Inglis breaks
down the purpose - the actual purpose - of modem schooling into six
basic functions…
The adjustive or adaptive function. Schools are
to establish fixed habits of reaction to authority. This, of course,
precludes critical judgment completely.
The integrating function. This might well
be called "the conformity function," because its intention
is to make children as alike as possible.
The diagnostic and directive function. School is meant
to determine each student's proper social role.
The differentiating function. Once their social
role has been "diagnosed," children are to be sorted by
role and trained only so far as their destination in the social machine
merits - and not one step further.
The selective function. This refers
not to human choice at all but to
The propaedeutic function. The societal
system implied by these rules will require an elite group of caretakers.
To that end, a small fraction of the kids will quietly be taught
how to manage this continuing project, how to watch over and control
a population deliberately dumbed down and declawed in
order that government might proceed unchallenged and corporations
might never want for obedient labor.

The
separation of the Bush political machine from organized crime is often
like the thin layer of rock between a seemingly ordinary surface and
volcanic activity rumbling below. Sometimes, the lava spews forth and
the illusion of normalcy is shattered… So
far, the mainstream news media has focused mostly on the white-collar
abuses of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay… or
on deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove… Both offenses
represent potential felonies, but they pale beside new allegations
linking business associates of star GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff – an ally of both DeLay and
Rove – to the gangland-style murder of casino owner Konstantinos “Gus” Boulis in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2001. These
criminal cases also are reminders of George H.W. Bush’s long
record of unsavory associations, including with a Nicaraguan contra
network permeated by cocaine traffickers, Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s multi-million-dollar money-laundering
operations, and anti-communist Cuban extremists tied to acts of international
terrorism. [For details on these cases, see Robert Parry’s Secrecy

The Mindless American: A Tragedy In The

As
a result of nine-eleven's jarring impact upon our nation, journalists
have discovered a near paranoid rise in retaliation against individuals
attempting to expose governmental malfeasance. Increasingly government
officials have begun punishing individuals for nothing more than reasoned
attempts to inform the American public concerning: How the military
has systematically abused (tortured) foreign detainees; How the government
intentionally withheld evidence suggesting that an attack upon the
United States by Al Qaeda had been eminent; How the military has begun
to wage war upon soldiers who, in good conscience, have come to believe
that it is wrong for them to kill in a war that, according to international
law, is illegal, one that, the reasons for going to war, were fabricated
by the President of the United States; How the United States has a
sixty-year history (1945-2005) of assassinating foreign leaders who
have chosen not to support the government's foreign policy goals, initiating
the overthrow of duly-elected foreign democracies, while simultaneously
supporting brutal authoritarian dictatorships all in order to fill
the coffers of America's military-industrial complex, an egregious
imperialistic force with but one goal: To take command of the world
economy. As a result, many
of these individuals have been incarcerated, accused of being a traitor,
of having sided with the enemy, told that their career will be destroyed,
and threatened with extended imprisonment…

The White House had long maintained that Rove and Libby had nothing
to do with the leak but reporters have since named them as sources… The
outcome of the investigation could shake up an administration already
reeling from criticism over its response to Hurricane Katrina and
the indictment of House Republican leader Tom DeLay on
a conspiracy charge related to campaign financing.

recent front-page headlines on a single day testified to the unraveling
of the Bush presidency. The
lead story in The Washington Post on Sept. 29 reported that "the
Senate defied the White House yesterday and voted to set new limits
on interrogating detainees in Iraq and elsewhere," with 46 Republicans
joining the Democrats to pass restrictions on prisoner abuse so unacceptable
to President Bush that he has threatened his first-ever veto. A
second story on the same page recounted that "the conservative
uprising against President Bush escalated yesterday as Republican activists
angry over his nomination of White House Counsel Harriet Miers to
the Supreme Court confronted the president's envoys during a pair of
tense closed-door meetings." Participants
described it as the biggest split with the GOP base in his five years
in office. And elsewhere on the page
was the news that the Central Intelligence Agency's director had rejected
a recommendation from its inspector general that he convene a formal
"accountability board" to judge the possible complicity of senior
officials in the failures that preceded the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The action triggered a statement of concern from the Republican
chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and criticism from families of
9/11 victims.

