Three and a half months ago, the walls upstairs at the Church of the Prophecy in Far Rockaway, a low-income coastal neighborhood of New York City, were covered with maps of where help was most needed. The church was a hub for the Occupy Sandy relief effort after Hurricane Sandy. Now, nearly five months after the hurricane struck, the maps have been replaced by posters extolling the virtues of collective struggle and art made by neighborhood children enrolled in Occupy Sandy’s twice-weekly after-school program.

What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You – Published on ZNet (first on TomDispatch), by Tom Engelhardt, March 29, 2013.
It’s true that, last week, few in Congress cared to discuss, no less memorialize, the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Nonetheless, two anniversaries of American disasters and crimes abroad — the “mission accomplished” debacle of 2003 and the 45th anniversary of the My Lai massacre — were at least noted in passing in our world. In my hometown paper, the New York Times, the Iraq anniversary was memorialized with a lead op-ed by a former advisor to General David Petraeus who, amid the rubble, went in search of all-American “silver linings” … // Read the rest of this entry »

Interview with Emily Gore published on Knight Blog, by Abbie Schutte, March 22, 2013.
Digital Public Library of America DPLA Director of Content Emily Gore has helped set an ambitious agenda for the DPLA launch in April – one that she says should “turn the people out there who are skeptics into believers.” The project’s mission, she explains, “really is to become the national digital library of the United States.” DPLA is making that happen not by building its own collection, but by bringing together the metadata from existing large institutions and state and regional aggregations around the country into one central portal … // Read the rest of this entry »

This week marks the tenth anniversary of the “Shock and Awe” US invasion of Iraq. The ravages of that invasion continue at home and in Iraq, the US is still at war in Afghanistan (troops and contractors remain in Iraq) and unofficially waging war on countries like Pakistan and Yemen, is aggravating aggression with North Korea as part of an Asian pivot encircling China, is putting more military into Africa and Obama is in Israel where he sings a duet for war with Netanyahu against Syria and Iran.

The residents of Jaywick in Essex, officially England’s most deprived place, are eager to escape the benefits system but trapped by growing unemployment – Published on The Guardian, by Amelia Gentleman, March 20, 2013.
“What Can God Do 4 Jaywick?” a sign asks outside the Methodist church in this Essex seaside resort – a reminder that, for some time now, residents here have been looking in all directions for help. Even a local Citizens Advice worker says, with only a note of flippancy, that it would take a miracle to resolve the problems of the village, which since 2011 has held the unwelcome title of most deprived place in England.

… This is at least partially because political elites have for close to a century carefully crafted and presided over a political universe of smoke and mirrors for their subjects; one where citizens think and act as if they have political choices and agency, thereby perpetuating the myth of democratic participation and enfranchisement. Thinking along these lines is apparent in the almost century-old writings of the well-known American political commentator Walter Lippmann. Read the rest of this entry »

Hugo Chavez won 15, the last on October 7, 2012. He defeated his rivals with a margin of 10-20 percentage points. Read the rest of this entry »
