Rebirth of a Realist 2007-02-11 16:08:23 Rebirth of a Realist
America is the craziest place on the planetI think it is an old Italian expression that says, "From the head the rotting fish stinks first."One presidency after another for the last forty years has been rocked with one kind of a scandal or another. They have taken our moral structure down with them. Bush, of course, has escalated that slide downward.On February eight a pathetic, wretched women died at the early age of 39.Let’s pretend that we are a Muslim man in Tehran who has access to American media and sees three anchors on CNN news devote almost the entire day to every detail they could find about the women and the sudden death. Newspapers across the country made it a front-page storySo who is this women that has caused millions of dollars to be spent just for American scandal sheets to get a picture of her? Is she a holy person? Maybe a queen? Perhaps a great scientist that has found a cure for one of our killer diseases or perhaps a political figure that h Read more:Rebirth

The illusion of Democracy USAIn the 1960s, (and it is hard for me to believe that it was that long ago) many of us were arrested, tear gassed, beaten and jailed for trying to tell Americans that we must live up to our own constitution.We were saying that America could not pretend to be selling Democracy when it does not have it to sell.The people of Southeast Asia were not fighting a religious war or even a political one. Basically they were fighting against the white oppressors. First the French and then the Americans. Yes, they saw Black soldiers but to many they appeared as trained slaves whose relatives could not even vote in America. That is the enemy that they saw.We quoted over and over the X111 and XV amendments to the constitution.Amendment Dec. 18, 1865 X111Neither slavery or involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime whereof the party shall, have been duly convicted shall exist in the United StatesMarch 30 1870 XV the right of citizens of t Read more:democracy

Opiate of the USAIn Deutsch-Französischen Jahrbücher— Karl Marx said"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."Marx lived and wrote a long time ago. As hard as it might be for my grandson to believe that was even before cell phones/Today there is new opium that replaces religion. It is called mass media. Through it the oppressed can sigh and believe and make believe.On January 15,2007 Americans celebrate a holiday. It is the birth of Martin Luther King that they celebrate. They will hear, and see excerpts from his famous "I have a dream speech over and over that day.WE will hear from billionaire Oprah Winfrey and the half-black Senator, who may be a presidential candidate, Barack Obama and White Americans will feel good.Reality can not penetrate the media induced high they will receive, however the truth makes the often repeat of the Dream speech an obscen
War and USA 2007-01-02 15:50:19 Rebirth of a Realist
Christian Americans are the most war like people this planet has ever produced.I say that because so many refer to America as a Christian country.
Recently someone commented on a piece of mine by asking if I could document the statements I made about how many times the US has been at war and the invasion of Russia in 1918.I have always been aware of how little most Americans know about their own History, but I think that is true of young folks everywhere.In 1790 Alexander Hamilton had probably saved the economy of the new American nation. A nation that was practically bankrupt after the Revolution. By the creation of the national bank and other Hamilton economic plans he set the course for what he believed would be a prosperous and peaceful nation."Blessed are the peacemakers," Jesus said, but his naivete must have been the same as Hamilton's. In the short span of seventy years that followed Hamilton’s plan, residents of the new country saw the slaughter of the
The Prophets didn't work for the Associated press 2006-12-18 21:48:32 Rebirth of a Realist
The prophets didn’t work for the Associated Press.
Many years ago, my father once told me that if the story by- line is the Associated Press, read it with a smile because it is usually just propaganda disguised as news. If it says, "combined wire services," don’t bother reading it all because it is usually just a state department handout."My father collected outrageous media propaganda pieces. I remember one that told the story of the Finnish soldiers who hid in trees with can openers and when the " rickety Russian tanks" went by they would drop down from the trees, open the tanks with can openers and blow them up. When the Red army drove the Nazi out of Stalingrad with the most efficient tanks of the entire war, my father would wave the clipping and say, "Stupid Nazis forgot their can openers."There is a piece by the Associated Press in a December 15 Connecticut newspaper that tells the story of Soviet soldiers killing 16000 Polish troops by shooting them al
Who owns the American congress 2006-12-07 18:57:54 Rebirth of a RealistWho owns The American
Congress ?When Dr. Martin Luther King was going through the metamorphous that was to transform him from a Black Civil Rights leader and a preacher to a major internationally known political figure, he made a very profound statement that rankled the neo-cons and the American media. He said, "it is one thing to throw a coin to a beggar, it is another thing to address the edifice that creates beggars." The new REALIST, Dr. King, was saying that a major structural change, was needed to re-create the America outlined in our constitution.King is gone and his words forgotten. Each election time in America we hear politicians bleating about change and election reform, but if they are elected they do nothing.This past election presented a clear picture of where the American political structure is at, a picture that should not only frighten Americans but frighten the world because the whole world is affected.The candidate, who spent the most money won, T

