THE LAW
OF THE JUNGLE: Lessons from the Dung Beetle on “survival of the fittest” and
“beggar thy neighbor.”
September 5, 2019
Grenoble,
France
Dear
Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Historically,
ideologies might be compared to asteroids hurtling towards earth - some hitting
us, while others are near misses; some as big as the Empire State Building,
while others burn out leaving debris as small as marbles. Margret Thatcher once
slyly commented on the Empire’s view of one ideology: "We know who the
“Chosen People” really are. It doesn't matter what others think."
The
U.S. mass entertainment industry has introduced propaganda films to rehabilitate the
German National Socialist Party, providing a revisionist history of monopoly
capitalist competition in the 20th century, and promoting “collectivist
capitalism” under the authoritarian rule of state controls, as against liberal “individualist
capitalism” under the less visible dictatorship of financial institutions which
imposed debt bondage on the masses by way of despotic rule.
All
ideological constructs have a beginning, a middle, and
an end; all have histories that invite analyses: "Baby let me light your
fire!" In this context, the ideology of anti-Semitism and its mirror image, Zionism, has a history which can be delineated.
The
ideologies of nationalism, international capitalism, and international
socialism are, of course, mental constructs which can be found embedded in western
historiographies of the past 100 years and more. Lawrence Stone’s book, The
Past and the Present Revisited (1981), discusses the ideological
blinders worn by different groups, at different times, in different places; and describes the “heroic phase” of historical
writing which began in England in the late 1950s and quickly spread to France
and the United States. The first three chapters of his book,
consist of essays describing: a) radical changes in the questions that have
guided historical research, b) new data that have been discovered and new tools
developed to better understand the past, and c) changes in methods of research
and methods of presentation – particularly “the revival of the narrative”.
“I
feel myself to have been peculiarly fortunate,” Stone writes in the introduction
to this book,
to have lived through, and taken some
part in, so exciting a transformation of my profession. If, as seems likely,
the flow of new recruits into academia is going to be very severely restricted
over the next fifteen years for lack of job opportunities, it is probable that
intellectual stagnation will set in, since it is from the young that innovation
comes. If this happens the past twenty-five years will come to be seen as
something, squeezed in between two periods of quiet consolidation of received
wisdom.
.
. .
All the essays in this book were written in
the 1960s to
1980s, and they reflect a shift in interest from social, economic and political
change to change in values, religious beliefs, customs and patterns of intimate
behavior. In this shift the essays do not merely reflect changes in my own
perspective upon the past, but rather a more general shift in the 1960s to
1980s from sociology to anthropology as the dominant source of new ideas in the
historical profession in general. . . .
[These] essays try to display something of the bubbling ferment of new ideas,
new approaches and new facts which characterize that Golden Age of
historiography. There are, therefore, few aspects of the ‘new history’ which
are not touched upon somewhere in this volume, either generally in the three historiographical surveys or more specifically in the [18]
topical essays [which compose the second part of this book].(p.xi)
Professor
Stone introduces his next to last essay toward the end of this book – Chapter 20, entitled “Old Age” –
by commenting on the subjective considerations that have motivated historians
to pursue certain inquiries rather than others.
It
is a truism that historians tend to ask questions about the past that are of
direct concern to the societies in which they live. In the nineteenth century,
the central issues were nation-building and constitutional law; in the early
twentieth century, they were economic development and class relationships;
today it is mentalité, that untranslatable
French word meaning the way people regard the cosmos, themselves, and one
another, and the values according to which they model their behavior toward
each other.(p383)
In
his first chapter, Stone discusses the critique of history as a social science.
The basic threat is that social science tends to reduce the study of man, and
of social change, to “a simplistic, mechanistic determinism based on some preconceived
theoretical notion of universal applicability, regardless of time and space,
and allegedly verified by scientific laws and scientific methods. Both
historians and social scientists must recognize at least three universal
constraints on human cognition which affect all disciplines that are concerned
with the nature of man.”(p.42) Citing the historian Robert Nisbet,
Stone lists these constraints:
first,
the awareness of the elements of art that lies in all efforts to grasp reality,
no matter how undergirded by pretentious methodologies and computer systems
these efforts may be; second, that however one proceeds, with whatever degree
of objectivity and devotion to truth, he cannot escape the limitations imposed
by the form of his inquiry; and third, that many words through which social
scientists approach reality are unalterably metaphoric.(cited on p.42)
Many
“new historians” have lost sight of these pervasive constraints, leading to
fundamental mistakes in thinking, such as believing that people are reducible
to the most accessible form of evidence that can be found [which today we might consider to be the Google influence]. The gathering of
such statistical evidence has produced a tendency towards an artless form of
scholasticism which is difficult to escape. Another illusion of many “new
historians” is produced by the errors of “essentialism,” the imposition of a
crude and brazen ideology thereby reproducing a dogmatism.
Both constraints “threaten to become as stifling and sterile as those which
first came under attack some forty years ago.”
It
is impossible to pretend that the great journals of the 1930s, Annales and The Economic History Review, are
still as exciting and stimulating today as they were in their heady youth. The
latter is far more narrowly technical than it used to be, and the former, though
still as adventurous and innovative as ever, is so
large and diffuse as to be difficult to digest. Nor does their newer rival, Past
and Present, now have quite the same path-breaking significance that it
possessed only ten years ago [in the 1970s]. This decline in excitement is not
because of any deterioration in the quality of the articles published, but
because it is more stimulating and rewarding to be successfully converting the
unbelievers than to be preaching to the already converted. (pp.42-43)
In
the second chapter Stone presents a new development in historical study which
he thought, in the early 1980s, promised to make a major contribution to our
historical understanding by connecting intellectual and cultural history with
social, economic and political structures in the past.
In
the last forty years collective biography (as the modern historians call it),
multiple career-line analysis (as the social scientists call it), or prosopography (as the ancient historians call it) has
developed into one of the most valuable and most familiar techniques of the research historian. Prosopography is the investigation of the common background
characteristics of a group of actors in history by means of a collective study
of their lives. The method employed is to establish a universe to be studied,
and then to ask a set of uniform questions – about birth and death, marriage
and family, social origins and inherited economic position, place of residence,
education, amount and source of personal wealth, occupation, religion,
experience of office, and so on. The various types of information about the
individuals in the universe are then juxtaposed and combined, and are examined
for significant variables. They are tested both for internal correlations and
for correlations with other forms of behavior or action.
Prosopography is
used as a tool with which to attack two of the most basic problems in history.
The first concerns the roots of political action: the uncovering of the deeper
interests that are thought to lie beneath the rhetoric of politics: the
analysis of the social and economic affiliations of political groupings, the
exposure of the workings of a political machine and the identification of those
who pull the levers. The second concerns social structure and social mobility:
one set of problems involves analysis of the role in society, and especially
the changes in that role over time, of specific (usually elite) status groups,
holders of titles, members of professional associations, officeholders,
occupational groups, or economic classes; another set is concerned with the
determination of the degree of social mobility at certain levels by a study of
the family origins, social and geographical, of recruits to a certain political
status or occupational position, the
significance of that position in a career, and the effect of holding that
position upon the fortunes of the family; a third set struggles with the
correlation of intellectual or religious movements with social, geographical,
occupational, or other factors. Thus, in the eyes of its exponents, the
purpose of prosopography is to make sense of
political action, to help explain ideological and cultural change, to identify
social reality, and to describe and analyze with precision the structure of
society and the degree and the nature of the movements within it. Invented
as a tool of political history, it is now being increasingly employed by the
social historians.
The major contributors to the development
of prosopography can be divided into two fairly
distinct schools. Those of the elitist school have been concerned with
small-group-dynamics, or the interaction, in terms of family, marriage, and
economic ties, of a restricted number of individuals. The subjects of study
have usually been power elites, such as Roman or United states senators or
English MPs or cabinet members, but the same process and model can be and have
been applied to revolutionary leaders as well. The technique employed is to
make a meticulously detailed investigation into the genealogy, business
interests, and political activities of the group, the relationship being
displayed
In
the final Chapter of Part One, devoted to a survey of historiography since the
Second World War, Professor Stone offers a reflection on the revival of the
historical narrative. “Before looking at the recent trends, one has first to
back-track in order to explain the abandonment by many historians, about fifty
years ago, of a 2,000-year-old tradition of narrative as the ideal mode.”(p.75)
Economic
and demographic determinism has not only been undermined by a
recognition of ideas, culture and even individual will as independent
variables. It has also been sapped by a revived recognition that political and
military power, the use of brute force, has very frequently dictated the
structure of the society, the distribution of wealth, the agrarian system, and
even the culture of the elite. Classic examples are the Norman conquest of
England in 1066, and probably also the divergent economic and social paths
taken by Eastern Europe, North-Western Europe and England in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. The ‘new historians’ of the 1950s and 1960s will
undoubtedly be severely criticized for their obsession with social, economic
and demographic forces in history, and their failure to take sufficient account
of political organization and decision –making and the vagaries of military
battle and siege, destruction and conquest; Civilizations have risen and fallen
due to fluctuations in political authority and shifts in the fortunes of war.
It is extraordinary that these matters should have been neglected for so long
by those who regarded themselves as in the forefront of the historical
profession. In practice, the bulk of the profession continued to concern itself
with political history, just as it had always done, but this is not where the
cutting edge of innovation was thought to be. A belated recognition of the
importance of power, of personal political decisions y individuals, of the
chances of battle, has force some historians back to the narrative mode,
whether they like it or not. To use Machiavelli’s terms, neither virtu nor fortuna
