actors: Adam Bessa,
Hayat Kamille, Is’Haq Elias, Mohimen Mahbuba, Suhail Dabbach, Waleed Elgadi
When ISIS took their homes,
families and city, one group of men fought to take it all back. Based on true
events, this is the story of the Nineveh SWAT team, a renegade police unit who
waged a guerrilla operation against ISIS in a desperate struggle to save their
home city of Mosul.
Written and directed by Matthew Michael Carnahan, Mosul
is an extraordinary true story of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds, as
it follows a group of brave men who fight to take back control of their homes,
families and city from ISIS. After inexperienced Iraqi cop Kawa
(Adam Bessa) is rescued from a harrowing
firefight by the elite Nineveh SWAT team, he’s quickly inducted into the rogue
squadron, a band of ten brothers-in-arms led by the wise Major Jasem (Suhail Dabbach). Under constant threat of attack, the unit
embarks on a dangerous guerrilla operation, determined to wipe out an enemy
base and restore order to the lawless territory
This film raises more questions
than answers; it is the story of local militias and uneasy allies who banded
together to liberate Iraq’s second-largest city of 1.3 million people from ISIS
in 2017 reflects the hysterical moment of combat and with the aid of the
soundtrack we are able to transcend all reason, and fall into the grip of
complete capitalist determination, the profit motives of which are evident.
Editor Alex Rodriguez is the
real star of this intense, boots on-the-ground war thriller about the campaign
to retake the bullet-riddled titular Iraqi city from ISIS in 2017. Director
Matthew Michael Carnahan makes it a rapid-fire affair with human drama tucked
in as a 21-year-old Kurdish man (Adam Bessa) joins a
hardened SWAT team in a hellish fight. It’s well-made and engrossing.

Logical Extension of Capitalist Production and the History of a Liberal Delusion.

Dear Colleagues
and Friends of CEIMSA,
I was perusing
recently an old second-hand copy of a paperback I had read a long time ago in
what seems another lifetime. Dr. Selma H. Fraiberg’s
book, The
Magic Years, Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood
‘1959), is representative of the science of child psychology dating from
the era of “Possessive Individualism.” Written by a famous liberal Freudian
psychologist in the late 1950s - Professor of Child Psychoanalysis at the
University of Michigan Medical School and Director of the Child Development
Project at Children’s Psychiatric Hospital at U. M - we watch her methodically
conduct a science inquiry of individual analysis in full confidence and with great
compassion and good humor, describing the
child’s magic worldview at the age of one-and-a-half.
The
magician is seated in his high chair and looks upon the xo(ld
with favor. He is at the height of his powers. If he closes his eyes, he causes
he world to disappear. If he opens his eyes, he causes the world to come back.
If there is harmony within him, the world is harmonious. If rage shatters his
inner harmony, the unity of the world is shattered. If desire arises within
him, he utters the magic syllables that cause the desired object to appear. His
wishes, his thoughts, his gestures, his noises command the universe.
The
magician stands midway between two worlds, but the world he commands at
eighteen months is already waiting to take away his magic, and he himself has begun
to make certain observations which cast doubt upon his powers. Somewhere around
the end of the first year he began to discover that he was not the initiator of
all activity, that causes for certain events existed outside of himself, quite
independent of his needs and his wishes, but now, in the middle of the second
year, the magician makes a discovery which will slowly lead him to his downfall.
The magician will be undone by his own magic. For when he ascends to the
heights of the word-magic, when he discovers he can command with a word, he
will be lured into a new world, he will commit himself unknowingly to new laws
of thinking, the principles of the this second world which oppose magic by
means of the word.
Magic
belongs to the first system of thought, the pre-verbal world. What we call
rational thought processes can only come about through the development of
language and the second of thought is built on words and the manipulation of words.
The few
words which the magician commands at eighteen months do not yet serve higher
mental processes. They serve his wants, his immediate needs, and he acquires
them in much the same way that the untutored adult acquires a foreign language
by first learning the words for his needs – in what we call ‘restaurant
French.’ If the child in the second year learns ‘mama,’ ‘cookie,’ ‘bye-bye,’
‘car,’ it is because he wants mama, and wants a cookie, wants to go bye-bye,
wants to go in the car. He learns the names of certain objects which are
desirable to him. But he does not yet have rational or orderly thought processes,
he has neither the vocabulary not the concepts to construct an organized and coherent
view of the world
or events around him. So the first stages of language development are still
closer to the primitive system of thought than they are to the secondary
thought processes. They serve magic, not reason. And the child’s view of the world
is still dominated by his primitive thinking. He is still a magician.
