The Media Normalize A Rightwing Coup d'Etat
Edward S. Herman
02/08/01
<zmag.org>
We have just gone through a remarkable moment in U.S. history, in which a
Republican activist-dominated Supreme Court has refused to allow a complete
vote count in Florida which would have given Al Gore the presidency, and by
judicial fiat simply awarded the presidency to their preferred Republican
candidate. The tricks by which Scalia and company accomplished this were
extremely crude, their judicial reasoning was puerile and cited no valid
precedents for their actions and rulings; and Scalia even wrote that the
final ruling was no precedent but was "limited to the present circumstances,
for the problem of equal protection in election processes generally presents
many complexities." But the ruling was quite clear that varying standards in
counting votes violates the 14th amendment, and could be the basis of
undercutting any election. As Vincent Bugliosi points out in a crushing
article in The Nation ("None Dare Call It Treason," Feb. 5, 2001), "in other
words, the Court, in effect, was saying its ruling 'only applied to those
future cases captioned Bush v. Gore. In all other equal protection voting
cases, litigants should refer to prior decisions of this court.'"
The Republican activist majority on the Supreme Court, usually gung ho for
deferring to state rights, and who "almost never use equal protection
jurisprudence except in striking down affirmative action programs" (USC law
professor Erwin Chemerinsky), were brazenly explicit that they were
overriding a state court, and stopping a vote count, because it might cause
"irreparable harm" to George W. Bush. The fact that stopping it might cause
"irreparable harm" to Gore and deny voters their opportunity to have their
votes counted was of no concern. They then terminated the electoral process
in Florida because there wasn't time for a vote count which they had delayed
to assure that result.
This was a genuine coup d'etat, with the Republican Court majority
simply awarding the election to their favorite and denying the general
populace the right to determine an election outcome. Not only did Gore
already have a national majority, the actual retrospective vote count has
shown that he won Florida as well and thus an Electoral College majority.
But this judicial theft of an election was quickly normalized by the
mainstream media. The court was criticized for its actions, sometimes even a
bit severely, but only for a day or so, and in a tone that hardly did
justice to the events. The Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial on the subject
was entitled "Hail To the Chief," giving Bush immediate full recognition,
and their text says "Accept Bush's win, but also lament the high court's sad
failure." (Dec. 13, 2000) In the New York Times, the court was alleged to
have "rarely seemed so openly political" and "missed the chance to reach an
enlightened compromise" (ed., Dec. 14). These seem a wee bit mild,
considering that the activist Republicans on the court had simply taken it
upon themselves to choose the president, "abandoning any pretense at
behaving like a court of law" (law professor Anthony Amsterdam).
The media had been full of election details for months on end, and here we
had the Supreme Court nullifying all that purported democratic activity by
its hugely political intervention, and we are asked to just "lament" this
lapse and hail the new chief. And in the succeeding weeks the media pretty
much dropped the subject. When in late January, retrospective vote counts
disclosed that the Court action had deprived Gore of a majority vote in
Florida, The Guardian of London reported this under the title "Florida
'Recounts' Confirm Gore Winner" (January 29, 2001). But the Philadelphia
Inquirer and New York Times didn't even find this story newsworthy.
Although Bush not only didn't have a "mandate" but rather lost the popular
voting election and represents illegitimate authority, his monstrous
selections of Ashcroft, Norton, Chavez (then Chao), which were aggressive
assaults on minority groups, environmentalists, and labor, were treated very
gently by the mainstream media (even though both the Inquirer and Times came
out against the Ashcroft nomination). They didn't question these
appointments in terms of the non-mandate of voters, or juxtapose these
appointments with his alleged aim of "civility" and "unity," and the Times
took at face value "his drive for bipartisanship" (ed., Jan. 24). For the
Times, "Bush's Transition [Was] Largely a Success, All Sides Suggest" (Jan.
28, page 1).
With Monica Lewinsky the media were pleased to stay with a topic that had no
inherent political relevance for months on end, giving it hundreds or
thousands of times the space devoted to the Supreme Court's coup d'etat.
This is media manipulation and corruption of a high order. Why have the
media normalized the Republican coup d'etat? One reason is that the
Republicans are far more aggressive in pursuing their political ends than
the Democrats, and in fact the Democrats quickly folded after the Supreme
Court coup decision and failed to seek justice either in the Senate or law
courts. I am convinced that just as the Republicans pursued the Lewinsky
case without relent, so if the Court had treated them as Gore was treated
they would have fought back and the subject would be highly newsworthy.
