There is rarely much relation between the real factors motivating political power players to action, and the rhetoric they share during press conferences.
One case in point would be the energy the Harper government in Canada is exerting trying to sell the tar sands in Alberta as a cornerstone of Canada's economic recovery and energy strategy. More oil goes to the United States of America from Canada than from any other country. Is this an advantage for Canada?
In this interview for the Global Research News Hour, journalist and author Andrew Nikiforuk makes the distinction between Canada as an 'Energy Superpower' and Canada as a 'Petro State' and what that means for the health of Canadian society generally.
Then there is the question of the resignation of David Petraeus from the CIA. In a lengthy conversation with the Global Research News Hour, writer and broadcaster Stephen Lendman shares his views that the Petraeus resignation was not likely related to an extra marital affair. He further reflects on US foreign policy in the wake of President Obama's re-election and Israeli violence in Gaza.

Maryam Salah - Inspiration for Hope
Nov. 14, 2012, 10:08 a.m.
Twenty years ago Muhammad Salah was arrested, tortured and imprisoned by the Israeli military for bringing aid to Palestinian relief agencies during the first "Intifada", the uprising that challenged Israeli violence and impunity in Israeli occupied Palestine. Tortured with the complicity of the US government, he confessed to fabricated charges. On his return to the US, after 5 years in an Israeli prison, he was persecuted by the US government for his outspoken commitment to human rights. For 17 years he has been on the Treasury's "special terrorist" list that made any economic activity, unless approved by the US Treasury, a Federal crime. He could not buy his wife flowers or himself a stick of gum with out first obtaining a permission from the Treasury. He was tried in the US on the basis of the statement tortured from him in Israel, in a trial that revealed the US Department of Justice to be debased and prejudiced toward Palestinians. Michael Deutsch, of the People's Law Office and his lawyer, provides the back story.
Through it all, his wife Maryam remained his partner, supporter, a mother, educator and community activist. The recording was made at the American Friends Service Committee Middle East, "Inspiration for Hope Award" presentation to Maryam Salah.
Shortly after the AFSC and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed their law suite challenging the Treasury Department over the 1st and 4th Amendment violations of the special terrorist designation, his name
was removed from the listing. http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/OFAC-Enforcement/Pages/20121105.aspx

Wind Blown: Ken Burns on "The Dustbowl"
Nov. 13, 2012, 2:52 p.m.
âProgress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retainedâ¦infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.â That was philospher George Santayana writing in 1906, thirty years before the peak of the American Dust Bowl, a chapter of the 20th Century thatâs often called Americaâs worst man-made ecological disaster (so far, anyway).
A lengthy dry spell, combined with farming practices that did not respect the natural conditions of the region, set into motion a decade which devastated millions of acres of land, displaced thousands of heartland families, and had ripple effects on food markets and the national economy. Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns has produced a new film series on the dustbowl. It features survivors, experts on climate and farming, as well as some amazing footage from the era. Heâs our guest this week on Sea Change Radio. Burns and host Alex Wise discuss this important project, which is being released against the ominous backdrop of our current drought conditions.
In 2012, North America has seen a record low snowfall and a corresponding decline in rain, and the US Drought Monitor shows about 80% of the country to be suffering abnormally dry conditions with over 60% of the country already in full-fledged drought. Are there lessons from the Dust Bowl that will inform how we move forward as a nation through the impending hardship of continued drought? Ken Burnsâs latest project is well-timed and ought to help in our efforts to remember the past and escape the condemnation of repeating our mistakes.
