Bund Deutscher Osten, BDO – niemiecka, nazistowska organizacja powstała 26 maja 1933 w Poczdamie, podporządkowana NSDAP, o charakterze rewizjonistycznym i antypolskim. Zrzeszała głównie Niemców zamieszkałych w państwach wschodnioeuropejskich, organizowała dla nich pomoc i udzielała im poparcia. Organizacja ta zastąpiła działalność rozwiązanej przez nazistów Hakaty. Znakiem Bund Deutscher Osten był czarny krzyż umieszczony na białej tarczy – symbol Zakonu krzyżackiego z dodaną białą swastyką.

Cele

Celem związku było umocnienie narodu niemieckiego na wschodzie oraz praktyczna realizacja parcia na Wschód (niem. Drang nach Osten) oraz nazistowskiej polityki zyskiwania przestrzeni życiowej na wschodzie (niem. Lebensraum), którą realizowano przez germanizację mniejszości zamieszkującej tereny przedwojennych Niemiec. Przedstawiając tezy programowe kierowanego przez siebie związku stwierdził Franz Lüdtke na konferencji kierownictwa organizacji jaka się odbyła w dniach 9-11 września 1933: "Bund Deutscher Osten powstał właśnie po to, aby przygotować i wypełnić posłannictwo narodu niemieckiego na wschodzie. Musimy, jak to powiedział Führer, skierować oblicze narodu na wschód. Praca dla wschodu jest pracą narodowosocjalistyczną"

Bund Deutscher Osten był w rzeczywistości zakamuflowaną agendą NSDAP działającą na terenach pogranicznych w III Rzeszy, której celem było zwalczanie mniejszości etnicznych oraz opozycji politycznej. BDO miało działać w nazistowskim duchu z pominięciem rygorów prawnych. Po przejęciu kierownictwa przez Theodora Oberländera przedstawił on właśnie w tym świetle cel powołania Bund Deutscher Osten na łamach czasopisma "Ostland":

"Kilka słów o Bund Deutscher Osten: O wiele łatwiej byłoby od razu prowadzić robotę pograniczną w ramach Partii i w ogóle wyrzec się własnego stowarzyszenia(...) ale wiemy, że kwestie formalno-prawne odgrywają jeszcze i dziś – przede wszystkim w świecie anglosaskim- wielką rolę. Nikt nam nie uwierzy, że w Trzeciej Rzeszy istnieć może coś co pozostaje w opozycji do tej rzeszy, a mimo to jest konieczne by istniały stowarzyszenia, którym się każe robić takie rzeczy, których ani Partia ani państwo nie powinny robić. Dlatego otrzymaliśmy wyraźny rozkaz aby Bund Deutscher Osten rozbudować wielki ruch wschodu (niem. "Ostbewegung") wrośnięty w Partię i ściśle z nią zestrojony. (...) Tak więc na życzenie zastępcy Führera Bund Deutscher Osten nadal będzie prowadził swoją działalność". – Theodor Oberländer, "Ostland" nr 42 z dnia 19.10.1934

Powstanie i kierownictwo związku
Organizacja powstała w maju 1933 roku z inicjatywy ideologa narodowego socjalizmu – Alfreda Rosenberga. Współzałożycielem organizacji był niemiecki pisarz i propagandysta narodowo-socjalistyczny Alfred-Ingemar Berndt. Zarząd główny organizacji – "Kierownictwo Związkowe BDO" (BDO Bundesleitung) – znajdował się w Berlinie, oprócz tego BDO posiadała biuro krajowe we Wrocławiu ( wtedy niemiecki Breslau), obsługujące głównie rejon Śląska (BDO Landesgruppen Schlesien). Funkcję Reichsleitera Bund Deutscher Osten początkowo sprawował znany niemiecki poeta Franz Lüdtke. W latach 1933-1937 funkcję tę Rudolf Hess powierzył Theodorowi Oberländerowi. Jego zastępcą był dr. Ernst Thiele. Do Bund Deutscher Osten wcielono wszystkie inne organizacje, które zajmowały się wschodnimi kresami Niemiec łącznie z osławioną Hakatą.

W 1939 roku organizację wraz z Volksbund des Deutschtums im Ausland podporządkowano formalnie jednemu z urzędów państwowych, znajdującego się pod kierownictwem SS pod nazwą Hauptamt Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle. W sierpniu 1939 krajowe kierownictwo BDO zmieniło nazwę na "Związek Okręgów BDO" (BDO Gauverband). Organizacja BDO została rozwiązana z dniem 30 września 1943.