Of course, the Republicans benefit from the fact that they dominate the
pundit and talk show host cohort and have the Wall Street Journal editorial
page continuously available to press their agenda aggressively and with great
indignation. This enables them to push their cases a la Lewinsky, with
"liberal media" cooperation, whereas the Democrats repeatedly defer to the
"national interest" and need for "unity" in letting the Republicans get away
with serious political crimes (the Iran-contra scandal, the "October
surprise," the Bush administration's secret support of Saddam Hussein).
But the other factor is that the corporate media are part of a national
establishment that is highly sympathetic to the political and economic
status quo, and just as they treated Nader as outside the pale and the two
party and plutocratic domination of the election as highly satisfactory, so
they are anxious to legitimate no matter what the outcome. So while the
Guardian of London may be prepared to find deep flaws in the 2000 election
here, and dwell on the subject, the mainstream media are not. In his
devastating analysis of the Court's actions Bugliosi makes a compelling case
that "These five justices are criminals in every true sense of the word, and
in a fair and just world belong behind bars." Nothing like this in the U.S.
mainstream media. The Philadelphia Inquirer could editorialize that
Clinton's last minute blitz of pardons was "One last outrage" (January 23),
which is what it was, but the far more outrageous actions of the Supreme
Court are merely something "sad" and to "lament," not "outrageous." The
mainstream media are agents of power and in this role handled the 2000
presidential election well.

Satellite map reveals man's destructive nature
<http://www.independent.co.uk/news/UK/Environment/2001-02/satmap170201.shtml>
Unique atlas shows that humans have radically altered half the surface of
the Earth
Reports by Steve Connor in San Francisco
17 February 2001
A new scientific picture of the world, showing how man has left an
indelible mark on the planet that is visible from space, was published
yesterday by scientists who warned that the Earth was undergoing an
unprecedented transformation.
The map, compiled from satellite images, shows almost a quarter of the
Earth's surface has been entirely transformed, either by being covered
over, by roads and buildings or ploughed up for crops. Another quarter has
been exploited to a lesser degree, but in a way that has completely altered
its natural state.
A rapidly growing human population, rising economic expectations, continual
decline in natural resources and increasing pollution by industrialised
countries are leading to a crisis of epic proportions.
This stark warning is contained in a new atlas of the world showing how
humans have had a devastating impact on the natural environment. The
report, compiled by the American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS), was published on the opening day of its annual meeting in San
Francisco.
"We have become a force of nature comparable to volcanoes or to cyclical
variations in the Earth's orbit," the report warns. "As we enter the third
millennium, the destiny of the planet is in our hands as never before, yet
they are inexperienced hands. We are modifying ecosystems and global
systems faster than we can understand the changes and prepare responses to
them."
The main satellite map in the AAAS Atlas of Population and Environment
shows the full extent of human influence. The swath of pink, denoting
complete transformation, covers not only the developed world of North
America and Europe, but vast areas of Asia and Africa. No continent except
Antarctica is unscathed.
"Humans are perhaps the most successful species in the history of life on
Earth. From a few thousand individuals some 200,000 years ago, we passed 1
billion around 1800 and 6 billion in 1999. Our levels of consumption and
the scope of our technologies have grown in parallel with, and in some ways
outpaced, our numbers," the report says. "But our success is showing signs
of overreaching itself, of threatening the key resources on which we
depend. Today our impact on the planet has reached a truly massive scale.
In many fields our ecological footprint outweighs the impact of all other
living species combined.
"We have transformed approximately half the land on Earth for our own uses,
around 11 per cent each for farming and forestry, and 26 per cent for
pasture, with at least another 2 to 3 per cent for housing, industry,
services and transport. The area used for growing crops has increased by
almost six times since 1700, mainly at the expense of forest and woodland,"
the report says.
Images from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer satellite,
operated by Nasa and the US Geological Survey, yielded the principal map on
human transformation of the land, said Lars Bromley of the AAAS's
Directorate for International Programs.
"You can determine whether something is paved over, whether something is
bare soil, a ploughed field, or whether it's normal land cover," Mr Bromley
said. "You can detect a lot of the sources of pollutants, basically from
the northern hemisphere. When people see the extent of the transformation
they are surprised."
Past attempts to estimate global land use, have been hindered by the lack
of full geographical coverage, which is not a problem with a polar-orbiting
satellite, Mr Bromley said. "By getting this eye-in-the-sky view you can
prove that ... this cropland is far more extensive than anybody recognised."
The atlas shows the extent to which soil erosion has affected a substantial
part of the Earth's surface that has gone under cultivation and then been
abandoned. "Worldwide, an estimated 12 million hectares of croplands fall
out of use for this reason each year. Economists have estimated the value
of this lost soil, in terms of nutrients and water-holding capacity, at
about $400bn," the report says.
Fresh water has also been degraded. "Chronic or acute water shortage is
increasingly common in many countries with fast-growing populations,
becoming a potential source of conflict," the report says. "The
distribution of water resources around the globe is highly unequal ...
Canada has more than 30 times as much water available to each citizen as
China.
"Today it is estimated that 31 countries with 8 per cent of the world's
population mostly in Africa and the Middle East have water shortages. By
2025 the figure is likely to have risen to 48 countries and 35 per cent of
population ... The crisis is likely to be worsened by the deteriorating
quality of water, polluted by industrial wastes and sewage discharges, and
spreading diseases such as cholera and schistosomiasis."
The AAAS report concludes that humans have:
* Regulated the flow of about two-thirds
of all rivers on Earth, creating artificial lakes and altering the ecology
of existing lakes and estuaries;
* Fished two-thirds of marine fisheries
to the limit or beyond and altered ecologies of many marine species. In 100
years we have destroyed half of coastal forests and irrevocably degraded a
tenth of coral reefs;
* Contributed 50 per cent more to the
nitrogen cycle than all natural sources combined, leading to the
impoverishment of forest soils and forest death, and at sea to the
development of toxic algal blooms and expanding "dead zones" devoid of oxygen;
* Released toxic metals into the
biosphere through mining and processing that would otherwise have remained
safely locked in stone;
* Had an incalculable effect on
biodiversity. The 484 animal and 654 plant species recorded as extinct
since 1600 are only "the tip of a massive iceberg";
* Become a major force of evolution, not
just for the "new" species we breed and genetically engineer, but for the
thousands of species whose habitats we modify, consigning many to extinction.
"In this unprecedented situation, the need to be fully aware of what we are
doing has never been greater," the report says. "We need to understand the
way in which population, consumption and technology create their impact, to
review that impact across the most critical fields, and to find ways of
using our understanding of the links to inform policy."

US, Britain roundly denounced as heavy-handed after Baghdad raid
NICOSIA, Feb 17 (AFP) -
The United States and Britain were condemned Saturday from almost every
corner of the globe following an air raid over Baghdad, with officials
and media accusing Washington and London of overreaching their power and
showing disregard for civilians.
The strike distanced the United States from nearly all of its Middle
East allies, with only Israeli and Kuwaiti officials commenting
indirectly on the the operation.
Some of the toughest criticism came from Russia, whose Middle East envoy
Alexander Saltanov said on a visit to Syria that "the strikes will not
produce any positive results."
In Moscow, defense ministry official General Leonid Ivashov said the
attack "leaves Russia in no doubt" that Washington is seeking to
"monopolize the role of being a world policeman."
"What the American military is in the process of doing, at the beginning
of the new US administration, is a threat to international security and
the entire international community," Ivashov told the Interfax news
agency.
Iraq says two people were killed and 20 wounded in the Friday raid, the
first on the Iraqi capital in more than two years, which the Pentagon
said was ordered to stem an increased threat from air defenses to US and
British aircraft enforcing flight restrictions in southern Iraq.
In China, foreign ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao condemned the air
attacks and expressed Beijing's "deep regrets to the innocent civilians
killed and injured by this."
France, the other permanent member of the UN Security Council, also
criticized the air raids, with a foreign ministry spokesman saying Paris
has several times expressed "incomprehension and disappointment" at the
strikes.
France stopped participating in US and British air patrols in southern
Iraq in December 1998, citing humanitarian concerns.
Middle East condemnation of the raid was led by Iran, where official
Radio Tehran denounced "signs of the adventurism of the new
administration of George W. Bush, ... (who) is seeking to demonstrate
his strength against Saddam Hussein."
In Cairo, Arab League secretary general Esmat Abdel Meguid said the
attacks had "no justification" and provoked "angry sentiments and
discontent in the Arab world."
The Egyptian parliament declared its "condemnation of any aggression
against the Iraqi people."
Anger over the raids fed passions in the Palestinian territories, where
thousands of demonstrators held up Saddam portraits and set ablaze the
US, British and Israeli flags and pictures of Bush. Some protesters
clashed with Israeli troops, although no one was injured.
Many Palestinians considered Saddam a hero during the 1991 Gulf War,
when Baghdad fired Scud missiles at Tel Aviv, Israel's largest city.
In Israel, Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh warned that "the threats
and risks coming from Iraq should not be minimized."
