The first one is a 60-second film about China running at New York's Times Square from Jan. 17 to Feb. 14, meant to coincide with Chairman Hu Jintao’s arrival to the U.S. It is part of a multi-billion dollar campaign to renovate China's public image. The second video, on the other hand, is quite distrubing,&nbsp;and here is WSJ's interpretation: A&nbsp;boy dreams about white rabbits, representing regular Chinese citizens, living under the tyrannical rule of tigers who do nothing as the rabbits’ children are poisoned with tainted milk, who tear down their homes, who beat them, and who run them over with speeding cars—all referencing major public controversies in the past few years that have caused public outrage.At the end of the boy’s dream, the rabbits reach the end of their patience and storm into what appears to be a government building in a bloody attack against the tigers, ripping their rulers’ heads off with sharpened teeth in a melee of animated gore.OK, then.&nbsp; Anyone interested in the translation may find it here.

The latest with Ireland is that European Union (EU) officials estimate that a rescue package may amount to about 85 billion euros ($114 billion). That news sent S&amp;P&nbsp;issuing a new downgrade on Ireland's sovereign debt. However, Ireland (along with Spain and Portugal, etc.) has mostly been factored in, so the new development in Korea is what really jolted the market (or some may say the market is dying for an excuse to correct.) The latest conflict between North and South Korea could be counted as one of the most dramatic confrontations since the Korean War in 1953. Based on Seoul's account, it all started with North Korea warning the South to halt military drills near their disputed sea border. The South, naturally did not comply, and the North retaliated by shelling the small island of Yeonpyeong (clip below). According to AP, Seoul responded by unleashing its own K-9 155mm self-propelled howitzers and scrambling fighter jets. Two South Korean marines were killed and 15 troops and three civilians were also injured. There are&nbsp;no confirmed casualties from North Korea yet. The communist side warned of more military strikes if the South violates the maritime border by "even 0.001 millimeter," while South Korea vowed "massive retaliation" should North Korea attack again.&nbsp; This confrontation came on the heel of another conflict.&nbsp;&nbsp;In March, North Korea was blamed for attacking and sinking the South Korean warship Cheonan while on routine patrol, killing 46 sailors.&nbsp; The North denied responsibility.&nbsp; The U.S. reacted by President Obama issuing statement "strongly condemned the attack" and that the U.S. “stands shoulder to shoulder” with South Korea on this. Meanwhile, China--still neck-deep in a similar border dispute with Japan and other neighboring countries--issued a relatively indifferent "call for calm" statement. I've seen "World War III" and "Gulf War III" mentioned in some news articles over this event, but believe it is an unlikely scenario. A Korean War II serves nobody's interest, including North Korea. And I imagine China is fully aware of how much disruption a Korean war II would bring to its economy. On the other hand, I would&nbsp;be more worried&nbsp;about a third Sino-Japanese War, since there's a fresh stand-off between Chinese and Japanese patrol boats just past weekend near their disputed islands. China is indeed Korea times 1,000 or worse when it comes to size and fire power, not to mention the feud with Japan runs deeper than the one between the two Korea's. So, it seems King Dollar still reigns supreme as long as there's a faintest threat of war and chaos, which will likely give people such as&nbsp;Joe Weisenthal an excuse to continue praising QE2 Is Not Bad For the Dollar.

From the YouTube video, the Chinese fishing boat--Minjinyu 5179--collided twice with Japanese coast guard ships Yonakuni, and another collision with patrol boat the Mizuki. The whole footage was 44-minute long, and&nbsp;only&nbsp;the actual collision&nbsp;part is posted here. The video looks like was taken from the Japanese coastguard boat, and had previously only been shown to Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, security officials and some lawmakers, but not released to the public. Japanese foreign minister Seiji Maehara told a parliamentary committee that the Japanese government would investigate the leak. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said that the collision had occurred because the Japanese coastguard was undertaking "illegal operations" within Chinese territorial waters in the East China Sea. "The so-called video cannot either change such a fact or cover up Japan's illegality," Hong said in a statement on the ministry's website. From the news coverage I've read so far, most marine experts believe these leaked videos do not establish that the Minjinyu 5179 deliberately rammed the Japanese ships. Meanwhile, Google's got flack in Japan over these leaked videos as well. Tokyo prosecutors have seized Google's records in order to investigate how the leak managed to happen. Some worried that this could reignite more tension and dispute, but I personally don't think things could get any worse regardless of these leaked videos.

