05.Nov.2008 [...] Das Wort von der "Sozialen Ungleichheit" ist im Amerika dieser Tage eine unerhörte Untertreibung. Fast 50 Millionen Menschen besitzen keine Krankenversicherung. Rund 30 Millionen benötigen Unterstützung durch Lebensmittelkarten, die der Staat ausgibt.
05.Nov.2008 [...] Aber keiner von ihnen traf den Obama-Ton, den Ton dieser Zeit.
05.Nov.2008 [...] "Mein Präsident", nannte ihn selbst der unterlegene Kandidat der Konservativen, John McCain. Es war der starke Abgang eines schwachen Kandidaten.

04.Nov.2008 [...] Der Buchautor und anerkannte Opus-Dei-Experte Peter Hertel hat festgestellt, dass die Rhein-Donau-Stiftung vor allem für solche Projekte Bundesmittel beantragte, die den Einfluss des Geheimbundes in für ihn wichtigen Erdregionen voranbringen: "Im Unterschied zu kirchlichen Hilfswerken wie Misereor oder Adveniat, die Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe zu geben versuchen", sei Opus Dei, urteilt der Theologe, deutlich aggressiver: "Es unterwirft die Beteiligten, sie haben in seinem Sinne zu funktionieren und werden von oben religiös-politisch einseitig indoktriniert." Der Einfluss des Geheimbundes hätte dem Ministerium bei den Projekten in Argentinien, Peru, Uruguay, Nigeria oder dem Kongo durchaus auffallen können, findet er. Hertel kritisiert: "Hier werden Steuergelder in ein schwer überprüfbares internationales System von Vereinigungen und Stiftungen gegeben."
04.Nov.2008 Hydrogen tank lighter than battery
Dutch-sponsored researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is excellent at absorbing hydrogen. This light alloy brings us a step closer to the everyday use of hydrogen as a source of fuel for powering vehicles. A hydrogen 'tank' using this alloy would have a relative weight that is sixty % less than a battery pack. In order to find the best alloy Gremaud developed a method which enabled simultaneous testing of thousands of samples of different metals for their capacity to absorb hydrogen. The British company Ilika in Southampton has shown considerable interest.

Spiegel Online no longer uses Google Analytics. 'We want to ensure that data on our users' browsing patterns don't leave our site,' says Wolfgang Büchner, one of Spiegel Online's two chief editors." The article covers a wide swath of German concern over Google's data-collecting and -handling policies, including a local rebellion against Google's Street View survey vehicles that threatens to go national.
04.Nov.2008 New Type of Particle May Have Been Found – kdawson An anonymous reader writes "The LHC is out of commission, but the Tevatron collider at Fermilab is still chugging along, and may have just discovered a new type of particle that would signal new physics. New Scientist reports that the Tevatron's CDF detector has found muons that seem to have been created outside of the beam pipe that confines the protons and anti-protons being smashed together. The standard model can't explain the muons, and some speculate that 'an unknown particle with a lifetime of about 20 picoseconds was produced in the collision, traveled about 1 centimeter, through the side of the beam pipe, and then decayed into muons.' The hypothetical particle even seems to have the right mass to account for one theory of dark matter."

04.Nov.2008 https://www.jungewelt.de/2008/11-04/063.php?print=1 Denn nicht die Präsidentschaftswahl, erst eine Mordanklage gegen Bush und die anderen Architekten des Irak-Krieges wird den von vielen erhofften »Wandel« einläuten, in den USA und für die ganze Welt.
04.Nov.2008 [...] Bugliosi gilt als Legende der Strafverfolgung. Er hat jeden Mordprozeß seiner Karriere gewonnen und ist auch zuversichtlich, gegen Bush die Todesstrafe oder lebenslänglich zu erwirken. Der Texaner habe den Krieg unter Vorspiegelung falscher Tatsachen begonnen, er habe behauptet, im Irak gebe es Massenvernichtungswaffen und es gebe eine Verbindung zwischen Saddam Hussein und der Terrororganisation Al-Qaida. Wenn schon gegen einen Präsidenten wie William Clinton mit Millionenaufwand ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren angestrengt worden sei, weil er eine Sexaffäre vertuschen wollte, »was tun wir dann, wenn ein Präsident sein Land auf der Basis einer Lüge in den Krieg treibt«?

Das Volumen der Finanzanlagen wuchs weit rascher als Produktion und Welthandel; statt Kapital dorthin zu lenken, wo Investitionsbedarf bestand, floß immer mehr Kapital »bergauf«, Überschüsse aufstrebender Entwicklungsländer finanzierten den öffentlichen (Rüstung) und privaten Konsum der USA.

