In the 1970s the South African government began easing some of its racial restrictions, but the pace did not satisfy the ANC, and wide-scale violence committed by extremists on both sides took hundreds of lives. Even though the government of P.W. Botha seemed committed to ending apartheid, opponents of the system demanded more reforms and at a faster pace.

The charismatic Anglican bishop, Desmond Tutu, rallied western support with his call for a boycott of South Africa, primarily through economic sanctions. The administration of Ronald Reagan opposed formal sanctions, preferring to exert quiet pressure to speed up reform. But the demand for sanctions could not be quieted, and in 1986 Congress overrode a presidential veto to ban the importation of South African goods and prohibit American business investments in South Africa.

While some critics believe the sanctions were more symbolic than anything else, others claim that they did contribute to rapid political change in South Africa. In 1990 President F.W. de Klerk released Nelson Mandela after twenty-seven years of imprisonment, opened negotiations with the ANC and scrapped most of the apartheid laws. In 1992 a strong majority of the country's white population voted to endorse de Klerk's dismantling of apartheid and the extension of political rights to the black majority. When this happened, President Bush lifted the economic sanctions, claiming that the purpose of the bill had been successfully carried out.

Hope Janeane 24 story is for real. They got me last year when they said that Eddie Izzard was going to join the cast which never happened.

Kiefer can tell her how to hide her tats.

You guys did know that KKKarl Rove's dad was a flaming piercing freak; you know -- like father, like son; the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, etc.?

And the rednecks think Rover's nic, Turd Blossom (compliments of the much-appreciative Dubya), is just a cutesy little pet name.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...god, guns & gays rule Karl's worldview. Hypocrisy, thy name is Turd Blossom. *snark*

Essay: "I'm the proud owner of Karl Rove’s father’s solid gold cock ring."

[...] Louie is Louis Claude Rove whose adopted son’s first name is Karl. Louie died quietly in Palm Springs as his very secular, not-believing son ran President Bush’s campaign for President of the United States that energized the Christian evangelical base around the wedge issue of gay marriage...

As I watched the news this week, I saw a Karl Rove standing beside the President, his voice crocking, talking about his love for Bush and his country but over that “noise,” I heard the memory of Joe Koons whispering in my ear.

“You do know who his son is?”

... Oh My God!

And now I wondered if that son ever cried for the man who raised him and watched him grow up? I’d be curious as to how Karl Rove would ever explain his pierced, gay father? He never told the people in Louis’ phone book that he had died, nor invited them to a service if there was one. No one even knows where he is buried.

As for me? Well, I am the proud owner of Karl Rove’s father’s pure, solid gold cock ring! I’ve put it away with a few memories and pictures of his father. And in my garden grows a nasty, prickly little cactus from Louie’s backyard ... alive and well.

[The cactus must have reminded Louie of his step son -- nasty & prickly.]

By providing huge cash infusions to ease credit and reignite "animal spirits," the Fed and other central banks showed they aren't listening. It proves what Ralph Nader said in his August 19 Countercurrents article called "Corporate Capitalists: Government Comes To The Rescue" that's also on CounterPunch titled "Greed and Folly on Wall Street." With "corporate capitalists' knees" a bit shaky, Nader recalled what his father once explained years ago when he asked and then told his children: "Why will capitalism always survive? Because socialism will always be used to save it." Put another way, the American business ethic has always been socialism for the rich, and, sink or swim, free market capitalism for the rest of us.

As someone who did the Lord’s work, Mother Teresa questioned the very existence of God.

[ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HNWOj_dFSR4 ] From when he was serial executioner as the Governor of Texas to the current unremorseful mass murderer as President of the United States, George W. Bush has become all too accustomed to killing. Is he criminally insane or someone with an antisocial personality disorder playing in the world sandbox? Apparently, he regards our troops, not to mention countless others, as expendable. His neoconservative administration and its military-industrial-media enablers must be held accountable for their actions. Most Americans pay taxes and most of us want our government to bring our troops home from Iraq. Yet our government has failed to do so. Clearly, this is a case of taxation without representation.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - A hot air balloon burst into flames over western Canada, burning two passengers to death while their families looked on, police said Saturday. Other passengers leaped to the ground, some with their clothes in flames, witnesses said.

Eleven people were seriously injured when the balloon crashed Friday evening in a recreational vehicle park in Surrey, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver. There were 12 passengers and a pilot on board, police and witnesses said.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Roger Morrow said relatives of the two passengers killed witnessed the fire. He declined to comment on reports that the dead were a mother and her grown daughter.

"It's just tragic. They watched it unfold before their eyes," Morrow said of the families. "The fatalities suffered from burns."

The balloon caught fire as it prepared to launch, said Bill Yearwood, an investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

"The crew loaded 12 passengers and was preparing to launch when a fire erupted. The pilot asked the passengers to get out of the basket," he said. "The balloon was tethered at the time, but then broke and came loose," he added.

"They were all trying to get out."

After most of the passengers escaped, the balloon exploded in a fireball and shot up into the air. Shortly after, the burning balloon plunged to ground in the RV park, leaving a tail of thick black smoke in its wake.

