RE:  A NEW, CHILLING SECRET ABOUT THE MANHATTAN PROJECT HAS JUST BEEN
MADE PUBLIC
 

Newly declassified documents reveal that Gen. Leslie Groves—director
of the Manhattan Project, the top-secret operation that built the
atomic bomb during World War II—misled Congress and the public about
the effects of radiation. He did so initially out of ignorance, then
denial, and finally, willful deception.

The documents also show that some scientists in the project, including
J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Los Alamos lab where the bomb
was first tested, kept mum about Groves’ lie rather than dispute him
or confront the general directly.

The cache of documents—the latest in a series of once secret and
top-secret material about the A-bomb obtained over the years by the
National Security Archive, a private research organization at George
Washington University—was released on Monday

ELECTORAL HARBINGER -- THE OHIO VOTE AND THE FUTURE  --  CARTOON BY
NICK ANDERSON

 

Tuesday's defeat of Issue 1 in Ohio, widely seen as a proxy vote on
abortion, is yet another warning to the Republican Party on their
extremist abortion views. The American people have consistently
demonstrated support for some reasonable limits on abortion access.
But the anti-choice in the Republican party will not stop until all
abortion access is outlawed in the "land of the free.”

THE ICEBERG  --  CARTOON BY NICK ANDERSON

 

For most of his term as Trump's attorney general, Bill Barr was Trump
loyalist. He ran interference for Trump after the Mueller Report was
published, falsely claiming that there was no evidence of obstruction
of justice; that “the White House fully cooperated with the Special
Counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and
White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and
asserting no privilege claims.” In fact, this directly contradicted
the Muller Report

SECOND PRISON  --  POEM BY SEYMOUR JOSEPH
 

Hard Time Blues

I done some hard time —
fifteen years upstate.
But hard time there ain’t so hard
you do it straight.
You leave them bars behind
the hard time free’s the hardest kind,
doing for yourself when you been a con.
Ain’t nobody treats you right.
Lucky you even get a job.
And if you do the boss got you in his sight.
Screw up once you on your ass,
peckin’ with the pigeons in the grass.
Hard to get a damn room anywhere.
The landlord don’t want no ex-con —
    ’specially black —
mixing with the decent folk he got up there.
Make me sometime wanna go back.

I do the best an ex-con can.
But after that hard time I done —
paid my dues, took it like a man —
you’d think I’d have a little fun.
I still can’t get those bars offa me,
but now they bars that you can’t see.
Lord amighty, I might never be
a man who’s really Freedom Free.

Karen Lee Wald

      =====

There is no equivalence between Chinese and possibly Russian
capitalism and US capitalism. The goal of US capitalism is to continue
to work for the establishment of the form of the kings of lands that
preceded the US establishment of a democracy, as it calls itself.

China and maybe Russia continues to work for the communist government,
even though it has been forced to employ the tactic of capitalism in
the process.

Norma J F Harrison

      =====

I think Robinson's analysis is right on target.

He said: "We may support the (mildly) redistributive policies at home
and dynamic foreign policy abroad of governments such as
Lula's.  All capitalist states are not the same and it matters a
great deal who is in the government."

Every antiwar struggle must be grounded in a class analysis of the
combatant countries.  This is as true for Ukraine and Russia as it
is for the US and UK.  The same approach applies to class struggle
within a country.  It matters who is in charge, even if that person
is thoroughly aligned with perpetuating the capitalist
enterprise.  The difference between Bolsonaro and Lula matters, but
so too does the difference between Trump and Biden.

Every systemic stage of the economic order has within it conflicts
within classes as well as between them.  It is not heretical either
to observe that capitalism represented an advance over feudalism and
slavery, even though both were rooted in class exploitation.  It is
equally true that these intra-class conflicts as well and inter-class
conflicts will vary from country to country, and between the early and
late stages of their systemic development.  Saying that those
differences matter is not denial of the class struggles contained
within them.  Class analysis only becomes a guiding beacon if it is
pointed in the right direction.

RE: US LEADERS SPLIT ON CHINA POLICY
 

A case of two rival capitalisms, if you ask me, a university economics
major and graduate (Indiana University-Bloomington). Both have
festering class struggles below the surface that are breaking out into
the open, and both strive for economic hegemony. But one, China, calls
itself "socialist" when it is not, when it is but a state
ownership-private ownership hybrid with an authoritarian, dictatorial
government at the helm.

RE: THIS WEEK IN PEOPLE’S HISTORY, AUGUST 8 – 14
 

The article about face masks during the flu pandemic of 100 years ago
reminded me of the history of socialism in Milwaukee.  The socialists
made Milwaukee the safest city in the States (in terms of deaths from
the flu) by empowering the health department to promote and enforce
healthy behavior to slow the spread of the flu. A start contrast to
the libertarian philosophy...

