Yes, it is hard to believe But….
Sick of Conspiracy Theories?
Here is why Mark Crispin Miller, a professor of media studies at New York University, believes that "conspiracy theory" should be a working phrase in the vocabulary of democracy.
SEX IN MY CITY
CAN HILLARY STILL WIN?
MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX TRIPLES IN SIZE
The late and lamented House Majority Leader, Tip O'Neil, my Congressman when I lived in Cambridge and Somerville MA., said that all politics are local. It may also be true that the same can be said of news.
This past weekend, my neighborhood has been invaded by swarms of Sex in the City clones, packing multiple showings at the neighborhood Theater. For many its not a movie but an event, a coming out party for Manolo wearing and well-dressed young women who identify with the phenomenon and may want to be part of it, more than even see it.
It touches a nerve of identity, aspiration and a desire to be cool, I guess, as well as a chance to make a personal and fashion statement at the same time. There is a parade of high heels lining up for the sold out screenings. I think this is a sign of something deeper but I maybe too old and too male to get it. The NY Times critic trashed the film but that doesn't matter-do these celebrity obsessed movie moviegoers read? The hype on all the news and entertainment channels make it a must see. No wonder it was #1 for the weekend.
All the buzz reminds me of an upscale Rocky Horror Show but I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong, it is fun to watch all this colorful excitement, and for the trios of friends who got decked out to go, it seems to be an adventure or at least something to do. Scoring tickets is seen as a triumph. Apparently, a bag from a store called "Shoegasm" was the gift dujure at the NY premiere. I will spare you any moralizing on materialism.
Some years back I hung out with one of the SITC actors, Cynthia Nixon, at the Nantucket Film Festival and she was a down to earth and real as she could be. Also, very thoughtful.
One observation: There is sex in this city but this ain't it. Or so I have been told.
CAN HILLARY WIN?
She did win Puerto Rico 2-1, but Obama took 14 delegates. HE is still ahead and moving into General Election mode. NBC quoted some Hillary backers as threatening to vote for McCain. That can't be good for the Dems.
AP: "There are a total of 31 delegates at stake in Tuesday's contests in Montana and South Dakota. If Clinton and Obama split them, Obama would need to pick up 30 or so superdelegates to secure the nomination. There are about 200 superdelegates left to be claimed.
David Swanson has been assessing the math:
So, the Democratic National Committee has bent the rules for Senator Clinton and effectively given her 87 delegates and Senator Obama 63 from two states that were not supposed to be counted. That gives Clinton a grand total of 1,580 pledged (more or less) delegates, and Obama 1,711. While, technically that still leaves Obama with "the lead," there are 86 pledged delegates remaining to be awarded in Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota. This means that Clinton can still pull it out if she picks up 153 percent of the remaining delegates, an improvement on the 181 percent she would have needed to pick up if not for the Michigan-Florida deal.
Clinton clearly has the momentum. In addition, the backroom deal on Michigan and Florida's "pledged" delegates helps to blur the line between pledged delegates (awarded by actual voters and caucus goers, except in Florida and Michigan) and super delegates (awarded by Party control freaks). The distinction is, of course, blurred to virtual nonexistence by any media story covering the election, as over 80 percent of media stories now do.
CLINTON CLAIMS THE MOST POPULAR VOTES. TRUE?
Rachel Maddow Asks Some Questions.
WHAT NEXT IN IRAQ?
The war on Iraq may be taking a major turn as the US presses the government there to sign an agreement allowing a long US troop presence and thus prempt any possible withdrawal. (These Bushies are soo…..clever and diabolical.
Yet is being opposed by many Islamic clerics and at the same time a deal reportedly was done with the Medhi Army, a force the Us military was trying (and failing) to wipe out these past months. So as is true with many political developments, it is a very complicated situation on the ground.
Real News reports on one aspect on this story:
REAL NEWS GOES DC
By the way, Paul Jay of Real News says the new network is closing its studio in Toronto and moving to Washington DC in hopes of having more impact,
COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT IN MOSUL
Pepe Escobar of Asia Times who reports for Real News also says that the Iraqi government is resorting to collective punishment to try to stop the resistance:
U.S. UNCOVERS THE RIDDLE: ALL RESISTANCE IS 'AL-QAEDA'
The Mosul riddle By Pepe Escobar
The whole scheme got even more suspicious when the Pentagon started spinning that violence in Mosul is down by 85%. No wonder; this is an operation against a guerrilla army, and guerrillas - the "fish", according to Mao Zedong - historically melt down "in the sea" (local population) when under attack. On top of it, the Maliki government has just hired as many as 5,000 former Ba'athists into the Iraqi army. Thus the strong possibility of sectors of the Sunni Arab resistance being bribed for not fighting - at least for a while. This falls completely in line with the favorite counterinsurgency methods of the US's supremo in Iraq, General David Petraeus, of buying off opponents.
