The original notice that Karl Rove, former senior advisor to President George W. Bush, would be speaking at Cedarville University in Ohio came from Warcriminalswatch.org. What piqued my interest is how a Bible-based fundamentalist university would invite the country’s most famous Machiavellian to speak on Constitution Day.  Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been rereading Ed Miliband’s speech ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ed-miliband/8791870/Labour-Party-Conference-Ed-Milibands-speech-in-full.html ) and reading the reaction to it, and I’ve come to a conclusion I genuinely didn’t expect: I liked it. I didn’t agree with it, but when the Labour leader popped up on Today this morning to say this is a “a new era”, where people won’t let markets fail them, where they will demand “responsibility” from top and bottom, I at least heard a new argument.   Read the rest of this entry »

… Over the longer term, however, Labour’s prospects depend critically on whether it can set out a new, post-Blair/Brown strategic direction for its political renewal, secure economic credibility and connect with changing currents in British society that are reshaping the electoral landscape. While the policy review process toils away behind the scenes, the ‘two Eds’ have a huge task to show not just that Osborne’s Treasury is getting the recovery wrong, but that they have learnt the right lessons of their time in Brown’s Treasury.   Read the rest of this entry »

A new survey by the German Marshall Fund finds that China’s rise is leading Americans to turn their attention away from Europe and to view China as more of a threat than Europeans do. But how much do these factors threaten the trans-Atlantic relationship, and how well can it adapt to changing circumstances?  Read the rest of this entry »

When Georgia murdered Troy Davis, it brought condemnation from around the world. – Published on Global Research.ca, by Daniel Patrick Welch, September 2011.

… As in Georgia, there will be no remorse, no self-doubt, no awareness of what the rest of the world sees. Full steam ahead. And why should there be? The Peace Prize bestowed by the dynamite-inventing Nobel family (maybe irony died a lot longer ago than I thought) gave Obama carte blanche to pursue unfettered the dreams of empire, peddling old snake oil in new bottles to a gullible public that foolishly gave him the benefit of the doubt.  Read the rest of this entry »

… The inspired, enduring (very threatening to some) art, music and political action of the era were not the result of liberal accommodation and compromise.

Published on ZNet (Source: Socialist Project: The Left’s Role in Its Own Decline), by Steve D’Arcy, September 15, 2011.

What happened to the North American Left? Why is it that, even now, when capitalism seems so obviously unappealing, unsustainable and unfair, the Left cannot mount a more serious challenge to the Right or its grim austerity agenda? Indeed, what happened to the Left’s former ability to mobilize huge numbers into powerful social movements, to inspire working-class people with appealing visions of post-capitalist alternatives, and to strike fear into the hearts of elites who once worried that the Left posed a credible threat to their power and privilege? … //  Read the rest of this entry »

Every social movement faces countless obstacles by those in power.  Although brute force is used to stifle movements when they become especially effective, more subtle methods are typically employed. Diverting movements to adopt ineffective strategies and “safe” ideas is the normal way people in power keep others powerless.   Read the rest of this entry »

WMR has recently learned that international financier George Soros, a major backer of President Obama and other Democrats, does not take criticism lightly. In fact, Soros has been engaging in a tactic usually favored by right-wing corporations: shutting down critics with a legal instrument known as a strategic lawsuit against public participation SLAPP.

My comment to the article Corporate media promotes Republican ultra-right:

• The big part of small people in this humanity developped the conscousness of being eternal victims, thus needing always strong mum/daddy/presidents making it for them.
• All rainmakers and their right wing old boys networks in any country learned since decades to play victoriously with contradictions between people’s need for help and the MUST of own taken responsibility, becoming able to shame and shut down any progressist/leftist adversary wanting help these peoples.
• Progressists must not only learn to win these battles of words, more, we must accept ourselves and learn people to go on with life’s existing contradictions, and refuse any corruption in thinking by false mum/daddy/president’s superpower promises.
  
• As long as we run behind thus corrupted people, we are not leaders, but just begging a corrupted job, trying to guide a failing corrupted humanity.
• Rainmakers can only win with the help of our own misguided phantasy.

Published on WSWS, by Patrick Martin, September 16, 2011 (see my comment here).

The Republican presidential debate held September 12 in Tampa, Florida was co-sponsored by a major television network and an ultra-right group, Tea Party Express, one of a half-dozen organizations, lavishly financed by right-wing multi-millionaires, that posture as the “grass roots” of the Republican Party.  Read the rest of this entry »

Wurden wir in den letzten Tagen gerade Zeuge, wie die Schweiz heimlich in die EU eingegliedert wurde? Denn der Beschluss der Nationalbank bedeutet nichts anderes, dass wir Schweizer mit der Anbindung des Frankens an den EURO nun der EU auf Gedeih und vor allem Verderb ausgeliefert sind. Und das ausgerechnet in einer Zeit, in der die EU am finanziellen Abgrund steht und uns alle in die Tiefe reissen wird.  Read the rest of this entry »

It pours and pours. There has been no let-up in the torrents across the Badin district – a land that receives less than 60 mm of rain in a year has now seen over 300 mm in just of 48 hours. But it was a crisis already in the making because of record rains in the country’s southern province of Sind which received an incredible 1,000 mm of rain in less than three weeks and the deluge still continues pounding several districts in the area.   Read the rest of this entry »

Utiliser cet argent nouvellement créé tout d’abord pour rembourser nos dettes fédérales, cantonales et communales – Publié dans Horizons et débats N°35, par J. A. Cramer, Chambésy GE, 5 septembre 2011.

Nous apprenons que nos «experts» ont mis au point la «pierre philosophale» pour pouvoir éroder le franc suisse (notre bien commun à nous les Suisses) que certains, socialistes en tête, trouvent trop élevé par rapport aux monnaies déliquescentes que sont le dollar américain et l’euro faisant obstacle par là à nos exportations et réduisant donc l’activité économique du pays avec à la clef des pertes possibles d’emplois.  Read the rest of this entry »

Im Blog des Tages Anzeigers, von Pierre Ruetschi, 9. Sept. 2011.

Am Montag wird die Grundsteinlegung für die Gebäudeerweiterung der Welthandelsorganisation (WTO) in Genf gefeiert. Für die Noch-Bundesrätin Micheline Calmy-Rey wird es der letzte von vielen Anlässen dieser Art auf Genfer Boden sein. Das sind protokollarische Momente, zwar ohne Bedeutung an sich, aber symbolisch für die Aussenpolitik der Genferin, die im Laufe der vergangenen neun Jahre im Departement für auswärtige Angelegenheiten das internationale Genf gestützt hat, das immer mehr die gefährliche Konkurrenz asiatischer Städte wie Singapur oder nahe gelegener europäischer Städte spürt … (ganzer Text).

• (First my comment: people are more ashamed to be victims by their own family/group/nation than by strangers/terrorists/Arabs/etc.
• As long as we are unable to recognize this, as long as we need a family, a nation calming our fears with lies, as long these gangsters will succeed.
• First we must learn to become enough adult to no more fear our fears, to become able to see what’s really happening, instead of always looking out for a mum or a daddy, asking them to make it for us).

It has been and will be the same since the day it happened. The same exhausting exercise, whether one, five years, 10 or 50 years since 9/11. Another orchestrated orgy of mass propaganda-stoked ignorance and “war on terrorism” hysteria.    Read the rest of this entry »