"I can't tell you what exactly happened when the balloon was loosened from the tether," Yearwood said. "We will be talking to attending crew members and the pilot to find out."

He said the pilot was in stable condition.

"The thing went up about 400 feet in the air at which point it melted enough of the balloon - it collapsed," said Don Randall, a resident of the trailer park who took pictures of the scene. "The basket was basically a fireball. It just dropped like a stone," he added.

"I'm just thinking, 'Oh geez, I hope there's nobody in that thing. It's basically a burning death up there,'" he said.

Smoke could be seen billowing from the crash site from miles away.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known. Weather conditions were clear at the time of the sunset flight.

"People were screaming and trying to get out," Frank Hersey said Friday night near a grassy field where several of the injured were being attended to by ambulance crews.

Perry Kendall said he saw what looked like something out of a movie.

"It was horrifying," said a shaken Kendall. "Just looking at people screaming and jumping out of there. Some of them, I think, had fire on their clothes. It was just awful."

Witnesses also said propane tanks from the balloon shot off and landed on the Hazelmere RV park below, setting fire to three trailers and several vehicles. No one was reported hurt in those blazes.

"We're exceptionally lucky that nobody in any of these three trailers or in the vehicles that were destroyed were caught in them," Morrow said.

The hot-air balloon, which CTV reported was operated by Fantasy Balloons Charters based in Langley, British Columbia, was one of several balloons in flight at the time.

Company spokesman John K. George said he does not know why the balloon caught fire shortly after takeoff.

"The company deeply regrets this evening's incident and all injuries associated with it (and) inconvenience to those people being displaced," George said.

A similar incident occurred earlier this month in the central Canadian province of Manitoba, Manitoba, where 12 people were injured.

Fed bends rules to help two big banks

NEW YORK (Fortune) -- In a clear sign that the credit crunch is still affecting the nation's largest financial institutions, the Federal Reserve agreed this week to bend key banking regulations to help out Citigroup (Charts, Fortune 500) and Bank of America (Charts, Fortune 500), according to documents posted Friday on the Fed's web site.

The Aug. 20 letters from the Fed to Citigroup and Bank of America state that the Fed, which regulates large parts of the U.S. financial system, has agreed to exempt both banks from rules that effectively limit the amount of lending that their federally-insured banks can do with their brokerage affiliates. The exemption, which is temporary, means, for example, that Citigroup's Citibank entity can substantially increase funding to Citigroup Global Markets, its brokerage subsidiary. Citigroup and Bank of America requested the exemptions, according to the letters, to provide liquidity to those holding mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other securities.

Black Thursday redux, anyone...anyone? Ya think there's a reason why banking subsidiaries were, since the '29 crash & until recenly, forbidden to provide liquidity to investment/brokerage subsidiaries?

The political prisoners accuse Yahoo! of wrongfully providing their internet user information to the Chinese government, leading directly to their arbitrary arrest, long-term detention, and abuse and torture. This will be Yahoo!’s first statement to the court on the substantive issues raised by the case since the lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in April 2007.

The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and with a week to go until the physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether.

When the big day came, he had been living in excrement-caked and urine-stained pants.

Sony Japan has just posted a short video and press release detailing its latest fuel cell - a device that uses not ethanol or methanol this time, but glucose extracted from grape juice and sports drinks.

The four-cell array can be seen powering speakers attached to a Network Walkman after being filled with a squirt of grape extract and a small fan using the sugar in a Gatorade-type sports drink.

According to the release, enzymes from the labs of Kyoto University’s agriculture department break down the glucose, allowing the Bio Battery - as they’ve dubbed it - to generate a world record 50mW of power.

So, let’s see - carry around combustible alcohol for our future fuel cells or share a splash of Gatorade with the gadgets? Hmm…

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's National Assembly, dominated by allies of President Hugo Chavez, gave unanimous initial approval Tuesday to constitutional reforms that would allow him to run for re-election and possibly govern for decades to come.

Assembly President Cilia Flores said Chavez's proposed changes to the constitution, including the lifting of presidential term limits, were approved by all 167 lawmakers after about six hours of debate.

A 65-year-old man was arrested and charged with arson and multiple counts of homicide in a fire that killed six people in Areopolis, a town in the southern Peloponnese, said fire department spokesman Nikos Diamandis.

"So many fires breaking out simultaneously in so many parts of the country cannot be a coincidence," Karamanlis said a nationally televised address. "The state will do everything it can to find those responsible and punish them."

The deadliest fire was in the western Peloponnese region of southern Greece, where at least 38 people were killed in mountain villages near the town Zaharo, the fire department said. A massive fire whipped by strong winds continued to burn out of control.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine -- Even though President George W. Bush wasn't in town, more than 1,000 anti-war protesters marched by his family compound Saturday in Kennebunkport.

Activists from all over the country arrived by bus, bicycle and foot at a local school to begin a two-mile march to the Bush summer home at Walker's Point.

