In The News:
Thanks this morning to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the news and commentary audio file.

A slowly unraveling disaster... That's what the BP/Horizon Oil Drilling Rig explosion, sinking, and spill is. The first of the spill is beginning to reach the barrier islands. There are calming words in the media that spill control technology has improved since the Exxon Valdez disaster (Exxon btw, won their appeal in court regarding damages caused by the Valdez spill. BIGPetro doesn't pay damages...) The state of Louisiana has declared a state of emergency and the US military is on the scene.

Just for the record, President Obama on the topic of offshore drilling:

"Oil Rigs Today Generally Don’t Cause Spills"

What a difference 18 days makes. Here was Barack Obama, on April 2, before the BP oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, claiming that oil rigs are safe to justify his position on offshore drilling:
I don’t agree with the notion that we shouldn’t do anything. It turns out, by the way, that oil rigs today generally don’t cause spills. They are technologically very advanced. Even during Katrina, the spills didn’t come from the oil rigs, they came from the refineries onshore.
Not only does this quote look ridiculous in hindsight, it wasn’t true at the time, as Brad Johnson points out:
Obama’s claim that oil rigs did not cause any spills during Hurricane Katrina is simply false, as the Wonk Room reported in June, 2008, when Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and other conservatives made the same false claim:

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Caused 124 Offshore Spills For A Total Of 743,700 Gallons. 554,400 gallons were crude oil and condensate from platforms, rigs and pipelines, and 189,000 gallons were refined products from platforms and rigs. [MMS, 1/22/07]

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Caused Six Offshore Spills Of 42,000 Gallons Or Greater. The largest of these was 152,250 gallons, well over the 100,000 gallon threshold considered a “major spill.” [MMS, 5/1/06] In Full

Juan Cole @ Informed Comment does the number crunching: "BP’s first-quarter profits this year, by the way, rose to $6.1 billion from $2.6 billion in 2009."

Just thought you'd like to know that...

Yesterdays union organized protest on Wall Street went nearly un-noticed by Wall Street's brokers, but there IS a resonance with the American public:

The labor march near Wall Street, joined by religious and community groups as well as the president of the N.A.A.C.P, aimed to change the national discussion on banks so it focused not just on regulatory reform. Many speakers contended that the government should make financial firms pay for the damage they did to the economy.

“People in New York and across the country who did nothing wrong and want to work have paid for the misdeeds of the big banks with their jobs, homes and retirement savings,” said Richard Trumka, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. president. In Full

The "Tea Party" has essentially forced the Republican governor of the state of Florida out of the Republican fold. There will now be a three way race with governor Crist running as an independent.

The House of Representatives is going to allow Puerto Rico to vote on their status as nation or state. In the first voting round the question will be do they want to change? If the answer is yes the next round will decide on Independence, territory, or 'loose affiliation' a la Saipan and the other sweatshop islands

The Belgian Burka law is about to go into effect even as Belgium's government faces an uncertain future following the fall of the government on April 22... and Muslim women will probably be out on the streets to protest.

ACLU to Obama: "Entire World is not a War Zone" - stop Program of Targeted Killing

Thursday, 29 April 2010

Various media reports and the obvious increase of drone missile attacks since the beginning of the Obama administration make it clear that the U.S. is engaged in an illegal assassination program throughout the world. Anyone’s name, including the names of American citizens, can be added to these extrajudicial kill lists, without any legal due process. These killings violate international law and the U.S. Constitution. But in its war of terror on the world, laws and even basic morality are routinely brushed aside by the U.S. imperialists.

On April 28th, the American Civil Liberties Union today sent a letter to President Barack Obama regarding his assassination program.

In The News:
It's election year for congress with four weeks left before summer recess and everyone wants to get to campaigning so the Republicans UNANIMOUSLY cave in and allow the debate on the finance reform bill to continue.

The Secretary of Energy has decided to permit wind farms off the coast of Massachusetts... Nice view from the beach at Cape Cod and other "playgrounds of the rich and democratic". On land, wind farms lead to massive increases in truck traffic to maintain these high tech, precision machines and we may expect the same increase in marine traffic, pollution, and massive destruction of fish and sea birds in the area.

It's Different, But Not A Lot, In The 21st Century - 'Owens Valley Water Wars' Redux

The British elections happen next Wednesday and tonight is the final debate on economic policy. The buzz right now is all about Labor leader Gordon Brown's gaffe' He was being addressed by a woman spouting racist crap about immigration laws and he called her a bigot.

The Taliban leader in Pakistan Hakimullah Mahsud is not dead after all, and is apparently back in Waziristan. It begs the question who DID get killed in the raid that supposedly killed him.

