THE ENEMY WITHIN  --  CARTOON BY NICK ANDERSON

Donald Trump is right about one thing; there is a profound danger
within our borders. But it's not the left, and it doesn't require a
military solution. It requires an electoral solution. Retired Gen.
Mark A. Milley warned that former president Donald Trump is a
“fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this
country.” I agree 100 percent. I hope America rises to meet the
threat and kicks this wannabe dictator to the curb on Nov. 5.

RE: EXONERATED FIVE SUES DONALD TRUMP FOR JOGGER CASE REMARKS MADE AT
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
 

"Defendant Trump falsely stated that plaintiffs killed an individual
and pled guilty to the crime. These statements are demonstrably
false,” the group wrote in federal complaint.

Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and
Korey Wise were teenagers when they were accused of the 1989 rape and
beating of a white woman jogger in New York City’s Central Park. The
five, who are Black and Latino, said they confessed to the crimes
under duress. They later recanted, pleading not guilty in court and
were later convicted after jury trials. Their convictions were vacated
in 2002 after another person confessed to the crime.

After the crime, Trump purchased a full-page ad in the New York Times,
calling for the teens to be executed. The jogger case was Trump’s
first foray into tough-on-crime politics that preluded his
full-throated populist political persona. Since then, dog whistles and
overtly racist rhetoric have been

RE: ISRAEL’S WAR AGAINST THE WORLD
 

"In July, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel's
occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967 is
illegal, and that it must withdraw its military forces and settlers
from all those territories. In September, the UN General Assembly
passed a resolution giving Israel one year to complete that
withdrawal. If, as expected, Israel fails to comply, the UN Security
Council or the General Assembly may take stronger measures, such as an
international arms embargo, economic sanctions or even the use of
force."

I am beyond angry, ashamed, disgusted, and disappointed with the lack
of concrete measures to stop and punish for its crimes by all parts of
the United Nations.  What can we do as individuals to truly make a
difference, rather than continue to be a silent conspirators?

RE: RABBI IS CALLING FOR CEASEFIRE IN GAZA – HOW I’M HONORING MY
DAD, A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR
 

A member of Rabbis for Ceasefire explains why they interrupted the UN
General Assembly earlier this year. A January poll from the Institute
for Policy and Understanding found 50% of U.S Jews supported a
ceasefire, only 34% opposed it, and 63% of the general population then
in favor of a ceasefire; a scant 16% of Americans wanted this war to
continue.

Right now anti-Zionism is a minority view among American Jews, but
younger Jews are increasingly critical of Israel and the war on Gaza.
The same poll to reveal that only 34% of Jews overall oppose a
ceasefire also showed that 41% of Jews over age 50 oppose an immediate
ceasefire, while only 22% of Jews age 18-29 do. Like so many times in
the past, the US Jewish community is in the middle of a radical
ideological shift.

"Judaism has preserved and honored minority opinions with dignity for
thousands of years."

RE: WHAT THE MOVEMENT FOR PALESTINE CAN LEARN FROM THE FIGHT AGAINST
APARTHEID
 

This is important, but it fails to go the next logical step and
critique mor fully the moral faillings of activists who are
pro-Palestine or pro-Israel, and fails to point out the secret of the
South African liberation movement was its strict policy of
non-racialism.

Even the least objectively anti-Semitic and/or murderous/terrorist of
the main Palestinian groups, Fatah, is fully corrupted by governing
practices that promote prejudice and hatred of Israel and of Jews in
various ways. 

Bottom line, we need a peace movement not just a solidarity
movement. 

Mike Dover

      =====

About the Middle East: there are two problems, and one is a matter of
time. I keep hearing how Hamas and Hezbollah's charter is the
destruction of Israel... as though no time had passed, and they gave
up on that decades ago. The same people refuse to recognize that the
phrase "from the river to the sea", and "Eretz Israel" is *exactly*
the same.

Further, Netanyahu is carrying out that plan: genocide. It's revenge
for his late brother, it's a lifetime of hate... and he doesn't dare
lose power, or he's going to jail (assuming the International Criminal
Court doesn't get their hands on him.