Along the way they pounded drums, chanted and carried signs and banners with slogans such as "Don't Pay for this War" and "Care for Vets." Some protesters called for Bush's impeachment, but others had more moderate messages of support for the troops but opposition to the war.

Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich and Cindy Sheehan, who became an activist after her son was killed in Iraq, spoke to the crowd.

Sheehan said it was energizing to be with people who want this war to end.

‘Spectacular attack’ expected in Iraq in coming weeks. Today, the Washington Post reports that despite political pressure, the Bush administration “hopes to keep in place its existing military strategy and troop levels there after the mid-September report” by the White House. Several administration officials said that they “expect the insurgents to attempt a spectacular attack in the next several weeks.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/24/AR200708...

U.S. soldiers disdainful of WH ‘happy talk’ on Iraq. Soldiers in Iraq “are increasingly disdainful of the happy talk that they say commanders on the ground and White House officials are using in their discussions about the war” and “becoming vocal about their frustration over longer deployments and a taxing mission.” The LA Times writes:

Some say two wars are being fought here: the one the enlisted men see, and the one that senior officers and politicians want the world to see.

“I don’t see any progress. Just us getting killed,” said Spc. Yvenson Tertulien, one of those in the dining hall in Yousifiya, 10 miles south of Baghdad, as Bush’s speech aired last month. “I don’t want to be here anymore.” […]

The signs of frustration and of flagging morale are unmistakable, including blunt comments, online rants and the findings of surveys on military morale and suicides.

Sometimes the signs are to be found even in latrines. In the stalls at Baghdad’s Camp Liberty, someone had posted Army help cards listing “nine signs of suicide.” On one card, seven of the boxes had been checked.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-morale25aug25,0,3144...

Despite escalation, Iraqi civilian deaths double. The Iraqi civilian death toll “from sectarian attacks around the country is running nearly double the pace from a year ago.” Compared to an average daily death toll of 33 in 2006, this year’s numbers indicate approximately 62 Iraqis have died war-related deaths each day this year. The AP reports that the recent bloodshed indicates the insurgency has drifted into northern parts of Iraq as a result of the escalation in Baghdad.

Ohhh, he meant he was high. My bad.

...three more months of using plastic sacks for toilets, burning their waste and hoping for packages from home.

I learned many things about our soldiers from the front page of my L.A. Times today, other than more about the increase in the number and duration of military tours and the number of suicides. Now there's an increase in disdain for happy talk from Bush and their own commanders.

I also learned that there are two different wars, according to Staff Sgt. Donald Richard Harris: That of the soldiers and that of the commanders in distant bases.

Gonzales to be replaced by Chertoff?

Why Chertoff?

More news at eleven.

(One joke in hundreds, maybe thousands of possibilities.)

Iraq fraud whistleblowers ‘vilified.’ A new AP investigation finds that despite the “staggering mess” plaguing Iraq reconstruction, people who have attempted to blow the whistle and clean up the fraud have been shunned by the federal government:

One way to blow the whistle is to file a “qui tam” lawsuit (taken from the Latin phrase “he who sues for the king, as well as for himself”) under the federal False Claims Act.

Signed by Abraham Lincoln in response to military contractors selling defective products to the Union Army, the act allows private citizens to sue on the government’s behalf.

The government has the option to sign on, with all plaintiffs receiving a percentage of monetary damages, which are tripled in these suits. […]

But the government has not joined a single quit tam suit alleging Iraq reconstruction abuse, estimated in the tens of millions. At least a dozen have been filed since 2004.

How can reasonable people conclude that President Bush is working in the best interests of the United States? The Manchurian Neoconservative has us bogged down in Iraq, rapidly leading to our moral and financial decline. Can you say former Soviet Union? Meanwhile, our infastructure is failing. Our public airwaves are being held captive by a consortium whose agenda conflicts with our own. Our public schools are nowhere near what they could be. Our government is certainly not representing the will of its citizens. Is the beleaguered Nancy Pelosi really the problem or is she being unfairly demonized? Under the current set of circumstances, could the personable Senator Barbara Boxer do any better?

For daring to report illegal arms sales, Navy veteran Donald Vance says he was imprisoned by the American military in a security compound outside Baghdad and subjected to harsh interrogation methods.

There were times, huddled on the floor in solitary confinement with that head-banging music blaring dawn to dusk and interrogators yelling the same questions over and over, that Vance began to wish he had just kept his mouth shut.

Waaaay too much "T," eh?

By LARRY O'DELL
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Michael Vick can only hope he will get more leniency from the judge than he did from the NFL.

Roger Goodell's letter informing the Atlanta Falcons quarterback of his suspension reads almost like a goodbye, the NFL commissioner doing nothing to hide his disgust and his disdain.

A similar reaction by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, who will be presented with Vick's plea agreement on Monday, could mean years in prison.

In court papers, Vick admitted bankrolling "Bad Newz Kennels" and participating in the killing of dogs in the dogfighting operation. But he tried to deflect much of his culpability in the grisly enterprise onto his friends.

