Pakistan: Reflections on the 67th Independence Day
Pakistan: Reflections on the 67th Independence Day
By Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
August 14, is the 67th independence day of Pakistan from the British colonial rule. When people and nations across the globe celebrate their independence day, they analyze a fair assessment of their present and past and try to focus on their ideas of the freedom movement and ideals of achievements, progress and to share a vision of the future – a picture of tomorrow- how the people and nation will appear or strive to pursue for the best of their national priorities. Pakistanis are not fortunate enough to demonstrate this vital historical record as part of their contemporary history and its legacy. Pakistan movement – the demand for freedom of a Muslim homeland in the sub-continent, was not an end itself of the struggle but a progressive movement of the people, by the people and for the people to achieve strategically important goals- the Freedom from colonial subjugation, and continue to march for the ultimate goals of a progressive nation-building, change and development to co-exist within the international community of civilized nations. What Mohammad Ali Jinnah- Qauid-e-Azam and his colleagues achieved under the circumstances was not an end of the Pakistan Movement but an initial stage of progress to be continued by the succeeding generations of morally and intellectually conscientious and educated and responsible Pakistanis. Perhaps, Quai-e-Azam and his immediate colleague like the first Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan, Miss Fatimah Jinnah, Sardar Abdur Rub Nishtar, Khawaja Nazamudeen and so many others were not conscious that future generations could betray the ideals of the Pakistan Movement. It is imperative, that we all must THINK – who we are, where we are and why and what needs to be done to move forward. Any critical analysis of the nation will engage critical questions and self-analysis of what happened and what went wrong and why?
Mohammad Ali Jinnah- Quaid-e-Azam was a visionary political leader of integrity and knew the well integrated essence of freedom and capacity-building of the nationhood. Nation-building is a rigorous task over ages. Jinnah continued to teach, focus and emphasize the moral and intellectual facets of freedom — Faith, Unity and Discipline. After Jinnah's sudden death, those who embraced the political power through backdoor conspiracies betrayed the moral and intellectual foundation of Pakistan. The British colonial master transferred the power to the Muslim League on August 14, 1947- the only time Pakistan's history witnessed a legitimate occasion of transfer of power, all those who came afterwards were feudal lords popped up by the legacy of British Raj or most incompetent and uneducated conspirators who saw the corridors of power through political intrigues, corruption and treachery to the principles of the Pakistani's Freedom Movement. Change and development are critical facts in the political pursuit of making a progressive nation.
Pakistan's freedom was besieged and its progress curtailed by the absolute rulers – the Generals and their accomplice feudal landlords- the cronies of the British Empire. Pakistan's history demonstrates turbulent and unpredictable chaotic developments undermining its movement for freedom, national interests and the future. Pakistan is under heavy foreign debts and foreign dictates in policies and practices. Pakistan is being governed by the wrong people, with wrong thinking and doing the wrong things. Pakistan Needs a navigational Change, away from the corrupt politics of the few egomaniacs and criminals called politicians. The priorities must be focused on developing a new system of economic and political governance by disconnecting the interdependence on foreign aid, debts and dictates. The nation is at its critical and painful juncture of very survival. Under the circumstances, what is there to celebrate? The symbolic Pakistan Independence Day celebrations will remain devoid of much needed change and reformation aim of the institutionalized corrupt system of governance. The core message is that Pakistan is in desperate need of a New Political System, New Political institutions, New Educated and Intelligent leadership befitting to the changing needs and aspirations of the people and Islamic values to ensure a viable future.
Pakistan's major problem rests with domestic powerpoltics. Those who grab the power through intrigues, political conspiracies, military coups, sectarian killings and large social-economic disruptions as is the on-going Pakistani elite supported and American-British led bogus War on Terror, would never cease to act or see an end to their hegemonic power control. For almost half of a century, Pakistani politics in groomed with military dictators and their FEW created and installed feudal lord families of the British colonial time- Bhuttos, Sharfis, Zardaris, Chaurdirs and of course, the military Generals themselves – the chief instigators of selfish governance and national decline. These are household names of hatred and disgrace to the thinking Pakistanis. The Nation that allows criminally indicted and most corrupt people to hold offices of national governance and responsibility cannot be viewed as Nation of moral values and honor. This is how East Pakistan was lost. The political curse and disintegration of the social, moral and intellectual culture goes on for ages without an end in view. Anyone who will challenge their powerhouse is labeled as "extremists", "fundamentalists" and most often "terrorists". The real terrorists are never publicly arrested or brought to law and justice. The IMF record shows that Pakistan owes some $70 billions in loan mostly in arrears unable even to make the interests-based annual installments. Nobody knows how and where these funds are utilized for the benefits of the people of Pakistan. It is public knowledge that Zardari, Ms. Bhutto and Sharif have stolen billions of dollars from the Pakistani lifelines and brought costly real estates in UK, France and Dubai and elsewhere but none can dare to stop theses criminals to payback to the nation. Ms. Bhutto and Zardari built a palace in Dubai, bought mansion in Surrey, UK, a palace in France and were indicted by Swiss court for money laundering scheme. Sharif twice dismissed on corruption charges is no stranger to filthy politics. Yet they returned to political power as if they self-claimed innocence had any credibility. With so much corruption, all is propagated as normal in public conscience.
The ordinary folks are still looking for recognition of basic human needs, rights, equality, security and justice. There are full time high life privileges for the affluent class but nothing for the ordinary citizens except demonstrations, social and intellectual deprivation and lost sense of identity. How would the nation reconnect itself to the forgotten purpose and meaning of the Lahore Resolution of March 1940 for an independent Pakistan? How would the succeeding generations imagine what challenges prompted to plan and organize the Pakistan's freedom movement?
Unless the THINKING PEOPLE of the Pakistani Freedom Movement and Foundational Values reactivate their thoughts and energies for a Navigational Change, the Nation is at critical crossroads for its own fragmentation and by its own so called monstrous political leaders. How to Change the political cruelty and tyranny of the FEW unto ANEW value-based political system of institutions, responsible leadership and governance? Pakistan desperately NEEDS people of New Vision, New Ideas and political imagination to safeguard the freedom of the nation from ultimate chaos and ruins. Those part of the problems cannot be part of the solutions. Foreigners will not help Pakistan; their plans are working to disintegrate Pakistan. Nation's own future is at stake.
Western industrialized world has adapted the phenomenon of Change as a way of thinking and living. Islam subscribes to change as a precept of life. But ignorant and selfish rulers denied Islam its rightful place in Pakistani politics. Pakistan desperately needs a navigational change to return to its original roots of participatory democracy and a new foreign policy disconnecting its coercive partnership with the US-British led bogus War on Terrorism.
Leaders create leaders. Howard Zenn imagined the 'history as a weapon' and EH Carr highlighted the history as a tool for teaching and learning. Not so, Pakistani elite are abhorrent to the role of history, only to manipulate and maximum the self-interest and to deprive the masses. Cruelty knows no bound as for half of a century Pakistani nation failed to produce a single enlightened, intelligent or credible leader to lead. The Generals, Bhuttos, Sharifs and Zardari are not the leaders but bootlickers of the West and the by-products of the neo-colonial military rule. Those so-called self-appointed leaders who have been living on stolen wealth and borrowed time, how could they offer any proactive leadership vision for change, reformation and nation-building? There is nothing to celebrate on the independence day except a time for soul searching – grab the mirror if you can or have the rational mind to reflect at our own wrong thinking and incapacitated state of the national affairs, so helpless that instead of being active reformers, most have succumbed to be pacifist spectators. Pakistan needs change but there is no systematic mechanism to foresee or visualize a democratic plan for political change and future-building. More than 30 years earlier while a student in America, this author wrote to General Zia ul-Haq, "what would our history say, why the succeeding generations of Muslims failed to produce leaders like Salahuddin, Allama Iqbal, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Qutb, Al-Mushraqi, and Mowdoodi? Only the martial law administrators who kept the nation together by law and order and nothing else." Gen Zia ul Haq replied without attempting to answer the focal question.
