                               Issue 127

                      Back from the (Almost) Dead
             ____/____/____/____/____/____/____/____/____/

You were wondering where ChocoPaul News had gone, right? Well, wonder no
more.   I was in the hospital with "serious anemia". Rather than attempt
to explain here, I will let you visit the website to
read all about it.   I will say this, though.  The little enforced
vacation helped me see connections between things that might not seem to
be related at first.  I hope by sticking with the article, which is
quite long, you will find yourself agreeing with some of the
observations.


If you go here, you will be able to read about all bout my hospital
stay:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It includes sections on: 

--How and why I got sick

--The connection to my being in the hospital and:

    -working at MacDonalds in the U.S. vs. Japan

    -Nazi Republicans and lying Democrats

    -Japanese neoliberalism and remilitarization

    -Madelaine Albright, baby killer

    -the taxi driver on nitroglycerin 

    -the Japan Times-CIA link (AKA CSIS/Pacific Forum)

    -a revolutionary vision for hospital care

    -why a "low sodium diet" in Japan can give you a coronary elsewhere

    -kicking a duck eating brownies outside of Starbucks in my sleep and
waking up with a pain

    -a hospital that doesn't smell of sick people

    -work and overwork

    -Jewish Nazis in Israel and why U.S. Jewish progressives are behind
their Israeli counterparts in acknowledging this

There is also a brief section on alternative news from Israel/Palestine
as well as these stories from Japan:

(1) Boycott Docomo for Discrimination Against Non Japanese
NTTドコモの外国人のみ３万円「預託金」 人権擁護団体「UMJ」と
「コミュニティ」は「外国人あて割増し金」と批判


(2) ISSHO IPAD Project Condemns Cellphone Operator's Discriminatory
Practice


(3) Japanese Court Orders Mitsui to Pat for Forced Labor,
Mitsui still doesn't get it, appeals for a reversal
Meanwhile, Japanese government let off the hook.
