Jeremy Corbyn with Yanis Varoufakis (ONE of TWO)
Sept. 25, 2018, 5:14 p.m.
A Conversation at the Edinburgh Book Festival, August 20, 2018
Once a year a tented village goes up in the heart of Edinburgh for the annual Book Festival. The best attended events of 2018 were political panels on how to curb the power of corporations and banks; and the parallel fights for public education and health, and the resistance against privatization across Europe and the Americas.
Yanis Varoufakis is a Greek economist, academic and politician. He was a Syriza member of the Hellenic Parliament and served as the Greek Minister of Finance from January to July 2015. He resigned in protest over the imposition of structural adjustment and bailout loans on the Greek people.
Varoufakis has since appeared in numerous debates, lectures, and interviews. In February 2016, he co-founded the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25), and subsequently backed a Remain in the European Union vote in the UK's Brexit referendum of 2016.
Jeremy Corbyn is a leader of the British Labour Party and of the Opposition in Parliament since 2015. He was first elected MP for Islington North in 1983. Corbyn identifies as a democratic socialist.
He advocates reversing austerity cuts to public services and welfare funding made since 2010; and proposes re-nationalization of public utilities and the railways. An anti-war and anti-nuclear campaigner since his youth, he broadly supports non-interventionism and unilateral nuclear disarmament.
In the snap 2017 general election, Labour (under Corbyn) again finished as the second largest party in parliament, and increased their share of the popular vote to 40%. That increase in vote share was the largest in a single general election since 1945.
Corbyn and Varoufakis were recorded on August 20, 2018 at the Edinburgh Book Festival.

Dalton, Joan — Dogs in Juvenile Hall
Sept. 25, 2018, 4:26 p.m.
I once had the good fortune of seeing âIf Animals Could Talk,â a movie made by Jane Goodall. A segment was about The MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn, Oregon. The boys incarcerated there have committed serious criminal offenses; some of them are given an opportunity to train dogs, develop relationships with the dogs and in doing so learn responsibility, patience and respect for other living creatures. There is a zero recidivism rate among the juvenile inmates who spend time training dogs at MacLaren.

The Anti-Federalists - Part Fourteen
Sept. 25, 2018, 1:08 p.m.
Centinel's Letter no. 14 is a first in that he quotes at length a firsthand witness to the Federalists' sleight-of-hand. Luther Martin, a participant in the Constitutional Convention, is appalled at the Founding Jugglers' brazen and cynical power grab. At great risk to himself, he sounds a detailed alarm and warns his fellow countrymen of the perfidy occurring right under their noses. Centinel's prescient warnings portend today's Federal Leviathan.
Concerns about the direct election of Senators, ultimately realized by the Seventeenth Amendment, are touched upon. In lieu of a direct taxation upon the people, Martin proposes taxing the States only in event of delinquency, but his idea is rejected. Simply put, the now-fledgling Congress will ultimately tax everything (and everyone) under the Sun after forcibly corralling the States into one whole. Worse, Congress will be subject to virtually no checks or balances.

Justice for Laquan McDonald - Convict Jason Van Dyke
Sept. 24, 2018, 8:56 p.m.
Chicago has a long history of systemic racism, police abuse and institutionalized torture to get mostly Black and Latino youth to confess to crimes they did not commit. Both the State and the City of Chicago admitted that in 2015 legislation following years of community organizing and activism.

The Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression has been organizing, educating and fighting for justice and an end to police impunity for 45 years.
Frank Chapman, field organizer for Stop Police Crimes, the campaign of CAARPR that will see an elected civilian board in control of policing in Chicago, gives an over view on how that campaign created the political space to have the cop that shot Laquan McDonald 16 times, prosecuted for 1st Degree Murder; no small accomplishment when the Mayor and the States Attorney and City Council were involved in a coverup to hide video evidence that the official narrative of the shooting was a lie.
One of the awardees was Jamie Kalven, investigative reporter
from the Invisible Institute, who doggedly followed up on a tip that video of the shooting existed, and that it contradicted the "official" story of the police. Officers on the scene, lied in their official reports of the shooting and were caught in the act of destroying video evidence from the security camera of a fast food restaurant that captured the shooting. Kalven speaks to the significance of this moment in the long struggle for justice and human rights in Chicago and it historical antecedent.

Episode 2018.05. Isolated Family Loneliness, A Precursor to School Violence
Sept. 24, 2018, 2:43 a.m.
If the liver fails the body, the body without proper intervention will cease operating, then die a very discomforting death. If the heart fails, ceasing operation is death. The pancreas, or kidney, operation declines but death is more easily stayed. In a society, the individual is a cell attached to a unit called a family. One family alone is likable to a tissue or collection of cells; placed with similarly cultured and specified cells, youâll get an organ. Yet that organ, itself is not a stand alone functionary of the body. The Heart, Kidney, Pancreas, Liver, Intestines, Colon and all other bodily functionaries have within themselves organs. When these inner-structures, organs, are encased by a separating membrane with working circulatory systems, setting themselves apart from other similarly structured functionaries, we call them Organs. In a society, the first is a community â that is the inner organ structure, in America this might also be considered a county. Each state is similar to the functionary or Organ within the body. In a society if one family is afflcted with a disease which deveastes its entire line, the whole barely notices just like if one tissue in an inner organ is damaged, the body acknowledges the problem subtly but continues on without much interruption. However if the disease afflicts multiple inner organs across multiple organs, then the body will itself become afflicted by disease. We have entered a period in time when such afflictions, isolated to a few communities have produced outcomes which cost lives in school buildings.

More of Dr. Robert Lustig's engaging and wide-ranging talk on the poisoning of the American diet. He argues that the cause of our epidemic of obesity, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease is sugar, specifically fructose.
It's not just "empty calories," says Lustig: it's actually poison.
Industry is increasing the amount of fructose in foods, including and especially soda. High fructose corn syrup is not the only villain: many sugars are bad, ...

Prof. Steven Salaita: Israel/Palestine - Deconstructing the language of the oppressor
Sept. 22, 2018, 12:27 p.m.
Salaita speaks with a gift for revealing how language, in the hands of illegitimate power, colonizers, can be weaponized to justify white supremacy, capitalism, theft of land and culture, and negation of identity. He comments on the Sioux "water protectors, the significance of the statement, "Water is Life" and indigenous solidarity in the similar yet different conditions, as human beings put their bodies in the path, of State power intent on domination through displacement and exploitation.
