Watched it twice: once with stopping/pauses at each art

sanda_artistNYC - 11/11/2012 - 11:19

I watched the video twice, with pauses/stop for each art, second viewing. I am fascinated with the equal weight given to Israel lobby as to corporations for running the U.S. - an exaggeration. Some of it is "tail wagging the dog" in re U.S. "taking orders from Israel".(1)

I only take issue with using Hebrew style letters for two Jews' names on Wall Street, of two big corporations, as subtle Jew baiting and exaggeration of Wall Street = Jews. I think the video is powerful, funny and serious, and often great. I have mixed feelings, as an (atheist) Jew, at seeing a Star of David on a chain around Obama's neck. So my criticism of that cartoon would be as I already stated as for the other art I noted.

My history of comments on BAR will serve as background. My art shows my opposition to U.S. and Israeli governments policies towards Palestinians and Gaza, going back many years. I will continue to suggest Constantine's Sword by James Carroll, 2001 re Christians and views of Jews, including basis of stereotype of Jews and exaggerated control of money.

My art protesting drones began Jan. 26, 2009, the Monday after Obama sent some dropping missiles, the same week as his inauguration as President. My art protesting police violence began with a sign, "Equal Justice for All from the Top on Down" in 1996(2) and specifically, art protesting the killing of Amadou Diallo began in Feb. 2000 and has continued for many years. I base my information on Killed by NYPD Since Amadou Diallo by the Oct.22 Coalition, one of the founders is Carl Dix.

(1) Mumia Abu-Jamal, in one of his commentaries, said it was "the tail wagging the dog" when someone claimed Israel ruled U.S. foreign policy.

(2)Equal Justice for All sign is in my art ongoing up to present and can be seen on my art webpages.

There was and still is a Martin Luther King who is lionized, memorialized, and fossilized. And there was and still is a Dr. King who was something else again. DJ Sese's mixtape liberates Martin Luther King by restoring him to his context in the truly revolutionary environment of the Freedom Movement of the 50s and 60s.

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.
