Chicago-based historian and activist Paul Street cuts through the fog of fantasy and wish-fulfillment that makes up much of political discourse in the U.S. left for a sober assessment of the Obama administration in the real world of power and empire. The Empire's New Clothes uniquely measures Obama's record against the expectations many of his supporters hoped he would live up to. Taken together, it is a startling indictment not just of the current president and his people-proof, reform-proof but an indictment of what passes for the U.S. left.
Was the US and NATO's Libyan intervention a humanitarian campaign to protect Libyans against Muammar Gaddafi’s threats of mass violence and genocide, or was it a cynically “rehearsed military expedition” to force regime change and wield Western authority in the region? Far from being an action to save lives, NATO’s “indiscriminate” bombing of civilian targets and cities such as Sirte (Gaddafi’s birthplace) resulted in genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and civil war..
African scholar Mahmood Mamdani challenges the fabricated
stats and fraudelent history popularized by the Save Darfur Coalition and the advocates of robust U.S. military intervention in Sudan. The Save Darfur Coalition, he argues is not a peace movement but a war dance, blocking a peaceful settlement by spreading falsified casualty figures, groundless charges of genocide, and offering the U.S. public an appealing but misleading case for military intervention.
The year that saw an African American run for the presidency as a viable contender also witnessed a truly remarkable silence. While millions of words written about the political ascent of one black man, there was virtually nothing about the descent of black leadership into well-nigh total ineffectiveness. Barack Obama’s personal itinerary was mapped in the minutest detail. The larger itinerary of African Americans was mostly ignored.

National Day of Protest
I am really glad you made a point of emphasizing resistance. We need a movement that can stop this system from doing what it does, once and for all.
This Friday is October 22, the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation. Wear black, and get into the streets: http://www.october22.org/Assembly2010.html for announced protests nation-wide.
"The days when this system can just keep on doing what it does to people, here and all over the world…when people are not inspired and organized to stand up against these outrages and to build up the strength to put an end to this madness…those days must be GONE. And they CAN be."

Danroy Henry
And yet another disgusting outrage last Saturday! Danroy Henry, a Black student (having made all the "right choices") was murdered in a car by cops. This system has no future for the youth -- but the revolution does!
The cover-up began immediately, as cops point guns at the other youth. How is this systemic? Watch "Yes there's a conspiracy... to get the cops off" on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMG0qu3XP7k
To paraphrase Bob Avakian, all Black youth live under a death sentence that may be executed by the police at any time, and this affects all Black people.
