Exceprt:

"The announcement came as Chinese authorities told state media that 45
legislators elected over the weekend to govern the 1,100 people who live on the
island groups of the Spratlys, the Paracels and the Macclesfield Bank � known in
Chinese as the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha islands � met for the first time on
Monday. ... The establishment of a legislature for the sparsely populated
islands, and the dispatch of soldiers, will antagonize Vietnam, which claims the
same islands. Vietnam and China have fought since the 1970s over the three
island groups, and last month, Vietnam passed a law that claimed sovereignty
over the Paracels and Spratly Islands. In response, China said the islands were
the "indisputable" territory of China."

excellent material!
but unfortunately a little tiresome to access various
links (some of which are now ineffective)...

could you at least post a small synopsis/excerpt from each
topic? or the entire article on a website?

Island 7.0 is now available online!

http://bbrace.net/islands/island7/island7.html
http://bradbrace.net/islands/island7/island7.html

Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media
pdf-ebooks/field-recordings
-- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. An
intensive
examination of small islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism...
Ethnographically a shared world of historical experience -- not the romanticized
and
divided universe of them and us.


Your feudal-world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe
some cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad
faith of it and as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole
life being an act of bad faith, where everything is self-interest and
nothing more, where every human interaction is driven by a silent, even
subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point that a sea
of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left
from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even
that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but
self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your
professed agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to
the conscience in order to assure it that it exists.

I believe you are wrong -- I checked every link and they all worked.

I found the headlines to be sufficient, in lieu of a synopsis. But there are
automated text-based services which will provide this, if you would like to make
a contribution to defray the cost of such a service. Send the payment via PayPal
to the Treasurer.

Best wishes

well for one, the Sri Lanka migration story yields a
"Forbidden 403" error... not sure what you mean by
"text-based automated service" (?) but it would be much less
taxing to have all the stories, or at least a synopsis on
one site... hope this helps, Bruce

Island 7.0 is now available online!
====================================
http://bbrace.net/islands/island7/island7.html
http://bradbrace.net/islands/island7/island7.html

Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media
pdf-ebooks/field-recordings
-- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. An
intensive
examination of small islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism...
Ethnographically a shared world of historical experience -- not the romanticized
and
divided universe of them and us.


Your feudal-world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe
some cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad
faith of it and as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole
life being an act of bad faith, where everything is self-interest and
nothing more, where every human interaction is driven by a silent, even
subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point that a sea
of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left
from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even
that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but
self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your
professed agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to
the conscience in order to assure it that it exists.

12 mailing list:

You cannot politically defy the institutions when all you really wanted
was to be clasped to their bosoms and hope in time to be cherished under
the very framework of oppressive values you are thinking of overcoming.
That would be co-optation, revolution only in the sense of a circulation
of elites rather than the extirpation of the very impulses of elitism.

A good example of an article relying on two mutually supportive popular
narratives (finance capital and colonialism as saviour) to justify the
maintenance of an economic system, which ironically, is more harmful to islands
than to continental territories. What nonsense.

Excerpt:

"It's a monumental shift for the territory of 56,000 people where zero direct
taxation, friendly regulations and the global money they lured in recent decades
helped transform the economy of the island chain, a dependency of Jamaica until
1959 [sic], from a reliance on seafaring, fishing and rope-making. Government
data show 91,712 companies were registered as of March 2011. A total of 235
banks, including most of the world's top 50 banks, held licenses at the end of
June as did 758 insurance companies. Assets for the registered companies
totalled $1.607 trillion last September, down from $1.725 trillion a year
earlier."