Struktura organizacji
Na czele związku stało kierownictwo ogólnokrajowe (niem. "Bundesleitung") z siedzibą w Berlinie, które kontrolował centralny zjazd delegatów tzw. Komitet doradczy, na czele którego stał Rudolf Hess. Przewodniczącemu podlegała sieć oddziałów prowincjonalnych tzw. "grup krajowych" (niem. "Landesgruppe"):

 Landesgruppe Ostpreussen "Grupa Prusy Wschodnie", centralą kierował dr Hans Tiska
 Untergruppe Ostpreusen-Süd z siedzibą w Olsztynie
 Untergruppe Ostpreusen-Nord-Ost z siedzibą w Tylży
 Untergruppe Westpreusen z siedzibą w Sztumie
 Pomorze Zachodnie
 Landesgruppe Schlesien
 Saksonia
 Bawarska Marchia Wschodnia

Każdej podrgupie podlegały z kolei organizacje powiatowe tzw. Kreisverbandy, którym podporządkowano koła miejscowe "Ortsverbandy". Zarówno centrala organizacji w Berlinie, jak i prowincjonalne oddziały składały się z następujących działów:

 Dział organizacyjny,
 Dział zagadnień wschodnich,
 Dział nauki i badań naukowych,
 Dział sztuki wschodnioniemieckiej,
 Dział gospodarczego i komunikacyjnego,
 Dział kultywowania niemczyzny,
 Dział pracy w rejonach granicznych,
 Dział środków propagandy wizualnej.

Działalność
Bund Deutscher Osten był jednym z głównych narzędzi propagandowych NSDAP w prowadzonej przez nazistów polityce rewizjonistycznej, zmierzającej do obalenia traktatu wersalskiego. Organizacja prowadziła akcje zwalczania organizacji polonijnych w przedwojennych Niemczech. Urządzała wiece i zebrania antypolskie, prowadziła liczne akcje germanizacyjne, m.in. wsławiła się w Niemczech zabieraniem Polakom książeczek do nabożeństwa w języku polskim i dawaniu im w zamian książeczek w języku niemieckim. Polskojęzyczne książeczki były później palone przez aktywistów BDO.

Na kolejnym kursie naukowym, jaki dla działaczy partii hitlerowskiej zorganizowało BDO w kwietniu 1935, nadprezydent prowincji śląskiej i zarazem gauleiter Śląska Josef Wagner zasygnalizował w swoim wystąpieniu konieczność uczynienia z tego rejonu "bastionu niemczyzny". Aby to osiągnąć deklarował po raz kolejny usuwanie nazwisk i nazw polskich, zniesienie polskich kazań i nabożeństw, wysyłanie matek i dzieci narodowości polskiej na pewien czas w głąb Rzeszy, zakaz wyjazdu ludności Śląska na wycieczki do Polski oraz pozyskiwanie chwiejnej ludności polskiej przez akcję dobroczynną.

BDO utrzymywała rozbudowaną siatkę informatorów na terenach pogranicza – tzw. "mężów zaufania", którzy zajmowali się śledzeniem każdego kroku członków organizacji polonijnych w Niemczech. Obserwowali oni aktywność kulturalną mniejszości polskiej oraz składali szereg donosów i raportów do władz organizacji. Aktywiści BDO m.in. sprawdzali, kto chodzi na polskie nabożeństwa w kościele, a nawet podsłuchiwali pod oknami, czy w domach ludności polskiej nie mówi się po polsku piętnując ich domy nalepkami "Hier in diesem Hause wird noch polnisch gesprochen" (pol. "W tym domu mówi się jeszcze po polsku"). Jedną z inicjatyw organizacji było także wysyłanie listów do ludności obywateli III Rzeszy posiadających polskie nazwiska z żądaniami ich zmiany na niemieckie. W 1938 roku organizacja wydała nawet w tym celu książkę pt. "Welchen Namen wählen Sie?" (pol. "Jakie nazwisko chcecie wybrać?"). Wskutek szykan do organizacji wstępowali nawet zgermanizowani Polacy z terenów pogranicznych. W Karbie w pow. bytomskim 27 stycznia 1939 roku kierownik BDO oświadczył na zebraniu, że:

Aktywiści BDO odgrywali także zasadniczą rolę w zacieraniu śladów polskości na wschodnich terenach przedwojennych Niemiec. Niszczyli wszelkie pamiątki polskiej kultury, usuwali napisy polskie na kamienicach, krzyżach przydrożnych, w kościołach i na cmentarzach. W Opolu pod naciskiem organizacji właściciel kina "Piasten" musiał zmienić nazwę na "Deli" – "Deutches Lichtspieltheater". Nadprezydent prowincji górnośląskiej w Opolu posiadał specjalne fundusze przeznaczone na usuwanie polskich napisów, o ile właściciele obiektów, na których się znajdowały, nie chcieli usunąć ich na własny koszt.

Organizacja ta chętnie wykorzystywała pseudonaukowy nurt nauki niemieckiej Ostforschung (pol. Badania Wschodu), którego celem było uzasadnianie w sposób "naukowy" przynależności terenów Europy środkowej, a szczególnie pogranicza polsko-niemieckiego oraz czesko-niemieckiego, do Niemiec. Nurt ten stał się orężem propagandowym niemieckich nacjonalistów kwestionujących państwowość Polski oraz Czech. Ostforschung była agresywnie antypolska i rzutowała na całość stosunków polsko-niemieckich wywołując w nich szereg napięć przez uzasadnianie niemieckich roszczeń terytorialnych wobec Polski. Jedną z metod oddziaływania propagandowego BDO na społeczeństwo niemieckie były cyklicznie organizowane wystawy inspirowane naukami w duchu Ostforschung. Wystawy stałe lub objazdowe otwierała ta organizacja w wielu niemieckich miastach. Największą i najbardziej znaną była zorganizowana na przełomie 1933 i 1934 Wystawa Berlińska.

