Traitor to My Race: The Abolition of White Privilege -- a Series in Three Parts (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Jack Carney)
This series is comprised of three articles which trace the origins of white supremacy and white privilege, their evolution since the American Revolution, and the lifelong personal transformation of the author into an opponent of white supremacy and privilege and an advocate for their abolition. The latter is advanced throughout the series as a fraught proposition since abolition involves the disavowal by white Americans of a belief in white supremacy key to their self-identity. Rejection of white supremacy and privilege and acceptance of the harm they've done to white as well as black Americans will entail a requisite commitment by white Americans to engage in a course of self-education similar to that outlined by the author. Only then might white Americans recognize that abolition, however costly, will be equally beneficial to both. The series concludes with exhortations by Martin Luther King and Joe Hill to adherents of abolition to take action and organize. References pertinent to all three articles are to be found appended to the last.

The West Is Manufacturing Fifth Wave of Terrorism (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Hassan Horri)
In honor to the victims of the terror, that   originated at the offices of Charlie Hebdo and wrecked with 17 dead, Paris   hosted the biggest rally in French history, led by dozens of world leaders   walking arm-in-arm.             On Sunday, January 11, about 3.7 million   people took to the streets nationwide, alongside the representatives of around   50 countries. In fact the WEST responded with revulsion to the lethal assault   on the satirical journal. So did any levelheaded human beings.             The new 'freedom of expression,'   with a leading storyline from the horrific massacre at the magazine   offices is translated as an attack at the very foundation of freedom. The West seeing   their own values personified in the 'free speech' endorsed the culture of   Charlie Hebdo's disrespect, sadist and spoof to fight Islamic radicalism.             In all the official statements made in Paris,   Washington, London, Rome, Melbourne, Brussels  and Bonn the attack on the Charlie Hebdo is   subjugated as a challenge to the 'freedom of the press' and the unalienable   right of media in a civilized society.       It looks that the new tendency, (chants, hypocrisy, free   speech, anti Islam and double standard policies) of the West paves the way for the   manufacturing of the fifth wave of terrorism which is born, grown and educated   in the western homes.       According to Professor David Rapoport there are four known waves   in the modern history of terrorism, namely, the anarchists (1880s), anti-colonials (1920s), the left (red)   wave (1960s) and finally, the religious wave of late (1970s).

Violence and Strike in Syria: The Future Strategy (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Muhammad Irfan)
In   fact, this turbulence-centered issue precipitates to three fundamental aspects,   likely to be profoundly investigated with their future ramifications. These   aspects of the study include domestic, regional and international:      Domestically,   the locals support is considered as the most important component of the   military strategy, aimed at toppling ISIS. It is projected that IS combative   capability is worth mentioning. That is why US forces are required to cope with   them with acute plans and iron fist. Thus, given the IS capability, the local   tribes and peoples support is important. According to a source, 'The   nationalistic Opposition should be supported.'[i]      Regionally,   the efforts are required to be realistically made for amassing the augmented   strength before landing on the battlefield in a quest to confront with the   adversary. This goal can promptly be pulled off when alliances are revitalized   with the Arab friends. According to Fredric, 'Sunni Arab world's sustained   involvement in war is important.'[ii] That   is how The Sunni Friends can prove productive in the said struggle.      However,   there might be two restraints, which can fetter the outcome of this plan. First,   this restraint includes the Arabs security concerns and reservation regarding   the past US apathy. Nonetheless, this can be removed by ensuring them security   assurance. According to a research fellow, 'The only way we can build up our   alliances is by providing security to our friends.'[iii]      Second,   Iran's role is another restraint that USA, the leading actor in fight against   ISIS, has to face. This fight unveils the importance of Iran. Excluding Tehran,   the fight might expand towards other frontiers with the challenging powers   having auspicious access to the conflict prone zone. However, in this pursuit,   the Arab's reservations cannot be pacified. That is why an effort, aimed at   unity with Arabs, ultimately would remain futile.      Internationally,   the competition with the challenging powers cannot be ignored in the matter of   the fight against ISIS.  According to   Pepe, 'How does full spectrum dominance apply when two actual competitors,   Russia and China begin to make their presence felt?'[iv]      Particularly,   Russia has reservations upon what secretive plans the US establishment pursues   in Syria. Therefore, the keen diplomatic interaction is relevant to forgo any   collision against Moscow in these critical moments. It depends on how   Washington interacts with Moscow specifically when the former is locked into   indirect conflicts with the latter. Accordingly, the US military strategy   against ISIS in both strategic as well as tactical levels would be succeeded.      In   wake of the said military actions, the displaced and effected populace needs many   sympathies. Their troubles can be estimated only by suffers. However, the   architects of the preventive strategy should think on basis that these effect-tees   should be cooperated and given financial support to let them settle in their respective   areas after the ISIS is tackled so that they might not join the ranks of global   jihadists and the peace and stability may forever be restored.              [i]   Nicolas   Burns, Arab Allies Key in Fight against ISIS, The Atlantic Council, September 25, 2014.                  [ii] Fredric C.

