A look at Taiwan and the Chinese threat

Written by Democracia Participativa on 17 August 2024. Posted in Headlines.

A summary of the most relevant facts and the historical truth.

Historians have shown that popular and official discussion of Taiwan as a part of China, and formal efforts to gain forceful control of Taiwan before WWII by the government of the Republic of China (ROC) and its ruling Nationalist Party, originated in the 1930s and early 1940s, within the context of anti-Japanese sentiment and war.

Under Japanese imperial rule, the island was known as Formosa. However. in more historical terms, a number of scholars have demonstrated the creation of distinctive Taiwanese identities during the years of Japanese rule. 

Taiwanese citizens created new identities by drawing on their cultural history, new labor and professional groups, widely disseminated concepts of self-determination and participatory politics, and contemporary cosmopolitanism—far from adhering to the goals of Japanese assimilation strategies. Through a variety of social and cultural actions, including demands for voting rights and an independent legislature for Taiwan inside the Japanese Empire, as well as demands for independence from Japan, they demonstrated their newfound awareness for self-determination.

President Biden no longer the US Democratic Party presidential candidate

Written by Democracia Participativa on 22 July 2024. Posted in Headlines.

Biden endorses Harris as VP candidate

Washington DC, July 21 (DPnet).– President Joe Biden has suspended his reelection campaign, sparking a political firestorm regarding who should replace him mere months before voters head to the ballot box. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a letter Sunday. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”

Vice President Kamala Harris secured a commanding list of endorsements for her presidential nomination bid in the hours following President Joe Biden's announcement that he is stepping out of the 2024 race.

The list of endorsements included the chairs of all 50 state party chairs, convention delegates from at least four states, and some of the biggest names in the party, including the Clintons, the governors of California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and Democrat mega-donor Alex Soros.

Even with Biden's endorsement of Ms. Harris, the future of the party ticket is uncertain, and Democrats must now navigate an unprecedented shift late in the election year. Ms. Harris has announced her intention to “earn and win this nomination.”

ARGENTINA: 30 years of Conspiracies & Cover-ups since the AMIA Attack

Written by Infobae on 18 July 2024. Posted in Headlines.

♦ Prosecutor Alberto Nisman accused Iran and Argentina of colluding to bury a terrorist attack. It may have got him killed.
♦ Sebastán Basso, prosecutor of the AMIA case: "The passage of time is the greatest complexity of the case".
♦ 30 years after the attack on the AMIA, Gil Lavedra expressed: "The mantle of impunity and shame surrounds us".

The AMIA case is 30 years old: acquittals and cover-ups 

  • Fugitives did not appear. 
  • The US and Brazil expressed their commitment to help. 
  • What is the scenario of the different judicial fronts in the open investigations linked to the attack?

AMIA Attack 1994Buenos Aires, July 18.– For some reason, round numbers always weigh more. 30 years ago, at 9:53 on that cold and sunny Monday, a truck bomb with more than 300 kilos of explosives was embedded in the Pasteur 633 building, in the heart of Once. The AMIA flew. He killed 85 people. Since then, the sense of Justice seems to fade with each anniversary.

Almost 500 thousand pages accumulate in the files. Added to this is intelligence material stored in boxes of papers and cassettes that could occupy two kilometers online.

Multiple failures: Unraveling the attempted assassination of Donald Trump

Written by AP on 17 July 2024. Posted in Headlines.

Donald Trump after being shootedButler, July 17 (AP).– The young man was pacing around the edges of the Donald Trump campaign rally, shouldering a big backpack and peering into the lens of a rangefinder toward the rooftops behind the stage where the former president would stand.

His behavior was so odd, so unlike that of the other rallygoers, that local law enforcement took notice, radioed their concerns and snapped a photo. But then he vanished.

7 Interesting facts about Solar Panels

Written by Greener Energy Group on 29 June 2024. Posted in Headlines.

With the ever-increasing energy prices, homeowners are understanding the need to do something to lower their electricity bills and protect their homes from future price rises. Solar panels are the most effective energy generation system for domestic properties and installing them to your home is one of the best ways you can save on energy bills. Solar technology is always improving and getting more efficient, so there’s no question as to why people are investing in energy-saving systems and why UK installations doubled in June 2020. As well as this, consumers are more environmentally aware than ever before, and are understanding the benefits of renewables to reduce carbon emissions. Here we give you 7 of our favourite solar panel benefits and facts…

1. Solar power is the most abundant energy source on the Earth

20 days of solar generation can create the same amount of energy as all the Earth's fossil fuels combined. Just 1 hour of solar energy that has landed on Earth’s surface equates to the total energy consumption of every individual on the planet!
 
2. Solar panels will produce power without direct sunlight

It’s common for people living in countries like Scotland to question the effectiveness of solar panels… however, even on cloudy and rainy days, solar cells will still generate a surprising amount of electricity. This is because solar panels work by taking in photons, and these are taken in from daylight regardless of how sunny it is.
Of course, during the months with fewer daylight hours, less power will be generated, however you can rest assured that they do not come to a standstill, and overall are still well worth the investment – especially now with the increase in electricity prices.
 
3. An increased use of solar energy improves world health