Publikacje

Oficjalną gazetą BDO od maja 1933 do lipca 1939 było utworzone w 1919 w Berlinie czasopismo "Ostland", które koncentrowało się na problemach polskich i wschodnioeuropejskich, szczególnie dużo materiałów poświęcając kwestionowaniu granic międzypaństwowych ustalonych w traktacie wersalskim z 1919 (w tym polsko-niemieckiej). Mimo jawnie antypolskiego charakteru, aż do lipca 1938 "Ostland" było oficjalnie kolportowane na terytorium II Rzeczypospolitej.

Swoje publikacje wydawały także regionalne oddziały BDO. Organem prasowym Grupy Prusy Wschodnie było czasopismo "Unsere Heimat" pod redakcją Wiktora Halla.

"Talent Education" Expands Throughout the World
The popularity of the"Suzuki Method"in countries outside of Japan is epoch-making. In the United States alone nearly 300,000 children are studying through the"Suzuki Method".
"Talent Education"was first introduced to the United States in March of 1964 by the first U.S. tour group of 10 children of the"Talent Education Research Institute". However, the beginning spark took place at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. While studying at Oberlin College, Mr. Kenji Mochizuki (at present the director of the"Shinichi Suzuki Memorial Museum"in Matsumoto, Japan) presented a film of an ensemble of 500 children playing the Bach Double Violin Concerto which was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in March, 1955. The impact of this film resulted in the aforementioned first U.S. tour. It is said that this concert tour had an unprecedented impact on the American String Teachers Association. Two years later, in October of 1966 and again in 1967 the 2nd and 3rd U.S. tours took place. This tour of "10 Suzuki Children"was conducted 30 times there after up until 1994. Consequently the "Talent Education"movement gradually blossomed in the United States and from there spread throughout the world.
The first U.S. tour group of 10 children and Dr. Suzuki in 1964.
The Talent Education Philosophy has attracted more than 200 overseas students to come study in Matsumoto where the headquarters is located. After studying in Matsumoto these students have gone on to become leaders of the Suzuki Method in their own countries."Talent Education"which was born in a small oriental country grew so rapidly in many countries throughout the world that instructors from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, West Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, and Japan who attended the 3rd Talent Education World Convention which was held at the San Francisco State University in August of 1978 proposed that a world organization of the Suzuki Method be established. The International Suzuki Association was established in 1983.

New CG series, The Magic School Bus 360°, will feature a 'modernised' Ms. Frizzle.
Netflix and Scholastic Media have teamed up to launch a new original TV show based on The Magic School Bus.
The new CG series, called The Magic School Bus 360°, will be a 'reimagining' of the hit 1990s show, with 26 episodes launching on Netflix in 2016.
"The Magic School Bus revolutionised kids' television through a unique and powerful blend of entertainment and science information," said Deborah Forte, president of Scholastic Media.
"We're proud that it's become an evergreen show that children and parents continue to watch together.
The new series features a 'modernised' Ms. Frizzle along with an inventive high-tech bus that invites children on 'high-flying hijinks' that introduce the world of science.
"Scholastic Media is a powerhouse creator and producer of top-quality programming for kids and families and its flagship series like The Magic School Bus, Clifford The Big Red Dog and Goosebumps have been huge hits on Netflix in all our territories," said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix.
Airing for 18 years in more than 39 countries, the original The Magic School Bus is the longest-running kids' science series in history.


I read this book many years ago after watching the tv movie with Farrah Fawcett as the psycho mom. I enjoyed it back then. As a teen, I couldn't fathom allowing my life to get to the place where Diane found herself. Couldn't even imagine being a mom but yet couldn't imagine hurting my own children.
This would be a good one to re-read as the details have grown fuzzy through time and it was a definite page turner.
I read this book when it first came out, I think I may have to google Downs and see what has happened to her since then. Thanks for the memory tweak!

See Central Park in a New Way: Google Street View
Google Street View expanded its library of imagery yesterday by adding three new parts of the city.
People the world over will now be able to take 360-degree virtual visits to Central Park to see famous landmarks and go off the beaten track as a result of Street View's collaboration with Central Park Conservancy. It will offer an opportunity for those who would otherwise not be able to travel to new York to see the park, as well as opening up New Yorkers to parts of the park they may have otherwise not explored.
In addition, viewers will be to view panoramic images of the North and South pools at the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site, a tribute to those who perished in New York City, the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA as a result of the attacks.