Foray into US Culture: Recycling ... and Marketing Recycling (p2) (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Susan Galleymore)
NO BRUSHOFFI am   wandering the aisles in Trader Joe's seeking hummus and figs and   European Bread and Greek yogurt...when I remember my sore gums and head   for the small shelf selling 'personal products'.    Now, clearly, someone as sensitive to messaging as I am must apply   some sort of scale to judge Promo-speak for the moments I fall prey to   the cultural imperative to shop 'til I drop. My scale ranges from   soft-core=benign but present, to hard-core= subterfuge, outright   lying, distortion of facts. Happily, I find TJ's toothbrush Promo-speak is soft-core...probably because TJ's carries only one line of toothbrush - and that line promotes recycling. This means it comes with a    built-in pious-o-meter: I recycle therefore I am (good, brave, trendy,   forward thinking, beautiful, smart, liberal, _________ [fill in the   blank]).Moreover, not only is there no toothbrush brand   competition, TJ's line is politically correct, environmentally friendly,    and  ...Made with love &RECYCLEDyogurt cupsWhile    it sells for close to $3 - more than double my ideal toothbrush   'spend', and given the givens (my lack of enthusiasm for shopping; that I    am already shopping; the symmetry of purchasing yogurt in a yogurt cup and a toothbrush made from recycled yogurt cups, not to mention a 'dentist designed grip' ) - I purchase one.It    is green - as shown on the packaging, above, and the promo goes like   this (from the front -image on the left - to the back - image on the   right):  [front] 100% RECYCLED HANDLEMADE IN USAFIVE GREAT COLORSgimme5 [logo] makes itrewardingto recycle [back] Smile BrightlyTiered bristles and dentist designed grip for cleaner teeth.Mail Back Pack makes recycling easy.gimme5 is our recycling communityWe turn your used #5 plastic productsand packing into new products.Recycle two just like this: [illustration of two spooning toothbrushes] [How to recycle your toothbrush] 1.

[ editorial comment:    See, this is why marketing is fun...the folks thinking up this gimmick    had a good laugh at the Launch a Bottleship pun-of-sorts, and fun in   the workplace keeps workers content and coming back for more. Does the   top recycler gets a Bottleship named after her/himself? S/he should.] Nit pickin' Nit pick 1:    Packaging  explains that 'gimme5 is our recycling community' and urges   the new user to 'Enter your rewards code at mygimme5.com'. Linking to   gimme5.com, however, lands the user on a site that is not   gimme5.com. Rather, gimme5.com calls up a bland page that suggests a   domain name squatter owns 'gimme5.com' (and may be experimenting with   'recycling' of her/his own: recycling dollars from gimme5.com's pocket   into the pocket of the farsighted person who registered the domain name   first and will happily squat on it for as long it it takes). Nit pick 2:    The route to gimme5.com's website is circuitous. 1) the user keys in   'mygimme5.com' but lands on Preserve's gimme5 program: 'good deeds yield    many great returns'. Nit pick 3: gimme5.com displays the de rigeur happy, wholesome, and healthy blond all-'merikan gal wearing a t-shirt and recycling logo. Nit pick 4:    Clicking on any link on the mygimme5.com page lands the user onto    preserveproducts.com: 'Nothing wasted. Everything gained.' Yet Preserve   products does not recycle.   Nit pick 5: In order to fulfill the promise inherent in my toothbrush I must:1) join mygimme5.com - or at least enter my rewards code, share my contact info, and be open to receiving more promo material2) hold onto my toothbrush packaging so that I can mail in this toothbrush and the next one ('Recycle two just like this')3: not only hold on to 2 toothbrushes to mail but, if I want to reap the reward of launching a Bottleship I must hold on to 6 more used toothbrushes and a plastic bottle to mail. Oh, the tangled (world wide) web we weave....Despite    my Nit pickin', I do appreciate that happy, wholesome, healthy, and   blond all-'merikan youth still have the entrepreneurial spirit...and   that this business model builds in the ability to hold-your-head-up-high    (by buying and recycling as opposed to the   hang-your-head-in-shame-if-you-understand-the-business-model of   traditional corporations like Chevron, etc). Recycling businesses allow   entrepreneurs to generate profit from scratching at small corners of the    overwhelming pile of plastic trash drowning our planet.Good on ya, kids.
