  • Part I: Introduction
    Part I: Introduction “Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” -Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776) “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.” -Patrick Henry (1776) “I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.” -William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator (1831) “Gas is running low . .” -Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) 1 2 Dear Reader, Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon.

  • THE Plot AGAINST Pensions
    THE Plot AGAINST Pensions The Pew-Arnold campaign to undermine America’s retirement security – and leave taxpayers with the bill BY DAVID SIROTA F O R OurFuture.org F O R OurFuture.org 1825 K Street NW l Suite 400 l Washington DC 20006 l (202) 955-5665 Executive Summary This report evaluates both the general state of the national debate over pensions and the specific effects of the partnership between the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Public Sector Retirement Systems Project and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. The following is a summary of the report’s findings: Finding: Conservative activists are manufacturing the perception of a public pension crisis in order to both slash modest retiree benefits and preserve expensive corporate subsidies and tax breaks. n States and cities have for years been failing to fully fund their annual pension obligations. They have used funds that were supposed to go to pensions to instead finance expensive tax cuts and corporate subsidies. That has helped create a real but manageable pension shortfall. Yet, instead of citing such a shortfall as reason to end expensive tax cuts and subsidies, conservative activists and lawmakers are citing it as a reason to slash retiree benefits. Finding: The amount states and cities spend on corporate subsidies and so-called tax expenditures is far more than the pension shortfalls they face. Yet, conservative activists and lawmakers are citing the pension shortfalls and not the subsidies as the cause of budget squeezes. They are then claiming that cutting retiree benefits is the solution rather than simply rolling back the SHORTFALL IN PERSPECTIVE more expensive tax breaks and subsidies.

  • Influence of Fake News in Twitter During the 2016 US Presidential
    Influence of fake news in Twitter during the 2016 US presidential election Alexandre Bovet1;2;3, Hern´anA. Makse1;∗ 1) Levich Institute and Physics Department, City College of New York, New York, New York 10031, USA 2) ICTEAM, Universit´eCatholique de Louvain, Avenue George Lema^ıtre 4, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium 3) naXys and Department of Mathematics, Universit´ede Namur, Rempart de la Vierge 8, 5000 Namur, Belgium. * [email protected] Abstract The dynamics and influence of fake news on Twitter during the 2016 US presidential election remains to be clarified. Here, we use a dataset of 171 million tweets in the five months preceding the election day to identify 30 million tweets, from 2.2 million users, which contain a link to news outlets. Based on a classification of news outlets curated by www.opensources.co, we find that 25% of these tweets spread either fake or extremely biased news. We characterize the networks of these users to find the most influential spreaders of fake and traditional news and use causal modelling to uncover how fake news influenced the presidential election. We find that, while top influencers spreading traditional center and left leaning news largely influence the activity of Clinton supporters, this causality is reversed for the fake news: the activity of Trump supporters influences the dynamics of the top fake news spreaders. 1 Introduction Recent social and political events, such as the 2016 US presidential election [1], have been marked by a growing number of so-called \fake news", i.e. fabricated information that disseminate deceptive content, or grossly distort actual news reports, shared on social media platforms.

  • Flouting the Establishment
    Flouting The Establishment February 18, 2020 Category: Domestic Politics Download as PDF If those who are not ideologically-committed to the ultra-right-wing want a desirable outcome in the 2020 presidential election, it is important they understand why NON-ultra-right-wing endeavors (encompassing Progressives and corporatist Democrats alike) imploded four years earlier. It was not because the Democratic candidate was too far to the “Left”. And it certainly was not because she was too populist…let alone too Progressive. It was because Hillary Clinton–the only alternative to Donald Trump–was off- putting to many swing voters. There were two main reasons for this: She countenanced some of the daft pieties of political correct-ness, which many swing-voters found off-putting. As a corporatist Democrat, she was effectively the vicar of the very thing that on-the-fence voters were so set against: the “Establishment”. There were, of course, a confluence of factors that led to the disastrous outcome in 2016–among them: the glaring inauthenticity of Trump’s adversary (not to mention the DNC’s now-exposed machinations to prevent Bernie Sanders from receiving the Democratic nomination). {1} As I hope to show here, these two factors explain Clinton’s loss. Indeed, they represented things for which the rank and file had–and continues to have–contempt; and for very good reason. (The fact that Clinton ran what Barack Obama described as a “scripted, soul-less campaign” didn’t help either.) There are effectual and ineffectual ways to promote Progressive ideals; and the 2016 election illustrated–more than anything else–what NOT to do.