India and China are the emerging new superpowers, acknowledged and considered by the Western strategic policy interests and economic development agendas. Nations do develop where there is freedom of thoughts and action, open commerce and trade and honest and competent people come to assume the leadership role. Nobody would invest in a society governed by military Generals and indicted criminals like dead Ms Bhutto and Zardari, as they have neither relevance nor value in the contemporary global affairs.
America is a big game player in Pakistan and its security apparatus. The aid gimmick has kept Pakistan interdependent on the policy making of the US administration and a nation being viewed more liability than an asset to the American geo-political interests in that region. The US leaders allege Pakistani rulers (civilians and military) as "double dealers" paid, bribed but act contrary to the American dictates. The imagery that floats across the globe that Pakistani Generals and politicians are in the paid US basket and survive on its active support to rule Pakistan. The beggar nation that continues to be living at the mercy of the so called US aid money and foods, often defined as conspiracy to fighting proxy wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere. All that can go wrong have gone wrong with the system of Pakistani governance. Every one selling others, every one making cash dollars by trading-in the interests of the Muslim nation. It is business "as usual" and nobody seems to raise any eyebrows anymore in a culture of nuisance, filthy corruption, and non-Islamic governance claiming to be Islamic Republic of Pakistan. When corruption spreads, darkness prevails and people lose sense of direction. Nobody knows where Islam exists or is operative across Pakistan.
Worst crises have happened but the rulers and the nation seem to have ignored the necessity of political change. In its May 18, 2007, the New York Times published front page article that "Pakistani Generals are paid to do the job." That was General Musharaf and comrades, exposing the insanity of the "war on terrorism" that Pakistan embraced and the Generals made millions. The terms of reference clearly shows that the US intelligence network and the political leadership have full control over all the major affairs of governance in Pakistan. Zardari and the Pakistani Generals are the stooges of the US managed political chessboard. In May 2011, President Obama ordered attack at a compound in Abbottabad to kill Osma bin Laden.. It was a political killing as Bin Laden was not charged with any crimes anywhere or according to the American Constitution. Next day, CIA Chief Panetta thanked General Kiyani and President Zardari for their cooperation. Why Pakistani did not repulse the US attack on Abbottabad? Should Pakistanis not question Kiyani and Zardari for their involvement in this political massacre? It is not the first time that Pakistani rulers have sided with the aggressors. ZA Bhutto and Gen Musharaf came into power through this exercise. Do these cruel monsters have a future? Bruce Riedel, One of Obama's advisors on Pakistan and the War on Terrorism ("Battle for the Soul of Pakistan" 1/4/2013, Brookings Institute and Centre for Middle East Policy) calls it "2013 could be a transformative year for the country, indeed it will be the battle for the soul of Pakistan." He explains: "One measure of Pakistan's instability is that the country now has between 300 and 500 private security firms, employing 3,00,000 armed guards, most run by ex-generals." What makes the ex-Generals to create a culture of fear and insecurity? Is it the ex-Generals or the bogus War on Terror they have perpetuated? Is it that they draw their after service gratuities from such crime-riddled adventures? He adds that
"So, it is no wonder that the generals prefer to have the civilians responsible for managing the unmanageable, while they guard their prerogatives and decide national security issues. As important as the coming elections will be, the far more important issue is who will be the next Chief of Army Staff."
The corrupt institutionalized politics denies participation to educated, honest and intelligent Pakistanis. The nation has not learned any lesson from its own blood soaked tragedies. Ironically, dead Bhuttos, Zardari and Sharifs were candidates in the elections again and Sharif has conveniently replaced Zardari to form a new government. Nowhere in the civilized world are the criminals allowed to stand in political elections. Have the Pakistani people gone that much down the drains in thoughts, observations and wisdom? Do they have any honor left for the self? If so, they could not allow Musharaf, Zardari, Bhuttos and Sharifs to compete in the elections. The Pakistani nation must see the Mirror – look at itself straight, candidly and with fullest sense of moral, intellectual and political responsibility: who they were, where they are and where they are heading to? Or the Nation stands no chance for any recourse or coming out of the deadly political stunts of the few, time killing legal battles and the historical graveyards. If the nation was not complacent in all of these sadistic misfortunes – General Musharaf and his associates, Bhuttos, Zardaris and Sharifs and Chaudris could never have come into political power and to molestation of the moral, intellectual and spiritual culture and values of Islamic Pakistan. None of these political monsters have made any positive contributions toward a genuine functional democracy nor do they have any rational sense or knowledge of it. They are active again to grab the power and nothing else. History has a defined role and the present and future generations must give credence to these developments and learn to be aware of the future in waiting, and how best to make a navigational change to ensure independence and integrity of Pakistan.
The ideals of the Pakistan Freedom Movement must be revisited and incorporated into the making of the future. To undo the darkened past and reshape the present, Pakistan urgently NEEDS educated, visionary and proactive leadership and public institutions to rebuild its essential capacity to safeguard its integrity, survival and future as a Muslim Nation moving forward to pursue change and social and economic development infrastructures for the deprived people. The solution must come from the THINKING people of the new educated generation – the intelligent and proactive Pakistanis to facilitate HOPE and PROMISE for a sustainable future of the beleaguered nation. This should be the framework of the message and active agenda for change and reformation as the core of the celebration of the Pakistan's 67th Independence Day. At the top of the political agenda, should be the security of the nation and protection of life and human dignity of all the citizens of Pakistan. The intelligence networks appear to be old and too much aligned to the foreign interests. This must change and innovative public intelligence networks should be evolved to protect the unity and integrity of Pakistan. If there are mindful new politicians, they must focus to develop the national capacity to assure the global community that Pakistan could live, progress and achieve its futuristic economic-political goals without begging any more IMF loans and AID from the US. Self-reliance and self-development are critical to national development. Pakistan's image is tarnished. There must be an immediate end to belligerent US drone attacks on Pakistan and end to Pakistan's involvement in the US sponsored bogus War on Terror. These rulers must focus on restoration of political normalcy, trade, commerce and integration of people and movement for business across Pakistan. Any neglect will amount to dreadful treachery and violation of the principles and values of the Foundation of the Nation. If you reject cynicism, indifference and perversion, YOU (the people) have the capacity – YOU can do it. It is not too late, despite the odds and self-geared moral, political-economic ruins and increasing internal strife and sectarian bloodbaths, YES, you can be changed unto a strong progressive Nation under intelligent and honest new generation leadership fostering the ideas and ideals of Mohmmad Ali Jinnah, Quaid-e-Azam and reconnecting and integrating the present and future generations to the making of a promising Future. Now, it is up to YOU (the people) to make it or break it.