That didn't deter Goodell, who was quick to hold Vick responsible, suspending him indefinitely and without pay Friday from the job that made him a millionaire and a superstar. The decision, on the brink of season opener, left the Falcons without their headline player.

Goodell made it forcefully clear Vick wasn't helping himself by trying to pawn off blame on his three co-defendants in the case.

"You are now justifiably facing consequences for the decisions you made and the conduct in which you engaged. Your career, freedom and public standing are now in the most serious jeopardy," Goodell wrote.

The portrait of Vick as a person who enjoyed the heinous blood sport has fueled protests by animal-rights activists and destroyed his image, prompting sponsors to dump him.

After initially denying his involvement, the 27-year-old player has said little publicly about the case. Privately, he met with Goodell and Falcons owner Arthur Blank when the investigation was just beginning, and lied to both.

Vick's defense attorney, Billy Martin, said Vick will "explain his actions" publicly, but did not say when. The "Tom Joyner Morning Show," a syndicated program based in Dallas, said it will have a live interview with Vick on Tuesday, and he will take questions from callers.

No matter what Vick says or doesn't say, the final word rests with Hudson, a judge whose household includes a Bison Friche, a white powder puff of a dog.

As he emphasized to Vick's co-defendants when they agreed to their plea deals, Hudson is not bound by a prosecutor's recommendations or by sentencing guidelines.

Vick will plead guilty to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog in an animal-fighting venture. Prosecutors will suggest a term of 12 to 18 months, but Hudson could give him five years, or more. The sentencing likely will be set before the end of the year.

His lawyers say they will try to minimize Vick's involvement.

"Our position has been that we are going to try to help Judge Hudson understand all the facts and Michael's role," Martin said in telephone interview. "Michael's role was different than others associated with this incident."

That role has been widely and loudly debated on sports talk radio, TV and football stadiums around the country.

Even before Vick admitted to his participation in the brutal sport, animal-rights groups protested outside NFL headquarters, Falcons camp and the federal court.

Nike severed its ties with him Friday, Reebok already has stopped selling his jersey and is accepting refunds for it. Upper Deck removed his card from its 2007 collection.

Reaction to the case largely has been divided along racial lines. Most of those defending Vick are black supporters; protesters have been predominantly white.

Black officials in Surry County got hate mail accusing them of dragging their feet on a local investigation to protect one of their own, and even the prosecutor there suggested race and profile were motives when the feds got involved.

In just a few weeks, you and more than 10,000 other members of the Dick Durbin online community stood up for the Great Lakes by flooding BP's CEO with e-mails, urging him to stop plans to dump more toxic chemicals into Lake Michigan.

Clearly, BP heard your message.

On Thursday, CEO Bob Malone announced that BP was reversing its decision to increase dumping in Lake Michigan. This is a watershed moment for the Great Lakes and for all of us who have fought to protect and preserve Lake Michigan.

Thanks so much for helping to stop BP's plan to increase dumping in the Great Lakes!

Truth be told, when I first wrote you about BP's alarming plans, I never expected such a tremendous response. I've truly been overwhelmed by the response from you and 10,000 more people who share our concern for Lake Michigan.

In addition to supplying over 30 million Americans with drinking water, the Great Lakes feed rivers that flow throughout the continent and eventually to the sea. BP's plans to expand dumping into Lake Michigan affected us all, which is why so many of us took action and spoke out.

Increasing America's refining capacity to cost-effectively produce oil and gas is critical to keeping fuel costs low -- as is increasing our efforts to seek alternative energy sources that diminish our country's reliance on foreign oil.

But BP finally figured out what we had said all along -- economic development and protecting our environment can go hand in hand.

There is still more work to be done. The duty remains in our hands to ensure BP fulfills their promise. We must continue to fight to not just protect the Lakes, but also to improve their environmental health. While I keep working with my colleagues in Washington to restore the Great Lakes, I hope you continue to join me in this fight.

Yesterday we saw that real change is possible, and the agent of change was you. Thank you for your dedication to making sure that our Lakes are protected for future generations.

Sincerely,

Dick Durbin
U.S. Senator

Rep. Baird’s ‘real progress’ in Iraq. On Friday, Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA), who recently returned from a trip to Iraq, wrote an op-ed in the Seattle Times arguing that withdrawal from Iraq “has the potential to turn the initial errors into an even greater problem just as success looks possible.” From the New York Times, an example of such “success“:

“That’s real progress,” Mr. Baird said, though he confessed he did not tell his wife about the region’s nickname, the triangle of death, and said the whole scene was a little surreal. “You have your flak jacket on, and your Kevlar helmet and you’re surrounded by guys with automatic weapons as you’re standing there, talking to the mayor. And you realize there’s a dusty old car next to you and you’re saying, ‘God, I hope that doesn’t blow up.’“

He's still going to get subpoenaed right? and indicted?

You think it's over?

I would hope that the House and Senate would continue to investigaste Gonzales. I think they are to far into this to let it go and the investigation also includes his department not just him.

We'll see but I would still send letters, emails and call your Senators and Reps to finish the job. Again, we don't want another Ag to get away with what Gonzales has pulled.

