Happy Hour
by Johnny Ngo
A Monterey Park Short Film
Tea house drama
"Writer and Alhambra resident Johnny Ngo spends a lot of time at tea shops. The 26-year-old noticed that the young people who worked there did too. And what struck him was they seemed to love it; they actually had created a social environment based on their place of employment. As a film student at Pasadena Art Center, Ngo explored what happens to these people when the workplace disappears in his short "Happy Hour." Alhambra Source talked with Ngo about tea house culture, why he prefers writing in the San Gabriel Valley to Silver Lake, and his love-hate relationship with the area. ..."

News Corp. and the Global Economy
The revenge of the Creatives...
I always thought that News Corp. and their brands such as Fox News, just made it up. Despite jingoistic slogans such as "Fair and Balanced", they seem to pull stuff out of thin air, without regard to reality.
It was with great interest that one of my sources in Canberra Australia sent me a piece from the Weekly Times, in Melbourne, a Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. publication. It was a very interesting piece about the evolution of the global the economic space over the last few years. After our group took a look at this we decided by Saturday afternoon it was a very interesting piece of satirical comedy, with a great connection to reality and obviously written by a brilliant creative writer. This left us rather confused, where the hell did News Corp. get the ability to write with such fresh and brilliant creative approach.
The writer of this piece can hold their own next to people like Jon Stuart, Tina Fey, Barry Crimmins, Clifford Tasner and be easily be hired for the crew on Saturday Night Live.

Yesterday we received information from the source in Canberra that solved our dilemma, Murdoch's group doesn't write most of the stuff, they sweep it up with phone tapping. This presented another challenge, with News Corp's little phone tapping enterprise, they must operate globally, and rival the NSA’s capability.
A quick phone call to an old colleague, who is the senior communications expert at a world-class, Menlo Park think tank, provided the answer. His opinion was from first-hand knowledge, is that News Corp. hired four young computer whiz kids to make their job easier. They retained high school seniors from Palo Alto high school, who had a reputation of being computer science geniuses. In rather short order they created a back door into AT&T's room 641A at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco.
So what's in room 641A? Well the room is filled with rack after rack of Narus STA 6400 standalone traffic analyzers, which collect real-time customer communications. What did News Corp. get? The same ability that AT&T’s customer, the NSA has, the ability to vacuum up anybody's phone communication and deliver it as both a voice recording and a text transcript.
That brings us to another interesting event that happened yesterday, Kim Dotcom appeared in an Auckland, New Zealand courtroom and declared, "I am not a pirate". For some months now the FBI has had a Tiger Team working in New Zealand with police officials to bring down Kim Dotcom’s global criminal empire. Our Canberra sources informed us this morning that the FBI Tiger team has now moved on to Melbourne to assist the Victorian police in cracking Murdoch's global wire tapping empire... check back the Benny's blog and see this story unfold in the next few weeks.
What we have is an unknown Australian writer who should call Jon Stewart first thing today.
... and here now is the news…

MODERN VENTURE CAPITALISM
MODERN VENTURE CAPITALISM
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get your cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
You sell one cow to buy a new president of the USA, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.

HEY USA, it's your choice...
A Third World USA or a few more taxes?
al-Qaeda and their friends have obtained
much more than they could have imagined.
Their actions have lead to the bankrupting
of the USA and set the country onto a fast
ride of paranoia and fear, to become a
third world nation.
From his first day in office, GWB was hell
bent to destroy the middle class and Obama
kept right on with this insane policy. When
I was a young man, I called this 'a scorched
earth retreat', I guess nothing much has
changed...
The electorate stood by and let the Supreme
Court decide that GWB should win the 2000
election, re-elected him in 2004 and filled
the congress in 2008 with inexperienced
legislators, who believe that "Me First" is
best and that the USA is not on planet earth...
Iraq and Afghanistan will cost the USA
half a trillion dollars this year, when you
count the published budget, the black
budget and the 'off the books' appropria-
tions. The defense budget has increased
by 85% in the last ten years and the US
will spend more on defense this year, than
the next five countries combined. $3.5
trillion was stolen from the Social
Security Trust Fund and we are told
that, "we can't afford to pay it back" All
of this, while the domestic fabric of our
nation is being disintegrated and dissociated.

Well then the people must decide, as
California's Governor Jerry Brown is doing
his best to show all of us, we either pay
a little more in taxes along with the cuts...
Or it's a Third World USA.

Fukushima Daiichi
If you don't know what Fukushima
Daiichi is, Google it.
ReCriticality, if you don't know what
this is, Google it
Fukushima Daiichi reached the
"Tipping Point" for ReCriticality, 8
days ago and if we don't get there,
it's only because she is a woman
with a fierce sense of humor.
And why is it that ReCriticality is a
word that cannot be spoken or printed...
well, we have been lied to since 1952,
about it's possibility.
Japan’s Prime Minister
Says Can’t Let Down
Guard Over Reactor
PS: There are almost 2,000 tons of
Plutonium rich spent fuel stored
in the Reactor buildings at Daiichi,
high density, double stacked in
empty or leaking pools. The only thing
preventing a BIG BANG is a small
amount of residual Boron on the tubes.
But don't worry they are rinsing the Boron
off, by pumping in non-Boron treated
seawater in an attempt put the fires out...
A BIG BANG heard around the World.