can be dealt with except by a narrative, or even an anecdote, since the first
is an individual attribute and the second a happy or unhappy accident.(pp.
81-82)
.
. .
Historians are, therefore, forced back
upon the principle of indeterminacy, a recognition
that the variables are so numerous that at best only middle-range
generalizations are possible in history, as Robert Merton long ago suggested.
The macro-economic moel is a pipe-dream, and
‘scientific history’ myth. Monocausal explanations
simply do not work. The use of feed-back models of explanation built around Weberian ‘elective affinities’ seems to provide better
tools for revealing something of the elusive truth about historical causation,
especially if we abandon any claim that this methodology is in any sense
scientific.
Disillusionment with economic or
demographic monocausal determinism and with quantification
has led historians to start asking a quite new set of questions, many of were
previously blocked from view by the preoccupation with a specific methodology,
structural, collective, and statistical. More and more of the ‘new historians’
are now trying to discover what was going on inside people’s heads in the past,
and what it was like to live in the past, questions which inevitably lead back
to the use of narrative.(p.85)
.
. .
One
further reason why a number of ‘new historians’ are turning back to narrative
seems to be a desire to make their findings accessible once more to an
intelligent, but not expert, reading public, which is eager to learn what these
innovative new questions, methods and data have revealed, but cannot stomach
indigestible statistical tables, dry analytical argument, and jargon-ridden
prose. Increasingly, structural analytical, quantitative historians have found
themselves talking to each other and to no one else. Their findings have
appeared in professional journals or in monographs so expensive and with such
small press runs (under1,000) that they have been in
practice almost entirely bought by libraries. And yet the success of popular
historical periodicals like History Today and L’Histoire
proves that there is a large audience ready to listen, and the new historians
are now anxious to speak to that audience, rather than leaving it to be fed on
the pabulum of popular biographies and textbooks. The questions asked by the
new historians are, after all, those which preoccupy us all today: the nature
of power, authority and charismatic leadership; the relation of political
institutions to underlying social patterns and value systems; attitudes to
youth, old age, disease, and death; sex, marriage and concubinage;
birth contraception and abortion; work, leisure and conspicuous consumption;
the relationship of religion, science and magic as explanatory models of
reality; the strength and direction of the emotions of love, fear, lust and
hate; the impact upon people’s lives and ways of looking at the world of
literacy and education; the relative importance attached to different social
groupings, such as the family, kin, community, nation, class and race; the
strength and meaning of ritual, symbol and custom as ways of binding a
community together; moral and philosophical approaches to crime and punishment;
patterns of deference and outbursts of egalitarianism; structural conflicts
between status groups or classes; the means, possibilities and limitations of
social mobility; the nature and significance of popular protest and millenarian
hopes; the shifting ecological balance between man and nature; the causes and
effects of disease. All these are burning issues at the moment and are
concerned with the masses rather than the elite. They are more ‘relevant’ to
our own lives than the doings of dead kings, presidents and generals.(pp.87-88)
Professor
Stone concludes his survey of post-WW-II historiography with a summary
description the current state of historical studies and the reappearance of the
narrative method of presentation.
The
fundamental reason for the shift among the ‘new historians’ from the analytical
to the descriptive mode is a major change in attitude about what is the central
subject matter of history. And this is turn depends on prior philosophical
assumptions about the role of human free will in its interaction with the
forces of nature. The contrasting poles of thought are best revealed by
quotations, one on one side and two on the other. In 1963, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie entitled a section of a volume of his essays
‘History Without People.’ By contrast, half a century
ago Lucien Febvre announced ‘Ma proie,
c’est l’homme,’ and a
quarter of a century ago Hugh Trevor-Roper, in his inaugural lecture, urged
upon historian, ‘the study not of circumstances but of man in circumstances;’
Today, Febvre’s ideal of history is catching on in
many circles, at the same time as analytical structural studies of impersonal
forces continue to pour out from the presses. Historians, therefore, are now
dividing into four groups: the old narrative historians, primarily political
historians and biographers; the cliometricians who
continue to act like statistical junkies; the hard-nosed social historians
still busy analyzing impersonal structures; and the historians of mentalité, now using narrative to chase ideals,
values, mind sets, and patterns of intimate personal behavior – the more
intimate the better.
The adoption by the last group of minute
descriptive narrative or individual biography is not, however, without its
problems. The trouble is the old one, that argument by selective example is
philosophically unpersuasive, a rhetorical device not a scientific proof. The
basic historiographic trap in which recently been
well set out by Carlo Ginzburg:
The
quantitative and anti-anthropocentric approach of the sciences of nature from
Galileo on has placed human sciences in an unpleasant dilemma: they must either
adopt a weak scientific standard so as to be able to attain significant
results, or adopt a strong scientific standard to attain results of no great
importance.
Disappointment
with the second approach is causing a drift back to the first.
. . .
The second problem which arises from the
use of the detailed example to illustrate mentalité
is how to distinguish the normal from the eccentric. Since man is now our
quarry, the narration of a very detailed story of a single incident or
personality can make both good reading and good sense. But this will be so only
if the stories do not merely tell a striking but fundamentally irrelevant tale
of some dramatic episode of riot or rape, or the life of some eccentric rogue
or villain or mystic, but are selected for the light they can throw upon
certain aspects of a past culture. This means that they must be typical, and
yet the wide use of records of litigation makes this question of typicality
very difficult to resolve. People hauled into court are almost by definition
atypical, but the world that is so nakedly exposed in the testimony of
witnesses need not be so. Safety, therefore, lies in examining the documents
not so much for their evidence about the eccentric behavior of the accused as
for the light they shed on the life and opinions of those who happened to get
involved in the incident in question.
The third problem concerns interpretation,
and is even harder to resolve. Provided the historian remains aware of the
hazards involved, story-telling is perhaps as good a way as any to obtain an
intimate glimpse of man in the past, to try to get inside his head. The trouble
is that if he succeeds in getting there, the narrator will need all the skill
and experience and knowledge acquired in the practice of analytical history of
society, economy and culture, if he is to provide a plausible explanation of
some of the very strange things he is liable to find. He may also need a little
armature psychology to help him along, but armature psychology is extremely
tricky material to handle successfully – and some would argue that it is
impossible.
Another obvious danger is that the revival
of narrative may lead to a return to pure antiquarianism, to story-telling for
its own sake. Yet another is that it will focus attention on the sensational
and so obscure the dullness and drabness of the lives of the vast majority.(pp.94-95)
Finally,
Stone ends his discussion of historiography and the revival of narrative
history with a prognosis of what’s likely to come. He begins by quoting a grim
observation originally made by the French historian Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie in
1972:
Present-day
historiography, with its preference for the quantifiable, the statistical and
the structural, has been obliged to suppress in order to survive. In the last
decades it has virtually condemned to death the narrative history of events and
the individual biography.(p.96)
But
in this, the third decade [the 1980s], narrative history and individual
biography are showing evident signs of rising again from the dead. Neither looks
quite the same as they used to do before their alleged demise, but they are
easily identifiable as variants of the same genus. Despite this resurrection,
it is far too early to pronounce a funeral oration over the decaying corpse of analytical,
structural, quantitative history; it continues to flourish and even to grow if
the trend in American doctoral dissertations is any guide.
It is clear that a single word like
‘narrative,’ especially one with such a complicated history behind it, is
inadequate to describe what is, in fact, a broad cluster of
changes in the nature of historical discourse. These are signs of change
in the central issue of history from the circumstances surrounding man to man
in circumstances; in the problems studied from the economic and demographic to the cultural and
emotional; in the prime sources of influence form sociology, economics and
demography to anthropology and psychology; in the subject matter form the group
to the individual; in the explanatory models of historical change from the
stratified and monocausal to the interconnected and multicausal; in the methodology from group quantification
to individual example; in the organization from the analytical to the
descriptive; and in the conceptualization of the historian’s function from the
scientific to the literary. These many-faceted changes in content, objective
method, and style of historical writing, which are all happening at once, have
clear elective affinities with one another: they all fit neatly together. No
single word is adequate to sum them all up, and so, for the time being,
‘narrative’ will have to serve as a shorthand code-word for all that is going
on.
My hope is that, by drawing attention to
the revival of narrative, this article will stimulate further thought about its
significance for the future of history, and about the changing – and now
increasingly tenuous – relationship of history to its sister social sciences,
assuming that history belongs with the social sciences in the first
place.(p.96)
This
discussion by Professor Lawrence Stone echoes, in its underlying assumption,
the famous warning made by the British anarchist novelist:
"Who
controls the past controls the
future; who controls the present controls the past."
-George Orwell, 1984
* * *
The standard retort to Professor Stone's historiography of “idealist history” is, of course, the Marxist axiom: “Material conditions influence ideas more than ideas influenced material conditions.” This theory of historical materialism is informed by the method of dialectical materialism, which applies the Hegelian "Ideal" (Thesis +Antithesis→ Synthesis) to material relationships. ("Standing Hegel on his head.")
Both Marx's theory and his method stand in contrast to the idealist histories discussed by Professor Stone, in which an infinity of interpretations can be entertained by historians, like Shiva dancing to the Vedas in some imaginary kinship Paradise, absent of social class struggles.
As an alternative to Stone’s idealist historiography, there exists the Marxist intellectual construction of historical materialism, using the conceptual tools of dialectical materialism, - both of which Karl Marx produced almost 200 years ago as a theory and a method for understanding and for changing society. He called his approach : “scientific socialism.”
The
26+ items below will
remind readers of the material conflicts of interest between la classe dominante and la classe dominée
and the increasingly asymmetrical relationships that has evolved over the past many decades which
has caused massive suffering, enslavement, and death and destruction for too many people.
The
lack of class consciousness comes, indeed, at a high price!

