      <title>Germany: Justin Bieber leaves pet monkey trapped behind bars </title>

      <description>Beliebers won't want to believe it, but Canadian heart throb Justin Bieber will have to irrevocably abandon his pet monkey Mally to a German zoo if he does not send someone or go himself to retrieve the pet from a &quot;secret place&quot; by midnight tonight. Mally was left behind in Munich by Bieber after a concert in March, and Bieber has been charged with a fine of tens of thousands of dollars to cover the costs for the monkey's upkeep, including food and medical costs.
The capuchin monkey, whose full name was O.G. Mally (Original Gangsta Mally) before he was renamed &quot;Bubele&quot; by the German shelter, was originally seized by customs officials when it was discovered that the 19 year-old singing sensation lacked the correct paperwork for him. Mally was quarantined by German officials and held at the Munich-Reim animal shelter when he was just 14 weeks old. A spokesperson for the animal shelter said that the monkey had been taken from his mother at too young an age and was in need of veterinary care.
&quot;I don't think that Justin Bieber really took care of him and therefore I don't think he misses him too much,&quot; said Sofie Hoermann, a keeper at the animal shelter.
German officials from the animal sanctuary said that Mally had been clinging to a toy stuffed cat during his stay there. He initially needed to be fed by hand hourly since he could not eat on his own, with his favourite food being grapes. Tons of Twitters devoted to Mally have sprung up since he was gifted to and then taken from Bieber. Mally will join a group of capuchin monkeys outside of Bavaria if he is not picked up tonight.
Mally was presented to Bieber as a gift for his 19th birthday on March 1 from the rapper Jamal &quot;Mally Mall&quot; Rashid. Shortly before Mally was confiscated, Bieber posted pictures of them together on his Instagram account. This is not Bieber's first controversial pet. He made headlines when he gave his pet hamster, PAC, to a fan after a concert in New York City. The hamster died three months later, allegedly of renal failure.
Meanwhile, Bieber is expected to perform his new song &quot;Take You&quot; at the Billboard Awards on Sunday in dedication to his on-again-off-again girlfriend, pop starlet Selena Gomez. The two were spotted clubbing together in Los Angeles at Supperclub on Tuesday night. Gomez will sing her new single &quot;Come and Get It&quot; at the Billboard Awards, but it will be too late for it to serve as a message to Bieber from Mally.</description>

      <title>Germany: Neo-Nazi murder trial begins in &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Munich&lt;/span&gt;</title>

      <description>The last surviving member of an extreme far-right cell accused of a series of racist murders arrived in Munich, Monday for the first day of her trial. Beate Zschaepe, 38, is accused of being part of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), whose members allegedly killed 10 people between 2000 and 2007. Eight of the victims were of Turkish origin; the other victims were a Greek man and a German policewoman. The NSU aimed to terrorize minorities and coerce them into leaving the country.

Zschaepe faces life in prison if convicted of complicity in the murders. She is also accused of involvement in a spate of armed robberies, arson and two bomb attacks. She denies the charges.

The cell was only detected when Zschaepe handed herself in to authorities in November 2011, following the discovery by police of the bodies of two men believed to be her accomplices. Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Boenhardt both committed suicide after a failed bank robbery. Their deaths led to the discovery of a gun used in the murders, as well as a video showing the victims' corpses.

Outrage was caused by the fact that the NSU has been able to operate undetected for so many years. The police had wrongly accused Turkish mafia of the murders, leading some to claim authorities were complacent about the crimes of right-wing extremists. The head of Germany's domestic intelligence service was eventually forced to resign. Chancellor Angela Merkel called the scandal a &quot;disgrace for Germany&quot; and put forward the idea of a ban on far-right organisations such as the National Democratic Party (NPD).

