 Hal Cohen Jan. 3, 2009 (World News Trust) --
The media has recently spent a lot of time talking about the fact that
a candidate to head the Republican National Committee distributed CD’s
to colleagues for Christmas that contained a song titled “Barack, the
Magic Negro.” He was largely, and correctly, chastised for his lack of
sense and sensibility. As the chorus grew, though, many Republicans
came out to defend him, denying any racist intent in distributing a
song parody written by a long time friend.

 Opium poppy The
New York Times and other major U.S. media sources commonly report on
the production of opium in Afghanistan as though it were under the
control of the Taliban. The facts on the ground, however, tell a
different story. Who dominates the Afghan opium trade? Foreign Policy
Journal investigates.

Tuesday night was a bitter-sweet celebration. We came together to
witness the first black man who will become our president, yet watched
in sadness as Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, and California all voted down
equal rights for all citizens.

(World News Trust) -- My fellow Big Apple resident Katie
Robbins is one of the lucky few able to make organizing and movement-building a
full time job. She’s worked on projects with Food Not Bombs in her hometown
Akron, Ohio, advocated for family rights through Head Start, and is credited
with organizing and directing the first community-based production of The Vagina Monologues to Seoul, Korea
(where the bilingual production is still being performed annually by both
Korean and foreigner actresses and activists). But while any of those credits
would be worthy of a discussion, none of them are specifically why I’m
interviewing her here. This conversation relates to her important work with Healthcare-NOW!

(World News Trust) -- I had help with this one. I watched Joe Biden and Sarah Palin square
off, on CNN, specifically for that network’s audience meters. In this
case, it was a group of undecided voters in Ohio, both men and women.
What was revealing to me was how the audience reaction dovetailed with
my own.

 Senator Maria Cantwell(D-WA)
Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington State, in partnership with Robert McCullough of McCullough Research, today released a report that the senator's press release says " shows that the dramatic rise in oil prices in June, and the subsequent
fall in price in July, can't be explained by any of the fundamentals of
supply and demand. Instead, it could be a result of the trading
strategies of major market players. Cantwell and McCullough said new
data collection tools are needed so that federal agencies can identify
the culprits and stop any market manipulation."

(World News Trust) -- Last Friday one of two things indisputably happened. Either a dozen
senior Congress members and several well-known expert witnesses went
certifiably and collectively insane, or charges of the most extreme
executive abuses of power ever heard in the history of this nation were
backed up by overwhelming evidence during a six-hour hearing of the
House Judiciary Committee focused on the possible need to impeach the
President and the Vice President. Either way, a nation with a public
communications system worthy of a democracy would have learned the
news.

(World News Trust) -- Whether you see yourself as a
truth seeker, patriotic American, independent thinker or voter, or just someone
with bad memories of 9/11, you should make an effort to view The Reflecting
Pool, a new independent movie. It
is not about 9/11. It is about the
credibility of the official government story about 9/11. Though a drama, it is based on
meticulously researched facts about 9/11 as revealed in the bonus material on
the DVD.

Interesting day in the "computer Techs" in the US stockmarket. Americans that understand that politicians lie and have no intention of protecting American jobs made a great deal of money today.
Hewlett-Packard Co., our "American reseller of computers and printers made elsewhere", rose $1.38, or 3.4 percent, to $41.88 for the biggest gain in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
And Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. climbed $4.56, or 17 percent, to $31.84 for the biggest gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. This "computer-services provider" for Aetna Inc. and the MET forecast first-quarter earnings that beat estimates as clients outsource work to it and via Cognizant, to India. The major insurance companies that run those "feel good because we help you" ads then use Cognizant to destroy American computer programing jobs. But American compamies do tell us about how hard it is to get Americam programmers. Indeed, the MET has started to totally avoid American compputer workers as they set up a wholly owned Indian computer programing shop in India. This despite what is reported by many as a final product from Cognizant that is an example of very poor programing quality control by Indian "programers. Indeed those H1 visa that the GOP corporations are pushing are really just allowing Indians to spend "their junior in college year abroad" - a view based on their programimg skill level being that of an American or EU computer major in the junior year of college (but without the English skills). Bill Gates lied to Congress on the need for all those H1 visas - and nowhere is it more obvious than in the hiring pattern of America's computer-services providers, and the corporations that use those "American" computer service providers to hide their two faced telling kids to be computer engineers while sending those kids' future jobs to India.