Subject: [MCM] Help this brave woman fight the CIA's huge "5
Eyes" spying apparatus
Please
do what you can to help my good friend Suzie Dawson, a brilliant journalist and
intrepid activist, who took on the "5 Eyes" intelligence colossus by
investigating its extension in her own country, New Zealand—
an
apparat that then went after her, and drove her into
exile in Russia, where she's petitioned for asylum for herself and her two
children.
Here
is the essential background, from her website, below which there are all the
links you need to help her out, by donating and/or helping spread the word on
her behalf; and below those you'll find Suzie's update, from
today, on her current situation.
MCM
One Woman Is Taking On Corrupt Power And
Needs Your Help To Continue
Kiwi journalist Suzie Dawson is a prominent defender of famous whistleblowers
and parties targeted by the US, such as Julian Assange,
Edward Snowden, Kim Dotcom and WikiLeaks. For nearly
a decade her journalism and activism has taken on some of the worlds most powerful actors. She has fought against
unlawful spying by intelligence agencies on citizens. She combatted
unfair power-grabs like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. She has consistently
sided with the people, speaking truth to power, and had the courage to speak up
where citizens rights and freedoms have been
eroded.
Since 2012, Suzie's journalism warned that global intelligence agencies were
targeting every day citizens, including New Zealanders. As a result, she became
a target of intelligence agencies - the very people she had warned about - and
in 2015 was forced into exile by their orchestrated campaign of harassment,
intimidation and sabotage.
In December 2018, a State Services Commission Report in New Zealand provided
conclusive evidence that security services were, at times, out of control -
confirming what Suzie had been saying all along. The report found that up to a
dozen government agencies hired private intelligence companies to target
journalists, activists, political parties and insurance claimants in
retaliation for their dissent.
Suzie has secured experienced human rights lawyers to continue her fight
against the "Five Eyes” and to secure her refugee status and asylum claim
in Russia. A series of actions are planned to make the relevant Western
government agencies accountable for their illegal and unreasonable targeting of
her. The focus of this campaign is to achieve transparency and accountability
from the security services (who were funded and tasked to protect Suzie and her
children's rights as citizens yet did the opposite).

