"GLOBAL JUSTICE" MOVES INTO NORTH BEACH?
CONFRONTING PLANETARY TYRANNY

Words, those units of divine magic constituting our human
consciousness, like anything else get dulled by repetition and often
enough even absolutely perverted by institutionalization. Examples
from the American Federal experience leaping to mind in this regard =
"defense" and "justice", both of which have had their original
meanings diametrically reversed by being promoted to the upper case
and carved in stone on the fascia of imposing government buildings in
Washington DC.
OTOH rarer contemporary examples of authenticity in the use of
language by strong & successful forces include the late Ho Chi Minh's
leadership of Vietnam's heroic struggle for national freedom and
independence, Nelson Mandela's leadership for pan-racial democracy in
South Africa and the campaign led by Hugo Chavez for national
sovereignty and the interests of the popular classes in Venezuela.
These considerations arise at the moment because, as previously
announced in another thread, my local bookstore here in North Beach,
the venerable Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights, is sponsoring
tonight
the following program:
{The Future of the Global Justice Movement: A Public Forum
Friday, March 28, 2008, 8:00 pm
http://www.citylights.com/info/?fa=event&event_id=291 \\
more details below in Appendix A}
So, as between the utterly corrupt U.S. Department of Justice
at the low end of the spectrum of the genuine vs. Uncle Ho's righteous
invocation of "freedom and independence" at the top, where does
tonight's meeting fall? We note the MC as Barry Gills, Professor of
Global Politics at Newcastle University (Northumbria)
in the U.K.
Having only a few minutes left to compose this note, I begin by
saying directly that in their choice of titles the featured speakers
Masters Bello, George & Danaher seem to have put on the wrong hat, so
to speak. Had they chosen instead to represent a movement "For a
Global Commonwealth", then subjects such as debt relief for poor aka
"Third World" countries or reforming the World Bank or the World Trade
Organization would seem appropriately to be high on the agenda.
As it stands, however, the single word most directly opposed to their
chosen one of "justice" = "murder", rather than the "poverty" which
they appear far more inclined to discuss. The offset in focus here is
also illustrated by the appearance of Ms.Susan George, a specialist in
economic issues, rather than of her colleague at the Transnational
Institue Phyllis Bennis, who attends to Iraqi matters. I mention Iraq,
of course, as the Planet's most egregious current locus of the crime
of mass murder, along with occupied Afghanistan.
When one bills oneself as an intellectual leader of a "Movement for
Global Justice", then should one be prepared properly to receive or at
least to redirect the complaints of those whose children, spouses,
parents or friends have been murdered by the mighty & notorious
imperial war machine? Either one can respond helpfully to the
anguished cries of those who have lost their loved ones to such
aggression or else one's claim to be such a leader for "Global
Justice" is revealed as fraudulent, eh what? By way of comparison,
we can note that during their time of struggle, the heroes named
earlier were indeed able positively to answer those who approached
them on behalf of their announced causes, the example of President
Chavez being still very much in the present tense, of course.
I will quote here remarks already posted for last night's speaker at
City Lights, Professor Micheline Aharonian Marcom, author of _DRAINING
THE SEA: A Novel_ which substantially concerns the Reagan-Bush counter-
revolutionary campaign in Guatemala in the 1980's:
"The author might be interested
in putting the suffering of the Mayans and other peoples of Central
America in an up-to-date global context. Therefore, I'll pop off with
the round figure that since 1990 WAR aka the WAshington Regime aka the
USGov has murdered in Iraq and in Afghanistan about 25 X the number of