"Ministers have been forced to order an emergency shutdown of a key Government computer system to protect millions of people's private details. The action was taken after a memory stick was found in a pub car park containing confidential passcodes to the online Government Gateway system, which covers everything from tax returns to parking tickets. An urgent investigation is now under way into how the stick, belonging to the company which runs the flagship system, came to be lost."
03.Nov.2008 1/3 of Amphibians Dying Out - kdawson 365 Comments Death Metal sends in a Scientific American article reporting that 2,000 of 6,000 amphibian species are endangered worldwide. A combination of environmental assaults, including global warming, seems to be responsible. "... national parks and other areas protected from pollution and development are providing no refuge. The frogs and salamanders of Yellowstone National Park have been declining since the 1980s, according to a Stanford University study, as global warming dries out seasonal ponds, leaving dried salamander corpses in their wake. Since the 1970s, nearly 75 % of the frogs and other amphibians of La Selva Biological Station in Braulio Carrillo National Park in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica have died, perhaps due to global warming. But the really bad news is that amphibians may be just the first sign of other species in trouble. Biologists at the University of California, San Diego, have shown that amphibians are the first to respond to environmental changes, thanks to their sensitivity to both air and water. What goes for amphibians may soon be true of other classes of animal, including mammals." 03.Nov.2008 Major Advances In Knot Theory - kdawson 76+ Comments An anonymous reader sends us to Science News, which is running a survey of recent strides in finding an answer to the age-old question: How many ways are there to tie your shoelaces? "Mathematicians have been puzzling over that question for a century or two, and the main thing they've discovered is that the question is really, really hard. In the last decade, though, they've developed some powerful new tools inspired by physics that have pried a few answers from the universe's clutches. Even more exciting is that the new tools seem to be the tip of a much larger theory that mathematicians are just beginning to uncover. That larger mathematical theory, if it exists, may help crack some of the hardest mathematical questions there are, questions about the mathematical structure of the three- and four-dimensional space where we live. ... Revealing the full... superstructure may be the work of a generation."
03.Nov.2008 Hires Saddam-Al Qaeda ‘Connection’ Fabricator And Cheney Hagiographer - M. Duss Comments TimeWarner announced today that “frequent guest, Stephen F. Hayes, has made it official by signing on with the network as a political contributor”: Currently a senior writer at The Weekly Standard, Hayes will appear on the full line-up of programming as part of the network’s ideologically diverse group of analysts and contributors. Hayes has a long history of reporting on the political world. […] “Steve is a well-respected and knowledgeable journalist who already has become a natural part of ’s political coverage,” said Sam Feist, ’s political director. “As part of the ‘Best Political Team on Television,’ Steve will help in its commitment to go beyond political spin and present viewers with the most in-depth and bipartisan insights.” Over the past eight years, Hayes has done little more than spin for the Bush administration’s “war on terror.” Hayes was one of the foremost peddlers of the false claim that Saddam Hussein was in league with Al Qaeda, something that even Doug Feith, one of Hayes’ supposed sources, later disavowed. Spencer Ackerman wrote that Hayes “has made a career out of pretending Saddam and Al Qaeda were in league to attack the United States”: He published a book — tellingly wafer-thin and with large type in its hardcover edition — called “The Connection.” One infamous piece even suggested that Saddam might have aided the 9/11 attack. Hayes can be relied on to provide a farrago of speciousness every time new information emerges refuting his deceptive thesis. Unsurprisingly, [Dick] Cheney has repeatedly praised Hayes’s work, telling Fox News, “I think Steve Hayes has done an effective job in his article of laying out a lot of those connections. “ Hayes later returned the favor, penning a worshipful biography of Cheney that Michael Emerson called “a wet kiss…filled with glowing praise from cover to cover.”

03.Nov.2008 [...] In Deutschland drosselten die Firmen ihre Produktion so stark wie nie zuvor in der zwölfeinhalbjährigen Geschichte der Umfrage. Eine Erholung ist laut Experten nicht absehbar. Das Barometer für die Euro-Zone fiel um knapp vier auf 41,1 Punkte und markierte damit den tiefsten Stand seit Umfragebeginn im Juni 1997. Der Markit/BME-Einkaufsmanagerindex für Deutschland lag mit 42,9 Zählern ebenfalls in einem beunruhigenden Bereich. Alles unter der Schwelle von 50 Zählern, ab der ein Wachstum angezeigt wird, gilt als negativ. "Die Industrieunternehmen bewerten die aktuelle Lage als grottenschlecht", sagte Postbank-Experte Heinrich Bayer. "Bei diesen Umfragewerten ist an eine konjunkturelle Erholung vorläufig nicht zu denken."
03.Nov.2008 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-587872,00.html SPIEGEL: Die Kapitalismuskritik ist jedenfalls im Aufwind. Der katholische Erzbischof von München, Reinhard Marx, sagte im SPIEGEL, wir stünden alle auf den Schultern von Karl Marx. Enzensberger: Das ist doch grandios. Das "Kapital" war immer ein tolles Buch. Stark in der Analyse, schwach in der Prophezeiung. Und im Kalten Krieg hätte ein solcher Satz von einem Bischof noch einen Skandal ausgelöst. Heute dagegen kann der Kapitalismus damit sehr gut leben. Die Kritik ist es doch, was ihn am Leben hält. Hätte es die nicht gegeben, wäre er schon längst an die Wand gefahren.
03.Nov.2008 [...] SPIEGEL: Wundert es Sie, wie hart, schnell und tief diese Krise einschlägt? Enzensberger: Was mich eher wundert, ist, dass die Leute von dieser Krise überrascht oder geschockt sind. Merkwürdig ist dieser phantastische Gedächtnisverlust! Wer auch nur ein bisschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte kennt - eine Prise Marxismus kann auch nicht schaden -, der weiß, was seit mindestens 200 Jahren Geschäftsgrundlage ist. John Law hat 1720 mit seiner Mississippi Company Aktien ausgeteilt und eine riesige Kreditblase ausgelöst, mit allem, was dazugehört: Immobilienspekulation, Konsumrausch, Schuldenmacherei. Frankreich ist damals knapp am Staatsbankrott vorbeigeschrammt. Und so ging es durch die Jahrhunderte munter weiter. Da könnte ich eine ganze Liste vorlesen. Skandinavien, Mexiko, Asien, Argentinien, Japan - alles schon vergessen?

Entscheidend ist vielmehr, wie sie determiniert oder – ganz allgemein – bestimmt ist: Wird sie durch den Handelnden selbst bestimmt, dann ist sie eben selbstbestimmt und damit frei. Wird sie dagegen von äußeren Faktoren bestimmt, dann ist sie fremdbestimmt und damit unfrei.