Suzie's update:
Hi, all.
You've been asking for updates on my situation,
the good news is I am at liberty until at least September the
5th, when I will find out whether my new asylum application has been
accepted for review. For more details, there are 3 easy ways to get up to
date with my situation and the campaign progress:
1. Campaign Updates are regularly posted on the Fundraising
page: https://gogetfunding.com/help-a-kiwi-journalist-take-on-the-spies-1vs5i/
2. I am filming short 5-min videos regularly and uploading them
to my You Tube account: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPf90W3gtZzueNQTAvXCa5rmUY67EsHw3
3. You can watch or join in our campaign planning in real time on our
Discord server: https://1vs5i.com/discord
This week, my lawyer Craig Tuck will begin
doing interviews on a variety of platforms. Craig is an international human
rights lawyer and death penalty specialist, he is also one of Julian's lawyers
and met with Julian at the Embassy repeatedly prior to his arrest, so can be
asked about a range of relevant issues. If you would like to interview him
on your platform please drop us a line at media@1vs5i.com
Unsurprisingly, when you launch a campaign to
take on intelligence agencies, a coordinated smear campaign is launched almost
immediately in response. So far the crux of that campaign has been explicitly
trying to deter people from donating to or resourcing the legal campaign, and
attempting to undermine the truth of my experiences. The main thrust of the
absurdist arguments is that I didn't "decide" that I was a target until
long after I left New Zealand. This common smear, being planted across multiple
platforms, is easily debunked by examining my actual body of work, which
includes examples of me speaking publicly from 2011-2014 about the targeting of
myself and other activists (and by whom), long prior to my leaving New
Zealand.
Just as one example, here is a wonderful
interview I did in Auckland in 2014 with former NZ Green Party Leader Jeanette
Fitzsimons, who is a political icon in NZ, having led the Greens and been a
Member of Parliament for 15 years. We discussed the targeting of my media team,
as well as the pervasive and concerning intrusions of surveillance in the lives
of New Zealanders. Watch here: https://twitter.com/1vs5i/status/1168200679950888965
But smears are merely meant to distract us from
the work at hand - and for us, that is holding the intelligence agencies to
account, both in court and in the court of public opinion. This short 2-minute
video is of me reminding supporters of why it is so important that we
focus our intentions on the crimes of the powerful hands hidden in the
shadows: https://twitter.com/1vs5i/status/1168215159128698880
Our website is also being regularly updated, and
a slew of new content will be released this week: https://1vs5i.com
I deeply appreciate everyone who is willing to
take the brave step of using their public platforms to support #1vs5i. This
campaign is shining a light back on the abuses of the security services and
intelligence agencies in a way that we haven't seen recently done. I
humbly ask that you please do everything you can to support this campaign, for
us all.
Thanks so much and I'll be in touch