The chairmanoreply@blogger.com (Static Chaos)By Static Chaos Jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo (劉曉波) won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "two decades of non-violent struggle for human rights". China is totally livid and called the award "an obscenity" as reported by Reuters.  The chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, holds up a photograph of Liu Xiaobo Liu Xiaobo, a former literature professor, was initially detained on&nbsp;December 8, 2008 due to his participation with Charter 08, a manifesto to promote political reform and democratization in the People's Republic of China. He was subsequently sentenced to 11 years in jail. More than 8,100 people inside and outside of China have signed Charter 08 since its release. Beijing, who had warned the Nobel Institute against granting the prize to Liu this summer, immediately summoned Norway's ambassador to protest. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu declared in a statement "This is an obscenity against the peace prize." Reportedly, CNN and BBC broadcasts in Beijing were cut when the prize was mentioned. Liu's wife Liu Xia told Reuters Chinese police was taking her to Liu Xiaobo's prison in northeastern China to prevent foreign reporters speaking to her. The West, including Britain, France, Germany, the European Union, and the United Nations, although congratulated Liu, were all very careful to avoid saying anything sensitive that would upset China. "Peace, Self-perseverance,&nbsp;A Strong China" was&nbsp;the final wish of&nbsp;Dr. Sun Yat-sen (孫中山) before he had a chance to fully implement&nbsp;the Three Principles of the People (三民主義) - Nationalism (民族), Democracy (民權) and the People's Livelihood (民生). Judging from the muted reactions from&nbsp;the Western world,&nbsp;it appears China is&nbsp;finally getting stronger after centuries plagued by foreign invasions and internal turmoils.&nbsp; However, the newly minted status also has come with a huge price tag of&nbsp;Democracy&nbsp;and People's Livelihood&nbsp;- two of the Three Principles.&nbsp; And&nbsp;if history is of any indication,&nbsp;no country and/or political system would&nbsp;last&nbsp;long&nbsp;without all three principles as part of its&nbsp;foundation.&nbsp; &nbsp; Video Source: ReutersBy Static Chaos Jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo (劉曉波) won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "two decades of non-violent struggle for human rights".

Here is the low-down according to WSJ (my summary): The SEC cited the case involved municipal bonds in 79 separate offerings totaling $26 billion from 2001 to 2007 where the state didn't disclose it had abandoned a five-year plan to fund the pension plans. The filing described NJ used a series of accounting maneuvers to create an illusion that it was funding the two pensions totaling $62 billion, when it actually was just moving money around, and alleged misled investors. Now, here comes the part about the Irish Luck (my summary based on NYT) SEC settled its suit with New Jersey by issuing a cease-and-desist order, which the state accepted without admitting or denying the findings. No penalties were imposed. Neither individual, nor the bond underwriters was charged. New Jersey’s largest bond underwriters during the period in question include Citigroup, J. P. Morgan Securities, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Barclays Capital. So basically, New Jersey pulled an Enron accounting trick without any consequences.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you imagine any corporations or private citizens would get off this easy? Some fines or penalties have got to be involved, at the minimum, and some employee(s) and the underwriters would be charged as well. Well, as it happens,&nbsp;SEC currently has authority over companies regarding disclosure, but with munis, all it can do is bring a case if it suspects fraud. Furthermore, no investors appeared to have been harmed, and imposing any sizable fines and/or penalties would probably bankrupt New Jersey. So this&nbsp;most likely explained why NJ got just a little slap on the wrist. (By the way, The SEC has asked Congress for expanded authority.) However, what's more worrisome is that WSJ noted that "States as a whole face a trillion-dollar gap between the pensions, health care and other retirement benefits they have promised to public employees, and the money set aside to pay the benefits, according to a report by the Pew Center on the States. The SEC said it is concerned about how these problems are disclosed to investors." Chart Source: WSJ.com With&nbsp;New Jersey as a precedent, muni investors probably should not expect too much&nbsp;accountability and protection&nbsp;from the SEC.By Static Chaos One of the headline news today was that New Jersey became the first U.S. state sued by the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) for security fraud.

