Subject
: The Dialectics of Liberation & the Forces of
Corporate Control: What Method? What Theory?
21 February 2019
Grenoble,
France
Dear
Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Several
years ago I taught a graduate course on methods and theories in the social
sciences. I borrowed from books such as the anthology edited by University of
Paris professors Jean Heffer and François Weil, Chantier d’historire
Américaine, and books by Simon Frasier University communications
professor Anthony Wilden, including “System and Structure, Essays in
Communication and Exchange” and The Rules Are No Game, The
Strategies of Communication, as well as the works of Austrian
physicist Fritjor Capra, The Web
of Life, A New Synthesis of Mind and Matter, and NYU professor Bertell Ollman's life-time study of Marxist methodology,
as well as Jean-Paul Sartre’s “ Critique
de la Raison Dialectique.”
Using
these readings, we discussed in class the method of building and testing
theories, with the indispensable use of careful observation and critical
thinking. The use of formal logic was essential, we agreed, albeit always keeping in
mind that logic itself is a mental construct invented to enhance the art of
communication by assuring consistent thought (i.e. non-contradiction). We all agreed logic is by
no means an external property of material reality. We examined common logical fallacies
in class. I gave examples of concocting spurious theories, like being born with the unique ability to
fly in defiance of terrestrial gravity and to test this theory by jumping out
the 10-story window of my office in order to discover which theory is correct, that of gravitation
or the theory of my own ability to fly, whereby gravitational pull becomes an established fact at
the cost of my life. This spurious theory would have no effect on the immutable material
reality of gravitational pull, but the collateral consequences would be
of significance (for me, at least).
Theories
cannot change established laws of material reality, although the “facts of life” can
be challenged at any time (sometimes with the most dire
consequences). Social biases such as beliefs in national superiority, or ethnic or
racial supremacy, represent logical fallacies which have contributed to
disasters of historic prroportion. Such errors are mental constructs which are made first
in virtual reality; then sometimes developed to produce material results.
The
social sciences share with the so-called “hard sciences” notions such as “objective
laws,” “factual observations,” and “logical conclusions.” Today’s newspaper
headlines, for example, might promote false theories such as: Catholic
priests are sexual predators, or that Jews are predatory bankers, or that Blacks are violent, or that Women are either whores or saints. A
careful examination of these false premises would bring forth the recognition
that most priests are not sexual predators and that most sexual predators are
not priests, and likewise we would discover similar logical fallacies
concerning our assumptions about Jews, Blacks and Women.
Formal logic, however, takes us just so far; then dialectical
reason becomes useful to rescue us from our blind ignorance and prejudices.
Here we can use the phenomenological approach to investigate what historic “stages” of
development preceded the one we are presently concerned with and the nature of
this evolution into what we are now investigating. We can employ diachronic and synchronic concepts, which were theorized by
the famous Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, in order to seek to
identify connections across time and across space.
But
for clarity we must
never forget that beneath the ground we are standing on, at any given moment in
our material reality, are the tectonic movements of class struggle and that this fundamental force (albeit very often
hidden from our awareness) plays a role in our lives which must be reckoned
with. This cannot be ignored any more than the forces of gravitation can be
ignored without peril. Any metaphysical theory that seeks to disprove the existence of
class struggle must ultimately be verified before it can be adopted as “fact”
and this test must include a reading of the historical context of factual
events, keeping in mind George Orwell’s famous dictum:
Who
controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
The 17 + items below offer readers another look at current events which are crystallizing opposition to what seems to be the forces of a false order. The extreme centralization of financial control and of corporate media to the detriment of our freedom and future well-being is recognized by an increasing number of people around the world as a threat to our collective existence. The collective solutions to these extreme threats have not yet been determined . . . .