that the first piece below, on how we're literally gobbling up the
Amazon, came out on Oct. 25, 2017—
some two
years prior to this moment's sudden universal screaming by "our free
press" vis-a-vis the
conflagration
in Brazil.
Without
in any way defending the disastrous slash-and-burn policy of Jair "Firebug" Bolsonaro,
we can—and
should—ask
just how bad this conflagration really is, historically: a question
raised judiciously in the second

Amazon
Deforestation Linked to McDonald's, Other Retail Food Giants

Large-scale
agribusiness operations clear large swathes of native forest to make way for
soy plantations.
A
Mongabay investigation, prompted by a report done
earlier this year by the NGO Mighty Earth, suggests that customers buying
chicken from some of Britain’s largest supermarkets and fast-food chains may be
unwittingly fueling rampant deforestation in the Bolivian Amazon and Brazilian
savanna.
Tesco,
Morrisons and McDonald’s buy their chicken from
Cargill, the biggest private company in the world, which feeds its poultry with
imported soy. The U.S. food distributor purchases its soy from large-scale
agribusiness operations that often burn and clear large swathes of native
forest to make way for their plantations.
Ten
years ago, soy traders agreed to stop buying soy from the Brazilian Amazon
following severe pressure from activists, consumers and retailers such as Tesco
and McDonald’s.
However,
in the wake of this agreement known as the “soy moratorium,” global soy traders
simply shifted their sights to nearby areas where deforestation is now rife in
the Bolivian Amazon and Brazilian savanna — a region known as the Cerrado, part of which lies inside Legal Amazonia as
designated by the Brazilian government.