The
sources of a magician’s powers are always of interest to his audience, and this
seems to be an excellent time to inquire into the mental processes of a
practicing magician who came by his secrets legitimately and who performs
without hokum. This fellow in the high chair believes in his work.
He
discovered his powers accidently, very early in the first year of his life when
tensions within his body magically produced an object, a breast or bottle,
which relieved tensions. We are inclined to argue with him right there. This is
not magic. These tensions we know perfectly well gave rise to certain manifestations
which were recognized by a person outside himself who then ministered to his
needs. But the magician could not have known this. He could only connect need
and satisfaction in a primitive cause-and-effect relationship. Later when he
began to differentiate his body from other bodies the primitive
cause-and-effect (need brings satisfaction), moved one step further to ‘need brings a person who
gives satisfaction.’ We notice that his body and his needs bring about a
desired event in this pre-thinking stage.
As his
world enlarges he sees all objects, all events as the result of his own activity.
The rattle does not have the property of making a noise,
he makes the noise by manipulating the rattle. The Teddy bear does not
occupy a certain space outside himself; the Teddy bear
is ‘there’ only if he sees it. The existence of all things in the outer world
is known to him only through his sense organs; objects have no independent existence.
In this way all objects outside himself appear to him as connected with his own
actions. We say that he is egocentric because he is the center of his world and
he conceives objects and events outside of himself as the consequence of his
activity, of his grasping, his seeing, his hearing. In
this sense he is the cause of all things.
In the first
half of the second year, as we have already seen, he has made some observations
which lead him to the correct conclusion that objects outside himself can exist
independently of his perception of them and he is able imaginatively to
reconstruct their movements in space. This is a great advance from the earlier
view in which objects were merely extensions of his own ego and his own
activity, but this psychological position still remains ego centered; he is
still a mover and cause of things because he must command objects and events of
his own needs and his own purposes. In a word – a word which is not yet part of
the magician’s vocabulary – he is omnipotent.
Like all
magicians he believes that his wishes, his thoughts, his words are the instruments
of his magic powers. In this way we see how these later developments in
thinking are still modeled after the simple ‘need brings satisfaction’ of the
earliest months of life. Long after reason his deprived the magician of his
magic, and for all the days of his life, the belief that wishes can bring about
real events will persist in a secret part of the self.
Whatever
a magician believes, the truth of the matter is that he derives his power from
his audience. The career of a magician ends in the moment that his audience
disbelieves this magic. So there must always be a magician and there must
always be believers in order for magic to take place. The career of our high-chair
magician is blighted almost from the start by a clique of unbelievers, who
consider it their duty to rise up and protest, to give argument, present proof
and to offer their prosaic selves and their own hard-earned wisdom as a
substitute for this enchanted world. They are formidable opponents, for their
power is infinitely greater than that of the high-chair magician. They are the source of love,
they minister to the body needs of the high-chair magician. They are absolutely
indispensable, and the proof of their indispensability is regularly seen in the
failure of the magician’s career.
The
unbelievers, the rationalists, the parents and educators, consider it their
duty and their right to oppose magic with Truth, to fight magic with Reason, to
put magic to the test of Reality. They are missionaries who are ordained to
bring an alien and higher culture to the savage in order that he may free his
imagination for more advanced modes of thought, and free his activity and his
cultural achievements from the slavery of body needs. For as long as the
primitive mind is dominated by the urgency of needs and the urgency of their satisfaction,
mental activity will be restricted to the satisfaction and means of
satisfaction of body urges.