Hate Fest In
Warsaw
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51123.htm
by
Eric Margolis
Warsaw,
Poland is not a fun place to visit in darkest February, but that is where the
US just staged an anti-Iranian jamboree of 60 client states that brought
derision and scorn from Europeans and much of the Mideast.
The
point of this cynical exercise was to lay the diplomatic groundwork for an
anti-Iranian coalition to act as a fig-leaf for an upcoming attack on Iran
planned by President Donald Trump and his close ally, Israel’s Benjamin
Netanyahu.
The
real question is who is calling the shots in bleak Warsaw, Trump or Bibi Netanyahu? It seems to many
that the Israeli tail is again wagging the American dog.
This
is thanks to the power of America’s born-again evangelicals, hoodwinked into
believing that a Greater Israel is somehow a key part of the Second Coming of
Christ.
A
Fox News poll this week finds that a quarter of these credulous folks believe
that God actually summoned Donald Trump to become president. This may even be
more than the number of Americans who believe that Elvis is still alive. More
proof that the Republicans have pretty much become a theological party.
The
three horseman of the hard right Republican Apocalypse, Vice president Mike
Pence, Insecurity advisor John Bolton, and State Secretary Mike Pompeo (who reportedly keeps an open bible on his desk)
joined their voices to the Warsaw jamboree to excoriate Iran for being a
‘sponsor of terrorism,’ and a danger to world peace and stability.

Anti-semitism
vigilantes are feeding the far-right
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51120.htm
by Jonathan Cook
Has anyone else noticed how almost anything you
say nowadays – if it’s leftwing – can suddenly be cited as proof of your anti-semitism?
That is, if you haven’t already been denounced as a Kremlin stooge.
Oppose the
regular neoconservative regime-change operations, such as the latest one
targeting Venezuela, and point to the long record of war crimes committed by
one of its current architects, Elliott Abrams, and that apparently is probable
evidence that you’re an anti-semite
Note, as Ilhan
Omar recently did, that AIPAC, the well-financed and single-minded Israel lobby
group, has so much influence in the US Congress that few representatives
dare to publicly oppose it and you’ll come under relentless pressure to apologise for
expressing an anti-semitic view.
Never mind that the Senate just
passed an AIPAC-driven law that blatantly violates Americans’ First Amendment
rights by limiting their free speech – specifically to protect Israel
from those who propose a boycott in support of Palestinian rights.
Want to criticise
the bankers, who created a giant Ponzi scheme to
enrich themselves and nearly destroyed the global economy – and are now being
allowed to do it all over again? Or advocate for socialism and argue that there
is a class war being waged against us by a “global elite”, or
the 1 per cent? Yes, you’re definitely anti-semitic.
If you believe Jeremy Corbyn should be allowed to lead Labour
into the next general election, as he was elected to do by party members, and
that it should be possible to deselect Blairite MPs who wish
to foil such an outcome and want to allow Theresa May to continue driving
Britain over the cliff-edge, you are patently an anti-semite.
And of course, it hardly needs
stating that if you criticise Israel,
point out that it’s been running the longest occupation in modern history or
cite any of the documented evidence that it practises
apartheid against Palestinians, you must be irredeemably anti-semitic.
After all, as Guardian commentator
Jonathan Freedland keeps reminding us, his and many other Jews’ identities are so
deeply invested in Israel that, when we criticise
Israel, we attack them. Ergo, we hate Jews.
Political language degraded
What’s most obvious about this new
supposed outbreak of bigotry among wide sections of western public opinion is
that for the first time in history anti-semitism
apparently has little or nothing to do with Jews – except in the minds of those
making the accusation.
It is barely fanciful nowadays to
imagine a time soon – after Israel and Saudi Arabia go public with their new
love affair and their continual plotting against Iran – when it will be judged
anti-semitic to criticise
Riyadh for chopping off heads or the oil industry for setting the planet on
fire.
This degrading of political language
to the point of absurdity isn’t accidental. While those claiming to worry about
anti-semitism are busy defaming every leftwing
argument made against the current neoliberal order, real anti-semitism – the rightwing kind that actually targets and
sometimes kills Jews – mostly gets a free pass.
Real Jew-haters and Nazi sympathisers get the space to tell us how much they love Israel. Some of them, such as Hungary’s leader,
Viktor Orban, can even rely on a warm handshake from Israeli prime
minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
If the left try to point out what is
going on, or suggest that the charge of anti-semitism
is being “weaponised” to silence us, we are accused
of promoting a conspiracy theory and one that – yes – has echoes of “anti-semitic tropes”.
The message of the anti-semitism witch-hunters to the left is simple: Shut up or be
smeared over and over again.
Obsessed
with Jews
It is worth pausing to note that
there are plenty of neocons who are not Jewish promoting
these endless “humanitarian interventions” that destroy other countries. There
are also lots of lobbyists in Washington fighting for ugly causes who have
nothing to do with Jewish communities or with Israel.
There are lots of bankers helping to
gamble away the economy who are not Jewish. In fact, a large majority of them
aren’t. Most capitalists – the people socialists tend to dislike – aren’t Jews
either.
Most of the Blairite
MPs trying to stop a Corbyn-led Labour
party coming to power aren’t Jews, even if Luciana Berger thinks that anti-semitism is the only possible explanation for her
constituency party wanting to be rid of her, rather than her threats to help
set up a rival party.
True, Israel has mostly Jews living
in it (though many Jews do not). But it is not Jews who are being berated by
critics of Israel, it is a fully fledged, and highly militarised,
state with its own political interests to advance that may not, let’s be frank,
entirely mesh with those of other states or with the wider cause of human
rights.
Almost all criticism of Israel
targets its army command, which is oppressing another people; its government,
which refuses to engage in peace talks and to stop building illegal
settlements; or its secret services, which carry out rogue operations on
foreign shores and try to promote destabilising wars.
In fact, it is those who fearmonger about a “leftwing” or “new anti-semitism” –
presumably to distinguish it from the actual harmful variety – who are the ones
obsessed with Jews.
It is they, not us, who premise
their arguments on the assumption that the wars they condone are promoted only
by Jews, that the Israel lobby represents all Jews, and that the capitalist class are Jewish.
Conversely it is they, not us, who
imply that only the “wrong kind of Jews” are
anti-Zionists, or that the only disloyal Labour MPs
are Jewish ones, or that Jews are incapable of opposing regime change
operations that advance US control over global oil resources.
Weaponising
anti-semitism
In fact, these anti-semitism “watchdogs” no longer even bother to conceal the
fact that their accusations of anti-semitism are
intended as smears rather than as serious assessments of a rising tide of
bigotry.