Parents sacrifice weekends and vacations to tournaments and specialty camps, spending thousands each year in this quest for the holy grail: A college athletic scholarship for their child. Unfortunately, the expectations of parents and athletes can differ sharply from the financial and cultural realities of college athletics, according to an analysis by the New York Times of previously undisclosed data from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.) and interviews with dozens of college officials.
For instance:
- Excluding the glamour sports of football and basketball, the average N.C.A.A athletic scholarship is nowhere near a full ride, amounting to only $8,707.
- In sports like baseball or track and field, the number is routinely as low as $2,000.
- Even when football and basketball are included, the average is $10,409.
- Tuition and room and board for N.C.A.A institutions often cost between $20,000 and $50,000 a year.
"People run themselves ragged to play on three teams at once so they could always reach the next level," says Margaret Barry of Laurel, Md., whose daughter is a scholarship swimmer at the University of Delaware. "They're going to be disappointed when they learn that if they're very lucky, they will get a scholarship worth 15 percent of the $40,000 college bill. What's that? $6,000?"

My husband certainly loved his new Gillette Razor and agreed to try out Gillette's Odor Shield products.
The technology in Gillette Odor Shield Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant and Gillette Odor Shield Body Wash makes worrying about Body Odor a non-issue. With these two simple steps to a guy's routine, he can nail his interview, attract the right girl to bring home to you, and keep him confident throughout his day. Gillette Odor Shield Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant and Gillette Odor Shield Body Wash feature Odor Shield technology that targets and neutralizes odor at the source to help eliminate body odor instead of just covering it up. Using Gillette Odor Shield Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant and Gillette Odor Shield Body Wash together offers ten times more coverage than using just anti-perspirant alone so you can perform under pressure.
My take: The Gillette Odor Shield Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant was his favorite product (and mine too). He likes how well it works, while I like how good it smells. The Odor Shield Body Wash made him squeaky clean.
Gillette has a new contest:
The Invasion Nation Challenge launched this past week and offers fans the opportunity to win prizes for submitting a video, or simply for voting on their favorites.
Capture it on video and submit it to the official Invasion Nation tab. Fans then vote on the video they like best. On Friday July 8 & 15, the video with the most weekly votes will be eligible for a special Young Gun 'Invasion of the Week' prize of $1,000 – plus autographed sports merchandise. The video with the most votes at the end of the contest will win $25,000!
Videos will be judged by Gillette Young Guns Ray Rice and Kyle Busch. Ray and Kyle will judge videos based on the entry they think is the most creative and entertaining. The winning videos will be featured on the Gillette ProGlide Invasion Challenge YouTube channel and in the Facebook video gallery.
I was not paid in any form of cash for this posting.
I did receive product or services to keep for my testing purposes

