Why Did Israel Execute Shireen Abu-Akleh? - Steve Salaita

Bertrand Russell got it.
My first vote for POTUS was Dwight Eisenhower and it's been all Repubs for POTUS since.
WilliamCharles comments on Mar 30, 2019:
It should be noted that Ike had a tax rate that helped build the nation's infrastructure and it was a time of a strong middle class. Reagan helped gut that and his policies began the destruction of the middle class. Ironically, Reagan and Nixon would be considered too liberal for many of today's conservative hardliners.

WilliamCharles comments on May 10, 2021:
"As the Arabs see the Jews" His Majesty King Abdullah, The American Magazine November, 1947 Summary This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein’s grandfather King Abdullah, appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. In the article, King Abdullah disputes the mistaken view that Arab opposition to Zionism (and later the state of Israel) is because of longstanding religious or ethnic hatred. He notes that Jews and Muslims enjoyed a long history of peaceful coexistence in the Middle East, and that Jews have historically suffered far more at the hands of Christian Europe. Pointing to the tragedy of the holocaust that Jews suffered during World War II, the monarch asks why America and Europe are refusing to accept more than a token handful of Jewish immigrants and refugees. It is unfair, he argues, to make Palestine, which is innocent of anti-Semitism, pay for the crimes of Europe. King Abdullah also asks how Jews can claim a historic right to Palestine, when Arabs have been the overwhelming majority there for nearly 1300 uninterrupted years? The essay ends on an ominous note, warning of dire consequences if a peaceful solution cannot be found to protect the rights of the indigenous Arabs of Palestine. http://www.kinghussein.gov.jo/kabd_eng.html

WilliamCharles comments on Sep 11, 2022:
9/11 is the litmus test. So many of the things that reverberate to today are based on the unwillingness to demand full, open and transparent investigations of the attack, the crime scene forensics, and the apparent response failures. Anyone not in lockstep with the coming “payback” was a traitor, and anyone questioning the official narrative was a nutter. That the people so readily dismissing the skeptics, did not heed to call themselves to demand what the commission itself determined; that a proper investigation was needed to uncover the truth. Remember, the alternate explanation to deride conspiracy, was the supposedly comforting notion that incompetence, an unrelated type of criminality (the destruction of evidence), the desire to cover your butt, and a string of bad luck and/or remarkable coincidence, explained the seeming contradictions and that the right enemy had been targeted anyway, so no time to navel gaze as we needed to get our bloodbath up and running. This is my recollection as to what I saw and what we lost. I live in So Cal and commute to downtown LA, and have for over 20+ years. For *exactly* a day and a half (the same amount of time the air stays smog free after a good rain), the normally selfish and inattentive motorists drove in manner virtually unseen before or since. Over that two day period, they actually showed noticeable consideration and no longer drove oblivious to those around them, not caring who they cut off or didn’t let in or honked at for going too slow, or not getting out of the way fast enough… they treated the other drivers as fellow Americans that were also possibly traumatized or numb and that the default position might be that they would appreciate a random act of kindness from a stranger who might just cut another person a break for no other reason than they thought the anonymous person could use one. And then, as if it never happened in the first place, it was over. That was how long it took to revert back to type, and embrace dysfunction as normalcy. And that’s how we got to where we are today. There are some things in life that we can’t turn back the clock on, but tragically that is true even on those things we could turn back the clock on. We’re just not that smart or that caring, and I don’t think it’s overly pessimistic to say that we never will be.
Wage peace.

The regressive left is just as bad as the religious right.
WilliamCharles comments on Mar 21, 2019:
I have a problem with punching down. There's no reason to marginalize people within groups for the acts of those merely sharing similar demographics. For instance, I can acknowledge the crimes of white people without necessarily being responsible for them. :------: People are =/= to their religion I am most definitely an infidel in that I have no belief in any god or gods. A person’s individual godview is the most basic right possible that a human being can have. I personally reject Islam, Judaism, and Christianity (among others)… but do not reject Muslims, Jews, and Christians. A person’s religion and religious culture are most predictably based on their family of origin, where they were born (geography), and when they were born (i.e., no Xians pre-Christ). I stand with all people on the planet willing to work together as a species to live peacefully with each other and our environment. That does not change regardless of the actions of some who think their ‘godview’ justifies any number of horrible acts. I reject those who use such acts to demonize people who are damned for nothing more than ‘guilt by association.’ ~ LanceThruster

Canada Passes Law That Bans The Captivity Of Whales And Dolphins By Mayukh Saha ...
WilliamCharles comments on Dec 9, 2018:
"Despite the global ban of commercial whaling, Japan uses the provision in the 1946 whaling convention which allows whales to be killed for scientific purposes. The ‘scientific whaling’ provision has also been used by Norway and Iceland as a way of getting around the rules. However little, if any useful information comes from ‘scientific whaling’ and it is quite simply commercial whaling conducted under the guise of science." https://www.ifaw.org/united-states/our-work/whales/truth-about-‘scientific’-whaling

WilliamCharles comments on Mar 20, 2019:
Props! Something to keep in mind. :------------------------------------------: "Still, in the universities or in any other institution, you can often find some dissidents hanging around in the woodwork—and they can survive in one fashion or another, particularly if they get community support. But if they become too disruptive or too obstreperous—or you know, too effective—they’re likely to be kicked out. The standard thing, though, is that they won’t make it within the institutions in the first place, particularly if they were that way when they were young—they’ll simply be weeded out somewhere along the line. So in most cases, the people who make it through the institutions and are able to remain in them have already internalized the right kinds of beliefs: it’s not a problem for them to be obedient, they already are obedient, that’s how they got there. And that’s pretty much how the ideological control system perpetuates itself in the schools—that’s the basic story of how it operates, I think." https://chomsky.info/power01/

America's Dental Health Crisis: Modern Life Causes More Tooth Decay, and Care Is Increasingly ...
WilliamCharles comments on Jun 18, 2019:
Around the time of the ACA being debated, there was an excellent essay by a dentist talking about how essential it was for dental care to be included. He wrote of how preventive care particularly, saved considerable money in treatment considering how expensive treating issues late becomes. It is also a quality of life issue. And people tend to put off what they can't afford. I know even when I was insured, the portion out of pocket and the yearly maximums often made timely treatment burdensome.