In

from class domination and social inequality.
Nowadays
false opposition to anti-Semitism is used to the same ends.
A
very relevant article on the subject was written, in 1997, by the French

It
is also very relevant to the French government policy today. Unfortunately, I
was unable to find an English translation. The article gives seven rules how to

The ‘Progressive Except

https://consortiumnews.com/2019/02/06/the-progressive-except-palestine-problem/
by Marjorie Cohn
I was deeply inspired by Alexander’s
column and her decision to speak so honestly about the difficulty of overcoming
the fear of backlash over taking a public stand against the Israeli occupation
of Palestine.
Striking a comparison between the risk
taken by prominent critics of Israel and the risk Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
took by publicly criticizing the Vietnam War, Alexander observes, “Those who
speak publicly in support of the liberation of the Palestinian people still
risk condemnation and backlash.”

Israel
lobby fakes campus anti-Semitism say US journalists
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51078.htm
by MEMO
Details
of how pro-Israeli lobby groups have fabricated accusations of anti-Semitism on
US college campuses in order to incite official crackdowns against Palestine
solidarity activism were revealed earlier in the week during a political talk
show hosted by prominent American journalist Chris Hedges. The author and a
visiting Princeton university lecturer discussed the Israeli lobby with
co-founder of the Electronic Intifada, Ali Abunimah and journalist Max
Blumenthal, on his talk show “On Contact”.
Discussing
the Al Jazeera documentary on the workings of the
Israeli lobby, the journalists described what they said was a “false crises”
created by a network of pro-Israeli lobby groups working with Israel’s Ministry
of Strategic Affairs and Israeli embassies “to lay a factual basis to make
federal civil rights complaints or lawsuits that can then be used to force
university administrations to muzzle students and teachers.”
A
number of cases were cited to highlight the Israeli embassies’ efforts to
aggressively target American pro-Palestinian student activists including the
infamous case of Julia Reifkind. The Israeli embassy officer spied on student
supporters of Palestinian rights while engaging in deception by suggesting that
pro-Palestinian student activists were behind an anti-Semitic incident on
campus.
Labour MP split is a cheap and final ploy to derail Brexit

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercour is discuss a small group of UK Labour MPs decision to quit the party and sit as Independent MPs in the house of commons. Their excuse for leaving Labour was directed at leader Jeremy Corbyn for presiding over an "institutionally anti-Semitic" party. The real reason they are leaving Labour is because they are staunch remain MPs and are hoping to derail Brexit. The seven Labour MPs quitting the party to become 'The Independent Group', are Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Gavin Shuker and Ann Coffey. RT reports that Luciana Berger, the MP for Liverpool Wavertree took to the stage first, to claim that she could not stay in the party any more because it had become "institutionally anti-Semitic." Chuka Umunna, MP for Streatham, a prominent 'People's Vote' advocate appealed to all MPs, not just Labour, to join their group, as the current parties are part of the problem, not the solution. He argued that “It is time we dumped this country’s old fashioned politics.” Umunna claimed the UK needed a political party “fit for the hear and now” and the “first step in leaving the tribal politics behind."