We have
seen that magic thinking in the earliest mental activity, the mentally process
which accompanies the need-satisfaction principle of early development. In
psychoanalytic terms, the functioning of the child in the early months and years is dominated
by the Pleasure Principle, that is, a striving for satisfaction. Mental
processes develop in this early period in the service of body needs. (Recall
that one of the earliest forms of thought according to our construction was the
picture, the mental image of a satisfaction, the breast or bottle, which was
activated by sensations of hunger.) Now in order for mental processes to
progress to the higher modes of thought, orderly thinking, logic and
abstraction, thinking must be freed from magic and freed from its earlier dependence
upon body needs and their satisfaction. Here, the parents, the representatives
of Reality, become the missionaries of a higher culture. They must educate the
child to a coherent and rational view of the world and to do this they must, in
effect, oppose magic thinking and the instinctual strivings which have
satisfaction as their only goal. This is a job that demands the greatest
intuitive knowledge and skill on the part of parents. Our technical language
has a phrase for the governing principle of the second mode of thought. We call
it the Reality Principle which means, of course, that the higher form of thinking
is governed by principles of reality instead of the earlier principle of
pleasure.
The work
of a missionary is not immediately rewarded. Anyone who sets
out to convert a Pleasure Principle into a Reality Principle,
whether on a Pacific Island or in an American suburb, must know the forces which
resist his efforts. The missionary converts through love; his teachings
cannot have effect unless he can compensate by an offer of love for what he
must take away. His censorship will fall on deaf ears unless fear of loss of
love will act upon the primitive mentality like a brake. The missionary cannot
be a zealot. If he meets the force of primitive resistance with the force of
his ideas in a collision of minds, the missionary will lose his vocation or
worse. In an American family the worst that can happen is that he will lose his
influence.
Above
all, in the early stages of conversion, the missionary must be content if the primitive
mind takes in half the truth. If the primitive accepts the truth of the new
religion, but keeps his old idols under the bed, the missionary must not
deplore or threaten or lose his wits. If he is wise he will assign a place in
the mind where the old idols, the old beliefs, and the old magic cab still
reside and even serve a benevolent purpose. The conversion on a primitive in an
American suburb should make allowances for the sacrifice to new principles. It
should leave a place in the mind where the banished dreams can be eternally renewed,
where wishes bring about their own satisfaction. All that we ask is allegiance
to the Reality Principle, and consignment of magic to certain regions of the
mind. We grant the right of a deposed magician to practice the sorcery of the
day-dream and we provide an island in our world of reality where he can command
the creatures of his imagination through play.(The
Magic Years, pp.107-112)
Dr. Fraiberg goes on to deliver a graphic illustration of logocentrism
and the human mind by comparing the mental processes of Susie, a two-year-old
girl with that of Brandy, the psychoanalyst's four-year-old beagle. The Former is developing her capacity
for language; the dog has none.
What has
made it possible for Susie to forego the pleasure of picking the flowers and
possessing them for herself? [Her parents had allowed her to pick flowers in their
own garden, but they had forbidden her to pick flowers growing in the yard of
their neighbor. Sisie internalized her parent’s injunction,
albeit reluctantly.] Word magic, again. The words
‘far’ (flower), ‘pitty,’ ‘nize’
substitute for the object. Instead of making physical contact with the flowers
through touching them she makes contact through words, naming the flower,
admiring it. Instead of picking the flowers to make them her own, she employs
words to designate the object and possesses the flowers be
possessing the symbol, the word.
In this example words substitute for an act. And this leads
us into a discussion of one of the most important functions of language. Words
substitute for human acts and the uniquely human achievements of control of
body urges, delay, postponement and even renunciation of gratification are very
largely due to the higher mental processes that are made possible by language.
The human possibility of consciously inhibiting an action and renouncing, if
only temporarily, an expected satisfaction is largely dependent upon the human
faculties of judgment and reasoning, functions which are inconceivable without
language.
We take
our language equipment so much for granted that it may be difficult to see at
first glance how language becomes a means for control of body impulses. Let’s
consider, for a moment, the case of our non-verbal four-year-old beagle who
understands only a few words like ‘walk,’ ‘down,’ ‘no,’ ‘stay here,’ and
doesn’t always choose to understand them. Each night he is confronted with a
crisis that demands a simple piece of reasoning and renunciation of an
immediate gratification for the attainment of a more desirable goal that would
be in his grasp within a split second. Here is the dilemma: At the end of the
evening Brandy is bribed with a biscuit to leave his favorite piece of
furniture and descend the basement stairs to his own bed. He is a sociable dog
who hates to leave good company and a good chair for solitude and a doggy
mattress in the furnace room. One of us will move toward the basement stairs with
a biscuit in hand while Brandy follows with a moody look on his face. At the
top of the stairs he stops and sits down. He will not budge at this point. Now his
master or his mistress (there never were more foolish names for such as we are)
will descend the stairs, biscuit in hand, whistling, chirping and making other
conventional noises to which dogs are said to respond. Brandy sits like an ornamental
lion at the top of the stairs. At this point, each night, we think we are lost.