WilliamCharles comments on Nov 21, 2018:
I don't think there's any reason to get belligerent about it and turn the gathering into a pissing contest, but I also feel that silence equals assent. Even in discussions of divisive topics online, I tell people that I consider it a sign of respect to speak openly and honestly about issues. The purpose is not to flip people per se, but to offer a rationale for holding the views you do. You never know who might be sitting on the fence and too timid themselves to weigh in for fear of dealing with the backlash.

MoA - Whodunnit? - Facts Related to The Sabotage Attack On The Nord Stream Pipelines
WilliamCharles comments on Sep 29, 2022:
"Accusations of Russian involvement in the bombings lack all credibility and detract from the far more likely perpetrator: the United States. The first question that has to be asked about the Nord Stream bombing is: Cui bono? Who benefits, and who had the motive to carry it out? Russia had no motive to destroy the Nord Stream pipeline. Russia’s Gazprom conglomerate owned half of the pipeline, alongside German, French and Dutch shareholders, and the pipeline was at the heart of Moscow’s plans to rebuild economic ties with Europe, if and when the war with NATO in Ukraine ended. It had no reason to blow up its own pipeline. For Washington, the bombing presented two benefits. Firstly, coming amid the NATO military escalation against Russia in Ukraine, it would help fuel more anti-Russian war propaganda. Secondly, by making Europe more dependent on US natural gas imports to replace Russian gas, it corresponded to a major US aim in the Ukraine war from the outset: to bring Europe more firmly under US control. These aims have increasingly come into the open in recent years." https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/09/29/hlqr-s29.html?fbclid=IwAR0H4YD6rPTctJVCNjHKUHFBZ5DSJlj4-koCNdVeL4RJKRBQ1zyAvyPwjtg

In June 2011, Obama administration implied to Iceland’s authorities they had knowledge of hackers wanting to destroy software systems in the country, and offered help, then-Interior Minister Ogmundur Jonasson, said in an interview with the Katoikos publication. However, Jonasson said he instantly became “suspicious” of the US good intentions, “well aware that a helping hand might easily become a manipulating hand.” Later in the summer 2011, the US “sent a planeload of FBI agents to Iceland seeking our cooperation in what I understood as an operation set up to frame Julian Assange and WikiLeaks,” Jonasson said." http://www.eutimes.net/2016/12/fbi-sent-agents-to-frame-assange-in-iceland-got-snubbed-by-minister/

I actually was quite astonished that two of the most adventurous and playful lovers I ever had the pleasure to become intimate with both said the same thing to me. "I liked our lovemaking because you *made* me do things." While this may sound troubling on its surface, it wasn't like that at all. It was a case of two lovers wanting to please the other and were alert to the cues of what was giving each the most pleasure. It reminded me of a comic who was describing what good lovemaking becomes. He said that if you've ever seen two tigers mating, there's all that raw power just barely held in check, as they wend their way through the dance as it were.

I'm moving this to Silly, Random Fun as there were a couple of upvotes to the comment that said it didn't belong here. My apologies to all. I'll leave it up just a little longer to hopefully avoid any confusion.
MAH.

"The Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes made a personal, riveting case for breaking up Facebook in a new essay published in The New York Times today. His argument hinges on the idea that Mark Zuckerberg is a “good, kind person” but one whose “power is unprecedented and un-American” and whose “influence is staggering, far beyond that of anyone else in the private sector or in government.”" https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/05/how-powerful-mark-zuckerberg/589129/?utm_source=facebook=edit-promo=social=2019-05-09T21%3A04%3A42=the-atlantic=IwAR0PjhQxKddEIKFnHkgV0sVaBD1hTT0exGI1PutCpv51hUSULRMzYKTvSug

Exploitation and Expropriation, or Why Capitalism Must be Attacked with Equal Force on Every Front
WilliamCharles comments on Dec 30, 2018:
Or let someone else do the heavy lifting... or just fiddle your way through our death spiral. Your call. I don't have any kids so technically I've got no skin in the game. But I care about everyone else's kids, and the rest of the life on the planet. As has been noted, you can choose to look away, but you can no longer say you did not know.
I'm not a player, but have always enjoyed a good time. xD [m.youtube.com]

The Indictment of Julian Assange Is a Threat to Press Freedom | The Nation

From: https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/04/12/how-you-can-be-certain-that-the-us-charge-against-assange-is-fraudulent/?fbclid=IwAR2RRckRHcNVaBYU7-etzFNxy1fzsWW74HmWYW4iVDa-egu-1EupZRWd0Oc "There’s a huge myth being misreported about today’s indictment of Assange,” journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted today. “The claim that Assange tried to help Manning circumvent a password to cover her tracks isn’t new. The Obama DOJ knew about it since 2011, but chose not to prosecute him. Story on this soon.” “Holder chose not to prosecute Assange based on the same info Trump DOJ cited,” Greenwald added. “The weakness of the US charge against Assange is shocking,” tweeted NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. “The allegation he tried (and failed?) to help crack a password during their world-famous reporting has been public for nearly a decade: it is the count Obama’s DOJ refused to charge, saying it endangered journalism.”"