Atlanta School Cheating Scandal: The Untold Story of
Corporate Greed & Criminalization of Teachers
https://www.democracynow.org/2019/2/13/atlanta_school_cheating_scandal_the_untold
As
teacher strikes in Denver and Los Angeles join a wave of recent labor actions
bringing attention to the plight of the American public school system, we take
a fresh look at one of the largest public school scandals in U.S. history.
Public schools in Atlanta, Georgia, were thrown into chaos in 2015 when 11
former educators were convicted in 2015 of racketeering and other charges for
allegedly facilitating a massive cheating operation on standardized tests.
Prosecutors said the teachers were forced to modify incorrect answers and
students were even allowed to fix their responses during exams. The case has
fueled criticism of the education system’s reliance on standardized testing,
and elicited calls of racism. Thirty-four of the 35 educators indicted in the
scandal were African-American. We speak with Shani
Robinson, one of the 11 convicted teachers, who has written a new book on the
cheating scandal with journalist Anna Simonton. It’s titled “None of the Above: The Untold Story of the Atlanta Public Schools
Cheating Scandal, Corporate Greed, and the Criminalization of Educators.”

Break Free From
The Corporate Prison
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51116.htm
by Caitlin Johnstone
This is not a sane way for people to
live. They herd us into classrooms where our minds are pressed into uniform
shapes learning lessons which organize clean-cut, authorized thoughts into neat
little boxes, then they herd us into cubicles where we
turn gears to turn millionaires into billionaires.
We go home and our minds are herded
into advertising that makes us want to consume, news media that makes us
believe our government is virtuous, and TV shows where paid actors play out
scenes which convince us that capitalism is working out perfectly fine. Try to
get away from the phoniness by talking to a real person, and it turns out
they’ve been processed through the same system.
But the rewards of moving inside
their painted lanes are so great, and the penalties for stepping outside them
are so severe. The closest most ever come to authenticity is learning how to
fake their way through society while secretly knowing it’s all bullshit.
But we also can’t keep living like
this. This machine we keep fueling is filling the oceans with poison and
filling the air with greenhouse gasses while killing the trees and driving
humanity toward nuclear war. The lanes they have painted for us have formed a
funnel into our own extinction.
So those lanes are necessarily going
to have to become moot. All the societal structures which have been put in
place to incentivize us toward producing and consuming are going to have to
fall away. Either because society collapses or because we
changed our ways quickly and drastically enough to avert disaster.
Either way, this march away from our own authenticity is about to end.
So why not start now? Why not take
off that tight suit and stop acting out this masochistic charade?
Stop marching inside their lines to
the beat of their drum. Stop relating to life using dead ideas you were handed
by other people for the convenience of the powerful. Start dancing your own
dance in your own way.
I don’t know how to dance your
authentic dance, so I can’t tell you how to do that. But you do. You know.
Underneath all the societal impositions and expectations and pressures and
demands and fear and aversion and uncertainties, you know. The instructions are
written upon the core of your being, and if you get sincerely curious about
them, they will show themselves to you bit by bit, as needed.
Once you move past all the voices
telling you you mustn’t and you shouldn’t, you will
find that your own inner truth is so much wiser and healthier than society’s
dead ideas about how we all ought to live.
Trust yourself to be bravely and
defiantly true to the truth, clear-eyed rebel. I trust you. Life trusts you.
You can trust yourself.
Climb up over that slaughterhouse
rail and go live a life uninhibited by the painted lanes of a servile society,
for the good of our species and for the honor of your own majesty. Leave the
cage they built for you in a ditch by the freeway and stride out boldly into
uncharted lands beneath the open sky.