The issue that everyone is yelling about, but is time sensitive - is
the US' actions. Reality check: whatever Biden wants to do, say, obey
the law and stop shipping arms to Israel, he doesn't dare... until the
day after the election. We - that's "we" as the entire world" - cannot
take any chances of Trump getting back into power. This means we need
every vote, including those who would vote against the future were he
to stop now.

I'm expecting changes after the election.

MANLY MAN  --  CARTOON BY ROB ROGERS

 

It is hard to be shocked by anything Trump does after so many years of
lies and chaos, but the candidate's disgusting remarks about beloved
golfer Arnold Palmer's manhood were shocking. But that lewd talk is
not as dangerous as the wannabe dictator's threats to use the military
to go after his fellow Americans.

RE: SERIOUSLY? STEIN? SAWANT? SUICIDE?
 

There are enough people who hate Trump but may vote for Stein or West
or some other third candidate or not vote at all to perhaps move some
swing states into Trump’s column. That could matter greatly.

HARD LESSONS

[[link removed]]

Vietnam was the war that profoundly shaped my generation. We're all
octogenarians now, our numbers are dwindling and our living memories
are dying with us. But to this day they still sear our souls. More
than 60,000 American dead. More than 2,000,000 Vietnamese, Laotians,
and Cambodians dead. Uncounted numbers maimed for life, poisoned by
chemical warfare, or dead with heroin needles in their arms.

I am proud to say that for more than a decade I was a dedicated
anti-war activist. And I confess with deep regret, that born of
anguish and rage, for a few of those years some of my extreme,
self-righteous, political positions and provocative statements and
actions, were ineffective and counter-productive.

When anti-war activists met Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi and Paris, the
Vietnamese urged pro-peace Americans to _unite everyone who could be
united around the most important issue_ — which at that time was
ending the bombing and beginning peace negotiations. Uniting all who
could be united meant building broad coalitions and alliances among
people whose analyses and interpretation of the war diverged widely. A
minority of us in the student left, however, copped an egotistical,
"_If you're not with us you're against us_" attitude. We were too pure
to make common cause with those we saw as foes, too militant to temper
our extreme rhetoric, and too 'revolutionary' to curb our provocative
actions that alienated potential allies.

So for a few years I was a part of the problem rather than part of the
solution. And I was not alone in that. So much so, that SDS leader
Todd Gitlin would later note that by the late sixties, "_The only
thing the American people hated more than the Vietnam War was the
anti-war movement._" Which did neither the Vietnamese people nor
American draftees any good whatsoever. We were wrong, but it was not
we who paid the price.

In the 1968 election, it was self-evident that Nixon would be far
worse on Vietnam and racial justice than Humphrey. But we cared not,
for we were righteous in our legitimate revulsion against Johnson, his
war, his administration, his convention, and his vice-president. We
condemned and excoriated both major candidates equally and campaigned
for Eldridge Cleaver on the Peace & Freedom Party ticket. Cleaver got
less than 1% of the vote and the world got Nixon.

With Nixon we got five more years of war. With Nixon we got an
expanded war with the invasion of Cambodia and a massive bombing
campaign that dropped twice the explosive tonnage on Indochina than
was used in all of World War II. With Nixon we got the Kent State and
Jackson State massacres that cast a chilling, crippling pall over
anti-war and racial-justice protests across the nation. With Nixon we
got an Attorney General and an administration committed to
white-backlash politics, courting segregationists, and rolling back
civil rights. Which is why I now view my 1968, "_plague on all their
houses_" stand as part of the problem rather than part of the
solution.

There is no way to know what Humphrey would have done had he won. But
we do know that to some extent presidents and their administrations
take actions and enact policies favored by their political base. A
significant portion of the Democratic base opposed the Vietnam War and
supported justice initiatives. The Republican base that Nixon served
was quite the opposite, they wanted war, cops, bigotry and Jim Crow.

