台灣司法倒退的擔憂。
兩個星期前，白樂崎等人聯名寫信給台灣法務部，敦促台灣司法單位在偵辦前台灣內政部長余政憲、前外交部長陳唐山、嘉義縣長陳明文、前國安會秘書長邱義仁、云林縣長蘇治芬等7人可能涉及的貪腐案件時，能确保檢察官對外獨立性、實行無罪推定、遵守偵查不公開、落實公開審判等原則。 這些被調查的人當中許多都是陳水扁執政時期的民進党高層官員。
*台法務部作出回應*
台灣法務部在11月24號回應這封信時表示，檢察官對于政府官員貪腐行為都有追查義務，不受任何幹涉。台灣法務部說，白樂崎等人的信函表示檢察官追查對象似乎選擇性針對陳水扁執政時期的官員，但是貪瀆犯罪本來就是以執政官員為追查對象，在野者並未任官，檢查官也無從查起，並沒有選擇性辦案的問題。法務部的聲明還說，關于羈押制度，為了防止被告逃亡和保全證據，台灣法律定有嚴格的羈押要見，並不違反公義和法治的要求。
*六點質疑*
針對台灣法務部的聲明，白樂崎等人在12月2號刊登于台北時報的公開信中對台灣法務部長王清峰的迅速回應表示感謝，不過仍對法務部的說明提出六大點質疑。白樂崎等人認為，為了防止嫌疑人潛逃而采取預防性羈押的做法很明顯只能使用于罪行嚴重，嫌疑人可能會潛逃的情況下；然而在過去几個星期，這種預防性羈押的做法被廣泛使用，而且只用于現任或前任民進党官員身上，讓人怀疑台灣司法系統的公正性。 另外，台灣法務部表示，台灣的司法系統沒有受到政治操縱的影響，那么白樂崎等人也質疑，為什么在過去几個星期，只有民進党官員受到羈押，而且遭受不人道的待遇，包括被戴上手銬並遭到冗長的偵訊，而有明顯貪腐行為的國民党員的貪瀆案卻在司法過程中停滯不前，甚至沒有遭到起訴。
*白樂崎：望台灣維持民主*
前美國在台協會理事主席白樂崎在接受美國之音采訪時表示，在這封信上簽名的學者盡管對某些情況有自己不同看法，但是他們認為，台灣法務部做出的聲明中很多陳述都是令人質疑的，因此第二封信是對法務部的說法做出回應。
白樂崎說：“台灣是一個民主體制，我們希望台灣能維持這個體制，但是現在很多人對目前情況感到擔憂，我們都希望台灣能持續施行民主，但是現在發生的一些事情並不是朝那個方向走。”
參與這封連署信的美國專家學者除了白樂崎之外還包括前美國副總統辦公室亞洲安全顧問葉望輝(Stephen Yates)、傳統基金會高級研究員譚慎格 (John Tkacik), 賓州大學教授林蔚(Arthur Waldron)、邁阿密大學教授金德芳(June Dreyer)等知名學者。

白樂崎等二十名國外學者對台灣司法腐化提出第一封公開信
Open letter on erosion of justice in Taiwan
公開信 論台灣司法遭到侵蝕
Thursday, Nov 06, 2008
2008年11月6日
The undersigned, scholars and writers from the US, Europe and Australia, wish to express their deep concern about the recent series of detentions in Taiwan of present and former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government officials. To date there have been at least seven such cases.
以下來自美國、歐洲及澳洲，具名於下的學者、作家們，盼望針對台灣近來一連串現任或前任民進黨籍官員遭收押的案件（截至目前，已經有至少七個這樣的例子！），傳達他們深切的關注！
It is obvious that there have been cases of corruption in Taiwan, but these have occurred in both political camps. The political neutrality of the judicial system is an essential element in a democracy. It is also essential that any accused are considered innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.
自然，台灣是有貪汙的狀況，但這樣的狀況，在國、民兩黨皆都存在著。而司法系統的政治中立，則是民主能否持續的基本要素。同時，在法庭證明其罪行成立前，任何被告應被無罪推定，這也是基本的法理原則！
We also believe that the procedures followed by the prosecutor’s offices are severely flawed: while one or two of the accused have been formally charged, the majority is being held incommunicado without being charged. This is a severe contravention of the writ of habeas corpus and a basic violation of due process, justice and the rule of law.
我們並認為，檢察官們以下的作法模式有嚴重的缺陷：那些被告中只有一個或兩個是被正式起訴，其餘卻是在未起訴情形下就被拘押囚禁。這樣的作法已嚴重違反了司法的程序正義和人身保護令狀的法律規定。
In the meantime, the prosecutor’s offices evidently leak detrimental information to the press. This kind of “trial by press” is a violation of the basic standards of judicial procedures. It also gives the distinct impression that the Kuomintang (KMT) authorities are using the judicial system to get even with members of the former DPP government.
與此同時，檢察官辦公室顯然又選擇性地將不利的資訊洩露給新聞界。這樣的運用「新聞審判」手法，是違反了司法程序上的基本準則。也因此，不得不讓人產生了「國民黨政府正運用司法系統來清算前民進黨政府成員」的印象。
In addition, the people who are being held incommunicado are of course unable to defend themselves against the misreporting and the leaks in the news media.
另外，被告由於遭收押囚禁，自然便無法針對種種的誤報與「新聞審判」進行說明與自清。
We do firmly believe that any alleged wrongdoings must be dealt with in a fair and open manner in an impartial court. Justice through the rule of law is essential to Taiwan’s efforts to consolidate democracy and protect fundamental human rights.
我們堅信，任何被指控的不法行為必須是在一個中立的法庭裡，以一種公正和公開的方式被處理。遵循法律規範的司法，對台灣在鞏固民主和保護基本人權的努力上，是不可或缺的基本要件。
We do not want to see Taiwan’s hard-earned democracy jeopardized in this manner. Taiwan can justifiably be proud of its transition to democracy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It would be sad for Taiwan and detrimental to its international image if the progress which was made during the past 20 years would be erased. Taiwan needs to move forward, not backwards to the unfair and unjust procedures as practiced during the dark days of Martial Law (1947-1987).
我們不願見到台灣得來不易的民主就這樣被毀壞。台灣是有資格為其在1980年代末期至1990年代初期的民主轉變感到驕傲。然過去20年在民主上的進展，若就這樣被一筆消去，這對台灣不但將會是悲哀，也將損害到其國際形象。台灣需要向前邁進，而不是倒退回戒嚴令時期（1947∼1987年）那一段司法程序不公平和不正義的黑暗日子。

1. "ChROP's" Rape of Taiwan's Democracy:----
1-4. '台美人社團聯合聲明 籲台灣司法守程序正義' [Taiwanese.Americans] [台灣海外網 Taiwanus.net, Nov16,08: 中央社 更新日期: Nov17,08 http://tinyurl.com/5axm6s
: "" （中央社記者林芥佑華盛頓十六日專電）三十一個旅美台灣人團體發表聲明，對台灣檢調單位偵辦前總統陳水扁家族海外金錢案的過程表達關切，這些社團呼籲，台灣司法應謹守公平、公正與正當程序，莫成為當權者打擊異己的政治工具。
由全美台灣同鄉會發起的這項連署聲明，包括台灣人公共事務會 (FAPA )在內，共有美國各地三十一個社團參與，這些台美人認為，負責偵辦陳前總統相關案件的特偵組並未提出確鑿証據，卻以手銬扣押一位卸任總統，對司法如此濫權，罔顧人權與程序正義，全美台灣同鄉會成員至感憤怒，要表示最強烈的抗議。
全美台灣同鄉會會長謝榮峻表示，台美人社團原以為台灣司法能以正當法律程序，依証據公正調查及審理陳水扁家族的海外鉅額資金問題，但特偵組的作為，卻公然棄置「無罪推定」的最重要司法原則於不顧，先作有罪定論，再到處找証據，無事証則押人取供，濫用「自由心証」，為達鏟除陳水扁和其他民進黨人士之目的，不擇手段。
謝榮峻說，台美人社團認為，在李登輝及陳水扁兩位本土政權執政之後，台灣司法逐漸走向獨立與公正，但馬英九上任後不及半年，其政權大舉調查、扣押、起訴現任或前民進黨官員的行動，已形成一個固定模式，令人質疑這個復辟政權正有計畫的以司法之名，進行對本土政治領袖的絕滅政策。
因此全美台灣同鄉會發起這項連署聲明，提出三項訴求：一、要求台灣司法回歸公正、公平、符合正當程序並嚴守無罪推定的原則，不能將司法作為打壓異己的政治工具。二、要求台灣人民認清馬政府不重人權的本質和以司法之名鏟除異己的白色恐怖的行為，向馬政權嚴正抗議，並嚴加監督。三、呼籲國際社會，特別是美國政府與國會議員，對馬政權罔顧人權提出嚴正警告。971116 ""

: "" 陳雲林來台那天，電影《一八九五》有個試映會，大家都哭了。 " ... ...
" 試映會是台北水噹噹姊妹聯盟包的場。銀幕上北白川宮能久親王率近衛師團登陸
時，大家都憂心忡忡。心情隨著劇情起伏。看到苗栗義軍吳湯興、姜紹祖等以刀劍火銃
對抗配備精良的日軍，都替他們擔心。聽說那個「仍奉正朔，遙作屏藩」的台灣民主國
總統唐景崧竟然不戰而逃，都氣憤填膺。最後看到姜紹祖服毒自盡、吳湯興殉難，眼淚
就都擋不住了。
許多當晚要去嗆陳的觀眾，都穿著「反對賣台」的T恤來。大家的眼淚裡，有著太
多的聯想。陳雲林不就是來接收的能久親王嗎？誰是奉中國為正朔，棄台灣如草芥的唐
景崧？如果不讓歷史重演，我們就需要更多奮起抵抗的吳湯興、姜紹祖。觀眾之哭，是
為他們「保衛家園」的高貴情操而百感交集。 "

" 反抗外侮，保衛家園。1895年時的對象是日本，2008年的對象已非日本，而是中

3-5. '《一八九五》的烈士與豎子---論「抗日？殺同胞？吳湯興史實翻案」' 自由電子報 Liberty Times: 自由廣場: 李筱峰專欄, Nov30,08: http://tinyurl.com/6qtsex
: "" 過去國民黨的教育每談到一八九五年台灣的抗日，都只著重唐景崧、丘逢甲、劉永福。然而這些人的「抗日」，禁不起歷史檢驗。唐景崧幹了十天的「台灣民主國」總統，日軍還在基隆，他就跑了；丘逢甲的抗日始終只是紙上功夫，說什麼「桑梓之地，義與存亡」，實則不曾打過一兵一卒一彈一砲，就捲走軍餉十萬銀兩潛逃了；劉永福也在主力部隊還未和日軍交戰，就抱著心愛的小狗從安平開溜了。最荒唐的是，唐景崧找來的一堆廣勇（廣東兵），駐守在北部，軍紀敗壞，擾民有加，抗日無能，最後官兵還變成盜賊！
真正投身抗日的，如吳湯興、徐驤、姜紹祖，率苗栗、新竹的客家子弟兵奮勇抗敵，捐軀成仁，卻因過去課本少提而不為人知。兩年前我有感於此，特在本專欄發表〈烈士與豎子〉一文，將吳湯興與丘逢甲等人對比。我不禁想起連橫在《台灣通史》論丘逢甲時，將吳湯興拿來比對的一句話—「成敗論人，吾所不喜。獨惜其為吳湯興、徐驤所笑爾」。
最近以吳湯興為主軸的電影《一八九五》，雖未能淋漓表達李喬原著的內涵，但已可讓國人對吳湯興的印象有了初步輪廓，值得嘉許。
然而電影《一八九五》推出之際，中國時報卻出現以「抗日？殺同胞？吳湯興史實翻案」為標題的新聞，指出吳湯興的部下劫殺廣東籍傭兵「河南勇」。報導中引述台灣文獻館林文龍研究員的訪談，指出原要號召民兵北上抗日的吳湯興等人，見到河南勇身上帶著金帛，要求留下財物，河南勇開槍拒絕，吳、姜的民兵遂殺死數百名河南勇。報導中說他們「殺死同胞的人數，可能遠超過日軍」。（11/21中時）
吳湯興真的帶兵「殺同胞」嗎？記得吳湯興號召民眾抗日時，曾發布告示，其中說：「望眾志戮力同心，一團和氣，不可互相戕殺…如有倚強欺弱，妄殺無辜，或肆行擄掠，糾黨劫財，定按軍法嚴辦。」如此申明軍紀的吳湯興，竟落得「殺同胞」的惡名？
原來吳湯興民兵所殺的「同胞」，就是我前述駐在台北的那批「官兵變盜賊」的廣東兵（所謂河南勇，係指廣東珠江流域之南的「河南營」訓練出來的傭兵）。那批「河南勇」趁唐景崧逃走之後，焚衙署，搶庫藏，往中、南部逃竄。
這是一支怎樣的軍隊？試看目睹當時情景的美國記者Davidson對他們的描述：「亂七八糟，毫無秩序。他們穿紅制服，暴躁慌張，大聲喧嚷，且有惡臭…」「軍官們已不能約束士兵…華兵互相吵鬧，殺害軍官，勒索搶劫…」請問這是哪一國的「同胞」？
再看看這些「同胞」在唐景崧潛逃後的行徑。Davidson這樣報導：「總統似乎送了五萬圓給自己的衛隊，以求逃出衙門。消息傳開後，其他兵士也來要求分錢，發現總統已經走了，就火燒總統府洩憤。…這樣一來，秩序大亂，暴徒們吵鬧放槍，在各處搶劫…兵工廠被打開了，附近街上擁擠著搶劫者，廠裡一切東西，無論槍砲…凡可移動者，無不搬走。…一尊小型克魯伯後膛砲，可用一兩塊錢買到。數千華兵不再打仗，而做起更有利的買賣。他們以幾角錢廉價賣槍，而把舊式步槍丟在城外的稻田中…。」
這些官兵變成強盜，流竄到中部，被我們抗日民兵殺了，活該！