RE: LIBERATION STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN NIGER
 

Are we actually referring to some of Niger's mixed population as

Ironically when Spain and Portugal are discussed, never have I read of

COMPETING PERSPECTIVES ON UKRAINE
 

That portion of US voters who attempt to follow foreign affairs can
be, I think, divided these days into two groups. The first, by far the
biggest, believe that US involvement outside our borders, be it
military, diplomatic, or in the form of aid, is carried out for
charitable reasons. This  huge group can be further divided, between
those who support international charity, and those who oppose it.

They all think that the US is trying to "help" Ukraine. The one side,
spurred on by the corporate media, see Ukraine as the noble victim,
fighting for justice and national integrity. The other side is the
isolationists, who have a long US history, dating back to George
Washington, who urged us to avoid "entangling alliances." The second
side believe our tax money is better spent at home, privately, not
converted into taxes, at all.

Neither side of this dominant group has any appetite for the details
of this war. They have no notion of what is the Donbas, or the Minsk
Accords. They are barely aware of the significant neo-Nazi presence in
Ukraine, at best they think it a figment of the heated imagination of
Vladimir Putin.

In opposition to this big majority, those for or against "charitable"
foreign policy, is half the traditional Left. We see the war as a
product of grand plans of NATO, the CIA, the State Dept., the military
industrial complex (MIC), and US commercial corporate interests,
especially the oil companies. The other half of the Left have
forgotten their anti-imperialist roots, forgotten that we hate NATO
and love peace, and have slipped into liberalism on this issue. Many
are too young even to remember our last big imperial adventure: Iraq.

That puts a big burden on the small, but growing fraction of us who
try to have an impact on foreign policy, and have managed to hold on
to our class consciousness. We are in the uncomfortable position to
share a stage with the right wing, against the liberals. This is not
the first time. We were also there with them in the battle against
unfair trade deals.

Racism

The liberal supporters of NATO, are, ironically, by and large, enemies
of white racism at home. They would never let the n-word slip their
lips. They have an understanding of the effects of being a victim of
discrimination, even as they barely value the virtues of oppressed
groups. They fill the emotional need for racism among citizens of
capitalism, however, with the international variety: They especially
subscribe to Russophobia. Sinophobia is not far behind.

They hate Russia. They hated the Soviet Union. They cannot see the
complexities of the electoral scene in Russia thru the
oversimplification of their Russo-phobic racism. Their prejudice
denies them the ability to recognize the real reasons for the war.
Racists are impatient of the details of history and thus ignorant of
the effect on the complex Russian character of being 1) In transition
from an earlier Cultural Stage from us; 2) Buffeted for centuries
between central Asian imperialism and European imperialism.

Russo-phobes swallow eagerly the corporate media portrayal of Russia
as a tyrannical, imperialistic, homophobic backwater. Overwhelmed by
these prejudices, they automatically believe that in any international
dispute, Russia is in the wrong. They don't bother looking at the
details, i.e., the truth.

Russophobia, and disrespect for Slavs in general is a dominant feature
in US and western European foreign policy, and is fed in order to open
the door for the demands of the MIC and predatory investment capital.
There was a brief period of détente when Americans and Russians could
intermingle and get to know each other. That door has been slammed
shut, enabling the new Cold War, hot wars on the borders, threatening
Russia, and flirting with the horror of Nuclear holocaust.

How long will it take for the truth of the Ukraine War to penetrate
the general awareness? We can't predict, but it's our part to keep on
slugging.

CHASING THE DREAM OF EQUITY  -- HOW POLICY HAS SHAPED RACIAL ECONOMIC
DISPARITIES  (ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE)
 

By Adewale A. Maye • August 1, 2023

Economic Policy Institute
[[link removed]]

Overview

 • Read the Report
[[link removed]]

SUMMARY: In the 60 years since the March on Washington for Jobs and
Freedom, little progress has been made in removing barriers to the
full equitable integration of Black Americans into the U.S. economy.

Key findings

*
Post–civil rights era legislation has largely failed to address
widening racial disparities in wages, wealth, and homeownership for
Black Americans.

*
During the past 50 years, the annual Black unemployment rate has often
exceeded 10%, while even during the worst economic downturns, the
annual white unemployment rate has never exceeded 10%.

*
The typical white family has _eight times_ as much wealth as the
typical Black family. This racial wealth gap is a long-standing
vestige of centuries of government policies that explicitly denied
African Americans the opportunity to build wealth.

Why this matters

Many associate the March on Washington on August 28, 1963, with Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. What is
forgotten, however, are the marchers’ urgent calls to raise the
minimum wage, build affordable housing, and strengthen voters’
rights—sweeping reforms that could transform American lives.
Although we have made strides in racial equity, there are miles to go
before King’s dream is a reality.