Amazon Burning? – well maybe
not so much
Statistics
indicate this is an average year for wildfires, so why the above-average
hysteria?
One of many misattributed photos doing the rounds. This is from
another fire entirely.
by Catte Black
Today
on Twitter OffG stepped into the current
panic-inferno and thick forest of screaming hashtags
that is the “Amazon Forest Fire Crisis.” The results were thought-provoking.
The
mainstream media message is very simple. There are “record” numbers of forest
fires currently in the Amazon basin. It’s mostly Bolsonaro’s
fault. The G7 – soon to be assembling – needs to act. (Business Insider and The Guardian are
also both very keen we send money to some rainforest charities)
Now,
I’m not a fan of Bolsonaro personally, and that goes
for all of us at OffG. I’m equally very supportive of
preserving the rain forests and wild spaces of the earth. So, the broad sweep
of the message is something I’m inclined to be sympathetic toward.
But
something isn’t sitting right. This is the mainstream media in full and united
chorus, flooding the news space with this one single message. This means
there’s a fairly major agenda, and it’s unlikely to be saving the Amazon for
all the little future babies.

Well,

In

-- are being memory-holed with impunity.
Newly
added is Adam Garrison, a comedian who is neither right nor left, but
enjoys skewering both sides of the political divide. His shtick consists of
impersonating liberal Dan Myers and his Trumpian doppleganger Rusty Myers, flip sides of each other.
Recently,
without even so much as a "sorry, bro," Facebook
deleted his account, wiping out his entire collection of comedy videos which had
been getting hits in the millions. YouTube likewise censored Garrison, but
astonishingly, only the Rusty character.
Check

Subject: [MCM] Inventing "gunfire" from
a wholly peaceful protest, PBS lies about its own report on Israeli attacks in
Gaza
‘Protests turn violent’ with
‘gunfire’ — PBS lies about its own report on Israeli attacks in Gaza
Philip Weiss on August 26,
2019
Last week PBS ran a brilliant piece from
Gaza by Jane
Ferguson that highlighted Israel’s maiming of hundreds or
thousands of young protesters with leg-shattering rifle-shots.
The focus of the piece was Dr. Adnan
al Borsh, a surgeon, who described in precise English
the explosive nature of the wounds and his efforts to save young Palestinians,
captured by a photograph of him falling asleep in an operating room chair at 1
a.m. on May 14,
2018, the day that Israel killed over 60 protesters.
Dr. Adnan al Borsh on May 14, 2018.
The sympathy of the piece was entirely with young men who had
once loved to play soccer in their open-air prison. Ferguson:
Most of these kids have never seen the outside
world, trapped in a tiny strip of land under blockade by the Israeli government
and ruled over by the militant group Hamas.
I watched this report last week as a rapt amateur, with my heart
in my throat. Another excerpt:
Ferguson: Waleed and
his friends say they were unarmed, protesting near the border fence, when he
was shot by a sniper.
Waleed Al Ramlawi (through
translator): The Israelis were dealing with us as though we were an army.
They were not dealing with us as peaceful protesters. We had no weapons, just
our bodies.
John Yang
I was planning to celebrate the PBS New Hour, then
I saw the
packaging of the report. The title on the PBS site is: “Gazans suffer life-shattering injuries when border protests
turn violent.” And host John Yang — I missed this when I was sitting at dinner
— put the blame on the Palestinians in his intro:
For many months now,
Palestinians in Gaza have regularly protested their conditions along the border
fence with Israel. Those protests have often turned violent, resulting in
deaths and permanent injuries.
Militant Palestinians have
lobbed rockets and gunfire at Israel, especially targeting the soldiers at the
border. But some international observers say the response of late has taken a
disturbing turn.
These are… lies. There was nothing in the report to justify such
a misrepresentation. Ferguson never mentioned gunfire. She did say that Palestinians
sometimes send flaming kites over the border that can burn farmland, and that
“the most cynical here encourage the smallest to approach the fence, goading
Israeli guards.” There has been no “disturbing turn” lately.
Ferguson never mentioned rockets, never
mentioned gunfire– except from Israel.

Immediately after 9/11, the US
announced that 'the gloves were coming off' in the fight against al-Qaeda. A
unique Presidential Finding gave the CIA greater powers than it had enjoyed at
any point in its history. Electronic eavesdropping, kidnap, rendition and
water-boarding were the results. The film explores how the CIA fought al-Qaeda
in the shadows, focusing on the monitoring of its communications, the group's escape
from Tora Bora and the problems this raised. We
examine the highs and lows of the intelligence war, revealing how the US nearly
lost outright in 2003 and how al-Qaeda negated its own advances through a
bloody campaign to eliminate Iraq's Shias. This is
the story of the secret war behind the 'war on terror'.

US and Israeli Collectors Buy Up What Remains of Yemen’s Ancient Heritage
Saada’s old city, which is among the world’s oldest human-carved landscapes,
once consisted entirely of historic, centuries-old multi-story homes. Now, it has been wiped out,
after Saudi Arabia declared it a military zone — even the city’s hand-carved
wooden doors have been reduced to ashes.
SANA’A, YEMEN — Yemen
was once described as a living museum, but U.S. made bombs dropped by the
Saudi-led Coalition’s jets have not only killed thousands of civilians and led
to famine and the spread of disease but also pulverized the country’s rich
architectural history and left its inimitable heritage at the mercy of the
highest bidder.
“I remember how light filtered through the stained glass of the patterned
crescent window (qamarias) onto the white
gypsum plaster in the resting room (Deirmanah)
on the top floor. At night, lights tossed dapples of color into the sky,” Saleh Ali al-Aeini recounted
to MintPress from his
partially destroyed high-rise apartment, continuing, “Now, only scattered glass
remains amid a mound of dust and mud, thanks to American bombs.”

