From Alexandria to Zuccotti Park: Destroying books for 2000 years

Our Future Blog
by Richard (RJ) Eskow

11/25/11

The Book Killers have always been with us. Before recorded history they were with us, murdering the scholars and storytellers and mystics of every tribe they ever conquered. They were there when Great Library burned in Alexandria 2,000 years ago. They destroyed the library known as the House of Wisdom when the Mongol Empire invaded Baghdad in 1258. ... In 2003 the United States invaded Iraq .... The National Library burned, and the flames lit the skies for miles around...

New Documentary Tracks Cultural Genocide of American Indians

Rose Aguilar, Truthout: 'From 1879 until the 1960s, more than 100,000 American Indian children were forced to attend boarding schools. Children were forcibly removed or kidnapped from their homes and taken to the schools. Families risked imprisonment if they stood in the way or attempted to take their children back?. A new documentary, 'The Thick Dark Fog,' shines a light on the traumatic boarding school experience through the telling of personal stories. The film focuses on Walter Littlemoon, a Lakota who was forced to attend a federal government boarding school on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota in the 1950s. Littlemoon says his culture, language and spirituality were brutally suppressed.'

The Pentagon Flunks Another Audit

Dina Rasor, Truthout: 'The military-industrial complex is in high alert. They can t really believe that the Obama administration will keep its word and veto any Congressional action that would try and get the Pentagon out from the sequestration problem of cutting over a half a trillion from the Department of Defense (DoD) budget over the next ten years. If they are confident it won t happen, they are doing a good job of panicking over the cuts for public consumption and to protect their turf.'

Occupy Peace

David Krieger, Truthout: 'The Occupy movement is demonstrating its durability and perseverance. Like a Daruma doll, each time it is knocked off balance it serenely pops back up. The movement has been seeking justice for the 99 percent, and justice is an essential element of peace. For decades, our country has been in permanent preparation for war, spending over half of the total annual discretionary funds that Congress allocates on 'defense,' our euphemism for war.... We need to find a way to occupy peace, which begins in our hearts and must expand to encompass the world.'

Republicans in Indiana to Seek Law Limiting Unions

Monica Davey, The New York Times News Service: 'Republican leaders in Indiana on Monday declared as their top legislative priority making Indiana a 'right to work' state, setting the stage for a new battle over union rights that has already consumed many states. The proposal would prevent unions from negotiating contracts that would require workers to pay union dues. The notion instantly set off objections from the state s union leaders, who said the true aim was to weaken labor unions, and from Democratic lawmakers, some of whom had left the state for more than a month early this year in an effort to block similar provisions.'