It’s a breathless moment. Will he rise above instinct at last? Will he renounce
Dog Yummies and his enslavement to his appetite and by
this single gesture rise like a rocket to some new elevation in the
evolutionary scale? And if he does what will become of us? If we
cannot influence him through his appetite and his devotion to us, nothing will prevent
him from asserting himself as the rightful owner of our house (a point that had
long been disputed anyway) and we might easily find ourselves at the top of the
stairs each night, staring moodily into the darkness.
Se we
wait at the bottom of the stairs. It’s a good game. We secretly would like to
see him win, at least once. The beagle looks mournfully at the biscuit in his master’s
hand. His tail wags uncertainly. On his poor, sad, hound’s face you can almost read
the dilemma. He dimly recognizes that a trap is in store for him. He doesn’t
want to go downstairs, but he does want the biscuit. A few minutes pass.
Suddenly, unable to withstand the longing another moment, Brandy descends the
stairs in pursuit of his biscuit and is easily led to his bed. A few minutes
later when we are back upstairs, we may hear pathetic little mewling noises
from the regions below. Brandy, having eaten his biscuit, remembers finally why
he hadn’t wanted to go downstairs in the first place.
The events
as described here have gone on nearly every night for four years. The sequence
is practically unvarying. Why hasn’t Brandy caught on after hundreds of
repetitions that if he can forego the satisfaction of a Dog Yummy he can avoid
being led downstairs and will gain the grater satisfaction of luxury and companionship
upstairs? Well, to put it bluntly, he can’t keep two ideas in his head at the
same time. Properly speaking, he doesn’t even have an idea. At best, he has
pictures in his head. But the real biscuit dangling in front of his eyes has no
trouble competing with the mental picture of a solitary bed in the furnace
room. He cannot see connections between these events except in the most
rudimentary sense. The two events of a biscuit in his master’s hand and what we
see as the sequel, the solitary bed, would appear to him as two separate
events; he would not see one causing the other. He hesitates at the top
of the stairs not because he can imaginatively reconstruct the sequence of
events to follow, but because his sensory memory prompts him to anticipate
something unpleasant connected with the taking of the biscuit. But he couldn’t
tell himself why.
In order
to link these two events in a meaningful way he would need words. If he could
translate the whole experience from biscuit to solitary bed in a practical
symbol system he would be able to construct mentally the sequence of events without
going through the action. He would need to have the equivalent symbols for our
conditional sentence, ‘If I take the
biscuit, I’ll wind up in the doggone furnace room.’ He could then negate the
impulse through the symbolic equivalent, ‘Who wants the louse biscuit
anyway?’He could then march back to his favorite piece of furniture and sneer
at his family, and by this single act of renunciation he would rise above his
species. But he has no language. Without language he is obliged to go through
the actions of his nightly ritual, from biscuit to solitary bed, because
he cannot symbolically reconstruct it and draw inference from the parts of the
experience.
But why
should we go to so much trouble to examine the mental limitations of an animal?
Because, of course, the absence of language restricts the possibility of an
animal’s rising above his instinctual nature. In the absence of language the mental
processes of reason and judgment cannot exist and the animal cannot make
choices that are independent of instinctual need or instinctual conduct. All
those qualities that we call human derive from the possibility within every
human being of acquiring control over the instinctual self and of modifying his
character and his circumstances through an intelligence that has a large degree
of independence from the primary human drives. We have excellent reasons to
believe that these uniquely human achievements are not alone the product of a
superior mental apparatus, but that the apparatus itself acquires for
possibility of controlling this vast and intricate organization of the human
personality through language!(pp.115-118)
In another
section of her book, entitled “Helping a Child Overcome His Fears,” Dr. Fraiberg discusses the case of Nancy, a
twenty-one months old.
