« INSIDE OUT »
(2015)

Riley Andersen is born in Minnesota and within her mind, five personifications of her basic emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger—gradually come to life and influence her actions via a console in her mind's Headquarters. As she grows up and moves to San Francisco, Califonria, her experiences become memories, stored in colored orbs, which are sent into long-term memory each night. Her five most important "core memories" (all of which are happy ones) are housed in a hub that each power an aspect of her personality which take the form of floating islands. In Headquarters, Joy acts as a de facto leader to maintain Riley's cheerful childhood, but since she and the other emotions do not understand Sadness' purpose, she frequently tries to keep Sadness away from the console.

Dear
Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965)
is best known as the CBS broadcaster whose contribution to US political culture
was his March 1954 anti-McCarthy broadcast,
which precipitated the demise of the infamous demagogue, Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Murrow first came to prominence with a series of radio news broadcasts during
World War II, which were followed by millions of listeners in the United States
and Canada. He later became a pioneer in television journalism.
In one of his broadcasts, he warned the
American public :
"A nation of sheep will beget a government
of wolves."
However, by this time the devolution of post-war
US political culture was already underway, secured as it was by the surveillance
apparatus of J. Edgar Hoover, as the anti-fascist ideology of millions of US
servicemen and women from WW II was subverted by the new consumer society that engulfed
them, as well as the growing US military-industrial complex and the constant
red-baiting in the mass media.
Below are a few insights into the mass
psychology from this experience, reported by firsthand observers who lived through
this early transformation of US political culture :
"Our leaders are
cruel because only those willing to be inordinately cruel and remorseless can
hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment. People
capable of expressing a full human measure of compassion and empathy toward
faraway powerless strangers do not become president of the United States, or
vice president, or secretary of state, or national security adviser or
secretary of the treasury. Nor do they want to." - William Blum
"From 1945 to 2003,
the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and
to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting against
intolerable regimes. In the process, the US bombed some 25 countries, caused
the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to
a life of agony and despair." - William Blum
"Some of the
character traits exhibited by serial killers or criminals may be observed in
many within the political arena... [They] share the traits of psychopaths who
are not sensitive to altruistic appeals, such as sympathy for their victims or
remorse or guilt over their crimes. They possess the personality traits of
lying, narcissism, selfishness, and vanity. These are the people to whom we have
entrusted our fate. Is it any wonder that America is failing at home and
world-wide?" - Jim Kouri
Any president engaged in
lying and empire-building must have some of the traits of a psychopath ... To murder
innocent people in order to aggrandize the American Empire would be extremely
difficult if not impossible for someone who feels empathy, remorse and guilt
and who is incapable of lying. It might even be suggested that having at least
some psychopathic traits is a qualification for the job."
- David Model,
"Lying for Empire"
"This focus on
money and power may do wonders in the marketplace, but it creates a tremendous
crisis in our society. People who have spent all day learning how to sell
themselves and to manipulate others are in no position to form lasting
friendships or intimate relationships... Many Americans hunger for a different
kind of society - one based on principles of caring, ethical and spiritual
sensitivity, and communal solidarity. Their need for meaning is just as intense
as their need for economic security." - Michael Lerner, journalist
The 12 items will provide readers with a socio-political context
for this morbid psychology that has ruled us for too long, by default . . . .

Has The American Establishment Opted for Thermo-Nuclear War?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46406.htm
by Paul Craig Roberts
If you want to be an American TV talking head or a Western presstitute, you are required to be braindead
and integrity-challenged like Bill O’Reilly, CNN, MSNBC, and the New York
Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and all the rest.
In an interview with President Donald Trump, O’Reilly said: “Putin is a
killer.”
O’Reilly is indifferent to the fact that thermo-nuclear war is a killer
of planet Earth. For O’Reilly, President Trump’s desire to normalize relations
with Russia is an indication that the President of the US is comfortable making
deals with killers, as if America’s last three presidents have not been mass
killers comfortable with their destruction in whole or part of many countries
and millions of peoples.
President Trump’s response to O’Reilly’s was: “We’ve got a lot of
killers. What do you think – our country’s so innocent?”.

Israeli Land Law is Final Nail in the
Two-state Solution Coffin
http://www.thenational.ae/opinion/comment/land-law-is-final-nail-in-the-two-state-solution-coffin
by Jonathan Cook
The Israeli parliament passed the legalisation
law on Monday night – a piece of legislation every bit as suspect as its title
suggests. The law widens the powers of Israeli officials to seize the last
fragments of Palestinian land in the West Bank that were supposed to be
off-limits. Now, almost nowhere will be out of the settlers’ reach.

Subject: L’arnaque des colonies sauvages en Cisjordanie
Bonjour,
Un bref mais lumineux article ci-dessous et en pièce jointe,

=======================================
L’arnaque des colonies sauvages en Cisjordanie
Denis Sieffert et Adrien Monnanni,
Politis, 08/02/2017
http://www.politis.fr/articles/2017/02/larnaque-des-colonies-sauvages-en-cisjordanie-36283/
Israël a adopté une loi légalisant les colonies « sauvages » installées
en Palestine, pour mieux masquer sa politique « officielle » de
colonisation.
La Knesset israélienne a adopté lundi soir une loi autorisant la
confiscation de terres appartenant à des propriétaires palestiniens en
Cisjordanie. Emmenée par Naftali Bennet, ministre de
l’Éducation et chef
du parti d’extrême droite Foyer juif, cette « loi de régularisation »
vise officiellement à trouver des « compromis » avec les propriétaires
volés. Contre une compensation financière ou un autre terrain, ceux-ci
devront s’engager à renoncer à toute poursuite judiciaire. Faisant écho
à l’évacuation de la colonie d’Amona, la loi prévoit
également la
suspension, pendant un an, de tout ordre d’expulsion et de démolition
des habitations construites illégalement sur des territoires
palestiniens. Cinquante-cinq colonies sauvages, s’étalant sur 800
hectares, pourraient ainsi être « régularisées ».
UN VASTE ECRAN DE FUMEE
La loi, avec laquelle le Premier ministre Benyamin Netanyahou a pris ses
distances, apparaît cependant comme un leurre. Le texte a en effet
suscité une réprobation internationale, mais le risque est évidemment
que cette condamnation légitime la colonisation qu’Israël juge « légale
». Car, il faut le rappeler, ce sont toutes les colonies qui sont
illégales au regard du droit international. On peut imaginer que la Cour
suprême israélienne invalide la loi de lundi et que la décision sera
saluée par la communauté internationale, non sans hypocrisie. On aura
ainsi minimisé l’intensification de la colonisation officielle menée par
l’État hébreu. Galvanisé par l’entrée de Donald Trump
à la Maison
Blanche, Israël a annoncé la construction de 2 500 logements en
Cisjordanie ainsi qu’un autre projet de 3 000 constructions. Un vaste
plan auquel s’ajoutent les « milliers de logements » prévus à
Jérusalem-Est, dont la construction aboutirait à l’enterrement de la
solution à deux États. L’affaire des colonies sauvages aura alors agi
comme un écran de fumée.