EconPol Europe — European Network for Economic and Fiscal Policy Research
EconPol Policy Briefs
EconPol Policy Reports
EconPol Forum
EconPol Forum (formerly CESifo Forum) is a bi-monthly English-language journal to bring economic analysis on topics of worldwide interest along with policy advice to a broad range of policymakers and the public.
In September 2022 the CESifo Forum was restructured into four sections under the new EconPol brand. The first, Policy Debate of the Hour, recognizes the constantly evolving nature of policy challenges, focusing on the most pressing issues of the times. Leading researchers are invited to share their insights and policy conclusions. The Economic Policy and its Impact section assesses economic policies and develops robust evidence for their optimal design and implementation. In the Institutions Across the World section, contributors focus on the key role that institutional design plays in shaping socio-economic outcomes, often by comparing institutions across economic and political systems. Finally, Big Data-Based Economic Insights presents articles that glean economic policy advice from the exploitation of large, complex datasets.

Read more about Climate Change: Greening the Economy by Green Finance?
The financial sector may play a central role in climate change. This is because, ideally, climate policy measures create important incentives for investors throughout the globalized world to redirect their capital in favor of a cleaner production and thus lower emissions. That is why climate policy must consider the link between the real sector and the financial sector. This transition will not happen by itself. It requires targeted financing measures. To make it effective, policymakers need information about what economic activity, and thus what investment, can be considered green or sustainable. The task is to identify and compile relevant data and provide it to investors in a suitable classification, e.g., via an ESG rating or a taxonomy. Our authors in the "Policy Debate of the Hour" discuss to which extent green finance can make the economy greener. They also examine the role the financial sector can play in this transition. Among other things, they shed light on how "green" can be measured and look at the role of climate policy and incentive effects. They also provide recommendations for both economic and climate policy. In our "Economic Policy and its Impact" section, the authors shed light on the question of how teaching evolutionary theory changes students' knowledge and important choices in their life. In "Institutions Across the World" we discuss how policymakers can create incentives for households to follow tax rules when they use household-related services. The section "Big Data-Based Economic Insights" uses a textual analysis to look at remarks made in ECB press conferences.

Read more about How to Deal with the European Energy Crisis? Core Challenges for the EU
The current energy crisis in Europe is bringing about profound changes that can accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system. Yet, it is a supply shock of unprecedented scale and complexity, most noticeable in the markets for natural gas, coal, and electricity. Winter promises to be tough - especially for low-income households that use gas for heating and for small and medium-sized industrial companies. Short-term policy measures aim to shield consumers from the effects of the crisis: these include gas and electricity price brakes and energy subsidies for households. At the same time, many governments in the EU are now trying to increase or diversify oil and gas supplies and also accelerate structural change. The articles in the "Policy Debate of the Hour" section of this issue of EconPol Forum examine the causes of the crisis, analyze its effects, critically assess the policies already in place, and propose new short- to medium-term energy policies to better manage it and strengthen the EU's systemic resilience to energy market volatility.
European Labor Markets: Mastering Technological and Structural Change
EconPol - Pillars Conference
11-12 July 2022
The convergence of big data, artificial intelligence and extreme automation has proved highly disruptive to labor markets not just in Europe, but around the world. Add to this shifting trade patterns, with globalization giving way to regionalization and supply chains in turmoil, while entire industries are being upended through the efforts to decarbonize economies and adapt to climate change, and the need to hone new skills becomes clearly unavoidable. But which skills exactly will be required? What will future labor markets even look like? And what kind of reforms to education and training systems can ease the creation and adoption of such skills?

This event was hosted on Zoom, 6-7pm, Wednesday 29 September.
The Steven Campbell Trust were delighted that art historian Dr Gráinne Rice gave the 2021 Steven Campbell Trust Lecture, the tenth in the series.
This talk explores Campbell's discernible Surrealist affinities and representations of crime and violence in his work. From early work such as the 1981 collaborative performance Poised Murder, to the later 2000-02 Psycho Rugs series, Campbell's work incorporated Surrealism's interest in crime and the subconscious. His work synthesised ideas and imagery borrowed from artistic precursors with elements borrowed from popular culture, cinema, and literature.
Rice has recently completed a PhD on Campbell at Edinburgh College of Art. The event was chaired by Leverhulme Fellow, Professor Patricia Allmer (University of Edinburgh).

Wed 12 June 2019
CCA, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow.
We are delighted to share this wonderful recording of our recent Steven Campbell Annual Lecture at CCA, Glasgow.
In what proved to be a very well attended and compelling event, Beca Lipscombe and Mairi MacKenzie looked at the life and work of Steven, considering what it means to dress for the life you want rather than dress for the life you have. They reflected upon Campbell's depiction of textiles and clothing as well as his personal wardrobe, in order to recount their own aspirations growing up in Scotland and the routes they took in an attempt to develop a vernacular panache.
Beca Lipscombe is a fashion and textile designer and one half of Atelier E.B. Mairi MacKenzie is a fashion historian and Research Fellow in Fashion and Textiles at Glasgow School of Art.
Our sincere thanks go to Beca and Mairi for their research towards this excellent presentation in CCA, and for coordinating filming of this fantastic event and sharing this with us.