[She] has
always loved her bath and now, suddenly she begins to protest and stiffen as
soon as mother puts her in the tub. If mother is insistent, even gently
insistent, Nancy has a tantrum. Bathtime has become
nerve wracking for mother and she is rapidly losing patience with this
nonsense. The stubbornness and defiance in Nancy’s behavior provokes mother to sharpness
and sternness, which in turn brings forth more defiance from Nancy and soon the
two are engaged in a contest.
What is
this? Is it just another manifestation of the negativism of this age? Does she
just enjoy being dirty? Is she ‘testing out’ her mother? ‘A good spanking will
cure her of that,’ says a visiting great-aunt who happens to be present
during one of these bath-time scenes. And Nancy’s mother, almost at her wit’s
end, wonders if she hasn’t been too soft about this whole business. It isn’t at
all clear, of course, just what a spanking would ‘cure’ Nancy of, and this is
the trouble with all such advice by the advocates of spanking. It is an action
which, under all circumstances, is unrelated to the facts of the case. In this
circumstance it would mean that since nobody knows why Nancy is reacting the
way she is, we will employ a meaningless punishment for a meaningless piece of
behavior.
Let’s try
another approach and let the great-aunts go off in a huff to complain to all
other great-aunts that there is nothing that would do today’s child so much
good as a good spanking. Let’s consider what defiance can mean. Defiance can
mean many things. A two year old who doesn’t want to go to bed can become
defiant and his defiance may only signify his resentment at giving up the pleasures
of play. A two year and a half year old found playing with scissors may become
defiant when his mother takes them away, and again the defiance may mean only a
reaction to deprivation of an interesting play thing. In either of these cases
the parent can handle the defiance by acting firmly but tactfully, and the
chances are very good that the child will accept the necessary interference
with a pleasure. But now let’s look at another type of defiance. You are two
and you are afraid that the big dog next door will chew you to pieces and your
father says, ‘Oh, come on. Let’s go over and see the nice doggie and pat him.
He won’t bite.’ And your father starts to lead you by the hand – and you rebel.
You may cry, protest, pull away, and if father grows more insistent you may
scream and throw a little tantrum. This defiance is defiance toward the adult
who wants to lead you into an imagined danger.
In any of
these examples it is not difficult to recognize which defiance signifies resistance
to interruption of a pleasurable experience and which defiance represents
defense against anxiety. But when we are confronted with Nancy’s defiance of
her mother at bath-time the issues are not so clear. It doesn’t seem to be
connected with interruption of a pleasure and, furthermore, the bath had been
until recently one of the great pleasures in Nancy’s life. It isn’t obviously
associated with fear. A bathtub doesn’t bite. There hasn’t even been an
accident in the bath that might lend validity to a fear. Nancy doesn’t talk
well enough to tell us why she avoids the bath. How can we find out the meaning
of this behavior?
Usually
in early childhood there is a close enough connection between an event and a
child’s reactions so that we can search our memories and come up with some
clues. As soon a Nancy’s mother gave up the notion that Nancy’s behavior toward
the bath was simply two-year-old obstinacy she remembered something that had
not appeared to be very important at the time but had preceded by a day or so
the onset of the bath rebellion. Nancy had been reluctant to get out of the tub
on that occasion and her mother started to let the water out of the tub. Nancy
had not seemed to notice the water level slowly dropping but toward the end she
watched with rapt attention as the last of the bath water was sucked down the
drain. Suddenly she stood up in the tub and demanded urgently to get out. It
was after this event that Nancy became fussy about taking her bath. Then the
mother recalled that for several weeks preceding this event Nancy had asked repeatedly
to watch the toilet flush and on one occasion had even tossed her Teddy bear in
the toilet bowl. He was rescued just in time by Nancy’s mother.
From
these isolated and seemingly not very important events we can draw a conclusion
that seems preposterous to an adult. Nancy’s avoidance of the bath which
follows her observation of the disappearance of water down the bath drains and
her observation that objects disappear down the toilet, suggests that Nancy is
afraid that she, too, could disappear down a drain. The grown-up, even an older
child, will dismiss this as nonsense. We know that a child cannot go down that
little hole. How do we know this? We have a concept of relative size. We know
the approximate boundaries and size of our bodies and the relationship of a
drain-hole diameter to the size of our own bodies. But Nancy at twenty-one months
does not know this. She will need to carry on series of experiments for a long
time before she acquires knowledge of the amount of space which her body
occupies.