: "" 台塑集團創辦人王永慶15日在美辭世，社會各界一面倒以「經營之神」歌頌王永慶創下的典範，然而，環保團體昨（23）日召開座談會，一方面公開向王永慶家屬致哀，一方面也希望從台塑六輕對在地居民的衝擊、台塑獲利背後的環境成本與稅賦的公平性等層面，理性探討「台灣付出多少代價成就王永慶典範？」
台灣綠黨秘書長潘翰聲強調，召開這次最座談會的目的，是看到王永慶過世後，主流媒體呈現一言堂，將王永慶神格化，卻未探討台塑集團50多年來壯大的過程中，政府如何扶植台塑，就水、電、稅金、土地予以補貼，以及台塑集團如何透過捐贈來避稅。另外，台塑集團的二氧化碳排放量佔台灣1/4強，六輕建廠對雲林沿海數千養殖業者所受到的衝擊、雲林有了六輕後的困境，也都欠缺反省的聲音。 "

'《台灣老百姓的覺醒》: 「野草莓運動」' 宋泉盛, [福爾摩莎 創值社]: 台灣海外網 Taiwanus.net, Nov27,08: http://tinyurl.com/5ehx8r
: "" 台灣落葉知秋的季節已過﹐雖然還沒有到寒風刺骨的時候﹐涼爽宜人的季節已經到來。在炎熱天氣之下的機車騎士不再橫衝直撞地蠻駛﹐道路上的行人不再滿身大汗﹐ 埋怨太陽那麼不留情。所有的生靈都吐了一口氣﹐忘記炎熱的天氣帶來的抑鬱與焦慮﹐魔術般地笑逐顏開。跟這變化成強烈對比的﹐是政治情勢的每況愈下﹐在中國國民黨的馬集團執政之下﹐乖戾之氣愈來愈瀰漫全國﹐已經到了台灣人民的政治命運早不保夕的危機狀態。這絕非聳人聽聞之言。在外呼內應齊頭並進之下﹐中國國民黨與共產中國聯手﹐快馬加鞭地拉緊套在台灣人民脖子上的繩子﹐直到斷氣為止。怎樣掙脫這致命的套繩贏得生機是台灣人民燃眉之急。
在這攸關台灣人民存活的時刻﹐大學生自動自發﹑遍地開花的「野草莓運動」給台灣人民掀起一股新的力量﹐打了一針強心劑。看了在風雨交加中靜坐的學生實在令人肅然起敬﹐讓我們重新點燃希望的火炬﹐相信最後的勝利是我們台灣人民的。「野草莓學生運動」的話訴求很簡單。學生要求
1. 保障「人權」﹑譴責「暴力」
2. 修改〈集會遊行法〉
3. 訂定修法時程表
馬團隊嗤之以鼻﹐不睬不理﹐一會兒教訓學生讀書要緊﹐一會兒預言「野草莓運動」不到兩三天就會無疾而終。但是﹐這學生運動已經持續兩個多禮拜﹐並且普及到台灣許多地方。
台中有一個廣場叫做「市民廣場」。台灣中部的「野草莓學生運動」就在那廣場夜以繼日地舉行。在寒風吹襲的一個傍晚與學生靜坐時﹐前來聲援的幾位奧吉桑﹑奧巴桑在那裡毫無忌諱地把壓抑在心裡的鬱卒一吐為快﹐交換他們的苦經。他們的聲音自然而然傳入靜坐者的耳朵和心竅裡﹐令人感觸很多。現在將所聽到的「老百姓的心聲」擇要紀錄於下﹐與讀者分享。
老百姓（甲）你看這些學生﹐多懂事﹑多「可取」（kh chhu),實在令人感 動。我們的香火終於可以傳到後代了﹗
老百姓（乙）這個無能政府弄得全國雞犬不寧﹐連學生也看不過去。
老百姓（丙）馬英九的國民黨政府都是騙人的,難怪馬的支持度一直下降﹐現在已經不到三成。大多數的台灣人不是覺醒了嗎﹖
老百姓（甲）我是退休的公務員﹐享受18啪的既得利益者。可是﹐共產黨一來﹐那18啪馬上就沒有了﹐連一塊錢也領不到了。台灣的主權比18啪要緊。
老百姓（丙）我沒有你那麼幸運﹐我沒有18啪。但阿共來了﹐你我不都是一樣﹖都是阿共「喝起喝倒」的奴隸。
老百姓（乙）﹕這都是我們的錯。我們的眼睛都是「龍眼目」。我們認賊作父﹐選錯了人。我們生活痛苦﹑阿共要來併吞台灣﹐現在知道﹐這都是馬英九上台後的「德政」。他要台灣亂得不能再亂﹐好讓阿共來收拾我們台灣人。
這個時候﹐一個坐在輪椅的中年老百姓加入發牢騷的行列。他「比手畫刀」﹐很激動地插嘴﹐說﹕
坐輪椅的老百姓﹕ 對﹗這都是馬英九帶來的禍。我們怎麼可以讓他繼續這樣「黑白做」下去﹖台灣快被他玩死了。我們總要想個辦法﹗
老百姓（甲）你們知道他是哪裡人嗎﹖
大家開始猜。有人說他是香港人﹐有人說他是台灣人。
做輪椅的老百姓: 你們都不對。他是中國的湖南人。他是中國人﹗
於是﹐這些老百姓異口同聲地說﹕原來他是中國人﹐難怪他看不起我們台灣人﹐要阿共來統治台灣。我們不佔出來怎麼行﹗
台灣自由﹑民主﹑主權的道路是一條坎坷不平的道路﹐還有很多阻礙物擋在我們面前。馬先生可以動用警察暴力人民﹐在民主的台灣倒行逆施﹐恐怖人民。但是﹐許多台灣的老百姓覺醒了﹗難道一千萬覺醒的老百姓不能扭轉台灣的乾坤嗎﹖我不相信﹗（2008/11/21) ""

不要連我們一起出售
我們有屬於我們的夢

灰燼裡我們選擇出走
安靜不代表認同
和平不代表承受
你的傲慢再一次燙傷了我

2-4-3. 'Taiwan Wild Strawberries Movement Fights for Human Rights and Democracy'
http://tinyurl.com/StrawberryPetition Dec10,08 copied.
: "" View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: ALL WHO SUPPORT HUMAN RIGHTS & DEMOCRACY
Since 6th November 2008, students in Taiwan have launched a sit-in movement against the "Parade and Assembly Law" which contradicts the Constitution Law. The movement fights for the human rights and the democracy in Taiwan.
*****************************************************************************
Starting on November 3, with the visit of representatives from China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) to sign various agreements with our government , police officers have engaged in numerous abusive acts against peaceful protesters from various dissenting groups, under the guise of "keeping the peace". These acts have included arbitrary searches and prohibitions, seizure and destruction of property, physical assault, dispersion, and even arrest and detention. The vast majority of the victims of this police brutality were nowhere near ARATS Chairman Chen Yunlin, and were simply passing, standing, or photographing various areas when they were victimized.
Through reports in the media, we have come to realize the seriousness of the current situation. It is no longer a technical question of excessive law enforcement tactics, nor is it simply a partisan issue between supporters of various political parties. This is a proliferation of state sponsored violence that is provoking and attacking civil society. All these oppressive acts, which ignore human rights and democratic values are reminiscent of martial law. Even legislators from the ruling party have expressed concern over this issue to the Executive Yuan, only to see the chief authority - Premier Liu, dodge responsibility while providing only the flimsiest of excuses. We are stunned and outraged by this response, as well as ashamed and increasingly uneasy.
We must ask: Does increasing cross-Strait exchange require Taiwan to lower its standards of freedom and democracy, in order to achieve the same level of repressive authoritarian rule that China has?
In only a few short days, the liberal democracy that the people of Taiwan have fought so hard for has nearly collapsed amid massive police presence in the city, and the atmosphere of fear and repression that it brings. Behind its police state-like barricades, our government remains blinded by its delusions of a "meeting of historic proportions", and indulges itself in its receptions and banquets. Through this all, the peoples' constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and movement have been cast aside, and even forgotten.
As many of their actions are unconstitutional, it is not surprising that not a single police officer before the cameras has been able to definitively state what law empowers them to carry out the orders issued to them by their superiors. Police officers are supposed to be civil servants charged with protecting the people. Yet under the outrageous requests issued from above, they have become thugs restricting and punishing the people for expressing their opinions. We have no intention of blaming individual police officers who can only obey orders issued by their superiors. Rather, we solemnly demand that the highest authorities in the government bear the largest share of political responsibility for these abuses.
We are simply a group of university professors, students, cultural workers, and citizens who are concerned about Taiwan's current state of disorder and future development. At 11AM on November 6, without any support or mobilization from any political party or civic group, we will assemble at the gate of the Executive Yuan in black clothes and face masks symbolizing our painful protest, and will join hands sitting in civil disobedience until our requests are met. We demand that--
1.President Ma Ying-jeou and Premier Liu Chao-shiuan must publicly apologize to all citizens.
2.National Police Agency Director-General Wang Cho-chiun and National Security Bureau Director Tsai Chaoming must step down.
3.The Legislative Yuan must revise the Parade and Assembly Law, which currently restricts the rights of the people.
Thousands of university students nationwide have joined by organizing their local protests since November 6.
NOW, WE NEED MORE INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT. WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO OUR CAUSE OF THE FIGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY. AND WE ASK YOU TO INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TO JOIN US AND SING THE SONG OF WILD STRAWBURRIES-- http://taiwanstudentmovement2008.blogspot.com/2008/11/voice-of-wild-berries-theme-song-for.html

【社運團體聯合聲明】
立院凍結公視預算 扼殺多元發聲管道
昨天（九日）立法院教育文化委員會與內政委員會分別通過對公共電視台、原住民電視台、客家電視台、宏觀電視台之九十八年度預算執行施以附加決議，要求各台於執行明年度預算時須逐項報請主管機關核可同意始能動支，更明文要求原住民族委員會、客家委員會、僑務委員會等機關要對所主管之電視台執行節目製播、審核、監督之責。而今年公共電視二分之一的預算尚被立法院凍結無法使用。
我們認為，政府以如此公然明顯的方式，意圖將政治的黑手伸入公視，是台灣言論自由的重大倒退，過去二十年，黨政軍退出媒體已經在民間形成共識，也獲得相當初步的成果，立法院今日的一紙決議，毀棄了過去的黨政軍三退的成果，並且宣告政府的黑手將再度箝制媒體的言論。
公共電視成立十年來，所製播的的節目品質有口皆碑，謹守客觀中立的立場，自外於商業傳媒的惡性競爭，為社會的弱勢與其他不見容於商業傳媒的聲音提供發聲管道，凍結公視預算，就等同是封殺了弱勢與其他多元聲音的發聲管道。
綜觀世界各國公視，預算雖由政府編列，但其營運獨立，不受政府之控制，更何況是其製播內容。要求各部會負責監督、審核公視節目內容，明顯違反公視法第十一條規定：「公共電視屬於國民全體，其經營應獨立自主，不受干涉」。

[Tsai 08.11.7=5 #1] "Terminate ROC"!! Sidney, what an attractive call. But:
1) ROC, or Republic of China, was the title of China, 1912-1949.
2) And ROC, perhaps still is the title of China, as one of five originator, within the UN (?)
3) China chose ROC as the title within the UN when the UN originated.
4) Then, PRC, or People's Republic of China, as the one and only legitimate regime of China, chose the title of China within the UN, rather than PRC.
5) The current ROC in Taiwan, is not legally recognized internationally. So legally, ROC was terminated when PRC replaced "ROC" at the UN.
6) Unfortunately, the so-called "ROC", the corpse of the old China, kicked out of China by the Chinese Communist Party, and by the overwhelming majority of those Chinese people persecuted and murdered by the Chiang Kai-shek "KMT" "ROC" (Can we term it ChKMT and ChROC?), has been maintained by us, the Taiwanese people (persecuted and murdered by ChKMT's ChROC) in Taiwan!!
7) So, legally ROC already died in the wide world for so many years. Taiwan's so-called "ROC" must be terminated very, very soon, by ourselves, all Taiwanese. A-Bien's ROC officials and DPP must bear full responsibilities , together with all Taiwanese citizens, for postponing the termination of ROC for the past 8 years and then let ChKMT to take over ChROC again in Taiwan, in violation of the international law and regular practices and customs, and putting ourselves in danger, contributing to one of very dangerous international relations, threatening world peace!! I think we just cannot blame the whole things to China. The Chinese did it, why cannot we also? As US President-elect Barack Obama says here in the USA, "Yes, we can!"