Our thanks also to Beca for sharing images of Steven's work from her recent research of Paisley Museums' Collections.
To see in hi-res click on images below.
This life size portrait is a counterpart to Steven Campbell's allegorical, amalgamated portrait of John Byrne, 'Paisleycus Byrnicus Virus Invading Mr Gray, also Art Funded in 2006.
The painting is a physical and psychological likeness of a fellow artist and professional admirer.
This work was painted as Campbell was nervously awaiting a visit to the studio of John Byrne in Nairn.
John Byrne was born in Paisley and Campbell uses the Paisley pattern with references to Velasquez. First there is the device of a painting within a painting which echoes the work 'Las Meninas' and there is an allusion to Velasquez' self portrait in the top right corner. Byrne's Picasso-inspired shorthand inspired the little heraldic-looking dog, taken again from Velasquez. Byrne's diverse practice made him something of a hero to Campbell.

Ross Sinclair. 2014 Steven Campbell Annual Lecture
Date: Thursday 16 October 2014
Time: 6-8pm
Venue: CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3JD
The Steven Campbell Trust are delighted to announce that artist Ross Sinclair will be giving the sixth annual Steven Campbell Trust Lecture at the CCA, Glasgow.
In the role of emcee, Ross Sinclair will be joined by artists and critics including Ellis Luxemburg, Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt and Jim Colquhoun to cast a critical eye over the current state of the visual arts community flourishing in the shadow of the much used (and abused) paradigm of 'The Glasgow Miracle'.
The Scotland-wide GENERATION project is currently celebrating the development of contemporary art in Scotland over the last 25 years. It has brought exhibitions and projects by over 100 artists to over 60 galleries around the country including landmark installations by both Ross Sinclair and Steven Campbell. To coincide, the BBC produced Scotland's Art Revolution: The Maverick Generation, featuring Sinclair and contemporaries, charting the development of the recent Scottish scene. But can these kind of large scale, media positioned, centrally funded events ever hope to reflect what's really going on?
Sinclair has worked for the past couple of years on an AHRC funded project with Francis McKee, Director of CCA, in partnership with The Glasgow School of Art – The Glasgow Miracle- Materials for Alternative Histories. The project has explored and rationalised existing archival material from the Third Eye Centre and CCA (material spanning the period 1972- the present) and through which Sinclair has conducted an ongoing series of long form interviews with artists building an archive for future historians.

Now in its fifth year, the Annual Steven Campbell Trust lecture comes to Glasgow for the first time. Introduced by journalist and broadcaster Edi Stark, the lecture will be given by Campbell's friend and collaborator, artist Ron O'Donnell.
O'Donnell is one of Scotland's finest contemporary narrative photographers; he and Campbell collaborated on the 2002 Portrait Gallery exhibition celebrating poet Edwin Morgan's 80th birthday. Reflecting on O'Donnell's own practice, the lecture will develop the connections Campbell made in his work to other art forms, artists and writers, looking in detail at his use of collage.
This year's lecture will be preceded at 6pm by a screening of two short films about Campbell in CCA's Cinema. Both events are free and supported by the Steven Campbell Trust and CCA.

Annual Trust Lecture
We are delighted that Peter Hill, artist and author of Stargazing will be giving the fourth annual Steven Campbell Trust Lecture at Summerhall, Edinburgh.
Dr Peter Hill is a Glasgow-born artist, writer, and independent curator. He is a dual citizen of Scotland and Australia.
From the age of seven he attended painting and sculpture Saturday morning classes at Glasgow School of Art.
This, combined with a love of writing and literature, encouraged him to try and bring all these elements together in what he calls "Superfictions". The first of these was a fictitious museum in New York called The Museum of Contemporary Ideas (1989 – ongoing).
Peter Hill regularly gives workshops on Superfictions to a variety of groups.
Tickets are available from our Eventbrite page.