FDR delivered his most famous words at his First Inaugural Address in 1933.

Tim Robbins tells Stephen Hayes to apologize to America for linking al-Qaeda and Iraq
By: John Amato @ 4:18 PM - PDT ON the premiere of Real Time with Bill Maher, Tim Robbins told Cheney’s new BFF, Stephen Hayes to apologize for writing a book that tried to link al-Qaeda and Saddam so that it would appear he was in on the 9/11 attacks. And as C&L and many other blogs have been arguing is why are these people still considered “experts?”

Download (2249) | Play (3331) Download (1257) | Play (2104)

Robbins: You’re partly responsible, you could start with an apology. You wrote a book saying there was a connection Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

Hayes: You want to know why I wrote that book? Because there was a connection Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

Maher: No there wasn’t.

Robbins: You can lie a thousand times—it doesn’t make it true.

Everyone knows that this was more propaganda from Hayes, but it landed him a nice paycheck to write a Cheney book. The White House continually linked the two together so it made it easier for the public to accept the attack on Iraq. To the detriment of the world it worked. However, once the American people caught on to the lies of the Cheney/Bush administration—and their warmongering puppets—they turned.

Toni, I just finished watching the show for the second time. I was just surfing the first time and there were some dynamics going on so I actually decided to watch. Robbins and Martin and Maher were never on the same page but they took that jerk out either directly or in the end by just ignoring him. I am sure his guys will figure out some way to spin his collapse. He was pretty discredited.

Robbins held his own as a "hollywood" type. Martin was very interesting. I need to listen to her some more.

Reminded me of a very elaborate dramatic epic production of the very first "Take Back The Night", of which I was involved in.
Even though this was very much smaller. I have NEVER seen her sung and "performed".

The Fems - Go to a Party (1982)

The Fems were a legendary Buffalo hardcore band of the 1980-82 era, who still play reunion gigs in Buffalo every five years or so. They had a lot of different lineups. The version of "Go To A Party" that's available here was digitized from my cassette of the Fems' no-label self-released 1982 7" single. The single itself sells for about $400 on eBay on those rare occasions when it can be found there; only 500 copies were ever pressed, and the masters were lost.

Talk Radio Show!"

Community mobilizes to save Air America in 6th largest U.S. city

Guest Blogged by Miriam Raftery:
"KLSD is best described as Radio Free San Diego," international award-winning BBC journalist Greg Palast, author of ARMED MADHOUSE: From Baghdad to New Orleans --- Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild, told The BRAD BLOG. "Despite what the rest of America thinks, it's not just a town of navy guys looking for a way to get to Tijuana. A huge new progressive community has made KLSD one of Air America's strongest outlets - which makes a format change suspect. Local voices like Stacey Taylor and John Elliott are crucial to remaking the California political landscape. I guess that's why they want to silence their microphones."
What's needed is a 'buy-cott' to support Stacey's sponsors - and a promise to boycott those who would sponsor Air America's replacement," Palast told The BRAD BLOG.

After a caller suggested that KLSD supporters enlist help from advertisers to save the station’s progressive format, Taylor responded, “That’s a good idea,” then proceeded to read off names and phone number of KLSD advertisers on the air. He also pledged to post a list of advertisers on his webpage at the 1360KLSD.com website.
A coalition to save KLSD’s progressive talk radio format urges supporters to send letters and e-mails to KLSD program director Cliff Albert, calbert@clearchannel.com, as well as to Operations Manager Mary Ayala, mayala@clearchannel.com. In addition, the group advises that KLSD listeners contact advertisers to emphasize support and call in to local and national Air America programs to create a national dialogue.

“The information I received is that when a change comes, it will be fast,” Armacost advised. “There’s no time to wait—we must act now.”

Private property and the market

According to Abel, many of today’s problems can be traced back to the 19th century. He says that communal property, “which is the most important thing for indigenous people,” was fenced off before 1900. Many people who only spoke the Zapotec language didn’t find out about the laws setting up the new private property regime, and consequently, their lands were stolen from them. They were left with only a small patch of land or no land at all.

Abel explained that around 1930, many farmers began to grow coffee, and by the 40s and 50s they had stopped growing corn, beans, and chili—just coffee. There were two big plantations near Xanica: Alemania and San Pablo, both of which had company stores that kept the laborers permanently indebted.

Since then, jobs in the area have mainly depended on the international price of coffee. When the price went down from 1980 to 1990, a lot of plantations were abandoned, which was a heavy blow for people who didn’t have land of their own for growing coffee: they had nowhere to work. Some started growing corn, bean, and chili again. When prices rise, there’s a lot of work in the coffee picking season from November to January, but it’s badly paid. Maybe they’ll pay a farm worker 300 pesos (≈ $27 USD) to work 15 days cleaning the coffee field.

In other cases, they may pay as much as 80 pesos (≈ $7.20 USD) a day, from 7:00 in the morning until 5:00 or 6:00 in the afternoon, depending on the boss. It takes the farm workers two hours to walk to work and two hours to get home and then they have to carry wood. They don’t even have a burro (donkey); they carry it on their backs.