Congress,
Israel and the Politics of
“Righteous
Indignation”
https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/02/15/congress-israel-and-the-politics-of-righteous-indignation/
by Robert Fantina
It is a
rare day that some member of Congress doesn’t expose him or herself as a
hypocrite of the first order. This week, we have seen this done in spades.
On
February 10, Representative Ilhan Omar (D- MN) said that U.S. Congressional
support for Israel is “…all about the Benjamins…”, a
reference to the U.S. denomination, $100.00 bills, that sport a picture of
Benjamin Franklin. One would think that stating the obvious would not be met
with such umbrage.
But
no! Democratic leadership (how’s that for an oxymoron?) issued a statement
condemning Omar’s “…use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations
about Israel’s supporters…’, and declaring her words ‘deeply offensive’.
Really? Was this, indeed, an ‘anti-Semitic
trope’? Was it a ‘prejudicial accusation’? This writer, as is his custom, will
attempt to make some sense of all this, a challenging undertaking, undeniably.
We will do so first by looking at some of the members of Congress who voiced
their objection.
+
Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who issued the statement condemning Omar’s
remarks, has benefited from pro-Israel campaign contributions to the tune of
$514,449.00.
+
Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) issued a concise statement to Omar: ‘STOP
IT!”. Ms. Schakowsky has received $552,624.00 in campaign contributions from
pro-Israel lobbies during her career.
+
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) praised Pelosi’s condemnation of Omar’s statement. His career take from pro-Israel lobbies: $804,215.00.
+ House
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who just last year suggested that
wealthy Jews were trying to buy the mid-term elections, vowed that Republicans
would “… take action this week to ensure the House speaks out against this
hatred.” The hypocrisy of that statement, based on his own
words of just a few months ago, is
obvious. During his Congressional career, he has received $174,625.00 in
contributions from pro-Israel groups.
These are
just four examples; four members of Congress, whose total cash haul from
pro-Israel lobbies equals $2,045,913.00, condemning
Omar’s words. That is a significant number of ‘Benjamins’.
We will
now move onto the pro-Israel attempt to conflate criticism of the apartheid
state of Israel with anti-Semitism.

Ilhan Omar Was Dead Right About Lobbyists for Israel

by Jacob Sugarman
Rep.
Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., walks through the Capitol building in January. (Andrew Harnik / AP)
On
Monday, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., issued an apology for a series of tweets suggesting that
pro-Israel lobbying groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) had effectively purchased the support of U.S. lawmakers. In one such
such tweet, she had quipped that Congress’ staunch defense of Israel was “all
about the Benjamins”—a reference to the Puff Daddy song of the same name.
“Anti-Semitism
is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me
on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” she wrote in a statement. “My intention is never to offend my
constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.”
Yet
since issuing her mea culpa, the substance of Omar’s initial claims has largely
been reaffirmed. Citing “The Lobby,” a four-part documentary in which an
Al-Jazeera journalist successfully poses as a volunteer for The Israel Project, The Intercept’s Ryan Grim reminds his readers that prominent lobbyists for Israel have
been caught on tape bragging about their pull in Washington.

Suzie
Dawson, a relentless champion of Julian Assange, was targeted by New Zealand
intelligence agencies for her Occupy activism and opposition to the TPP, and
now lives in Moscow, where she moved in 2016 to seek political

Now

Smearing
Is Easy – Solidarity is Hard
https://www.endarken.co.nz/smearing-is-easy-solidarity-is-hard/
by Suzie Dawson
It is a bizarre experience becoming the focus of a complete stranger’s
conspiracy theorising, and watching how easily otherwise-intelligent people can
be influenced by it, though I’ve increasingly had to build up an immunity to
this over the years and I’ve too often seen the same done to other activists,
journalists and whistleblowers, like clockwork.
The practice of digital-smearing takes aim at anyone
that has ever done anything that was both a) even marginally controversial, and
b) of any value to this planet.
This week, I initially took heed of a heads-up from people much smarter
and more experienced than myself who warned that yet another smear of me was
being circulated and not to waste time on it. But after hearing that it
contained falsehoods which I have noticed being seeded across multiple quarters
and injected into various communities and forums over the last six months or
so, I’ve decided to correct the lies once and for all.
The many factual inaccuracies contained
within the latest smear of myself, Unity4J,
Kim Dotcom and Internet Party are listed and debunked below . . . .