“Google Health” is a databank where patients can store their medical records and retrieve them over the Internet. This service could radically change the nature of the health system - and it could change Google itself as well. When the topic turns to health, most users are likely to sit up and take notice. They start asking what happens with their data.
02.Nov.2008 [...] The company does tend to take action only when directly criticized.
02.Nov.2008 [...] "Their users are basically standing naked in front of them, and Google itself discloses only what is absolutely necessary about its data handling strategy, and then only under pressure."
02.Nov.2008 [...] Thilo Weichert, head of Schleswig-Holstein’s Independent State Agency for Data Protection, based in Kiel, can relate experiences to the contrary. His experts test each new offer from Google and regularly diagnose aspects that conflict with Germany’s data protection laws. Google’s German headquarters tends to react negatively to Weichert’s name. He doesn’t give them an easy time: The data protection specialist from northern Germany has already issued a public warning on the Analytics program. "Most users of the product aren't entirely aware that by operating Google Analytics they're utilizing a service that transfers data to the United States, to be broadly used and exploited," he has written. "This violates the data privacy laws protecting those who use the Web sites." Google reacted with a letter to the governor of Schleswig-Holstein, warning of economic losses and demanding that Weichert be called off his attack.
02.Nov.2008 [...] But what happens to the client information sent over to the United States? How is it organized? How long is it stored? Who's allowed to see the data - and how can it be deleted?
02.Nov.2008 [...] SPIEGEL ONLINE no longer uses Google Analytics. "We want to ensure that data on our users’ browsing patterns don't leave our site," says Wolfgang Büchner, one of SPIEGEL ONLINE's two chief editors.
02.Nov.2008 [...] "Analytics is Google's most dangerous opportunity to spy," says Reischl. According to some estimates the software is integrated into 80 % of frequently visited German-language Internet sites.
02.Nov.2008 [...] For Gerald Reischl, author of a book in German called "The Google Trap," such assurances aren't enough. The corporation's "machinations, hunger for power and dominance need to be scrutinized," says Reischl. Even those few Internet users who don’t regularly access Google sites end up with their data accessible to the company anyway, thanks to a program called "Google Analytics."
02.Nov.2008 [...] the inertia of the legal system.
02.Nov.2008 [...] Paris, the Avenue de l'Opéra. Nothing at the building's entrance indicates a connection to Google. The world's most effective data collector depends on discretion. Peter Fleischer is a wiry forty-something in a T-shirt, also known as Google's "Global Privacy Counsel."
02.Nov.2008 [...] Well, compared to what Google knows about us, many intelligence agencies look "like child protection services," says Hendrik Speck, professor at the applied sciences university in Kaiserslautern, a southwestern German city. Theoretically, he says, Google could record a query for pregnancy tests, then nine months later provide advertisements for diapers. Or - six years later - it could show offers for after-school homework help. "The more data Google collects from its users, the higher the price it can ask for advertisements," says Speck. A 'Data Monster' Image
02.Nov.2008 [...] Denying Google data cuts to the heart of its business model. More and more customers are wondering: What does Google know about me?
02.Nov.2008 [...] It’s also well-known that Google checks for keywords in the content of e-mails sent through its mail program, then displays relevant advertisements in a sidebar. This clever exploitation of information for direct advertising has turned Google into a multi-billion-dollar organization.
02.Nov.2008 [...] With its services, Google has established itself as a global online power in just a decade.
02.Nov.2008 [...] Banks could use the information to raise a mortgage rate. Burglars could use the images to case a home.
02.Nov.2008 [...] . “These pictures, which are available for retrieval worldwide over the Internet, could easily be linked to satellite photos, address databanks and other personal data,” warns Peter Schaar, Germany's Federal Commissioner for Data Protection.
02.Nov.2008 [...] The camera-wielding Astras haven't come to Molfsee yet, and local Google opponents want to keep it that way. Some of them have resorted to local law. According to a road traffic act passed in the town, Google would need a special permit to drive and photograph in Molfsee. Local politicians have refused to issue the permit. That decision has had a ripple effect throughout Germany. The state parliament in Schleswig-Holstein, where Molfsee is located, discussed Google's project in early October. There's even been talk of introducing legislation at the national level. Schleswig-Holstein's top data protection organization offers a downloadable sign on its web site, to be printed and placed on citizens' front lawns: "No pictures for Google Street View."

