Jeff Blankfort/NewsOp:Israeli Censors from Rand Paul to GHW Bush
Dec. 12, 2018, 12:46 p.m.
Noting that I devote an inordinate amount of time to criticizing the Israel Lobby I point out that I do so because negative news about the lobby is censored by the US media, including Democracy Now!
I begin with the case of Sen. Rand Paul who for more than two weeks has placed a âholdâ on two pieces of legislation favoring Israel, preventing them being voted on by the Senate where they would be approved overwhelmingly: the act putting into law the $38 billion arms package to Israel and a bill making it a crime punishable with a fine for businesses to boycott Israel. Outside of the Israeli and US Jewish press there has not been a word about this.
Closer to home I report that my local city council rejected my attempt to prevent it from purchasing a Caterpillar back hoe/loader in respect for the international boycott. My casting its decision as a moral one was rejected by a 4-1 vote.
I then review the case of Prof. Marc Lamont Hill who was fired by CNN for mentioning the Palestinian right to use armed struggle against the Israeli occupiers and that âfrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,â at a UN event on the 71st anniversary if the UNGA vote partitioning Palestine and the response of the Lobby's watchdogs.
I go from there to another forgotten story (discredit for that goes to Chomsky) about George Herbert Walker Bush standing up to the lobby in 1991 which may have cost him the election when he refused to support Israel's request for $10 billion in loan guarantees.
I finish with a report that the upper house of the Irish legislature had approved a bill, to a standing ovation, making it a crime, punishable by a heavy fine, to import into Ireland, anything from the West Bank's Jewish settlements.

Governor Jerry Brown. Last chance to do the right thing for Death Row
Dec. 11, 2018, 5:56 p.m.
Mike Farrell, activist, humanitarian, actor, author, and president of Death Penalty Focus is appealing to Jerry Brown as he is getting ready to leave office at the end of December 2018. Farrell's petition asks Brown to declare a moratorium on executions and to commute all death sentences to life in prison.
Today California has the largest population on death row of any US State. Of 747 condemned, 60% are people of color. Twenty US states have already abandoned the death penalty - why not California?
I heard Mike Farrell's appeal on Thom Hartmann's program on December 4 and got permission to quote from their conversation. I explained to the Hartmann's that I had a rare recording of Jerry Brown from 1998, when he was presenting himself as a recovering politician, that I wanted to run along side the appeal to remove California from the list of Killing States. In his critique of politicians in 1998 Brown even chided his own father, Pat Brown, when he used being tough on crime to get elected in 1943.
Brown spoke to organic farmers at their annual Eco-Farm conference in Asilomar, CA on Jan. 21, 1998. A few months after this talk, when Brown began his campaign for mayor of Oakland, he followed his father's lead and took a tough on crime position.
After holding political office from 1999 to 2018 - as mayor and Attorney General of CA, ending on a third and fourth term as governor of CA, Jerry Brown has termed and timed out of politics and has an opportunity to take action on principles he clearly once held.
This program includes part of Jerry Brown's keynote to organic farmers in January 1998 - which then earned him a standing ovation.
The petition to Jerry Brown is posted on the web site of deathpenalty.org -

The Galapagos Islands and Charles Darwin
Dec. 11, 2018, 2:36 p.m.
Who was Charles Darwin and what led him to describe what we now call the theory of evolution? These curious questions are ones that I have been following since I was about ten years old. In 1978 I had the good fortune of visiting the Galapagos Islands, 600 miles west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands in 1831 for month as part of a five-year voyage around the world. There he saw birds and animals that helped him formulate some of his ideas about evolution he published The Origin of the Species, 22 years later in 1853. Since then the world, science and religion has not been the same.
Now, at a time when concepts of evolution and natural selection are attacked from certain theological and political perspectives, âThe Darwin Conspiracy,â a novel has been written by John Darnton, a writer and editor for the New York Times. âThe Darwin Conspiracy,â although fiction, is said by John Darnton to be 90% accurate. It covers Darwinâs life and thinking before and after his publication of âThe Origin of the Species.â
I spoke with John Darnton from his home in New York City at the end of October 2005. He began by describing who Charles Darwin was, in his time and place.
The book John Darnton recommends is âSnow,â by Orhan Pamuk.

What do cork, coffee cups, lettuce, and excessive travel have in common? They are all areas of personal choice that have an environmental impact, and they are all things we will be discussing with our guest today on Sea Change Radio. Lloyd Alter is a design professor as well as an editor at TreeHugger.com. This week he joins us and expounds on the virtues of cork, a surprisingly sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel-based products for sound-proofing, insulation, home-building, and, of course, bottling wine. We also talk about the waste generated by ubiquitous coffee-to-go, the diminishing need for travel in the era of electronic communication, and what Alter posits to be the idiocy of lettuce. As many of us think about making New Yearâs resolutions for 2019, Alter gives us some ideas as to what we might put on our lists.

Part 2 focuses on the impact that Hegel, Kant and Plato had on the Nazi state.
The main thesis is captured by Hegelâs thoughts that a man is free when he acts as he himself wills to act, [but since] the state is the true self of the individual . . . What a man really willsâeven though he may not know itâis what the state wills. Liberty, therefore is obedience to the orders of the government. Such obedience guarantees freedom to the true self, even if the illusory self is being sent to Auschwitz.
Mussolin put it his way: âFascism reaffirms the State as the true reality of the individual. And if liberty is to be the attribute of the real man, and not of that abstract puppet envisaged by individualistic Liberalism, Fascism is for liberty.â
Hitler stated: âHowever weak the individual may be when compared with the omnipotence and will of providence, yet at the moment he acts as providence would have him act, he becomes immeasurably strong.â
Pushed on the children through our education system and reinforced through media and culture, the emphasis is on the primacy of the state and an individualâs worth dependent on their contribution to the greater whole.

The provocative and reckless decision to arrest a Huawei official shows America's desperation, taking any means to prevent the advance of the Chinese tech giant. The US regards itself as above the law--exceptional by decree--and has made Canada do its bidding, whatever the economic consequences for it's very junior partner.