Democrats may hate Trump, but they join in white supremacist solidarity
with his aggression against the mostly non-white people of Venezeula.
“It is
accepted as normal that the U.S. and Europe have the right and, indeed, the
responsibility to police the world.”
The hypocrisy and confusion on the issue of
race and white supremacy revealed itself once again in the United States with a
governor dressed in blackface and a decision by the Trump administration and
supported by the European Union to execute a coup against the democratically
elected government of Venezuela.
And while Virginia Governor Ralph Northam was
outed as a racist when photos surfaced from his yearbook as a medical student
in the 1980s that depicted him in either blackface or in a KKK outfit, the assumption
that the U.S. and European Union had the right to determine the leadership of a
nation in the global South escaped the same condemnation as a racist act of
white supremacist power.
The liberal chattering class was quick to
condemn this obvious expression of racism and call for Northam’s resignation.
But as journalist Greg Palast points out, the attempts by the oligarchy in
Venezuela to undermine the government is “at its heart, a furious backlash of
the whiter (and wealthier)Venezuelans
against their replacement by the larger Mestizo (mixed-race) poor.” Which means that the intervention by the U.S. is an intervention in
support of white power.

In 1973
the War Powers Resolution weakened the U.S. Constitution’s placement of the
power to start and end wars with the first branch of the U.S. government, the
Congress. The new law carved out exceptions to allow presidents to start wars.
However, it also created procedures by which a single member or group of
members of Congress could force a vote in Congress on whether to end a war.
Despite weakening the written law, the War Powers Resolution may finally be
about to prove itself to have strengthened the ability of proponents of peace
to put an end to mass slaughter.
Since
1973 we’ve seen numerous wars waged in blatant violation of both the
Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, not to mention the UN Charter and
the Kellogg Briand Pact. But we’ve also seen Congress members like my friend
Dennis Kucinich force votes on whether to end wars. These votes have usually
failed. And the Congress that ended this past December illegally refused (in
the House) to even hold such votes. But debates have been created, people have
been informed, and the notion that a law still exists that merits respect has
been kept alive.

Ghadanfar
Rokon Abadi was Iran’s
senior intelligence officer in Beirut in the late 1990s. I met him many times
and he was always frank about Iran’s support for Hezbollah in Lebanon; he even
spoke to students at a Christian university in east Beirut to explain why his
country supported Syria. He was not very convincing: claiming that the Syrian
revolution had nothing to do with poverty or oppression was a hard sell. He
arrived back in Beirut as ambassador – and be sure, even more senior
intelligence officer — in 2010, and subsequently herded then-president Mahmoud Ahmedinejad – a crackpot
if ever there was one – on a tour of southern Lebanon.
But in November 2013, two suicide
bombers attacked the Iranian embassy in Beirut, killing 23 employees, Hezbollah
guards and civilians who fell from their high-storey balconies when the
explosion blasted through the streets. The attack was claimed by the ‘Abdullah Azzam Brigades’, named after a former lecturer in Saudi
Arabia who would later help to found al-Qaeda, and was intended to destroy the
entire embassy compound.
The Iranians believed the Saudis
were behind the attack. The Saudis, as always, denied it. The bombers never got
through the gates, and so their intended target, Ambassador Ghadanfar
Rokon Abadi, survived. For
less than another two years.

The Great Con of American Patriotism
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51094.htm
American
soldiers born decades apart in the state of New York, Ron Kovic
and Maj. Danny
Sjursen, are two crucial dissenting voices that have experienced
firsthand the futility and brutality of America’s interventionist wars. Kovic,
a Marine veteran who was paralyzed in the Vietnam War, has spent the rest of
his life fighting against the U.S. war machine. The film “Born on the Fourth of
July,” starring Tom Cruise, was based on his book, a work he hoped would
combine with his activism to dissuade young people from buying into the toxic
patriotism that leads Americans to fight destructive, ultimately pointless
wars.
In the
latest installment of “Scheer Intelligence,” Kovic tells Truthdig Editor in
Chief Robert Scheer, “I couldn’t stop speaking against that war. I was arrested
a dozen times. I—every single day was life and death. Every single day, I know
that there could be another young man like Ron Kovic being paralyzed, another
young man from a town or a farm somewhere in this country, being killed in that
war that had to stop.”
Sadly, Sjursen, who says he watched the film based on Kovic’s life
before he was even of age to join the military, explains that he wasn’t able to
hear past what he calls the “faux patriotism” that pushed him to attend the
U.S. Military Academy, as well as do tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I think the fact that I didn’t
learn the lessons from Ron Kovic’s story,” Sjursen laments, “[is] proof of the
power of the masculinity that is associated with military service, and this
notion of nationalism and patriotism. It’s so prevalent that it’s, in some
ways, if it’s not fought every day … it will continue despite the lessons
before us.”
Sjursen also reflects on the shame he feels
for having led soldiers to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan long after he
“no longer had any faith in the wars.”

