34名中国矿工冤魂的呼号在山谷中回荡了140年，凶手全部逍遥法外。Nokes教授指出：“毫无罪孽感，毫无悲痛的表示，毫无悔意，毫无付出代价毫无后果承担” "there has been no manifestation of guilt, no expression of sorrow, no regret, no price paid, no consequences." 蛇河是爱达荷州与俄勒冈州的天然分界线，河流经过的这个山谷叫地狱谷（Hells Canyon）。2005年美国地理名称委员会正式命名河畔这处为： Chinese Massacre Cove 。 1877年5月27日前后两天时间，一伙白人在这条河边击毙34名淘金的华工 并斧头砍下头颅 ，由于这个地方非常隐蔽这令人发指的罪行无人知晓。不料两个礼拜后数具尸体冲到60英里的下游。当地警察敷衍了事，于是三藩市的华人公司重金雇佣当地白人 Joseph Vincent。 Joseph Vincent侦查出 是一帮臭名昭著的盗牛马团伙犯下的惨案并说服了其中一人出庭做证。但是其中三人在被逮捕前就跑掉了，法庭上尽管有污点证人作证，被们承认为了抢中国人的金子杀了他们。令人愤怒的是：在34条血淋淋的尸首在面前，陪审团竟然无罪释放了这三个被告！ George S. Craig事后对人 说：‘假如这34人是白人，他们就会惩治凶手。可惜死者都是中国人，没人认识他们也没人在乎他们，所以把他们放了。’ George S. Craig有个木屋，他认识行凶团伙里面的一个人，那个人租用他的木屋，所以 George S. Craig对这起屠杀案知道一些情况。 被告说杀害34人是为了抢黄金，但是并没有从被告那里搜出黄金。而且，当地人认为在那个地点如果是为了抢黄金，完全没必要夺命。 这里有必要提醒当时的美国西部的政治社会背景：1870年代和1880年代153起排华骚乱纪录在案。 1877年美国西部掀起疯狂的排华潮，烧杀打砸华人非常普遍.也就是说，那个年代西部白人出于对华人的仇恨而杀人夺命是普通的事。 何止没人被定罪，1990年初的一个新的发现又证明有官员故意掩盖这个重大命案。大约是1970-1980年，镇上以为职员从地下室在旧文件柜里发现了当年这34名矿工的文件包含新的犯罪细节。一个历史学家认为这是美国历史上白人对华人最惨烈的一场屠杀，也是俄勒冈州历史上最大屠杀。然而，俄勒冈的历史纪录上不写此事，惨案地点也没有个标牌，当地很多人认为最好是忘记了这件事。然而当地一位75岁退休镇官员 Vern Russell愿意谈论此事，他的 叔公（爷爷的兄弟）Frank E. Vaughn 当年就在屠杀现场并且法庭作证，他的证词是最详尽的。 Vern Russell说我爸爸告诉我，这个Frank罪大恶极。确实， 他的 叔公作证说，他与另外两人与三个偷牛马家伙合谋杀害中国矿工，然后那三大盗带他们去的。已故华盛顿州立大学教授 David H. Stratton收集材料并曝光于世人：第一天 这些冷血凶手们从陡峭的山谷上瞄准河边 毫无防备的矿工 击毙10人，次日打死船边8名工人，又找到另外一个营地13名工人. Stratton 教授在他1983年的论文里写到：美国西部发生的排华暴力事件中，无论是白人还是印第安人犯下的，蛇河屠杀的残暴恐怕是无案可及的。 140年过去了，以史为鉴， 今天我们华人的地位和政治实力在哪里？我们对排外情绪的危害有足够的警惕吗？ 且不要说重演 排华法案，就是作为人口多数的白人心里的那种排外反移民的情绪卷土而来，会如何影响我们和后代？别忘了，尽管少数族裔人口在增加，但是美国各式各样的权利，财富和舆论还是掌握在白人手里。 （惨案中文为：蛇河惨案，英文为： Snake River Massacre, Hells Canyon Massacre。）
若干年前，在CMF (Chinese Military Forum) 以及网上其他地方经常遇到朝鲜战争的争论。于是我决定写一个朝鲜战争常见问题 （ Korean War FAQ )。写完之后，在 CMF 偶尔会有美军前来质疑，我都回应到，本人写的经过了考证多方资料，你们要能指出一个错误，我感谢你们。多年来，无人能提出什么异见。 大约2001年左右，有个美国人同事（计算机方面的）一天突然对我说，想不到你还是个 Historian 。原来是在网上看到了这个 Korean War FAQ。 今天我在 Google Books 里搜索 ，发现下列书籍引用了 Korean War FAQ 作为参考资料： The Korean War: An Annotated Bibliography https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1135223947 Keith D.