Here is what the former Foreign Minister Yeh's testimony in 50's
在另外的規定、外交部長葉（公超）陳述
“在舊金山和約中並沒有處置台湾与澎湖未来的地位”在有関中日和平條約質詢中、葉部長被問及、福爾摩莎和澎湖的地位是甚麼？“ 他回答
“福爾摩莎過去正式是中国的領土、基於日本已經放棄了她対其主権。因此、只有中国才有権利接收。事実上、我們現在正在控制中、並且無可置疑地、它們是我們的領土的一部分。但是、在微妙的国際状況下、它們並不屬於我們。在目前状況下、日本沒有権利轉移福爾摩莎和澎湖給我們；甚至日本有此意願、我們也無法接受日本的轉移、、、在中日和平條約中、我們做了規定、明示在福爾摩莎和澎湖的法定居民持有中国国籍。並且這些規定将用於補充在将来福爾摩莎和澎湖歸還我們時的不足之處。”

'日本台灣投降典禮的正確意義' 作者：林志昇, 台灣平民政府召集人: Nov9,2008:
: " 結論：主要盟軍﹝如英國、法國、美國等﹞並不認為一九四五年十月二十五日有台澎主權過戶給中國。在國際法上，投降典禮後只是「佔領時期」的開始。和平條約是誰扮演佔領權國﹝the occupying power﹞的角色？是美國。蔣介石集團只是一個代辦或代理單位。如此，中華民國在一九四九年十二月逃難遷移到﹝非自己領土範圍的﹞台灣，國際稱為「流亡」，是為「流亡政府」，而不得視為「台灣之合法政府」。總而言之，「台灣問題」並非中國的內政問題，而是美國的內政問題。台灣問題之解決，必須向美國嗆聲、與美國溝通、協調，而非在於改變「中華民國」體制或調整。 ""

: "" 在過去，每當民進黨的政治人物發動各種抗爭活動時，中國國民黨人士與其支持者常喜歡以「意識型態之爭」來為這些抗爭活動貼上標籤。在中國國民黨陣營的眼中，「意識型態之爭」就代表了所謂的「泛政治化」、「為反對而反對」、「不顧慮實際的民生問題，只關心虛幻的統獨意識」....等的意思。 "
... ...
" 請仔細思考一下，你們一直以來時常掛在嘴上的那些口號或甚至是你們的黨章，請問有哪一點不是為了凸顯你們與中國黨在意識型態上的差異？難道說你們曾經主張過的，如「國會全面改選」、「非核家園」或甚至「台灣的前途由台灣人民自決」....等等，不是肇因於和中國黨政權的意識型態不同所以才提出的嗎？ "
... ...
" 就拿這次針對陳雲林來台所發起的抗爭活動中，所發生的一些所謂的「暴力事件」來說。
對於馬政府與其支持者，從上到下口徑一致地認為這些民眾都是「暴民」、他們對公權力所進行的各種挑戰都是「暴力」的表現，我們一點都不驚訝。因為這就是中國黨統治階級的思維模式，這就是他們的意識型態。
然而，我們看到了，在一片韃伐「暴力」的聲浪中，所有民進黨的政治人物不但極力附和這樣的聲音，甚至想盡辦法與這些被貼上「暴民」標籤的民眾劃清界限。在中國黨勢力強烈譴責暴力的火砲攻擊下，我們看到的是慌張驚恐、四處逃竄、深怕就此又被打上「暴力黨」的印記的民進黨。
為什麼民進黨會有如此的表現呢？難道不是因為民進黨的政治人物們，打從心裡也認同了中國黨統治階級所建立的意識型態體系中對於「暴力」的定義嗎？因為民進黨的政治人物們也認為那些行為是脫序的暴力行為，而這樣的行為又是會令人生厭的，所以，當然他們會避之唯恐不及地和這些「暴民」撇清關係啊！
我們不禁要說，比起在圍城之日缺乏衝破封鎖線的勇氣，一個政黨連嘗試奪回詮釋權，並積極捍衛這些遭受國家機器暴力對待之人民的勇氣都沒有，才真的是一件可悲的事。
一直以來，我們這些本土派的勢力都是在與以中國黨為首的統治階級進行一場意識型態的戰爭。或許檯面上的政治人物不知道，但我相信我們這些人民是相當清楚的。 "
... ...
" 最後，請容我再次提醒民進黨的諸位賢達，撇開「意識型態」的不同，你們在人民的眼中與中國黨的差別也將消失殆盡。希望諸位賢達能慎思。 ""

邏輯-救阿輝阿扁
世界最高民主並嚴厲批評說謊的美國官方報導;中華民國不是國家,只是一個流亡政權,它自第二次世界大戰終了後,沒有一天擁有過[台澎的主權]。 此間,中國國民党逃避共匪的追殺,就非法佔領台灣,大開殺戒,長期的恐怖主義統治及洗腦教育,早就將台灣人塑成不三不四的中國奴。
民進党自稱人材多多,卻最不想知道台灣歷史真相的政党! Fapa亦然! 中共,日本,俄羅斯及美國均對林志昇/何端元論述有專人小組的研究班。 相反地,在台灣是封殺清一色的陀鳥心態;補藥當毒藥,忠誠當漢奸? 您我都隨中國人指揮棒亂跳,陷入敵人離間之計,互相內鬥,永遠不團結,如何建國?
反併吞,護台灣的口號,在ROC体制有如何具体錦囊妙計? 10月25日60萬人嗆聲只帶來[殺雞警猴的司法恐怖統治]。阿扁被逮捕還上手銬,並將拘留4個月查案由;這是台灣人覺得驕傲的台灣人的自由民主的中華民國? 台灣的外來政權及其走狗,將所有台灣人領導人物包括李登輝前總統及阿扁,當做標的人物,陷入絕境,上手銬不是怕阿扁逃跑,而是統治者的下馬威,折磨台灣人,試探反抗力以利[軟土深掘],企圖回復昔日權威。為什麼土匪群盜陷害台灣的主人? 沒有主權者有選票的假民主是誰之過???
還是苦口相勸;台美人在海外組織[強力的領導團隊]配合已進行中的兩條路; 可救出台灣人的阿輝伯及阿扁及所有黑名單上的台灣人。
(1) 林志昇在高等法庭的訴訟案;要求美國終止ROC對台灣的軍事佔領並支持[台灣人平民政府的成立],取代外來政權!
(2) Jeff Geer主導的TCRLO合法組織,將控告 [中國國民党在佔領區所犯的戰爭犯罪行為]或[替人權或民權受害的人伸怨並要求賠償]。
兩項法律行動都是[現在進行式],不是口號,空談或茶壺中的風暴。盼望[領導團隊]開動[了解],[推廣] 進而領導[台灣建國]。再敲警鐘;今天不做,明天將後悔。時勢造英雄! 英雄何在!

〔記者王貝林／台北報導〕嗆馬圍陳激情落幕，藍綠互推流血衝突責任，前副總統呂秀蓮昨強調，警察看到五星旗笑臉相迎，看到民眾拿國旗卻瘋狂取締，國家認同嚴重錯亂，才是爆發衝突的根源，但基層員警不會自己去做這種事，是誰錯把雞毛當令箭下的命令？往上追溯，「到底誰是馬英九的上司？」
呂秀蓮昨召開記者會，指連宋以降大動作赴中媚共，已讓本土台灣人厭惡，特別是此次陳雲林來台每天那麼多排隊巴結的餐宴，對比台灣經濟蕭條，很多人沒飯吃，更讓台灣人民無法接受。
呂秀蓮表示，即使此次發生了令人不樂見的紛擾，但這二天的情形也凸顯，若無台灣人民的支持，國共協議最後還是無法有意義發展，若北京能不錯估形勢，就會知道要尊重台灣人民心聲。
呂秀蓮並認為，此次兩岸四項協議未必真能方便所有台灣人，而空運截彎取直將減少台灣安全準備時間，海運排除國際公司參與，更會讓台灣與中國間的關係徹底國內化。
她批評，國共間本是敵我矛盾的誓不兩立，國民黨與民進黨間應屬內部矛盾，但現在卻反過來，國共團團圓圓在一起，國、民兩黨間卻如寇讎；馬應如陳雲林所說「以協商化解分歧，以合作取代對抗」，記取教訓建構協商機制有所作為。
對於蔡英文表現，呂則說，蔡英文沒選舉過，也缺乏與國民黨的對戰經驗，連續三次大型活動，蔡的表現也比她想像的有信心；可是蔡以法律人思考，認為遊行將民眾帶去又帶回即可，但遊行是政治而非法律行為，須概括承受，未來對遊行決策機制及現場指揮的靈活度，還有待改進。 ""

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."²
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

WHITE TERROR REDUX?: FAPA asked the US to speak up in response to the ‘deterioration of human rights and democracy in Taiwan’ after recent detentions ' Charles Snyder, STAFF REPORTER IN WASHINGTON, Taipei Times, Nov2,08, Page 1: http://tinyurl.com/6pffez
: "" A prominent Taiwanese-American organization on Friday accused the Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) administration of eroding Taiwan’s democracy during his term, and charged it with conducting a spate of “politically inspired” arrests of opposition leaders over the past two weeks.
The organization, the Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) based in Washington, asked the US government to express its concern over what it called the “deterioration of human rights and democracy in Taiwan” under the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) administration of Ma.
In its biting statement, FAPA, a leading pro-green lobbying group, also recalled the days of martial law “White Terror” under earlier KMT rule.
The arrests — coming just before a visit from China’s top cross-strait negotiator, Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) Chairman Chen Yunlin (陳雲林) — have resulted in the detention of four Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) politicians and the indictment of a fifth on charges ranging from corruption and embezzlement to assault.
The latest case involved former National Security Council secretary-general Chiou I-jen (邱義仁), who was detained on Friday on suspicion of embezzling US$500,000 from a diplomatic fund.
Chiou, who is also a former deputy premier, was considered in Washington to be one of the prime diplomatic and political liaisons between the administrations of Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) and US President George W. Bush through much of the Chen administration. "
... ...
" Complaining about the Ma administration’s legal action against those four officials, FAPA also cited the Oct. 15 arrest of former interior minister Yu Cheng-hsien (余政憲) in Kaohsiung on corruption charges.
In a statement, FAPA president Bob Yang (楊英育) called the prosecutions unfair and a violation of the officials’ basic rights.
“We also question the fairness of the procedures: While one or two of the accused have been formally charged, the majority are being held incommunicado and without charge,” he said.
“This is a severe contravention of the writ of habeas corpus and a basic violation of due process, justice and the rule of law. In the meantime, the prosecutor’s offices leak detrimental information to the press. This kind of ‘trial by press’ is unacceptable,” Yang said.
In urging the US government and Congress to express “their deep concern” over the situation, Yang said, “the present cases endanger the progress made during the 21 years since the end of the Kuomintang’s [KMT] martial law in 1987. As members of the Taiwanese-American community, we believe that a return to the KMT’s ‘White Terror’ days of 1945 to 1987 should be avoided at all cost.”
Yesterday in Taipei, former vice-president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) also condemned the government for its detention of Chiou and other aides of the former president, calling the detentions a violation of human rights.
“I’ve not seen such large-scale detainments since the Kaohsiung Incident. It seems like the prosecutors detained people before finding any evidence, and I feel disturbed by such a procedure,” she said.
The Kaohsiung Incident, also known as the Formosa Incident, was an anti-government demonstration organized by Formosa Magazine on Dec. 10, 1979. The event turned into a violent confrontation, and as a result, Lu and seven other pro-democracy activists were arrested by the former KMT government.
Lu said recent developments in the allegations against former president Chen Shui-bian and his former aides were “unbelievable” to her, adding it was difficult for her to believe that what the prosecutors have said was all true.