CNN Money reports that Hornbeck, like many Gulf oil service providers, has one-third of its sales coming&nbsp; from contracting its 200-plus-foot vessels to provide transport services for deepwater drilling operations in the Gulf. Without drilling, vessels were sitting idle. While larger players may seek work in the international water by redeploying vessels and personnel, it is quite cost inhibitive for smaller companies like Hornbeck to pursue that route. A dozen other Gulf-based businesses with more than 10,000 employees joined Hornbeck in the suit, while Louisiana governor Jindal also threw in his support. Their argument centered on the legality of the ban when many drillers met all regulatory requirements. Gulf of Mexico driller Diamond Offshore also filed a separate law suit against the Administration over the legality of the moratorium on June 17. The Hornbeck case culminated with an injunction against the ban issued by U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans. However, no one is going back to work in the Gulf&nbsp;due to the lingering uncertainty. White House has filed an immediately appeal, while the Interior Dept. is mulling a "modified" moratorium. Not surprisingly, a lot of hoopla is going around about Judge Feldman's stock portfolio. Various media reports indicated that Judge Feldman sold stock in Exxon Mobil Corp just hours before his ruling. In reality, if we look around, almost everyone owns Exxon stocks in some shape or form through pensions, 401K's, mutual funds, ETFs, etc. since Exxon is a typical blue chip with nice dividend payout. The bottom line is that it would be quite difficult&nbsp;for anyone&nbsp;to extricate from the "Exxon stock association." Last but not least, Exxon is like&nbsp;20 times removed from the BP Macondo well explosion. The conflict of interest argument some are attempting to hang on Judge Feldman seems nothing more than a political ploy. Meanwhile, this news video from CNN gives a refreshing perspecitve&nbsp;on BP and ofshore drilling from the regular&nbsp;working people in Louisiana.

A "blog" at Forbes&nbsp;penned by Helman cited the NewsWatch Energy blog at Houston Chronicle that "Judge Martin Feldman.....has owned stock in more than a dozen oil and gas companies, including two involved in the Deepwater Horizon disaster: Transocean and Halliburton. Feldman's 2008 financial disclosure report shows investments in gulf players Hercules Offshore, ATP Oil &amp; Gas, Rowan Companies and Parker Drilling."However, Helman forgot or chose to omit&nbsp;one pretty important paragraph from the same&nbsp;Houston Chronicle post: "Some of those stocks were sold during the reporting period."Furthermore, according to&nbsp;the "Update" section by Mr. Tom Fowler,&nbsp;author&nbsp;of the same post&nbsp;at Houston Chronicle: "Some environmental groups are already releasing statements noting what appears to be a conflict of interest on the part of Judge Feldman.... However, a lawyer with non-profit public interest law firm Earthjustice told the Chronicle..that the organization did not ask for a recusal, nor did the issue ever come up."So, in layman's term --NO, there's no evidence&nbsp;that&nbsp;Feldman&nbsp;still had&nbsp;those said stocks&nbsp;at the end of 2008, nor that&nbsp;he still holds them&nbsp;during&nbsp;the period of the moratorium hearing.&nbsp;&nbsp;And...YES, the environmental groups&nbsp;would love nothing more than to see&nbsp;Feldman&nbsp;recused on conflict, but were unable to raise it as a&nbsp;cause.&nbsp;&nbsp; This renders the Forbes "blog" pretty much&nbsp;irrelevant in what appears to be an attempt linking&nbsp;conflict of interest to a federal judge, who happened&nbsp;to have ruled&nbsp;against the drilling moratorium on legal and constitutional ground.&nbsp; In any case, even if this allegation were legit,&nbsp;it would have paled&nbsp;in comparison to the blatant conflict of interest by&nbsp;Matt Simmons' TV sensationalism. Well, this is just one example of&nbsp;the sad but real picture of what has become of today's headline-chasing media and the so-called journalism. Or could it be that since&nbsp;more and more reporters are becoming "bloggers" to drive web traffic, but still with the legal protection&nbsp;from&nbsp;their&nbsp;major media employers, this&nbsp;is a conspiracy&nbsp;to discredit the real blogosphere, who's driving them out of business?&nbsp; Just one theory.... &nbsp; By Static Chaos&nbsp;By Static Chaos The ink of the ruling&nbsp;against the offshore drilling moratorium is not even&nbsp;dry yet,&nbsp;the media is&nbsp;already jumping all over that Judge Martin Feldman is "greased...<br/> <br/> [[ This is a content summary only.

It looks like Transocean has spent much focus on&nbsp;transforming&nbsp;the blue-collar image traditionally&nbsp;associated with an oil serivce company.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, one has to wonder if&nbsp;the Gulf oil spill&nbsp;could be prevented had&nbsp;the same devotion&nbsp;been dedicated to the&nbsp;Horizon&nbsp;rig by Transocean (RIG) as well as BP.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Static ChaosBy Static Chaos I came across this clip on YouTube.&nbsp;&nbsp;According the video author, Transocean (RIG) President and CEO Steven Newman performed a dance--Bollywood style--at the company's...<br/> <br/> [[ This is a content summary only.
