Fwd: The present danger -- neoliberalism

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: John H.

To be sure, we live in difficult and dangerous times – times when the forces of power-mad greed seem determined to do whatever is necessary to destroy the world and those in it just for their own acquisition of more power and more stuff.  It is a time when intentional ignorance is seen as a blessing and not a curse; when 'entertainment' is the chief source of knowledge; when service of the self is the highest form of art and accomplishment; a time, in short, where despair creeps ever closer to the surface and seems to call for political action.  But what kind of action can be raised against arrayed forces of neoliberalism?

The neoliberal mantra has come to dominate not just this nation but most of the developed world.  It is a pervasive monster which seeks to dominate all thought and action by rendering the populace incapable of thinking of anything but themselves and their own entertainment or, in far too many instances, their own survival.  The commons be damned, the market is all.  It is all-knowing and all-powerful, to be worshiped as a god of old.  Government exist only to protect the markets and market players (that is the powerful market players) alone.  Those who are not themselves winners in this market-take-all economy are deemed to be surplus – to be cast aside as unnecessary, and perhaps unfortunate, losers; but losers nonetheless, whose survival is of little or no concern of the state.

This is the system under which we have all been subsumed and must now fight our way out of if we are to survive as a viable people.  Henry Giroux offers some helpful suggestions in the first attachment – suggestions we should, I believe, take very seriously.  The second article asks a simple, but important, question – Why aren't Bernie Sanders style Democrats getting more support from Party leaders?  I think most of us know the answer, but it is critical to overcome this impediment if there is any hope for the existing electoral system to work for us in the near future.

There are some questions which never seem to be raised in this nation, but the biggest has to do with our great 'friend' and 'ally' Israel.  Perhaps the time has come to change that before it is too late – if it isn't already.

Fwd: Changed my thinking

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: John H

The attached post has caused me to rethink my position relative to what can best be termed 'Hillarycrats', not the DNC or the elitist leaders of the Democratic Party and the moneyed interests they represent, but those who supported Hillary and Obama in the past three elections.  I also was duped into voting for Obama and even voted for him a second time when I know full well that he misrepresented virtually everything he promised to do as president, but I could not do so for Hillary (I did not vote for Trump).  However, Anthony Dimaggio makes a very persuasive case that dissing Hillary supporters out of some so-called 'principle' is an almost certain route to failure in the effort to seek progressive change in this society.  It has essentially the same effect that Hillary's use of the term 'deplorables' to describe working folks who supported Trump.  If we can't find some way to unite against the power of the moneyed interests and their political lackeys, failure is almost assured. 

This means not just working with mainstream Democrats (not the political elitists), but also making alliances with rural working class folks who, after thirty years of being ignored and dissed by the Democratic Party, deserted the Party and supported Trump in this past election.  The simple fact is that no single group of us can accomplish anything acting alone or simply by focusing on 'identity politics'  where each siloed interest group acts as if their particular interest is the only one which matters.  This is just what our rulers want us to do.  Acting alone simply renders all of us politically impotent.  We must make every effort to achieve a significant level of solidarity and push from the bottom up to force the powers that be to change.  This will require that we, all of us, adopt new attitudes of the collective good, to support one another wherever we can and not fight over whose movement is more important – they all are.  It is only by acting together that we have any chance of achieving our goals.

Fwd: [Art-All-Night] Art All Night Needs Your Help!

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: "Art All Night"

Less than two weeks remain until the 20th annual Art All Night! This year's show will be held April 29th - 30th, at a brand new location: 85 36th Street in Lawrenceville. As always, the show will be open to the public from 4 p.m. Saturday until 2 p.m. Sunday, offering lots of opportunities to view and create art, hear music, and meet friends, as well as everything else you love about one of Pittsburgh's best and most unique events. 

But we can't do it without YOUR help! Art All Night is run 100% by volunteers and requires many people to pitch in. Volunteer shifts are as short as two hours, though of course you're welcome to sign up for multiple shifts. There are many different jobs available for people of all abilities and interests. 

We welcome and appreciate whatever time you are able to volunteer, but we are especially in need of volunteers on the shifts between midnight and 6 a.m. If you're a night owl, please consider signing up during this time! We'll provide caffeinated beverages, water, and snacks throughout the night as well as a catered breakfast (with vegan options). 

You can see what jobs and shifts are available on the volunteer section of our website: https://www.artallnight.org/wp/?page_id=679 

All volunteers get a free t-shirt and are in a perfect position to keep enjoying all that Art All Night has to offer before and after their shift. 

See you at the show!