A number of Turkish community groups and bodies such as Antifaschtische Aktion (Antifa) protested outside the Munich courthouse ahead of Zschaepe's arrival. The trial was initially due to begin on April 17, but was moved to May 6 due to controversy surrounding media access.</description>

      <title>Perpetrators of the Holocaust: Alleged Auschwitz Guard Arrested</title>
      <pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 01:25:45 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>A man thought to have been a guard at the Auschwitz death camp has been arrested in Germany on suspicion of having assisted in the mass murder carried out there, the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office said on Monday.

A doctor had examined 93-year-old Hans Lipschis and found him to be fit for detention and a judge remanded him in custody. &quot;We will try to ascertain what he did in Auschwitz,&quot; a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said.

Lipschis is believed to have been in Auschwitz from autumn 1941 until it was liberated in early 1945. He was added to the Most Wanted Nazi War Criminals list kept by the Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem in April. The Wiesenthal Center welcomed the arrest.

&quot;This is a very positive step, we welcome the arrest, I hope this will only be the first of many arrests, trials and convictions of death camp guards,&quot; the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Efraim Zuroff told AFP news agency.

Lipschis told Welt am Sonntag newspaper in April that he had only been a cook in Auschwitz. But investigators said he was &quot;under strong suspicion of having supported the murders in the concentration camp,&quot; the office said in a statement.

More than 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered in Auschwitz.

The prosecutors office has been investigating him since November 2012. He was arrested because authorities believed he might leave the country. He has a daughter in the US, German media reported.

According to information obtained by the German news agency DPA, Lipschis was a member of the SS &quot;Death's Head&quot; unit that ran the camp. He later worked as a cook for the SS adminstration.

Born in Lithuania, Lipschis emigrated to the US in 1956 and settled in Chicago. He was deported in 1982 because he hadn't told US authorities about his past in the SS. He moved to Germany in 1983 and has lived in Aalen, in south-western Germany, since then.

&quot;Charges against him are being prepared,&quot; said the prosecutor's office.

 Late Push on War Crimes 

The arrest followed news last month that Germany's central office for investigating Nazi war crimes had launched a major push to bring Nazi death camp guards to justice and  had obtained a list of 50 former Auschwitz guards  still living in Germany.

The Central Office of the Judicial Authorities for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes said it had received the list of names of Auschwitz guards from the museum at the memorial site. The office is now checking which of the men, most of whom were likely to have been members of the SS, could stand trial.

Schrimm's office is exploiting a recent re-interpretation of German criminal law in order to bring to justice people who were small cogs in  the Holocaust  machine -- men and women who had hitherto been spared prosecution because they couldn't be proven to have committed specific crimes, and could hide behind the argument that they were following orders.




Prosecutions have been made easier by the precedent set by the trial of Ukrainian-born  John Demjanjuk,  found guilty by a Munich court in May 2011 and sentenced to five years in jail for being an accessory to the murder of 28,060 Jews while he was a guard at Sobibor in occupied Poland.

Since the Demjanjuk trial, prosecutors no longer need to establish culpability in specific murders to secure a conviction. Having been a guard is now seen as proof enough of having assisted in murder.

The crucial piece of evidence against Demjanjuk was his SS identity card from Sobibor. He died in a nursing home in the southern Bavarian town of Bad Feilnbach in March 2012, after being released pending his appeal.


 Hans Lipschis, a 93-year-old thought to have been a guard at Auschwitz, was arrested in Germany on Monday. The Lithuanian-born man, who was added to the Simon Wiesenthal Center's most wanted list last month, says he was only a cook. But prosecutors believe he supported the killing in his role as a guard.

      <title>Containing China - Militarily &amp;amp; Economically. </title>
      <pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 23:13:39 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>China is too big for its shoes, we all know that. For a 3rd world country with barely a fraction of its lands and people being urbanized, China assumes too much power with its sheer bluster.

It is not uncommon, Hitler in the 1930's was not leading a super powerful Germany, when it made the pacifist League of Nations and a weak willed European council of states accede to his demands. And it was through these concessions that he built up Nazi Germany to what it is.

