Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

My fellow Americans

My fellow Americans:
 
I speak to you tonight in an hour of grave danger to our nation. As you know, within the next few hours our government is in danger of failing to make payments of interest and principal which the United States Treasury has contracted to make. In technical terms, we are not far away from beginning to default on payments associated with those US Treasury securities which represent the public debt of the United States. As part of the same crisis, there is now a threat to over 70 million checks which your government issues every month — payments which go to recipients of Social Security, to providers of health services under the Medicare program, to Medicaid beneficiaries, to our active-duty and retired military personnel, to our defense contractors, to our government employees — in short, to everyone who receives a benefit from the federal government, who works for the federal government, or who does business with the federal government.

CIA’s Fake “Arab Spring”

The CIA’s Fake “Arab Spring” Becoming A Long, Hot Summer Of War

[Traduttore]

Obama Regime Courts World Conflagration: Imperial Overstretch Threatens as US, NATO Wage Five Wars: Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, and Yemen – Are Syria, Iran, Lebanon Next?

Webster G. Tarpley, Ph.D.
TARPLEY.net
June 20, 2011

Washington DC, June 20- With the previously covert US bombing of Yemen out in the open, the Obama administration is now waging illegal wars against at least five countries – Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, and Yemen. Given Obama’s absurd and Orwellian theory that acts of war from the air in the sea do not constitute hostilities under the terms of the War Powers Act, this list may be incomplete, and stealth US attacks may be going on elsewhere as well. As spring turns into summer along the banks of the Potomac, there are signs that Obama’s next move may be a trifecta of aggression – an attack on Syria which would also embroil the US in war with Iran and with the Hezbollah forces of Lebanon. Or, the Obama rampage may strike Pakistan. The “Arab Spring” of color revolutions, military coups, and destabilizations is moving inexorably towards a possible world conflagration whose outlines are already visible.

According to military sources speaking on the Alex Jones radio program on June 15, US Special Forces units based at Fort Hood, Texas, have been told to prepare for deployment to Libya no later than July. Also on alert, reportedly for September or October, are the heavy armored units of the First Cavalry Division, currently located in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with other components of the US III Corps at various US bases. Observers point out that US Special Forces have been in Libya since February at the latest. They also note that, while the Libyan destination is highly plausible, some of these units may also find themselves on the way to Yemen, Syria, Iran, or beyond. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry was denouncing the presence of the US Aegis cruiser Monterrey in the Black Sea. The amphibious assault ship USS Bataan and its task force are presently off the coast of Syria. One very plausible explanation for these deployments might be that a US attack on Syria, under the pretext of protecting civilians, is imminent.

On June 19, CNN reported1 a large-scale US Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps military drill, the biggest of its type in history, along much of the American Atlantic coast under the code name of Exercise Mailed Fist, to be conducted from June 19-24. “The exercise is designed to test the capability of every type of Marine Corps aircraft, including MV-22 Ospreys and F/A 18 Hornets, as well as some Navy ships and Air Force planes,” CNN reported. This drill appears designed to train for Continue reading The CIA’s Fake “Arab Spring” Becoming A Long, Hot Summer Of War

The word God is the product of human weakness 

In January of 1954, just a year before his death, Albert Einstein wrote the following letter to philosopher Erik Gutkind after reading his book, 'Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt'. Apparently Einstein had only read the book due to repeated recommendation by their mutual friend Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer. The letter was bought at auction in May 2008, for £170,000. Unsurprisingly, one of the unsuccessful bidders was Richard Dawkins.

Translated transcript follows.

Recommended reading: Einstein and Religion.

 

Translated Transcript

Princeton, 3. 1. 1954

Dear Mr Gutkind,

Inspired by Brouwer’s repeated suggestion, I read a great deal in your book, and thank you very much for lending it to me ... With regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common. Your personal ideal with its striving for freedom from ego-oriented desires, for making life beautiful and noble, with an emphasis on the purely human element ... unites us as having an “American Attitude.”

Still, without Brouwer’s suggestion I would never have gotten myself to engage intensively with your book because it is written in a language inaccessible to me. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. ... For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong ... have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything “chosen” about them.

