America's Continuing Fight Against Democracy      : Information Clearing House - ICH

America's Continuing Fight Against Democracy : Information Clearing House - ICH: "As an American citizen, born and raised in Gary, Indiana, I want America to be the beacon for democracy that Ialways felt we were and that or government said we were. Unfortunately, as I look at the world from events in my lifetime, it appears that after we defeated Hitler and Japan, we forgot about our true mission of democracy and its attendant morality.

The United States unfortunately, has a long record of fighting against democracy in the world. We showed some of this in Iran when we helped to overthrow a strong nationalist that was democratically elected, Mohammed Mossadegh. We put the corrupt puppet, the Shah back into power (this after the people had ousted him in a bloodless revolution). We did the same when we overthrew Allende in Chile.We replaced him with the mass killer, Pinochet. We did the same against the democratically elected government of Granada. We had all the leaders killed and replaced them; with 'friendly' leaders. Everyone knows that Ho Chi Minh was the popular leader of Viet Nam, and was responsible for freeing Viet Nam from the French. The French even warned America that he was a popular socialist leader and not a Russian or Chinese satellite 'communist,'—but because he was a nationalist, America went to war to defend a dictator"

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot.

The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
