    JAZZMAN CHRONICLES. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
    The inauguration of Barack Obama as America’s 44th president was a moving and powerful symbol of change. Every citizen and ally who allowed himself and herself to appreciate the moment felt a surge of pride that will not easily abate.
    We have elected a leader who’s every word, step and breath seems to hold the promise of greatness. Amidst everything that is wrong with our nation and our world – our homes foreclosing, our jobs lost, our banks (…)

  • Wall St. and the Fed Get Fatter, While Main St. Suffers
    29 December 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Wall Street has hijacked the economy for the last twenty some years.” - Richard L. Trumka, Secretary-Treasurer, AFL-CIO
    The Fed and Wall Street are the real powers in the land. During the financial meltdown crisis in the Fall of 2008, the U.S. Congress acted as a patsy for the fiscal elite. The Fed Chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, and the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Henry M. Paulson, Jr., ordered the politicos to give Wall Street banksters a bailout of $700 billion of taxpayers’ money with (…)

    Obama’s “left” cheerleaders and the right-wing transition
    22 November 2008
    The increasingly right-wing character of the transition being organized in preparation for President-Elect Barack Obama’s inauguration in January has elicited expressions of concern from the middle-class "left." This milieu, whose views are reflected in publications like the Nation magazine, played a significant role during the election campaign in promoting Obama’s candidacy and the Democratic Party as vehicles (…)

    “If we would learn what the human race really is...we need only observe it at election time.” - Mark Twain
    Maybe, it’s the Joe Lieberman effect! He’s in, he’s out, he’s back in the Democratic Party fold again. It is all so confusing. So is the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies, finally, won the World Series this year and the massive financial meltdown by the banksters on Wall Street! Who can know for sure? Here’s what the record shows: Alan Keyes, a perennial candidate for public office (…)

  • Dumbo in the Living Room
    16 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    I voted for Cynthia McKinney because she was the only candidate who sees him (I think it is a he). The others either don’t, or won’t admit it, and I see no significant difference between these two points of non-view.
    According to polls about a third of the US population (not to mention the rest of the world) think, or at least suspect, that 9/11 was an inside job, and McKinney was the only candidate who has even mentioned the possibility. Of course I’m glad that Obama has spared us the (…)

    A Two part interview with Webster Tarpley describing who is behind Obama and pulling the strings on the president elect and the plans behind it for the future. A must watch with brilliant insight and analysis.

  • McKinney Stronger in Unexpected Places
    7 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    ( Nov. 7, 2008, http://www.mdmorrissey.info/mckinney )
    Cynthia McKinney’s .1% of the vote came from some places that, for me at least, were unexpected. I would not have expected proportionately more Louisianans to vote for her than people in any other state, for example, and though California doesn’t surprise me I would not have thought Maine, Arkansas and West Virginia would come out ahead of New York and Massachusetts.
    This may be worth some cogitation. I voted for her mainly, but not (…)

  • THE BEGINNING OF HOPE?

    By David R. Hoffman
    Over twenty-five years ago, in January of 1983 to be precise, I wrote my first newspaper article, arguing for the creation of a federal holiday honoring America’s late civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Later that same year a reluctant Ronald Reagan—over the vociferous objections of North Carolina’s rabidly racist Senator Jesse Helms, and the “nay” vote of Arizona Congressman (later to become Arizona Senator) John McCain—signed a bill into law designating (…)

  • Hey, Prez-Elect Obama: Say “Thanks” to Alan Greenspan!

    “The secret for success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” - Benjamin Disraeli
    In ancient Greece, some of its celebrated playwrights, such as Aeschylus, used a device called the “Deus ex Machina,” in order to resolved a badly tangled plot. Usually, it represented some kind of divinity, whose intervention into the lives of the characters portrayed generally proved fortuitous. In the 2008 presidential election, the winner, Democratic Sen. Bararck Obama, (…)