In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision...

Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e. in our evaluation of human behavior ... I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.

With friendly thanks and best wishes,

Yours,

A. Einstein

Expect less Not zero, just less.

OUGLAS COUPLAND
From Saturday's Globe and Mail
Published Friday, Oct. 08, 2010 6:49PM EDT
Last updated Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010 10:24PM EDT

1) It's going to get worse

No silver linings and no lemonade. The elevator only goes down. The bright note is that the elevator will, at some point, stop.

WORDS TO LIVE BY
A glossary of new terms for a messed-up future
2) The future isn't going to feel futuristic

It's simply going to feel weird and out-of-control-ish, the way it does now, because too many things are changing too quickly. The reason the future feels odd is because of its unpredictability. If the future didn't feel weirdly unexpected, then something would be wrong.

3) The future is going to happen no matter what we do. The future will feel even faster than it does now

The next sets of triumphing technologies are going to happen, no matter who invents them or where or how. Not that technology alone dictates the future, but in the end it always leaves its mark. The only unknown factor is the pace at which new technologies will appear. This technological determinism, with its sense of constantly awaiting a new era-changing technology every day, is one of the hallmarks of the next decade.

4)Move to Vancouver, San Diego, Shannon or Liverpool

There'll be just as much freaky extreme weather in these west-coast cities, but at least the west coasts won't be broiling hot and cryogenically cold.

5) You'll spend a lot of your time feeling like a dog leashed to a pole outside the grocery store – separation anxiety will become your permanent state

6) The middle class is over. It's not coming back

Remember travel agents? Remember how they just kind of vanished one day?

That's where all the other jobs that once made us middle-class are going – to that same, magical, class-killing, job-sucking wormhole into which travel-agency jobs vanished, never to return. However, this won't stop people from self-identifying as middle-class, and as the years pass we'll be entering a replay of the antebellum South, when people defined themselves by the social status of their ancestors three generations back. Enjoy the new monoclass!

7) Retail will start to resemble Mexican drugstores

In Mexico, if one wishes to buy a toothbrush, one goes to a drugstore where one of every item for sale is on display inside a glass display case that circles the store. One selects the toothbrush and one of an obvious surplus of staff runs to the back to fetch the toothbrush. It's not very efficient, but it does offer otherwise unemployed people something to do during the day.

8) Try to live near a subway entrance

In a world of crazy-expensive oil, it's the only real estate that will hold its value, if not increase.

9) The suburbs are doomed, especially thoseE.T. , California-style suburbs

This is a no-brainer, but the former homes will make amazing hangouts for gangs, weirdoes and people performing illegal activities. The pretend gates at the entranceways to gated communities will become real, and the charred stubs of previous white-collar homes will serve only to make the still-standing structures creepier and more exotic.

10) In the same way you can never go backward to a slower computer, you can never go backward to a lessened state of connectedness

11) Old people won't be quite so clueless

No more “the Google,” because they'll be just that little bit younger.

12) Expect less

Not zero, just less.

13) Enjoy lettuce while you still can

And anything else that arrives in your life from a truck, for that matter. For vegetables, get used to whatever it is they served in railway hotels in the 1890s. Jams. Preserves. Pickled everything.

14) Something smarter than us is going to emerge

Thank you, algorithms and cloud computing.

15) Make sure you've got someone to change your diaper

Sponsor a Class of 2112 med student. Adopt up a storm around the age of 50.

16) “You” will be turning into a cloud of data that circles the planet like a thin gauze

While it's already hard enough to tell how others perceive us physically, your global, phantom, information-self will prove equally vexing to you: your shopping trends, blog residues, CCTV appearances – it all works in tandem to create a virtual being that you may neither like nor recognize.

17) You may well burn out on the effort of being an individual

You've become a notch in the Internet's belt. Don't try to delude yourself that you're a romantic lone individual. To the new order, you're just a node. There is no escape

18) Untombed landfills will glut the market with 20th-century artifacts

19) The Arctic will become like Antarctica – an everyone/no one space

Who owns Antarctica? Everyone and no one. It's pie-sliced into unenforceable wedges. And before getting huffy, ask yourself, if you're a Canadian: Could you draw an even remotely convincing map of all those islands in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories? Quick, draw Ellesmere Island.

