Speeding KMT

An idea is suddenly a new law? 

That's What Happened these last two days in Taiwan's legislative bureau. 

The scrambling of the legislators on Jan. 18 was their respective attempts to stop or aid the final strike of the gavel in the passing of an amendment.  KMT refers to the heavy-handed day of action as "The Way A Political Party Should Act".

After the first week of getting along with the 3 new (DPP) legislators at the office, the KMT realises they might lose more seats in the next legislators election on Feb. 27th, and suddenly rushes through an amendment that makes voting for local representatives effectively useless.

It basically establishes that while Taiwan continues to vote for their regional representatives, the people working FOR the regional representatives are now appointed by the KMT and not the representative.

There's another problem-

The amendment supposedly passed with 68 votes, but all the legislators were on stage with not one seated to cast a vote.  This is the creation of paper so-called evidence; legislator and FTV founder Chai Tong Rong refers to it as "The Darkest Era".

It is democracy speeding in reverse.

Chai Tong Rong appears on news channel 53's 頭家來開講 ("Head of House Opens Talks") with a clear message, Taiwan is being forced to face a future with "No Choice".

陳雲林 Chen YunLin Tries To Steal Christmas

China's emissary Chen YunLin (陳雲林) is visiting Taichung, Taiwan, to discuss ECFA from December 21 to 25, in a desperate effort to ruin the holiday season and good will towards men in the usually relaxed and sunny central city.

His visit to Taipei City last November was met with more animosity than he thought the Taiwanese people capable of.

In one of the calmer moments outside the Jing Hua Hotel in Taipei, satirical cartoonist "Fisherman" (魚夫) leads a protest with the founder of Ming Shi FTV 民視, a channel prominent in the Pro-Democracy movement, Mr Chai Tong Rong (at 3:45min.).



This year, the KMT have "asked" many stores along Taichung's wider streets to close shop days before the arrival, hindering daily business to give the Chinese man the impression of a warm reception, and wasting Taiwan's tax dollars on bodygaurds for the visitor that has already overstayed his welcome.

Thus, Fisherman is among the many media personalities calling the nation's population to document the behavioural details of Mr Chen during this visit: through the widespread use of mobile phones, live videos, and footage uploads to Youtube.com, the idea is to "catch him alive", so to speak.



Chen YunLin's persistent visits to our country aggravate the traffic, business, and livelihood of the busy Taiwanese people enough without the distractions (barriers) put in place by the fiscally irresponsible KMT. We are not impressed. Go Away: "Do not pass GO, do not collect 200 dollars".
