Latest articles So There Is Money that Could Have Helped Schools by Jesse Hagopian / October 10th, 2008 (4) The secret is out.Like a note confiscated by the teacher and read aloud to the class, there can no longer be any doubt about the message being sent.With the passage of the bailout bill for Wall Street, everyone now knows that the government can come up with a gazillion dollars (I’m not a math teacher, but I believe that is the approximate sum) to address a national problem if it’s deemed serious enough.Being a social studies teacher, I’ll give you a simple quiz to assess your comprehension of the Wall Street giveaway. This means either:A) Before this bailout, we haven’t …(Full article …) Jewish Extremists Attempt Pogrom against Arabs in Akka by Khaled Amayreh / October 10th, 2008 (0) Hundreds of religious Jewish extremists and hooligans laid siege to and assaulted an Arab family home in downtown Akka Wednesday night, triggering widespread riots in the mixed Arab-Jewish coastal city in northern Palestine/Israel. The Jews accused the Arab family of “violating the sanctity of Yom Kippur” by way of driving their car. Eyewitnesses and police sources reported that dozens of vehicles and businesses were damaged after police forces violently repressed hundreds of local Arab youths who had attempted to free the besieged Arab family. Arab sources in Akka said Jewish hooligans attacked “and may have tried to lynch” the Ahmed …(Full article …) Salesman of the Month for Wall Street by Lee Sustar / October 10th, 2008 (3) The bankers will soon begin collecting their $700 billion ransom from taxpayers. And they can thank Barack Obama for helping them get away with it.“Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama spoke to many in the Congressional Black Caucus and helped persuade 13 to switch their votes,” the Associated Press reported, describing Obama’s efforts to salvage the Bush administration plan to use government funds to bail out Wall Street by buying up bad debts from banks and other firms. “Nine freshmen Democrats also switched to yes votes after a conference call with Obama in which he promised an economic stimulus bill would …(Full article …) The Low Road of Racism by Nicole Colson and Alan Maass / October 10th, 2008 (1) With nothing positive to offer, and sinking fast in the polls, the McCain campaign is turning to a tried-and-true tactic. When all else fails, there’s always bigotry. That sums up the direction of the John McCain-Sarah Palin presidential campaign as the final four weeks of Election 2008 get underway, with Barack Obama starting to pull away in opinion polls. “[W]e have no choice,” an anonymous McCain strategist admitted to the New York Daily News. “If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.” And so, the one-time whisper of right-wing kooks that Obama is really a secret …(Full article …) Intellectual Cleansing: Part 2 by Media Lens / October 10th, 2008 (1) In response to Part 1 of this alert, the former Guardian and Observer journalist, Jonathan Cook, emailed us:I woke up after four hours sleep my head buzzing with recollections of my early years in journalism. I’ve been sitting and writing ever since, trying to make sense of it all. It’s quite therapeutic and more revealing about how the media work than I had appreciated before. Your alert really has set off processes in my head. (Email to Media Lens, October 3, 2008)A short piece Cook initially sent us on this theme was brilliant, in fact one of the most …(Full article …) Voter Registration Group ACORN Long a Target of GOP Operatives by Jason Leopold / October 10th, 2008 (0) For the past several weeks, Republican operatives have been stepping up their efforts in critical swing states claiming voter registration groups have been engaged in a massive voter fraud effort in an attempt to influence the outcome of November’s presidential election.The allegations took on a new sense of urgency Tuesday when law enforcement authorities in Nevada raided the offices of The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), an organization that advocates voter registration and participation among low-income people and minorities.ACORN members denied any wrongdoing and claimed the probe is politically motivated by Republicans to suppress voter turnout for …(Full article …) The Trojan Horses of Our Demise: Reconnecting to the Moral Sense by Gary Corseri / October 9th, 2008 (10) Equo ne credite, Teucri. / Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes. (”Do not trust the Horse, Trojans. / Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even bearing gifts.”) –Virgil, The AeneidThe Trojan horses of our demise: ignorance, arrogance, violence and greed. If we seek analogies for our financial collapse, Trojan horses are more instructive than horsemen of