"For two and a half years there has not been the slightest international
control in Iraq, and Saddam Hussein has produced weapons of mass
destruction and missiles with impunity and is trying to obtain nuclear
arms," Sneh told Israeli radio.
Warplanes raiding Baghdad flew out of Kuwait, whose Foreign Minister
Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah stressed that "the victims of the
oppression of the Iraqi regime are the Iraqi and the Kuwaiti peoples."
But Kuwait, which Iraq occupied from August 1990 until a US-led
coalition drove it out in the Gulf war, tried to keep a low profile,
saying it "has never and will never interfere in Iraq's internal or
external affairs."
There was no immediate reaction from Saudi Arabia, where US and British
planes are also stationed. But Turkey, the base for the planes enforcing
no-fly zones over northern Iraq, expressed regret "that civilians were
affected."
"Ten years after the Gulf War, there is still no peace and stability in
Iraq.
... Therefore, the new US administration should review with Turkey the
Iraq question at first opportunity," Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said.
In Jordan, a key US ally which also has close ties to Iraq, more than
200 people demonstrated their support outside the Iraqi embassy, while
Foreign Minister Abdel Ilah al-Khatib said Amman "never condones the use
of military force against Iraq."
"Anything related to Iraq's military capability should be handled within
the context of the Security Council resolutions," Khatib said.
He was speaking alongside visiting Norwegian Foreign Minister Thorbjoern
Jagland, who called the raids "unfortunate" but called on Saddam to "now
comply with all UN resolutions so that one could suspend the sanctions
against Iraq."
Opposition to the Baghdad raid also united India and Pakistan, which
both insisted the operation was in violation of international
resolutions and caused civilians unjustifiable suffering.
Cuba called the raid part of a "long series of criminal and hostile
actions which various US administrations have carried out against Iraqi
territory."
One rare voice in support of the raids was Canada, where a foreign
ministry spokesman said Ottawa backs "all means necessary to ensure that
the military forces under the regime of Saddam Hussein do not resume
their assaults on the Kurds in the north of Iraq and the Shiite
population."
US media were mostly favorable toward the strike, with The Washington
Post praising "a welcome reinvigoration" of Iraq policy and The New York
Times calling the raid "a timely signal to Saddam Hussein that the Bush
administration ... will not shy away from using force to contain any new
Iraqi military threat."

RCMP Make The Largest Counterfeit CD, DVD Seizure In History
<http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=18618>
On Wednesday February 14 2001, officers from the RCMP Toronto North
Detachment in cooperation with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and the
Canadian Recording Industry Association, executed Search Warrants at two
Markham area residences and four businesses, which netted approximately
30,000 pirated / counterfeit compact discs. This seizure is the largest of
it's kind, in Canada to date and foiled a potential loss of over one
million dollars, to the industry. The RCMP's Toronto North, Federal
Enforcement Section headed this investigation and focused on the
manufacturing, importation, distribution and sale of pirated and/or
counterfeited Compact Discs, Digital Video Discs and Video Compact Discs.
Piracy is the general term referring to the illegal duplication and
distribution of sound and movie recordings. It is alleged that the accused
contravened provisions of the Copyright Act by unlawfully interfering with
an owner's copyright. Like many property related crimes, those affecting
copyrights, refer to issues of ownership and identification.

Discoverer of genetic fingerprinting calls for universal DNA testing
<http://www.independent.co.uk/news/UK/Science/2001-02/dna180201.shtml>
By Andrea Babbington
18 February 2001
The Independent on Sunday
The discoverer genetic fingerprinting says the entire population
should be DNA tested in order to combat serious crime.
Scientist Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, author the system to identify
criminals from their genes, said he had changed his mind about the
human rights implications of a universal DNA database.
"When this idea was first put forward about 10 year ago I had
considerable concerns over civil liberties issues," he told the BBC's
Midlands Report documentary.
"On reflection, I'm now actually in favour of this.
"The technology is there to make a DNA database for every single one
of the 60 million citizens who make up the UK.
"I think the potential of this database to prosecute serious crime,
to save the lives and the misery of future victims is very
substantial.
"This is a proposal that requires very, very serious and careful
thought," added Professor Jeffreys, 51, from the University of
Leicester, who was knighted for his work on DNA fingerprinting.
Up to 800 samples from crime scenes are matched to a name from the
database each week.
The Government is spending £143 million to triple the size of the
National DNA Database, which already holds more than a million
samples from suspects who are charged, reported, cautioned or
convicted for a recordable offence.
Under existing law, samples from anyone eliminated from a criminal
investigation must also be removed from the database and since 1995,
150,000 samples have been deleted and destroyed.