驚聞台灣教授協會會長蔡丁貴教授為了推動公投法補正落實直接民主，在立法院
門口靜坐絕食。為此，北美洲台灣人教授協會發表下列嚴正聲明：
一、公投是普世價值，更是直接民主的落實。台灣目前的鳥籠公投法嚴重妨礙公
民行使直接民權。
二、我們認同蔡教授的看法，只要公投制度合理，國民擁有完整的直接民權，就
不用上街遊行抗議。對蔡教授在1025遊行後轉往立法院靜坐，訴求公投法補正的遠
見，本會表示贊同與欽佩。
三、我們要求在320總統競選政見中一再向選民表示台灣前途應由兩千三百萬人決
定的馬英九立刻對公投法補正的訴求給予正面回應，還台灣人民一個完整的直接民權。
台灣人民追求民主多年，依然無法落實直接民權，逼迫蔡教授 必須絕食抗議為國
人爭取基本公民權，我們深表遺憾與痛心，也認為這是國民黨長年一黨獨大的嚴重後遺
症。我們呼籲台灣人民支持公投法補正，並唾棄阻擋人民行使直接民權的政黨與政治人
物。

02 示威遊行、絕食靜坐 — 雙管齊下 作者／黃界清
10月25日，民進党、台聯党以及全体台灣人社團，成功發動六十萬台灣人到總統
府，抗議馬政府極度無能及無恥出賣台灣主權。毫無疑問，這是自3月22日民進党總統
敗選以來，大振人心士氣的示威抗議。
這次，由今年二二八領軍「東海岸逆風行腳」的台教會會長蔡丁貴教授，以「絕食
靜坐」來對「馬政府的無能及出賣台灣主權」做最嚴肅的抗爭。蔡教授此舉，不只令人
感動，更令人心不忍！試想，若非因為有「國家主權」快被出賣的急迫牲，平常祥和而
常常面帶笑容的阿貴教授，為何要以自我折磨的強烈方式，來指出台灣問題的核心，及
解決問題的根本辦法呢？
以目前台灣險惡局勢，要救台灣，保衛台灣，絕對不是只有一種方法。單單以公開
合法抗爭來說，大型示威遊行和小型絕食靜坐，兩者非但不相抵觸，雙管齊下，可以達
到群眾運動迫使政府改革的最高境界。
可是，馬先生己經決定，不因示威遊行拆換無能的行政首長，並且仍然要歡迎中共
陳雲林訪台。人民若不滿意，只有罷免馬先生。罷免馬先生有兩種方法：其一是透過立
法院，其二是長期抗爭再度實現政黨輪替。目前立委不會罷免馬先生，所以只有長期抗
爭一途。長期抗爭包括大型示威遊行與小型絕食靜坐，只要持之有恆，政黨輪替之前，
必可預先達到逼迫馬先生拆換無能的行政首長，杜絕馬政府企圖出賣台灣主權。
就陳雲林訪台來說，短期間內，民進党和台聯党，應該持績發動大型示威遊行，讓
中共陳雲林知道，台灣人不歡迎他，讓馬先生知道，台灣人反對他。這種大型示威遊
行，可以在台北、台中、高雄輪流舉行，以求達到全台灣反對「一中」的無理訴求。如
此趁著10月25日大遊行的氣勢，提高台灣意識，對抗中共併吞。從長期來看，因為馬先
生是法定總統，中共陳雲林訪台之後，他照樣可以用各種方式出賣台灣。立委不罷免馬
先生，人民只好罷免立委，或是修改不合理公投法。
不論是罷免不稱職的立委, 或是修改不合理公投法（包括罷免總統），到立法院抗
爭是理所當然。這也是台教會「從總統府示威抗議到立法院絕食靜坐」的原因與訴求。
台教會會長蔡丁貴教授，選擇到立法院絕食靜坐，抗議「鳥籠」公投門檻，來指出台灣
問題的核心及解決問題的根本辦法，拉長示威遊行戰線，以身作則, 令人感佩。蔡教授
絕食靜坐第五天己經超過110小時，我們不能光眼看他這樣倒下去。他說，如果年青人
出來接捧，他會帶領大家共同長期靜坐，不再絕食。準此，愛護蔡教授的年青朋友，請
趕快出來保護蔡教授的生命，支持長期靜坐抗爭。只有在立法院、外交部、經濟部，做
長期靜坐抗爭，配合大型示威遊行，互相支援群眾運動，才有可能保衛台灣.
在此建議，只要60萬人的千分之一，也就是6百人，包括所有台灣人社團負責人，
出來支援蔡教授，不但可以保護蔡教授的生命，繼續來做長期靜坐抗爭，而且透過大家
合作，大團結，振士氣，短期抗議中共陳雲林訪台，長期保衛台灣主權，一定成功在
望。

03 站出來吧 不能讓2008成為1895 作者／葉治平
中國海協會會長陳雲林來台進行統戰，國民黨強先佔下圓山飯店附近，以及凱達格
蘭大道的路權，不讓台灣民眾有對陳雲林抗議的機會。台南市議員王定宇對張銘清嗆
聲，遭檢方以破紀錄的速度起訴，並求刑一年兩個月。馬政府的這些做法，讓人聯想起
1895年的清朝政府。
馬關條約簽定後，台灣舉島激憤，人民鳴鑼罷市，誓死要保衛家園。仕紳們則呈血
書向清庭求情，表示台灣「無負朝庭」皇帝「何忍棄之」？但大清皇帝毫無所動，除了
冷冷一句「京畿為重，邊陲為輕」，更下令「交割時要須極力保護(日本人)，諭百姓切
勿滋生事端」。不但要保護敵人，還把人民保鄉衛土的行動當作「滋生事端」。這種心
態與做法，在馬政府中也可一覽無遺。代表一千多飛彈的中國官員大剌剌地登門入室，
來台進行統戰，馬政府不但出動七千警力來保護，還以「依妨害秩序」嚴懲向張銘清嗆
聲的王定宇議員。這豈不就是1895年清朝割台政府的翻版？
清朝的「台灣巡撫」唐景菘在人民逼迫下成立了「台灣民主國」。但雖說要「獨立
自主」，卻又將國號定為「永清」，奉中國為「正朔」，要「遙作屏蕃，氣脈相通，無
異中土」。相同的，馬英九迫於選票須要，也聲稱要保衛台灣主權，但卻又主張「終極
統一」，而且自降國格，把台灣當成中國的「台灣地區」，不敢自稱總統，儼然成為中
國的「台灣特首」。今古對照，1895的清朝官吏和2008的國民黨總統竟是如此相似，同
一類人物，同一般心態，同一種作法。
台灣民主國的人民決心抗敵，但日軍登陸不到三天，心向「祖國」的大總統隨即落
跑，逃回中國，留下手無寸鐵的台灣人民，以血肉身驅來保衛家園，寫下了壯烈的乙未
抗日史。如果這段歷史可做為借鏡，那麼台灣人就絕對不能信任「反獨漸統」的馬區
長。如果我們能從歷史中學到教訓，那麼在陳雲林來台期間，所有台灣人就不能沉默，
必須展現集體意志，發出怒吼，向國共兩黨嗆聲，警告國民黨不得出賣台灣，更正告全
世界，台灣主權獨立，絕不是中國能妄想染指。
台灣已經到了危急存亡之秋，站出來吧，朋友！

04 絕食靜坐：要求落實直接民主 作者／李欣芬
六十萬的台灣人民在星期六走上街頭，參加「一○二五反黑心、顧台灣大遊行」，
台灣教授協會(TAUP)與北美洲台灣人教授協會(NATPA)參加了第二大隊。
台灣教授協會的會長蔡丁貴教授與副會長劉重義教授自然帶隊先行，而他們的夫人
黃蘭蕙與蔡和吟女士則在凱道擺攤義賣T恤，她們賣到晚上十點多才收攤；蘭蕙姊返家
後卻久等丈夫一夜未歸，隔天看新聞才曉得，原來蔡會長自遊行結束後便在立院門口絕
食靜坐，心疼丈夫健康的她，在電話中泣不成聲。
我不禁想起了二000年，那一年我加入台教會，蔡丁貴教授擔任秘書長，舉辦活動
時常見他帶頭，活動結束時也是他在善後。印象深刻的是二00一年一月份，立院要表決
核四案，本土社團發起「看守非核家園30小時」的活動，夜晚時面對記者先生與小姐所
丟下的滿地菸蒂，獨見蔡教授蹲下撿拾，見狀不忍心，我便也跟在後頭撿，足足30分鐘
之久；隔天活動結束了，卻見他獨自一人收拾著台教會的旗幟與標語，不忍心我又上前
幫忙，並跟隨著坐計程車，將物品運回辦公室。
接著，二00一年的二二八，我前往宜蘭山上紀念林宅血案的那三位祖孫時，恰巧與
黃蘭蕙女士同車，她談起先生蔡丁貴教授留學美國康乃爾大學(Cornell Uni.)時，第一
年由於家眷還未前去，他常到別人家中作客，便立志一旦太太來了，也要常在家中招待
台灣去的留學生；日後果然他們常在星期六設宴款待同鄉，並暢談時事，而經常她因忙
碌了一整天的採買與烹飪後，累得先行休息，隔天早上起來卻見餐桌收拾乾靜，並且碗
盤清洗完畢，整齊排列。
今年的立委選前一星期， TAUP與NATPA一起在北中南五所大學前分發公投傳單，蔡
丁貴會長以身作則，每天都報到；接著，二月份時兩會一起前往東海岸進行「逆風向前
行」的苦行，蔡會長夫妻第一名，參加完全程，並且常見蔡會長忍著腰痛走在後頭，堅
持不肯搭車。
蔡丁貴會長絕食靜坐的訴求兩點：一、修正鳥籠公投法，二、立委選舉合理化。
蔡會長要求立院進行公投法補正，落實直接民主，他表示，他會絕食到立院同意修
法為止，其實在一○二五大遊行前，他就提出這樣的訴求，可惜未成為遊行主軸；他指
出，若公投法不補正，仍持續限縮人民的直接民主，台灣人永無出頭之日，所以才在遊
行結束後跑來立院絕食靜坐；另外他也指出，立委選舉制度如果不改革，立院將永遠是
國民黨獨大，這是不合理的。
於此，我想呼籲台教會會員，請大家不要讓會長孤單絕食靜坐，目前雖有副會長劉
重義教授及許文輔博士在旁陪坐，但希望大家能前往立法院門口關心，在旁發表演講也
可以，並歡迎民眾前往打氣。

00) 2. 'My response to [Taiwan is part of China], what is yours???' Cheng-Kuang Chen, Sep29,08 12:13:24PM, To:SBTA2
: " 加拿大不承認台灣是中國領土的理由 ...
在60年代，中共便為此鬧了個國際笑話。中國外交部要求加拿大承認台灣是中國的領土。加拿大提出5點理由反駁﹕
（一） 台灣並非加拿大所擁有之領土，所以加拿大沒有權利承認台灣主權歸屬於誰。如果是加拿大所擁有的北極圈諸小島與中國有爭議，加拿大才有權利承認其歸屬。這是從羅馬法以來的所有權法理。國際法當然也依此原則適用。
（二） 沒有任何國際法理論使加拿大有「權利」承認、或有「義務」承認與它無任何關係的台灣的主權歸屬。中國要求加拿大做這種承認毫無道理。
（三） 即使加拿大承認台灣是中國一部份，實際上並無任何法效果或意義。因為加拿大國民、飛機、船舶要進入台灣，拿北京政權所發簽證根本無效，還是要向台灣當局申請簽證。承認其對台灣實效統治，這等於是立刻又以具體行為否認台灣是中國的一部份。
（四） 加拿大若在國際條約中承認台灣是中國的一部份，依條約必須履行原理，加拿大勢必派兵攻佔台灣，負責把台灣交給中國以履行條約。這是多麼荒謬的一件事。
（五） 台灣如果的確屬於中國，則北京政權又何必要求各國承認。例如，海南島是中國領土不可分割的一部份，中國根本不必要求他國承認。反之，台灣若非中國領土，中國即使到處去要求他國承認，實際上也沒有國際法效果。如果台灣是有紛爭的領土，中國也應該去找與該領土有關的當事國交涉及承認才有國際法效果。強迫無關的第三國承認是毫無意義。
說得中國外交部啞口無言，『十億』口莫辨。自此之後，中國只能嘴巴嚷嚷，不敢再要求加拿大承認台灣是中國的領土。 論理充分...提出理由的加拿大老兄顯然受過嚴謹邏輯訓練... "