For a company that mounts only five productions a season, and has significant lacunae in its 54-year repertory, the Dallas Opera arguably went off-balance in programming Donizetti's three Tudor operas in as many seasons. Quite a few empty seats at Friday's opening of Anna Bolena, at the Winspear Opera House, suggested something less than audience enthusiasm.
Anna Bolena has enough drama to depend less than some bel canto operas on sheer vocal virtuosity. Stage director Stephen Lawless presents a court of Henry VIII so obsessed with power, sex and love that we almost overlook the shortage of dream voices for these roles. Costumer Ingeborg Bernerth supplies the Tudor finery, complete with codpieces for the men.
Actually, the stars of the show are music director Graeme Jenkins and the Dallas Opera Orchestra. With an uncanny sense of timing, tempo and tone, Jenkins gets playing as mercurially alive as the drama, fastidious and finely colored.
Denyce Graves brings her molten-lava mezzo, and wounded dignity, to the role of Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn's lady-in-waiting and her successor in Henry's quest for a queen who'll give him a male heir. She hasn't the agility for some passing coloratura demands, and her voice is a couple of sizes bigger than any other in the cast, but one luxuriates in the richness of tone and expressive nuance.
Hasmik Papian is a little too convincing as the has-been Anne, her soprano gone a little soft around the edges, her runs and frills sometimes blurred in vibrato. But she marshals her resources skillfully and caringly and plays the role to the hilt.
Oren Gradus is the aptly brutish Henry, his handsome bass balancing brass and beef. At less than fortissimo, Stephen Costello, as Anne's former lover Lord Percy, sings appealingly, and he has the money notes. But too much of the time he forces his tenor into a yell that isn't pretty.
Elena Belfiore looks cutely boyish in the trousers role of the court musician Smeton, but her attractive and nicely nuanced mezzo is compromised by a near-wobble. Mark McCrory is the capable Lord Rochefort, Aaron Blake the acidic Hervey.
As with the previous Maria Stuarda and Roberto Devereux, designer Benoît Dugardyn nominally sets the action in the Globe Theater. Now, though, all but the top two balconies are covered by movable wooden walls that help with vocal projection but give the stage the look of a barn or warehouse.
While the chorus, frequent onlookers on the drama, projects well enough from those balconies, solo voices there do not. At intermission everyone was complaining about the frequent and loudly creaky moves of those silly walls. Make them go away.
Setting most of the opera's finale behind one and two layers of prison bars is distracting, too. PLAN YOUR LIFE
Repeats at 2:00 p.m. Sunday and Nov. 14 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Saturday and Nov. 12 at Winspear Opera House, 2403 Flora St., Dallas $25 to $255. 214-443-1000, www.dallasopera.org.

Indian PM flies to Hyderabad after deadly blasts
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh flew Sunday to Hyderabad to visit some of the 117 injured in twin bombings last week which also killed 16 people.
"The prime minister is going to visit the injured in hospital and then he will be briefed by the (Andhra Pradesh state) chief minister," Singh's spokesman Pankaj Pachauri told AFP by telephone from the southern city.
Singh is also scheduled to visit the blast site in Dilsukh Nagar, where two bicycle bombs exploded within a few minutes of each other outside a cinema and a bus stand on Thursday evening, according to the Press Trust of India.
The premier has vowed to bring to justice the perpetrators of what he called a "dastardly" attack, the first major bombings in India since 2011.
The government was criticised in parliament on Friday by the opposition, which said the bombings had exposed systemic security failures at a time when India is on heightened alert.
Andhra Pradesh Home Minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy has said investigators have found "vital clues" but given no details.
Newspapers have pointed the finger at the Indian Mujahideen, a banned militant outfit which has claimed responsibility for previous attacks.
The fitting of the explosive devices to bicycles was similar to other attacks by the outfit, local media reports quoted investigators as saying.
The homegrown group has links to Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based militant outfit blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that claimed 166 lives, according to Indian intelligence officials.
New Delhi has long accused its neighbour of aiding and abetting the militant groups who have carried out attacks on Indian soil -- a charge that Pakistan rejects.

Notes from Seattle

If one thinks only of oneself, it is impossible to believe that one commits any errors and so one gets nowhere. That is why it is necessary to think of the others who will carry on the work. Only in this way does one prevent something being completed.

-Bertolt Brecht
Since Occupy Seattle voted to endorse the international call for a General Strike on May 1st, the mainstream media has not mentioned it once. That is, until the evening of April 26th. It was not until an arsonist attempted to torch of Bank of America that the networks were abuzz with the plans of shutting down capitalism on May 1st and the dangers of anarchists. In one particular broadcast made by the Mormon-controlled Kiro 7 News, the reporter made sure to hold a detourned Frosted Flakes poster in front of the camera and point at it, indicating to the public that the posters they have been seeing for two months have something to do with a minor char on the side of a Seattle bank.
...

The area around the bank, located in the Columbia City neighborhood, was filled with SPD, ATF, and FBI for hours. The pigs were on the roof making a spectacle, on the street picking up pieces of glass, and investigating what ultimately amounts to a smashed window and a scorch mark.
If I were a reactionary or filled with fear, I would either start rambling on about a police conspiracy or lauding the inherent beauty of such a gesture. In my opinion, this was probably someone who was angry and had never done anything like what they were about to do. But all possible conjectures, even my own, are completely meaningless. The only important thing to focus on is how the authorities, the media, and the capitalists they protect are going to use this manufactured hysteria to their advantage.

One of the ways they could do this is by promoting a climate of fear and distrust amongst the people who are most likely to come downtown on May 1st. Another way they could do this is by building a strong case in the public perception for a very blunt and utilitarian repression against everyone who intends to take the difficult and less traveled road away from the rituals of useless procession.
There are two main groups having events on May 1st. One of them is the May 1st Coalition, a network that is planning a rally and march in the early evening, well after the city has finished its workday. This network contains many unions that are sympathetic to (if not working for) the current Democratic Party. The other group is Decolonize/Occupy Seattle, composed of a diverse cross section of people and tendencies. Unwilling to let itself be taken under the wing of the Democratic Party and its pro-capitalist agenda, Decolonize/Occupy Seattle refused to let May 1st pass in the traditional manner: long marches on the same old routes, long speeches from the same old mouths, long walks back home, back to bed, back to work, again and again.
The SPD and the City clearly have an interest in pitting these groups against each other. There may even be some on the old left who want this to occur. However, it is my hope and assumption in writing this that not everyone involved wants to be tricked by the pigs. Their goal is to crush resistance and they will do so with whatever weapons they have at their disposal, especially the ones we give them.
Let us not forget that Chase bank helped finance the Nazis and made themselves 50 million dollars wealthier. Nor let us forget that Wells Fargo profits off financing companies that maintain prisons and immigrant detention centers across the world. These banks exist because people still willingly give them their money and because people have not yet burned them to the ground. Remember that Bank of America was once the Bank of Italy and that it was the only bank in San Francisco that still could loan money after the great earthquake destroyed the city. Were it not for the desperation of the people wandering the rubble, there may not have been a Bank of America at all.