But a change in the law proposed last month by Home Secretary Jack
Straw in the Criminal Justice and Police Bill will allow the details
of innocent people to be stored in the database.
All "lawfully-obtained" samples could be kept, including those taken
under duress from suspects without their consent, and the Bill would
also permit samples given voluntarily in mass DNA screenings to be
retained.
James Welch, legal director of human rights group Liberty, told the
BBC documentary that the group strongly opposed a universal DNA
database.
"This is very personal information over which ultimately you have no
control," he said.
"People are developing new uses of DNA material so, effectively, you
are asking people to give information about themselves when they
don't know how that information will be used in the future."

Illegal workers fueled New Economy, study says
<http://www.arizonarepublic.com/news/articles/0219undocumented19.html>
by Daniel González
The Arizona Republic
Feb. 19, 2001
Undocumented workers in the United States played a significant role in the
growth of the New Economy, according to a study of Census Bureau and Labor
Department data.
Until now, the New Economy has been linked with high-tech job growth. But
growth in the high-technology field spawned a second tier of low-wage jobs
in the service sector, and many of those jobs were filled by undocumented
workers, according to the study by Northeastern University's Center for
Labor Market Studies.
"It's really a tale of two cities," said Paul E. Harrington, one of the
study's authors. "Yeah, we had a lot of high-tech job growth. But with
that, we had a lot of growth in low-end service jobs to serve that increase
in high-end job growth."
Many of the low-wage jobs could be eliminated in an economic downturn,
putting large numbers of undocumented immigrants out of work, Harrington said.
The study, to be released this week, may shed light on the undocumented
workforce in Arizona. Almost no research has been done on the number of
undocumented immigrants living in the state or their impact on the economy.
The study suggests that the actual number of undocumented workers in the
United States increased to at least 8 million, and may have been as high as
11 million, in the past decade. That is far higher than the 6 million
estimated by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
If that is true, the number of undocumented immigrants in Arizona may also
be significantly higher than the INS estimate of 139,000.
"I'm inclined to believe it," said Russell Ahr, an INS spokesman in Phoenix.
The number of undocumented workers in Arizona is "much more significant
than a lot of people will want to admit," he said.
The majority of undocumented residents find work in the landscaping, hotel
and motel, fast food, janitorial and construction industries, Ahr said.
The INS is expected to update its estimate of the number of undocumented
immigrants in the country within a few months, said Don Mueller, an INS
spokesman in Washington, D.C. But Mueller said it is difficult to believe
the INS figures are so far off.
Non-agriculture wage and salary jobs in Arizona swelled to 2.25 million in
the past decade, up 772,500 from 1990, according to Dan Anderson, research
administrator for the Arizona Department of Economic Security. The state
does not track the number of undocumented workers who fill those jobs,
Anderson said.
It is reasonable to assume, however, that undocumented workers filled many
of the low-wage jobs created during the 1990s, as other labor pools dried
up, said Tracy Clark, an economist at Arizona State University.
"Because the economic boom has gone on for so long," Clark said, "there
weren't a lot of places left where we could have drawn from to do these
jobs unless it was the undocumented."
Without undocumented workers, Clark said, the jobs "either would not have
gotten done, or would have been done by far fewer people."
He agreed that undocumented workers would be among the most vulnerable in a
recession.
The apparent growing reliance on undocumented workers to fill low-wage jobs
raises questions about U.S. immigration policy, said John Keeley, a
research associate at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington,
D.C., think tank that favors tighter restrictions on immigration.
"It's one of the dirty secrets of U.S. immigration policy," Keeley said. A
million immigrants enter the country each year, about 350,000 illegally,
and most end up filling low-wage jobs.
"I would like to see (a policy) that welcomes immigrants and gives them a
plausible chance at the American dream," he said.
During their first summit Friday in Mexico, President Bush and Mexican
President Vicente Fox announced the start of high-level discussions on
immigration issues. Among them were the possibilities of easing migration
of Mexican guest workers across the border and granting legal residency to
hundreds of thousands of undocumented Mexicans now working in the United
States.
The Census Bureau reported in December that the U.S. population had grown
to 281 million, 7 million more than the census had estimated a few months
earlier.
The reason for the gap is unclear. But after comparing Census Bureau
records and Labor Department data, the Northeastern University economists
concluded that a substantial increase in undocumented immigrants accounted
for 2 million to 5 million of the additional 7 million, Harrington said.
Underestimates varied widely by state, he noted, but states with the
highest numbers of new immigrants in the 1990s - including Arizona - also
had the largest gaps between expected population size and actual number of
people counted in 2000.
