#193 -- U.S. vs. Libya and Iran: Calling All Nincompoops ...
Nov. 11, 2011, 12:55 p.m.
Only a nincompoop could believe the government's and the media's preposterous claims about Libya and now Iran: NATO is protecting Libyans (by bombing them) while Gaddafi dispenses Viagra to aid mass rape. Iran pays a failed US used-car dealer to hire Mexican mobsters to kill the Saudi ambassador in DC. Sheesh!
Commentators GLEN FORD, ZAFAR BANGASH, ANTHONY DiMAGGIO, & I expose the lies and offer some context. Plus a satiric song by TOM LEHRER (from 1965 but alas still relevant).

Quelques jours de campagne électorale ont suffit pour métamorphoser le paysage urbain de la République Démocratique du Congo. Les portraits des innombrables candidats tapissent les carrosseries d'automobiles et les murs des commerces. Des bruyantes parades de supporters déambulent les rues, des masses de chandails et casquettes à l'effigie des candidats sont distribués. On se rassemble pour débattre et festoyer, l'heure est à la politique. Jean-Philippe Marquis est au Katanga, au sud-est du Congo-Kinshasa et discute des élections avec la population de la ville de Lubumbashi.

A reading of Illich's seminal work of unschooling, by Tereza Coraggio and Robin Upton, broadcast in its entirety in episodes 562-567 of Unwelcome Guests. The direction of the book is indicated by its famous opening paragraph: "Many students, especially those who are poor, intuitively know what the schools do for them. They school them to confuse process and substance. Once these become blurred, a new logic is assumed: the more treatment there is, the better are the results; or, escalation leads to success. The pupil is thereby 'schooled' to confuse teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new. His imagination is "schooled" to accept service in place of value. Medical treatment is mistaken for health care, social work for the improvement of community life, police protection for safety, military poise for national security, the rat race for productive work. Health, learning, dignity, independence, and creative endeavor are defined as little more than the performance of the institutions which claim to serve these ends, and their improvement is made to depend on allocating more resources to the management of hospitals, schools, and other agencies in question."