China's enduring march to expand in the South China Sea is not flexible or fluid. It was set in action 10 years ago and is proceeding as scheduled. Every objection is met with a rebuff that paints the party objecting as an intruder into sovereign Chinese territory, as defined by the now-famous nine-dash line. Nothing the Philippines can do is likely to stop implementation of the plan.
"China moving to 'retake' island from the Philippines: report" issued by Want China Times on January 16, 2016. This article presents the stark reality that physically taking Pagasa Island is a probable near-term Chinese move, with justification based on a claim that it is in response to the arrogant land-grabbing being done in the South China Sea by the Philippines. Any complaint by the Philippines forms the basis for acting. Resistance is futile. China moves with the same pressing certainty as a Star Trek Borg collective.
Let's look at Pagasa Island, and also consider the value of the Spratley Islands to the Philippines and other nations. Then we'll look at what stance the Philippines might take.
Pagasa is a municipality of Palawan resting about 250 nautical miles west of Palawan. This is outside the UN-defined 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) that belongs to the Philippines.
The Philippines established Pagasa as a military outpost in 1970 and has since added civilian residents who mainly engage in fishing. The island's living capacity, at 37 hectares, is about 300 people. Generally, there are fewer than 200 people living on the island, some 40 to 60 of whom are military troops. The island has a rudimentary airstrip.
There is debate as to highest and best use of the island, with some seeing it as having military value and others (local residents, for instance) wanting to exploit the tourism potential.
China, Taiwan and Vietnam do not recognize the Philippine claim, all stating prior use and historical rights.
Why are nations interested in the Spratleys?
China wants the resources and the ability to control ships and planes that pass through the territory. Resources means oil, gas and fish. China is the only nation that wants the territory for OFFENSIVE military purposes, that is, to control what other nations can do.
Taiwan's claim duplicates that of Big China, without the offensive military intentions.
Vietnam wants the resources and to establish a defensive perimeter.
The Philippines wants the resources and to establish a defensive perimeter.
What volume of oil and gas are we talking about? That's a rather interesting point, and the debate boils down to some finite realities, are we willing to die for these resources?
First of all, not much has been PROVED in the area. The only proven resources are near established land masses clearly within national economic boundaries. Here's a map issued by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in April of 2013 in a report entitled "Contested areas of South China Sea likely have few conventional oil and gas resources".
Well, I think Tomas Cloma was a brave adventurer, but I think his claim has no greater strength than China or Viet Nam's historical claims. They can show use of the islands going back centuries.
I also think the Philippine effort to populate the island was little different than what China is doing by putting boats, people and military encampments on this rock or that. Then scraping up a little sand and calling it an island.
But Reed Bank is different. Reed bank is within the Philippine EEZ. All economic benefits should fall to the Philippines.
With utmost regret to the people on Pagasa, who are real people, and I am but a scribe playing with ideas, I would swap Pagasa to the Chinese on condition they left the Philippine EEZ.
Well, the safety of this offer is based on the simple matter that China won't trade. As much as the Chinese blather on about bilateral agreements as if such discussions would benefit both parties, the established Chinese plan does not consider reason to be relevant. Only expansion and acquisition are relevant.
So for the Philippines, as in a case of chess, the pawns need to be defended. Philippine sovereign well-being rides on that defense. It is a matter of what is right, it is not about oil or natural gas. A nation like China that claims it wants bilateral talks but pursues unilateral acquisitions without any discussions is as wrong as wrong can be.
And so Pagasa needs to be defended.
Even if the Cloma claim is weak.
Even if there is no oil or natural gas.
Odds are, there is a storm brewing. You ready?
Let me give you one little observation as I drop this off for publication. Undermining a sitting president does not strengthen the Philippines.
It seems to me that Filipinos are in some trivial world of singing and dancing and debates about artists' awards, or political protests that undermine. Far from ready. Far from focused. Far from committed to the Philippines.
No truer words said. Indeed, the Supreme Court could have decided on the fate of the Sandiganbayan Justice Gregory Ong before declaring the DAP unconstitutional. Giving out this kind of ruling in the midst of the plunder charges is like giving the accused senators more ammunition to hit the President and his Cabinet.
Too many "causes/issues" that add confusion to a messy plunder charge. As well as GMA's cases, etc.
Please, the Filipino people should all unite behind our President Aquino who is doing his damned best to rid corruption and put a little semblance of honesty in government. Spend the government revenue FOR the welfare of the people, to improve the military equipment, etc. It's only under his watch that all these corrupt practices are brought into the light and now, we have an ex-National Treasurer saying he can be impeached, etc., etc.
Please…. let's all help to re-build our country, not destroy the great leaders that come upon us.
A very important plea. I was reflecting a moment ago that the US is becoming like a Banana Republic, composed of extremist elements that can't stand any way other than their own, and undermine the entire US to make a point. The Philippines has a chance to emerge from a coup-minded, divisive, my-way-or-else approach . . . has the chance to be something other than a Banana Republic. But I don't see that unity of purpose emerging, the willingness to sacrifice individually for national strength, that would define the nation as being something other than a Banana Republic.
Touche, Joe! (And also a nod of agreement on Chit Navarro's point well-taken). I moderately revel that singer expatriates on Youtube, Philippine folk songs and dances getting a lot of mileage, and the adulation surrounding Lea Salonga, Manny Pacquiao and also Charice Pempengco all do contribute to an international visibility for the Philippines and Filipinos. We are justifiably behind our artists and sports personalities. Now, with affairs of state and diplomacy we as a people are not perceived in a unity that should normally picture our people as a bonafide citizen of the world because of what Fallows calls internecine squabbling among our senior officials, media and citizens.
There is definitely something wrong with the picture.
The picture is atilt, for sure. Actually, I am personally impressed with Filipino talent and showmanship. But that does not make a nation. A nation is made of values and goals that are good, and deeds that take care of the people, and to be dancing and arguing whilst a big beast is breathing heavily on Philippine territory seems a bit like fiddling in Rome to me.
As a concern citizen … We don't need war… We must respect and the is the virtue where China don't have. .. We must learned from our fast and as a brother pls. must each other…History repeat him self and in this case we must upward in higher level.
Is the report on oil still accurate? We are drilling to the west of Palawan already.
Anyway, I really dislike the fact that few Filipinos care about the Spratly Islands. Have we lost our pride? Oh wait, it is easy for us to get angry when a foreigner bashes Megan Young and get much less reaction when the chinese thieves took Scarborough. We have pride but it is misplaced. Vietnamese on the other hand burned the chinese thieves factories and mobilized their ship. Changing the mentality will take a lot of work and time and by that time it is too late. I am already thinking of migrating to another country before I do something stupid. This country is hopeless.
It is accurate, I think. But the caveat is found in the words "few proven or probable". It takes drilling to find out. When I originally set out to write the blog, I was taking an "it's not worth fighting to the death" over. Let China spend money chasing the oil and let's focus on thermal, wind, solar, waves and hydro. My island of Biliran could be a huge energy exporter, but for a host of reasons, it doesn't happen. Game-playing by government is one of the reasons.
I appreciate your frustration, for sure.
I would not count on china leaving the eez in exchage for pag asa as seen with what happened scarborough which was supposed to be a mutual withdrawal.
That's interesting, Janice, I had thought of China's thuggish behavior having the purpose to control the air and seas, and the nations using them, but it may also be to subject outer nations to China's will. For whatever future purpose. I rather think it won't work and China's grand plan is exceedingly stupid.
If you notice, countries that disagrees with the "China logic" irritates the hell out of them.
If the CCP is a lot more powerful, they'd be invading any nation that disagrees with their policies.
Yes. The national attitude is one I closely link to racist, one that believes other nations are made up of lesser beings.
The Filipinos are so individualistic who only think of their self interest, of number 1. For the sake of the future generations, there is an utmost need to unearth the underlying causes to such mindsets, then initiate upheavals of changes in socio – cultural ways of life, education and economic perspectives. Easier said than done. The desired unification among the people is a far fetched dream. The divide and conquer policy has been the political game of the politicians for vested – interest since the Spanish time up to now, that it has so entrenched into the innermost of the people.
Btw, I've been on a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Lourdes, France, Our Lady of Fatima, Portugal, and Our Lady of Carmel in Garabandal, Spain and St James Basilica in Santiago Compostela, Spain. I prayed for you Joe and your family.
Ahh, what a wonderful pilgrimage, and I am very touched by your kindness. I've been to Santiago Compostela, Spain, and it is one of my most favorite cities in the world, a place with soul where it is delightful to wander the narrow streets of the old city; it has a huge cathedral reflecting Moorish and Christian designs, also rich with spirit. I wrote a poem entitled "The Ghosts of Santiago". I'll have to see if it is lodged somewhere in a nook or cranny hereabouts.
I also agree with your first paragraph, that it would be good for Filipinos to reflect about the "I" mentality, why it is there, whether it is good or bad, and how to direct interpersonal dealings to do more good. It is important not to just recognize the behavior, but get beneath it to figure out why.
I've read the comments and wondered what could be the focus of this article? Is it about the character of the Filipino people, or, is it about China's plan to invade Philippine territory as inferred by the title? I'm confused.
It's about both, as they are related. The article was background to a position, that position being that China is serious, Pagasa should be defended, so get ready. Some responses are that, indeed, there is little apparent readiness, or there is apathy.


