Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time. 













































































































































          

        

          

        









TepCo President Kneels In Ritual Admission Of Guilt Before Furious Evacuees

















Wow.


















Unless, of course, like contrite Rumsfeld before chiding Cynthia McKinney, the admission means little to the executives, having been so totally corrupted by the corporatist paradigm that their own ancient rituals do little to engage a conscience out of touch for so long it has effectively atrophied.



In order to imitate virtue, one must I believe understand it.  






Hmm.






Interesting.  Does it change anything?  Does it save one child, one Fukushima Daiichi worker?



Does it mean that the President is now likeley to grant my highly technical request for detailed information specificities of hardware/software interface at the Fukushima Daiichi (branding, version, log history, network neighborhood, political context) ?










Be seeing you.