02.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ 2. Of course, during the current Presidential campaign, Obama (abetted by supporters and the MSM - see below) has sought to deny his past affiliation with the New Party . According to Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt "he was never a member" Huh. This certainly seems to conflict with the documents linked above.
(Hit PERMALINK to read the rest)
Anyway, Ben Smith contacted Joel Rogers, one of the founder of the New Party and currently an Obama supporter, to seek clarification:
"As for Obama's membership?
'We didn’t really have members,' said Rogers." Huh? I live in Madison (yes, I know - I'm partially outing myself - so be it). I'm on the Left, with a long-term activist history here (since '79). I know people in the New Party. The Dane County chapter was called Progressive Dane, and it still exists. Of course the New Party had members.
So Ben Smith later posts an update. Ben had gotten criticized online by Stanley Kurtz for accepting (without question) Joel's assertion that the New Party could refer to "members" without having any. Joel Rogers sends Ben a clarification:
"I meant that there was no formal membership structure in the usual party sense of members, with people registering with election boards for primary and other restrictive elections, for the obvious reasons that we didn't even have official party status in any state and were always looking to get progressive registered Ds, Rs, Gs, or whomever to accept our nomination if we liked them. We did have regular supporters whom many called 'members,' but it just meant contributing regularly, not getting voting rights or other formal power in NP governance...." Wait a minute! I knew/know New Party/Progressive Dane members. Democratic governance via member votes (for bylaws, policy positions, budgets, endorsements, etc,) was a core principal that the party was built on.
So, off to the internet archives. From the 1992 NP interim governance document (still available online):
"Reflecting our commitment to democracy, the NP is internally democratic. Even as it seeks to compete for state power, and thus look beyond its current membership in making electoral appeals, its strategy for doing that, and for all other things, is determined by the free deliberations of its membership. ... MEMBERSHIP & DUES
Membership in the NP is of two kinds: individual and affiliate. Individual members are people. Affiliate members are groups (e.g., trade unions, community groups, women's federations) who pledge support for the NP as a collective body and on behalf of their members. Membership carries responsibilities and rights. The central right it carries is the right to meaningful (e.g., informed and equally weighted) participation with other members in the governance of the NP itself. The central responsibilities it carries is the responsibility to uphold the principles and operating procedures of the NP and to advance the NP as an organization, in part by supporting it materially through dues.
The dues structure is as follows. The standard individual membership costs $36 annually. For low income individuals, defined as those with annual incomes below $12,000, individual membership costs $12 annually. Affiliate members, pledged by one group or another, are assessed $2.40 a year, or a monthly per cap of $.20. Members of a group thus affiliated with the NP can take out an individual membership as well. All affiliate member participants in NP decision-making bodies, at the local, state, or national level, must themselves be individual members.
All membership dues are paid to the national office, which then rebates a portion of them to local and state organizing efforts. Depending on the stage of those efforts, that rebate is a matter of discretion, or right. (See discussion under 'Local and State Organization.')
The membership governance structure for the New Party/Progressive Dane (the chapter of the party here in Madison) is carefully spelled out: "Only members in good standing of the organization may vote on matters of business before Progressive Dane County." 3. Getting endorsed by the New Party, at least in Chicago, was not a passive process : "Candidates must be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP." 4. The New Party had strong roots/ties to the DSA.
Some of the above items are from Chicago DSA newsletters. DSA newsletters usually allocated space for New Party outreach/info. Another typical example: "On Saturday, 14.Jan.---- , the New Party in Chicago took another step in its effort to establish itself as a political force by holding a major outreach meeting directed at Chicago's Left. About 100 people, with sizable delegations from DSA and CoC among others, heard Bruce Colburn and Elaine Bernard preach the gospel of the New Party... " The DSA roots/ties were not confined to Chicago. E.g. The DSA states that it co-sponsored the Working Families Party in NY State. "Veterans of the left will remember that the 1968 Peace and Freedom Party and the 1980 Citizens Party arose at moments of greater left-wing strength and did not significantly alter the national electoral landscape. Nor has, unfortunately, the New Party, which many DSAers work with in states where 'fusion' of third party and major party votes is possible (such as the DSA co-sponsored Working Families Party in N.Y. State)." Incidentally, Obama was also directly endorsed by the Chicago DSA.
At least in Chicago and Little Rock, the New Party also had strong ties to ACORN. Much of the membership came out of ACORN.
Also, there's a piece on this by Stanley Kurtz:
By the way - I'll mention that, over the last couple of decades, I've seen many on the Left complain that ACORN does not play well with others. The instinctive reaction of many on the Left is to protect ACORN when it's criticized in the media (and not publicly air dirty laundry), since it's "one of us". But let's just say - it's not universally loved.
5. Is the New Party is "socialist"? It comes down to a matter of semantics.
As I mentioned above - I live in Madison, I'm on the Left, I'm an activist, and I'm personally pretty familiar with the New Party/Progressive Dane.
I think Noam Chomsky (a prominent New Party member) gives a rather useful description vis a vis the "socialism" question. The following is from an e-mail that was posted online by Dan Cantor, who founded the New Party along with Joel Rogers: "Subject: NP Online News #3: Chomsky on New Party." Chomsky: 1. Am I a member? Yes.
2. Do I think it's a constructive idea? Yes.
3. Is it just a 'reform movement within capitalism'? Yes.
4. Am I against capitalism? Yes.
5. Is there a contradiction between 3 and 4? No.
6. How is the New Party different from liberalism? Hard to answer without some clarification. If by "liberalism" is meant the Democratic Party, it is plainly different from liberalism. If what is meant is some kind of social democratic version of state capitalism, presumably not - at least now, though the project is one that has a possible evolution in mind, and in prospect, I think. In case you're not familiar with use of the term "state capitalism" by the Left, see this.
From my experience, Chomsky's stance is a pretty accurate reflection of the New Party membership (at least in Madison).
Another description: "As two of the NP's charter organizers, Sandy Pope and Joel Rogers, put it in The Nation (July 20, 1992), it would be locally based yet nationally linked, broadly social democratic in philosophy, and a vehicle for a fundamental 'rethinking of basic institutions like the family, firm, and state.'" Here's a relevant passage from that article in The Nation: "Ideologically, we want the New Party to be broadly 'social democratic' in its orientation. That is, it should recognize that capitalism needs to be regulated if it’s not going to kill us, and that government 'by the people' and 'of the people' can be more than rhetoric (and government can be significantly more satisfying and efficient) if the “people” get organized. At the same time, it should recognize that traditional social democracy needs to be reinterpreted in light of the 'new' social movements of racial pluralism, feminism and environmentalism. Drawing on all these movements, the New Party should get beyond the single-Issue politics no one is happy with. It should be the party of labor but not just a labor party, a party of environmentalists but not just a green party, a party of racial pluralism and Justice but not just a black or Latino party, a party of feminists but not just a feminist party. Rather, within a framework of commitment to sustainable development, distributive equality, racial justice, gender equity and collective security and development, the New Party should convene popular discussion of how all these things are mutually and practically achievable, and then set about competing for and using state power (though not necessarily government bureaucracies themselves) to help achieve them." Joel Rogers was also quoted in an article about the New Party in the LA Times, January 27, 1997: "I think it would be unfair to characterize it as just a marketing strategy for old defeated socialists. . . ," Rogers says. "It attaches much less weight to the state--much less than even conventional liberalism." One question here is precisely what is meant by "old defeated socialists" (e.g. Eastern block country style socialism?).
Another online description that seems pretty accurate: "New Party - This leftist party advocates a 'democratic revolution' to advance the cause of 'social, economic, & political progress' in America. Their agenda is much in the style of the Western European socialist and labor movement - and somewhat similar to that of the late-1990s formed Labor Party. Rather than fielding their own national slate or local candidates, the New Party has taken to largely endorsing like-minded candidates from other parties (mainly pro-labor Democrats like Chicago Congressman Danny K. Davis). Their New York State affiliate party - the Working Families Party - qualified for permanent ballot status based on the 1998 election results. Small informative site with clean layout. An amusing question: if the New Party lasts for 50 years, will they rename themselves the Old Party (or the Fifty-Something Party)?" There are obviously many ways of defining terms such as "socialist" or "capitalist".
I've heard certain individual members label themselves as libertarian-socialist (feels like a bit of an oxymoron to me) or soft-anarchist/socialist. We're definitely not talking hard core Left/SDS here. Most of the members that I've known could fairly be described as social democrats. Essentially all that I know are deeply critical of capitalism (not just of how it's implemented, but capitalism per se). If forced to pick in a dichotomous choice between calling themselves capitalist or socialist, I personally know none who would pick the capitalist option. Few view the old Soviet Union favorably. Most that I know view Cuba rather favorably (though most would not want to recapitulate Cuba here). Locally, Progressive Dane pushes for things like "living wage" ordinances (a worthy endeavor in my opinion, though some readers may disagree).
And, as I mentioned, they can be a bit pushy and doctrinaire.
Incidentally, the person complaining about Progressive Dane/New Party tactics here is Paul Soglin, former Mayor of Madison.
Though Paul has mellowed considerably with age, he doesn't exactly represent the center of the Democratic Party himself.
6. Of course, the MSM has effectively chosen to either ignore or suppress the Obama New Party story .
You've already seen how Ben Smith handled it (above). Make sure to note the element of dismissive snark in his article. I'll also note that Ben Smith is one of the primary gatekeepers for the national discourse in the MSM (a few sites, such as Politico.com, Drudge, etc. tend to really drive the political news coverage).
As Stanley Kurtz wrote in reply: "Have you ever heard of a political party that has no members? Ben Smith has, and he believes. Based on a claim by New Party co-founder Joel Rogers that "we didn’t really have members," Smith seems to think he’s disposed of the issue of Barack Obama’s ties to the "dread New Party." In other words, Smith has accepted a transparently absurd statement by an intensely interested Obama supporter responding to a dangerous charge just before an election, while rejecting not only logic, but written evidence contemporaneous with the events in question....
Every thing about Ben Smith’s post, from its sarcastic title, to its sarcastic content indicates a bias against conservative concerns, combined with an utterly incurious and credulous acceptance of even the most questionable assertions by Obama supporters. Smith seems to believe he’s disposed of the issue altogether, when in fact he has neither confronted nor seriously discussed key evidence and arguments at stake in this dispute. There is something profoundly wrong with the mainstream press’s conduct in this election." Ben Smith replies: "I agreed with Kurtz in the item that they were calling him a member, though I quote the party's chairman and an Obama aide saying he wasn't, which seems to advance the story a bit, which is what blog items can do." Stanely Kurtz replies:
"Yes, quoting Joel Rogers’ ludicrous denial of the documented fact that the New Party had members did possess the potential to 'advance the story.' But the credulous way Smith reported on Rogers’ statement had the effect of suppressing the story, not advancing it. I believe that any fair reader of Smith’s original post would see that it was designed to suppress the story, and not to advance it." It's pretty obvious that Kurtz is correct on this point. Both Ben Smith's "Choosing Corsi" entry and Kurtz's response are worth reading in full.
After seeing these entries, I contacted Ben with the information included above (about New Party membership, governance, and politics). So far, no correction has been forthcoming. I was told that Obama's New Party membership falls in "who cares" territory. No-one would care (yawn), and if publicly reported on, his New Party membership would affect zero votes.
OK. Let me understand. This is less newsworthy than Palin's clothes.
Maybe I'm weird - since I'm from a working class background (though now inhabit ivory tower) - but I know plenty of people for whom Obama's New Party affiliation (and subsequent campaign denial) would be significant news.
My impression of Ben is that he's basically a decent guy. In fairness, he did pursue the Ayers story somewhat. And he's gotten criticized by some Obamabots for being insufficiently deferential. However, for the most part...he reliably channels the Obama campaign (alternatively, you could argue that he channels the "elite consensus", which is essentially equivalent to the Obama campaign in this election cycle).
The way the media has treated the New Party story is an interesting contrast to the hue and cry (e.g. headline story on ABC) when Palin was thought to once have been a member of the Alaska Independence Party.
People on the Right cry liberal media bias. I don't think that's correct. It's deference to power and the insulating effect of the "elite consensus". Much like the housing bubble - they listen to each other (the media echo chamber), and so they mislead each other.
I noticed Anglachel's blog entry today about Bob Somerby, and I'll close with a quote honoring him:
"He has set for himself the sisyphean task of simply telling the truth. It is people like Bob that Hannah Arendt means when she says "Facts need testimony to be remembered and trustworthy witnesses to be established in order to find a secure dwelling place in the domain of human affairs." He is a trustworthy witness testifying about the facts on the ground, no matter the desire of the courtiers to dismiss the destruction of political accountability." Permalink