We pride ourselves in not learning lessons from the past, whereas it seems the enemy always uses tried and tested techniques to built it self up.

A strong assertive China is not in the interests of any nation in the world. Not the Western Allies or the Russians or the regional super power India or the Asian economic power houses. A strong China is not even good for the Chinese, who are being ground to the dust by the communist boots.

Support for N. Korea, Iran, and every rogue nation in the world, slyly building up &quot;ring of pearls&quot; extending from Laos, Burma, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran to control what is arguably the most vital shipping routes connecting the far east to Europe, China is following a policy that is clearly expansionist.

And what did Hitler do in the beginning ... he did not openly march in to warfare to garner resources. He utilized age old territorial and ethnic claims to bolster himself, Studetenland is case and point. Similarly China is doing that on a much larger scale.

China has territorial dispute with every single neighbor. And it claims territories based on mystical propagandist rhetoric which seems to be the hall mark of totalitarian regimes. 

The only exception being Tajikistan, which ceded more than 1% of its national land mass to China, or roughly 1000 Sq. Kms. Now this was AFTER China signed MoUs (Memoranda of Understanding)
with its Central Asian neighbors arising from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, viz. Russia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan in 1991. China re-evaluated its greed for land, and in this case the pressure worked with Tajikistan, leading to a 2001 agreement and finally a 2011 hand over of the land mass to China.

China has lately taken to very aggressive posturing with its neighbors in the recent few years. Senkaku Islands in Japan, South China Sea islands controlled by Vietnam, Phillipines, etc and most recently South Tibet controlled by India.

In the cases of Senkaku Island and South China sea, there was aggressive posturing and rhetoric, without any active military action. However in the case of India, China has moved forward and established military bases deep within Indian territory, 20 Kms actually. But given the rugged mountainous terrain, the Chinese bases with the advantage of height control over 750 Kms of Indian territory and the vital Karakorum pass - the life line of that region, which connects the 3 hostile neighbors, India, Pakistan and China.

While Vietnam, Philippines and Japan have a sense of national pride, India, although technically the most militarily powerful, given its weak and corrupt government, has actually done nothing to reclaim its lost lands other than hold &quot;Flag waving exercises&quot; which actually is Indian Soldiers waving white flags at the enemy and hollering to get their attention. Its not a joke, but a true statement.

Controlling / containing China is not hard. Let us consider the liabilities China has at this time:

1) A very large population, with a skewed distribution of wealth and education. The southern port cities are wallowing in wealth, while the hinterlands are still agricultural and backward. 

2) An economy bereft of imagination, just mindless manufacturing. The largest human migration actually happens during the Chinese Lunar new year, when Chinese factory workers take a break for 1 month from their sweat shops to go to their villages in the north. If these workers come back and have no jobs, they pose the most significant threat to China, since they will be in the southern cities, they have been exposed to the &quot;good life&quot; and &quot;reality&quot; and are semi - weaned off the communist propaganda teat. And they have the ability to rouse the hitherto placated hinterlands, which remained completely silent during the 1989 Beijing uprising aka the &quot;Tinanmen square protests&quot;.

3) A skewed and unhealthy male to female sex ratio, due to the one family, one child policy, which led to mass abortion of female babies.

4) Dangerous allies - North Korea, Iran, which instead of bolstering China's reputation and economy, actually subtract from it.

5) A very huge thirst for energy, which cannot be sustained from within. 

6) A relatively weak naval force. Chinese Navy is a joke, their only naval asset worth even considering is their anti ship missile. But they are modernizing at a furious pace.

7) A very centralized command and control structure, which is dependent on propaganda and rhetoric. 

 
The question which is most intriguing, why is China going out of its way to antagonize its neighbors with its land claims? 