以下是我在微信群中部分发言的汇编，大部分是针对其他网友观点的回应。微信讨论嘛，比较随意，就不要苛求前后连贯了，从我的文字就可以看出针对的观点是什么。比如说，有人说为何要拿出美国使用催泪瓦斯做例子。 The British Empire's policy towards colonial territories has been consistent over the centuries. They ruled HK much like they dominated India. The only difference was that PRC had a powerful military ready to impose the will of the Chinese nation. Tear gas is frequently used in the U.S. against protesters. HK people are not above the law. Check out the Occupy Wall Street videos. If America is the beacon of democracy and model of the rule of law, HK must learn from America. The New York police applied sanitation and public safety laws and forcefully removed the occupiers. There is no need for bloodshed. No one is talking about firing live ammunition like the Kent State Massacre, the American experience in dealing with the OWS movement is very valuable. You can enforce law without bloodshed. When citizens willfully violate the law, they must be held accountable in accordance of the law. HK is degenerating into a lawless society. No one is talking about using the PLA to quell the occupy movement. The U.S. is the first democracy since the Roman Republic. Every nation should learn from the US if they aspire for democracy . And we learned from the US that democracy comes hand in hand with strict enforcement of the law. Freedom does not equate lawlessness. Freedom requires social responsibility, including the respect for the law. When the dignity of the law is tainted by mob like movement, what you get is not freedom but chaos and disorder. There are a lot of human factors in a mass movement. The purpose is never simple, the motive never pure. In the end, someone is boundto lose cool when patience runs out and passions reign high. Rarely we see a mass movement produce positive results. For that you need either a revolution or a gradual reform.
VANO贴出了 一段杨澜的英语 ，我听了一遍，语调不错，比闵南方舟子好多了，但是几个发音明显不准，而 机器识别 证实了这一点。 机器识别杨澜说的内容是【ge ntleman lyrics of neck song is originated from the 2000 year old Chinese Asian poen which is about the young men's erection and longing for beautiful lady to whom he has no access well gentlemen you understand that feeling】 下面我来分析一下： 1）next -- neck 我也没听到这个后面的st，只听到 nek，而且这个ne还发得特重。另外，语法错误，next 之前没有the。 2）ancient -- Asian 前面这个an 似乎发成了 a，没有这个n, 而且后面的 t 非常不清楚。对于英语来说，元音稍微短点无所谓，但辅音如果忽略就听不懂了。 3）admiration --- erection 为什么机器完全没有识别出这个字？ 实际上杨澜读的是 admire - ration ，就是把 admire 后面加个 ation。但这个词应该把i轻读成uh，而且较短，后面ra-tion重读。因为重音不对，导致机器无法识别。 另外，机器识别poem成了poen，从口型看杨澜似乎对，嘴唇闭上了，但可能没有发出鼻音，导致机器未能正确识别。 值得安慰的是，人对语音的识别能力比机器强多了，机器完全是根据发音判断，但人能够根据上下文进行分析。

China, China Taiwan and Japan are readying themselves for a major showdown over the Diao-Yu Islands (釣魚島) . The Chinese character " 釣" means “to angle", " 魚" means "fish"。 The Diao-Yu island is literally a place where the Chinese have been angling fish since ancient times. O ne can view these islands from Google Earth. The screenshot below clearly shows that the Diao-Yu islands are on thecontinentalshelf of China. The direct distance from mainland China to Diao-Yu is only about 200 some miles. One may have heard that the US government referring to the Diao-Yu island as Senkaku Island. But that is a mistake. The official Japanese name for Diao-Yu island (釣魚島) is Yu-Diao island (魚釣島) . As you can see, the Japanese just switched the order of the two Chinese characters, from 釣魚 to 魚釣 . On ancient Chinese maps, the words are written from right to left. Apparently, the Japanese took a Chinese map and read it from left to right when they annexed the Diao-Yu island in 1895. It wasn't surprising that the Japanese didn't invent a new name for the island, most of Japanese around the time did not even have surnames and the written language of Japan was essentially Chinese. To verify that the official Japanese name for Diao-Yu Island is indeed Yu-Diao Island, we can check with the "Geospatial Information Authority of Japan" at www.gsi.go.jp . The following screenshot shows that the Japanese name for Chinese " 釣魚島" is indeed " 魚釣島"。