Sin of omission
The letter came in a box of Halloween decorations purchased at Kmart,
but for a year Julie Keith never knew. It gathered dust in her storage, a
haunting plea for help hidden among artificial skeletons, tombstones
and spider webs.
Keith, a 42-year-old vehicle donation manager at a southeast Portland
Goodwill, at one point considered donating the unopened $29.99 Kmart
graveyard kit. It was one of those accumulated items you never need and
easily forget. But on a Sunday afternoon in October, Keith pulled the
orange and black box from storage. She intended to decorate her home in
Damascus for her daughter's fifth birthday, just days before Halloween.
She ripped open the box and threw aside the cellophane.
That's when Keith found it. Scribbled onto paper and folded into
eighths, the letter was tucked between two Styrofoam headstones.
"Sir:
If you occasionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter
to the World Human Right Organization. Thousands people here who are
under the persicution of the Chinese Communist Party Government will
thank and remember you forever."
The graveyard kit, the letter read, was made in unit 8, department 2 of the Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, China.
Chinese characters broke up choppy English sentences.
"People who work here have to work 15 hours a day without Saturday,
Sunday break and any holidays. Otherwise, they will suffer torturement,
beat and rude remark. Nearly no payment (10 yuan/1 month)."
Ten yuan is equivalent to $1.61.
"People who work here, suffer punishment 1-3 years averagely, but
without Court Sentence (unlaw punishment). Many of them are Falun Gong
practitioners, who are totally innocent people only because they have
different believe to CCPG. They often suffer more punishment than
others."
The letter was not signed.
Shocked, Keith sat down as her mind reeled.
Wow, that's daring, she thought. She imagined the desperation the
writer must have felt, the courage he or she must have mustered to slip
the letter into that box. If caught, what would happen?
Like a message in a bottle, the letter traveled more than 5,000 miles over the Pacific Ocean. It could not be ignored.
***
Unsure of where to start, Keith turned to Facebook.
"I found this in a box of Halloween decorations" she typed beneath a photo of the letter. She wanted to spread the message.
The Facebook post sparked a slew of responses. Her friends had heard
of labor camp horrors. But a letter from one of those camps? Never.
"I'm sure that person feared for his/her life to include that letter
in the products, but it was a chance they were obviously willing to
take," one friend wrote. "We take our freedom for granted!"
"What's weird to me is someone is actually thinking about, and
praying something comes of this ... every day of their life since they
sent it out," another wrote. "Makes me sad this even happens"
Some friends offered help, others asked for updates.
The anonymous letter evoked skepticism, too. Written largely in
English scrawl, it was almost too bold of an act to seem plausible.
Still, U.S. authorities on China took note.
"We're in no position to confirm the veracity or origin of this,"
said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch. "I think
it is fair to say the conditions described in the letter certainly
conform to what we know about conditions in re-education through labor
camps."
China's re-education through labor is a system of punishment that
allows for detention without trial. Various reports allege followers of
the banned spiritual group, Falun Gong, are sent to the reform camps –
claims supported in the letter – but the facts are difficult to confirm.
Masanjia labor camp is located in the industrialized capital of the
Liaoning Province in northeast China. A Google search of the camp yields
pages of grim results.
"If this thing is the real deal, that's somebody saying please help
me, please know about me, please react," Richardson said. "That's our
job."
***
If truly created in a forced labor camp, the Halloween graveyard kit
from Kmart's "Totally Ghoul" product line could bring a blow to the U.S.
chain of discount stores.
Title 19, section 1307 of U.S. Code generally prohibits the
importation of all items "mined, produced or manufactured" in any
foreign country by convict labor, forced labor and/or indentured labor.
After the Oregonian informed the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement about the letter, ICE's Homeland Security Investigations
began looking into the case, public affairs officer Andrew Munoz
confirmed.
Sears Holdings Corporation, which operates Kmart, released a statement on the matter:
"Sears Holdings has a Global Compliance Program which helps to ensure
that vendors and factories producing merchandise for our company adhere
to specific Program Requirements, and all local laws pertaining to
employment standards and workplace practices. Failure to comply with any
of the Program Requirements, including the use of forced labor, may
result in a loss of business or factory termination. We understand the
seriousness of this allegation, and will continue to investigate."
Daniel Ruiz, section chief of the National Intellectual Property
Rights Coordination Center's commercial fraud unit, said it would be
difficult to predict the length of an investigation like this, which
would involve American and Chinese authorities. Investigative findings
would be released, he said, only if the agency takes action.
***
Julie Keith now checks the label of everything she buys, down to the
Gingerbread house she purchased for the holidays. Her friends, she said,
do the same.
"If I really don't need it, I won't buy it if it's made in China,"
she said. "This has really made me more aware. I hope it would make a
difference."

Why did the Vikings call Jesus the White Christ?
