  • Of Warmongers, Fake News and the Deep State
    Stratcepts Paper 20200103 Copyright Stratcepts.net 2019 Of Warmongers, Fake News And The Deep State Stratcepts Team1* Abstract Recently, the three terms in the title have become part of American mainstream discussion, highlighted by a sharp public exchange between former US Secretary of State and Senator from New York, Ms. Hillary Clinton, and Presidential Candidate, National Guard Major and Hon. Congresswoman from Hawaii, Ms. Tulsi Gabbard. This article collects observations over the past decade from the public media in an attempt to understand some of these issues. The ’mainstream media’ narrative is that America is supporting the People of Syria to fight against oppression - from the ‘Regime’ of the ‘Brutal Dictator Assad’ and the Islamic State (ISIS). The ISIS also attacks the people of Iraq. Iranian ‘terrorists’ are interfering by helping the ‘Regime’ to oppress the Syrian people between poison gas attacks and bombing children. They are also impeding American efforts to save the Iraqi people from the ISIS. Saudi Arabia and Turkey are Allies of America, helping in the Coalition along with NATO nations and Israel, to fight. Someone. The Coalition is also bombing Yemen. And Libya. And Syria. The Russians are also meddling by helping the Brutal Dictator and the Iranians. All of this impeded President Obama’s sworn mission to degrade and eventually to destroy the ISIS. But despite all this, the Coalition has been winning. The ISIS has been defeated. Against this narrative, a few maverick voices have struck a discordant note. Senator Black of Virginia, before he retired, pointed out that the Christian minority in Syria depends on President Assad’s protection for survival against the Islamic extremists.

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication The Gendering of Victimhood: Western media and the Sinjar genocide1 Veronica Buffon and Christine Allison2 Abstract This article adopts a gender perspective on war, problematising media attention on Yezidi women since the attacks by ISIS. Sinjari Yezidis’ narratives/subjectivities since 2014 are silenced in Western media reports in favour of a “hyper-visibility” of women’s “injured bodies”, which mobilises a specific narrative of victimhood. Reports from UK and US broadsheet newspapers, plus the BBC, CNN and online publications are analysed, plus new data gathered through fieldwork among Yezidis in Northern Iraq. Western media draw on and reproduce cultural and gender representations, reinstating relations of power infused with orientalist and patriarchal tropes. The focus on women’s bodies moves attention away from the workings of namûs “honour” and the suffering of Yezidi men. Some Yezidi women who became activists, speaking as victims, are heard internationally; the compromises this entails are discussed in light of Fassin and Rechtman’s work on the politics of victimhood Introduction This article contributes to the literature on western representations of non-western women in conflict by considering western media reporting of the Sinjar genocide of 2014.

  • 175 — July 5, 2012
    FRIENDS OF THE MIDDLE Newsletter #175 — JULY 5, 2012 Welcome to always lively political discussion and whatever else comes up. http://www.FriendsOfTheMiddle.org [email protected] INDEX: Click here. Republican Patriotism: M.I.A. (posted by Steven W. Baker / SteveB, July 5, 2012) Where has the patriotism of the Right gone? Where is that fervor to create a great nation by doing the unthinkable—paying a little more taxes? Read my lips: NEW TAXES! It’s what a great nation needs to stay great. It always worked in the past, until the great Republican “conservative” experiment in deficit government inspired by Ronald Reagan, but mainly implemented by George W. Bush. Today, I thought Robert Reich’s Independence Day words were almost equally pertinent to the day after. Doesn’t true patriotism, after all, demand something other than selfishness and self-aggrandizement? “Patriotism July 4, 2012” by Robert Reich, NationofChange July 4, 2012, (http://www.nationofchange.org/patriotism-july-4-2012-1341408560) In the last two weeks, the Supreme Court has allowed police in Arizona to demand proof of citizenship from people they stop on other grounds (while throwing out the rest of Arizona’s immigration law), and has allowed the federal government to require everyone buy health insurance — even younger and healthier people — or pay a penalty. What do these decisions — and the national conversations they’ve engendered — have to do with patriotism? A great deal. Because underlying them are two different versions of American patriotism. The Arizona law is aimed at securing the nation from outsiders. The purpose of the heatlhcare law is to join together to provide affordable health care for all.

    The Cost of Engagement: Politics and Participatory Practices in the U.S. Liberty Movement Liana Gamber Thompson, Ph.D. A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project Civic Paths Annenberg School For Communication and Journalism University of Southern California December 10, 2012 Cover Photo: Taylor Metting, 2011 Executive Summary In the past decade, young libertarians in the U.S., or members of the Liberty Movement as it is called, have utilized new media and technology along with more traditional modes of organizing to grow their movement, capitalizing on the participatory nature of the internet in particularly savvy and creative ways. Still, the Liberty Movement is quite unlike more progressive, grassroots movements, with its organizations and participants sometimes relying on established institutions for various forms of support. As this report highlights, the Liberty Movement represents a hybrid model, one that embraces participatory practices and interfaces with formal political organizations and other elite institutions. This case study outlines the: Relationship between institutional supports and participatory modes of engagement in the Liberty Movement Choices those in the Liberty Movement make about their use of online/offline spaces Role of community in supporting learning and organizing through the Liberty Movement, despite members’ active embrace of individualism Paths toward involvement in the Liberty Movement, including especially the roles of mentors and educators Political rationales
