| フォーラム/Forum: Comment here/こちらへ ADDED 1 NOVEMBER フィリピン は日本の有害ごみ溜め？日本は、自国内の廃棄物をリサイクルすることができない貧しい近隣国の中に有毒で危険な廃棄物を捨てるための場所を見つけました。日本の医療機関で働く看 護士や介護士と引き換えに、フィリピンの7、100もの美しい島は、日本の海洋投入処分海域になるように受け入れられました。― 被害者とメディアについて、河野義行さんに聞く― 私は以前から松本サリン事件の捜査と報道に興味を持ち、個人的にこの事件の報道について調べていまし た。そして、今回 河野義行さん（同事件被害者、前長野県公安委員）が２００６年７月５日、同志社大学今出川校地で学際科目、「マスメディアの現場」（科目責任者・渡辺武達 教授）でゲスト講義に来られるということを浅野教授から聞き、翌日の７月６日午後６時から７時まで、河野さんと直接お話をする機会をいただきました (ASANO Ken'ichi) ピーク・オイル・ パニック: 迫る石油危機と代替エネルギーの可能性 ２００６年９月２７日、作品社から拙訳（共訳）の最新刊『ピーク・オイル・パニック：迫る石油危機と代替エネルギーの可能性』が出版されました。書店にそ ろそろ並んでいますので、ご案内致します。 原書は Jeremy Leggett, Half Gone: Oil, Gas, Hot Air and the Global Energy Crisis (Portobello, UK, 2005) です。北米ではThe Empty Tank: Oil, Gas, Hot Air, and the Coming Global Financial CatastropheとしてRandom House社から出版されています。 昨年のほぼ同じ時期に、拙訳『ピーク・オイル：石油争乱と２１世紀経済の行方』を同じ作品社から上梓して以来、日本でも「ピーク・オイル」についてメディ アで取り上げられる機会が増えてきました。そうした中、『ピーク・オイル』は幸いにして短い期間に版を重ねてきたのですが、そちらは、ピーク・オイルを基 調低音に置いた世界の地政学的分析の本でした。(masuoka ken) 米国司法制度における 権力と二重基準：コカコーラ訴訟とＦＡＲＣ訴訟 テリー・ギブス  Original is Power and Double Standards in the U.S. Legal System: The Cases of Coca-Cola and the FARC. コカコーラ社と同社のコロンビア瓶詰会社が人権侵害に関与していることをめぐる訴訟が最近になって米国で却下されたことは、やはり米国で、コロンビアのゲ リラ指導者が誘拐と殺人、麻薬取引、テロリズムで告訴されていることと何か関係があるのだろうか？ 一見したところ、ほとんど関係がないように思われるか も知れない。けれども、この二つの訴訟を比較すると、司法上、そして政治的に、興味深い疑問が生じてくる。たとえば、あるグループが----それがコロン ビア革命軍（ＦＡＲＣ）のような政治グループであれコカコーラのような経済グループであれ----、米国の司法制度によって米国の外での行動の責任を追及 されるのは、なぜ、いかにして、そしていかなる条件のもとでなのだろうか？ (masuoka ken) 共謀罪：緊急 共謀罪について、与党が２４日にも法務委員会で強硬採決する可能性があるとの情報があります。保 坂展人のどこどこ日記によると、２３日の理事会が流れたため、２４日の法務委員会採決はなさそうとのことですが、状況は余談を許しません。 では、共謀罪の何が問題なのでしょうか？ 実際には何もしなくても、団体が、「犯罪」と解釈されうる行為の相談を行うだけで罪に問うという法案です。しかも、ここで言う「団体」は犯罪組織に限られ ず、大学のサークルや高校のクラブ、会社や労働組合、主婦のお話会なども含まれ、さらに対象となる犯罪は、凶悪なものだけでなく６００以上もあります。 (masuoka ken) 共謀罪：緊急 共謀罪について、与党が２４日にも法務委員会で強硬採決する可能性があるとの情報があります。保 坂展人のどこどこ日記によると、２３日の理事会が流れたため、２４日の法務委員会採決はなさそうとのことですが、状況は余談を許しません。 では、共謀罪の何が問題なのでしょうか？ 実際には何もしなくても、団体が、「犯罪」と解釈されうる行為の相談を行うだけで罪に問うという法案です。しかも、ここで言う「団体」は犯罪組織に限られ ず、大学のサークルや高校のクラブ、会社や労働組合、主婦のお話会なども含まれ、さらに対象となる犯罪は、凶悪なものだけでなく６００以上もあります。 (masuoka ken)  イラク・ファルージャ最新情報は『ファルージャ2004年4月』ブログ書籍『ファルージャ 2004年４月』（2004年６月、現代企画室）の共訳者２名による共同運営。ファルージャおよびイラクについての情報を英語から日本語にして紹 介。同書の後継的位置づけ。2004年６月開始。 アメリカ 中東支配の終わり 【2006年10月21日】「中東混乱期の夜明け」と題するＣＦＲ会長の論文は、アメリカはイラク占領の失敗と、パレスチナ和平の失敗、穏健な親米アラブ 諸国がイスラム過激派を抑えることに失敗したことによって、中東でのアメリカの影響力が減退したと書いている。今後も、アメリカが中東で最大の影響力を持 つことは変わらないものの、アメリカの減退と入れ替わりにＥＵやロシア、中国などからの影響が強まりそうだと予測している。(tanaka news) 寺島研究室「別館」へようこそ Translations of recent interviews with Noam Chomsky and others.

