  • DSA's Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism
    DSA’s Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism Committee April 2017 At the last national convention DSA committed itself to holding an organizational discussion on its relationship to the Socialist International leading up to the 2017 convention. The structure of this mandatory discussion was left to DSA’s internationalism committee. The following sheet contains information on the Socialist International, DSA’s involvement with it, the options facing DSA, and arguments in favor of downgrading to observer status and withdrawing completely. A. History of the Socialist International and DSA The Socialist International (SI) has its political and intellectual origins in the nineteenth century socialist movement. Its predecessors were the First International (1864-1876), of ​ ​ which Karl Marx was a leader, and the Second International (1889-1916). In the period of ​ the Second International, the great socialist parties of Europe (particularly the British Labour Party, German Social Democratic Party, and the French Section of the Workers International) formed and became major electoral forces in their countries, advancing ideologies heavily influenced by Marx and political programs calling for the abolition of capitalism and the creation of new systems of worker democracy. The Second International collapsed when nearly all of its member parties, breaking their promise not to go to war against other working people, rallied to their respective governments in the First World War. The Socialist Party of America (SPA)—DSA’s predecessor—was one of the very few member parties to oppose the war. Many of the factions that opposed the war and supported the Bolshevik Revolution came together to form the Communist International in 1919, which over the course of the 1920s became dominated by Moscow and by the 1930s had become a tool of Soviet foreign policy and a purveyor of Stalinist orthodoxy.

  • The Maltese Double Cross Transcript
    The Maltese Double Cross Transcript Lockerbie resident (man) I thought it was an earthquake, actually. And then - I were actually out, and as I said I looked up and I seen the engine coming down. They were about fifty yards from my house, and the plane’s away at the other end of the town. Lockerbie resident (woman) Oh my God, it was terrible, and then sparks, and then the whole thing went down. Martin Cadman, father of William Cadman In February, 1990, with some others from the UK families’ group, I met the American President’s Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism at the American Embassy. That was in February 1990. And at the end of that meeting, after we had broken up, one of the members of the Commission said to me, “Your government and ours know exactly what happened, but they’re never going to tell.” Narrator In the beginning; a hand, a bag, and a baggage tag. And a radio that plays cassettes, and has its own flipside, a bomb. Most of what we read in the papers is true, but no official party is going to tell you what’s true and what isn’t true.

  • Critical Geopolitics of Foreign Involvement in Namibia: a Mixed Methods Approach
    CRITICAL GEOPOLITICS OF FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT IN NAMIBIA: A MIXED METHODS APPROACH by MEREDITH JOY DEBOOM B.A., University of Iowa, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of Geography 2013 This thesis entitled: Critical Geopolitics of Foreign Involvement in Namibia: A Mixed Methods Approach written by Meredith Joy DeBoom has been approved for the Department of Geography John O’Loughlin, Chair Joe Bryan, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Abstract DeBoom, Meredith Joy (M.A., Geography) Critical Geopolitics of Foreign Involvement in Namibia: A Mixed Methods Approach Thesis directed by Professor John O’Loughlin In May 2011, Namibia’s Minister of Mines and Energy issued a controversial new policy requiring that all future extraction licenses for “strategic” minerals be issued only to state-owned companies. The public debate over this policy reflects rising concerns in southern Africa over who should benefit from globally-significant resources. The goal of this thesis is to apply a critical geopolitics approach to create space for the consideration of Namibian perspectives on this topic, rather than relying on Western geopolitical and political discourses. Using a mixed methods approach, I analyze Namibians’ opinions on foreign involvement, particularly involvement in natural resource extraction, from three sources: China, South Africa, and the United States.

