Allan Nairn on Aceh, tsunami January 4, 2005 Derrick O'Keefe, Seven Oaks Magazine 1. Could you tell us the latest with respect to the devastation caused by last month's earthquake and tsunami, specifically in Aceh?

The west coast is hardest hit and whole villages are leveled. But this is not the first catastrophe to hit Aceh. Previously, ...

I don't have stats for the 1950s at hand, but in the 1960s, S Korea received a total of $1.6 billion in "official unrequited transfers" - free money from foreign governments, meaning U.S. aid.

Excellent idea. We've got a friend who runs focus groups for a living - maybe she can help us out. What do today's god-users need in a deity? What's the proper mix of support and critique? Stern disciplinarian or warm bath of friendly light? One god or man ...

These are good suggestions, esp 2 & 3, but it's too late for that. The major feature of the paperback is a 10,000-word afterword on the economy of the last couple of years.

19138 [lbo-talk] red-state fascism -- rank: 1000
[thanks to Michael Pug] <http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/red-state-fascism.html> The Reality of Red-State Fascism Year's end is the time for big thoughts, so here are mine. The most significant socio-political shift in our time has gone almost completely unremarked, and even unnoticed. It is the dramatic shift of the red-state bourgeoisie from leave-us-alone libertarianism, manifested in the Congressional elections of 1994, to almost totalitarian statist nationalism. Whereas the conser ...

Also...pre-revolutionary development was important (e.g., the Cuba vs. Haiti comparison), but holding on to good development numbers hasn't been easy over the last few decades. The number one proof of that: Argentina, which had incomes near U.S. levels 100 years ago, and now doesn't. Doug
