What a Coincidence!

The coincidence of the guy behind Wikileaks being investigated for rape and all sorts of sexual crimes is too much for me to believe.  It may very well be that he is a sex fiend, and if so, he should be dealt with through the criminal justice process.  But, there seems to be some doubt about this, and the Swedish authorities have been rather inconsistent in pursuing the matter.

I would bet my bottom dollar that the U.S. is behind this.  Just a few weeks after the U.S. cried foul over the revelation concerning Afghanistan, calling this "high treason", all these accusations surface.  Obviously, they want to put him away, so that he doesn't embarrass them anymore by revealing other secrets about how the U.S. really conducts its affairs at home and abroad.

If they can't silence him this way, they will probably do it in a more permanent fashion.

Belgian Buggery

The Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal won't go away; instead, it keeps growing every day.  Take the story out of Belgium, where a report has been issued that details what went on, including more than a dozen suicides linked to the abuse perpetrated by priests and  a cover up that continues to this day, when a Belgian bishop suggested that a complaint be withheld until 2011, when the bishop who covered up for the offending priest will retire.  With each passing day, it becomes more and more difficult to hold that this behavior was just the work of a few rogue priests.  There are just too many cases all around the world, for anyone to believe such a thing. This is clearly a major problem which the church tried to hide from the authorities and recklessly let it continue, without any regard for children elsewhere, by transferring priests.  There is no excuse for this unpardonable sin.

No Honor

As a firm believer in independence for Puerto Rico from the United States, I sympathize with independence movements all around the world, as well as with the recognition of those who have fought for it. Having said that, I find it absurd that India plans to spend $33 million on a statue twice the size of the Statue of Liberty to honor one of its independence heroes. Especially so, when that is twice the expenditure for girls' education and $8 million more than what will be spent for women's safety, in a country in which the rape of women is brutal and commonplace. It makes you wonder about what Gandhi would have said about something like this.
