"The SAT is a scam. It has been around for 50 years. It has never measured anything. And it continues..."

“The SAT is a scam. It has been around for 50 years. It has never measured anything. And it continues to measure nothing. And the whole game is that everybody who does well on it, is so delighted by their good fortune that they don’t want to attack it. And they are the people in charge. Because of course, the way you get to be in charge is by having high test scores. So it’s this terrific kind of rolling scam that every so often, somebody sort of looks and says—well, you know, does it measure intelligence? No. Does it predict college grades? No. Does it tell you how much you learned in high school? No. Does it predict life happiness or life success in any measure? No. It’s measuring nothing.”

OccupyLA: When Badge Becomes Crown

OccupyLA: When Badge Becomes Crown:

occupyla:

Nobody marches with a “fuck the police” banner to applaud the stellar work of our enforcers. From the unpunished murders of countless civilians to rights violations, discrimination, citizen assaults and growing privacy concerns, most police forces have shown that they do not prioritize the ability of their officers to respect humanity. A badge is not a “law enforcer” or “what i say is law” pin. It is supposed to be a privilege given to those who have demonstrated the ability to protect our communities. Instead the badge has become an elevated citizenship that renders its holder immune from most consequences, leaving no promise that police won’t fuck with you anymore.

Society is tumbling over the precipice of fascism towards tyranny when cops that shoot unarmed civilians are neither imprisoned nor removed from the job; when door-to-door warrantless home searches are justified by manhunts; when a police officer brutalizes someone nearly every minute of the day; when this corrupt system of enforcement is rapidly militarizing to protect itself from the grievances of the people.

Masking the crimes of the police is the blue code of silence which is practiced by many officers. The code is the snitches get stitches ideology practiced by “criminals” wrapped in a police specific metaphor. The only difference is, society supports and pays for their own uniformed criminals. From badges to guns to drones to copters to LRADs to assault weapons to prison camps to the irreparable consequences of their rogue officers actions - we are the financiers of our own oppressors.

On May Day, the same day that LAPD shot and killed a “suspect” on Skid Row that they “thought” was armed, this article was written congratulating the LAPD for not responding to peaceful protesters with brutality and nonlethal munition. The time when society mostly thanked police for their service has passed. Now, people express gratitude when officers of the law behave like gentle masters.

Why Such Secrecy about Private Military Contractor’s Men Working the Event? #boston #bombing #questioning:

by: Dave Lindorff

Speaking as an investigative reporter with almost 40 years’s experience, I can say that when government officials won’t talk, they’re generally hiding something embarrassing or worse.

I tried, and nobody will talk about those Craft International Services private security personnel who were widely observed and photographed near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, wearing security ear-pieces, hats and T-shirts bearing the company’s skull logo, and all wearing the same dark coats, khaki pants and combat boots, some carrying what appear to have been radiation detectors. (I got no hard answers, though there were some inadvertent hints given.)

spherenow: Why is there a backlash from the American Left...

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:20:07 +0200

spherenow:

Why is there a backlash from the American Left against the FEMEN topless jihad? Why do the moral relativist not protect Christianity with the same venomous fervor that they use to protect Islamism?

We wish to fight oppression in all forms, do we not?

No one argues that Muslim women have the right to choose to cover or not. No one except religious extremist. FEMEN has never once demanded that women undress. They have only invited women to feel empowered to make their own choices, and to buck oppressive systems (if they wish).

Islamism, the Left’s new darling?

The American Left is scape goating FEMEN as xenophobes, and neocolonial patriarchs. Why? Because the so called Radical Left is filled with oppressive patriarchs and authoritarians. They seek vindication in identifying another as such. It allows them to feel more righteous. In their piety, they choose to tell these Feminist how, when, and why to demonstrate oppressive systems. They have chosen to be pro-Muslim and Anti-FEMEN. Exploring the ethics behind their choices is of little importance. They are then free to self- promote to the role of savior; a glorious warm sunbeam for the self satisfied ego to sit, and lick its paws.