Semprún: Obwohl die Deutschen ihre Trauerarbeit mit einiger Verzögerung begonnen haben, glaube ich, dass es die tiefgreifendste Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Geschichte in ganz Europa ist.
02.Nov.2008 [...] Auch die Kirche hat sich immer noch nicht kritisch distanzieren können von ihren Positionen des Bürgerkriegs. Sie sieht den Krieg immer noch als Kreuzzug. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Worin zeigt sich diese Haltung der katholischen Kirche in Spanien? Semprún: Bei den Prozessionen zur "Semana Santa", zur Karwoche, in Sevilla wird die Statue der Jungfrau von Macarena durch die Straßen getragen. Niemand erinnert daran, dass diese Statue noch heute, nach all den Jahren, bei den Prozessionen die Schärpe von Francos General Queipo de LLano trägt. Queipo de LLano ist der General, der Sevilla angegriffen hat, der für seine Unterdrückung und seine faschistoiden Ansichten bekannt war.
02.Nov.2008 [...] Semprún: Unabhängig davon, wie man die Initiative von Richter Garzón juristisch bewertet, ist es offensichtlich, dass Spanien eine umfassende Erinnerungskultur braucht. Im Bürgerkrieg wurde die Demokratie zerstört. Heute gelten in der spanischen Gesellschaft die Werte der besiegten Republikaner, demokratische Werte. Trotzdem wird das historische Gedenken oft von den Werten der damaligen Sieger dominiert.
02.Nov.2008 [...] Semprún: Franco kam durch einen dreijährigen Bürgerkrieg an die Macht, der hunderttausende Tote auf beiden Seiten gefordert hat. Er errichtete ein totalitäres Regime, das das Volk sehr, sehr lange und brutal unterdrückte. Dass das Regime durch einen Bürgerkrieg an die Macht gekommen ist, unterscheidet Spanien von anderen Ländern. In der Zeit des Übergangs zur Demokratie gab es den Wunsch nach Amnesie, der wurde mit dem Amnestiegesetz verankert. Das Volk wollte vergessen. Nun will das Volk sich erinnern.

