Emboldened Police Car Runs Down Two Anti-Ma Ying-jeou Protesters in Taipei

Jerome F. Keating Ph.D.

The current Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) President Ma Ying-jeou had promised that he would return the streets to the people after his election. But as always with the hypocritical Ma, one must watch what he does rather than what he says. During the People's Republic of China (PRC) Chen Yunlin's visit, Taiwan witnessed how thousands of police were mobilized to forcibly prevent legitimate protest. Police manhandled citizens wanting to display the national flag or trying to get near the hotel where Chen was staying as Ma sought to cozy up to China. Later a record store was shut down because it was playing Taiwanese songs. Its crime was that it was a half-block away from another hotel where Chen Yunlin was having tea with KMT bigwigs.

Jason Yuan, Another KMT Case of Deceit and So-So Loyalty to Taiwan?

Jerome F. Keating Ph.D.

Remember the weeks and months of denials and protestations of innocence we had to endure in the recent case of Diane Lee's loyalty to Taiwan? Well, Lee, the illegal member of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan kept saying she did not have a US passport etc. etc. till she finally resigned and ran off with over US$3 million dollars of illegally earned money from Taiwan. It now seems like another Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) case of so-so KMT loyalty to Taiwan is in the wind. This is over Jason Yuan's now-he-has-it, now-he-doesn't green card. "Next Magazine" has once again exposed the fast and loose practices of KMT members.

Injustice Continues in Chen Shui-bian's Trial

Jerome F. Keating Ph.D.

Injustice flows from granting too much power to an agency or government and that continues to be the case in Taiwan. The collaboration of prosecutors and witnesses, plea discussions and immunity negotiations continue to easily lead to a fabrication of evidence where the intimidated witnesses say what the prosecutors want them to say. Professor Jerome Cohen's critical remarks of Taiwan's legal process again hold center stage as run of the mill prosecutors are allowed free rein in the courts. The most recent abuse has been that when the unconstitutional holding of Chen Shui-bian finally went into effect, the prosecutors drummed up new charges so that they could still keep Chen in jail. Review these past highlights.

An Analysis of the Unificationists' Mental Confusion

Dr. Hsu-Tung Yang & translated by Leo Wang

The way to build a nation on Taiwan requires full utilization of various tactics: attacks, counter-attacks, and counter-advancements. With president Chen Chui-Bien representing the Taiwanese sovereignty’s in the National Administration, the Taiwanese should master the Chinese Imperialists’ style of governance; in turn, applying such ruling method while governing the Chinese Imperialists. Ruling a country is like doing a small time cooking. With addition of spices, and without major changes, is capable of completing a full mountain of works while revealing the political ghosts’ and goblins’ conspiracies and thereby rendering all their plots unfeasible.