Two men in their 20s have been arrested in the greater Paris region over a suspected plot to carry out a terrorist attack targeting the gay community, sources in the intelligence services claim.
The pair, aged 21 and 22, were arrested in the eastern Paris suburb of Seine-et-Marne suspected of planning to carry out an attack in the name of the Islamic State group.
While the details of their plot remain vague at the moment, sources close to the investigation told AFP that the attack may been planned against the gay community.
"Their plan remains unclear at this stage, but there is evidence to suggest they are targeting homosexuals," sources told various French media sites.
According to sources close to the investigation, "knives, a firing device and Islamist State group propaganda were found" during raids conducted on Saturday by France's intelligence service DGSI in Seine-et-Marne after the pair had been arrested on June 9th.
They have since been placed in pre-trial detention, according to the prosecutor's wishes, a source close to the investigation revealed to the French press.
France remains on high alert following a string of jihadist attacks over the past three years that have killed more than 240 people.

THE CROODS: A NEW AGE
In prehistoric times, Grug Crood (the voice of Nicolas Cage) and his family go in search of a better place to live. Leaving their cave, they journey to a land beyond a great wall. This paradise is lush, has plentiful food and something unexpected: the evolved Bettermans. Grug feels threatened by the modern family and their tree house with advanced inventions. A reluctant friendship develops and grows stronger when a menacing force outside their safe habitat becomes a problem. The future is at stake. Fans of 2013's "The Croods" won't be disappointed with this fun journey. First-time feature film director Joel Crawford (TV short "Trolls Holiday") finds a comfortable mix of action and humor within visually stunning animation. Children will be amused, but a couple of scary moments may frighten smaller kids. There's not much for adults beyond a harmless tongue-in-cheek joke or two (one involving a toilet). A marvelous voice cast brings the characters to life.
School bullies are the least of Millie's (Kathryn Newton) problems when she comes face-to-face with serial killer The Butcher (Vince Vaughn). During the confrontation, the pair magically swap bodies thanks to an ancient dagger in the maniac's possession. Now in the psychopath's body, Millie discovers she only has 24 hours before the switch becomes permanent. After convincing her friends Nyla (Celeste O'Connor), Joshua (Misha Osherovich) and object of her love Booker (Uriah Shelton) of the dire situation, they set out to stop The Butcher and get her female form back before he piles up new victims at Blissfield High. Chills and laughs collide in this fresh take on body-swapping. Although an uncomfortable mix at times, director/co-writer (along with Michael Kennedy) Christopher Landon largely succeeds at blending horror and humor. The son of actor Michael Landon, he honed his directorial skills most recently on "Happy Death Day" and "Happy Death Day 2U" and