Among its methodology, the Mosul operation also has not failed to deploy collective punishment techniques - like depriving large swathes of the city of water. Tribal chiefs had to plead to Mosul governor Duraid Kashmoula, according to the Jordanian newspaper al-Ghad: "The Council of Arab tribes in Mosul reported that the government cut off water supplies from the right side of the city for two days as part of a collective punishment policy against Arabs who refused to deny their pan-Arabism, and reject the campaign of 'Kurdishization' of the city."…
Mosul may now look like filthy, blast-wall, under-siege Baghdad - with vast neighborhoods no more than ghost towns. Just so the point is made: for the Pentagon and dubious US client Maliki, any Iraqi nationalist is nothing else than "al-Qaeda".
NOW, CLASS: COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Here is the lead of the spun and sanitized NY Times story on the same situation in Mosul:
MOSUL, Iraq - The recent successes in quieting violence in Basra and Sadr City appear to be stretching to the long-rebellious Sunni Arab district here in Mosul, raising hopes that the Iraqi Army may soon have tenuous control over all three of Iraq's major cities.
WHY WE DON'T KNOW
Who don't we know much about this resistance in Iraq? Liz Burbank reprints this story from five years ago:
5 years ago U.S. renamed the prevailing Iraqi national resistance...
War declared on resistance
The Los Angeles Times has ordered its journalists to stop describing anti-American forces in Iraq as resistance fighters, saying the term romanticizes them and evokes World War II-era heroism. An email circulated this week asked staff to instead use the terms insurgents or guerillas.
MERCENARIES R US :US Paying Allies to Fight War / Occupation in Iraq By Subodh Varma - TNN
The tale of massive fraud and embezzlement of millions of dollars by the US military in its operations in Iraq continues. Testifying before the US Congress Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on 22 May, Mary Ugone, deputy inspector general of accounts in the Pentagon said that an audit of $8.2 billion spending related to the Iraq war showed that $7.8 billion had been improperly spent.
… my own analysis of our cartoonish president in action, based on a startling (but largely overlooked) passage in a recent insider memoir: "Presidential Bloodlust, The Movie-Made War World of George W. Bush" http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/174938
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" This was the sort of thing that the evil enemy villain was likely to urge on his followers in the movies of my 1950s childhood. Such villains were not just fanatical, but usually at the very edge of madness as well. I was brought back with a start to just such evil-doers of my American screen childhood last week by a memoir from a once-upon-a-time insider of the Bush presidency. No, not former White House press secretary Scott McClellan's tell-some book, but that of former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez. He got next to no attention for a 2004 presidential outburst he recorded in his memoir, Wiser in Battle, so bloodthirsty and over the top that it should have caught the attention of the nation - and so eerily in character, given the last years of presidential behavior, that you know it has to be on the money.
On the eve of the first battle of Fallujah in Iraq in a video teleconference, here is how, in part, George W. Bush exhorted his closest top civilian and military advisors in what Sanchez calls "a kind of confused pep talk": "Our will is being tested, but we are resolute. We have a better way. Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!"

Former Bush Donors Now Giving to Obama
Greg Gordon writes for McClatchy Newspapers: "Beverly Fanning is among the campaign donors who'll be joining President Bush at a gala at Washington's Ford's Theater Sunday night, but she says that won't dissuade her from her current passion: volunteering for Barack Obama's presidential campaign. She isn't the only convert. A McClatchy computer analysis, incomplete due to the difficulty matching data from various campaign finance reports, found that hundreds of people who gave at least $200 to Bush's 2004 campaign have donated to Obama. Among them are Julie Nixon Eisenhower, the granddaughter of the late GOP president Dwight Eisenhower; Connie Ballmer, the wife of Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer; Ritchie Scaife, the estranged wife of conservative tycoon Richard Mellon Scaife and boxing promoter Don King."
Nepal press slams Maoist's warning to media against criticism
Agence France-Presse
KATHMANDU - Nepal's journalists on Saturday slammed Maoist leader Prachanda for warning the media against criticizing his party at a rally celebrating the nation's transformation from monarchy to republic.
He told journalists, and in particular Kantipur Publications, which publishes two leading news dailies, not to criticize the Maoists, the English-language Kathmandu Post reported.
"The statement made by Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda against press freedom, in particular against the Kantipur Daily, has attracted serious concern of the Federation of Nepali Journalists," the association said in a statement.
"We cannot take this comment lightly by the chairman of that party which is preparing to form the government," the journalists said.