The Gulf oil leak... Two more leaks have been discovered and the spill is at least 5 times as large as previously estimated with leakage now totaling 210,000 barrels a day (or one Exxon Valdez every 2 months, with an estimated repair time of three months). They will only be able to burn off about 3 percent of the slick as shrimping and oyster season opens. Expect economic disaster. There's more on this slow motion ongoing disaster for the Southern Coastal US @ Foreign Policy Magazine

In light of the commentary... Haiti in crisis... A street-eye view, from Squatter City:

As this New York Times article makes clear, many who were previously not squatters now are and will be for for the foreseeable future in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.

And its not just residents like Ginette Lemazor and her family, who, the article notes, live "in a flimsy structure fashioned from plastic sheeting and salvaged wood. They have a bed — “Please, make yourself at home,” she said, pointing to it — and a chair." Schools are operating under tarps. Impromptu latrines are so full that people are invading half-wrecked houses to use their toilets. And one thought unites everyone: the government doesn't communicate (except to falsely promise supplies) and is doing nothing. Indeed, in a recent interview, President René Préval, rather than speaking about rebuilding, promised there would be more earthquakes. In Full

...and finally, in Santa Cruz California local news... Due to the expansion of the Wednesday Downtown Santa Cruz Farmers Market, the traditional drum circle has been forced to moved away from it's spot as of last week to avoid confrontation with the police and market. The location picked is a parking lot across the street, nearer the street and away from the market.

Yesterday, a police supervisor stopped by to discuss noise complaints numbering 12 (but perhaps 12 calls by one or two businesses).

The compromise offered by the city and police... "Move away from here" (If this sounds familiar, it's the same rejoinder used by the White settlers in discussion with the Native Americans. Paraphrased by a native as "We move and we move, but you (the settlers) continue to say "You are too close, move farther away".

The police supervisor suggested "The Beach", or a local park that has been a source of noise complaints for 30 years even when children play, due to senior citizen housing across the street, or at the town clock... In the middle of the heaviest vehicular traffic part of Santa Cruz.

None of these sites are acceptable. An unofficial counter-offer was made offering time constraints... No response from the police supervisor who undoubtedly is promulgating an ultimatum as compromise.

The Drummers will be at the same site next week despite the possibility of police action.

This is a shout out to ALL Santa Cruz locals, including Santa Cruz Veterans recently displaced from their county usurped and operated meeting hall under spurious and suspicious circumstances. Y' all come on down to the Farmers Market next Wednesday for donuts and coffee, music and merriment. Bring a drum, bang a gong. Let's get it on!

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico caused by the explosion, fire, and sinking of a leased oil drilling platform is threatening the marine environment, wetlands, and oyster beds of the Southern US with a slick larger than Rhode Island. A slow disaster that will destroy another huge part of America's already vanishing fisheries.

The city of San Francisco is considering canceling all contracts with companies in Arizona because o the recently passed state law allowing the authorities to 'inspect' anyone with Brown skin, and Mexico has issued a foreign travel advisory warning to it's citizens.... More.

Here's something EVERY American citizen can do... Boycott MLB Spring Training in Arizona.

This is a Facebook group, but even if you don't 'do' FB, there are other ways to make your voice heard:

The Arizona immigration law is an insult to the hispanic players of Major League Baseball.

The assassin of Malcolm X, who has spent 44 years in prison (see below...) since the act at the age of 15, has been released.

Since March 1992, Hagan was on a work release program where he only served two days a week in the Lincoln Correctional Facility ironically located near 110th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard. He currently has six children two are grown and the other four ages 21, 17, 14, and 10.

Zead Ramadan, the board chairmen of the ballroom where Malcolm X was slain, commented to CNN. "I personally find it strange that for a couple decades any person convicted in the assassination of such an iconic figure would be allowed such leniency.” The other two convicted participants in the assassination always proclaimed their innocence and were released during the 1980s.

Arizona and other security state stuff
28th April 2010, 08:16 am by Stan

At Facebook, there is a grand panic going on over teaparty people. They are seen as the embodiment of black-shirted reaction in the United States. And at some point, they certainly could be; but for right now they are are an expression of the frothing impotence of white nationalists in the face of their country under the political headship of a “Negro.” They are quite frightened of black people, and genuinely believe that black people as a whole in the United States are a threat to their well-being and security. They’ve always been there, as a fraction of the American middleclass and also fractions of the wage-working class. A recent article made note of their demographic, which is — contrary to the “bubba” image that some would project onto them — salaried middle-class, white, male, and suburban.

In reply to this being posted at FB, I did my ritual invocation of gender as in many ways definitive of this movement… which it is. Defined by gender. And a movement. The reason there is hope in this is that the majority of salaried middle-class, white, male suburbanites (SMCWMS) are not sympathetic to the teaparty movement. Yet. My point on gender and masculinities is that we can look at the SMCWMS’s that do embrace this species of reaction, and at those SMCWMS’s that do not embrace this species of reaction, and compare their notions about male-identity and about how power is negotiated between men and women in the same household. I suspect you’d find dramatic and clear cut differences. Among members of the same class!