9 Years of War on Afghanistan

Dear Urbano,

October 6-7: Protest 9 Years of War on Afghanistan

The Crimes are Crimes statement will be published in The New York Times the week of October 3 in conjunction with the anniversary of the war.  We need $28,000 more to pay for the ad by Oct 1.

 

 9 years of murder and war. 9 years of torture and rape. 9 years of military recruiters lying, preying and tricking young people into killing and dying in these wars.

Many people think that Obama has stopped the war in Iraq but in reality, combat troops are still on the ground and a 3,000 troop brigade was just deployed there, and thousands are still arriving in Afghanistan. There are now more troops in the Middle East under Obama than there were under Bush. These wars are not over!

Millions have seen the Collateral Murder video, which shows U.S. Troops purposefully killing 12 civilians from a helicopter.  Military documents leaked on Wiki-leaks reveal hundreds of civilian deaths, execution squads and other war crimes perpetrated by the U.S. Military. Many people who have seen this video have changed their minds about joining the military and their support for the war.

Everybody, especially young people must spread the truth to their friends, family members and classmates about what the military is REALLY recruiting for. On October 6, take a stand against these wars wherever you are! Whether you are one person, or a group of people that can act, truth is contagious.

Show the film Collateral Murder in your classroom, in the cafeteria or on the street.  Wear a "Military Recruiters Get The Hell Away From Me" t-shirt to school. Sport an orange bandanna that says "We Are Not Your Soldiers." Let us know what your plans are and post it on our Facebook page. We are going to collect pictures and videos that we can spread all over the world to show the people living in Iraq and Afghanistan that we will not allow these crimes to be committed in our names.

Everyone who got a DVD copy of Collateral Murder should show it October 6/7!  If you don't have one, ask for one here.Events took place around the country last week supporting Bradley Manning. We were pleased to have Ethan McCord join us by phone in New York, to talk about why and how soldiers lose their minds and their humanity in the occupations.  Marjorie Cohn writes today that Bradley Manning is a hero, and details how the actions taken by the US Army in the Collateral Murder film he is charged with leaking violate international law:

"The charges against Manning end with the language, "such conduct being prejudicial to good order and discipline in the armed forces and being of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces." On the contrary, if Manning did what he is suspected of doing, he should be honored as an American hero for exposing war crimes and hopefully, ultimately, helping to end this war."

The bomb

 
push the image.
 

As an active WWII bombardier returning from the end of the war in Europe and preparing for combat in Japan, Howard Zinn read the headline "Atomic Bomb Dropped on Japan" and was glad—the war would be over. "Like other Americans," writes Zinn, "I had no idea what was going on at the higher levels, and had no idea what that 'atomic bomb' had done to men, women, children in Hiroshima, any more than I ever really understood what the bombs I dropped on European cities were doing to human flesh and blood." During the war, Zinn had taken part in the aerial bombing of Royan, France, and in 1966, he went to Hiroshima, where he was invited to a "house of rest" where survivors of the bombing gathered. In this short and powerful book, the backstory of the making and use of the bomb, Zinn offers his deep personal reflections and political analysis of these events, and the profound influence they had in transforming him from an order-taking combat soldier to one of our greatest anti-authoritarian, anti-war historians. Simultaneous publication this August in the U.S. and Japan commemorates the 65th anniversary of the USA's two atomic bombings of Japan by calling for the abolition of all nuclear weapons and an end to war as an acceptable solution to human conflict. "Part history, part memoir, part sermon, The Bomb is meant to wake up citizens, to rouse them to reject 'the abstractions of duty and obedience' and to refuse to heed the call of war." —Jonah Raskin, The Rag Blog   Publisher City Lights Publishers ISBN-10 0-87286-509-6 ISBN-13 978-0-87286-509-9 Publication Date August 2010 List Price $8.95 We also suggest   Palestine Betrayed Professor Efraim Karsh 2010 Edition   other titles in the collection • City Lights Open Media

Emergency in Afghanistan

http://counterpunch.com/leonardi04192010.html

Raiding a Hospital
Emergency in Afghanistan

By MICHAEL LEONARDI

On the 10th of April a hospital operated by the Italian Non Governmental Organization
Emergency in Lashkar-gah in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan was attacked and shut
down by Afghan police and Afghan secret service in cooperation with the British military,
who secured the perimeter outside of the hospital. The surgical center was entered by
Afghan armed forces who then went directly to a storage closet where they identified several
boxes that contained suicide vests, grenades and other armaments. Three Italian staff
members were arrested along with six Afghan members of the hospital staff. 