The Kathmandu Post, part of the Kantipur stable of publications, quoted Prachanda as saying: "We will no longer tolerate criticism as we have already been elected by the people… we have become the largest party."
MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX UPDATE (NakedCapitalism Blog)
In his final speech as President, Dwight Eisenhower warned against a heretofore unrecognized danger to America, namely the growing influence of what the Commander in Chief called the "military/industrial complex".
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military/industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together….
Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society's future, we - you and I, and our government - must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow."
We Rarely hear this last concern as expressed by a former military man and Republican.
So what has happened to the Military Industrial Complex in this Republican Administration. Read this from Asia Times and be very afraid:
The Pentagon's massive bulk-up these past seven years will not be easily unbuilt, no matter who dons the presidential mantle on January 19, 2009. "The Pentagon" is now so much more than a five-sided building across the Potomac from Washington or even the seat of the Department of Defense. In many ways, it defies description or labeling….
The Pentagon's core budget - already a staggering US$300 billion when Bush took the presidency - has almost doubled while he's been parked behind the big desk in the Oval Office. For fiscal year 2009, the regular Pentagon budget will total roughly $541 billion (including work on nuclear warheads and naval reactors at the Department of Energy).
The Bush administration has presided over one of the largest military buildups in the history of the United States. And that's before we even count "war spending". If the direct costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the global "war on terror", are factored in, "defense" spending has essentially tripled.
Meanwhile the US is accusing China of a dangerous military build up with veiled threats and coded language. China has responded:
SINGAPORE (LA TIMES) - - A senior Chinese general insisted Saturday that Beijing's military buildup was solely for self-defense, as he sought to assure a gathering of Asian defense officials that China was not seeking to dominate the region.
Lt. Gen. Ma Xiaotian, the People's Liberation Army deputy chief of the general staff, pointedly said that any instability in Asia was being caused by countries seeking to expand regional military alliances and develop missile-defense systems - a clear reference to U.S. aims in the Pacific.

DEBT BURDEN IN AUSTRALIA CAUSES CONCERN
Sydney Morning Herald reports; Backlash to the debt binge
AUSTRALIANS are shying away from debt. But while the rate of new borrowing is plunging, the hangover from the debt binge when interest rates were low looms as a significant threat to the economy.
In a sign of a changing economic mood, there is now little enthusiasm for borrowing to fund investment properties.
The yearly growth in credit for investor housing dropped to 9.5 per cent in April. The rate is the lowest level since figures were collected, and a world away from growth rates of 30 per cent-plus five years ago.
But credit rating agencies - tasked with monitoring the nation's balance sheet for international investors - suggest the new austerity could be coming too late.
One concern noted in a study by Fitch Ratings, released yesterday, was that borrowers were using credit cards to prevent themselves falling behind on mortgage payments.
AN ECONOMIC THINKER YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
His name is Naseem Nicholas Taleb. This interview was in the Sunday Times of London.He predicted the subprime collapse:
Last May, Taleb published The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. It said, among many other things, that most economists, and almost all bankers, are subhuman and very, very dangerous. They live in a fantasy world in which the future can be controlled by sophisticated mathematical models and elaborate risk-management systems. Bankers and economists scorned and raged at Taleb. He didn't understand, they said. A few months later, the full global implications of the sub-prime-driven credit crunch became clear. The world banking system still teeters on the edge of meltdown. Taleb had been vindicated. "It was my greatest vindication. But to me that wasn't a black swan; it was a white swan. I knew it would happen and I said so. It was a black swan to Ben Bernanke [the chairman of the Federal Reserve]. I wouldn't use him to drive my car. These guys are dangerous. They're not qualified in their own field."
ON THE ECONOMY:
The brilliant Max Wolff: "Perception Surges and Reality Retreats"
WALL STREET JOURNAL DISCOVERS PEAK OIL
"Energy Watchdog Warns Of Oil-Production Crunch":
The world's premier energy monitor is preparing a sharp downward revision of its oil-supply forecast, a shift that reflects deepening pessimism over whether oil companies can keep abreast of booming demand.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency is in the middle of its first attempt to comprehensively assess the condition of the world's top 400 oil fields. Its findings won't be released until November, but the bottom line is already clear: Future crude supplies could be far tighter than previously thought.
[Graphic]
A pessimistic supply outlook from the IEA could further rattle an oil market that already has seen crude prices rocket over $130 a barrel, double what they were a year ago. U.S. benchmark crude broke a record for the fourth day in a row, rising 3.3% Wednesday to close at $133.17 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
For several years, the IEA has predicted that supplies of crude and other liquid fuels will arc gently upward to keep pace with rising demand, topping 116 million barrels a day by 2030, up from around 87 million barrels a day currently. Now, the agency is worried that aging oil fields and diminished investment mean that companies could struggle to surpass 100 million barrels a day over the next two decades.