During the peak of the Occupy fall, I tried to open an account at a local credit union, something that was being promoted heavily by the left. Once they checked my credit, they denied me. However, were I to have walked three blocks down the street, Bank of America would have opened their arms to me. This is a situation that thousands of other people find themselves in. I can get a one dollar burger at McDonald's and I can quickly set up a Bank of America account. If I choose to do this, I have no one but myself to blame. If I get caught stealing non-polluted meat from the co-op, the employees will get upset and call the police. If I have bad credit, the friendly credit-union will deny me membership. I do not want to have to eat filth every day, nor do I want to have to pay for organic food. I don't want to have a tobacco can filled with money hidden away in the basement, nor do I want to help the economy, either the local one or the global one. I want no economy, no money, no banks, no capitalism.
Marching in circles and listening to speeches will do nothing to help any of us get rid of these things. And so, naturally, when some people try to break the mold and shut down the functioning of metropolitan capital, there are many others who want us crushed. And why would they not? We want to do away with their system of death, the system that keeps them isolated in their cocoons and high on their power, the system that exists only because we allow it to.
These notes are meant to reach the right eyes and ears. Hopefully they get there. Let's all have each others' backs in the coming few days. I think its time to break out of the roles we are expected to play. On May 1st, let's create something no one has seen before.
Capitalism is death. Capitalism is dying. Capitalism is boring.

"I want no economy,no banks,
"I want no economy,no banks, no money, no capitalism." But since you're more of a marxist than a primitivist
and want to keep mass society and its technology, maybe you could tell us how to keep the latter whilst dis-
pensing with economy, banks and money. You must have economy, banks and money - and the state - in
order to have modern, complex, techno-industrial society. A minute's thought reveals this. In sum, in order
to preserve this mass, globalized world one needs - yes, capitalism!
To erase capitalism one has to envisage the end of complex society. Or you can keep dealing in nonsense slogans.

Wait, maybe that's because its focus is on something else... specifically the fact that the city and the media are attempting to preemptively drum up support for violent repression of anarchists on/after May Day.
Fucking KOMO News in Seattle has put up old broadcasts of the LA Riots in the hopes of scaring people off from participating in May Day. Wake the fuck up and stop your pointless whining. This is serious and if you live in Seattle, it's like lythat YOU AND YOUR COMRADES might face some of the repression that this piece is attempting to counteract.
Instead of meaningfully engaging in solidarity, you're just making assumptions about the ideas this person has, and your assumptions are INCORRECT.

The counter-insurgency media
The counter-insurgency media blitz continues. From The Stranger:
A statement just released by Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn's office says authorities believe May 1 could become a chaotic day in Seattle, based on their interpretation of local graffiti, web sites, and recent incidents:
"On Tuesday, May 1, several organizations will be holding public demonstrations in Seattle. This will include an annual May Day March for Immigrant and Workers Rights from Judkins Park to downtown Seattle, an Occupy Seattle-sponsored General Strike, and rallies scheduled throughout the day at Westlake Park. The Seattle Department of Transportation advises that delays should be expected downtown during the Tuesday afternoon commute.
We also have evidence that other people may be coming to Seattle on Tuesday with the intention of using the public demonstrations as an opportunity to commit violence, damage property and disrupt peaceful free speech activity. There has been a significant increase in graffiti and posters alluding to violence around the May 1 events. Websites have described trainings in how to conceal weapons beneath signs and banners, and how to target police officers on horses. At a protest at the Port of Seattle in December 2011, several people used peaceful demonstrators as a shield to throw projectiles and incendiary devices at police officers.
Early Thursday morning an incendiary device was thrown at a bank in Columbia City. This was similar to an attack on a bank that took place in Portland late Wednesday night.
Seattle Police command staff and Mayor's Office staff have been working with protest organizers, property owners, and other stakeholders to facilitate peaceful, constitutional demonstrations. Officers will respond appropriately to criminal acts and threats or harm directed against participants, non-participants, and property."
The City of Seattle and their pigs have quickly learned from their mistakes - under quite a bit of duress from the DoJ investigation of the SPD of course - and are showing a remarkable level of co-ordination in attempting to marginalize radicals. Fuckers.

The people who will stay home for fear of violence are the ones we are better off without in the first place, and the repression is inevitable anyway.

Where is it that the author suggests we loose by getting nowhere? This quotation suggests some sort of faith in historical progress which is not to say that the goals of abolishing capitalism are not desirable, just that the idea that this will happen in a grand scale is, well, naive.