The role played by the Italian based medical relief agency Emergency in Afghanistan has
been the antithesis of NATO´s war for peace onslaught on the Afghan population.
Emergency established a presence in Afghanistan in 1999 and operates three surgical
centers, a maternity clinic and a network of 28 health centers in Afghanistan. Emergency is
neutral and has a policy of treating all victims of war regardless of what side they may be
affiliated with. Emergency´s surgical center for victims of war in Lashkar-gah has treated over
66 thousand people since it began operating in 2004. 

After a week of wild accusations from the Afghan authorities and in the British media,
condemnations of Emergency by elements of the Berlusconi government, and a mass
mobilization in Italy on behalf of Emergency and their clear stance against the war, the three
Italians were freed on Sunday the 18th of April. The Karzai government cited lack of
concrete evidence as a the motive for the release of the Italians, but it is now being stated by
some elements of the Afghan negotiating team that the Italian government promised to stop
the operation of Emergency´s hospital in Lashkar-gah in exchange for the Italians´ release. 

The three Emergency workers who were arrested in what looks to be an effort to stop and
discredit the work of this forceful anti-war organization are logistical coordinator Matteo
Pagani, nurse Matteo Dell´ Aria and surgeon Marco Garatti. One of the accusations against
them is that they were involved in a plot to assassinate the governor of the Helmand
province and that they had received 500,000 dollars to carry out this attack. Elements of the
Berlusconi-led government, including Maurizio Gasparri, president of the majority for
Berlusconi´s People of Freedom Party in the Senate, and Ignazio La Russa, minister of
defense, were quick to denounce Emergency as a disgrace to the Italian people and as
supporters of terrorism. 

The media outlets in Britain were the first internationally to report on Emergency´s troubles
and the pro war elements in Italy, usually quick to denounce the British media as anti-
Berlusconi Stalinists, seized on the accusations in an attempt to discredit Emergency´s work
and anti-war stance. Emergency´s founder Gino Strada denounced the attack on the
hospital in Lashkar-gah as an obvious attempt to frame the organization and stop their
support and care of the civilian victims of war. He pointed to the corrupt governor and police
force of the Helmand region, in cooperation with NATO as the culprits for this attack on the
NGO and hindrance of their work. 

During the week from the 10th to the 18th there was a mass mobilization on behalf of
Emergency throughout the Italian peninsula. The social networks such as facebook were
abuzz with "I am with Emergency" lists and pages being created in support of the
organization and its´ captive workers. "I am with Emergency" Banners were flown from
balcony´s across the country and on Saturday over 50,000 people rallied in Rome´s piazza
San Giovanni to call for the liberation of Emergency´s workers and an end to the war as the
solution to the world´s conflicts. 

Emergency is neutral in their administering of medical treatment but forcefully partisan in
their stance against all wars, the use of landmines, and the constant attacks on the civilian
population witnessed daily in NATO/American led "war on terror". Emergency repudiates war
and documents the civilian toll of injuries and death the "war on terror" continues accumulate
with its campaign of indiscriminate bombings and shootings, decimations of entire villages
and staged television battles. 

Emergency reported that over 41% of the victims of war that they treated at their Lashkar-
gah hospital in 2009 were children under the age of 14 years old, and that well over 50% of
the victims were civilians. These are numbers that NATO, and in particular the British who
operate in that area along with the Afghan forces, would not like the public to know as they
continue to hope that their Orwellian war for peace doublespeak will eventually convince
people of their just cause in opening the floodgates of Heroin and developing a natural gas
pipeline through indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population. 