The decision to rigorously survey supply - instead of just demand, as in the past - reflects an increasing fear within the agency and elsewhere that oil-producing regions aren't on track to meet future needs.

FRANK RICH IN SUNDAY NY TIMES
…if the tale of how the White House ginned up the war is an old story, the big new news is how ferocious a hold this familiar tale still exerts on the public all these years later. We have not moved on.
Americans don't like being lied to by their leaders, especially if there are casualties involved and especially if there's no accountability. We view it as a crime story, and we won't be satisfied until there's a resolution.
That's why the original sin of the war's conception remains a political flash point, however much we tune out Iraq as it grinds on today. Even a figure as puny as Mr. McClellan can ignite it

HARTLEY PLESHAW WRITES
I think there's a certain historical irony in the Bush/Murdoch/Ailes/Rove machine's pit-bullish, no-holds barred counterattack on Scott McClellan.
"SNITCH!" "BACKSTABBER!" "TRAITOR!" Strange indeed to hear these epithets coming from the same people, or the direct political/ideological descendants of such people, who were more than happy to welcome the likes of Elia Kazan, Timothy Leary, David Horowitz and many like-minded others into their camp. "Snitching" and "backstabbing" wasn't such a bad thing coming from those guys, was it? Well, what goes around, comes around.
A more personal irony emanates from the conniption fits to be seen on Fox News. Godfather Rupert seems to have forgotten about one of the most famous inventions from his native Australia: the boomerang

ANOTHER LETTER
Tracy and Barry write:
Very soon it will be the little guy in the medium and low earning income bracket that won't be able to afford.
1.Fuel to drive his car so he will have to walk
2.Luxury Junk food items so he will have to eat cheap local fruit and vegetables
3.Alcohol and Cigarettes and drugs so he will have to quit
4. Air conditioning so he will have to breath pure fresh air
5.Traveling to other countries so he will have to learn to appreciate his own and discover its beauty
6 Tv cable and PSP 100 ……………….and so his children will be able to play outside once more and learn to fly a kite ,learn to play marbles,learn to spin tops and most of all learn to make friends.
7.Dining out so he will have to entertain friends at home,make conversations,eat real food and appreciate other people.
8.McDonalds so he half's his chances of having a massive heart attack
9.Insurance so he doesn't waste his hard earn money on the biggest scam in the entire world.
10.Gambling so he won't just get paid to wipe his as.. with his hard earn cash and flush it down the toilet….
I leave you with this and have always wondered We started off in this world with Adam and Eve No money,oil,luxury food items,mobiles,viedio games,movies,cars,oil,fuel,banks,cars,boats Etc etc etc Do we really need it all?
MYSTERY LETTER
Another letter came in from someone called Ellen Gale. I was warned this person might not exist and might be an identity thief. Too bad, she or whoever is a good writer:
Why the hullabaloo over McClellan's book? There's nothing surprising in it. The president lied, the president spied, the president nursed a war as if it were a favorite pet, and he wanted the media to report minimal casualties and maximum gains.
And there was more. But once again I wrote to the email on the letter And once again it bounced back. Feels good to think that this blog is considered important enough to subvert.

NEW BOOK OF INTEREST
For any of you interested in my better formulated writings, see my latest commentary on Mediachannel, Huffington Post and other sites on Scott McClellan's disclosures. I also have a chapter in a fascinating new book, CULTURAL POLITICS IN A GLOBAL AGE: Uncertainty, Solidarity and Innovation edited by David Held and Henrietta Moore and based on seminar I attended at the London School of Economics in 2005. The book, also has contributions from Amartya Sen, Homi Bhahha and Jurgen Haberbas. It is published by One World in Oxford, England.
My own book PLUNDER on the Wall Street crisis is done. So far no publisher despite its timeliness. Hint. I will get it out somehow.
FIRE IN HOLLYWOOD
The King Kong exhibit is gone along with other parts of the Universal Studios in Los Angeles including the archives and many tapes of classic TV shows and movies. I saw a long lead report on NBC News and then a second report exploiting clips from movies made there.. GE/NBC owns the studio.Why so much coverage?
"It is part of our NBC Universal family," reported Lester Holt. We still don't know what caused it. Part of the back lot burned in 1990 too.
At last there was good news: the fire did not impact the MTV awards on Sunday Night. The Show Must Go On.
Personal Memory: I once filmed Bob Dylan and Tom Petty in one of Universal's sound studios for ABC's 20/20. They did "Forever Young."
That's it for me. A new week and new month is upon us.