In exchange for Nurses and Caregivers to work in Japanese Health Services, the Philippines 7, 100 beautiful islands accepted to be the dumping site for Japan.NATIONALIST EDUCATION AND |GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED JAPANESE MEDIA Article 1 Government confirms it planted pre-scripted questions at town meeting on education Article 2 Shii demands thorough discussion on 3 issues before voting on education bill Article 3 Opposition parties agree to jointly block government bill to revise education law Government orders to NHK of what to air in violation of freedom of press Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Suga Yoshihide on November 10 ordered NHK to air programs on North Korea's abductions of Japanese nationals on Radio Japan, NHK's international shortwave radio service. The Okinawan Election and Resistance to Japan's Military First Politics The National Politics of Yasukuni Shrine Takahashi Tetsuya's "The National Politics of the Yasukuni Shrine," is among the most important statements to emerge from the debate over Yasukuni Shrine, historical memory and war nationalism. North Korea's Nuclear Test—Bush's Godchild? Politicians have hastened to express moral outrage even if, and perhaps especially if, they come from countries which have many nuclear weapons and have conducted tests. Journalists have been having a field day, many delighting in the opportunity to write lurid stories unencumbered by the need to check facts and qualify opinions. Under the circumstances, it is more necessary than ever before to keep a clear head and try to disentangle fact from fantasy, to unearth what has been going on, and what is likely to happen. ADDED 24 OCTOBER Reporter Eric Johnston on McGowan victorious appeal On Oct. 18th, the Steve McGowan case ended with a partial victory, when the Osaka High Court awarded him 350,000 yen. McGowan had sued Takashi Narita, the owner of an eyeglass store in Daito, Osaka Pref. for racial discrimination after Narita barred him from entering his store and told McGowan he didn’t like black people.

(interpress) "We Don't Negotiate with Evil" :How the US Declared War on North Korea As Bush entered office, physicist Gordon Prather writes, "according to the IAEA, there were no nuclear programs peaceful or otherwise underway in Iraq or North Korea." But in 2002 the U.S. administration claimed that Pyongyang "had violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by obtaining unbeknownst to the IAEA prototypes of high-speed gas centrifuges from Pakistan and that by 2001, DPRK engineers were producing unbeknownst to the IAEA enriched uranium in significant quantities." As in the case of Iraq, U.S. officials claimed to have "intelligence" at variance with U.N. inspectors' reports. Economic Reforms Breeds Young Underclass According to experts, this growing young underclass is the product of new economic reforms in Japan, launched five years ago, to reduce the national budget deficit, by cutting down on public spending and the squeezing of costs on personnel by private companies. (interpress) Women In Action: Cultures and Diversity Women In Action covers a broad range of issues affecting women globally, but focusing on the particular needs and concerns of women in the Global South, and forwarding a progressive perspective tempered by the experiences of the thirld world women's movements.

PAUL'S
SONGS
(SELECTED)
Go Down You Broken Old Man
A song of renewal and hope
There's a Lesson To be Learned in the Trees
When children die, we must be there to turn death around. It was true during the Vietnam war, and it is true today. Resist and refuse.
I'd like to sit down by you
Sun crossing the room, a hoped for romance
The Highway Song (Monoxide Song)
Wrote late high school, linking the environment to love. About commitment and betrayal.
3 Months Ago
A love ends, a new one begins. Between these two events can seem a long time. This is a song about both loss and hope
Bar at Midnight
Sitting at Holger Danske Bodega in Elsinore, Denmark, I wrote this in 1975.
Rippling Sea
A poem I put to music, about the seashore at Miura Hanto.
Tofu Spaghetti
I was asked by an English Speaking Society at a Japanese school to give a lecture on something. I had no idea, as I hate lectures or speechmaking. So I came up with the idea of doing things that go against the grain...like combining tofu and spaghetti.
Pressures of the World
Written as a buffer to insulate us from the pains of growing up. Pretty funny, even now.
The Night is Young
Just a love song, from the early 1980s.
The Revision
About Japanese government's changes to immigration law affecting Korean and other former colonial subjects and their descendents, as well as all 'foreign' residents and continued arbitrary treatment of those who commited civil disobedience in order to make a more just society.
Spider song
A failed attempt at love gave birth to this song about salvaging a friendship.