Dear Viking Answer Lady:
Jesus is often refered to by the Vikings as the "White Christ". Thor was called "Red Thor." Thor is easily enough figured out. He has a red beard. But Christ? Certainly not all that "white". He was a Palestinian! I've heard Christ got his nickname "White Christ" for the white robes Christian converts wore. Is that true?
(signed) Questioning the Color Controversy
Gentle Reader:
The term for "White Christ" or Hvítakristr
came into currency among the heathen Icelanders at the time when pagan
and Christian religions were in conflict with each other. A direct
reference to this is made in the Flateyjarbók: "Þeir sem þann sið hafa, taka nafn af þeim guði, er þeir trúa á, er heitr Hvítakristr."
That the Christian god was called Hvítakristr was originally probably due to the fact that the newly baptized converts were obliged to wear white robes (i hvítaváðum) during the first week after the baptism.
The adjective hvítr when applied to Christ was
not meant to describe his physical appearance. At one time in the
development of Old Norse, the term was used of either sex to denote
someone who was blonde and/or pale-complected.
However, by the Viking Age, the term hvítr had acquired a perjorative connotation. To call a man hvítr was to say that he was cowardly, effeminate, and guilty of argr. (See the Viking Answer Lady's article on homosexuality in the Viking Age for more information on the term argr
and how it was related to to the concept of cowardice by the Vikings).
A related phrase was to say, "your liver is white" meaning again, a
coward... which is almost identical to modern English usage,
"lily-livered" with the same meaning. (Modern usage also uses "yellow"
in this sense.)
In stark contrast to the peace-loving Hvítakristr,
who was considered by a pagan warrior culture to be effeminate or
cowardly, the Vikings revered their manly, virile god Red Thórr, red
not only for his red beard and flashing red eyes, but likewise for the
blood that a warrior spills.
The conflict between pagan and Christian views crystallized around the dichotomy of Hvítakristr
and Red Thórr, becoming a recurring theme in saga events near the time
of the Conversion, as in this scornful poem by Steinunnn, mother of Refr
Gestasson, describing how Thórr wrecked the ship of a Christian priest,
Thangbrand, showing to Steinunn that Christ therefore was the weaker
god:
Þórr brá Þvinnils dýri Þangbrands ór stað longu, hristi borð ok beysti barðs ok laust við jorðu; munat skíð um sæ síðan sundfært Atals grundar, hregg því at hart tók leggja, hánum kennt, í spánu. |
[Thórr altered the course of Thangbrand's long horse of Thvinnil 1, he tossed and bashed the plank of the prow 2 and smashed it all down to the solid ground; the ski of the ground of Atall 3 won't later be buoyant on the sea since the baleful gale caused by him splintered it all into kindling. |
Braut fyrir bjollu gæti (bond ráku val strandar) mogfellandi mellu móstalls vísund allan; hlífðit Kristr, þá er kneyfði knorr, málfeta varrar; lítt hygg ek at Guð gætti Gylfa hreins at einu. |
The killer of ogresses' kin 4 pulverized fully the mew-perch bison 5 of the bell's guardian 6 (the gods chased the steed of the strand 7) Christ cared not for sea-shingle stepper 8 when cargo-boat crumbled; I think that God hardly guarded the reindeer of Gylfi 9 at all. |
|
It was during this period of conflict between religions
that amulets of Thórr's hammer, Mjollnir, increased in popularity as
ornaments,perhaps in response to Christians weraing the symbol of the
cross. Jewellers at this time were hedging their bets by making molds
for casting crosses and Thórr's Hammer's simultaneously, as is shown by
this tenth-century soapstone mold, found at Trendgården, Jylland,
Denmark.
Other amulets were hybrids representing the Cross and
the Hammer simultaneously, as in the silver pendant, found near Fossi in
Iceland, shown below.
The perjorative sense which became attached to hvitr was not associated with other words meaning white, including bjartr, "bright", bleikr, "wan, pale" or ljóss, "light".

In Finland, there’s a heavy metal band for children
You’re never too young to rupture your ear drums. Hevisaurus is a
Finnish heavy metal children’s music band, who dress in dinosaur
costumes. The band was started by Thunderstone drummer Mirka Rantanen.
Their first album, Kings of Jurassic Metal, was on the Finnish Album
charts for 10 weeks.
Now, you’ll never guess where this band came from. According to the
Hevisaurus back-story, the band members were hatched from five metal
eggs that had lain buried in a mountain from 65 million years in the
past. Lightning and witch spells apparently unearthed the eggs and
brought them to life.

The Hindu reports that sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar has died. He was 92.
Shankar began studying sitar in 1938 around age 18. His international fame grew in the 1960s when he befriended George Harrison. Shankar appeared at Woodstock in 1969 and participated in Harrison's 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. He was active right up until the end of his life -- he was just nominated for a 2013 Grammy Award.