How to fix it

Federal policy is essential to demolishing the structural barriers
created by discriminatory laws and statutes. Lawmakers should stop
relying solely on race-neutral policies, which don’t adequately
address problems rooted in racism. They must also craft race-conscious
policies with equity as a clearly defined and measurable policy goal.

Abstract

The Civil Rights Movement ushered in a new chapter in American
history. The combined efforts of many moved the U.S. Congress to pass
sweeping civil rights legislation to reverse oppressive Jim Crow laws
and broadly combat discrimination against people of color.

While this movement succeeded in removing key barriers to equal rights
under the law, many economic demands were left unmet. Failure to
address these has adversely impacted the economic security of people
of color and exacerbated many of the long-standing racial disparities
in economic outcomes present today.

This report examines the difficult relationship between public policy
and racial inequality in the United States. First, the report briefly
outlines the history and evolution of structural racism from
Reconstruction to the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. Next,
the report explores the policy demands the Civil Rights Movement
championed through the March on Washington and the Kerner Commission.
Then, the report examines whether federal policies implemented since
the civil rights era have supported or undermined the demands from
that period and the effects that those policies have had on the
economic status of Black Americans. Finally, the report outlines ways
in which policymakers can improve the lives of Black Americans and
fulfill the civil rights era promise of racial equity.

Webinar with artist, political cartoonist, and creative
whiz STEPHANIE MCMILLAN, SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, 2023, beginning at 10
AM PT, 11 AM MT, NOON CT, 1 PM ET (US/CANADA). (Find the time in any
time zone here
[[link removed]].)

We will stream live via Zoom and Facebook simultaneously. The first
100 registered participants to log in via Zoom will be able to join
the Zoom meeting and participate in the Q&A. If you arrive too late to
join on Zoom, just watch on our Facebook page
[[link removed]].
Soon after the event we will post an archival copy of the video to
our YouTube channel
[[link removed]].

Heavens know we need more joy and positive reinforcement as we face
the most challenging time in human history. Stephanie McMillan has
brought us both, inspiring ecosocialists and environmental/social
justice activists for many years with her sometimes-playful, always
on-point messages that center the ECO in SOCIALIST. In recent years
she has been focusing more on drawing and painting the vanishing
natural world in her Southeast Florida area that she calls home.

Stephanie will give a presentation about her work and then engage in
conversation with guest host EDIE PISTOLESI, retired professor of
art and art education from California State University Northridge, a
longtime ecosocialist artivist and educator.

Their conversation will be followed by an AUDIENCE Q&A, so you'll
get a chance to ask Stephanie more about her work and the critical
role of _love-infused_ arts and whimsy in our activism work.

INTERACTIVE FILM DISCUSSION ON SACCO AND VANZETTI - AUGUST 23

A FILM SCREENING AND INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION ON

_SACCO AND VANZETTI_

A FILM BY ALBA BOARD MEMBER PETER MILLER

With Special Guests Molly Crabapple and Ashik Siddique

Moderated by Brandon West of The DSA Fund
 
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT

[[link removed]]

JOIN US FOR A DISCUSSION ON THE FILM AND ITS PARALLELS TO THE
MOVEMENTS AND STRUGGLES OF TODAY

_Sacco and Vanzetti_ brings to life the personal, political and legal
aspects of the heartbreaking story behind Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists who were accused of a
murder in 1920, and executed in Boston in 1927 after a notoriously
prejudiced trial.

The ordeal of Sacco and Vanzetti came to symbolize the bigotry and
intolerance directed at immigrants and dissenters in America, and
millions of people in the U.S. around the world protested on their
behalf.  Nearly eighty years later, the story continues to have great
resonance, as civil liberties and the rights of immigrants are again
under attack.

The powerful prison writings of Sacco and Vanzetti are read by actors
John Turturro and Tony Shalhoub.  A chorus of passionate commentators
propels the narrative, including Howard Zinn, Arlo Guthrie, Studs
Terkel, and a number of older people with personal connections to the
story.  Artwork, music, poetry, and feature film clips about the case
are interwoven within the narrative.

Through the tragic story of Sacco and Vanzetti, and the inspiring
images of those who keep their memories alive, audiences will
experience a universal – and very timely – tale of official
injustice and human resilience.

A lyrical tapestry of a place and people, KING COAL
[[link removed]] meditates on the complex history and
future of the coal industry, the communities it has shaped, the myths
it has created. While deeply situated in Central Appalachia, the film
transcends time and place, emphasizing the ways in which all are
connected through an immersive mosaic of belonging, ritual, and
imagination. Emerging from the long shadows of the coal mines, KING
COAL untangles the pain from the beauty, and illuminates the innately
human capacity for change.