3/3: Huang Pei-ying: ]]
: "" Diversity marks the work of Taiwan's young artists.
It is not easy to find a thread connecting artwork as disparate as the oozing, fleshy oil paintings of Yang Chang-ling, the new media work of Kuo I-chen and Huang Pei-ying's large installations of corrugated cardboard or foam pipe insulation.
Still, the three have a lot in common. They are all based in Taipei but were born outside the capital, and they are all around 30 years old. They have master's degrees in art and have chosen to pursue careers as contemporary artists--something not as common as it might seem, even among graduates of the most prestigious art schools. They also embody a new art trend in Taiwan that focuses on individual experience.
J.J. Shih, executive director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (MOCA Taipei), estimates that only 5 percent of art school graduates go on to a career in contemporary art. Others become teachers, writers, designers, or--especially for students of new media art--computer programmers. That is beginning to change as the last couple of years have seen Taiwan's market for contemporary art finally leap into the 21st century. Global interest in China's explosive art market has turned the art world's focus eastward, and countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan are benefiting.
Not only are local artists drawing more attention from overseas, but Taiwanese buyers are increasingly searching for new, affordable talent closer to home. Though Yang, Kuo and Huang do not express much interest in the fickle, profit-driven art market, they have all gained from it to varying extents. " Continues below.
[[ So, "Yang, Kuo and Huang":---------
1/3: Yang Chang-ling, or Chang-ling,
"father, Yang Wei-chung, is a well-known modernist painter" ]]:
" At 33, Yang Chang-ling is the oldest of the bunch. It is hard to find anyone involved in the local art scene who does not know the outgoing, energetic Chang-ling--who goes by just his given name--and his Francis Bacon-influenced Pork Belly series. But despite signing with Impressions Art Gallery in 2007 and selling out two shows earlier this year, his thoughts are still focused on creation. "I do what I feel like doing; it's not like going to the office. Every day I have my own challenges with my art, and I try to meet them," he says matter-of-factly.
Chang-ling has been interested in art for as long as he can remember. He was born in Hualien and moved to Danshuei when he was a child. His father, Yang Wei-chung, is a well-known modernist painter. When Chang-ling was a child, his father hung blank sheets of paper around the bath to draw on, and he says art still gives him a "slippery, bubbly, wet feeling." While it might be easy to draw too direct a connection with the dripping, sensual forms that dominate his paintings, they do evoke the shiny lather of soap on a naked body.
His father gave him his first exhibit when he was 21 years old. He had already been painting in oils for nine years when "A Joint Exhibition of Yang Wei-chung and Yang Chang-ling" opened in Hualien in 1996. Later the same year he left to study art in France.
At the time, Paris was not a place for contemporary painting. Chang-ling experimented with more fashionable media like performance and video art. For example, he blindfolded himself, attached wires to his head and strung them across the sidewalk like antennae, hoping to "feel the people walking by."
As odd as it might sound, this was not very groundbreaking for an art student in the 1990s. But after six years without picking up a brush, Chang-ling did something that really raised a few eyebrows at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Art de Paris--he started painting again. Chang-ling readily admits that paint is a traditional medium for a contemporary artist, but says it is challenging nonetheless. "People have been painting for tens of thousands of years. You could say it's the most difficult medium to work with," he says.
Pork Bellies
After returning to Taiwan in 2004, Chang-ling rented part of a small abandoned factory in the hills north of Taipei and began the series he is still working on today. The walls of his studio are filled with works from his Pork Belly series. Books of Chinese scroll paintings lay around, and many of his works include animals, plants and landscapes reminiscent of ancient ink paintings.
A formal reference to traditional Chinese painting is also evident in Chang-ling's expressionist, brush-slinging style. He takes obvious pleasure in pushing, splashing and smearing paint around a canvas. This runs counter to the flat use of acrylics and strong lines preferred by many younger Taiwanese painters, whose work--heavily influenced by comic books and cutesy Japanese art--often looks like something one might expect to see printed on a child's backpack. In this regard, Chang-ling really stands out.
MOCA Taipei's J.J. Shih points out that a generation ago there was a feeling of social change in the air that is just not around now. Martial law was repealed in Taiwan in 1987 and mainland China's crackdown in Tiananmen Square came just two years later: History was in the making. The big news this year is a change in government that people hope will boost the economy--which would certainly help artists, but not necessarily inspire them. "There used to be so much going on that local Taiwanese artists felt like they had to respond to something," Shih says. "But newer artists don't look outside, they look inside. And maybe there's not so much inside," he laughs. "Just manga, or TV."
While Chang-ling's paintings are not void of social commentary, he is not obviously confronting political or environmental issues and says that he prefers to leave the interpretation to the viewer. " Continues below.
[[ 2/3: Kuo I-chen, "met kinetic artist Tao Ya-lun" ]]:
" A New Generation
Kuo I-chen does not have the art background of Chang-ling. Kuo, 29, was born in Ciaotou, a small town just outside Kaohsiung City that is now the last stop on the southern city's rapid transit system. His father died in a car accident when Kuo was a child; he credits his mother with encouraging him to enter drawing contests when he was young, although during his school years Kuo was more likely to dream of being a comic book illustrator than a fine artist. He is polite, handsome, a little shy and about two-thirds finished with his compulsory military service.
In 1999, he tested into the multimedia design program at Taipei's Shih Chien University, but quickly found that the school's structure was not for him. "They were going one way and I was going another ... I had to pass the Taipei Fine Arts Museum [TFAM] to get to class and a lot of times I'd just decide to go to the museum instead," he says.
Around this time Kuo met kinetic artist Tao Ya-lun, whose work includes contraptions that move, sometimes imperceptibly. For example, Tao's Black from 2000 consists of a dark, larva-shaped balloon that slowly inflates and deflates when viewers trip sensors in the gallery. Influenced by Tao and the exhibits at TFAM, Kuo jumped headfirst into contemporary art.
He started making pieces that used media including video, sound and machinery to describe his inner world. The more he thought about art, the more he wanted to inject his personal feelings--loneliness at having left his hometown for Taipei and at having lost his father--into his works.
On Tao's recommendation, Kuo applied and tested into the Graduate School of Art and Technology at Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) in 2003, despite not having finished his undergraduate studies.
Unsettling Feeling
In 2004, Kuo showed a piece at TFAM that not only melded new media and site-specific installation, but also said something about himself that touched a psychological nerve with viewers. "I thought of it in 2002," he says. "I'd skip class at the university and every time I went to the museum I could hear planes [landing at nearby Songshan Airport]."
"When they were flying over the building it ... gave me an unsettling feeling ... There were times outside the museum when a plane's shadow would cover mine and I felt like they were going through my body and taking me somewhere."
Invade the TFAM from 2004 is a simple but powerful piece. Viewers watched planes arrive through the west windows of the museum. When a plane flew overhead, the menacing shadow of a passing plane was projected on the museum's ceiling, accompanied by the recorded sound of rumbling jet engines. When the projected shadow had crossed the ceiling, the actual plane could be seen out the eastern windows as it continued its descent to the airport.
A year later Kuo won the Taipei Arts Award Grand Prize and became the youngest artist ever to represent Taiwan at the Venice Biennale. Later the same year he signed with Galerie Grand Siecle in Taipei, meaning he no longer needed to take on freelance design projects--not bad for a young artist who was still a student at TNUA.
Howard Chen, a 37-year-old artist and curator of the exhibition department at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts at TNUA, has been part of the local art scene for more than a decade. He says that experimental artists have spent the last 10 or 15 years making art that was not easily assimilated into the art market. Now, younger artists are born straight into a scene where "experimental art" is not really experimental anymore. "These artists around 30 years old came of age with Windows," he says. "We grew up writing letters and they grew up typing e-mails. The background is different."
Technology, travel and disappearance find their way into many of Kuo's works. For Losing Contact in 2005, he tied a wireless video camera to eight large balloons and released them from a rooftop in Taipei's bustling Simending district. Images from the camera showed the city's streets slowly shrink to a grid. When the camera was carried two or three kilometers into the sky, the reception broke up into static.
"It was about losing contact with friends, family and society," Kuo says. As for the camera--weighing about a kilogram--that was last seen floating hundreds of meters above Simending: "I 'lost contact,'" he says.
Kuo's most recent work was included in Mutation, an exhibit that showed simultaneously at several venues in Taipei in 2007 and for which he made the shortlist of this year's Taishin Arts Award. One piece from the exhibit, X, comprises X-rays of Kuo's body--12 in all, taken in a single trip to a hospital--digitally rearranged to form a creature that looks like the product of radioactive mutation.
When Kuo finishes his military service in November, he will be free to concentrate solely on his work for the first time in his life. " Continues below.
[[ 3/3: Huang Pei-ying ]]:
" Strange Biology
Taoyuan-born Huang Pei-ying, 31, works with everyday materials not commonly displayed in galleries and museums, often challenging the idea of how a traditional art space should be filled.
Viewers might get the impression that Huang's hometown--one of northern Taiwan's most industrial cities--has something to do with her choice of materials, but she says her use of non-traditional media came to her in a rather quotidian way.
Taiwan's education system often divides children up, according to skill and interest, at a very young age. Huang says the system suited her well because she was interested in art. "My mother liked me a lot because if she just gave me a pen and paper, I'd keep quiet," she laughs.
The elementary, junior and senior high schools she attended all emphasized art, especially painting. After high school she entered the Department of Fine Arts at Tunghai University in Taichung. "That's where my mind was opened to contemporary art," she says. "I learned that just being a good painter didn't necessarily make you a good artist."
One of her teachers at Tunghai asked the students to make a piece using cardboard. Others completed the project and went back to more traditional media, but something about the material caught Huang's attention. When she peeled away the top layer of thick cardboard, the corrugated curves and the spaces underneath reminded her of something biological.
By the time she had finished her undergraduate degree at Tunghai and graduate studies at TNUA, Huang was buying large stacks of cardboard straight from the factory, cutting them to shape and stacking thousands of layers to create cave-like spaces

Taiwanese Responsibilities for Peace:

[Tsai 08.11.7=5 #1] "Terminate ROC"!! Sidney, what an attractive call. But:
1) ROC, or Republic of China, was the title of China, 1912-1949.
2) And ROC, perhaps still is the title of China, as one of five originator, within the UN (?)
3) China chose ROC as the title within the UN when the UN originated.
4) Then, PRC, or People's Republic of China, as the one and only legitimate regime of China, chose the title of China within the UN, rather than PRC.
5) The current ROC in Taiwan, is not legally recognized internationally. So legally, ROC was terminated when PRC replaced "ROC" at the UN.
6) Unfortunately, the so-called "ROC", the corpse of the old China, kicked out of China by the Chinese Communist Party, and by the overwhelming majority of those Chinese people persecuted and murdered by the Chiang Kai-shek "KMT" "ROC" (Can we term it ChKMT and ChROC?), has been maintained by us, the Taiwanese people (persecuted and murdered by ChKMT's ChROC) in Taiwan!!
7) So, legally ROC already died in the wide world for so many years. Taiwan's so-called "ROC" must be terminated very, very soon, by ourselves, all Taiwanese. A-Bien's ROC officials and DPP must bear full responsibilities , together with all Taiwanese citizens, for postponing the termination of ROC for the past 8 years and then let ChKMT to take over ChROC again in Taiwan, in violation of the international law and regular practices and customs, and putting ourselves in danger, contributing to one of very dangerous international relations, threatening world peace!! I think we just cannot blame the whole things to China. The Chinese did it, why cannot we also? As US President-elect Barack Obama says here in the USA, "Yes, we can!"