  • Olin Foundation in 1953, Olin Embarked on a Radical New Course
    THE CHRONICLE REVIEW How Right­Wing Billionaires Infiltrated Higher Education By Jane Mayer FEBRUARY 12, 2016 ​ If there was a single event that galvanized conservative donors to try to wrest control of higher ​ education in America, it might have been the uprising at Cornell University on April 20, 1969. That afternoon, during parents’ weekend at the Ithaca, N.Y., campus, some 80 black students marched in formation out of the student union, which they had seized, with their clenched fists held high in black­power salutes. To the shock of the genteel Ivy League community, several were brandishing guns. At the head of the formation was a student who called himself the "Minister of Defense" for Cornell’s Afro­American Society. Strapped across his chest, Pancho Villa­style, was a sash­like bandolier studded with bullet cartridges. Gripped nonchalantly in his right hand, with its butt resting on his hip, was a glistening rifle. Chin held high and sporting an Afro, goatee, and eyeglasses reminiscent of Malcolm X, he was the face of a drama so infamous it was regarded for years by conservatives such as David Horowitz as "the most disgraceful occurrence in the history of American higher education." John M. Olin, a multimillionaire industrialist, wasn’t there at Cornell, which was his alma mater, that weekend. He was traveling abroad. But as a former Cornell trustee, he could not have gone long without seeing the iconic photograph of the armed protesters. What came to be ​ ​ known as "the Picture" quickly ricocheted around the world, eventually going on to win that year’s Pulitzer Prize.

  • Removing Individual and Party Limits on Contributions to Presidential Campaigns
    Facing the Coordination Reality: Removing Individual and Party Limits on Contributions to Presidential Campaigns BY ZACHARY MORRISON* Since Citizens United, a new era of campaigning has emerged in which traditional campaign functions have been outsourced to candidate-centric outside groups. In the 2016 presidential election, ten campaigns had raised less money than their allied Super PACs and other outside groups. Federal election regulations that restrict coordination between these outside groups and campaigns are outdated and poorly enforced. American democracy is weakened by this unprecedented electoral activity because of decreased donor transparency, increased negativity without accountability, and voter confusion. This Note concludes, after examining outside group political activity in the 2012 and 2016 presidential cycles, that candidate-centric outside groups create the same risk of corruption as direct contributions to campaigns. Therefore, this Note proposes that proponents of stricter campaign finance regulation should consider removing limits on individual and political party contributions to presidential campaigns. Allowing individuals and parties to provide unlimited funds to campaigns would diminish the appeal of outside groups and increase the political pressure on campaigns to disavow their use. This realistic, if not pessimistic, proposal offers a simple legislative solution to some of the concerning elements of an increased reliance on outside groups, while * Farnsworth Note Competition Winner, 2019.

  • Brock's Word Against Hers
    Review Essay: Brock's Word Against Hers The Real Anita Hill: The Untold Story. By David Brock. New York: The Free Press, 1993. Pp. ix, 424. Jesselyn Alicia Brownt [Editors' Note: This October marks the second anniversary of the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the wake of those hearings, the war of words has intensifiedfollowing the publication of The Real Anita Hill. First, in early April, the Wall Street Journalpublished an excerpt of the book on its editorial page.' Days later Newsweek published a laudatory piece by George Will ("assembles an avalanche of evidence that Hill lied").' Fellow conservative Mona Charen also touted the book in her syndicated column ("if this book is buried or ignored, Justice Thomas will have been raped twice ).3 The counterattack has been just as aggressive. The May 24 issue of The New Yorker weighed in with a rejoinder to the Brock book entitled "The Surreal Anita Hill." Its authors, Jill Abramson and Jane Mayer of the Wall Street Journal, are in the process of writing their own book about the Hill/Thomas hearings.4 As the Washington Post reported, "Brock demanded equal time, sending the magazine an eight- page rebuttal. The New Yorker almost never prints replies, but Editor Tina Brown called in the magazine's famedfact-checking department, which produced a 48-point memo rebutting Brock's rebuttal." In "Sleaze With Footnotes," New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis t Jesselyn Brown is a member of the Class of 1995, Yale Law School. In 1990, she was one of the recipients of the Feminists of the Year Awards from the Feminist Majority Foundation.