Das Ziel besteht darin, Iran durch einen wochenlangen Luftkrieg zur Kapitulation zu zwingen. Dabei soll auch der Einsatz von Atomwaffen nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Es geht, schreibt der Neokonservative Michael Rubin, der das Papier entworfen hat, um »die Bereitschaft, Hunderttausende Menschen zu töten«. Eine ausführliche Analyse des Papiers »Meeting the Challenge« hat Knut Mellenthin auf der Internetseite hintergrund.de veröffentlicht
01.Nov.2008 [...] Die Autoren schreiben: »Die Anwesenheit von US-Truppen im Irak und in Afghanistan bietet deutliche Voreile in jeder möglichen Konfrontation mit Iran. Die USA können unter dem Deckmantel der Irak- und Afghanistan-Konflikte Truppen und Material in die Region bringen und auf diese Weise einen Grad von strategischer und taktischer Überraschung aufrechterhalten.«
01.Nov.2008 [...] Nach dem Willen der Autoren soll Iran nicht nur mit der bekannten Forderung nach Einstellung aller Arbeiten an der Urananreicherung konfrontiert werden. Das Land soll außerdem auf Jahre hinaus Kontrollen akzeptieren, wie man sie nur einem geschlagenen Gegner mit militärischer Gewalt aufzwingen kann. In den Worten des Papiers: »In jedes Abkommen müssen Verifizierungsprozeduren hineingeschrieben werden, die sich auf nicht deklarierte Atomprogramme innerhalb des Landes beziehen. Angesichts der Unfähigkeit der IAEA jedoch, nicht deklarierte Aktivitäten zu entdecken, müssen solche Verifizierungsprozeduren den Mechanismen ähneln, die von der Sonderkommission der Vereinten Nationen (UNSCOM) auf Saddam Husseins Irak angewendet wurden.«

The researchers suggest that errors in boundary judgment may actually be beneficial because the end goal is a logical view of the world as a whole. The authors conclude, "The rapidity of this error would be advantageous rather than harmful, because the goal of the visual system is not to represent the spurious boundaries of each fleeting view, but to incorporate those views into a coherent, continuous representation of a surrounding world."

01.Nov.2008 Stevens On Whether Saddam And Iraq Had 9/11 Role: ‘I Believe They Did’ - Ali Frick Comments Last night, convicted felon Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) faced Anchorage mayor and Senate candidate Mark Begich in their last debate before Tuesday’s election. During the debate, Stevens twice insisted that he had “not been convicted of anything” — though, of course, he was found guilty of all seven counts of making false statements on his Senate disclosure forms. Waving away his conviction wasn’t Stevens’ only bizarre moment in the debate. Discussing Iraq, Stevens insisted that Saddam Hussein had played a role in the 9/11 attacks: MODERATOR: Knowing what you know now, do you think that the country of Iraq and Saddam Hussein played a role in the 9/11 attack on the United States? STEVENS: I know more than you think I know, and I believe they did. BEGICH: I don’t believe they did. Perhaps Stevens is taking a cue from Cheney in doubling down on insisting a link existed between Iraq and 9/11. He wants Alaskans to believe he knows something they don’t, but it’s Stevens whose facts are wrong: 17.Jun.2004 – The Sept. 11 commission found no “collaborative relationship” between Iraq and al Qaeda and said there was “no cooperation” between the two. [] 10.Sep.2006 – A Senate Intelligence Committee report found that Saddam Hussein issued a general order that Iraq should not deal with al Qaeda, and found that the Iraqi regime never attempted to facilitate a relationship with bin Ladin. [] 13.Mar.2008 – A Pentagon report looking into ties between Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and al Qaeda showed no connection between the two , after reviewing 600,000 Iraqi documents. [] What’s more, the White House knew that its repeated claims of collaboration between Iraq and al Qaeda were unfounded. A recent book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind claimed that, after the Iraq war began, the White House ordered the CIA to forge a “backdated, handwritten letter” from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein, in an attempt to tie Hussein to the 9/11 attacks.
01.Nov.2008 Even Texas doesn’t like President Bush anymore. - Matt Corley Comments Though President Bush was once “Texas’ favorite son,” the Lone Star State has now joined “the rest of the nation in registering sharp disapproval of his job performance as the nation’s chief executive.” In a new survey by the University of Texas, only 34 % of Texans said that they “approved of Bush’s handling of the presidency, with just under 10 % approving ’strongly.’” Fifty-five % said they disapproved of Bush’s performance, including 38.7 % strongly disapproving.
31.Oct.2008 - Think Progress Comments “ The White House is working to enact a wide array of federal regulations , many of which would weaken government rules aimed at protecting consumers and the environment.” Some of the new rules, which are “among the most controversial deregulatory steps of the Bush era,” would ease controls on emissions of pollutants, relax drinking-water standards and lift restrictions on mountaintop coal mining. The federal Bureau of Land Management “ is reviving plans to sell oil and gas leases in pristine wilderness areas in eastern Utah that have long been protected from development.” “The proposed sale, which includes famous areas in the Nine Mile Canyon region, would take place 19.Dec.2008 -a month before President Bush leaves office.” According to Justice Department and FAA records, “Attorney General Michael Mukasey has taken personal trips on government jets almost every weekend since he took office less than a year ago at a cost to taxpayers of more than $155,800 .” Mukasey was out of Washington on personal trips “for almost half or more of February, May, July and September” and 00.Nov.2007-00.Sep.2008 traveled home 45 times . “The next U.S. president will govern in an era of increasing international instability, including a heightened risk of terrorist attacks in the near future , long-term prospects of regional conflicts and diminished U.S. dominance across the globe,” Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell said yesterday. Four days to go: John McCain will be campaigning in Ohio today, including a Columbus rally with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA). Sarah Palin will be holding rallies in York and Latrobe, PA.

