Would history reveal the efforts of Arab Americans helping the U.S. win the War on Terror? Would it also reveal that so many of them were wrongfully targeted by the same government, or sometimes, by fellow citizens?
Dr Beverly Lanzetta will present a lecture on the current state of spiritual belonging, the emergence of new spiritual consciousness, and the importance of spiritual wisdom in the global community.

Health care reform is badly needed. Many Americans have no or very limited access to care, other are paying so much for care they cannot afford housing, food, or other necessities, still others get care but the quality is dangerously poor. 80,000 Americans a year die in Auto accidents; 200,000 a year die of avoidable medical errors. This is an evaluation and contrast b/w the two reforms currently being considered.
We have forgotten to raise the Why-questions, questions children ask us again and again. Why did we believe for years money grows on trees and can be multiplied at will without seeing that the branch on which we sit has broken through our own debt burden? Why was the economic elite silent for years about intrigues?
What took you so long, Thom?

President Obama is a friend of the working people... one day a year. The rest of the year he is rewarding banks with bailouts and war contractors with more war. On Labor Day, workers were offered nothing of substance, just kind words.
Obama began his speech by spending an excessive amount of time exaggerating the leadership abilities of both AFL-CIO officials and Ohio's Democratic representatives. The motive was simple: the "partnership" between organized labor and the Democratic Party is central to the languishing existence of the two-party system, while helping to keep the labor movement in an equal state of decline and decay.

The Supreme Court on September 9 hears a case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, that reopens the question of unlimited corporate money in our elections. In a stunning move, the Court will reach back and reconsider two other pivotal campaign finance cases settled long ago. The potential result? A century old pillar of campaign fiance doctrine could be swept away. Decision likely in spring of 2010.

Bowing to Republican muck-raking, Obama has apparently pressured Jones into resigning from the administration. But the original Obama-Jones environmental program, which Obama has mostly kept on the level of rhetoric, was never enough to begin with. Mass environmental action is needed!

Education is the great transformer (J.K.Galbraith). Ivan Illich was a life-giving iconoclast and philosopher. He said the helping professions often help themselves. People are afraid of walking around the block without a doctor's prescription; forced conformity is often passed off as education. Ivan Illich criticized modern industrial society as a threat to autonomy.
Around 50,000 people demonstrated against nuclear power in Berlin on Saturday as a poll projected the pro-nuclear conservatives of Chancellor Angela Merkel convincingly winning an election on 27 September, although a majority of Germans want nuclear electricity production stopped.
A highlight of the powerful protest on a rainy day in the downtown area of the capital were more than 350 farm tractors rumbling through, some of which had been driven in convoy hundreds of kilometres around nuclear dump sites in northern Germany. At one location during the trek, the collapsing Morsleben underground nuclear dump, they were savagely attacked without cause by police using batons, tear gas, pepper spray and biting Alsatians. The police minister has apologised.
Trade, social development and foreign aid, along with other endeavors, have been used to further promote U.S. interest around the globe. In some cases, this has resulted in shared security goals and closer military cooperation which has led to U.S. involvement in the region. In the aftermath of the SPP's demise, beware of other initiatives that could take its place and advance economic, political, social, security and military integration, not only in North America, but the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

A qick update from Caracas Venezuela
this is a quick report from our first day in Caracas Videos willbe coming when I return in 8 days Peace Solidarity = Love
Since time immemorial, the US has been a land of hope and a spawning ground for paranoid fears. America has offered shelter from political and religious persecution to millions of people. President Ronald Reagan expanded the catalogue of America's potential enemies with an essential category: the state itself, "Big Government."
Mary McIlroy, a candidate in the California 10th Congressional District race, has strongly opposed the closure of the Toyota NUMMI plant; the plant closure would affect tens of thousands of workers in her district which covers Alameda and other surrounding counties. Mary McIlroy, the Peace and Freedom Party candidate, says, "It is not too late to save these jobs and save the plant from closing." Toyota has scheduled the plant closure for March 2010.
With Cindy in Martha's Vineyard
I spent but a short time with Cindy Sheehan as she carried her antiwar protest from an earlier time at Crawford, TX, to Martha's Vineyard, vacation spot for Obama and many other Democrat Party elite. As Cindy remarked, the real story was not that she was protesting Obama's wars but that the "leadership" of the peace movement did not support her protest. When the target was Bush in Crawford, she was all the rage with antiwar celebrities, but not so now that the target is Barack Obama. While there is considerable enthusiasm for her anti-Obama protest on the part of the rank and file in the anti-war movement, a refusal of its "leaders" to notify their members far and wide, high and low, crippled the action.