While these Western Leftist proudly postures against Zionist Imperialist, they have wrongly equated solidarity with Amina, (and making the case for women’s freedom of choice), with the hot button cliche of Western Imperialism. They have become dogmatic at the expense of truth. The radical Left have become protectionist of anything that appears to buck Western values. They prefer to critique FEMEN activist from the safety of their keyboards. In the meantime FEMEN activist are jailed, assaulted, beaten and humiliated for taking a stand for all women who wish to make their own choices. The Left’s response, “tell those white women to shut up.”

Say what you wish about FEMEN, these topless Feminist are fearless and in your face. No masks, no bandanas, no shirts.

FEMEN has criticized Mr Putin over the arrest and conviction of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot, for performing an anti-Putin song in a Moscow cathedral last year.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:39:12 +0200

“According to Seattle Police Deputy Chief Nick Metz, this all happened very quickly. The police say less than 30 seconds elapsed from when they first approached Keewatinawin to when he was shot. Keewatinawin was shot multiple times. (Witnesses say they heard between 8 and 11 shots, but the family has not yet received a copy of the coroner’s report, so they don’t know how many times Keewatinawin was hit.) Jack Keewatinawin died moments later, lying in his neighbor’s grassy front yard, close to their driveway, in a large pool of blood. The killing was witnessed by several neighbors, and most of them have troubling doubts about how the police handled the incident. One calls the shooting “totally unacceptable,” and others suggest that officers should have known Keewatinawin was a schizophrenic, since they’d been called to the house several times over the years when he was off his medication and having problems. Several times over the past three years, police had helped get him into an ambulance for a trip to the hospital. It is not clear if the responding officers were aware of the victim’s mental illness and history. Henry Northwind, who was trying to calm both the police and his son that night, saw what happened from beginning to tragic end, and insists that the police murdered his son at close-range, in cold-blood. **********”

Yet More Power for the Global 1 Percent #TPP #TPPA

Yet More Power for the Global 1 Percent #TPP #TPPA:

Much is made over the alleged ceding of U.S. sovereignty to international bodies every time a potential global treaty appears in the news. The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a U.S.-led free trade agreement that would exempt multinational corporations from having to comply with policies governing industry in signatory countries, appears to be the real thing.

In 2008, American leaders gave a $13 trillion bailout to the banks that drove the nation into economic bedlam. Late last month, officials in Cyprus failed in an attempt to confiscate depositor funds in order to qualify for inclusion in a European bailout of their own. And a recently uncovered paper by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England written in late 2012 showed that G-20 countries have long been laying the groundwork for similar action within their own borders in the event that another crisis strikes.

Comfort Women II

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:42:15 +0200

Comfort Women II:

inthecoppice:

To follow up on my previous post, this is an article written by Mariko Oi from Tokyo, Japan on the ignorance of the main Japanese populace of the existence of comfort women.

Japanese people often fail to understand why neighbouring countries harbour a grudge over events that happened in the 1930s and 40s. The reason, in many cases, is that they barely learned any 20th Century history. I myself only got a full picture when I left Japan and went to school in Australia.

…

I also remember wondering why we couldn’t go straight to that period if it [the period of WWII] was so important, instead of wasting time on the Pleistocene epoch.

When we did finally get there, it turned out only 19 of the book’s 357 pages dealt with events between 1931 and 1945.

More details from the article:

200,000 women in territories occupied by Japan during WWII estimated to have been forced into become sex slaves for troops, or “comfort women”

In 1993 Japan acknowledged use of wartime brothels

In 2007 Japanese PM Shinzo Abe was forced to apologise after casting doubt on the existence of comfort women

This is the problem with male dominated societies, they don’t like to admit to the horrible things they do to women in order to assert their manhood. And after a while, denial becomes mistrust and then true belief that the bad things they did never happened.