Endless war seems the only refuge for this insane Global Economy based on the
exploitation of human and non-renewable natural resources and intent on making this planet
unlivable for future generations. Emergency does not buy into Obama´s and NATO´s "just
war" argument awarded by the Nobel commission. An open letter from Gino Strada that was
published by the Italian daily la Repubblica on Thursday the 15th of April states: 

"We will not be silenced, Emergency has a high idea of politics, we think in terms of the
objective of finding a way to be together on this planet, to be a global community. We
believe that we can find a way to live together, leaving intact our diversity, but avoiding killing
each other. Emergency is inside this goal. We believe that the use of violence creates other
violence, we believe that only gravely insufficient brains can love, desire, and praise war. We
don´t believe in war as an instrument, it is horrible, and monstrously stupid to think that it
can function effectively. Can we remember `the war to end all wars´ of American president
Wilson? It was in 1916. And how can we think to end all war if we continue to make them?
The last war can only be one already concluded, not one still underway. 

The response of Emergency is simple. We learned from Albert Einstein that war cannot be
made be made pretty, or rendered less brutal: `War cannot be humanized, it can only be
abolished.´ In our idea of politics, and in our conscience as citizens, there is no space for
war. We have excluded it from our mental horizon. We repudiate war and want its abolition
the same as the abolition of slavery. 

Utopia? No, we are convinced that the abolition of war is a political project to realize, with
great urgency. For this we cannot be silent in the face of war, any war. We are guilty of
proposing the abolition of war." 

Billions of dollars continue to be spent on endless wars of Imperial Conquest. Meanwhile the
ecosystems on our planet continue to be ravaged by Global Capitalisms destructive engines
and war based economy. The American military industrial complex is still the dominant
reality and the ever more devastated environment is always pushed aside. When will
humanity make a shift away from utter stupidity and begin to address the irreparable
damage that our species has done?

U.S. citizens fighting for peace: I thank you very much!

Dear Members,
 
The demonstration in support of Emergency scheduled this Saturday, April 17, starting 2:30 pm will be held at Piazza San Giovanni. It quickly became clear that the large numbers being drawn to this important event would not fit in Piazza Navona!
 
We will be meeting at 2 pm outside the Manzoni Metro station, along with several other Italian groups (including MEDU [Medici per i diritti umani], and several associations that have been trying to assist Afghan refugees in Rome).
 

Show your support for Emergency's work and add more strength to the I SUPPORT EMERGENCY appeal (go to http://www.emergency.it/ to add your signature, if you haven't already done so) by joining us on Saturday, April 17th in Piazza San Giovanni, 2:30-7:00 pm.
 
The latest Press Release on EMERGENCY's site:
 
April 14, 2010
Milan, Italy - For 96 hours we have not had any official news regarding the EMERGENCY staff being held by the National Directorate of Security (NDS), the Afghan secret service agency.
Neither EMERGENCY, nor the families of the nine EMERGENCY staff members taken away 96 hours ago (including Italian nationals Matteo Dell’Aira, Marco Garatti and Matteo Pagani) have received any official news regarding their condition.
 
We have had no updates regarding the state of their health, and thus far we have no knowledge as to whether formal charges have been brought against them, or whether they have been able to see any attorneys; even though legal counsel has been appointed by EMERGENCY.
 
We have learned that they are still at the NDS facility in the Helmand region. The NDS reports directly to the National Security Council and ultimately to President Karzai. It is continually the focus of many grievances by international organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International for repeated human rights violations and for a failure to recognize legal rights for those detained under current Afghan law.
 
Therefore, we ask the Foreign Ministry again to do everything in its power to secure guarantees regarding our colleagues health and safety and their timely release.

---

See below for phone numbers and email addresses (including those of the Italian Foreign Ministry) that you can use to express your concern and support for the EMERGENCY staff being held in Afghanistan.

 
Please let us know if you plan to join us (write to info@peaceandjustice.it). As U.S. citizens fighting for peace and justice, it is really important that we show our support for EMERGENCY now.
 
We hope to see you at the demonstration on the 17th!