There is
another reason why such fears of losing oneself, of vanishing into nothingness,
should become so prominent among children of Nancy’s age. The emerging
self-sense, the sense of identity is closely bound up with the body concept.
While no child has ever had the experience of having his body disappear, he has
experience the disappearance of his conscious ego in sleep or states bordering
on sleep. It is disturbing to the child who has newly found his identity to
lose it; to see it disappear as consciousness dissolves in the moment before
falling asleep. We have already suggested that this is one of the reasons why
so many children of this age fight off sleep. We can see the application of
these ideas to Nancy’s fear of vanishing down a drain. It is the fear of losing
one’s self, of dissolving into nothingness.
‘All very
interesting,’ says Nancy’s mother. ‘But in the meantime what do we do? Do we
give up baths until Nancy acquires a concept of her body size or overcomes her
fear of loss of identity? And since Nancy doesn’t talk very well, yet, just how
could we explain anything to her anyway?
Now, of
course, we don’t want to wait until, Nancy learns about relative size before
giving her a bath! She still needs to have her bath and unless the anxiety is
very strong, we would continue to bathe her in the tub. But our knowledge that
she is afraid will make a difference in our handling. We will not behave as if
she were being ‘just stubborn’ and we must show her
who is boss. We’ll be specially gentle and reassuring and do everything
possible to make the bath pleasant and encourage her to play in the tub. It
will be easier for a time if we allow the water to remain in the tub while
Nancy is in the bath and even for a while after she is out of the tub.
Her
concern with the flushing toilet suggests that there may be some anxiety
connected with toilet training that needs to be taken into account too. We
recall from an earlier discussion of toilet training that children during the
training period commonly react with some anxiety to the disappearance of their
stools. Some reassurances in this area and relaxations of any pressures in
toilet training might ease the anxieties about drains, too.(pp.172-175)
What these
scientific insights represent today, from a historical perspective, is the
product of an advanced liberal culture which effectively improved communication
between individuals living in a relatively privileged setting. Reason was the
universal point of reference, and the bourgeois revolutionaries wore it as a
badge of honor; they were the missionaries bringing light to darkness.
These days, more and
more people see this view as just another instance of “placing the cart before
the horse.” First, the conditions in which a social class is living – its
subjective and objective relationships with the rest of society and the natural world - must be taken
into account, before improvements in health, education and spiritual growth can
be expected.
Many from the
privileged social classes scoff at this idea of the prerequisite imperative of equalizing
material and social conditions. Such thinking is rendered incomprehensible by
their ideological biases favoring Possessive
Individualism. On the other hand,
a growing number of people are becoming aware that they risk being transformed into followers of fascism through the material coercion of job
losses, low incomes, the threat of homelessness, and repeated violations of
their physical and mental well being. This awareness represents a micro
resistance that can be expected to grow to revolutioinary dimensions within the ideological framwork of "Socialism or Barbarism!"

Karl Rove's Prophecy
https://www.unz.com/article/karl-roves-prophecy/?showcomments
by
Karel van Wolferen
January 23, 2017
In a famous exchange between
a high official at the court of George W. Bush and journalist Ron Suskind, the official – later acknowledged to have been
Karl Rove – takes the journalist to task for working in “the reality-based
community.” He defined that as believing “that solutions emerge from your
judicious study of discernible reality.” Rove then asserted that this was
no longer the way in which the world worked:
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we
create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality – judiciously,
as you will – we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can
study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . .
and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” (Ron Suskind, NYTimes Magazine, Oct. 17, 2004).

WikiLeaks' Julian Assange
struggling in 'atrocious' British prison conditions, says partner
by Michael Daventry
With three weeks remaining until a British judge
decides whether to extradite him, supporters of Julian Assange
say he is struggling under "atrocious" prison conditions in London.
The WikiLeaks founder is
currently in the top-security Belmarsh prison, where
he was moved following his arrest last year.
He is said to be in confinement following a coronavirus outbreak among other inmates. His partner Stella
Morris claims conditions are dangerous.
"He's in atrocious circumstances," Morris
told Sky News Australia earlier this week.
"The prison is a dangerous place, suicides and
murders are commonplace, he is surrounded by very serious criminals, one in
five are convicted of murder.

