Michael Pugliese quoting Bogdan Denitch and Jason Schulman: >What >are the bullshit artists and blowhards who opposed NATO intervention >doing?" > >(Though you should make it clear that Bogdan doesn't think all who >opposed intervention were bullshit artists and blowhards.) Oh, I'm so relieved. Denitch could serve as a dictionary illustration of a blowhard - big, egomaniacal, and loud - whose bellowing could clear a large room in seconds. And anyone who trusts an imperial ...

Independent (London) - January 29, 2001 Pentagon Knew Nato Shells Contained Hazardous Nuclear Waste by John Lichfield Some shells fired in the Gulf and Balkan wars contained a type of recycled nuclear waste that is much more hazardous than depleted uranium, according to a book to be published in France next week. The book, Depleted Uranium: The Invisible War, could change the debate on whether weapons used by the United States and Nato caused widespread sickness among war veterans and civilians. ...

32292 Margaret Sanger on "the Negro" -- rank: 1000

[quoted by Sam Smith in the Progressive Review] MARGARET SANGER IN A LETTER TO DR. CLARENCE GAMBLE, Dec 19, 1939: We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of thei ...

"...Third Worldist perspectives, which may earlier have had a limited utility, were now [by the 1970s] completely useless. We understand Third Worldism to be defined by the notion that the primary contradiction and antagonism of the international capitalist system is between the capital of the First World and the labor of the Third. The potential for revolution thus resides squarely and exclusively in the Third World. This view has been evoked implicitly and explicitly in a variety of depen ...