But I digress. The reason I get aggravated by the teaparty panic among all these lefty-ish folks who’d like to embrace a politics of resistance (if only someone could show them how… if only someone knew how), is that the same people are giving the actually seated, actually legally powerful federal government of the Obama administration… a pass.

But the framework for increasing the power of the security state, built by every president that is seated as they seek and incrementally find avenues for strengthening the power of the executive branch. Bush accelerated this process after 9-11, but Obama has rubber-stamped every one of those measures, and continued to expand executive power.

That’s the danger right in front of us, not the teabaggers.

The kind of shit that happened in Arizona, where a bunch of SMCWMS snowbirds — who share a teabag metnality — have tilted the whole state’s political apparatus into a kind of anachronistic nut-zone, is not indicative of the whole country; nor is it the most immediate threat in terms of a more repressive society. The seated government, however, commands armed forces, intelligence agencies, police, courts, prisons, an inconceivable budget, and the ability to print money..." [MORE]

Every major piece of legislation since Barack Obama took office as president has been filibustered... To wit The Finance Reform Bill. Details.

Speaking of puppet governments, the Iraqi government just, for all intents and purposes, evaporated. More.

Here's something Da' Buffalo wrote as an adjunct to the 4/20 edition of Cabale News last year

[April 20 2009] Travus T. Hipp Morning News & Commentary: '420'... What Does That Mean?

In The News: It's 420, April 20th, memorialized nationwide, perhap globally, for a number of reasons (Columbine, the Waco siege on David Koresh's Branch Davidians compound, the Oklahoma City bombing (on the 19th), and Adolph Hitler's birthday) that have no direct connection to Marijuana, although this myth at the Huffington Post says it started with the Grateful Dead.

Da Buffalo needs to say a word or so here: Philosophically... If the industrialized members of the human race had been more involved consuming the noble herb and less involved with alcohol and nasty pharma-complex pills/potions that suppress free thought and free will over the last so many hundred years, no one would have thought David Koresh's Branch Davidians weird for their beliefs, or worth harassing to the point of their own self-assisted destruction.

Nor would there have likely been disfranchised, disillusioned and abandoned soldiers from our dirty wars (wars that would have been soooo much less likely to have been fought in the first place) to have acted in a reactionary manner to that occurrence (The Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah Federal Building).

No more stressed out, dunned and harassed 'outcast' students at a 'human mind mill' called 'Columbine high school' (or Virginia Tech for that matter), a 'school', like most public schools, thoroughly abusive in culture and intended to act as an institutional babysitter, making it possible for both parents, those children's pilot guiding lights, to work themselves into psycho-emotional numbness, ruining them as parents to their own children, and allowing the school authorities to attempt shaping those 'lost children' into docile subservient workers with only the knowledge necessary to accomplish the task of making money and being good consumers, even as the consumer based society they were programmed to believe in was spiritually unfulfilling (nor intended to be otherwise) and indeed, even then, collapsing.

Think on it....

Don't "Hope for Change... BE the change... away from that fubar 'way of life'(death).

Smoke it, and with friends, your family, and your community (local AND extended), think your way out of the cultural 'box' we've created for ourselves and willingly climbed into.

How Stalin Funded the Tea Party Movement
A People’s History of Koch Industries
from THE EXILED - MANKIND'S ONLY ALTERNATIVE

Class War For Idiots / Tea Party / April 17, 2010

Everyone knows that Tea Party revolutionaries fear and hate socialism about as much as the Antichrist. Which is funny, because the Tea Party movement’s dirty little secret is that it owes its existence to the grandaddy of all Antichrists: the godless empire of the USSR.

What few realize is that the secretive oil billionaires of the Koch family, the main supporters of the right-wing groups that orchestrated the Tea Party movement, would not have the means to bankroll their favorite causes had it not been for the pile of money the family made working for the Bolsheviks in the late 1920s and early 1930s, building refineries, training Communist engineers and laying down the foundation of Soviet oil infrastructure.

The comrades were good to the Kochs. Today Koch Industries has grown into the second-largest private company in America. With an annual revenue of $100 billion... In Full

Meanwhile, Koch Industries Sends Letter to TPMuckraker Saying They Don't Fund Tea Parties (Except When They Do)

Koch Industries, a major backer of myriad right-wing causes, issued an unsolicited statement last night in advance of Tax Day claiming it has never provided funding "specifically to support the tea parties." But when TPMmuckraker followed up, a spokeswoman acknowledged that Koch funds one of the most prominent national groups that organizes ... tea parties. (source)