“There’s absolutely no evidence to
support the statement that [America is] the greatest country in the world.
We’re 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy,
178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number 4 in labor
force and number 4 in exports. We lead the world in only three categories:
number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of
adults who believe angels are real and defense spending, where we spend more
than the next 26 countries combined, 25 of whom are allies…
“[America] sure used to be [the
greatest country in the world ]… We stood up for what
was right. We fought for moral reason. We passed laws, struck down laws, for moral
reason. We waged wars on poverty, not on poor people. We sacrificed, we cared
about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were and we never beat
our chest. We built great, big things, made ungodly technological advances,
explored the universe, cured diseases and we cultivated the world’s greatest
artists AND the world’s greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like
men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn’t belittle it. It didn’t make us feel
inferior. We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election
and we didn’t scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all
these things because we were informed… by great men, men who were revered.
First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not
the greatest country in the world anymore.” ― Aaron Sorkin,
The Newsroom (Episode 1)

shoved aside, saddled with debt not of our own making, sold a bill of goods
about national security, tuned out by those representing us, tossed aside, and
taken to the cleaners.
We’ve
had our freedoms turned inside out, our democratic structure flipped upside
down, and our house of cards left in a shambles.
We’ve
had our children burned by flashbang grenades, our dogs shot, and our old folks hospitalized after “accidental” encounters with marauding SWAT teams. We’ve been told that as citizens we have no rights within 100 miles of our own
border, now considered “Constitution-free zones.” We’ve had our
faces filed in government databases, our biometrics crosschecked against criminal databanks, and
our consumerist tendencies catalogued for future marketing

Someone
Needs to Teach These As$#oles
a Lesson
https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/02/15/someone-needs-to-teach-these-asoles-a-lesson/
by Paul Street
“Someone,”
my Finnish-American socialist great-aunt Mary used to say in the late 1960s,
“ought to teach these assholes a lesson.” By “these assholes,” she meant
the people who own and run the United States.
Mary
died many years ago. I thought about her the other night while watching
Donald Trump lie about crime and border walls to an audience of frothing white-nationalist Amerikaners in El Paso. I wondered what she’d
think about the American political circus these days.
I
imagined her yesterday laughing with disdain as the orange monstrosity
idiotically declared a national emergency. There is no national emergency
at the southern border just a humanitarian crisis created by its own fascist nativism.
For the Ruling
Class Because in the Ruling Class
Who
would Mary want taught a lesson in 2019? Trump,
of course, for starters. Aunt Mary would have loathed the tangerine
truth-crusher with a passion. She would have been appalled by the
callousness with which the billionaire creeping fascist president cut pay and
benefits for 800,000 federal workers for five weeks in pursuit of a nativist wall meant to counter a fake brown
menace on the southern border.
Mary
would despise the modern-day Republicans for playing along with Trump’s racist,
sexist, and authoritarian games and for giving the super-rich and their
corporations a big tax cut in a country where the top tenth of the upper One
Percent already had as much wealth as the nation’s bottom 90 percent.
But
Mary wouldn’t stop with Trump and the Republicans. Her notion of the
“assholes” who need instruction would include the
well-heeled agents of oligarchy who sit atop the nation’s other reigning
capitalist party. As Mary would understand quite well, the Democrats’
abject service to the big financial institutions and transnational corporations
is why the
racist and sexist Republican Party holds the presidency, the Senate,
the Supreme Court, and most of the nation’s state governments today. “Red Mary”
(as my more middle-class and devoutly Lutheran Finnish relatives called her) would
have enjoyed the late political scientist Sheldon Wolin’s
term for the dismal, dollar-drenched and demobilizing Dems:
“the
Inauthentic Opposition.”
Mary
would have nothing but contempt for multi-millionaire neoliberal Democrats like
the Clintons (net worth: $125 million), the Obamas
($40 million), U.S. Senator Mark Warner
($243 million), U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein ($94 million), U.S.
Senator Richard Blumenthals ($85 million),
MSDNC morning host and former top international derivatives trader
Stephanie Ruhle ($5 million), and MSDNC evening star
Rachel Maddow ($20 million).
These
people are for the
global bourgeoisie and its empire because they are part ofthe global bourgeoisie and its empire.
Mary
would be nauseated by the identity games bourgeois Democrats play, whereby one
is called a “racist” for having the decency to point out that Barack Obama and
Corey Booker are corporate assets – and a “sexist” for noting the same about
Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Kirsten Gillibrand,
Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar (a notorious abuser of
Congressional staffers) and even Elizabeth the “Senator from Raytheon” Warren
(net worth
$11 million). (With the former mass incarceration-agent Kamala Harris at the
top of the ticket, corporate Dems will enjoy calling her left and progressive
critics both racist and sexist at the same time.)