Whether we choose to admit it or not, we all experience memory errors from time to time.

However, previous studies have indicated that a specific type of false memory known as "boundary extension" occurs for different reasons. Boundary extension is a mistake that we often make when recalling a view of a scene?we will insist that the boundaries of an image stretched out farther than what we actually saw.

01.Nov.2008 Magnetic Portals Connect Sun and Earth - Soulskill MaxwellEdison writes "Scientists have discovered evidence of magnetic portals connecting the Earth and the Sun every 8 minutes. 'Several speakers at the Workshop have outlined how FTEs form: On the dayside of Earth (the side closest to the sun), Earth's magnetic field presses against the sun's magnetic field. Approximately every eight minutes, the two fields briefly merge or "reconnect," forming a portal through which particles can flow. The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. The European Space Agency's fleet of four Cluster spacecraft and NASA's five THEMIS probes have flown through and surrounded these cylinders, measuring their dimensions and sensing the particles that shoot through."
01.Nov.2008 Researcher Warns of "Digital Dark Age" - Soulskill alphadogg writes "A assistant professor from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is sounding a warning that companies, the government and researchers need to come up with a plan for preserving our increasingly digitized data in light of shifting document management and other software platforms (think WordPerfect and floppy disks). Jerome P. McDonough, who teaches at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, says there exists about 369 exabytes worth of data, and that includes some pretty hard to replace stuff, including tax files, email and photos. Open standards could play a key role in any preservation effort, he says. 'If we can't keep today's information alive for future generations, we will lose a lot of our culture,' McDonough said. Even over the course of 10 years, you can have a rapid enough evolution in the ways people store digital information and the programs they use to access it that file formats can fall out of date.'"

Most important, they'll be able to put millions of books online, including those still in copyright — not just for searching and not just in snippets. There is a groundbreaking new licensing system meant to make the books as widely available as possible while protecting the authors' copyrights and enabling them to share in the revenue. Some will differ, but personally I think this is a wonderful outcome, for readers and for authors alike."

An anonymous reader writes with a story from The Columbus Dispatch that "government insiders accessed Joe the Plumber's records soon after the McCain-Obama debate. 'Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate. Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.' Welcome to 1984."
01.Nov.2008 100x Denser Chips Possible With Plasmonic Nanolithography - timothy Roland Piquepaille writes "According to the semiconductor industry, maskless nanolithography is a flexible nanofabrication technique which suffers from low throughput. But now, engineers at the University of California at Berkeley have developed a new approach that involves 'flying' an array of plasmonic lenses just 20 nanometers above a rotating surface, it is possible to increase throughput by several orders of magnitude. The 'flying head' they've created looks like the stylus on the arm of an old-fashioned LP turntable. With this technique, the researchers were able to create line patterns only 80 nanometers wide at speeds up to 12 meters per second. The lead researcher said that by using 'this plasmonic nanolithography, we will be able to make current microprocessors more than 10 times smaller, but far more powerful' and that 'it could lead to ultra-high density disks that can hold 10 to 100 times more data than today's disks.'"

01.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ In this post, I have listed several places where you may want to begin the process of turning over the topsoil. I will soon list others. Permalink
01.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Soomro comes from a famed political family in Sindh. (Chandoo is another Sindhi name.) Soomro has worked for a number of important banks in the Islamic world (including the National Bank of Pakistan, Faysal Islamic Bank of Bahrain and the Muslim Commercial Bank) and for the Bank of America.
00.000.1981-Until- the Bank of America partly owned the notorious BCCI, a money launderer's haven founded in Pakistan. American intelligence used BCCI as a conduit for funding the Afghan mujahadeen. However, I do not yet know precisely when Soomro worked for B of A, and thus cannot claim that he has a BCCI background.
01.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ 2. At the time, the CIA was offering clandestine support to the anti-Soviet "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan, who counted Osama Bin Laden among their numbers. Much of this support effort was run through Pakistan, using cut-outs.
01.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ 1. In 00.000.1981 Pakistan was under martial law, and U.S. travel was discouraged or forbidden. At the very least, we can say that a trip to a strife-torn forbidden zone would have constituted quite an adventure for any young man. So why does Obama refuse to mention this adventure in his books?
01.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Oxy, in my view, holds the key to this mystery. During his time there, Obama appears to have made contact with a professor of Politics who was one of the CIA's chief experts on the Soviet Union. This same prof was also, I am told, an associate of Zbigniew Brzenzinski, later to become Obama's foreign policy mentor. (Zbig probably hooked up with Obama at Columbia.)
Could this spooked-up "educator" have paved the way for Obama's trip? Did something more than the travel bug prompt the journey?
01.Nov.2008 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/
00.000.1981 Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia. In between, he traveled to Pakistan - a trip that enhanced his foreign policy qualifications, he maintained in a private speech at a San Francisco fundraiser last month. Obama spent “about three weeks” in Pakistan, traveling with Hamid and staying in Karachi with Chandoo’s family, said Bill Burton, Obama’s press secretary.