Saleh’s ancient
tower-house was one of four historic buildings in
the old quarter of Sana’a that were destroyed by U.S. bombs dropped from Saudi
warplanes in June, 2015. The buildings’ many-storied tower-houses, three of
them rising to 110 feet, were more than 2,500 years old. The newest of them was
more than 1,000 years old, built long before the United States even existed as
a nation.

Barack and Michelle Obama are buying
August 22, 2019 | 11:49am | Updated
Getty, Realtor.com
Barack and Michelle Obama are close to buying a
massive Martha’s Vineyard estate.
TMZ reports that
the former president and first lady are in escrow — aka in contract to purchase
— a 29-acre beachfront plot with a 6,892-square-foot main house. The Obamas were initially just renting the seven-bedroom,
8½-bathroom spread for summer 2019, but apparently loved it so much that they
made an offer.
It was most recently on the market asking $14.85
million, but the Obamas are apparently paying less.
The property at 79 Turkeyland
Cove Road in Edgartown, Mass. — owned by Boston Celtics chief Wyc Grousbeck — has a living room
with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace, a chef’s kitchen and a formal
dining room with giant windows, according to the property’s Realtor.com listing.
The Obamas will bunk in the
master suite, which has a fireplace and private sun deck.

Since the mid-20th century, the world
has only ever heard one side of the most horrific war in human history. During
the 75 years that have now passed, only a single narrative of the great conflict
has been heard. This over simplistic narrative totally ignores the previous
decades of critical history leading up to World War II, ignores vital
information from the actual war years, and outright fabricates lie after lie
after lie. We are today living in the world of the victors of that war and
without an objective, rational and balanced view of our history,
we are doomed to repeat the mistakes. After World War Two, the victors of the
war not only went on to write our history books, infiltrate our media and
public education but even going so far as to criminalize the mere questioning
of the official story's orthodoxy. The truth is, that
our world today can only be understood through a correct understanding of World
War II, the architects of it and the conflicts between Globalism and
Nationalism. Between the old and new world order. The Traditional and the "Progressive". Day in and
day out, has the post-war propaganda been pounded into the minds of three
subsequent generations. Every medium of mass indoctrination
has been harnessed to the task of training the obedient masses as to what the
proper and "acceptable" view of this event should be. Academia, news
media, public education, book publishing, TV documentaries, Hollywood films and
politicians of every stripe all sing the same song. For very good reasons, most
people don't trust the mainstream media anymore. You have already heard the
official history millions of times. This new epic documentary gives an overview
of how Europe has been shaped in modern history. In it, you will find the
secret history, where you will find the real causes of the events. Watch this
series and uncover the real root causes of World War II. It will take you on an
epic timeline that will transport you back in time and lead you on the journey
through the Bolshevik Revolution, the communist attempts to take over Germany;
hyperinflation during the Weimar Republic, widespread unemployment and misery,
Adolf Hitler's rise to power, World War I and II - all the way to the modern
world. It presents the true historical events that lead to this world
catastrophe known as the second world war, as well as
the aftermath. Do be forewarned though, your worldview will never be the same.
THE TRUTH FEARS NO INVESTIGATION.

Gilets jaunes, vues par le N.Y. Times
Les Vacances
des Gilets jaunes, vu par le N.Y. Times
Le New
York Times du 29 août titre en gros caractères: “Les Vacances sont un Mode
de Vie en France au Mois d’Août. Les Gilets Jaunes n’ont pas de Quoi se les
offrir.”
Puis,
sous-titre, un peu moins gras: “La France est
justement célèbre pour ces longues vacances d’été. Mais de plus en plus de gens
ne peuvent plus se payer un départ, reflet d’une société de plus en plus
inégale.”
L’article,
long et sympathique, est accompagné d’une vingtaine de photos en couleur dans
le genre du Je Veux du Soleil de François Ruffin, photos qui
valent la peine de regarder sur le site du Times, même si vous ne lisez
pas l’anglais.
Voici, pour les non-anglophones, la traduction de quelques extraits du
texte du journaliste Norimitsu Onishi,
qui mélange analyses politiques et historiques pertinentes avec ses interviews
de Gilets Jaunes qui passent leur ‘vacances’ sur un rond-point…
AUMETZ, France — Cela ne devait pas arriver comme ça, passer les vacances
d’été sur un rond-point.
Mais alors que beaucoup des Français passaient le mois d’août à la plage,
des manifestant.es Gilets
jaunes se réunissaient près de leur rond-point habituel un vendredi soir. Ils
partageaient des boissons, assis sur une variété de chaises et des sofas jetés
dans leur cabane en bois. Une enseigne au dessus de la porte: “Vous êtes au bon
endroit.”
“A la télé, on te montre tous ces embouteillages,” dit Rolland Gambioli, en référence aux bouchons monstrueux sur les
autoroutes nationales au fort des vacances d’été. “On dirait que tout le monde
est parti en vacances, mais beaucoup d’entre nous ne partent pas. La réalité
est autre.”
Les vacances sont sacrées en France d’une manière qui semblerait bizarre
aux États-Unis, en partie parce qu’elles sont considérées comme partie
intégrale de la démocratie française.
“Nous avons appris à l’école comment des générations antérieures
ont lutté pour notre droit de partir et jouir d’un peu de soleil tous les ans,”
dit Aurélie Mery, une des premières à occuper ce rond-point en novembre 2018.
“C’était dans nos livres d’histoire, d’éducation civique, et passé de père en
fils à travers trois, quatre générations.”
La plupart des Français savent que les vacances payées ont été arrachées
au gouvernement dans la grève générale de 1936 avec la semaine de 40 heures.
L’érosion d’une tradition chérie est le reflet d’une société de plus en plus
inégale, parmi les nombreux changements qui sont en train de déchirer le
contrat social non-écrite de la France et qui ont provoqué la montée du
mouvement des Gilets jaunes. “Ainsi, nous passons nos vacances sur le
rond-point, car nous y avons fait des amis,” ajouta-t-elle.
Les Gilets jaunes ne posent plus la même menace politique d’il y a à
peine quelques mois, et dans pas mal de villages et villes on les a chassé de
leur ronds-points et banni leurs manifestions suite aux violences de l’hiver
dernier. Mais ils survivent comme organisations sociale dans des endroits
déprimés comme Aumetz, petite ville minière dans le
nord désindustrialisé.
“Les Gilets jaunes sont comme un
feu,” dit “Papi,” le plus âgé du groupe et celui qui fidèlement tient le feu
sur le site depuis le début. Parfois, onne voit que
les braises, mais il suffit de quelques moment pour que cela flambe de
nouveau.”

