...For being gone really.  Just been feeling lazy lately with regard to posting things.  I kept putting it off until tomorrow, and well you know how it goes.  Anyway  Tomorrow or today if you want to be technical (this is being written at 00:21 to be exact) will include a Fresh From the Front, the first of the promised Gunslinger Girl reviews, a couple of posts on who knows what.  So until then look at the pretty picture of the only thing cool about the whole Gundam franchise, the models.

Well this should help, more on the brutality and needless cruelty of the illegitimate regeime in Beijing.  From the Taipei Times: EDITORIAL: China's other ethnic cleansing.

     While human rights organizations often focus on Beijing's repression of Tibetans and rights advocates throughout China, one group of people, the Uyghurs, has not received the attention a plight of their magnitude should warrant.

     This could, in part, be the result of Uyghurs being concentrated in Xinjiang, whose remoteness makes reporting on the situation there more onerous. Beijing's cynical exploitation of the US-led "war on terrorism" since Sept. 11, 2001, as it represses this Muslim minority is also part of the reason why their suffering remains largely unknown. Readers may recall Huseyin Celil, the Canadian Uyghur who in April was sentenced to life in prison for alleged "terrorist activities." Celil, sadly, still languishes in jail and Ottawa has grown conspicuously silent on the matter. In the past six years, more than 3,000 Uyghurs have been arrested on similar charges.

     Last week, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Rebiya Kadeer, who lives in exile in the US after spending five years in prison for defending Uyghur rights (or, as Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang (秦剛) said in September, for conniving with "terrorist forces abroad" and spreading "state secrets"), accused Chinese authorities of forcibly relocating as many as 240,000 young Uyghur women out of Xinjiang, where the so-called "work opportunities" awaiting them are in reality a descent into exploitative factory work and possibly worse.

     The world must be reminded, and reminded comtinuously of just what it is that the Communists are doing to the innocent people under their control.  I can think of no fate worse than to be consigned to living an opressive, dictitoral, commustic country where one lives at the mercy of the whims of some "politically rleiable" party hack.  Commucisn has killed more people than any other ideology and has done so in a shorter period of time than any other, it is evil, and it must be destroyed.