Since the Free Trade Agreement was signed, coffee prices have gone down even more. Now there’s hardly any work. Ever since the 1990s the emigration from Xanica has been heavy.

Rebellion in Xanica in the 50s

In keeping with the rebelliousness of the Zapotecos against the lords of Monte Albán, their battles under the command of José María Morelos and Vicente Guerrero, their resistance against the French, their enlistment in the ranks of Emiliano Zapata’s army, the town of Xanica rose up in the 1950s.

Abel tells us that “there were problems much like the ones we have now.” People came from Miahuatlán to sell clothing and bread, and they also set up big butcher shops. They wanted the people of Xanica to work for them, and they also wanted to establish their own local authorities. They refused to respect the community assembly, the council of elders, and the traditional practices and customs for choosing public servants.

The people of Xanica, unwilling to accept this domination, rose up in arms. The army soon came in and there were deaths on both sides. “Some of the local people went to jail because they killed a soldier. The army was in the area for three months looking for the rebels, who hid in the mountains. The army finally left and people either returned or kept on hiding out.”

Part One

THE creatures inhabiting the water, air, and earth were held in veneration by all races of antiquity. Realizing that visible bodies are only symbols of invisible forces, the ancients worshiped the Divine Power through the lower kingdoms of Nature, because those less evolved and more simply constituted creatures responded most readily to the creative impulses of the gods. The sages of old studied living things to a point of realization that God is most perfectly understood through a knowledge of His supreme handiwork--animate and inanimate Nature.

Every existing creature manifests some aspect of the intelligence or power of the Eternal One, who can never be known save through a study and appreciation of His numbered but inconceivable parts. When a creature is chosen, therefore, to symbolize to the concrete human mind some concealed abstract principle it is because its characteristics demonstrate this invisible principle in visible action. Fishes, insects, animals, reptiles, and birds appear in the religious symbolism of nearly all nations, because the forms and habits of these creatures and the media in which they exist closely relate them to the various generative and germinative powers of Nature, which were considered as prima-facie evidence of divine omnipresence.

THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF ALL AGES
by Manly P. Hall
1928

A man was in his front yard mowing grass, when his attractive blonde female neighbor, Judy, came out of her house and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it, then slammed it shut and stormed back into the house.

A little later she came out of her house again, went to the mail box, and again opened it and slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went.

As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, she came out again, marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever.

Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, "Is something wrong?"

To which she replied, "There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps saying, YOU'VE GOT MAIL."

In a letter to her spiritual director in a 1959-60 spiritual diary, Mother Teresa said, "In my soul, I feel just the terrible pain of loss, of God not wanting me, of God not being God, of God not really existing."

In another letter she wrote that she wanted to love God "like he has not been loved," and yet she felt her love was not reciprocated.

In the context of Mother Teresa's life, the thoughts are not heresy, but signs of holiness, Father Kolodiejchuk said in 2002. Mother Teresa was convinced God existed and had a plan for her life, even if she did not feel his presence, the priest said.

You're expecting too much progress in Iraq. It's only been a couple months.
by Joe Sudbay (DC) · 8/25/2007 02:52:00 PM ET

The problem we have here is that George Bush has lied to the American people about every single aspect of the Iraq war. Why should we start believing him now?
U.S. President George W. Bush, faced with growing calls to start withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq, pleaded with Americans on Saturday for patience and cited progress in the past two months.

"The success of the past couple of months have shown that conditions on the ground can change -- and they are changing," he said in his weekly radio address. "We cannot expect the new strategy we are carrying out to bring success overnight."
A couple of months? It's been four and a half years.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Bush is like Effie in Dreamgirls when she belts out the show stopper "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Bush is telling us he's not leaving Iraq. No matter what anyone tells Bush, he's going to see progress in Iraq -- and he's not going.

Rebranded: Not insurgents,
but 'concerned local nationals'
U.S. forces have rebranded one of the main insurgent groups in Iraq and now use the term "concerned local nationals" to refer to a group that once claimed responsibility for killing scores of Americans.

Huckabee: GOP has failed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presidential contender Mike Huckabee says his party took a beating in the 2006 election because too many of its candidates didn't act like Republicans.

New England fishermen

It looks like a clump of soiled sheep's wool, a cottony green or white mass that's turning up on rocks and river bottoms, snarling waterways. Already a scourge in New Zealand and parts of the American South and West, the aquatic algae called "rock snot" is creeping into New England, where it is turning up in pristine rivers and alarming fishermen and wildlife biologists.

Group: Bad credit threatening US economy By DAN SEYMOUR, AP Business Writer
Sat Aug 25, 12:16 AM ET

Bad credit has supplanted terrorism as the gravest immediate risk threatening the economy, a key national research group reported Monday.

Borrowers' withering ability to pay their bills and the subsequent fallout in the credit markets this summer topped the list of short-term risks on peoples' minds, according to a survey of 258 members conducted by the National Association of Business Economics.