its victims in all five stricken countries of Central America during
the 'Eighties.
My winging it calculation runs as follows: Estimated death
toll for
Guatemala = 250,000; for El Salvador 80,000; for Nicaragua
40,000; for Panama 5,000; for Honduras 2,000. Total for
Central America = ~380,000 murdered by USGov agents, both Federal and
local, mainly during the decade in question although the Guatemalan
total may include earlier fatalities.
Whereas, Dr.Gideon Polya of Melbourne, Australia, has
estimated ~6.2 million excess deaths in
Afghanistan due to the US invasion. In response to my question, former
Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Hans-Christoff Graff
von Sponeck estimated 2,000,000 civilians slain by the USGov in Iraq
in its continuous aggression against that country from 1990 to the end
of March 2006. It remains to add the killings for the last two years
there. We note again that Mr. von Sponeck also affirmed that we law-
enforcing people of Earth should unite to arrest and to prosecute the
criminals guilty of this
prolonged atrocity.
My conclusion from this data = That we artists and
intellectuals
of Earth have the duty to organize the masses of our Seven Billion
utterly to defeat the tyranny of DiCTATA aka the District of Columbia
Tel Aviv Terrorist Axis. Further, we living in the USA and
particularly the OSA aka Old Stock Americans whose ancestors were here
already at the time of our Civil War have the particular
responsibility to disarm the Pentagon, which has long threatened our
entire human race with annihilation. This strategic POV has some
current operational relation to our preferring Ralph Nader among
the official candidates for the Presidency but also to favoring
Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton where- and whenever during the next
six months that particular gruesome choice may be forced on the U.S.
electorate."
So IMHO the best thing that could happen tonight (gee, maybe I should
start thinking of that opening more often) would be for
our famous visitors either to point out to us their existing War
Crimes Office or else agree to promote the expeditious creation of one
in their "Global Justice Movement" or else thirdly to change the name
of their effort as mentioned above.
In the spirit of forward thinking, I would further propose that the
meeting agree to publish a joint statement along the lines of:
"We find here assembled find that A) The U.S. empire in the last two
decades has murdered some 10,000,000 [ten million] or more victims in
the countries of Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Colombia.
We use that dread verb within the strict meaning clearly dictated by
existing world positive law. B) Consequently, we law-enforcing Seven
Billion people of Earth have the urgent duty to unite in order to
defeat the tyranny presently exercised by the DICTATA previously
named. C) After establishing justice under law over our whole Planet,
we look forward to constituting the world democracy, to ensuring
Peace, to enjoying Freedom and to organizing the Commonwealth of our
species.
In the instant phase of our struggle in particular we mean to use the
well-documented cases of the Jews' murders of Palestinian children
such as Iman al-Hams, Bushra Bargis, Akaber Zaid and Safah Abu Seif to
help us all fully to realize the enormity of the U.S. offenses against
the grievously injured nations of Iraq and Afghanistan whose plight we
have here mentioned so briefly.
In our hi-tech & globally integrated present, the inflamed collective
guilty conscience of the kabal involving names such as those of
Kissinger,
Sulzberger, Bronfman, Metzger, Clinton, Bush & McCain presents an
acute threat to the survival of all humanity. Thus fate challenges our
generation. In the names of all our gods and ancestors and for the
dreams of all our children, we pledge to meet it."
Well, how say you, Dear Reader? We expect FX to answer for
the kiddie-killers, Walter Shorenstein being otherwise occupied.
Ahoy there, GGM ! How're the old whores doing tonight?