Long time 'listener' first time 'caller.'
I dug up an area of tall ornamental grasses. There were numerous nitrogen nodules growing among the roots. I saved as many as I could, about 100 of them. They are somewhat small but distinct, ranging in size of bbs, and smaller, to about the size of my fingernail.
I have about 40 potted plants of many different families (plants, not people!) I'm overwintering in Columbus OH. I'm told we were recently down-zoned to 5.
I have constructed my own 'plant room. It consists of 5 shop lights including several plant lights (not all because $10/per) and aluminum foil on all the walls (no, I'm not one of THOSE!).
This gives about a million flux (it has also helped greatly with my moderate SAD and is a whole lot cheaper then a 'light box).
I did a smaller version of this in a house I moved from this year and none of the plants went into 'hibernation.' In fact, a few of the ones I read of, Madagascar Palm and some more tropicals, grew quite well.
The room has 2 western windows and so far it has been about 5-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, not to mention enough humidity to start precipitation.
In addition, I usually put up 6 mil white plastic over the windows. This stops a lot more of the heat from escaping. I'm hoping this in turn will add a few more degrees to the plant room and the whole house in general.
So, back to topic, I can't find anything related to putting the nodules into potting soil. My gut feeling is that it is good. But...
Could I do this to certain families, genera and/or species, all of them or none of them?
I did read that the nodules provide nitrogen once they are degraded. If so, what can I do to facilitate this, if possible, and doesn't take a lot of time, money, energy and complicated procedures.
In the Spring I hope to convert an existing covered back porch facing East and South, into a greenhouse of sorts. But that's several months away.
From what I've read here over the years, I know this site is mostly geared to gardening but I thought I'd see if there were houseplant experts that could give me advice, or at least point me in the right direction. Also, I thought I could contact a biology professor (any, I don't know any personally) at OSU but that is something different.
Thanks for any and all advice.
BTW, I did have a garden of 700 ft/sq at the other house. I would have loved to have had more but was in a starter neighborhood. The entire lot is 5,000 ft/sq.
I used maybe 50% of the back yard. I used all the area with enough sun to allow decent plant growth.
I planted 20 Romas, 15 total of Early Girls/Big Boys (Lost most of the former to 'White Flies), 10 Green Pepper, 3 watermelon (about a month too late. I only got 4 good sized ones and 7 pretty smallish ones), 3 Brussel Sprouts, 5 Early Squash, 12 transplanted raspberry bushes from my brother (no fruit this year but next year...my son is moving into the house and half the berries will be part of the rent!), 5 7' trellaced Sweet Peas (I did not use these for food, but to cool the Eastern and Southern sun.
The pea plants were great for the blooms, smelled great, attracted bees, butterflies and Humming Birds.), 25 jalapenos and 2 Ghost Peppers. I LOVE hot foods. 2 years ago I planted 10 Habaneros and got so MANY that I made them into 2 pound of powder. I still have a pound left.
I could eat a whole Habanero in one sitting. This is not to say I can pop a whole one, but cut it into small slivers and over the course of a meal eat one. I use the equivalent of a whole pepper for meals (I live alone and don't have to worry about 'poisoning' anyone!).
The Habaneros I planted were said to be 150,000 Scoville Units. The Jalapenos about 75,000 (I eat 10 a meal of these, including the powder). But this amount of fire was just not doing it anymore (I'm building up a tolerance?!).
The Ghost Pepper is said to have a million Scoville Units. There is supposed to be an even hotter pepper but it's only a few thousand units more so I'll be trying it soon. I don't have THAT great a compulsion right now.
So my yield this year is 50 pounds of watermelons, 40 green peppers, not many Brussel Sprouts (didn't water them during the hight of the summer's drought), a LOT of large squash (I used a lot of these in some of the sauce), 40 pounds of jalapenos, but my biggest achievement is that I ground up, cooked and bagged for the freezer 70 gallons of 'spaghetti sauce.'
After boiling away a 1/4 of the water content, the weight of the sauce is about 8pounds/gallon. So 8lbs/70 gallons=560 pounds of tomatoes. I ate a lot of fresh ones, maybe 100 pounds and lost 20% of Early Girls (these were the White Flies food of choice.
This variety mostly splits and is easier for the White Flies to get into them. Romas were almost unaffected, a much tougher skin and the Big Boys had some damage) figure another 200 pounds.
This puts the weight of tomatoes, my guess, approaching half a ton.
I have a large chest freezer and I ran out of room. I eat spaghetti with and without pasta. I eat chili with and without pasta (you can guess the rest) 5 days a week.
I still have 45 gallons and that has to last me until the middle of July (my first batch of sauce).
So 9 months, 36 weeks, leaves me with only 5 quarts a week to consume. I'm sure I'll get a bit tired of the sauce but I do love the taste of tomatoes.
This house has zero area with enough sun to grow tomatoes. I can probably grow some habaneros and jalapenos.
I do not know what a local farmer would charge me for half a ton of tomatoes so I'll have to forgo a lot of my beloved spaghetti sauce next year. But my peppers will live on.
Can I add whole legunes to potted plants?
Long time 'listener' first time 'caller.'

After a $25 million remodeling, the L'Auberge Del Mar opened to great fanfare and full rooms in June, just in time for the U.S. Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines.
And just in time for high gas prices, escalating airfares and a soft economy.
According to the hotel's general manager Mike Slosser, in July his bookings were down 7 percent in July, matching "continued sliding markets" in the hospitality industry.
Occupancy at the Solana Beach Courtyard Marriott is down about 7 percent from last year as well, said general manager Julio Ongpin.
After a "very disappointing" U.S. Open in June, the 115-room hotel did not increase its rates for the peak-tourism season in anticipation of a slow summer.
"People are not coming," Ongpin said. "We have strong weekends, but weekdays are really soft."
The Marriott Del Mar, the largest in the cluster of hotels on El Camino Real in Carmel Valley, said that while the economy has hit the industry, it hasn't been a sucker punch.
"Business has been softer than we've experience in prior years," said Dennis Fraher, general manager. "We're still doing OK, the numbers are just not what we've seen in the past."
He said that while people are vacationing less, the hotel's business traveler numbers have remained stable. Despite the fact that fewer vacationers are coming through, weekends were still sold out in late July, thanks to overflow from events like downtown San Diego's Comic Con and some soccer business from the two-weekend long Surf Cup.
The Vigilante consumer
Robert Rauch, the owner of the Hilton Garden Inn and the Homewood Suites next door in Torrey Hills, said both hotels have stayed busy and have done well this summer but they are seeing a more active kind of customer. Rauch calls them "vigilante consumers."
"Travelers now are very rate sensitive," said Rauch. "They aggressively shop for the best price as opposed to the best hotel."
Between the hotel's global distribution center and the internet, they have been seeing about 5,000 denials a week - meaning people check the price, see that it is not their desired rate and move on rather than book a room.
As consumers are so rate resistant, Rauch said that the Garden Inn has not been able to increase their average daily rate, which this summer is $200 a night.
"For American citizens, travel is a birthright," said Rauch. "They will go but they are going to be much more cautious about where they spend their money."
All appears to be well at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the picturesque resort that's been around as long as the village has. The inn, designed by Lillian Rice, will celebrate its 50th anniversary in October. Last weekend, travelers enjoyed meals on the sunny outside patio and in their indoor restaurants. In the quiet lobby, Mary Eastwood, a visitor from Dallas sat on the cozy couches reading the paper.
"We are doing fantastic," said Kerman Beriker, general manager. "I think we are getting our market share."
Beriker said that a lot of their visitors are people who vacation every year in Rancho Santa Fe. The inn has also welcomed international visitors this summer, from European countries like England and France.
"We're really enjoying the sun," said Mari Johnson, visiting from London. "London has had a really horrible summer."
Numbers from the U.S. Department of Commerce indicate foreign visitors are taking advantage of a week U.S. dollar. This summer international travel to the United States has increased 14 percent from last year and spending by international visitors is up 21 percent from 2007.
Beaches drawing more locals
According to lifeguards, beaches have not seen a measurable drop-off in attendance, but according to Del Mar's chief lifeguard, Pat Vergne, who has been in Del Mar for about 15 years, indications are that many residents have elected to take advantage of their home sand.
"I would say crowds really haven't dissipated that much," said Vergne, "but it's clear to me that there are a lot more locals using the beach. I'm recognizing a lot of familiar faces. Maybe people are opting to stay home this year because of energy prices."
Vergne, the city's Public Services director, also said that parking citations, which might be an indicator of fewer visitors to the city, are "status quo."
Crowds have been smaller at the beaches this year, said Solana Beach lifeguards. But there are still some out-of-towners who come ask where to buy boogie boards.
The Solana Beach Visitor's Center, located next to the train station, has not observed any changes to the number of tourists asking where to stay, shop and eat, said Frida Silveira, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. The center helps up to 100 visitors a week during the races, and up to 75 a week the rest of the summer.
Track feeling pinch
Normally local hotels have built-in summer guarantees for hotel guests with the yearly race season held by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. But even the track, which historically been immune to economic downturns, has seen some negative effects of late.
On-track attendance is down at the track overall, but has picked up some recently. After the first three weeks of the 43-day race meeting, attendance at the track was down 2 percent. As of last week, it was down 0.8 percent.
In addition to the attendance drop, "handle," or the amount of money wagered by bettors, is down 8.3 percent and track officials categorize revenues from telephone and Internet betting as "flat." The numbers prompted the track last week to cut race purses 3.5 percent - the first time in 30 years it has done so.
Arizona and Nevada residents often come to North County to enjoy the beaches and regional attractions, including the racetrack, and out-of-state license plates are often visible on local streets. But even racetrack regulars are staying home this year, according to the Marriott's Ongpin.
"I see the same people come every year (for the races)," he said. "Not this time."

