So Long, Summers

Drilling beneath the headlines DAILY.

>> TRUTHDIG ORIGINAL REPORTS:

Robert Scheer on Larry Summers
"So Long, Summers" -- Finally! The announced departure of Lawrence Summers as the president's top economic adviser is welcome news. Harvard's loss in taking back its $586,996-a-year professor and "president emeritus," who is also paid millions by Wall Street on the side, is the nation's gain.

Scott Ritter on the Future of Iraq
"Obama and Iraq: 'Through a Glass, Darkly'" -- The president and the American people will all too soon come to recognize that the quagmire in Iraq is far from over. In fact, one might say it has only just begun.

Bill Boyarsky on the Conservative Threat
"Don't Write Off the Far Right" -- It's comforting for liberals to view the conservative world through the MSNBC bubble and mitigated by the opinions of Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. But it's not the real world.

>> ARTS AND CULTURE:

Larry Gross on Lady Gaga and the Senate
"Is It Lady Who's Gaga or the Senate?" -- We live in two simultaneous but radically incongruous realities, where undemocratic arrangements negotiated in the 18th century contend with commercial media industries that covet the enlightened youth.

>> DON'T MISS THE BEST OF OUR SYNDICATED COLUMNISTS:

Amy Goodman on Iraq Prison Torture
"Torture in Iraq Continues, Unabated" -- Combat operations in Iraq are over, if you believe President Barack Obama's rhetoric. But torture in Iraq's prisons, first exposed during the Abu Ghraib scandal, is thriving, increasingly distant from any scrutiny or accountability.

Ruth Marcus on Obama's Numbers
"Tough Love for Obama" -- The Wal-Mart Moms were pessimistic, bordering on despondent, about the state of the country, but they were also surprisingly understanding about the president's plight.

William Pfaff on Europe, the U.S. and War
"U.S. Could Be Alone as Europe Turns Inward" -- The relationship between Western Europe and the colonies that became the United States was complicated from the beginning. The situation reversed, it is now Europe that tires of America's imperial wars.

Eugene Robinson on Gingrich and the Islamophobes
"Newt Gingrich Is the Joe McCarthy of Muslim Bashing" -- Boy, one thing I really hate is when American judges try to impose harsh Islamic sharia law. You know, with all those grisly lashings, stonings and beheadings. What's that you say? No such thing is happening, and you wonder where I got such a crazy idea? Why, Newt Gingrich told me.

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An antisemite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an antisemite.--Michael Santomauro

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish!!

Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro
