In honor of Malcom X: Truth and Revolutionary Struggle
The U.S. struggle to tutor the world in capitalism's rule of law, its white supremacist 'manifest destiny', for hundreds of years has wrought unimaginable degradation, destruction and death, but more vital for the future, the magnificent courage and resistance of millions, leaders, heritage and hope.
Malcolm X, former Muslim, one of our great revolutionary leaders, was murdered On Feb. 21, 1965, at 39 years old, by U.S. assassins as he was about to address a rally in Harlem, NYC, so fearful were the cowardly oppressors of the political movement his truth inspired.
Malcolm stripped the system bare naked for us. We need to learn from him today. 'They can kill revolutionaries', as BPP Fred Hampton another, great Black leader murdered by the state, said, 'but they can't kill the revolution'.
Will we?

ABE TOLD THE TRUTH...RARELY
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything." -- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) 16th US President Source: Fourth Debate with Stephen A. Douglas at Charleston, Illinois, September 18, 1858 (The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume III, pp. 145-146.)

"I have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from ... the Declaration of Independence ... that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence ... I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it."

[info_onepalestine] Urgent Action Alert--Help Save Dr. Wilkerson's Job
info_onepalestine@lists.riseup.net
Sunday, February 10, 2008

***PLEASE FORWARD***

Last December, Dr. Catherine Wilkerson dealt a blow to local forces of
repression when, after a six-day trial, she was acquitted of the bogus
charges brought against her by the University of Michigan and Washtenaw
County Prosecutor Brian Mackie. She had hoped then to get on with caring for
her patients at the Packard Community Clinic but, if anything, local
Zionists and their minions seem more determined than ever to punish her for
speaking out against the Jewish apartheid state of Israel and its local
backers. The management of the Packard Community Clinic has decided to fire
Dr. Wilkerson and on February 4th they set February 15th as her last day of
work. Below you will find a statement by Dr. Wilkerson explaining more fully
what is happening.

The Committee to Defend Catherine Wilkerson has issued this urgent action
alert because we want to encourage the Governing Board of the Packard
Community Clinic to stop the firing of Dr. Wilkerson and to stop the
harassment of her for engaging in constitutionally-protected free speech
activities on her own time and in her own name. Specifically, we are asking
supporters of Dr. Wilkerson to do two things. First, please contact the
Governing Board as soon as possible. A written letter is considered one of
the most effective forms of advocacy. You can mail one to the address in the
sample letter below and/or send a fax to the Governing Board at (734)
971-8545. You may also leave a phone message at (734) 971-1073 or send an
e-mail to info@packardclinic.org. Second, please sign our online petition,
which you can find at http://www.ipetitions.com/ petition/keepwilkerson/ . A
press conference and a rally in front of the clinic are being contemplated

Digest commentary:
Control of communications and information -- control of the internet -- is central to the bipartisan U.S. world war for global rule. The U.S. mainstream media is loyally silent on the scope and implications of this fundamental suppression of freedom of information, communication and organizing.
Microsoft's attempted hostile Yahoo takeover certainly represents greater concentration of corporate power and control. But, along with other internet and telecom corps. collaboration with the "war on terrorism", beyond the concentration of capital, it is an emblematic function of the "homeland's" deepening fascist state infrastructure.

Digest note: not planned as part of the digest's "Fear & Terror Factory" series, the following is however related and relevant.

FOR WHOM THE BILLION-DOLLAR BLACKWATER-BUILT "HOMELAND" CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE BEING BUILT ...WITH HELP FROM LYNDON LAROUCHE, DAVID HOROWITZ et al.

This old "information" that showed up in an unrelated google search is timely now in the bogus "GWOT" not mainly because it reveals the role of a few well-known scumbags, Lyndon La Rouche & David Horowitz, but it reveals how U.S. PSYOPS creates "intelligence" databases that are grounds for criminalizing political opposition in the name of "national security". In this sense, it is a microcosm of the how the U.S. GWOT, a war against all opposition and resistance to U.S. imperialism, operates. State-terrorist-in-chief-figurehead said to Congress two weeks after the U.S. engineered 911 -- greenlight for the GWOT -- "if you aren't with us, you're with the terrorists", explicitly summarizing the imperialist-zionist strategy in the genocidal juggernaut for "full spectrum" global dominance.

