A place called Home -- just don't turn around too fast
Li Suet-wen and her
son, 6, and daughter, 8, live in a 120-square foot room crammed with a
bunk bed, small couch, fridge, washing machine and small table in an
aging walkup in Hong Kong as she pays HK$4,500 ($580) a month in rent
and utilities. That’s nearly half the HK$10,000 ($1,290) she earns at a
bakery decorating cakes.: photo by Kin Cheung/AP, 17 March 2017

apartments, “coffin homes” and other inadequate housing.: photo by Kin Cheung/AP, 4 May 2017

Chan Duong Ly, 85, a monk at the Wat Phia Wat monastery in Muang Khoun, the former capital of Xieng Khouang province. The city was extensively bombed during the war and almost totally abandoned in 1975. The monastery, which dates back to 1322, was bombed by the US in 1966 because it was suspected of having been converted into a food storage area used by the North Vietnamese. The blackened and scarred Buddha statue in the monastery courtyard is among the few remains of the pre-war period.: photo by Matilde Gattoni/Tandem Reportage via The Observer, 31 January 2015

Nyoua Yang, 16, from Nam Kha,
lost her right eye one afternoon in 2009, when the hoe she was using to
clear the grass from her family’s rice field hit a cluster bomb. ‘ I
just remember a small explosion, then a piece of shrapnel went into my
eye.’ Yang, who was 11 at that time, lost her eye after a doctor refused
to operate on her because she was too young.: photo by Matilde Gattoni/Tandem Reportage via The Observer, 31 January 2015
Hillary Clinton has long invoked Henry Kissinger as a mentor -- her infamous emails show that they corresponded with some frequency when she was secretary of state. Kissinger, architect of the "Operation Menu" covert bombing campaign in Laos and Cambodia in 1969-70, is widely perceived as a war criminal. He also won a Nobel Peace Prize.: photo by Dirck Halstead via The Guardian, 13 February 2016

[By
8 December 1970] U.S. efforts to interdict the trail were in full swing
with the USAF's Operation Igloo White. Electronic surveillance devices
were dropped to monitor vehicle-and-troop movement in Laos, and a
constant orbit of manned and drone planes relayed the signals from under
the jungle blanket to the Infiltration Surveillance Center in Thailand.
There, two computers processed high-speed printouts showing which
sensors had been activated, how often, and when. Other computers fed
this information to an Airborne Battlefield Command and Control
aircraft which then called in appropriate
air power. A typical day over Laos saw the Ho Chi Minh Trail hit by
thirty B52 bomber strikes and three hundred USAF, USN, and USMC
aircraft. C130 transport planes, mounted with Gatling mini-guns, flew
night and day to strafe convoys and troop marches. Bombs mounted with
lasers and televisions were sent against cave entrances. Cluster bombs
were sowed over Binh Trams. Mines and booby-traps were airdropped, some
designed to demolish trucks, others to mangle a man's foot so he became a
burden to his comrades. The destruction was staggering...

To Kissinger
The amoeba is mountainous Hank!
It dwarfs your think tanks you neoid!
So jack off my octopus!
I don't care if you did make it with Barbara Walters of the Today Show!
Hit the deck 4 eyes!
The meat train won't be late for the grave and you're on it!
Jelly arms are coming for you across the black glyphs!
The cellophane is crinkling!
Earmuffs won't be enuf!
You big donkey made out of orlon!
Spirochetes et yr Mom!
Ach Nein!
When the storm of time movies hits the protein sources
Popeye'll take you one-on-one you shell of Frankenstein!
You'll climb off the food chain soon enuf anyhow Henry!
The gods of death live in yr shoes!

Remember when they told the protesters to go home because the pipeline was safe? That it wouldn't leak? That it'll be fine?