NABE, a Washington-based association, said 32 percent of its surveyed members cited loan defaults and excessive debt as their biggest near-term concern.

Only 20 percent of members cited defense and terrorism as their biggest immediate worry, down from 35 percent when the survey was last conducted in March. Credit risk also topped gas prices, inflation and government spending.

"Financial market turmoil has shifted the focus away from terrorism and toward subprime and other credit problems as the most important near-term threats to the U.S. economy," said Carl Tannenbaum, president of NABE and the chief economist at LaSalle Bank/ABN-Amro.

The market turmoil began earlier this year, when mortgage lenders like New Century Financial Corp. and H&R Block Inc.'s Option One Mortgage Corp. unit reported their clients were missing payments on their home loans more frequently.

This led the Wall Street banks that finance the mortgage market to ultimately pull much of their money out. With cash draining rapidly from the industry, more than 50 lenders have gone bankrupt and a number of investment funds have gone under.

Victims of this flare-up include two of the 10 biggest mortgage lenders in the country and two hedge funds managed by Bear Stearns Cos.

Loan brokers say it has become more difficult for some people to line up mortgages. Subprime loans, or loans to people with spotty credit histories, have all but disappeared as lenders scale back or shut down completely.

USA Today August 10 2007

WASHINGTON — Newt Gingrich has seen the future of the Republican Party, and it is in France.

The former House speaker and leader of the Republicans' 1994 "Contract with America" has been hitting the talk show and Internet circuit with this message: Republicans will retain the White House in 2008 only if they copy conservative Nicolas Sarkozy's victory strategy in France — circumventing the traditional media, running as agents of bold change and cornering Democrats as protectors of the status quo.

Sarkozy, a one-time protege of then-French President Jacques Chirac, decisively won in May by advocating tougher law enforcement, tax cuts and work incentives in a country of 35-hour work weeks and summer-long vacations. Sarkozy portrayed Socialist Segolene Royal as a defender of a failed status quo, even though it was Chirac who had presided over a stagnating French economy and religious-tinged civil unrest.

On his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh claimed that Democrats “want to get us out of Iraq, but they can’t wait to get us into Darfur.” He continued: “There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur? It’s black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they’re in trouble.” A caller responded, “The black population,” to which Limbaugh said, “Right.”

Follow Your Instincts

by digby

Sometimes you have to see it to believe it:

LIMBAUGH: Here's [caller] in Lake Orion, Michigan. Thank you for calling. Great to have you on the EIB Network.

CALLER: Hey, Rush. It's great to talk to you. I talked to you once before. I've been listening to you for a couple of years now, and I think I'm getting brighter, but there's a lot to be learned. I know I'm no expert in foreign affairs, but what really confuses me about the liberals is the hypocrisy when they talk about how we have no reason to be in Iraq and helping those people, but yet everybody wants us to go to Darfur. I mean, aren't we going to end up in a quagmire there? I mean, isn't it -- I don't understand. Can you enlighten me on this?

LIMBAUGH: Yeah. This is -- you're not going to believe this, but it's very simple. And the sooner you believe it, and the sooner you let this truth permeate the boundaries you have that tell you this is just simply not possible, the better you will understand Democrats in everything. You are right. They want to get us out of Iraq, but they can't wait to get us into Darfur.

CALLER: Right.

LIMBAUGH: There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur?

CALLER: Uh, yeah.

LIMBAUGH: It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they're in trouble.

CALLER: Yes. Yes. The black population.

LIMBAUGH: Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela -- who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.

CALLER: It's just -- I can't believe it's really that simple.

[...]

LIMBAUGH: Right. That's exactly right. You've got it. You've got it. Now you just have to believe your own instincts from here on out.

News Roundup
by BooMan
Sun Aug 26th, 2007 at 12:22:41 AM EST

I just scanned the Sunday morning papers and there isn't a damn thing of much interest. The Sunday morning talk lineup features Sen. John Warner (R-VA) on Meet the Press and John and Elizabeth Edwards on Face the Nation. Those might be worth watching. Obama has announced a plan to fix New Orleans. The biggest news is, of course, that the DNC has stripped Florida of its delegates. If we don't get that fixed we'll severely undermine our chances of winning the state next November. Florida is like a curse.
But, if Florida is bad, Iraq is worse:

When Rep. Jan Schakowsky made her first trip to Iraq this month, the outspoken antiwar liberal resolved to keep her opinions to herself. "I would listen and learn," she decided.
At times that proved a challenge, as when Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih told her congressional delegation, "There's not going to be political reconciliation by this September; there's not going to be political reconciliation by next September." Schakowsky gulped -- wasn't that the whole idea of President Bush's troop increase, to buy time for that political progress?

But the real test came over a lunch with Gen. David H. Petraeus, who used charts and a laser pointer to show how security conditions were gradually improving -- evidence, he argued, that the troop increase is doing some good.

Still, the U.S. commander cautioned, it could take another decade before real stability is at hand. Schakowsky gasped. "I come from an environment where people talk nine to 10 months," she said, referring to the time frame for withdrawal that many Democrats are advocating. "And there he was, talking nine to 10 years."