Here's Shankar at the Concert for Bangladesh:

In northern Mali, music silenced as Islamists drive out artists - The Washington Post
BAMAKO, Mali — Khaira Arby, one of Africa’s most celebrated musicians, has performed all over the world, but there is one place she cannot visit: her native city of Timbuktu, a place steeped in history and culture but now ruled by religious extremists.
One
day, they broke into Arby’s house and destroyed her instruments. Her
voice was a threat to Islam, they said, even though one of her most
popular songs praised Allah.
Northern Mali, one of the richest reservoirs of music on the continent, is now an artistic wasteland. Hundreds of musicians have fled south to Bamako, the capital, and to other towns and neighboring countries, driven out by hard-liners who have decreed any form of music — save for the tunes set to Koranic verses — as being against their religion.
The exiles describe a shattering of their culture, in which playing music brings lashes with whips, even prison time, and MP3 and cassette players are seized and destroyed.
“We can no longer live like we used to live,” lamented Aminata Wassidie Traore, 36, a singer who fled her village of Dire, near Timbuktu. “The Islamists do not want anyone to sing anymore.”
In Malian society, music anchors every ceremony, from births and circumcisions to weddings and prayers for rains. Village bards known as griots sang traditional songs and poems of the desert, passing down centuries-old tales of empires, heroes and battles, as well as their community’s history. In this manner, memories were preserved from generation to generation, along with ancient African traditions and ways of life.
In current times, lyrics serve as a source of inspiration and learning, a way to pass down morals and values to youths. They have also been used to expose corruption and human rights abuses, and have helped eradicate stigmas and given a voice to the poor.
“In northern Mali, music is like oxygen,” said Baba Salah, one of northern Mali’s most-respected musicians. “Now, we cannot breathe.”
In March, amid a military coup that left the government in disarray, Tuareg rebels who once fought for Libyan autocrat Moammar Gaddafi joined forces with secessionists and Islamists linked to al-Qaeda. They swept through northern Mali, seizing major towns within weeks and effectively splitting this impoverished nation into two. Soon afterward, the Islamists and al-Qaeda militants took control.
They have installed an ultraconservative brand of Islamic law in this moderate Muslim country, reminiscent of Afghanistan’s Taliban and Somalia’s al-Shabab movements. Now, women must wear head-to-toe garments. Smoking, alcohol, videos and any suggestions of Western culture are banned. The new decrees are enforced by public amputations, whippings and executions, prompting more than 400,000 people to flee. The extremists also destroyed tombs and other cultural treasures, saying they were against Islamic principles.
The death of music was inevitable. It is, perhaps, Mali’s strongest link to the West. Musicians such as the late guitarist Ali Farka Toure, the Tuareg-Berber band Tinariwen and singers such as Salif Keita exported their music to the United States and Europe. They often collaborated with Western musicians.
Since
2001, Western artists such as Robert Plant have performed at the
Festival of the Desert, outside Timbuktu, transforming Mali into an
international artistic and tourist destination. In January, U2 frontman
Bono performed with Tinariwen. This February, though, the festival will
be held in neighboring Burkina Faso. The international recognition
helped spark a new generation of young artists in the north.
Some fused songs in their native Songhai and Tamashek languages with Arabic and French. Others melded traditional rhythms of the desert with rap, hip-hop, reggae, funk and blues. Bands weaved traditional Malian lute and fiddles with electric guitars.
In
recent times, the lyrics have addressed social and political issues.
In “Waidio,” Arby sings about the plight of women trapped by war. She
has also sung about Fulani cattle herders and the hard labor endured by
salt miners.
‘Music is against Islam’
Today,
in the city of Gao, 39-year-old singer Bintu Aljuma Yatare no longer
listens to music on her phone. The Islamists will confiscate it, she
said. Five musicians in her band have fled to neighboring Niger; two
others are in Bamako. She cannot leave because she has to take care of
her aging parents.
Every evening, she risks being sent to prison: She shuts the windows and doors of her house and sings in her native Songhai language. “Sometimes I lie in my bed and hum my songs softly,” she said. “The only way for me to survive this nightmare is through music.”
The other day, she wrote a song about the drivers who take people out of northern Mali to safer pastures.
For reggae musician Alwakilo Toure, his home in Gao was not a sanctuary. He was strumming his guitar when six armed militants barged into his compound. With guns pointed at his head, one Islamist grabbed the guitar and smashed it to bits with his foot. “The guitar was my life,” Toure recalled. “I had nothing else to do.”
Two weeks later, he fled to Bamako.
In a telephone interview, one of the Islamists’ top commanders declared that his fighters would continue to target musicians.
“Music is against Islam,” said Oumar Ould Hamaha, the military leader of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, one of the three extremist groups controlling the north. “Instead of singing, why don’t they read the Koran? Why don’t they subject themselves to God and pray? We are not only against the musicians in Mali. We are in a struggle against all the musicians of the world.”