The

an official policy, as many have come forth to admit, so we have to

With the fall of the
Neo-Cons for a "Strong Europe"
Here
is a little scoop :
Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan,
Gary Schmitt and other members of PNAC (the Project for a New American Century) (possibly the most
violent and immoral of the right-wing think tanks, who openly advocate
American involvement in wars (that means killing people and destroying
their property) just to keep other nations in fear of us and to keep
money flowing into the war machine, in which they heavily invest) are launching a new club called “Committee
for a Strong Europe.” By “Strong
Europe”, of course, they don’t mean “A Europe in
which governments would be strong enough to say no to any crazy American
military invasion plan,”
but the statement
of principle of the committee is so broadly crafted than many people could
sign it. The purpose is to promote democracy, to have a stronger economy, to
keep confidence in our values, etc. Have no doubt that
they intend to achieve these noble aims by, that’s right, killing people
who don’t want to be “democratized” (code for submitting
to US economic hegemony) and that the values they speak of equate to US global
economic hegemony. PNAC is the organization that penned the

BUILDING A BOOGEYMAN
Many Iraqis are now wondering whether Zarqawi is
a real figure or not. "Zarqawi is a good pretext for striking any Iraqi
city or town," Professor Ali explains. "If Zarqawi is
defending the Sunnis and his followers are operating in the Sunni
areas, why were Najaf and Sadr city (mostly Shiite areas) targeted by the Americans
and Iraqi forces several times before?" Many
Iraqis believe the Americans and the government are behind the Zarqawi communiqué of targeting Shiites. "Do you think
that Zarqawi, if he is real, is ready to gain more enemies by
such a communiqué?" asks Al-Ubaidi.
Does Zarqawi have
an infinite supply of lieutenants/deputies/aides/associates/second-in-commands/etc., or do we just arbitrarily declare
that every 100th insurgent we capture or kill is "a top aide" to Zarqawi? … Below is an almost comprehensive list (I'm
sure I missed a few) of Zarqawi's "top
lieutenants" we've captured, killed, or acknowledged over the
last two and a half years. I count 33. Read on and start to recognize propaganda for what it is. Think
about why the government wants to keep a name, a boogeyman, in the
headlines, and to keep building his legend. Could
it be so that they can claim an enormous victory, when they need
it, by“capturing him” someday? Propaganda
is mostly fiction. Do
you think that the media don’t realize that they’re constantly
reporting on a man that was reported dead years ago?

Bin Laden to surface after new attack
on US soil: ex-CIA expert
Osama bin laden is expected to remain

And all quiet is disquiet," said Scheuer,
a fierce critic of the Bush administration and its "War on Terror"
policy since he left the CIA in November last year. The
gist here is, “don’t forget to fear the original Arab boogeyman,
because we can pull him out of the hat when needed, too.

Over
the past five years, the Howard
government has, with Labor’s parliamentary and political support,
already used the “war on terror” as a pretext to introduce
a barrage of laws, each granting unprecedented powers to the federal
government and its security agencies. “Terrorism” has been made
punishable by life imprisonment and defined so widely that it covers
many traditional forms of political dissent. Cabinet has been given
the power to outlaw organisations that it labels terrorist. The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) has been authorised to
secretly detain and interrogate people without trial, even if they
are not suspected of links to terrorism. Terrorist trials can be
held behind closed doors. The military can be called-out to combat “domestic
violence,” that is, civil unrest. Note that these powers of control over citizens
are the same ones that GW Bush has garnered, and from the same pretext.

are immense, weak US dollar is directionless, price of gold is strongly
up (an indicator of weak dollar and lack of confidence in economy),
airline and auto companies going bankrupt, other big corporations
cutting pension plans, US gov’t still
handing out corporate welfare and manipulating markets, new Fed chaiman Bernanke is on the way.