BEIJING - Lolo Jones was supposed to take the Olympic 100-meter hurdles title. Other entrants knew it. Jones knew it. Even told herself so right before the start, mouthing, "I can win this race," when she was introduced to the crowd.
And Jones was right: She could have won, and she was about to - not just holding a lead but adding to it when she came to the ninth of 10 hurdles Tuesday night.
Alas, the American's foot slammed into that barrier instead of clearing it, and the next thing Jones knew, she was struggling to keep her balance rather than smoothly sailing across the finish line.
Jones dropped from first to seventh behind unlikely champion Dawn Harper of the United States, then dropped to her knees in despair, folding her body to the track and resting her head on her hands. There she stayed, all alone, for a few minutes.
"You hit a hurdle about twice a year where it affects your race," said Jones, who came in with the year's best time and an indoor world championship. "It's just a shame that it happened on the biggest race of my life."
Sanya Richards also was supposed to wear a gold medal for the U.S.
Everyone in the Bird's Nest knew that when she was touted over the PA system before the 400-meter final as "No. 1 in the world the last three years."
Richards was also about to win - taking a lead into the final 80 meters. That's when she began slowing and was passed, not once, but twice.
Richards blamed her fade on a tightening right hamstring, and although she still wound up with a bronze behind Britain's Christine Ohuruogu and Jamaica's Shericka Williams, she hardly looked thrilled up on that podium, sighing after receiving her flowers. Minutes later, she was sobbing into a cell phone, sitting on the floor in a hallway beneath the stands.
Earlier this month, at U.S. training camp in Dalian, China, Richards and her personal coach, Clyde Hart, were talking about how the splotches on her legs - a final remnant of a rare disease that has hobbled her - were finally fading.
Richards figured there'd be no better sign she was all the way back than an Olympic title.
"I knew that gold was mine," she said. "I was already getting up and elated coming off the turn, because I know how my races usually go. I just had a really tough break on that one."
Tough breaks came twice Tuesday, for Richards and for Jones, in an Olympic track and field meet in which little has gone according to plan for the United States.
Instead, victories on this night seemed to be reserved for athletes who barely made it to the Summer Games.

Amid Iraq unrest, idea of three autonomous enclaves gains traction
WASHINGTON – As Islamic militants have advanced farther into Iraq's heartland, the Obama administration has tried to avert all-out civil war by urging the Shiite Muslim-led government to share more power with alienated Sunni and Kurdish minorities. But if Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki continues to resist a political settlement, the United States and its allies could turn to an idea that was first floated – and roundly condemned – during the height of Iraq's sectarian fighting eight years ago.
Many analysts and officials, including some in the Obama administration, believe that a possible fallback plan for reducing strife is to split Iraq into three largely autonomous enclaves – corresponding roughly to the dispersion of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds around the country – linked by a weak central government.
The idea came to attention in 2006 when then-Sen. Joe Biden and foreign policy analyst Leslie Gelb wrote an op-ed column advocating this "federalism" approach. At a time when most experts were looking to unify the country, the proposal was rejected by "every single Mideast analyst," says Gelb. But now, with Iraq and neighboring Syria facing indefinite ethnic strife, the idea of a confederation is looking more attractive.
"People in the administration are interested," said Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations. If the advance of militants led by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is halted and the political maneuvering in Baghdad yields a new leadership, he said, "I think you'll see it floated."
Any move to splinter Iraq into separate states would face enormous difficulties. Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites live side by side in key areas of the country, including in Baghdad and parts of the oil-rich north, which could make efforts to divide them a source of even greater upheaval. Nor is there any sign that the militants fighting government troopswould agree to a political settlement.
Indeed, on Tuesday, the leader of the extremist group that has overrun parts of Iraq and Syria called on Muslims around the world to flock to territories under his control to fight and build an Islamic state.
In a recording posted online, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared he wants to turn the enclave his fighters have carved out in the heart of the Middle East into a magnet for militants. He also presented himself as the leader of Islam worldwide, urging Muslims everywhere to rise up against oppression.
The audio message came two days after al-Baghdadi's group, ISIS, unilaterally declared the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the land it controls. It also proclaimed al-Baghdadi the caliph, and demanded that all Muslims around the world pledge allegiance to him.
With a third of the country now beyond Baghdad's grip, an outcome more likely than formal partition could be de facto division of the country even as fighting continues for control of oil and scarce water resources, multiethnic towns, infrastructure and military bases, analysts said.
But the idea of greater federalism has been embraced by some Iraqi Kurdish and Sunni leaders, including Usama Nujaifi, the Sunni speaker of Iraq's Council of Representatives.
Though the Obama administration's policy is to press for a more "inclusive and responsive" Iraqi leadership, some U.S. officials say privately that a more decentralized structure might be the best outcome for a dire situation. (The White House wouldn't comment on whether Biden still supports the federalism approach.)
Under the Biden-Gelb proposal, Iraq would retain its current borders. Its central government would be responsible only for policing borders, dividing oil revenue and coordinating foreign policy.