Bonne
synthèse/analyse de Jacques Philipponneau sur les
Gilets jaunes dans le dernier numéro de Creuse Citron en pièce jointe, elle
date du mois d’avril. Bel exploit de leur part, ils auront réussi à rendre
moins pessimiste un ancien de l’Encyclopédie des Nuisances (bon, ils avaient vu
venir cette révolte tout à fait légitime et logique vu les politiques
oligarchiques depuis une trentaine d’années, cf. ci-dessous). J’y joins un
sympathique plaidoyer pro-domo d’un « Vieux Fourneau » local
(on disait « soixante-huitard » il n’y a pas si longtemps …) :

Medium Has Begun Banning Its Users For Disputing
Pro-War Narratives
https://www.greanvillepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-31-at-12.00.10-PM.png
ABOVE: Rainer Shea’s ominous void. The Empire’s long
hand of censorship in
“freedom”is as shameless as it is transparent.
Meanwhile, many liberals
like Mother Jones’ Shane Bauer, not only remain silent,
they cheer the
killers of free speech.
------------------------------
In February of last year, Mother Jones senior reporter and pro-war
propagandist
ShaneBauer publicly demanded
for the popular blogging site Medium to ban anti-war
journalists from its
platform. Bauer, who tweeted that Medium should “reign in the garbage
published on Syria by people like [Caitlin Johnstone]”, was unable to
immediately get his authoritarian request fulfilled. Johnstone, the
prominent anti-war blogger who Bauer wants to silence so badly, wrote
right after Bauer’s tweet
that “Medium has been good to me thus far and I have
never had any issues with censorship there at all.” But Medium has now come
after me for writing exactly the kind of truthful content that Bauer
despises, so I should warn Johnstone and any other anti-war voices on
Medium that they’re not safe anymore either.
------------------------------
https://www.greanvillepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-31-at-2.17.46-PM.png
------------------------------
This May, Medium’s Trust & Safety Team sent me an email saying that they’d
removed one of my articles from the site because they “found it to be in
violation of site policies.” The article didn’t incite violence, encourage
harassment, include spam, or check off any of Medium’s listed rule
violations-aside from one rule that the site has expanded to function as an
excuse to silence legitimate journalism. My article, which was published in
September of 2018 and was titled “4 Reasons Why The White Helmets Are A
Front For War Propaganda,” clearly drew Medium’s attention because it fit
the site’s definition of “Conspiracy theories…which may foreseeably
incite
or cause harassment, physical harm or reputable harm.”
That how they got me: by labeling my entirely fact-based analysis of
the White Helmets’ shady and illegal activities as “conspiracy theories,”
Medium targeted me for harming the White Helmets’ reputation.
Since Medium
hasn’t censored any of its users who’ve tried to link
https://democracyguardian.com/will-the-media-finally-call-out-bernie-sanders-on-his-dark-past-and-present-c1edc2f40864
Bernie Sanders to Russia or accused
https://medium.com/@yoavlitvin/i-told-you-so-caitlin-johnstone-is-a-con-job-8d67467da809?source=search_post---------7
Caitlin Johnstone of antisemitism, the fact that they
would dig up an
eight-month-old article and remove it because it includes unflattering
facts about a known terrorist organization
https://www.mintpressnews.com/un-panel-details-organ-theft-staged-attacks-white-helmets/253441/
tells us how they intend to use the “reputable harm”
rule.
It was this incident of censorship that paved the way for Medium’s next
action against me, one that’s resulted in what appears to be a permanent
removal of all of my articles from the site. This week, I received another
email that said: “After review of the account linked to this email address,
Medium’s Trust & Safety team has found it to be in violation of site
policies…As a result, it has been suspended from the platform.”