Exxon Mobil Profit, Sales Soar to Records
Exxon Mobil Corp. rewrote the corporate record books Thursday
as the
oil company's third-quarter earnings soared to almost $10 billion
and it became the first public company ever with quarterly sales
topping $100 billion… Those
results led Democrats in Congress to demand a new windfall profits
tax. "Big oil behemoths are making out like bandits, while the
average American family is getting killed by high gas prices, and
soon-to-be record heating oil prices," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,
said in a statement.
Rising bank fees hit consumers
Last
year, banks, thrifts and credit unions collected a record $37.8 billion
in service charges on accounts, more than double what they got in 1994… For years there has been a growing trend among corporations
to pad their bottom lines by adding and increasing fees, to avoid the
open raising of prices. Yes,
it’s deceptive, and what does deception say about their ethics?

Point': John M. Berry
The
Steven Lagavulin commentary
I want to highlight a handful of the many signs that are flooding in to
indicate that the first significant "wave" of social crisis
appears to be breaking upon us… The
movement in Gold has been catching my eye of late, and after watching
it rebound so smartly from the bashing it took early this week...well,
I believe this is a major signal that things are slipping "out
of hand" (which is actually a double entendre if you believe the
price of gold has been manipulated down in recent years...)… I
also experience a healthy and understandable sense of dread over the
coming collapse, precisely because I know that it will not unfold in
the way I believe it will… All
in all, I've been growing more and more convinced in recent months
that what we're seeing are the battle-lines of a broadly-drawn civil
war within the Corporatocracy. On one side there's the Neo-Con administration,
now backed-into an increasingly "loan-ly"
corner, watching their troops desert, and facing the rising backbone
of many formerly "third-world" countries (that phrase may
become obsolete soon) and the Iranian Oil Exchange coming online in
March. They may be feeling the need to gamble it all on one final,
decisive act right now...or lose the reins of power altogether. On
the other side there are the more complacent Captains of Industry,
who undoubtedly never really felt quite the pseudo-religious fervor
of the Neo-Con's they nominated to lead the charge. They may not really
wish to stake the whole game on the coin-flip of World War...at least
not at this time, not at these odds. They'd probably like to draw back,
wave the flag of humanitarianism, carpet-bag the
Marshall Auerback commentary
…markets in the 21st century are rife with destabilizing
speculation and possess no wisdom whatsoever. As we have explained
in earlier pieces, today's markets are driven to an unprecedented degree
by a combination of impulses from an ignorant public
and amplifying actions by herding institutional money managers
who have left their brains on the doorstep… Ultimately,
it would not surprise us to see various restrictions imposed in regard
to the holding of foreign currencies and gold. As recently as
the early 1970s, Arthur Burns, then Fed Chairman, railed against the
"unsound practice" of Americans having foreign currency bank accounts. This
notion may seem far-fetched in today's high-tech financial world, but the
story of the
Al Martin believes 2008 elections will be canceled due to economic crisis
It becomes more likely that this regime
would use its Patriot Act powers to cancel the 2008 elections. They,
of course, wouldn't come out and cancel them. What they would do
is formulate some sort of incident where they could invoke Patriot
Act powers to 'suspend' the elections, which would, in fact, be a
permanent cancellation… The actual economic crisis at that point might be a reason for
"postponing" the election. Let's put it this way. If the Dow-Jones
were trading between 3000 and 4000 by the Fall of
2008, they would declare a national emergency. Of course, it would be Bushonomics that caused it to happen… Not only are the numbers unprecedented,
but they are clearly unsustainable. We have reached levels of debt in this
country that, statistically speaking, no other nation in the history of the
planet has reached.

Union officials held meetings starting Monday to discuss their options. Delta
has already posted nearly $10 billion in losses since January 2001.

INTERNET

The
last attempt to shut us down came shortly after the London Bombing,
which saw our traffic go through the roof after we released a plethora
of articles exposing government involvement… This
is part of a growing trend of authoritarian censorship of the Internet
in preparation for the emergence
of Internet 2, where only government approved websites
will be allowed to exist and the old Internet will be shut down. Monolithic corporations in lock-step
with government are following the Chinese model, where any website
mildly anti-establishment is immediately shut down and its owners arrested.
The vast majority of Internet cafes in China were
shut down in 2002 after the government started
a fire in one Beijing cafe and then demanded all the rest be shut down
for 'safety reasons'.

Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
THE
hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document
instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually
true… the first
11 chapters of Genesis, in which two different and at times conflicting
stories of creation are told, are among those that this country’s
Catholic bishops insist cannot be
“historical”. At most, they say, they may contain
“historical traces”… They
go on to condemn fundamentalism for its “intransigent intolerance” and
to warn of
“significant dangers” involved in a fundamentalist approach. “Such an approach
is dangerous, for example, when people of one nation or group see in the Bible
a mandate for their own superiority, and even consider themselves permitted
by the Bible to use violence against others.” Bingo.

Slow Burn: The Great American Antismoking
Scam (And Why It Will Fail)
The book examines the most important studies into smoking
since the 1964 report and reveals that many if not most of them are
fatally flawed by deep antismoking bias on the part of researchers
who are supported by abundant antismoking grant money… At the same time
he reports on numerous studies exonerating smoking that the public
has never heard about… Amazon Reviewer: Though written in a conversational
and highly accessible tone, this exhaustively-researched book exposes
the wildly misleading conclusions drawn by the anti-tobacco fanatics,
based on their junk science "studies" and other misinformation…This
book ISN'T just for smokers! If you're a nonsmoker who's concerned
about the
"danger" you're in from other peoples' smoke you should read this
book as well... you might find yourself surprised at
some of the lies you've been told! Given that the
government knowingly allows and supports exposing its people to a shocking
array of toxic chemicals and pollutants in our food, water, and air, it makes
no sense for them to show concern about smoking. What could be the reasoning? Lung cancer rates among smokers are not what you’ve been
led to believe (see charts).
In Defense
of Smokers: Online book
When I began researching the subject, however, I found that,
like the myth about smoker's lungs turning brown from cigarette tars,
the
"thousands and thousands of studies" was also a myth.
…some
of the countries with the highest rates of smoking have the lowest
rates of lung cancer… If,
as the anti smokers postulate, smoking is a deadly "addiction",
trimming years off the life of the smoker, how do they explain such
examples as

SILVER KILLS VIRUSES, STUDY FINDS
Already used as a topical antibiotic in the medical industry,
silver may now come under consideration as an alternative to drugs
when it comes to fighting previously untreatable viruses such as
the Tamiflu resistant avian flu.
TAMIFLU GILEAD CHAIR WAS ... RUMMY
Donald Rumsfeld,
until he resigned and joined the Bush Administration, was the chairman
of something called Gilead which just happened to make something
called Tamiflu. Now anyone who hasn't been on Mars
for the last month or two, knows that
there were only two things that were going to stop the human version
of bird flu. One was a bird flu vaccine (which probably would work
better if you were a bird) and the other was something called Tamiflu. …somehow
or other it became established that Tamiflu really worked. This
was the party line, anyway, for about a week, until
word began trickling back in that maybe Tamiflu didn't
work. In fact, the word on Tamiflu has
always been positive at first and then eventually negative. It's
a kind of pattern. Now isn't it an
'amazing coincidence' that the drug Tamiflu patented
by Gilead Sciences is being pushed by the National Institutes of
Allergies and Infectious Diseases as the NUMBER ONE choice for
flu, which, wonder of wonders, is sweeping through in one epidemic
after another."

Aspartame - Anxiety, Depression And Suicide
Among Children
Two-thirds
of the population and 40% of the children in this country are using
products with aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/Canderel, Benevia, E951, etc.). It is a neurotoxic drug,
a deadly chemical poison, and masquerading as an additive. The 50% phenylalanine in it as an isolate is neurotoxic and
goes directly into the brain. It lowers the seizure threshold and depletes
serotonin. When you lower serotonin it triggers manic depression or
bipolar, mood swings, anxiety, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, panic attacks,
paranoia, hallucinations, etc. It also interacts with ALL antidepressants. In
fact, it interacts with just about every drug used to treat the problems
it causes. This is all discussed in the huge medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored
Epidemic by H. J. Roberts, M.D. www.sunsentpress.com or
1 800 827 7991 … The Trocho Study in 1998 showed the formaldehyde converted from
the free methyl alcohol in aspartame accumulates in the cells and damages
DNA with most toxicity in the liver.
