[Marxism-Thaxis] Stalin Wasn't Stallin'
Stalin Wasn't Stallin' Stalin Wasn't Stallin' Stalin wasn't stallin' When he to1d the beast of Berlin That they'd never rest contented Til they had driven him from the land So he called the Yanks and English And proceeded to extinguish The Fuhrer and his vermin This is how it all began Now the Devil he was reading In the good book one day How the lord created Adam To walk the righteous way And it made the Devil jealous He turned green up to his horns And he swore by things unholy That he'd make one of his own So he packed two suitcases Full of grief and misery And he caught the midnight special Going down to Germany Then he mixed his lies and hatred With fire and brimstone Then the devil sat upon it That's how Adolf was born Now Adolf got the notion That he was the master race And he swore he'd bring new order And put mankind in it,s place! So he set his scheme in motion And he was winning everywhere Until he up and got the notion For to kick that Russian bear Yes he kicked that noble Russian But it wasn't very long Before Adolf got suspicious The he had done something wrong Cause that bear grabbed the Fuhrer And gave him an awful fright Seventeen months he scrapped the Fuhrer Tooth and claw, day and night Then that bear smacked the Fuhrer With a mighty armored paw And Adolf broke all records Running backward towards Krakaw The Goebbels sent a message To the people everywhere That if they couldn't hit the Fuhrer Go down hit that Russian bear (repeat verse I ) Note: Spoken (or sermonized) against a rhythm back-up Recorded originally by the Golden Gate Quartet during WWII, when Stalin was a Good Guy.

[Marxism-Thaxis] Union business agent
Rev. Brian Jordan rips Central Labor Council President Jack Ahern on salary, demands resignation BY BRIAN KATES Nov. 27 2010 New York Daily News www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/11/27/2010-11- 27_rev_rips_union_big_on_salary_demands_clc_prez_resign .html A prominent Catholic priest has demanded a powerful union boss resign for taking a 100% pay hike when thousands of New Yorkers are jobless. The Rev. Brian Jordan, famed for his ministry to Ground Zero workers, blasted New York City Central Labor Council President Jack Ahern for pumping up his income to more than $300,000. Ahern did it by accepting a raise from $40,000 to $80,000 for his part-time job with the labor council, an umbrella group for 400 unions representing 1.3 million workers. The hike came on top of a six-figure salary from Operating Engineers Local 30, which he's led since 1996. Ahern, who talked of putting people over profits at a labor rally on Wall St. last April, earned $247,978 from the local last year, records show. Thousands upon thousands of union workers are out of work and you as a leading figure in the N.Y.C. labor movement have the audacity to demand a 100% increase in pay, Jordan wrote to Ahern. Shame on you! With the citywide jobless rate at 9.2% and nearly 365,000 New Yorkers in the jobless line, Jordan called on Ahern to submit your resignation immediately.

[Marxism-Thaxis] Commodifying Nature in an Age of Climate Change
Commodifying Nature in an Age of Climate Change By Nnimmo Bassey Friends of the Earth International November 29, 2010 http://www.foei.org/en/blog/commodifying-nature-in-an-age-of-climate-change For about two weeks, starting today, the world will be locked into another session of negotiations on how to tackle climate change. The conference, to be held in Cancun, Mexico, has drawn less excitement than its predecessor held in Copenhagen, Denmark, a year ago. The excitement of Copenhagen was partly driven by the false information that circulated that the Kyoto Protocol was ending at that meeting. Though there were serious, but failed efforts, made at that conference to lay the protocol to rest, its first period actually ends in 2012, while a second commitment period will be entered into as soon as the first period elapses. But why would anyone want to kill the protocol and why should it be sustained? The Kyoto Protocol is seen by some as the only legally binding instrument to which the industrialised and highly polluting nations can be made to commit to cutting emissions at source. From this perspective, when countries fight to abolish the protocol, they are simply trying to avoid making any real commitment to tackling climate change. Leave it to the market? One problem with the workings of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the ongoing negotiations is that it bases a chunk of its reasoning and framings on the market logic. This follows the path created by the mindset that has built a vicious paradigm of disaster capitalism, in which tragedy is seen as opportunity for profit. What do we mean by this? Rather than take steps to curtail emissions of greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, some people are busy devising ways of making every item of nature a commodity placed at the altar of the market. Through this, everything is being assigned a value and many others are privatised in addition. What makes this offensive is firstly that you cannot place a price on nature, on life. Secondly, speculators are hyping the utility of the carbon market as a means of fighting climate change. Some of the ways this manifests is through the carbon offsetting projects by which polluters in the industrialised countries continue to pollute, on the calculation that their emissions are being compensated for elsewhere. As Friends of the Earth International stated in a recent media advisory, Carbon trading does not lead to real emissions reductions. It is a dangerous distraction from real action to address the structural causes of climate change, such as over-consumption. Developed countries should radically cut their carbon emissions through real change at home, not by buying offsets from other countries. Carbon offsetting has no benefits for the climate or for developing countries - it only benefits developed countries, private investors, and major polluters who want to continue business as usual. Cancun will obviously be crawling with carbon speculators and traders, as was the case in Copenhagen. And they have good reasons to be there. They will be there because policy makers on both sides of the divide see benefits in the schemes, even though the so-called benefits are pecuniary and are actually harmful to Mother Earth. But as far as the money enters the pockets of some poor countries, the rich countries can go on polluting, having paid their penance. Not just money alone The world appears deaf to the need for real actions to curb climate change, and the focus remains on money. In fact, while many of the items of the Cancun agenda have stalled, with regard to reduction of carbon emissions in the industralised nations, there is no shortage of proposals on how carbon markets can be brought in to give appearance of action. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) is one of such schemes in the scheme. Quick progress is being made on REDD and already, talks are advancing on other variants of the scheme. Indigenous and forest community people are opposed to REDD and object to its implementation, as attention is being focused on forests merely as carbon stocks for mercantile purposes. Significantly, many see REDD as not seeking to stop deforestation, but merely to reduce it. It is also argued that that any reduced deforestation may not be sustained, as deforesters may just shift to another forest or zone to continue with their activities. In other words, REDD is a pretty fiction that may pump money into the pockets of some countries and corporations, but will marginalise forest peoples and will not help to fight climate change. The attraction, as critics have said, is that if this mechanism is linked to the carbon market, it will allow developed countries pay money to REDD-projects that preserve forests in developing countries, and in return receive carbon credits - buying the right to pollute. There will also be strident rejection of any role at all for the