This is a significant point. The word "Senkakus" give an impression that Japan named the island independently. We now know that is untrue. The name "Senkakus", which did not appeal until 1900, is what Japanese calls the group of islands around Diao-Yu. Historical records show that China had administered the Diao-Yu islands since the Ming Dynasty, long before Japanese seized them in 1895 as a booty of its war against China. After Japanmade its sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, China and US became allies in a common struggle against Japanese imperialism. Many Americans died in the war against Japan. When Japan surrenderedunconditionallyin 1945, it fully accepted the PotsdamDeclaration and the Cairo Declaration.The latter states that " all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and The Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed." See, http://www.ndl.go.jp/constitution/e/shiryo/01/002_46/002_46tx.html . Consistently, the Potsdam Declaration issued by U.S., China and Britain dictates that "The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out and Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine." Minor islands are those smaller than two square kilometers. Neither the Diao-Yu island nor the Ryukyu Islands are minor islands and therefore are not part of Japan under Potsdam. Moreover, as we have seen above, Japan stole the Diao-Yu islands from China in 1895, and must return them to China under the mandate of the Cairo Declaration. In view of the history, Japan's nationalization of the Diao-Yu Islands thus poses a grave challenge to the verdict of the Second World War and constitutes a disruption of the postwar world order. Japan's rekindled militarism has crossed the red line and will not be tolerated by China. A Sino-Japan conflict isinevitable. The position taken by United States will determine whether there coming conflict will be localized within the western pacific or will become the prelude to World War III. The Americans and Chinese should cherish their old friendship and work together to stop Japan's neo-militarism. While some Americans may have forgotten Pearl Harbor, the Japanese surely remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese are not your ordinary friend. If they acquire adequateweaponry, they won't be very sentimental on using it to avenge the two atomic bombs, and they aren't afraid of dying . Americans ought to be cautious. China and Japan had engaged in blood feud long before the white people settled in America. It will be tragic if the Americans are dragged into the China-Japan conflict. Many Chinese are already suspicious of America's role in the current dispute. No one is threatening the world with nuclear destruction over Diao-Yu Islands. However, escalation of the Diao-Yu Island dispute could lead to large scale devastation over vast areas. Americans nuked Japan twice over Pearl Harbor, killing over 100,000 Japanese with instant vaporization or lingering radiation diseases. Now, imagine what would be in people's minds if Japan slaughtered 30 million people, including women and children. That didn't happen to America but did happen to China. That is why Diao-Yu Islands conflict may eventually trigger unprecedented levels of destruction. China is a nuclear power. Current estimate puts China's stockpile at around three thousand thermonuclear warheads. It would be unwise for anyone to side with a former axis power and bear the brunt of Chinese justice. Americans better stay out of that age-old life-and-death struggle and live their happy lives as bystanders.
FUDZILLA是一个IT资讯网站，经常报道一些科技公司的内部消息，其域名也是顾名思义 - FUD ZILLA。 今天该网站发了一篇新闻说日本松下公司暂时关闭了其在中国的几个电子元件工厂，据松下公司的发言人称，厂内的几名中国工人对生产进行了破坏。 更有趣的是该文章的作者，一个搞IT的，对钓鱼岛争端的由来进行了报道，他是这么写的 （http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/28783-japanese-suppliers-attacked-in-china ）： 【The People's Republic and Taiwan claim that the islands have been a part of Chinese territory since at least 1534. Japan took control of the islands in 1894–1895 during the first Sino-Japanese War, through the signature of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. They claim that Potsdam Declaration required that Japan relinquish control of all islands except for "the islands of Honsh?, Hokkaid?, Ky?sh?, Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine", and they state that this means control of the islands should pass to China.】 大致翻译如下：【人民共和国与台湾都申明这些岛屿从1534年起就是中国领土。日本在1894-1895的中日战争中通过马关条约获取了对它们的控制。中国称波茨坦公告要求日本放弃对所有岛屿的控制，除 本州、北海道、九州、四国及其他”我们决定之小岛”之外，他们说这意味着这些岛屿的控制权应该给中国。】 由上可见，连FUDZILLA一个搞IT的都弄清楚了钓鱼岛争端的由来。美国政府如果在钓鱼岛问题上背叛二战同盟国，跟轴心国搞在一起与世界反法西斯阵容对抗，将是不得人心的，也将给世界和平带来不稳定因素。