Fwd: Endless war and more

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: John H

The two attachments document the futility of wars initiated by the United States for the past 15 or so years as well as the prospect for ever more, even more destructive wars to come.  In the second article Mike Whitney makes some assertions which many will have qualms about.  First of all, he fails to mention that the Korean 'Police Action' was initiated by an attack on South Korea by the North, which was joined by China when it appeared that the North was about to lose.  Second, he doesn't mention that North Korea is without question a despicable dictatorship, like other despicable dictatorships we claim to be overthrowing in the name of 'spreading democracy', even though no democracy seems to be forthcoming anywhere we have injected our military 'assistance'.  Virtually everything else in Whitney's article is accurate and unreported in the main stream media of the United States.  In this sense, North Korea has every reason to be terrified of the United States based on their experiences in the past.  So don't discount their desire for nuclear weapons as necessarily an aggressive move toward their neighbors.

There is a reason why the United States is viewed by most of the rest of the world as the primary threat to peace.  Even today U.S. Representative Adam Kinsinger, a Republican member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, acknowledged in an interview with CNN that the Russian military was simply no match for the American military.  This confirms Vladimir Putin's assertion that, in the event of a conflict with the United States, Russia would have no alternative but to resort to nuclear weapons.  Yet many U.S. politicians in both political parties and many high-ranking military personnel are determined to push the U.S. into just this sort of a conflict with both Russia and China.  This is, in my opinion, both a stupid and potentially catastrophic policy, similar to those which led to World War I in Europe.  Somehow the American people must wake up and realize our so-called allies in the Middle East are determined take us into arenas where any sensible person should be terrified to go.  Our desperate determination to rule the world will not produce any benefits for anyone other than war contractors and even those will be short-term and temporary.

Hello!

My brother Danny Chew was in a tragic cycling accident on Sept. 4 last year. He has been staying with friends in Ohio, and now, we want to modify our Pittsburgh home where Danny has lived his whole life, and wants to go home to live with our 84 year old mother so they can take care of each other. Our family thanks you for supporting Danny throughout this very sad time. Desmone Architects have designed a pro bono addition to our house which is wheelchair accessible. We have set up a 100% tax deductible page for donations for Danny on HelpHopeLive. A very generous cycling friend, Gene Nacey of Cycling Fusion, has offered to donate $60,000 for Danny if the cycling world can first come up with $60,000. I am reaching out to all of Danny's cycling friends for help.

The link www.helphopelive.org will get you to the site where you can type in Danny Chew to get to Danny's page.

From the bottom of our hearts, the Chew family(Danny, our brother Tom, and me, sister Carol Chew Perezluha) thank you for helping Danny!

Curling Trivia in Pittsburgh

Creating Literate Olympians Here!

Back in the day, I helped to start the Pittsburgh Curling Club. I wasn't around for long, but I was there at the outset. We should be curling on the South Side. 

In curling, the team that wins the game / match buys the first round of adult beverages. 

Re: South Side Social Update

Hi Kitty & Others,

Great party last week.

Let's all go to the South Side's Oliver Bath House on Wednesday from 6:30 to 9 pm and make a showing at that Community asset and park space, a Citiparks facility.

Sadly, that pool is threatened with CLOSURE and as another point of sadness, the pool is CLOSED all summer when it could be a plce where we teach all the kids in the city how to swim well and play well with others. I would love to see the summer hours at the OBH be devoted to a series of ALL CITY SPORTS CAMPS where older Varsity Club student helpntonlead and instruct younger students anout swimmimg, aquatics, water polo and SKWIM.

Feel free to forward, especially as the National Drowning Prevention Alliance is in townnfor its annual educational meetings along with the inventor of SKWIM.

Thanks.

Introduction Clinics and Walk-up Games of SKWIM with game's INVENTOR on the evening of Wed., April 12, at Citiparks' Oliver Bath House

All citizens, lifeguards, coaches and physical education teachers in the city are invited to participate in introductory clinics and drop-in games of SKWIM with Kevin McCarthy, SKWIM's inventor, starting at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, April 12 at Pittsburgh's Oliver Bath House, Citiparks' historic indoor swim pool on the South Side at 10th Street.

SKWIM is a disk-based team game that can be played with fins in both shallow and deep water with swimmers of various ability levels and ages. Coach Mark Rauterkus has included SKWIM as a vital part of the aquatic efforts of teaching more than 1,000 city-youngsters to swim in recent years including those with Swim & Water Polo of Pittsburgh Public Schools Summer Dreamers. 

"With SKWIM, teamwork, sportsmanship and rule-following are easily stressed with initial interactions among students. But most of all, SKWIM is fun," says Coach Rauterkus. "Water safety, swim ability and fitness are reinforced with SKWIM play."

On April 12, the Oliver Bath House activities from 6:30 to 9 pm are devoted to the SKWIM clinics and scrimmages. Kevin McCarthy from the state of Washington and other local players are going to be present. Pittsburgh is also hosting an annual educational meeting of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and the hope is to get some of those national experts to join in too.

A post-game social from 9 to 11 pm is also planned for the South Side home/office of Coach Rauterkus.
