Carl and David

On the topic of racism, I suggest in addition to the African American scholars often referred to by you both, as well as  CLR James, Ernst Mandel. In his brief book, “The Meaning of World War Two,” recommended by David, it refers to the true origins of the war, and he clarifies the use of racism not as the “cause of war,” but as a tool to vilify those we choose to victimize. 

I was watching a British series the other evening, dated 2004, dealing with WW2, and Nazi occupation, where the German Commander is saying, “the reason for this war is we need to get rid of the Jews.” 

Only when we understand the true cause are we able to create and implement a solution.

>> Two suggestions on how to defeat New York Times' limited reading:
>> 
>> 1. Turn off Javascript when reading pages from nytimes.com. This is easy to do in Firefox with the uMatrix browser add-on. This will also make all browsing faster.
>> 
>> 2. Delete nytimes.com cookies after you no longer have any nytimes.com windows/tabs open. This is easy to do in Firefox with the Cookie AutoDelete add-on.
>> 
>> These add-ons might work in other browsers as well, but I only recommend free software (software we're free to run, inspect, share, and modify). So I recommend Firefox.

>> https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1221131053609312256 -- "This crowd in Baghdad for example has been more circulated on social media than scenes of the hundreds of thousands in the anti-US protests of yesterday."
>> 
>> https://twitter.com/asadabukhalil/status/1220918811517284352 -- "A million people took to the streets in Iraq again act US occupation but NYT managed to cite five people who are in favor of US occupation. Lousy journalism. ““I reject this kind of protest — it is an abuse of the American and foreign presence,””"
>> 
>> A followup from Hussain Bakar says the BBC is following suit in not covering the Baghdad protests properly either:
>> 
>> https://twitter.com/HussainBakar1/status/1220920564941873153 -- "To some extent, same thing with the BBC too. A correspondent spoke about people who still yearn for the US' presence."