Highlights from Charleston Southern game

Highlights from ETSU's exciting 59 -57 win against Charleston Southern last night, including John Walton's game winning shot.
ETSU vs BYU – 1990 Preseason NIT – Full Game
October 4, 2012 April 15, 2013 admin	Leave a comment
The 1990-1991 East Tennessee State basketball team started the 90-91 season on a high note with a win against BYU in the first round of the 1990 preseason NIT in Provo, Utah. This particular game is notable for several reasons. First, it was the first game that coach Alan LeForce served as a full-time head coach for ETSU and it also ended up being his first win. Secondly, it's also the first game of one of the most memorable seasons in East Tennessee State basketball history, the Bucs would end up winning a school record 28 games in the 90-91 season and was ranked in the top 25 nearly all season long. Lastly, this was actually the first collegiate game for 7'6 BYU center Shawn Bradley, who ended up having an 11 year career in the NBA, playing most notably for Philadelphia and Dallas.
Below is the full game between ETSU and BYU. It was a close hard fought game on both sides, with ETSU leading most of the way thanks to great shooting from the 3-point line. Greg Dennis struggled quite a bit in guarding Shawn Bradley but that can be expected when you have to guard someone 7 inches taller than you the whole game. The Bucs would go on to face 5th ranked Arizona in the second round of the NIT, in what turned out to be a preview of ETSU's 1992 NCAA tournament opponent. See more ETSU basketball games in the video section.
ETSU vs Appalachian State from 1991
August 25, 2012 April 15, 2013 admin	Leave a comment
Even though ETSU is no longer in the Southern Conference one of our biggest rivals to me and to many other ETSU fans will always be Appalachian State. The two campuses are only separated by 55 miles of mountainous curvy roads and have been playing each other since 1928. ETSU holds an overwhelming lead in the series but that never diminished the rivalry. Anytime the two teams met it was always one of the exciting games of the season. The visiting team would usually bring a large amount of fans and typically the matchup would end up being one of the largest attended games in the basketball season for both schools. Three of the top 8 crowds in the history of the Mini Dome were against Appalachian State. This game from 1991 was no different. This video is from the 1991 season in a sold out game of over 8,000 inside the old Varsity Gym in Boone, North Carolina. Of course this is the 1991 team featuring Mister Jennings, almost every Southern Conference game for ETSU that season, home or away, was a sellout crowd. See more ETSU basketball games in the video section.

Complete video footage between ETSU and NC State in 1992. It's not the most well known ETSU and NC State basketball game for buc fans but it was still another win for the Bucs over the Wolfpack. A year after the big win in Johnson City the ETSU men's basketball team visited Raleigh for a second game inside Reynolds Coliseum. The Bucs started out slow but had a strong 2nd half to get the win over Les Robinson and the Wolfpack. This game marked the 3rd year in a row ETSU beat NC State in basketball. The two have not played since this game. See more ETSU basketball games in the video section.

This short highlight reel of Lester Wilson comes from one of our readers who provided me the video. This video showcases Lester's tremendous athletic ability with some outstanding dunks and blocks during a Carter HS game. I'm certainly excited about seeing Lester Wilson in an ETSU uniform after watching this and other previously posted videos of Lester.
Zakee Wadood and Jerald Fields Highlight Reel
July 25, 2012 February 20, 2013 admin	1 Comment
Zakee Wadood and Jerald Fields are two of the most memorable players that have ever played for the East Tennessee State basketball team. There is no doubt without these guys the 2003 and 2004 Southern Conference championships probably would not have been possible. This 7 minute highlight film showcases what Zakee and Jerald were most famous for at ETSU, which was blocking shots, dunking and winning.

Perhaps one of the biggest wins of ETSU basketball history came in the 1992 NCAA tournament when the Bucs faced Arizona in the first round. ETSU shot extremely well in this game, hitting a total of 13 3-point shots. It's one of the most impressive wins a 14th seed has ever had over a 3rd seed in NCAA tournament history.

Calvin Talford – 1992 NCAA Slam Dunk Contest

Calvin Talford is a Buccanner favorite and will always be known to East Tennessee State fans as one of the most exciting players to ever put on a Buccaneer uniform. Not only did Calvin Talford amaze Buccaneer fans, with his unreal slam dunks, during his time at ETSU but he also amazed the entire college basketball nation when he won the 1992 NCAA Slam Dunk contest in front of a national TV audience on ESPN. The video below shows all 5 of Calvin's dunks, including his final dunk.