Subject: Rest in Power, Ali. Someday, Palestine will be Free
He was only 15, excited to celebrate his birthday with a cake
and a party with his family. He was watching with horror as the Israeli
military attacked protestors in his village. Then he was fatally shot in the
stomach. Last weekend, Ali Abu Alia became the fifth Palestinian child
to be killed by live ammunition from the Israeli military this year.
Tragically, he is unlikely to be the last. The United States sends $3.8
billion to the Israeli military every year. Not only does that money directly
fund a 53-year-long military occupation, but it supplies U.S. weapons to kill
and maim Palestinians, including children. Tell
Congress: Have a heart for Palestinian children. Support legislation to stop
funding their abuse and murder. According to Jeff Klein in Mondoweiss,
between 2008 and 2011, live-fire rounds of Ruger’s
.22 caliber sniper rifles, manufactured in Newport, NH, killed at least six
Palestinians. Their names: 17-year-old Kusai al-Afrandi, 10-year-old Ahmad Musa, 20-year-old Mohammed Khawaje, 22-year-old Mohammed Hamid,
14-year-old Izzedine al-Jamal, and 36-year-old
Yusuf Aqel. Now, Ali Abu Alia, killed on his
15th birthday, joins the list of those murdered. Israel began importing Ruger .22
sniper rifles for “riot control” during the First Intifada, arguing that
these weapons were “less lethal,” but Ali’s murder proves otherwise. Tell
Congress to stop
allowing U.S. dollars to fund Israel’s abuse and murder of children. Tell
them to support McCollum’s work to hold Israel (and Sturm, Ruger Co.) accountable for taking young Ali’s life. Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota’s vital legislation is
designed to protect the lives and basic human rights of Palestinian youth. H.R.
2407, the Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under
Israeli Military Occupation Act, would prohibit U.S. dollars from being
used to fund the “detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill-treatment of
children.” We can’t decide what’s more shameful: that her legislation is even
necessary in the first place, or that thus far it has received so little
support. Tell
Congress: Have a heart for Palestinian children. Support legislation to stop
funding their abuse and murder. Upon the killing of Ali, Betty McCullum
called on “the incoming Biden administration to fully investigate and verify
to the American people that no U.S. taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel
provided material assistance enabling this taking of a child’s life.” The
EU Delegation to the Palestinians and UN Special Coordinator for the Middle
East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov
called for an investigation and reaffirmed that “children enjoy special
protection under international law,” and UNICEF released a statement asking
Israel to ”fully respect, protect, and fulfill the
rights of all children and refrain from using violence against children, in
accordance with International law.” With U.S. military assistance that includes no accountability,
Israel has proven that it will neither respect international law nor the
rights of children, even the right to live. We can't have more children
suffer the same tragic fate as Ali and all the Palestinian youth who like him
have died at the hands of Israel’s military. May Ali’s memory be a
catalyst for Congress
to support H.R. 2407. Towards justice for Ali, |
The Israeli military has gunned down yet another Palestinian child,
15-year-old Ali Abu Alia. That Ali’s death will not be in vain, please take a moment to ask Congress to condition US military
assistance to Israel so it not be used to destroy young Palestinian lives!

Everyone Is
Already Wearing a Mask. They Just Don’t Work
https://www.globalresearch.ca/everyone-already-wearing-mask-they-just-dont-work/5731614
by Jordan Schachtel
Americans
have exceeded universal masking benchmarks, but it has not slowed or stopped
the spread of COVID-19.
One of the most
common pro-mask arguments I’ve heard over the course of the past year, both
from “public health experts” and your average citizen, sounds similar to the
following statement:
“If only
everyone would just wear a mask, we would be able to crush the virus and end
the pandemic.”
This line of
reasoning is frequently espoused by lockdown governors and “public health
experts.” You see, the problem isn’t them, it’s you, the citizen, we’re told.
Wear a mask, peasant. You’re the problem! You’re the reason why the pandemic is
still a problem in this country.
Deaths up? Why
aren’t you wearing a mask. Cases up? Wear a mask.
Hospitals crowded? The problem is that not enough people are wearing masks,
they claim.
°°°°°°°
The idea that
not enough Americans are wearing masks is detached from reality. And we have
the data to prove it. The Delphi group at Carnegie Mellon University
has developed a very informative, consistently updated mask
compliance tracker. It shows that the overwhelming majority of Americans across
the nation are wearing masks.
