http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/2219 There have been many attempts to understand and explain fascism in purely materialistic and economic terms, and perhaps as many analyses looking beyond conventional socio-economic factors to more unusual origins. The problem is that 'fascism,' like communism, has several flavors and varieties, some of which (like Maoism and Leninism) are somewhat at odds with each other. Clearly, some of the purported influences on German Nazism, such as pan-Germanism and neo-paganism, had not played as much of a role in Spanish, Italian, or Latin American fascist movements, which emerged out of Catholic roots. Nazism has been analyzed from various perspectives, including that of Wilhelm Reich, who saw it as a massive 'armoring' of society resulting from the sexual dysfunction of the populace1, and Norman Cohn2, who saw parallels between the Nazis and millenarian, anti-Semitic, and eschatological movements of the Middle Ages such as the Lollards. Historians have a problem with getting a grasp on fascism, because it is a label applied to such a wide panoply of political movements (especially by putative political opponents) - some collectivist or corporatist, others radically individualist; some rabidly puritanical, others flouting of all morality and taste; and some imperialistic, while others are isolationist.

http://www.zmag.org/sustainers/content/2001-12/27pilger.cfm It is a well-known and widely accepted fact that, during wartime, news companies and governmental representatives fuse their voices together into one univocal beam of support for the national military objective. And, while, for many, this is a vital aspect of institutional patriotism, it is also a very dangerous and troubling reality. For, if the news media have abandoned their responsibility to objectively inform the population, then our concept of a democracy (which is founded on the ability for all citizens to choose their nation's destiny based on a full spectrum of information) is in desperate peril.

Indian Ambassador Arundhati Ghose brought to an end a 2 1/2 year effort by the United Nations' Committee on Disarmament (CD) when she vetoed the Committee's nuclear Test-ban Treaty. Requiring the consensus of all 61 members, India's actions prevented the adoption of the Treaty and its forwarding to the full United Nations for signing. Alone in its action, India stood in clear and open defiance of the world's Big-5 nuclear weapons states and the hopes of many other nations.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-110601fbi.story Under cover of war, and with the help of a pathetically soft media, Bush and company's slippery maneuvers continue. Caving in to Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott and other Republican Neanderthals, Bush has broken his promise to give $20 billion in aid to New York, and has eluded much criticism for it. He conveniently pulled out of the ABM treaty with Russia on the same day that the White House released the newest bin Laden tape, which of course dominated the media. And as the fallout from the Enron collapse continues, the Bush administration may be teetering on the edge of a scandal that makes Whitewater look like a bake sale. But so far, you wouldn't know it.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crimgov/message/8256 Despite its other commercial interests, Enron made significant money in the energy arena by slipping between suppliers and consumers. As the middle man, the corporation "managed" natural gas and electricity
supplies for 28,500 accounts ranging from J.C. Penney stores to
factories nationwide and 40 other countries. Their rap was simple:
Clients could avoid the volatility of unpredictable energy markets by
signing supply contracts with Enron. The huge company, with so many
sources of energy (and maybe a little market manipulation), could assure customers of long-term, stable supplies at predictable prices.
But here's the catch. While Enron was making billions selling energy
stability, they were busy pushing a deregulation agenda across the
nation.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crimgov/message/8263 If you follow George Bush's thinking on how to fix our broken economy,
you would throw a few hundred million in tax breaks to his buddies who bankrupted Enron. Not simply because they bankrolled his ascension to the Texas governorship and the White House but, more important, because they are modern alchemists who make money out of nothing. Nothing is what Enron is to its once-loyal employees, who lost those private savings accounts that Bush is always touting; some of them will now have to live on Social Security, which the president is seems hellbent on bankrupting.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crimgov/message/8264 Mention anarchism and most people think of chaos, mayhem, and bomb- throwing. But for author and social critic John Zerzan, anarchism is not about people running wild in the streets. Rather, it's about eradicating all forms of domination. This includes not only the nation-state and the corporation, but also such internalized forms as patriarchy, racism, and homophobia.
http://greenfield.fortunecity.com/crawdad/213/eots.html John Zerzan may well be the most extreme author on the planet. It is somewhat ironic that the release of the Unabomber's Industrial Society and its Consequences should have brought Zerzan's views to national attention--ironic because his writings are far more extreme than those of the bomber he was believed to have influenced. For Zerzan, humanity's fall from grace did not commence with industrialism nor even with agriculture, but in the embrace of symbolic culture, i.e., language, art, and number. Culture, rather than being viewed as our great emancipator, is a mediation which distances us from a sensual embrace of reality, our capacity to realize ourselves within the moment. Language is communication become subject-bound, art is a stand-in for an infinitely more rich reality, number is the practice of an illusory sameness which drains our world of interest.
http://www.primitivism.com/zerzan.htm For decades an unwritten but universally-observed rule required that media avoid using the terms anarchism or anarchist. Such reference would tend to give legitimacy to a doctrine that was anathema to the powers that be. Under this ban only very odious references to these terms could be made. Namely, any breakdown of authority had to be portrayed as resulting in a completely awful situation; for example, the "anarchy" that allegedly reigns, from time to time, in places like Bosnia, Somalia, Beirut, etc.
http://www.primitivism.com/what-is-anarchism.htm According to Hans Moravec, by 2040 robots will become as smart as we are. And then they'll displace us as the dominant form of life on Earth. But he isn't worried - the robots will love us.

http://www.primitivism.com/final-empire.htm At this point in history, it is essential that we ask difficult and searching questions about the place of technology in our lives. What is the essence of modern technology? How does it structure our lives? Our perceptions? Our politics? How does it shape our psyches? What does it say about our relationship to our humanness and to the Earth? Unfortunately, obstacles to answers are entrenched, like concrete piers at a freeway exchange, in both our social and psychological reality.