在另外的規定、外交部長葉（公超）陳述
“在舊金山和約中並沒有處置台湾与澎湖未来的地位”在有関中日和平條約質詢中、葉部長被問及、福爾摩莎和澎湖的地位是甚麼？“ 他回答
“福爾摩莎過去正式是中国的領土、基於日本已經放棄了她対其主権。因此、只有中国才有権利接收。事実上、我們現在正在控制中、並且無可置疑地、它們是我們的領土的一部分。但是、在微妙的国際状況下、它們並不屬於我們。在目前状況下、日本沒有権利轉移福爾摩莎和澎湖給我們；甚至日本有此意願、我們也無法接受日本的轉移、、、在中日和平條約中、我們做了規定、明示在福爾摩莎和澎湖的法定居民持有中国国籍。並且這些規定将用於補充在将来福爾摩莎和澎湖歸還我們時的不足之處。”

'日本台灣投降典禮的正確意義' 作者：林志昇, 台灣平民政府召集人: Nov9,2008:
: " 結論：主要盟軍﹝如英國、法國、美國等﹞並不認為一九四五年十月二十五日有台澎主權過戶給中國。在國際法上，投降典禮後只是「佔領時期」的開始。和平條約是誰扮演佔領權國﹝the occupying power﹞的角色？是美國。蔣介石集團只是一個代辦或代理單位。如此，中華民國在一九四九年十二月逃難遷移到﹝非自己領土範圍的﹞台灣，國際稱為「流亡」，是為「流亡政府」，而不得視為「台灣之合法政府」。總而言之，「台灣問題」並非中國的內政問題，而是美國的內政問題。台灣問題之解決，必須向美國嗆聲、與美國溝通、協調，而非在於改變「中華民國」體制或調整。 ""

: "" 在過去，每當民進黨的政治人物發動各種抗爭活動時，中國國民黨人士與其支持者常喜歡以「意識型態之爭」來為這些抗爭活動貼上標籤。在中國國民黨陣營的眼中，「意識型態之爭」就代表了所謂的「泛政治化」、「為反對而反對」、「不顧慮實際的民生問題，只關心虛幻的統獨意識」....等的意思。 "
... ...
" 請仔細思考一下，你們一直以來時常掛在嘴上的那些口號或甚至是你們的黨章，請問有哪一點不是為了凸顯你們與中國黨在意識型態上的差異？難道說你們曾經主張過的，如「國會全面改選」、「非核家園」或甚至「台灣的前途由台灣人民自決」....等等，不是肇因於和中國黨政權的意識型態不同所以才提出的嗎？ "
... ...
" 就拿這次針對陳雲林來台所發起的抗爭活動中，所發生的一些所謂的「暴力事件」來說。
對於馬政府與其支持者，從上到下口徑一致地認為這些民眾都是「暴民」、他們對公權力所進行的各種挑戰都是「暴力」的表現，我們一點都不驚訝。因為這就是中國黨統治階級的思維模式，這就是他們的意識型態。
然而，我們看到了，在一片韃伐「暴力」的聲浪中，所有民進黨的政治人物不但極力附和這樣的聲音，甚至想盡辦法與這些被貼上「暴民」標籤的民眾劃清界限。在中國黨勢力強烈譴責暴力的火砲攻擊下，我們看到的是慌張驚恐、四處逃竄、深怕就此又被打上「暴力黨」的印記的民進黨。
為什麼民進黨會有如此的表現呢？難道不是因為民進黨的政治人物們，打從心裡也認同了中國黨統治階級所建立的意識型態體系中對於「暴力」的定義嗎？因為民進黨的政治人物們也認為那些行為是脫序的暴力行為，而這樣的行為又是會令人生厭的，所以，當然他們會避之唯恐不及地和這些「暴民」撇清關係啊！
我們不禁要說，比起在圍城之日缺乏衝破封鎖線的勇氣，一個政黨連嘗試奪回詮釋權，並積極捍衛這些遭受國家機器暴力對待之人民的勇氣都沒有，才真的是一件可悲的事。
一直以來，我們這些本土派的勢力都是在與以中國黨為首的統治階級進行一場意識型態的戰爭。或許檯面上的政治人物不知道，但我相信我們這些人民是相當清楚的。 "
... ...
" 最後，請容我再次提醒民進黨的諸位賢達，撇開「意識型態」的不同，你們在人民的眼中與中國黨的差別也將消失殆盡。希望諸位賢達能慎思。 ""

邏輯-救阿輝阿扁
世界最高民主並嚴厲批評說謊的美國官方報導;中華民國不是國家,只是一個流亡政權,它自第二次世界大戰終了後,沒有一天擁有過[台澎的主權]。 此間,中國國民党逃避共匪的追殺,就非法佔領台灣,大開殺戒,長期的恐怖主義統治及洗腦教育,早就將台灣人塑成不三不四的中國奴。
民進党自稱人材多多,卻最不想知道台灣歷史真相的政党! Fapa亦然! 中共,日本,俄羅斯及美國均對林志昇/何端元論述有專人小組的研究班。 相反地,在台灣是封殺清一色的陀鳥心態;補藥當毒藥,忠誠當漢奸? 您我都隨中國人指揮棒亂跳,陷入敵人離間之計,互相內鬥,永遠不團結,如何建國?
反併吞,護台灣的口號,在ROC体制有如何具体錦囊妙計? 10月25日60萬人嗆聲只帶來[殺雞警猴的司法恐怖統治]。阿扁被逮捕還上手銬,並將拘留4個月查案由;這是台灣人覺得驕傲的台灣人的自由民主的中華民國? 台灣的外來政權及其走狗,將所有台灣人領導人物包括李登輝前總統及阿扁,當做標的人物,陷入絕境,上手銬不是怕阿扁逃跑,而是統治者的下馬威,折磨台灣人,試探反抗力以利[軟土深掘],企圖回復昔日權威。為什麼土匪群盜陷害台灣的主人? 沒有主權者有選票的假民主是誰之過???
還是苦口相勸;台美人在海外組織[強力的領導團隊]配合已進行中的兩條路; 可救出台灣人的阿輝伯及阿扁及所有黑名單上的台灣人。
(1) 林志昇在高等法庭的訴訟案;要求美國終止ROC對台灣的軍事佔領並支持[台灣人平民政府的成立],取代外來政權!
(2) Jeff Geer主導的TCRLO合法組織,將控告 [中國國民党在佔領區所犯的戰爭犯罪行為]或[替人權或民權受害的人伸怨並要求賠償]。
兩項法律行動都是[現在進行式],不是口號,空談或茶壺中的風暴。盼望[領導團隊]開動[了解],[推廣] 進而領導[台灣建國]。再敲警鐘;今天不做,明天將後悔。時勢造英雄! 英雄何在!

〔記者王貝林／台北報導〕嗆馬圍陳激情落幕，藍綠互推流血衝突責任，前副總統呂秀蓮昨強調，警察看到五星旗笑臉相迎，看到民眾拿國旗卻瘋狂取締，國家認同嚴重錯亂，才是爆發衝突的根源，但基層員警不會自己去做這種事，是誰錯把雞毛當令箭下的命令？往上追溯，「到底誰是馬英九的上司？」
呂秀蓮昨召開記者會，指連宋以降大動作赴中媚共，已讓本土台灣人厭惡，特別是此次陳雲林來台每天那麼多排隊巴結的餐宴，對比台灣經濟蕭條，很多人沒飯吃，更讓台灣人民無法接受。
呂秀蓮表示，即使此次發生了令人不樂見的紛擾，但這二天的情形也凸顯，若無台灣人民的支持，國共協議最後還是無法有意義發展，若北京能不錯估形勢，就會知道要尊重台灣人民心聲。
呂秀蓮並認為，此次兩岸四項協議未必真能方便所有台灣人，而空運截彎取直將減少台灣安全準備時間，海運排除國際公司參與，更會讓台灣與中國間的關係徹底國內化。
她批評，國共間本是敵我矛盾的誓不兩立，國民黨與民進黨間應屬內部矛盾，但現在卻反過來，國共團團圓圓在一起，國、民兩黨間卻如寇讎；馬應如陳雲林所說「以協商化解分歧，以合作取代對抗」，記取教訓建構協商機制有所作為。
對於蔡英文表現，呂則說，蔡英文沒選舉過，也缺乏與國民黨的對戰經驗，連續三次大型活動，蔡的表現也比她想像的有信心；可是蔡以法律人思考，認為遊行將民眾帶去又帶回即可，但遊行是政治而非法律行為，須概括承受，未來對遊行決策機制及現場指揮的靈活度，還有待改進。 ""

台北を訪れている中国側の窓口機関「海峡両岸関係協会」の陳雲林会長は５日夜、台湾の与党国民党の呉伯雄主席との夕食会に出席するため、市内のホテルを訪れました。ところが、ホテルの周辺を、中台間の急速な関係強化や陳会長の訪問に抗議する野党民進党の支持者らが取り囲み、その数は数百人に膨れ上がりました。現場周辺は、抗議する人たちと警察がにらみあう形となり、陳会長は現地時間の６日午前２時すぎまで、およそ９時間にわたってホテルから移動することができなくなりました。陳会長の今回の訪問について、中台の当局は、中国側から最も高い地位の人物が台湾を訪れる「歴史的」な出来事だとしており、経済関係の強化などを合意しています。しかし、台湾の野党は、ことし５月に馬英九政権が発足して以来、中台間の関係強化の動きが速すぎるとして警戒を強めており、陳会長の訪問先などで連日抗議活動を続けています。野党側は、陳会長が６日夕方、馬総統を表敬訪問する時間にあわせて大規模な抗議行動を呼びかけており、再び緊迫することも予想されています。 ""

'台灣亡國史 第 X 章 ─ 馬特首暗渡「陳」倉 台教會絕食護航' Nov6,08 http://tinyurl.com/6qvley
: " 話說 2008 年秋，台灣發生了中國海協會副會長張銘清以上級長官的姿態在民眾抗議聲中跌倒的事件，使得中國打壓台灣的消息重新佔滿了新聞版面，也激發了民眾的抗中熱潮。事件發燒持續到 1025 的台灣人嗆馬大遊行，抗議馬英九的賣台政策，六十萬台灣人的怒吼，對台灣政府的馬特首造成極大的壓力。尤其面對著中國海協會會長陳雲林將在 11 月初訪台與馬政府會談並簽約，馬特首擔心這股強大的反中勢力將使得簽約過程透明化而無法如期所願。
所以，在大遊行之後的某日，馬首特別召開了幕僚會議。 "

Dear Allen and All:
What a day yesterday here in the USA! It has just finally made a peaceful global revolution, purging itself of white racism and prejudices. I hope the future US President Barack H. Obama (?) would apologize and lead in purging the curse of the Western imperialist and racist colonialism, visiting and offering heart-felt regards to Hirioshima/Nagasaki and Vietnamese hospitals taking care of deformed persons, and then make a global appeal to the Chinese government for reasons and humanism.
Indeed I'm now ever more dare to have a dream of our human world, free of the threats of nukes, wars, nation-states, and capital punishment and starvation. That all peoples could be left alone and free to pursue our own dreams.

Subject: [BATA] I have a dream !
Dear all:
Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have a Dream" came true yesterday! And I also have a dream.
我有一個夢, 有一天在臺北市的街頭, 警察不再會為了溺愛中國人而對我施暴.
我有一個夢, 有一天在臺北市的飯店裏, 女警察能夠好好地握住臺灣人女議員的手, 而不是將她的手骨折斷.
我有一個夢, 有一天在唱片行裏我能夠聽到自己家鄉的歌謠, 而不需要因為有中國人在附近而必須關下鐵門迥避.
我有一個夢, 有一天在我家附近的醫院裏有人得到 SARS 的時候有中國官員可憐他們, 允許世界衛生單位探視他們.
我有一個夢, 有一天我的小孩能夠在學校用自己的母語拼音學習, 而不是被迫完全用中國式的.
我有一個夢, 有一天我的兒子能夠從豪華的中國人眷村改建經費裏分享到一些可憐的創業補助金.
我有一個夢, 有一天在臺灣的法庭裏人人平等, 檢察官司法官不會只是逮捕臺灣人的菁英, 進行一輪又一輪的白色恐怖清鄉運動.
我有一個夢, 有一天在臺灣的國會裏, 有足夠的代表為維護我的母親臺灣那奄奄一息的主權說一些話.
我有一個夢! 有一天從基隆到屏東, 國民黨不再用各種手段殘害我們, 臺灣人及臺灣人的子孫都能夠呼吸到真正自由獨立及民主的空氣!
我有一個夢! 有一天在臺灣, 人人生而平等. 臺灣人再也不是中國人的奴隸或次等公民.
Please forward all your dreams to me, I will collect and compile a list to share with everyone.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."²
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