01.Nov.2008 blog.fefe.de/Knaller des Tages: Ziercke: verschiede Betriebssysteme zum Surfen und Online-Banking benutzen. Das ist ja schon bizarr genug, aber geht noch weiter: "Am besten benutzen Sie zwei voneinander getrennte Betriebssysteme – eines fürs Online-Banking und ein anderes fürs Surfen", äußerte sich BKA-Chef Ziercke gegenüber dpa. Beim Geldabheben solle man den Türöffner möglichst mit einer anderen Karte bedienen als den Geldautomaten. Ziercke begründete das mit den immer raffinierteren Methoden Krimineller, Heimcomputer mit Trojanern zu infizieren. Diese Schadprogramme lieferten den Tätern Zugangsdaten jeder Art Unglaublich. Ich habe gerade kognitive Dissonanz. Das erscheint mir taktisch ungeschickt, auf der einen Seite Trojaner unter dem Volk verteilen zu wollen, und auf der anderen Seite das Volk vor Trojanern zu warnen. Immerhin, einen hat er noch: Zur Bekämpfung dieser Delikte ist die Polizei nach Zierckes Darstellung auf die Vorratsdatenspeicherung angewiesen.

01.Nov.2008 [...] Neuroforscher sprechen von "assoziativen Brücken", über die Erinnerungen den Weg zurück ins Bewusstsein nehmen. Bilder von Krieg und Zerstörung haben sich wie eine Spur durchs Gedächtnis gebahnt, auf der die bislang erfolgreich verdrängten Erinnerungen wieder hervorkriechen.

Time has made solving the mystery more difficult. Hendrix, who later went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Cuban Missile Crisis, has declined to share his recollections. 00.000.1960 -the Halloween incident- asked recently about- he said brusquely that "it's been too long for me to try to piece it all together." Then, he hung up the phone.

01.Nov.2008 [...] Was "Operation Trick or Treat" an impassioned personal revenge mission, a covert government order or a mercenary adventure that could have earned its heroes a small fortune? Stemming from a time of Cold War intrigue, it easily could have been any of the three — or all of them.

01.Nov.2008 [...] Such trading on inside information is illegal, and when it involves highly classified details about a future CIA coup, it verges on treason.

01.Nov.2008 [...] Once in office, Presidente Árbenz sought to take it all back, nationalizing UFC's Guatemalan assets and redistributing them to the poor. But UFC had friends in very high places—the assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs, John Moor Cabot, was the brother of UFC President Thomas Cabot. The secretary of state himself, John Foster Dulles, had done legal work for UFC, and his brother Allen Dulles was director of the CIA and also on UFC's board. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, we now know that the various Cabots and Dulleses had a series of top-secret meetings in which they decided that Árbenz had to go and sponsored a coup that drove Árbenz from office in 1954.

The Baltic Dry Index measuring rates for coal, iron ore, and grains, and other dry goods plummeted below 1000 yesterday, down 92pc since peaking in June. The daily rental rates for Capesize big ships have dropped $234,000 to $7,340 in weeks, leaving operators stuck with heavy losses on long leases. Empty ships are now crowding Singapore and other global ports. "It is extremely serious, " said Jeremy Penn, president of the Baltic Exchange. "Freight rates have never fallen this steeply before. It is telling us that world trade in raw materials has slowed dramatically. Shippers are having genuine difficulty obtaining letters of credit from banks," he said. In Britischen Publikationen heisst "92pc" "92%".

Und tatsächlich - der Nilbarsch, nun Viktoriabarsch genannt, vermehrte sich rasend schnell in seiner neuen Umgebung. Doch den Preis für den Erfolg musste mal wieder die Natur zahlen: Der Raubfisch rottete innerhalb von 40 Jahren die ehemals 400 Fischarten im Viktoriasee fast vollständig aus, die ganze Region ist mittlerweile abhängig von der Fischindustrie, die sich nur noch um den Viktoriabarsch dreht.

Mit süffisanten Andeutungen gibt Lafontaine zu verstehen: Erst habe der Staat mit zehn Milliarden Euro die Insolvenz der Bank verhindert und die Verluste all dieser "Schrottpapiere" (Lafontaine) sozialisiert, um sie dann an eine Heuschrecke zu verkaufen. Und diesen Deal der Heuschrecke Lone Star habe ausgerechnet das Anwaltsbüro betreut, in dem auch Friedrich Merz tätig ist. Der wehrt gleich ab: Er habe damit persönlich nichts zu tun gehabt.

31.Oct.2008 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/0,1518,druck-587657,00.html Jetzt ist es quasi amtlich: Der Mensch ist Schuld daran, dass es an Nord- und Südpol in den vergangenen Jahren immer wärmer geworden ist. Dies belegen Simulationen der Temperaturentwicklung in Antarktis und Arktis, die ein internationales Forscherteam im Fachblatt "Nature Geoscience" veröffentlicht hat.
31.Oct.2008 [...] Zwar sei der Erwärmungsprozess am Südpol weniger deutlich als am Nordpol, schreiben sie, aber die Messungen belegten, "dass die Temperaturen in den Regionen steigen, wo Daten verfügbar sind". Die Studie bestätige "auf überzeugende Weise" die bereits in früheren Arbeiten geäußerte Annahme, dass die Klimaerwärmung menschgemacht sei, schrieb der US-Klimaforscher Andrew Managhan in einem Kommentar. Die Kenntnis der Ursachen der Veränderung des Polarklimas bezeichnete Managhan als wichtigen Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Entwicklung des Polareises.