To be called a Luddite implies a pointless and futile rejection of technology, tinged, thanks to Ted Kaczynski, with the threat of violence.

http://www.co-intelligence.org/WTOHawken.html There are species of animals that live in societies that defend territory as a social group. These societies are referred to as biological nations.

That is what constitutionally guaranteed due process is all about. It may sometimes be disorderly and unsatisfactory to some, but it is the essence of freedom ...

From the country's founding through the present, U.S. Indian policy has consistently followed a program to subordinate American Indian nations and expropriate their land and resources.
http://home.icdc.com/~paulwolf/copap7a.htm The Corporate Agribusiness Research Project (CARP) was established to monitor corporate agribusiness from a public interest prospective through awareness, education, and action while at the same time advocating the importance of building alternative, democratically controlled food systems.

The letter requests the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Swiss professor Jean Ziegler, to call for “immediate measures to prioritize humanitarian relief and prevent further violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.”

http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=101459 AS LONG AS WE STILL HAVE IT, I'm going to make the most of the First Amendment: What we are doing in, above, and to Afghanistan is short-sighted, counterproductive and immoral. That I am among a mere 6 or 10 percent of Americans (depending on the poll) who feel this way hurts my heart.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/10/17/ED186101.DTL There is a ghostly absence of images of the victims of this war. More than 1m people were displaced inside Afghanistan before September 11, and since then hundreds of thousands are feared to be on the move, according to the UN. They have little or no access to food, water or medicine. But we can't see them; they have no face. They have not so far massed shockingly, and photogenically, in front of the cameras, because the borders to neighbouring countries remain closed. They have fled to villages in the mountains, where aid agencies fear they will starve slowly, in pockets, away from the places where photographers can bear witness.

http://mytwobeadsworth.com/Wildhorsekillings.html Another very deep, dark secret of the 20th Century, is how some Chief Rabbis - certainly not all of them - operated in countries around Nazi Germany. In Poland, for example, these purported holymen were the community bankers. The ordinary people not having
local banks available, such as in the U.S., they entrusted them with their money and valuables. And these Chief Rabbis, too often, told their people, after the invasion by the Germans, after 1939, "Shush, quiet, say nothing, get on the train. The Germans want
you to work on the farm."
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/2275 If anyone in Indian Country needed more proof that politicians shouldn't be allowed to guide the reform effort for the Individual Indian Monies (IIM) trust any longer, the Interior Department has come up with a beauty. It has not only shut down all Internet access to its web sites. It has frozen payments to individual Indian trust beneficiaries - just in time for the holidays. At the moment, Interior is sitting on 43,000 checks that a lot of people in Indian Country were counting on at this time of year. Why? Because Interior wants to shift the blame for its own gross mismanagement of the trust onto the Cobell plaintiffs - those of us who have been fighting for five and a half years to force Interior to clean up the mess.
http://mytwobeadsworth.com/InteriorChecks.html Article VI of the U.S. Constitution states "Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme law of the land, with the judges in every state bound thereby." Article 3 of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie states "The U.S. bind themselves to protect the seven signatory Indian Nations against the commission of all depredations by the United States."
http://mytwobeadsworth.com/WoundedKnee.html Whole tribes and peoples were made to disappear from the face of the earth. This was a very calculated and deliberate act of genocide carried out by colonial governments and by extension the American people who coveted Indian land in order to create wealth for themselves. This is the foundation upon which America is built.

Killing of the family group, believed to consist of 11 individuals, is likely to start in January. The Norwegian authorities have confirmed that they will not issue any warning before they load their shotguns and start their helicopters, claiming last winter’s licences still apply.

http://www.enn.com/news/enn-stories/2001/12/12272001/s_45937.asp Chronic unemployment, underemployment, and hyperinflation are still the rule, and most Iraqis are still struggling in terrible poverty. 11 years after the Gulf War, the electricity has not yet been fully restored, and much of the country's infrastructure remains in disrepair. The hospitals here are just as crowded, and almost as poorly stocked, as I remember from 1999. The doctors complain just as much about not having enough medicines, or the proper medicines. And the children are still dying by the thousands every month.
http://www.counterpunch.org/kysia1.html There weren't any surprises in the foreign-aid bill Congress passed last week, least of all in the appropriation the U.S. handed Israel: more than 17 percent of the entire foreign-aid expenditure, $2.7 billion. That's on top of the $2.5 billion in military support from the defense budget, forgiven loans, and special grants the tiny state rakes in each year. Up to 80 percent of this aid never leaves the U.S., because it's earmarked for arms purchases that must be made here.
