Michael Jones, Ph.D. Torches of Freedom On March 31, 1929, a woman by the name of Bertha Hunt stepped into the throng of pedestrians in their Sunday-best clothing marching down Fifth Avenue in what was known in New York as the Easter Parade, and created a sensation by lighting up a Lucky Strike cigarette. Eddie Bernays, whose wife belonged to the Lucy Stone League, which argued that women should be able to keep their own (i.e., their father’s) names after marriage, was a fervent feminist, but his was a feminism with an ulterior motive.

Casualties of the Iraq War Casualties of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (beginning with the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and continuing with the ensuing occupation and insurgency) have come in many forms, and the accuracy of the information available on different types of Iraq War casualties varies greatly. The table below summarizes various estimates of the Iraqi casualty figures. For troops in the U.S.-led multinational coalition, the death toll is carefully tracked and updated daily, and the names and photographs of those killed in action as well as in accidents have been published widely. A total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012.[11] Regarding the Iraqis, however, information on both military and civilian casualties is both less precise and less consistent. Estimates of casualty levels are available from reporters on the scene, from officials of involved organizations, and from groups that summarize information on incidents reported in the news media.

Alan Freeman | Association for Heterodox Economics - Academia.edu "These slides were presented in Cape Town, South Africa, at the April 10 national conference of ILRIG, a trade union and social movement educational institution founded in the mid-80s. Because of the demand for the slides I have uploaded it unrevised; a final version including full sources will replace this and, if the data is re-used, some reference should be made to its provisional nature. The presentation explains the interlinked causes of world poverty and the 2008 crash. To this end, unusually, it begins with the sharp rise in food and commodity prices which accompanied the fake boom of 2001-2008 and led to the crash, and ends with the structural causes of US decline which is, in fact, the underlying cause of the problems of the world economy. World Capitalism, early in the twentieth century, thus entered a new phase in which the world impact of the USA’s decline was no longer economically, socially, nor politically sustainable.
No Logo by Naomi Klein (part I) 'As a private person, I have a passion for landscape, and I have never seen one improved by a billboard. Where every prospect pleases, man is at his vilest when he erects a billboard. When I retire from Madison Avenue, I am going to start a secret society of masked vigilantes who will travel around the world on silent motor bicycles, chopping down posters at the dark of the moon. How many juries will convict us when we are caught in these acts of beneficent citizenship?' David Ogilvy, founder of the Ogilvy & Mather advertising agency, in Confessions of an Advertising Man, 1963 The astronomical growth in the wealth and cultural influence of multi-national corporations over the last fifteen years can arguably be traced back to a single, seemingly innocuous idea developed by management theorists in the mid-1980s: that successful corporations must primarily produce brands, as opposed to products.

The Taliban For more on the Taliban see Timeline: The Taliban. The Taliban ("Students of Islamic Knowledge Movement") ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001. They came to power during Afghanistan's long civil war. Although they managed to hold 90% of the country's territory, their policies—including their treatment of women and support of terrorists—ostracized them from the world community. The Taliban was ousted from power in December 2001 by the U.S. military and Afghani opposition forces in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the U.S. The Taliban's rise to power The Taliban are one of the mujahideen ("holy warriors" or "freedom fighters") groups that formed during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan (1979-89). Groups of taliban ("religious students") were loosely organized on a regional basis during the occupation and civil war. Afghanistan under the Taliban The Taliban's popularity with the Afghan people surprised the country's other warring factions.