Schakowsky emerged with more resolve to start bringing the troops home.

David Broder continues to pimp for a Bloomberg-Hagel ticket. If you didn't already know, Broder is suffering from the early onset of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Or something.

At least Broder isn't advocating imprecatory prayer.

Oh..and this Congress is getting more done than Newt Gingrich's 1995 Congress. Hard to believe, but true.

Apologies Now Being Accepted
August 22, 2003
By Mike McArdle

http://www.democraticunderground.com/articles/03/08/22_apologies.html

"Well, it looks like the wimpy, irrelevant UN Security Council was right, the cheese-eating surrender-monkey French were right, the British people (as opposed to their government) were right, and those hate-America peacenik anti-war demonstrators were right.

The Iraq war has degenerated into a complete disaster, an utterly unwinnable quagmire that threatens to become a treasury-emptying ten year guerilla war that will kill thousands, and - as an added bonus - become a enormously successful recruiting device for the Islamic fundamentalists who want to drive both America and Israel from the Middle East. So take a bow, Susan Sarandon and Janeane Garofalo - you called it. You were right on the money but unfortunately the powers that be didn't listen to you."

“Corporate Democrats”
I’m traveling today to my brother’s wedding, so posting is going to be light. One thing that caught my attention, however, was this quote from John Edwards:

“We cannot replace a group of corporate Republicans with a group of corporate Democrats, just swapping the Washington insiders of one party for the Washington insiders of the other.”

The use of the term “corporate Democrats” is something new from Edwards. It is a term that describes the problem with the Democratic Party these days - and perhaps his use of the term means this fissure in the Democratic Party will take center stage in the primaries during the stretch run.

Webb: Unlike Vietnam, Iraq War’s ‘Strategic Objective’ Was Unrelated To Reason For Invasion »
In comparing the Vietnam and Iraq wars in a speech last week to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, President Bush implicitly acknowledged that the present course in Iraq bares similarities to the quagmire of Vietnam. Yet the lesson he took from Vietnam was that the United States withdrew too soon, using it as justification for to stay the course in Iraq:

One unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America’s withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens, whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms, like boat people, reeducation camps and killing fields.

Today on ABC’s This Week, Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), a Vietnam veteran who supported the Vietnam war, said that Bush’s conclusion is inaccurate. According to Webb, in Vietnam, the “overall strategic objective” was directly related to the reason for going to war — i.e. ensuring “South Vietnam not fall to communism.” But the “implementation became flawed” and the United States needed to withdraw. On Iraq, he stated:

In Iraq, we’re having a reverse situation. We have an overall strategic objective that was not directly related to what we were attempting to do in the war against international terrorism. We have good people implementing a bad strategy. It’s just not the same situation. … We’re not going to have stability in that region until the American troops are out of Iraq.

Watch it:

Last week, several prominent scholars — including one quoted by Bush — denounced the President’s misuse of history. UCLA historian Robert Dallek, who has written about comparisons of Iraq to Vietnam, said Bush was “twisting history.” “What is Bush suggesting?” asked Dallek. “That we didn’t fight hard enough, stay long enough? That’s nonsense. It’s a distortion.”

Allawi paying lobbyists with funds from ‘an Iraqi person.’ In recent days, there has been some speculation in the blogosphere about where Iyad Allawi received the funds to pay for the lobbying services of Barbour Griffith & Rogers. This morning on CNN, Allawi said, “The support we got is from an Iraqi person. I cannot unfortunately divulge his name. ” He added that he did not know the exact figure of how much money he has received from this anonymous source. Spencer Ackerman suggests the source is Hazem Shaalan, a former Iraqi defense minister who walked away from the position in 2005 with perhaps as much as $1 billion.

ugly reality intrudes on the fantasy.

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one.

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

With this president Bush.... How Much clearer could this song be? But it wasnt written because of a, or the, or that particular man. Maybe LBJ... But seriously. It was a template made by the artist experiencing from the actions being participated in by those who were witnessed engaging in those actions of and by individuals or groups who demonstrated that nature that would be the nature of any one or many whom would or may participate in such acts.

Duh. But spoiled grown-up brats are still telling people which countries to invade and why we're bad people if we don't. Yeah, that's why the Pope is an ex Nazi youth, Catholics and condoms, and a Stupid slogan Slinger for a United State President who'd have tried to sell you an illegal failed War, Chinese made toothpaste and Hillside Property in Crandall Canyon, Utah, if someone hadnt busted those stories open before he'd gotten the chance. Oh, oops, forgot Iraq, America bought that one hook line and sinker. Well some of America did. Some of America knew better. Didnt drink and cocaine snort all their braincells away feeling sorry for themsleves because they were aging baby boomers, and end up trying to sell out their offsprings future, safty, and health just for the promise of maintaining their yuppy-scum lifestyles for just a little bit longer. Some of America sold itself out for slogans. And most of them now, cant figure out why the best person they can think to vote for on their Political Party's ticket, is "None of the Above".

But it's just a song, right?....
