"We teach them to take their patriotism at second-hand; to shout with the largest crowd without examining into the right or wrong of the matter - exactly as boys under monarchies are taught and have always been taught. We teach them to regard as traitors, and hold in aversion and contempt, such as do not shout with the crowd, and so here in our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place - the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else's keeping."

Treason is Not Old News, Mainstream Media Wants to Trivialize McClellan Story
by Valerie Plame Wilson and Joe Wilson 11/22/7 to

"I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors."
~George Herbert Walker Bush, CIA dedication ceremony, April 26, 1999.

When Bush administration officials I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Karl Rove, Richard Armitage and Ari Fleischer betrayed Valerie Plame Wilson's identity as a covert CIA operations officer, they fell into the category of "the most insidious of traitors." Now we learn from the president's former press secretary, Scott McClellan, that the president himself "was involved" in sending him out to lie to the American public about the betrayal. If his direction to McClellan was deliberate and knowing, then the president was party to a conspiracy by senior administration officials to defraud the public. If that isn't a high crime and misdemeanor then we don't know what is...

She suffers from on-the-job kidney damage and lead poisoning from her years of exposure to toxic chemicals. She earns six dollars a day on which she must support herself and her three children.

Starting in the 1960s the U.S. and Mexican governments initiated a trade agreement allowing components for everything from batteries, IV tubes, toys to clothes to be imported duty-free into Mexico, assembled there and then exported back duty-free as finished consumer goods for sale in the U.S. Tijuana became known as the television capital of the world, “TV-juana.” Globalization promised jobs, and working class Mexicans uprooted their lives to flock to the northern frontier in search of better paying work. After a decades long boom in 2001, Tijuana suffered a recession as corporations chased after even cheaper labor in Asia...

...A few decades ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) tried to end a malaria epidemic in Borneo by using DDT to wipe out the local mosquito population. Unfortunately, there were unintended consequences, just as Rachel Carson had described in Silent Spring. In the case of Borneo, the DDT also wiped out the wasps that controlled the local thatch-eating insects, with the result that many of the roofs on the Bornean homes started to cave in. Meanwhile, the DDT accumulated in the local lizard population, which caused the cats that ate the lizards to die, thereby unleashing a ferocious infestation of rats. Ultimately, WHO was forced to parachute in 14,000 new cats to control the rats in what was known officially as Operation Cat Drop.
The story illustrates the high price of linear thinking...

An inconvenient, dirty truth about cheap and plentiful coal

...If you want to make money and don't mind spitting up black phlegm and destroying the planet, buy coal. While the energy markets and the media are obsessed with rising oil prices, the developing world is quietly gearing up for a coal development and consumption spree of astounding proportions. The energy markets of tomorrow are not about oil and hydrogen and wind turbines spinning lazily on ridges. They're about coal, which is cheap and plentiful but also the worst news for the environment that you could imagine...

feeding the revolution

Grow a bit of your own food

Crush a freshly picked mint leaf and smell it. Those few thousand molecules from the plant that get into your nose will actually change your brain waves to make you more alert. Now check out the price of a one ounce sprig of "fresh" mint (likely wilting because it was picked days ago) - $1.99 last time I looked. That's about 30 dollars a pound. There's a wake-up call for you. Mint is so easy to grow gardeners call it a weed.

Drastic rises in food prices are coming. The Earth's 6+ billion people are competing for food, the production of which is being tied up by a narrowing group of corporations whose bottom lines necessitate viciously unfair stifling of competition and trade. As with other problems, were we humans cooperating we could solve the problem of hunger. But - like children fighting over a toy or hogs nipping at each other at the feed trough - our inability to cooperate is making it so that there will be less and less good quality food to go around. The toy breaks, the feed ends up in the mud rather than the trough, and more and more of God's children go hungry. Think food costs too much now? The decline of honeybees and other insects needed to pollinate so many of our crops is only one of many interacting ecosystem changes that will make it even more difficult to maintain a stable food supply.

To me it seems there's no conflict between science and religion. Everything is connected to everything else by cause and effect. If we want to be on God's short list we have to behave certain ways. Invest your time and resources in feeding people and you'll be less likely to run out of food yourself. Prepare to fight and you'll probably end up fighting. Grow some of your own food, with your own resources, and you won't as much bid up it's price in the marketplace.

Our relationship with nature can become less violent. Some of those weeds are edible and don't need to be eradicated. Get someone to point out the edible ones to you. Weed around an edible weed you want to give it more room to grow. Put some good organic plant food such as grass clippings around it. In a thick enough layer grass clippings or other mulch will prevent other unwanted plants from growing near your food plant.

Mint is easy to grow. I have four or five different kinds of mint plants I'd be happy to share with anyone. Catnip, horseradish, french sorrel, borage, purslane, garlic, leek, onion, and others can be harvested in such a way as they keep growing so you don't have to replant. And, once established they come back the next year. All can be added to soups and salads.

But my favorite plant this year is lamb's quarters. Here's a plant that you don't have to plant because it's a weed and comes up by itself. If you give it enough room and good soil it will grow as big as a small Christmas tree. Bugs and other critters don't like it much, so you don't have to worry over it like other crops. And, when you want to harvest some just cut off and cook like spinach the end of each branch. The plant will keep on producing. You can rinse and freeze in ziploc bags. And it's 40% protein. I like the taste as much as spinach or collards. And I had way more than I could eat or store from 4 plants.

LiveFuels Inc., a company developing fuels from algae, raised $10 million in its first round of venture funding.

David Gelbaum of the Quercus Trust led the round. His brother, Daniel Gelbaum, who is also an investor, is on the LiveFuels board of directors.

Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones is CEO of the Menlo Park company, which aims to produce biocrude oil from algae by 2010. She founded the company with her husband, Dave Jones, and they seeded it with $1 million of their own money.

Other companies seeking to make fuel from algae include Solazyme, also based in Menlo Park, and GreenFuel Technologies in Cambridge, Mass.

You can't have too much of a good thing, so let me just quote Mike Davis from 1998 to introduce Mike Davis 2007 on the California fires. In Ecology of Fear, his 1998 book on southern California, he wrote just about everything you'd ever need to know if you didn't want to be surprised by the raging Santa Ana-driven wildfires of 2003 or 2007. After all, there's nothing new about the burning phenomenon on what Davis then dubbed "the fire coast." "A great Malibu firestorm," he wrote, "could generate the heat of three million barrels of burning oil at a temperature of 2,000 degrees." No wonder Cold War era researchers used those California fires to model the behavior of nuclear firestorms.

What remains eternally new (and yet utterly predictable, once you've read Davis) is the increasing amount of tinder we put in the way of such fires in "the suburban-chaparral border zone where wildfire is king" -- and then the fierce fire-suppression campaigns that new, wealthy homeowners in their privatized, gated communities, McMansions, and McCastles demand, which only build further the fuel for the fires that, even in the 1990s, were "becoming ever more apocalyptic." Oh yes, and another thoroughly predictable thing: After hundreds, or thousands, of houses burn, the search for villains begins not among the politicians and developers, pushing human habitation ever deeper into the lands of the firestorm, but for arsonists, "although probably not more than one in eight blazes is caused by arson." The shape of the shape-shifting arsonist has changed over the years: more or less in historical order, according to Davis, they have been Indians, sheepherders, tramps, Wobblies, Okies, "Axis saboteurs," and, in our own time, environmentalists, (indirectly) endangered and protected species, gays, and terrorists. The search for arsonists is, of course, on again -- and one has so far been identified, a boy, possibly only 10 years old, playing with matches whose case is now being turned over to the district attorney for possible prosecution.

And finally, it's predictable that "the essential land-use issue, the rampant, uncontrolled proliferation of firebelt suburbs," is ignored; while, in the rush to fight the ensuing fires, vast sums of taxpayer money are functionally spent on luxury enclaves and gated hilltop suburbs. As Davis concluded back in 1998, but might as well have written last night, "Needless to say, there is no comparable investment in the fire, toxic, or earthquake safety of inner-city communities. Instead, as in so many things, we tolerate two systems of hazard prevention, separate and unequal."

And the worst of it is that "fire itself accelerates gentrification" in those former wildlands. Charred hillside? All the better to build, my dear...

The fate of prophets is, of course, to be ignored. Nobody raises statues to them. -- Tomdispatch Editor, Tom Engelhardt

San Diego Builds a Statue to an Arsonist Developers with Matches

By Mike Davis

This August, just as the first Santa Ana winds bent the boughs of the eucalyptus trees in Balboa Park, 500 wealthy business people and Republican Party donors raised their champagne glasses to salute "Mr. San Diego," Pete Wilson, as he unveiled a bronze statue of himself in downtown's Horton Plaza. Wilson, of course, was the controversial, immigrant-baiting governor of California during the nineties; but the statute specifically apotheosizes his role as the political catalyst for San Diego's "downtown renaissance" during his earlier three terms as mayor of the city (1971-1983).

The 74-year-old Wilson, whose preppy appearance leads strangers to mistake him for an aging member of the Kingston Trio, recalled the bad old days -- before million-dollar condos and billionaire developers took over downtown -- when the nearby "Gaslight District" was a "haven for saloons and tattoo parlors." He praised the memory of his friend and crucial ally in remaking downtown, developer Ernest Hahn, whose statue adjoins his. But it was difficult to make out his words since, across the plaza, several hundred demonstrators, an inspiring coalition of young Latinos and gays, were beating drums, blowing whistles, and chanting "racist!" Some of Wilson's admirers blistered, but Mr. San Diego was characteristically gracious about free speech: "Horses asses," he laughed.

Lewis, SJ, Appalachian Institute and Justice and Peace in Our Times club at Wheeling Jesuit University and Ohio Valley P.E.A.C.E. are co-sponsoring "Pieces for Peace and Justice in Iraq and Appalachia: Connecting the Dots", a free festival to be held the last weekend in October, 2007, (October 24-26) on the WJU campus in Wheeling, WV.

The keynote speaker and musician will be Si Kahn, a well-known folk singer and organizer whose work resounds with Appalachian culture. Other musical performances will include “Emma’s Revolution” and local bands.

“This free festival is an opportunity for people of all ages to learn about exploitation of our local resources, such as coal, and our national resources, such as our young people fighting in Iraq, for the financial gain of corporate interests,” says Ron Teska, one of the festival organizers. “Bring the whole family. This is our children’s future we’re talking about here.”
There will be informational tables for many groups including Iraq Veterans Against the War and Coal River Alliance. Free documentary films such as "Iraq for Sale," "Black Diamond," "Beyond Treason" and "Sludge” will be shown with panel discussions following. Non-profit groups interested in having a table at the fair can contact Ron Teska at teska397@yahoo.com

A People's Choice Art Show will encourage and support artists from our local high schools, colleges and communities by displaying pieces that reflect a desire for peace, justice, and enlightenment in the coal fields and mountains of Appalachia as well as the sands of Iraq and the Middle East. For more information on submitting art for the show, contact Pat Jacobsen at patnjake@sprynet.com.

Si Kahn has been an organizer in Appalachia for several decades with experience in improving the lives of its residents, educating the world about Appalachian culture and confronting privatization forces that threatens Appalachia and democracy itself. He is also the co-author, with Elizabeth Minnich, of the book “The Fox in the Henhouse.”