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

Participants When one examines all the foreign policy issues likely to face the next U.S. administration, southern Africa, while inherently difficult, may be the most promising of all in terms of actually influencing positive developments and obtaining measurable results in a short time span. Current policies have begun to capitalize on a tentative movement among nations in the region to address certain situations which are prohibiting stabilization. However, with the existence of an international consensus concerning the illegality of the occupation of Namibia and the dehumanization of the policy of apartheid more could be done to advance a multilateral approach toward southern Africa. In short, a real opportunity to bring peace to a troubled region is being missed. Part of the problem is lack of accurate information and understanding of what is happening in the region. Advocacy and passion have often clouded or distorted reality. This past March, former Governor William Milliken and I were co-chairmen of "Myth, Reality, and the Future in Southern Africa: Challenges for a New Administration," a policy briefing sponsored by The Carter Center of Emory University and the Ford Foundation.

As well as having a very successful medical technology company, he ran training programmes for the Saudi military, supplied computers with a secret spying capability to the unwitting Soviets (via Raisa Gorbachev) and had a model agency that supplied the first Miss USSR. In May 2000, not long after the start of the Lockerbie trial, the defence lawyers got wind of Fuisz, via an associate of his, Susan Lindauer, who said that he had been based in Syria in 1988 and had irrefutable intelligence that Lockerbie was the work of the PFLP‐GC. Lindauer also said that he was the subject of a gagging order, a breach of which would result in a significant prison sentence.

  • With JUVAL AVIV INTERVIEW So Much About Juval Aviv Is Unconfirmable Or Comes Tagged with That Highly Annoying Cop-Out Caveat “Based on True Events”
    20 |21.07.06|pressgazette.co.uk| with JUVAL AVIV INTERVIEW So much about Juval Aviv is unconfirmable or comes tagged with that highly annoying cop-out caveat “based on true events”. Apparently, he was a lethal Mossad assassin who led Israel’s revenge attacks on the PLO terrorists responsible for the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre, but there is no official corroboration. Aviv’s (apparent) activities were the inspiration for the 1984 book Vengeance, and he was a consultant to Steven Spielberg on the movie Munich, which was based on the book. The lead character, Avner, is meant to be him. Canadian author George Jonas and Spielberg were satisfied with Aviv’s authenticity, but his exact involvement in either project is conveniently inked out. To add to the confusion, Aviv has written a novel about a newspaper tycoon who is murdered while on his yacht (the plot details are CLASSIFIED), but any suspicion that this is about Robert Maxwell would mean it’s your medication time. What is indisputable is that Aviv, now 59, was an Israeli army major and is now a top corporate private investigator living in New York. He has recouped billions in cash and probed the Lockerbie bombing and the Daily Mirror pension scandal. A father of two, Aviv is 5ft 11, heavy set, with a handshake that squeezes like a python limbering up to prepare dinner.

  • The Olof Palme Assassination Was Real
    return to updates The Olof Palme Assassination was Real... ...Ly Fake. I so got you! by Miles Mathis October 28, 2019 In this case, I just wrote the title before even doing the research. After knowing what we now know, we can pass by this one at 80 miles per hour and tell it is fake just from the stench, like passing a dead skunk on the road. It helps that we are coming here hot on the heels of my destruction of the Norway/Breivik fake, since we get a lot of cross pollination. As just the most obvious example, Palme's second wife was Lisbet Beck-Friis. We saw both those names there several times. Breivik is a Friis, and many Becks were involved in the event and backstory. Palme is the Swedish Prime Minister allegedly assassinated in 1986. The story has been compared to the JFK assassination many times. We will start on Palme's Wikipedia pages, as usual, linking out from there. Palme's bio leads with many red flags, which is unusual. Normally they take some pains to scrub genealogy links at Wikipedia, but on Palme's page they admit he is also a von Sydow and Wallenberg. His grandmother was the Baroness von Born-Sarvilahti, which means Palme is descended from King Frederick I of Denmark and Norway. Palme's mother is a von Knieriem, of Russian nobles. Her great-grandfather was attorney general of the Russian Senate. So before moving on, let's expand that. Wiki gives you the raw information, but doesn't tell you what it means.