WHITE TERROR REDUX?: FAPA asked the US to speak up in response to the ‘deterioration of human rights and democracy in Taiwan’ after recent detentions ' Charles Snyder, STAFF REPORTER IN WASHINGTON, Taipei Times, Nov2,08, Page 1: http://tinyurl.com/6pffez
: "" A prominent Taiwanese-American organization on Friday accused the Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) administration of eroding Taiwan’s democracy during his term, and charged it with conducting a spate of “politically inspired” arrests of opposition leaders over the past two weeks.
The organization, the Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) based in Washington, asked the US government to express its concern over what it called the “deterioration of human rights and democracy in Taiwan” under the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) administration of Ma.
In its biting statement, FAPA, a leading pro-green lobbying group, also recalled the days of martial law “White Terror” under earlier KMT rule.
The arrests — coming just before a visit from China’s top cross-strait negotiator, Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) Chairman Chen Yunlin (陳雲林) — have resulted in the detention of four Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) politicians and the indictment of a fifth on charges ranging from corruption and embezzlement to assault.
The latest case involved former National Security Council secretary-general Chiou I-jen (邱義仁), who was detained on Friday on suspicion of embezzling US$500,000 from a diplomatic fund.
Chiou, who is also a former deputy premier, was considered in Washington to be one of the prime diplomatic and political liaisons between the administrations of Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) and US President George W. Bush through much of the Chen administration. "
... ...
" Complaining about the Ma administration’s legal action against those four officials, FAPA also cited the Oct. 15 arrest of former interior minister Yu Cheng-hsien (余政憲) in Kaohsiung on corruption charges.
In a statement, FAPA president Bob Yang (楊英育) called the prosecutions unfair and a violation of the officials’ basic rights.
“We also question the fairness of the procedures: While one or two of the accused have been formally charged, the majority are being held incommunicado and without charge,” he said.
“This is a severe contravention of the writ of habeas corpus and a basic violation of due process, justice and the rule of law. In the meantime, the prosecutor’s offices leak detrimental information to the press. This kind of ‘trial by press’ is unacceptable,” Yang said.
In urging the US government and Congress to express “their deep concern” over the situation, Yang said, “the present cases endanger the progress made during the 21 years since the end of the Kuomintang’s [KMT] martial law in 1987. As members of the Taiwanese-American community, we believe that a return to the KMT’s ‘White Terror’ days of 1945 to 1987 should be avoided at all cost.”
Yesterday in Taipei, former vice-president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) also condemned the government for its detention of Chiou and other aides of the former president, calling the detentions a violation of human rights.
“I’ve not seen such large-scale detainments since the Kaohsiung Incident. It seems like the prosecutors detained people before finding any evidence, and I feel disturbed by such a procedure,” she said.
The Kaohsiung Incident, also known as the Formosa Incident, was an anti-government demonstration organized by Formosa Magazine on Dec. 10, 1979. The event turned into a violent confrontation, and as a result, Lu and seven other pro-democracy activists were arrested by the former KMT government.
Lu said recent developments in the allegations against former president Chen Shui-bian and his former aides were “unbelievable” to her, adding it was difficult for her to believe that what the prosecutors have said was all true.

驚聞台灣教授協會會長蔡丁貴教授為了推動公投法補正落實直接民主，在立法院
門口靜坐絕食。為此，北美洲台灣人教授協會發表下列嚴正聲明：
一、公投是普世價值，更是直接民主的落實。台灣目前的鳥籠公投法嚴重妨礙公
民行使直接民權。
二、我們認同蔡教授的看法，只要公投制度合理，國民擁有完整的直接民權，就
不用上街遊行抗議。對蔡教授在1025遊行後轉往立法院靜坐，訴求公投法補正的遠
見，本會表示贊同與欽佩。
三、我們要求在320總統競選政見中一再向選民表示台灣前途應由兩千三百萬人決
定的馬英九立刻對公投法補正的訴求給予正面回應，還台灣人民一個完整的直接民權。
台灣人民追求民主多年，依然無法落實直接民權，逼迫蔡教授 必須絕食抗議為國
人爭取基本公民權，我們深表遺憾與痛心，也認為這是國民黨長年一黨獨大的嚴重後遺
症。我們呼籲台灣人民支持公投法補正，並唾棄阻擋人民行使直接民權的政黨與政治人

02 示威遊行、絕食靜坐 — 雙管齊下 作者／黃界清
10月25日，民進党、台聯党以及全体台灣人社團，成功發動六十萬台灣人到總統
府，抗議馬政府極度無能及無恥出賣台灣主權。毫無疑問，這是自3月22日民進党總統
敗選以來，大振人心士氣的示威抗議。
這次，由今年二二八領軍「東海岸逆風行腳」的台教會會長蔡丁貴教授，以「絕食
靜坐」來對「馬政府的無能及出賣台灣主權」做最嚴肅的抗爭。蔡教授此舉，不只令人
感動，更令人心不忍！試想，若非因為有「國家主權」快被出賣的急迫牲，平常祥和而
常常面帶笑容的阿貴教授，為何要以自我折磨的強烈方式，來指出台灣問題的核心，及
解決問題的根本辦法呢？
以目前台灣險惡局勢，要救台灣，保衛台灣，絕對不是只有一種方法。單單以公開
合法抗爭來說，大型示威遊行和小型絕食靜坐，兩者非但不相抵觸，雙管齊下，可以達
到群眾運動迫使政府改革的最高境界。
可是，馬先生己經決定，不因示威遊行拆換無能的行政首長，並且仍然要歡迎中共
陳雲林訪台。人民若不滿意，只有罷免馬先生。罷免馬先生有兩種方法：其一是透過立
法院，其二是長期抗爭再度實現政黨輪替。目前立委不會罷免馬先生，所以只有長期抗
爭一途。長期抗爭包括大型示威遊行與小型絕食靜坐，只要持之有恆，政黨輪替之前，
必可預先達到逼迫馬先生拆換無能的行政首長，杜絕馬政府企圖出賣台灣主權。
就陳雲林訪台來說，短期間內，民進党和台聯党，應該持績發動大型示威遊行，讓
中共陳雲林知道，台灣人不歡迎他，讓馬先生知道，台灣人反對他。這種大型示威遊
行，可以在台北、台中、高雄輪流舉行，以求達到全台灣反對「一中」的無理訴求。如
此趁著10月25日大遊行的氣勢，提高台灣意識，對抗中共併吞。從長期來看，因為馬先
生是法定總統，中共陳雲林訪台之後，他照樣可以用各種方式出賣台灣。立委不罷免馬
先生，人民只好罷免立委，或是修改不合理公投法。
不論是罷免不稱職的立委, 或是修改不合理公投法（包括罷免總統），到立法院抗
爭是理所當然。這也是台教會「從總統府示威抗議到立法院絕食靜坐」的原因與訴求。
台教會會長蔡丁貴教授，選擇到立法院絕食靜坐，抗議「鳥籠」公投門檻，來指出台灣
問題的核心及解決問題的根本辦法，拉長示威遊行戰線，以身作則, 令人感佩。蔡教授
絕食靜坐第五天己經超過110小時，我們不能光眼看他這樣倒下去。他說，如果年青人
出來接捧，他會帶領大家共同長期靜坐，不再絕食。準此，愛護蔡教授的年青朋友，請
趕快出來保護蔡教授的生命，支持長期靜坐抗爭。只有在立法院、外交部、經濟部，做
長期靜坐抗爭，配合大型示威遊行，互相支援群眾運動，才有可能保衛台灣.
在此建議，只要60萬人的千分之一，也就是6百人，包括所有台灣人社團負責人，
出來支援蔡教授，不但可以保護蔡教授的生命，繼續來做長期靜坐抗爭，而且透過大家
合作，大團結，振士氣，短期抗議中共陳雲林訪台，長期保衛台灣主權，一定成功在
望。

03 站出來吧 不能讓2008成為1895 作者／葉治平
中國海協會會長陳雲林來台進行統戰，國民黨強先佔下圓山飯店附近，以及凱達格
蘭大道的路權，不讓台灣民眾有對陳雲林抗議的機會。台南市議員王定宇對張銘清嗆
聲，遭檢方以破紀錄的速度起訴，並求刑一年兩個月。馬政府的這些做法，讓人聯想起
1895年的清朝政府。
馬關條約簽定後，台灣舉島激憤，人民鳴鑼罷市，誓死要保衛家園。仕紳們則呈血
書向清庭求情，表示台灣「無負朝庭」皇帝「何忍棄之」？但大清皇帝毫無所動，除了
冷冷一句「京畿為重，邊陲為輕」，更下令「交割時要須極力保護(日本人)，諭百姓切
勿滋生事端」。不但要保護敵人，還把人民保鄉衛土的行動當作「滋生事端」。這種心
態與做法，在馬政府中也可一覽無遺。代表一千多飛彈的中國官員大剌剌地登門入室，
來台進行統戰，馬政府不但出動七千警力來保護，還以「依妨害秩序」嚴懲向張銘清嗆
聲的王定宇議員。這豈不就是1895年清朝割台政府的翻版？
清朝的「台灣巡撫」唐景菘在人民逼迫下成立了「台灣民主國」。但雖說要「獨立
自主」，卻又將國號定為「永清」，奉中國為「正朔」，要「遙作屏蕃，氣脈相通，無
異中土」。相同的，馬英九迫於選票須要，也聲稱要保衛台灣主權，但卻又主張「終極
統一」，而且自降國格，把台灣當成中國的「台灣地區」，不敢自稱總統，儼然成為中
國的「台灣特首」。今古對照，1895的清朝官吏和2008的國民黨總統竟是如此相似，同
一類人物，同一般心態，同一種作法。
台灣民主國的人民決心抗敵，但日軍登陸不到三天，心向「祖國」的大總統隨即落
跑，逃回中國，留下手無寸鐵的台灣人民，以血肉身驅來保衛家園，寫下了壯烈的乙未
抗日史。如果這段歷史可做為借鏡，那麼台灣人就絕對不能信任「反獨漸統」的馬區
長。如果我們能從歷史中學到教訓，那麼在陳雲林來台期間，所有台灣人就不能沉默，
必須展現集體意志，發出怒吼，向國共兩黨嗆聲，警告國民黨不得出賣台灣，更正告全
世界，台灣主權獨立，絕不是中國能妄想染指。
台灣已經到了危急存亡之秋，站出來吧，朋友！

04 絕食靜坐：要求落實直接民主 作者／李欣芬
六十萬的台灣人民在星期六走上街頭，參加「一○二五反黑心、顧台灣大遊行」，
台灣教授協會(TAUP)與北美洲台灣人教授協會(NATPA)參加了第二大隊。
台灣教授協會的會長蔡丁貴教授與副會長劉重義教授自然帶隊先行，而他們的夫人
黃蘭蕙與蔡和吟女士則在凱道擺攤義賣T恤，她們賣到晚上十點多才收攤；蘭蕙姊返家
後卻久等丈夫一夜未歸，隔天看新聞才曉得，原來蔡會長自遊行結束後便在立院門口絕
食靜坐，心疼丈夫健康的她，在電話中泣不成聲。
我不禁想起了二000年，那一年我加入台教會，蔡丁貴教授擔任秘書長，舉辦活動
時常見他帶頭，活動結束時也是他在善後。印象深刻的是二00一年一月份，立院要表決
核四案，本土社團發起「看守非核家園30小時」的活動，夜晚時面對記者先生與小姐所
丟下的滿地菸蒂，獨見蔡教授蹲下撿拾，見狀不忍心，我便也跟在後頭撿，足足30分鐘
之久；隔天活動結束了，卻見他獨自一人收拾著台教會的旗幟與標語，不忍心我又上前
幫忙，並跟隨著坐計程車，將物品運回辦公室。
接著，二00一年的二二八，我前往宜蘭山上紀念林宅血案的那三位祖孫時，恰巧與
黃蘭蕙女士同車，她談起先生蔡丁貴教授留學美國康乃爾大學(Cornell Uni.)時，第一
年由於家眷還未前去，他常到別人家中作客，便立志一旦太太來了，也要常在家中招待
台灣去的留學生；日後果然他們常在星期六設宴款待同鄉，並暢談時事，而經常她因忙
碌了一整天的採買與烹飪後，累得先行休息，隔天早上起來卻見餐桌收拾乾靜，並且碗
盤清洗完畢，整齊排列。
今年的立委選前一星期， TAUP與NATPA一起在北中南五所大學前分發公投傳單，蔡
丁貴會長以身作則，每天都報到；接著，二月份時兩會一起前往東海岸進行「逆風向前
行」的苦行，蔡會長夫妻第一名，參加完全程，並且常見蔡會長忍著腰痛走在後頭，堅
持不肯搭車。
蔡丁貴會長絕食靜坐的訴求兩點：一、修正鳥籠公投法，二、立委選舉合理化。
蔡會長要求立院進行公投法補正，落實直接民主，他表示，他會絕食到立院同意修
法為止，其實在一○二五大遊行前，他就提出這樣的訴求，可惜未成為遊行主軸；他指
出，若公投法不補正，仍持續限縮人民的直接民主，台灣人永無出頭之日，所以才在遊
行結束後跑來立院絕食靜坐；另外他也指出，立委選舉制度如果不改革，立院將永遠是
國民黨獨大，這是不合理的。
於此，我想呼籲台教會會員，請大家不要讓會長孤單絕食靜坐，目前雖有副會長劉
重義教授及許文輔博士在旁陪坐，但希望大家能前往立法院門口關心，在旁發表演講也
可以，並歡迎民眾前往打氣。

