I don’t think that there is any spectacle quite so moving or so sad than to see someone’s possessions stacked in the yard in front of what used to be their home. It is odd, not just our own connection with our belongings, but our belongings’ connections to us as well.
What once was a living room chair or kitchen chair, where we relaxed and contemplated life or ate our meals, then becomes lawn debris left over from a silent, slow-moving, invisible storm that drowns some (…)

The Cockpit: Where Custom & Tradition, Technology and Humans Collide
14 November 2009The Probable Cause summation at the end of an aircraft accident investigation report is the official determination of why an accident occurred. Common threads are pilot error and equipment failure. Beyond structural failure, the clash between technology and humans was evident in the case of an American Airlines flight at Cali, Columbia.1 The third factor is more difficult to identify and document. It is the failure of the system, a situation that does not allow for the full utilization of (…)

Hello Vietnamistan, Goodbye Obama
13 November 2009If anyone had told me back in Reagan’s days that his Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and a Wall Street Journal editor, Paul Craig Roberts, would become one of my favorite columnists, I would have laughed. Now Roberts puts more truth into one essay (e.g., “The Evil Empire”) than you could glean rummaging through the entire WSJ archive. Likewise if anyone had told me I would agree with Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine, the commanding general of the United States Army Intelligence and Security (…)

COMOROS: THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF LOW BLOWS TO LEGALIZE AN INJUSTICE
11 November 2009The aim of France to keep the 3 other islands of the Comoros (Anjuan, Mayotte and Moheli), a chronic destabilization is to guide the political concerns of Comoros on issues related to their "survival" as the return of Mayotte in its natural environment. The draft of the Comoros in a humiliating poverty is a factor of satisfaction for France, because it stifles any hint of demands on the return of Mayotte in its natural fold. For many of the Comoros, Mayotte claim the project is absolutely (…)

Video: Mohammed Omer on Israel’s Separation Wall and Death
10 November 2009On Nov. 5, 2009, at the Palestine Center in Washington, D.C., an award-winning journalist, Mohammed Omer, presented a video that he had taken in January, 2005, at Rafah, Gaza Strip, near the Egyptian border.

Genocide-complicit, genocide-ignoring Apartheid Australia honors Petraeus & votes NO to Goldstone at UN
10 November 2009Apartheid Australia has race-based Apartheid-style laws violating the human rights of Indigenous Australians and is involved in the continuing racist atrocities of the Iraqi Genocide and the Afghan Genocide.
Apartheid Australia makes donations towards the Palestinian Genocide tax deductible while making donors towards orphanages or hospitals in Israeli-besieged but internally democratically-elected Hamas-run Gaza Concentration Camp potentially liable for life imprisonment under Apartheid (…) -
It’s Baltimore, Hon!: Did Mayor Dixon Steal from the Poor?
9 November 2009“Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.” - H. L. Mencken
Baltimore, MD - On Monday, Nov. 9, 2009, the criminal trial of Mayor Sheila Dixon will open up in the Circuit Court House, only two blocks from City Hall, where she’s reigned as boss of bosses since 2007. In a way, it will be like watching one of the iconic John Waters’ flicks. The case will have it all: sex, fur coats, a shop-till-you drop mentality, comedy, a married boyfriend in heat, gift cards, sleazy (…) -
THE AFGHAN TRAP REVISITED: COMPOUNDING OUR MISTAKES
7 November 2009JAZZMAN CHRONICLES. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
Let’s assume that the group of people who planned and executed the September 2001 attack on America’s institutions of finance, the military and an unknown third target (I would have thought the CIA in Langley, Virginia) were something more capable than idiots. Let us assume they had at least a notion of a plan that went beyond hitting us where it hurts.
The American response to such an attack was not difficult to predict: We would identify a (…)