(He was a proud member if the builders union) "But David why in Connecticut""What’s wrong with Connecticut?""The people here are all crazy. They sent a Nazi to the United States Senate. A Nazi who supported and got rich from doing business with the madman Hitler.My father lost many of his relatives in Byelorussia during the Nazi rampage in that country. Naturally he followed the war news very closely and that day he told me about Roosevelt passing the "Trading with the enemy act in 1942 and how the U.S. confiscated the Prescot Bush holdings in a Nazi banking group. Until then I had never heard about that and I could hardly believe it. How could voters, less than ten years after that horrible war send such a man to the U.S. Senate?On November 8th 2006, following the U.S. elections I thought about my father. I remember

THEY ARE BAACK .THE USA RETURNSThe Washington Post reported: March 17, 2000, " US Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright will announce a major overture toward Iran today, promising steps toward the return of assets frozen since Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, lifting a ban on imports of Iranian luxury goods and making it easier for Iranian academics and athletes to visit the United States. While stopping short of an apology, Albright will acknowledge past American meddling in Iran, including the CIA-backed coup that toppled Iran’s leftist prime minister, Mohammed Mossadegh, and restored its monarchy in 1953. She also will express regret for Washington’s "shortsighted" support of Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, according to an administration official who has read the speech."Liberals saw this as a late and minor victory, knowing that the Savak, the Shah’s secrete police, was known to carry out many crimes.

WarBy David Truskoff10 March, 2007Countercurrents.orgMarch 7th 1965 is the day the Selma civil rights marchers were beaten trying to march for freedom. On March 9th we re-grouped and started the historic Selma to Montgomery Freedom March. Presidential candidates are planning to attend this year’s anniversary celebration. They will again embarrass most of us who made that March with their hypocritical promises of a better America for all races.When I wrote the book THE SECOND CIVIL WAR it was with a great deal of emotion and yes, some tears. I think that it is important that on this day liberals at least read the introduction to the book.INTRODUCTIONThe first time that I met LeRoy Jerome Moton was in March of 1965, one hundred years after the first battle of Selma. He was in his late teens, and the Messiah had come to his hometown. The six-foot gangling youth glowed in the Messiah’s reflection.It was all a beautiful dream. Martin Luther King Read more:Civil War
Liar,liar, pants on fire 2006-11-13 21:00:00 Rebirth of a RealistLiar Liar pants on Fire.In 1952 Hanson Baldwin wrote, about the war in Vietnam, "The people of France are becoming more and more Weary of conflict that brings them no return at a cost known to every tax payer" In November 2006 the American taxpayers said the same thing with their vote against the Bush War.

The liars will see to it.In 1948 when the United States and Israel became joined at the hip ("One nation Indivisible" Senator Lieberman said) The very creation of the state was based on Hypocrisy and Lies.

Lieberman on Lieberman,It is ironic that the elections in Israel and the elections in the US will involve two similar political characters named Lieberman. The Lieberman of Israel is described by Uri Avnery as a man who, "advocates the expulsion of the Arab citizens from Israel. He threatened to destroy Egypt by blowing up the Aswan Dam. He demanded the execution of the Israeli Arab Knesset members for meeting with Syrian and Hamas leaders."Joe Lieberman and his namesake are similar in that they are both blind faith right wing Zionists. Joe an eighteen year US Senator, lost the primary in the Democratic party to a neophyte, albeit a very rich neophyte, Primarily because of his goose stepping to the marching tune of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and supporting the war in Iraq. With the help of AIPAC and about eighteen million Dollars or more he is thumbing his nose at the party and may go back to the senate as an Independent.One congressional s Read more:Rebirth

"NO BLOOD FOR OIL."Most popular sign carried all over the world during May, 2003 anti-war demonstrations.At the end of World War II, American and British oil companies were once again fighting for control of the Iranian oil fields and giving Stalin another reason for deep concern. The Iran -Soviet border was long and treacherous. Stalin had already pulled his troops out of Iran in April of 1946, but his own very productive oil fields in Baku were near the Iranian border. With the western powers constantly fomenting revolution and discord in Iran, Stalin was understandably concerned. Aramco, Shell, Socony and other huge international oil companies were rushing to sign long- term contracts with the western supported, Iranian Government. For sixty years, the British plundered the Iranian oil fields by maintaining friendly sovereigns in power. After World War II, the people of Iran were calling for an end to what they referred to as British imperialist rule. Revolutiona Read more:Rebirth