_[from BRUCE HARTFORD's bio [[link removed]]:
I was one of the Jews active in the Civil Rights movement. I began
with CORE and the Non-Violent Action Committee (N-VAC) in Los Angeles
(1963-1964) with direct action campaigns for housing integration and
school desegregation; and against employment discrimination by Bank of
America, Van deKamps Bakeries, and others. We marched, we picketed, we
sat-in, and we went to jail often. Some said that California was
"different" from the South, but after experiencing the tender mercies
of the LAPD and a restaurant owner who hired a mob of white teenagers
to attack our picket line in the heart of the South Central Black
community, I'm not so sure that the difference is as great as folks
imagine._

_In August of 1963 I participated in the March on Washington where Dr.
King gave his "I have a dream speech," and John Lewis challenged the
federal government to enforce the constitution it was sworn to
uphold._

_From 1965-1967 I was on the field staff of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC). In those bygone days I was known as that
"skinny kid" (alas, no longer), and was commonly acknowledged to be
the worst singer in SCLC.]_

About the Author & Artist [[link removed]]

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

_MICHAEL GOODWIN _is a freelance writer who has always loved comics
and history. His interest in history led him to an interest in the
economic forces that underlie much of history, and he eventually
started reading up on economics. In his initial reading, Mike thought
he caught glimpses of a story, a story nobody seemed to be telling.

That idea was little more than a hunch at first, but as he immersed
himself in the subject, Mike realized that there was in fact a story
there, and that someone needed to tell the story in an accessible
manner. He brought a stack of books to a small town in India, settled
in, and started reading, researching, and writing. The result is this
book.

Mike has spent several years in China as well as India; his previous
efforts include interpreting Chinese, writing comedy, photography,
disaster relief, dealing art (ineptly), and writing about medicine.
Like many freelance writers, he lives in New York City with cats.

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR

It would seem that _DAN E. BURR_ was born to this work, as examples
of early attempts at comic strip-like continuity exist from his
infancy. (Drawing pictures was “in the family” so the influence
to do so was ever present. )

After time spent mainly working in commercial art, Dan began to wade
into the comic book field. The breakthrough project was his
collaboration with author James Vance on the graphic novel _Kings in
Disguise_ and its sequel _On the Ropes_. Set during the Great
Depression, _Kings_ won several Eisner and Harvey awards and
garnered praise from _American Heritage_, _Time_, _Entertainment
Weekly_, the _New York Times Book Review_ and the _Comics
Journal_, among others.Dan also worked with the author on the
sequel, _On the Ropes_.

Dan has illustrated historical pieces for DC Comics, Kitchen Sink
Press and Eureka Productions’ Graphic Classics series. He has
worked in a variety of fields including newspaper and magazine
illustration, editorial cartooning, children’s publishing,
advertising and product design.

His work in _Economix_ was influenced by the team of artists who
worked on Harvey Kurtzman’s _MAD_; by David Levine; and by the
work of the late 50’s and early 60’s Hanna-Barbera staff, as well
as other children’s book and commercial artists from that
period. Listening to music, primarily from the 1920’s through the
1970’s is also a major inspirational influence. Dan has
occasionally written liner notes for CD music reissue and is
passionate about compiling, studying, and appreciating the works of
other illustrators, cartoonists and painters.

He lives in Milwaukee with his wife and art partner, Debra Freiberg.

 

THIS IS HOW BAD TRUMP WAS  --  50 WAYS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS
ERODED WORKERS’ RIGHTS WHILE BOLSTERING CORPORATE POWER

2020 Report from the Economic Policy Institute
[[link removed]]
September 16, 2020

A new EPI report
[[link removed]] provides
a comprehensive review of the Trump administration’s 50 most
egregious attacks on working people as part of a pro-corporate,
anti-worker agenda since President Trump took office.

The authors begin with recent actions and extend back to the beginning
of Trump’s presidency, first showing how Trump has failed to
adequately address the coronavirus pandemic and its economic shock.
The Trump administration has vehemently opposed the extension of the
$600 increase of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits—which
will cost 5.1 million jobs
[[link removed]]—and
additional aid to state and local governments—which will cost 5.3
million jobs
[[link removed]].