The Future of the Global Justice Movement: A Public Forum
Friday, March 28, 2008, 8:00 pm
Presentations and discussion exploring new vectors in the
literature on globalization and its academic and popular
understanding.
Speakers:
Walden Bello, Focus on the Global South
Kevin Danaher, Global Exchange
Susan George, Transnational Institute
Chaired by Barry Gills, editor of the journal Globalizations
Followed by open discussion from the floor.
The International Studies Association (ISA) was founded in 1959 by
a group of academics and practitioners seeking to pursue mutual
interests in world affairs through the organization of a professional
association. The ISA's interdisciplinary focus, worldwide membership,
and vigorous promotion of international research and education have
made it the most respected and widely known scholarly association in
the field of International Studies.
RETHINKING GLOBALIZATIONS: This book series is designed to break
new ground in the literature on globalization and its academic and
popular understanding. Rather than perpetuating or simply reacting to
the economic understanding of globalization, this series seeks to
capture the term and broaden its meaning to encompass a wide range of
issues and disciplines and convey a sense of alternative possibilities
for the future.
Light food and refreshments will be served.
Meet the authors of the Rethinking Globalizations book series.

=====================================
Earlier post of mine:
Dec 19 1995, 1:00 am
I consider myself to be politically a
man of the center, as in the center of the 6 billion stong Human Race
or
the center of species transformation. WRT to social stratification I
would
call myself a left semi-revolutionary. I mean that the oligarchs for
the
last half-century have used their terror weapons to constipate the
system.
We have a super-abundance of Rockefellers, Quayles, Bushes and the
likelocked in a secret police state who have promoted the careers of
lackeys like Gingrich, Limbaugh, Clinton et al. Today, for the most
part,
one will find the native talent in the streets rather than in the
offices.
In the U.S. the mental gravitational field of the $ trillions flowing
over
the last 54 years through the Pentagon has skewed the political-
propaganda
spectrum terrifically to the right. Those who commit murder pass
beyond
the right-wing into simple criminality. We can regard politicians such
as
Jerry Brown and Tom Hayden as right-wing because they keep silence
about
such crimes as the Clinton Administration's genocidal embargo of Iraq
and
its continuation of the neo-prohibitionist tyranny with its hundreds
of
thousands of prisoners.
Since Jim Glass raises the question, though, I see the future
Kozmopolis or Government of Earth raising its revenue from a value-
added
tax on the private sector.

Followed by open discussion from the floor.
The International Studies Association (ISA) was founded in 1959 by
a group of academics and practitioners seeking to pursue mutual
interests in world affairs through the organization of a professional
association. The ISA's interdisciplinary focus, worldwide membership,
and vigorous promotion of international research and education have
made it the most respected and widely known scholarly association in
the field of International Studies.
RETHINKING GLOBALIZATIONS: This book series is designed to break
new ground in the literature on globalization and its academic and
popular understanding. Rather than perpetuating or simply reacting to
the economic understanding of globalization, this series seeks to
capture the term and broaden its meaning to encompass a wide range of
issues and disciplines and convey a sense of alternative possibilities
for the future.
Light food and refreshments will be served.
Meet the authors of the Rethinking Globalizations book series.

Earlier post of mine:
Dec 19 1995, 1:00 am
I consider myself to be politically a
man of the center, as in the center of the 6 billion stong Human Race
or
the center of species transformation. WRT to social stratification I
would
call myself a left semi-revolutionary. I mean that the oligarchs for
the
last half-century have used their terror weapons to constipate the
system.
We have a super-abundance of Rockefellers, Quayles, Bushes and the
likelocked in a secret police state who have promoted the careers of
lackeys like Gingrich, Limbaugh, Clinton et al. Today, for the most
part,
one will find the native talent in the streets rather than in the
offices.
In the U.S. the mental gravitational field of the $ trillions flowing
over
the last 54 years through the Pentagon has skewed the political-
propaganda
spectrum terrifically to the right. Those who commit murder pass
beyond
the right-wing into simple criminality. We can regard politicians such
as
Jerry Brown and Tom Hayden as right-wing because they keep silence
about
such crimes as the Clinton Administration's genocidal embargo of Iraq
and
its continuation of the neo-prohibitionist tyranny with its hundreds
of
thousands of prisoners.
Since Jim Glass raises the question, though, I see the future
Kozmopolis or Government of Earth raising its revenue from a value-
added
tax on the private sector.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (CNN) -- Former Liberian President Charles
Taylor appeared in court Monday at the resumption of his war crimes
trial, six months after boycotting the opening session and calling the
trial a "charade." Monday 080107.

1.) From HIGH NOON (1952, directed by Fred Zinnemann):
Martin Howe (Lon Chaney ) to Marshal Will Kane (Gary Cooper):
"People gotta talk themselves into law and order before they do
anything about it. Maybe because down deep they don't care. They just
don't care."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace Kelly played Amy Fowler Kane, the Marshal's bride.
Katy Jurado (who was deservedly billed above Grace Kelly) played Helen
Ramírez, the Marshal's Mexican former flame who put some much-needed
iron into GK's white Quaker spine.

FINAL JUDGMENT by Michael Collins Piper, first published in 1994 and
now in its 6th edition, lays out the Jewish background to the JFK hit
in >600 fascinating pages (which badly need editing, evenso --attn:
M&W).
(See the AFP site above also for the moving letter of 29 November 2006
from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