Israel self destruct 2006-08-31 20:03:00 Rebirth of a RealistIt seems like just yesterday, I was an enthusiastic, patriotic American looking forward to a wonderful peaceful future. As the song goes, "Oh what a feeling." That was when my mother and father were so proud of the two-star banner they hung in the front window. That banner told everyone that their sons were in the war against fascism.Will any generation ever have that feeling again? How wonderful to believe, as we did, that we had ended war forever. How wonderful to believe that we had defeated the forces of fascism and racism. Yes, naiveté has its place.I must confess now, however, that I am one of the most cynical men on the planet. I am very doubtful about the future of the human animal. This same animal, which is by far the most vicious killer to walk the planet, not only kills millions of his own species every year, but also kills and devours millions of other species.

A Trainman came by and asked me where I was going. I told him and he waved for me to follow him. I told him I didn’t have a ticket but he put me on the train. Later I had to take a bus from the train station to my home. The driver put his hand over the coin collector and again I rode free.At home I had my mustering out pay, a ten thousand dollar GI mortgage guarantee, free college tuition with a stipend of $50 a month if I attended and the twenty dollars a week for fifty two weeks to hold me over. I was also assured of health benefits at Veterans hospitals. That was the mid forties. That was my America. Today the Bush administration is cutting the Veterans hospital budgets to the bone and he is making more patients every day.The treatment of our veterans today is a national disgrace.

We agreed that we wouldn’t waste a lot of time talking about the war or the politics of the war because we all agree on that, so the way Cathy and I saw this thing tonight was to move in to much more personal problems with our commitment. I would like to touch again on the subject of parents because I did not agree with Wilfred. I think that most parents do make great sacrifices for their children and do deserve to be considered. I’m not saying that they should keep you from making your own decisions. I am saying that you should do your utmost to include them. I know that Wilfred’s folks do not oppose what he is doing.

The night after the 1948 presidential elections, I played basketball in the adult YMCA league in Passaic New Jersey. I remember it because after the game we all went to our favorite bar to have a few beers and play some shuffleboard. I did not want to go home. While none of us expected Wallace to win, we wanted to make a statement to the world that Realists were still here and unafraid. We wanted to say that we are building a new concept in American politics that would lead to a new America. It was an emotional ride, and we still had the great acceptance speech ringing in our ears. When I re-read it now I feel a sense of guilt. Why didn’t I, and all Realists work harder to make that great man our president and save the world from the insanity of todayOn the day Wallace accepted the nomination he said,“ Franklin Roosevelt looked beyond the horizon and gave us a vision of peace, an economic bill of rights; the right to work, for every man willing.

William Sloan CoffinWell, Bill finally is at peace. The last time I saw him speak he said he had about six months to live. That was at least a year ago. He would like folks to say that he was a pretty tough guy.We had our differences about realism and how to apply it. Coffin was an ex CIA agent. He had been a friend of George W.H. Bush since his youth. They both attended Phillips Academy (1942), and he brought Coffin into the exclusive Scull and Bones secrete society at yale. As a CIA agent he spent three years in West Germany recruiting so called anti-Soviet refugees, and bring them to the US and train them on how to undermine Stalin's regime. Some of them were the most ruthless Nazis such as Radislow Ostrowski and Emanual Jasiuk The darlings of the Einsatzgruppen and Major Dimitri Asmowitch the Ruthless Nazi mayor of Smolensk.

It tells me a lot about my country and the world. In 1996, I was invited to attend a symposium at Moscow University. The university itself is amazingly conservative. Perhaps I should use a better word, for in Moscow the media has confused the public by using the word conservative to describe those on the left.

Trickle Down Economics Perpetuates War 2007-04-24 21:34:00 The Trickle down theory of economics has been a Conservative political anthem for a century. Even though most economists admit that it doesn’t work greed still prevails and old trickle down spreads around the world.The theory is that if you get investors, foreign and local to invest in companies and give the companies large tax breaks, the profits they make will trickle down to the workers. It’s like the old Wobblies song (International Workers of the World) "there will be pie in the sky when you die THAT’S A LIE!"The folks that put words and ideas into the mouth of Ronald Reagan in the economic insanity of the 1980s cut the top tax bracket from 70% down to 50% and then down to 28%. How well I remember Reagan’s budget director David Stockman telling American workers that the tax cuts would stimulate the American economy and benefit the workers.Cold war profits soared, but the number of people below the poverty levelincreased from (31.8 million) to (39.3 million) according to th Read more:Economics