Tulsi Gabbard Is
Driving The MSM Crazy
https://consortiumnews.com/2019/02/12/tulsi-gabbard-is-driving-the-msm-crazy/
by
Caitlin Johnstone
The
newly minted presidential candidate is serving as a lightning rod for the
debate about U.S. warmongering, writes Caitlin Johnstone.
When Hawaii’s Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced
her plans to run in the 2020 presidential election, I predicted that
it would disrupt war propaganda narratives and force a much-needed conversation
about U.S. interventionism, but I didn’t realize that it would happen so
quickly, so ubiquitously and so explosively. Gabbard officially began her
campaign for president a little over a week ago, and already she’s become the
front line upon which the debate about U.S. warmongering is happening.
This dynamic became more apparent than ever in Gabbard’s recent appearance on
MSNBC’s Morning Joe, hosted by spouses Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
It should here be noted
since we’re talking about war propaganda that in 2009 Scarborough turned
down an easy run for the U.S. Senate because he decided that he
could have more influence on public policy as the host of Morning Joe than he could as one of 100 U.S. senators, which
tells you everything you need to know about why I focus more on U.S. mass media
propaganda than I do on U.S. politics. It should also be noted
that Brzezinski is the daughter of the late Carter administration Cold
Warrior Zbigniew Brzezinski, whose influential ideas about U.S. world domination, arming extremist
factions to advance U.S.
interests, and hawkish agendas against Russia continue to infect U.S. foreign
policy to this day. Mika is part of a political dynasty, with both brothers being U.S. political insiders as well.
Aligning the
Message
So
if you’ve ever wondered how outlets like MSNBC keep everyone on message
and fully in alignment with the U.S. war machine’s agendas, there’s a good
insight into how. Combine that with the way they stock
their punditry lineup with U.S. intelligence community
insiders and fire
any pundit who refuses to toe the military-industrial
complex line, and it’s not hard to see how they’ve developed such a tight echo
chamber of hostility toward any resistance to U.S. interventionism. Which
explains what we’re about to discuss next.

Food,
Justice, Violence and Capitalism
https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/10/09/food-justice-violence-and-capitalism/
by Colin Todhunter
In
2015, India’s internal intelligence agency wrote a report that depicted various
campaigners and groups as working against the national interest. The report
singled out environmental activists and NGOs that had been protesting against
state-corporate policies. Those largely undemocratic and unconstitutional
policies were endangering rivers, forests and local ecologies, destroying and
oppressing marginalised communities, entrenching the corporatisation of
agriculture and usurping land rights.
These
issues are not unique to India. Resistance against similar practices and
injustices is happening across the world. And for their efforts, campaigners
are being abused, incarcerated and murdered. Whether people are campaigning for
the land rights of tribal communities in India or for the rights of peasant
farmers in Latin America or are campaigning against the fracking industry in
the UK or against pipelines in the US, there is a common thread: non-violent
protest to help bring about a more just and environmentally sustainable world.
What
is ultimately fuelling the push towards the relentless plunder of land, peoples
and the environment is a strident globalised capitalism, euphemistically termed
‘globalisation’, which is underpinned by increasing state surveillance,
paramilitary-type law enforcement and a US-backed push towards militarism.
The
deregulation of international capital movement (financial liberalisation)
effectively turned the world into a free-for-all for global capital. The
ramping up of this militarism comes at the back end of a
deregulating/pro-privatising neoliberal agenda that has sacked public budgets,
depressed wages, expanded credit to consumers and to governments (to sustain
spending and consumption) and unbridled financial speculation. In effect,
spending on war is in part a desperate attempt to boost a stagnant US economy.