Artists without a home
In
a cramped apartment in Bamako, about a dozen young artists were
recording a song, a fusion of rap and traditional melodies. In one
corner, there was a microphone and a computer to mix the tracks. Next to
that was a synthesizer.
All
the artists were from northern Mali, and none were playing with their
own instruments because they had either been burned or shattered by the
Islamists. The group included Toure, who was coaching a singer.
But their escape to Bamako is bittersweet.
It
has been difficult for the musicians to earn money in the capital.
They sing in the languages of the north, but most people in Bamako
speak only the southern Bambara language.
“In Bamako, people don’t understand what we sing,” Toure said. “It really hurts us that we can’t perform. Most of us don’t have jobs. Many of us now rely on our relatives for money.” But even in exile, they have found a way to take a stand against the Islamists.
“We feel like soldiers,” said Kiss Diouara, a 24-year-old rapper. “This is our way to fight our war.”
A
few minutes later, he played his group’s most recent creation. The
video included a collage of news clips and photos of Islamists
destroying ancient mosques and asserting their power. In the video,
Diourra raps:
Free the North
We want peace in our land
We want to go back to our homes
Arby understands. For the past eight months, she has lived out of a suitcase.
Arby knows she could easily travel outside Mali for work. Her 2010 album, “Timbuktu Tarab,” was widely acclaimed in the West. She had opportunities to settle in the United States, she said.
But Mali is where she is most inspired, specifically in Timbuktu, she said.
“When
I think of Timbuktu, I am lost,” said Arby, wiping a sudden tear that
trickled down her cheek. “When I dream of Timbuktu, I wake up. When I
think of Timbuktu when I am speaking, I stop speaking. My heart is
broken. Timbuktu is everything to me.”

Katy Perry Teams Up With Anti-Taxers to Fight Big Government
A coalition of 125 celebrity musicians, including pop singer Katy Perry, have joined forces with anti-tax advocates including Grover Norquist and the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) to oppose an intellectual property "reform" bill that critics charge expands government to the detriment of the free market.
Opponents say the Internet Radio Fairness Act, being pushed by Sen.
Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Rep. Jared Polis
(D-Colo.) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), would mandatorily lower the
licensing fees paid by Internet radio giant Pandora, moving the
royalties system further away from a free market and instead entrenching
a system in which government sets compensation rates while picking
winners and losers.
It has anti-tax and free market groups including Americans for Tax
Reform (ATR), NTU, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, the American
Conservative Union and Citizens Against Government Waste crying foul on
those grounds.
In his letter to members of Congress, ATR's Norquist asserts "the
standard in IRFA moves in an even worse direction towards forced
below-market rates."
Artists are concerned that if passed, the bill would amount to
government artificially limiting the earnings that musicians - celebrity
and not - are able to make from their trade in the marketplace.
That has Perry and others including rapper Ludacris, Britney Spears,
Rihanna, Cee Lo Green, Sheryl Crow, Maroon 5, Pink Floyd and Rush
speaking out via a letter published this month in Billboard magazine.
In that letter, the musicians assert that Pandora is "asking Congress
once again to step in and gut the royalties that thousands of musicians
rely upon." The signatories note that for over a decade, they have
accepted a discounted royalty rate from Pandora because they are "big
fans" of the service.
The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the proposed
legislation this week, and proponents hope to advance it in the next
Congress.

IMAO » Blog Archive » Cthulhu Third Party Candidacy at an End
R’lyeh, South Pacific (NPN) – Potential presidential candidate Cthulhu has made it official: he has decided not to run as a third party “greater of evils” option in this year’s U.S. Presidential race.
“I just don’t see the point,” a somber Cthulhu said. “I mean, my
platform has always been the total and utter destruction and
subjugation of the human race, starting with the United States. But this
year, there is already a candidate who can help accomplish these
things.”
Cthulhu worries that running for president could jeopardize the Obama campaign by stealing votes from the misanthropic and nihilist segments of the Democrat base, which are sizable, but not enough to win an election on.
“The worst thing that can happen here, is that people select the lesser of evils, Mitt Romney. I just can’t be party to that, when I am such an outspoken proponent of the greater of evils in an election.” said Cthulhu, while eating one of our reporters. “Mmm nom nom, um, if Obama keeps up what he is doing, *burrrrrp*, then I could take the election in 2016, and the United States will be so broken by then, it will be child’s play to finish the work I intend to do.”
In other news, while it was speculated that General Zod would also enter the race again, very little has been heard out of his camp. Zod himself was unavailable for comment when asked about it, but a spokesperson did respond to NPN’s inquest.
“The General has not made a decision on whether he will run this year, or, more likely, simply take over the world.” said the Zod spokesperson. “Kneel before Zod.”