the apocalypse. The latter may be useful to the Fundies with their tiresome end-time fantasies. The horsemen externalize evil; they are children’s boogeymen, writ large in adult type, to frighten adult minds that should know better but cling …(Full article …) “To the Bunkers!” by Mike Whitney / October 9th, 2008 (3) Stocks fell sharply across Europe and Asia on Wednesday following another down day on Wall Street where the Dow Jones lost 508 points and the S&P 500 slipped below the 1,000 mark for the first time since 2003. Japan’s benchmark index, the Nikkei, lost nearly 10 percent while shares in London at one point slumped more than 7 percent. Trading was suspended in Indonesia and Russia where stocks fell 10 percent each on opening.According to Bloomberg News: “The Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Canada and Sweden’s Riksbank cut interest rates in an emergency coordinated …(Full article …) “Unofficial” Referendum in Vicenza, Italy: 95% Opposed to New U.S. Military Base by Enzo Ciscato and Stephanie Westbrook / October 9th, 2008 (3) On October 5, 2008, Vicenza overwhelmingly said no to a second U.S. military base. In a referendum that had officially been suspended just four days before it was to take place, 24,094 voters, determined to express themselves, showed up to cast their votes. The referendum asked localresidents if they agreed with the City of Vicenza taking up measures to purchase the Dal Molin area, the site of the proposed base, in order to designate its use in the public interest and to protect the environmental integrity of the site. With a resounding no to the new base, 23,050 voters, or …(Full article …) Numbered by Linh Dinh / October 9th, 2008 (2) In “Doctor Brodie’s Report,” a 1970 short story by Borges, there’s an Amazon tribe with no notion of cause and effect and no sense of the past. N. T. di Giovanni translates, “Since they lack the capacity to fashion the simplest object, the Yahoos regard such ornaments [produced elsewhere] as natural. To the tribe my hut was a tree, despite the fact that many of them saw me construct it and even lent me their aid. Among a number of other items, I had in my possession a watch, a cork helmet, a mariner’s compass, and a Bible. The Yahoos …(Full article …) Israeli Best-seller Breaks National Taboo by Jonathan Cook / October 9th, 2008 (5) No one is more surprised than Shlomo Sand that his latest academic work has spent 19 weeks on Israel’s bestseller list – and that success has come to the history professor despite his book challenging Israel’s biggest taboo.Dr Sand argues that the idea of a Jewish nation – whose need for a safe haven was originally used to justify the founding of the state of Israel – is a myth invented little more than a century ago.An expert on European history at Tel Aviv University, Dr Sand drew on extensive historical and archaeological research to support not only …(Full article …) History Repeats as the Off-Balance Sheet Money Supply Explodes, Then Contracts by Geraldine Perry / October 9th, 2008 (0) As current events make chillingly clear, derivatives — whose main purpose is to hedge risk for specified parties — not only undermine a nation’s real economy but they also undermine global financial stability. Why? Because they help create many times more substitute money through the international financial markets, rather than the central banking system which is governed by more transparent and definable rules. Thus as analyst Paul B. Farrell explains, “Derivatives are now not just risk management tools. As Gross and others see it, the real problem is that derivatives are now a new way of creating money outside the …(Full article …) Reading the New Yorker in Bed, or the Irrelevance of Liberalism by Christy Rodgers / October 9th, 2008 (4) Some years ago I was ill with a strange nausea that for several weeks refused to get better or worse, but simply sapped my will and energy. It seemed as if it rained every day and all day during that time. I spent hour after long, gray hour in bed, like someone with a mysterious “wasting disease,” as such undiagnosed ailments were once called. I had no idea what was wrong with me, but I had no job, and no money for doctors. One …(Full article …) The Trade Balance and the Limits of the Paulson Rescue Plan Preventing Banking System Nationalization but not Economic Catastrophe by Dan Lieberman / October 8th, 2008 (0) The $700 billion plus purchase of financial instruments, which essentially trades cash for trash, even if necessary, is an insufficient measure for resolving the “once in a hundred years,” economic crisis. There must be more to the crisis than meets the eye.Usually when someone requests a huge loan, the person arrives at the loan office with a detailed plan, which is backed up by considerable analysis, a legal framework and relevant financial documents. During the Senate and House hearings of the Paulson plan to rescue the banking system, neither Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson nor Federal Reserve Chairman Ben …(Full article …) Rumsfeld Updated Army’s Continuity of Operations Plan before 9/11 by Tom Burghardt / October 8th, 2008 (3) Ten months before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld approved an updated version of the U.S. Army’s secret operational Continuity of Government (COG) plans.A draft document published by the whistleblowing website Wikileaks entitled, “Army Regulation 500-3, Emergency Employment of Army and Other Resources. Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program,” dated 19 January 2001, spells out changes in Army doctrine.Issued by Headquarters, Department of the Army and signed off by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the Secretary of the Army, the document is affixed with a warning: “Destruction Notice: Destroy by any method …(Full article …) Mumia Abu-Jamal Faces US Supreme Court as New Book and Film Expose Injustice by Hans Bennett / October 8th, 2008 (1) On Monday, Oct.6, in a ruling unrelated to death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal’s upcoming appeal of the recent Third Circuit decision denying a new guilt-phase trial, the US Supreme Court rejected his Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA) appeal, which was asking the courts to hear newly discovered testimony from Kenneth Pate and Yvette Williams (read the affidavits here). The appeal had been filed in July, after it was rejected by the PA Supreme Court in Feb 2008, and in 2005 by Philadelphia Judge Pamela Dembe.Upset by Monday’s news, Dr. Suzanne Ross, Co-Chair of The NYC Free Mumia …(Full article …) The Guilt of Bystanding by Kim Petersen / October 8th, 2008 (3) No Innocent Bystanders: Riding Shotgun in the Land of DenialBy Mickey Z.CWG Press (September 11, 2008)ISBN-10: 0978818628Mickey Z’s latest book, No Innocent Bystanders: Riding Shotgun in the Land of Denial, is an eclectic mixture of essays, quotations, quips, poems, quizzes, and lots of information (e.g., extinction lists).Mickey’s essays are no-holds barred. He does not espouse logically contorted, wishy-washy positions like supporting the troops/killers while posing as anti-war. As an American, Mickey holds the average American culpable for the crimes of the country that are unopposed. The same …(Full article …) US Allies, Defense Secretary Suggest Political Solution to Afghan War by Jeremy R. Hammond / October 8th, 2008 (1) While the U.S. presidential candidates both suggest an increase in military forces as the solution for the conflict in Afghanistan, allies and even the U.S. Defense Secretary have agreed that a political solution involving engaging in diplomacy with the Taliban is necessary.Britain’s most senior military commander in Afghanistan, Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith this week said, “We’re not going to win this war. It’s about reducing it to a manageable level of insurgency that’s not a strategic threat and can be managed by the Afghan army.”“We may well leave with there still being a low but steady ebb of rural …(Full article …) Guardian Held Hostage by Islamophobic Pressure Group by Mary Rizzo / October 8th, 2008 (8) In what can only be described as a shocking glimpse into Zionist lobbying at the heart of British media, the Guardian last week dismissed an Iranian contributor after a group of pro-war, Islamophobic Neocons accused her of anti-Semitism. Soraya Terani, an Iranian mother who lives and works in London at a children’s charity, was commissioned to write 2 pieces to Comment Is Free (CIF) chronicling the routine horrors endured by Arab women whose lives have been ravaged by the US and Israeli invasion. But then, due to mounting pressure from Zionist “watchdogs” and blogs her pieces were dropped. Seemingly, …(Full article …) Despite Audacious Marketing in Class and Chatroom, Milk Sales Keep Falling by Martha Rosenberg / October 8th, 2008 (0) During the Keating Five real estate boom, they used to ask what is the difference between an Arizona real estate agent — male or female — and a 65 Mustang? Not everyone’s had a 65 Mustang was the answer.Today, they might ask what is the difference between a 65 Mustang and posing for a Got Milk ad.Is there anyone who hasn’t posed with a milk mustache except O.J. Simpson and Phil Spector? And they may be looking at the paperwork now.Like Wendy’s Where’s the Beef ads in the 80’s, people love Got Milk ads because they’re zany, don’t …(Full article …) « Older articles All content © 2008 Dissident Voice and respective authors | Subscribe to the DV RSS feed | Top var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