Just like North Korea's recent tantrums, it is mostly meant for domestic consumption. It is a true and tested tactic, if you want to placate your own masses and divert their attention, create a bogeyman foreign enemy to unite them under your banner.

Given the afore mentioned 7 points and the world economic slow down of 2008, and a recent change in Chinese leadership, the new Communist party boss is in the process of establishing his authority over the masses.

It is of little surprise thus, that the latest debacle with India is happening as I write this, barely 17 days prior to a high level visit by none less than the Chinese Premier himself to New Delhi on May 20th, 2013.

Most likely these debacles will slowly peter out, but with each incursion and with each claim, China is flexing its theoretical muscle while we watch with bated breath, waiting for them to make the move.

Like in any sport, or any debate, one should NEVER leave the opening move and thus control to the opponent. And statecraft is not a blind rush to address leaks where it happens, but rather a careful assessment of SWOT : Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat with due consideration of strategic benefits vs tactical gains.

The solution for India vis a vis the Chinese land grab in Southern Tibet lies not in the Himalayan mountains, wherein sheer logistics would make it too expensive a proposal to adequately address the issue. While China has for years worked to build its infrastructure in the mountains, India has barely started and the Indian army is honestly not a match for the People' Red Army. 

Or for Japan, where in the control of a tiny island very close to its own shores is under threat.

The key to this problem lies in the South China sea.

China is in desperate need of oil, and energy. And it needs to unload its mass of cheaply manufactured goods to the Western Nations. And some how both these factors coincide at the same patch of waters, which we know as the South China sea. Rich in oil reserves and a vital naval route for cargo ships, it is central to China in terms of importance.

India has its national oil company, the ONGC - Videsh (Oil &amp;amp; Natural Gas Corporation - International) already exploring these waters, and it has the strongest Naval fleet in Asia, next only to Russia - which maintains its Vladivostok fleet, but is hampered due to economic constrains and since it is not a all year port given its northern location. 

If India agrees on a &quot;Protection&quot; deal with the South China Sea claimants, viz. Phillipines, Vietnam, et al, and positions its blue water navy in these waters, it effectively catches China with its shorts and curlies.

Same applies to the USA, which however does not enjoy the good will that India does, with Vietnam in particular.

A joint, India, US and Japanese collaboration in the South China sea, with maritime Patrols would contribute to greater control over China, compared to any bull shit defense and military build up. 

We have to remember, that when we press down on an over inflated water balloon, although we might apply pressure at one point, the effects of the pressure are transmitted to the other side, and ultimately leads to the breakage at the weakest point.

This is strategy.

Controlling the South China sea, not only controls the potential Oil and Natural gas resource which China craves and indeed needs to sustain its very existence, but it controls the shipping routes from the middle east which supplies the energy to China. A bit of that pressure will be eased with the building of the pipeline from Iran through Pakistan in to China. So the time to act is now.

Also, given the dependence of &quot;Off loading&quot; cheap manufactured goods, China needs these water ways. If the factories remain shut for more than a month, there will be a revolution. The people in China are in a precarious state. And there is only so much control you can exercise with cults of personality and rhetoric. If the Northern workers, without wives (given the skewed sex ratio) are idle, and with their new education and knowledge are denied their meager earnings, they will rise. And they will rise in the nerve centers of the south. And they will instigate their brethren in the hinterlands. And, the educated &quot;intelligentsia&quot; in the south, will support this revolution, since like the Czech and Slovak republics, wherein the Czechs saw the Slovaks as a drain on their earnings, the Southerners will want to keep their money and assume the role of employers, rather than benefit providers to the communist teat. Also, with greater exposure to Western media, they know what they are missing. 

But these ideas can work in the immediate present. Please do note, the oil pipeline from Iran to China, and the massive modernization drive of the People's Naval forces, will render this idea unusable in the next few years.

As with Hitler, we think in retrospect, that he should have been stopped in Munich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeasement). Let us not make that mistake and let another monster grow, before it gets too big for the good of the world.