The report also shows how the Trump administration has failed to
protect the health of workers during the pandemic. Trump’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has failed to
enforce the Occupational Safety and Health Act or issue any required
measures to protect workers from the virus.

“The Trump administration’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic
marks the administration’s most glaring failure of leadership, but
it is in no way distinct from its approach to governing since
President Trump’s first day on the job. The administration has
systematically promoted the interests of corporate executives and
shareholders over those of working people and failed to protect
workers’ safety, wages, and rights,” said Celine McNicholas,
EPI’s director of government affairs and labor counsel and co-author
of the report.

Other notable Trump administration anti-worker actions include:

* Attacking workers’ wages: Preventing millions of workers from
receiving overtime by lowering the overtime threshold, proposing a
rule to allow employers to capture workers’ tips which would cost
workers more than $700 million annually, and denying workers a minimum
wage increase.
* Undermining workers’ collective bargaining rights: Obstructing
workers’ right to fair union elections, seeking to take away
graduate student workers’ right to organize and bargain, and
narrowing the joint-employer standard under the National Labor
Relations Act.
* Putting forward anti-worker nominees and appointees in the U.S.
Supreme Court, Department of Labor, and National Labor Relations
Board.

“President Trump claimed he would fight for workers, but his actions
and policies have cost workers wages, undermined their right to
organize unions, and failed to protect their health and safety on the
job,” said Lynn Rhinehart, EPI’s senior fellow and co-author of
the report. “This report shows the real record and exposes Trump’s
repeated attacks on workers.”

“The pandemic has merely provided the administration another
opportunity to continue its attacks on workers’ rights. Instead of
instituting policies to protect the nation’s essential workers, the
administration has undermined workplace safety standards,” said
Margaret Poydock, EPI’s policy associate and co-author of the
report. “It is critical that a new administration work with the same
diligence to reverse Trump’s anti-worker policies and also advance a
workers’ agenda that provides working people with the rights and
protections they need and deserve.”

Join Denver/Boulder JVP for a panel discussion and Q&A with local
Jewish movement elders from the Palestine Liberation Movement. Stories
will call attention to lessons learned through Jewish anti-occupation
organizing in Colorado starting in the 1980s (i.e. New Jewish Agenda).

As our movements continue to push for a Free Palestine, it is critical
that we learn from those who organized (and continue to organize) for
the same purpose. May these stories guide us in sustaining our
movements and equip our work with wisdom from past struggles.

UNDERSTANDING MONSTERS: FASCIZATION, GREEN CAPITALISM, AND SOCIALISM
 --  NOVEMBER 15  -- BERLIN  (ROSA-LUXEMBURG-STIFTUNG)

 

[[link removed]]

What times are we living in
[[link removed]]?
We are experiencing a new social situation, in which many alternate
developmental paths appear to be closed off, and the Left in many
countries finds itself on the defensive. At the same time, the
situation is contested — debate is increasingly polarized, sometimes
even violent.

Social contradictions remain unresolved: a green variety of capitalism
struggles to emerge, albeit one that could hardly deal with the coming
crises and catastrophes adequately anyway. A new bloc confrontation
between East and West, war, and rearmament are gobbling up the
resources we need to deal with the escalating social, ecological, and
economic crises. Authoritarian projects and growing fascization spread
resentment, fear, and everyday violence, while many left-wing projects
find themselves squeezed between outdated late neoliberalism, blocked
ecological modernization, and the radical right.

What are the decisive dynamics in times of crises, war, and
catastrophes? How is the balance of forces developing? What future
societies remain possible? What is hindering progressive development?
And most importantly: what strategies and alternatives does a
socialist Left need to regain action and effectiveness in these times
of transformation?

At this conference, we will seek to develop a concrete analysis of the
concrete situation, linked to the search for left-wing strategies and
(eco-)socialist perspectives
[[link removed]].
To this end, we have invited a range of international speakers to
create a space together for a diagnosis of the times.