00) 2. 'My response to [Taiwan is part of China], what is yours???' Cheng-Kuang Chen, Sep29,08 12:13:24PM, To:SBTA2
: " 加拿大不承認台灣是中國領土的理由 ...
在60年代，中共便為此鬧了個國際笑話。中國外交部要求加拿大承認台灣是中國的領土。加拿大提出5點理由反駁﹕
（一） 台灣並非加拿大所擁有之領土，所以加拿大沒有權利承認台灣主權歸屬於誰。如果是加拿大所擁有的北極圈諸小島與中國有爭議，加拿大才有權利承認其歸屬。這是從羅馬法以來的所有權法理。國際法當然也依此原則適用。
（二） 沒有任何國際法理論使加拿大有「權利」承認、或有「義務」承認與它無任何關係的台灣的主權歸屬。中國要求加拿大做這種承認毫無道理。
（三） 即使加拿大承認台灣是中國一部份，實際上並無任何法效果或意義。因為加拿大國民、飛機、船舶要進入台灣，拿北京政權所發簽證根本無效，還是要向台灣當局申請簽證。承認其對台灣實效統治，這等於是立刻又以具體行為否認台灣是中國的一部份。
（四） 加拿大若在國際條約中承認台灣是中國的一部份，依條約必須履行原理，加拿大勢必派兵攻佔台灣，負責把台灣交給中國以履行條約。這是多麼荒謬的一件事。
（五） 台灣如果的確屬於中國，則北京政權又何必要求各國承認。例如，海南島是中國領土不可分割的一部份，中國根本不必要求他國承認。反之，台灣若非中國領土，中國即使到處去要求他國承認，實際上也沒有國際法效果。如果台灣是有紛爭的領土，中國也應該去找與該領土有關的當事國交涉及承認才有國際法效果。強迫無關的第三國承認是毫無意義。
說得中國外交部啞口無言，『十億』口莫辨。自此之後，中國只能嘴巴嚷嚷，不敢再要求加拿大承認台灣是中國的領土。 論理充分...提出理由的加拿大老兄顯然受過嚴謹邏輯訓練... "

: "" Diversity marks the work of Taiwan's young artists.
It is not easy to find a thread connecting artwork as disparate as the oozing, fleshy oil paintings of Yang Chang-ling, the new media work of Kuo I-chen and Huang Pei-ying's large installations of corrugated cardboard or foam pipe insulation.
Still, the three have a lot in common. They are all based in Taipei but were born outside the capital, and they are all around 30 years old. They have master's degrees in art and have chosen to pursue careers as contemporary artists--something not as common as it might seem, even among graduates of the most prestigious art schools. They also embody a new art trend in Taiwan that focuses on individual experience.
J.J. Shih, executive director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (MOCA Taipei), estimates that only 5 percent of art school graduates go on to a career in contemporary art. Others become teachers, writers, designers, or--especially for students of new media art--computer programmers. That is beginning to change as the last couple of years have seen Taiwan's market for contemporary art finally leap into the 21st century. Global interest in China's explosive art market has turned the art world's focus eastward, and countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan are benefiting.
Not only are local artists drawing more attention from overseas, but Taiwanese buyers are increasingly searching for new, affordable talent closer to home. Though Yang, Kuo and Huang do not express much interest in the fickle, profit-driven art market, they have all gained from it to varying extents. " Continues below.
[[ So, "Yang, Kuo and Huang":---------
1/3: Yang Chang-ling, or Chang-ling,
"father, Yang Wei-chung, is a well-known modernist painter" ]]:
" At 33, Yang Chang-ling is the oldest of the bunch. It is hard to find anyone involved in the local art scene who does not know the outgoing, energetic Chang-ling--who goes by just his given name--and his Francis Bacon-influenced Pork Belly series. But despite signing with Impressions Art Gallery in 2007 and selling out two shows earlier this year, his thoughts are still focused on creation. "I do what I feel like doing; it's not like going to the office. Every day I have my own challenges with my art, and I try to meet them," he says matter-of-factly.
Chang-ling has been interested in art for as long as he can remember. He was born in Hualien and moved to Danshuei when he was a child. His father, Yang Wei-chung, is a well-known modernist painter. When Chang-ling was a child, his father hung blank sheets of paper around the bath to draw on, and he says art still gives him a "slippery, bubbly, wet feeling." While it might be easy to draw too direct a connection with the dripping, sensual forms that dominate his paintings, they do evoke the shiny lather of soap on a naked body.
His father gave him his first exhibit when he was 21 years old. He had already been painting in oils for nine years when "A Joint Exhibition of Yang Wei-chung and Yang Chang-ling" opened in Hualien in 1996. Later the same year he left to study art in France.
At the time, Paris was not a place for contemporary painting. Chang-ling experimented with more fashionable media like performance and video art. For example, he blindfolded himself, attached wires to his head and strung them across the sidewalk like antennae, hoping to "feel the people walking by."
As odd as it might sound, this was not very groundbreaking for an art student in the 1990s. But after six years without picking up a brush, Chang-ling did something that really raised a few eyebrows at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Art de Paris--he started painting again. Chang-ling readily admits that paint is a traditional medium for a contemporary artist, but says it is challenging nonetheless. "People have been painting for tens of thousands of years. You could say it's the most difficult medium to work with," he says.
Pork Bellies
After returning to Taiwan in 2004, Chang-ling rented part of a small abandoned factory in the hills north of Taipei and began the series he is still working on today. The walls of his studio are filled with works from his Pork Belly series. Books of Chinese scroll paintings lay around, and many of his works include animals, plants and landscapes reminiscent of ancient ink paintings.
A formal reference to traditional Chinese painting is also evident in Chang-ling's expressionist, brush-slinging style. He takes obvious pleasure in pushing, splashing and smearing paint around a canvas. This runs counter to the flat use of acrylics and strong lines preferred by many younger Taiwanese painters, whose work--heavily influenced by comic books and cutesy Japanese art--often looks like something one might expect to see printed on a child's backpack. In this regard, Chang-ling really stands out.
MOCA Taipei's J.J. Shih points out that a generation ago there was a feeling of social change in the air that is just not around now. Martial law was repealed in Taiwan in 1987 and mainland China's crackdown in Tiananmen Square came just two years later: History was in the making. The big news this year is a change in government that people hope will boost the economy--which would certainly help artists, but not necessarily inspire them. "There used to be so much going on that local Taiwanese artists felt like they had to respond to something," Shih says. "But newer artists don't look outside, they look inside. And maybe there's not so much inside," he laughs. "Just manga, or TV."
While Chang-ling's paintings are not void of social commentary, he is not obviously confronting political or environmental issues and says that he prefers to leave the interpretation to the viewer. " Continues below.
[[ 2/3: Kuo I-chen, "met kinetic artist Tao Ya-lun" ]]:
" A New Generation
Kuo I-chen does not have the art background of Chang-ling. Kuo, 29, was born in Ciaotou, a small town just outside Kaohsiung City that is now the last stop on the southern city's rapid transit system. His father died in a car accident when Kuo was a child; he credits his mother with encouraging him to enter drawing contests when he was young, although during his school years Kuo was more likely to dream of being a comic book illustrator than a fine artist. He is polite, handsome, a little shy and about two-thirds finished with his compulsory military service.
In 1999, he tested into the multimedia design program at Taipei's Shih Chien University, but quickly found that the school's structure was not for him. "They were going one way and I was going another ... I had to pass the Taipei Fine Arts Museum [TFAM] to get to class and a lot of times I'd just decide to go to the museum instead," he says.
Around this time Kuo met kinetic artist Tao Ya-lun, whose work includes contraptions that move, sometimes imperceptibly. For example, Tao's Black from 2000 consists of a dark, larva-shaped balloon that slowly inflates and deflates when viewers trip sensors in the gallery. Influenced by Tao and the exhibits at TFAM, Kuo jumped headfirst into contemporary art.
He started making pieces that used media including video, sound and machinery to describe his inner world. The more he thought about art, the more he wanted to inject his personal feelings--loneliness at having left his hometown for Taipei and at having lost his father--into his works.
On Tao's recommendation, Kuo applied and tested into the Graduate School of Art and Technology at Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) in 2003, despite not having finished his undergraduate studies.
Unsettling Feeling
In 2004, Kuo showed a piece at TFAM that not only melded new media and site-specific installation, but also said something about himself that touched a psychological nerve with viewers. "I thought of it in 2002," he says. "I'd skip class at the university and every time I went to the museum I could hear planes [landing at nearby Songshan Airport]."
"When they were flying over the building it ... gave me an unsettling feeling ... There were times outside the museum when a plane's shadow would cover mine and I felt like they were going through my body and taking me somewhere."
Invade the TFAM from 2004 is a simple but powerful piece. Viewers watched planes arrive through the west windows of the museum. When a plane flew overhead, the menacing shadow of a passing plane was projected on the museum's ceiling, accompanied by the recorded sound of rumbling jet engines. When the projected shadow had crossed the ceiling, the actual plane could be seen out the eastern windows as it continued its descent to the airport.
A year later Kuo won the Taipei Arts Award Grand Prize and became the youngest artist ever to represent Taiwan at the Venice Biennale. Later the same year he signed with Galerie Grand Siecle in Taipei, meaning he no longer needed to take on freelance design projects--not bad for a young artist who was still a student at TNUA.
Howard Chen, a 37-year-old artist and curator of the exhibition department at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts at TNUA, has been part of the local art scene for more than a decade. He says that experimental artists have spent the last 10 or 15 years making art that was not easily assimilated into the art market. Now, younger artists are born straight into a scene where "experimental art" is not really experimental anymore. "These artists around 30 years old came of age with Windows," he says. "We grew up writing letters and they grew up typing e-mails. The background is different."
Technology, travel and disappearance find their way into many of Kuo's works. For Losing Contact in 2005, he tied a wireless video camera to eight large balloons and released them from a rooftop in Taipei's bustling Simending district. Images from the camera showed the city's streets slowly shrink to a grid. When the camera was carried two or three kilometers into the sky, the reception broke up into static.
"It was about losing contact with friends, family and society," Kuo says. As for the camera--weighing about a kilogram--that was last seen floating hundreds of meters above Simending: "I 'lost contact,'" he says.
Kuo's most recent work was included in Mutation, an exhibit that showed simultaneously at several venues in Taipei in 2007 and for which he made the shortlist of this year's Taishin Arts Award. One piece from the exhibit, X, comprises X-rays of Kuo's body--12 in all, taken in a single trip to a hospital--digitally rearranged to form a creature that looks like the product of radioactive mutation.
When Kuo finishes his military service in November, he will be free to concentrate solely on his work for the first time in his life. " Continues below.
[[ 3/3: Huang Pei-ying ]]:
" Strange Biology
Taoyuan-born Huang Pei-ying, 31, works with everyday materials not commonly displayed in galleries and museums, often challenging the idea of how a traditional art space should be filled.
Viewers might get the impression that Huang's hometown--one of northern Taiwan's most industrial cities--has something to do with her choice of materials, but she says her use of non-traditional media came to her in a rather quotidian way.
Taiwan's education system often divides children up, according to skill and interest, at a very young age. Huang says the system suited her well because she was interested in art. "My mother liked me a lot because if she just gave me a pen and paper, I'd keep quiet," she laughs.
The elementary, junior and senior high schools she attended all emphasized art, especially painting. After high school she entered the Department of Fine Arts at Tunghai University in Taichung. "That's where my mind was opened to contemporary art," she says. "I learned that just being a good painter didn't necessarily make you a good artist."
One of her teachers at Tunghai asked the students to make a piece using cardboard. Others completed the project and went back to more traditional media, but something about the material caught Huang's attention. When she peeled away the top layer of thick cardboard, the corrugated curves and the spaces underneath reminded her of something biological.
By the time she had finished her undergraduate degree at Tunghai and graduate studies at TNUA, Huang was buying large stacks of cardboard straight from the factory, cutting them to shape and stacking thousands of layers to create cave-like spaces