By John Breslin
appear in court next week on sex charges.
Dr Lindsay Brown, vice- principal of Bangor Grammar, will face five charges of indecent assault when he appears at Coleraine Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
The charges are understood to relate to alleged incidents at a school in Castlerock between 1986 and 1991.
Mr Brown has been on leave of absence from the school since revelations that police were investigating one alleged incident.
A letter, from the school's Board of Governors, was sent out to parents last month.
It said that, to protect the interests of the school, 'the teacher concerned has requested and been granted a leave of absence pending a full investigation by the appropriate authorities.'The Bangor man has worked at the top grammar school since 1968. He is heavily involved in the school's Scripture Union and the Christian club, Crusaders, and had special responsibility for first form boys.
An RUC spokesman today confirmed that a 56-year-old man is expected to appear at Coleraine Magistrate's Court on Wednesday charged with five counts of indecent assault.

Jenna Carda, a corporate communication major at Black Hills State University, will graduate in May but already has a good idea of what to expect as she enters the world of public relations professionals.
Carda, from Miles City, Mont., recently spent a day learning the ropes from a representative of the Denver Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City as part of the Public Relations Society of America's (PRSA) Denver Shadow Day. Six students from BHSU attended the recent shadow day, an annual event sponsored by PRSA, the nation's largest community of public relations and communications professionals. Carda was one of six BHSU students placed in public relations firms and other organizations in Denver to "shadow" professionals in the field and gain knowledge and experience of the job. Each department discussed their role with the firm as well as their day-to-day responsibilities.
"The PRSA Shadow Day in Denver is a great opportunity to meet professionals that are already doing the work you hope to be a part of in the future," said Carda. "It is also an awesome way to gain connections and make yourself known to people in the industry."
Carda participated in the shadow day last year, but said she had a slightly different perspective this time. "It was different being further in my education and having the mindset of graduation this spring. It gave a new perspective of putting myself out there and really asking good questions to get a good concept of what I should be expecting in this line of work."
This was the first year Jordynn Schmautz, corporate communication major from Belle Fourche, attended the PRSA event. She spent the day at DCP Midstream, an energy company in downtown Denver. "I think this opportunity definitely helped to prepare me for the future. I got out of the classroom scene and into the real world of PR. There is so much to learn, and I can't wait to see where I go."
Schmautz recommends all college students participate in at least one job shadow day to get a feel of the real world and what is to be expected. "I got to meet so many different departments of the company and see what all they do," she said. "I had a great time, got to meet a lot of new people, and it was a great way to network yourself."
Other students who attended the PRSA Shadow Day include: Jordan Dolph, mass communication major from Parker, Colo.; Taylor Guthmiller, corporate communication major from Spearfish; Samantha Gray, corporate communication major from Faith; and Gabriele Palubeckyte from Jurbarkas District Municipality, Lithuania.

Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas, Sam Friend & The Freckles, Avidya & The Kleshas
The Rock Shop
249 4th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 7:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
Life has a way of letting us know what we're supposed to do and when we're supposed to do it. We can distract ourselves, but life is persistent. Jessica Hernandez knows that. She knows that no matter what gets in the way, time won't stop for anyone. Be it struggles or triumphs, Hernandez is ready for whatever, whenever.
This malleability expresses itself in so many facets of Jessica's life. The first-generation American grew up in and around Detroit. There are few regions more impressing as the nitty-gritty of Rock City and it left its mark on the 25-year-old artist. Her voice is instantly recognizable. Its strength and soul are matched by an honest vulnerability. Whether she is singing heartfelt words about someone that has left this world too early, or belting out a danceable tune through a big smile, Hernandez is unforgettable… especially with the ultra-talented Deltas behind her.
Never one to adhere to norms or outside pressures, Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas have learned lesson after lesson along their rise as one of Detroit's favorite bands. They've honed their craft in sell-out shows and tours than span the nation. It's easiest to classify Hernandez by seeing the people that come to every show. All races, all ages, all fans of good music.
A ghost poet with lyrical wiles, undying melodies, meandering wordplays, and shaggy dreams.
Based in Brooklyn, Miami born Sam Friend is releasing his third solo record, Spirit Mirrir, this year. The album takes on the notion of natural dualities and reflects the singer-songwriter's peripatetic nature.
Performing live, new yet familiar colors coruscate through the prism of his post-folk troupe, Sam Friend & The Freckles. The songs appear like keen jewels in the dust, and enter your consciousness filled with juicy ambiguity, though are fine-tuned enough to remain there and unleash all manners of firepower imagery in your purview.
Avidya & The Kleshas
With her penchant for impassioned expression, vocalist Stephanie Carlin evokes the ghost of Jeff Buckley and the outspokenness of Ani DiFranco while The Kleshas channel the textured funk of Frank Zappa and multifaceted soundscapes of John Frusciante. Spawned from the love and generous support of fans with a successful Kickstarter campaign, AATK's newest album Tree of Series is a record for refined tastes.
Buddhist texts describe Avidya and four other Kleshas as the fog in our consciousness, the mental states that cloud the mind, i.e why we suffer. Translated from Sanskrit, this incapacity to see reality for what it really is defines "avidya," which is the root klesha in all of us; it is the source of four other mental states of discomfort.
Avidya And The Kleshas are: Stephanie Carlin, Will Graefe, Russ Flynn, Wes Reid, and Javi Santiago.