To old - time activists the ridiculous RU/RCP wrap - up would be an hilarious bad joke -- if it wasn't part of the deadly serious manufactured big lies to officially designate, imprison indefinitely, torture and kill those any/all the state calls "terrorist". Regardless of one's views of the RCP or any of the other 'leftist' groups and individuals listed, such fascist state attacks must be exposed and opposed by all anti-imperialist, socialist, progressive and revolutionary people.

“Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them. There is almost no kind of outrage-----torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians .. . which does not change its moral color when it is committed by ‘our’ side. The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”-

The Myth of International Terrorism
The Power of Nightmares: Video Documentary
In the past politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares. The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares.
British author and producer Adam Curtis (“Power of Nightmares re-awakened” BBC), made attempts to re-awaken the human conscience that the myth of international terrorism is a misleading political phenomenon to embark on American ambitions of global hegemony. Michael Meacher, MP and former UK Minister of Environment of Blair’s Cabinet points out the same agenda (“This War on Terrorism is Bogus:”):
“... the so called “war on terrorism” is being used largely as bogus cover for achieving wider US strategic geopolitical objectives.”

"to prevent the use of WMD"...
Pre-Emptive Nuclear Strike by the West a Key Option, NATO Told
By Ian Traynor
The Guardian
"The first use of nuclear weapons must remain in the quiver of escalation as the ultimate instrument to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction." The west must be ready to resort to a pre-emptive nuclear attack to try to halt the “imminent” spread of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, according to a radical manifesto for a new NATO by five of the west’s most senior military officers and strategists. Calling for root-and-branch reform of NATO and a new pact drawing the US, NATO and the European Union together in a "grand strategy" to tackle the challenges of an increasingly brutal world, the former armed forces chiefs from the US, Britain, Germany, France and the Netherlands insist that a "first strike" nuclear option remains an "indispensable instrument"...The five commanders argue that the west’s values and way of life are under threat, but the west is struggling to summon the will to defend them. The key threats are:
· Political fanaticism and religious fundamentalism.
· The “dark side” of globalisation, meaning international terrorism, organised crime and the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
· Climate change and energy security, entailing a contest for resources and potential “environmental” migration on a mass scale.
· The weakening of the nation state as well as of organisations such as the UN, Nato and the EU. [...]

"U.S. Missile System Could Re-Start Cold War, or Worse"
Interview with Philip Coyle, Centre for Defence Information

“We have about 60 per cent of the world's wealth but only 6.3 per cent of its population,” he said. Our real task in the coming period (willbe) to maintain this position of disparity... We will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming...The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts.... The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”

There Is No “War on Terror”
By Edward S. Herman and David Peterson
... In short, the war on terror is an intellectual and propaganda cover, analogous—and in many ways a successor—to the departed “Cold War,” which in its time also served as a cover for imperial expansion. Guatemala, Vietnam, Chile, Indonesia, Zaire (and many others) were regularly subverted or attacked on the ground of an alleged Soviet menace that had to be combated... With that cover gone, pursuing terrorists is proving to be an admirable substitute, as once again a gullible [digest: complicit] media will accept that any targeted rebels are actual or potential terrorists and may even have links to Al Qaeda. The FARC rebels in Colombia are terrorists, but the government-supported rightwing paramilitaries who kill many more civilians than FARC are not and are the beneficiaries of U.S. “counter-terrorism” aid. Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, on the other hand, which does not kill civilians, is accused of lack of cooperation in the U.S. “counter-terrorism” program, and is alleged to have “links” to U.S. targets such as Iran and Cuba, which allegedly support terrorists.[25] Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, and other torture-prone states are “with us” in the war on terror; states like Venezuela, Iran and Cuba are not with us and are easily situated as terrorist or “linked” to terrorist states.
