Hi Miriam and Dick and all,



I know that JFK was not the leader he could have been in
regards to civil rights, but in the context of the times, I believe he did
what was right to do. More importantly I think, his call to a higher purpose
of life and the Camelot-like image that surrounded his Presidency gave us
all a sense of how we could eventually get to where we needed to be. I
suppose that I view him from the perspective of an admirer and hence I
cannot be totally objective I suppose. Still, I think for all the negatives
that can be raised around his Presidency, it is the ideals to which he spoke
that have given us a belief in what can be done.





It is the conflict between what the purist want which is always right and
what the practicality of the times can give that is an eternal dichotomy
from which we all suffer.



Charlie Crawford.

The 'competition' to 'succeed' between Jack and Bobby was enormous while Ted

But he didn't willingly come to a position of enforcing civil rights. His

Department of Justice held back from a wholehearted effort to protect the

insistence, the March on Washington which was originally supposed to be a
demand on the part of black people for their rights to dignity, equality
before the law, and equal opportunity for work, was turned into a
multi-racial family gathering, stripped of all of the militancy and demands.
Those were the conditions under which it could occur. That is why Malcolm X
didn't attend. And although everyone looks back on it with nostalgia and
they point to the fact that we now have some very privileged African
Americans and an African American as President, a symbol, a figurehead,
nothing has changed in the day to day lives of poor and working black
people. They are still being killed on a daily basis by white people who
wear police uniforms, most of the time. And now, after the murders in the
church in South Carolina, there have been several burnings of black
churches. So yes, Kennedy did some token things and it felt like progress.
And when Obama became President, that felt like progress. But the
institutional racism remains and the hate groups have increased in number.
It's not that I don't want to give credit where credit is due or that I
don't want you to feel good about positive things that happen. It's that I
want to prevent people from being swept up in the fantasies that are
promoted by the media and by politicians, that race is no longer such a big
deal, that the civil rights movement happened, succeeded, and now we're in a
post racial society and we can move on. All of the racism is sitting there,
just beneath the surface.

Hi Miriam and all,

I will concur that President John F. Kennedy was fashioned in the
mold of the cold warrior and he never made any secret of our need to be
strong enough to be a deterrent to aggressors. That policy of Mutually
Assured Destruction did not reduce the potential for total destruction, but
it did keep the albeit uneasy peace. More importantly in my view is the
fact that JFK's Peace Corps and his perhaps too tentative, but nevertheless
commitment to assuring the civil rights of Blacks in particular were
positive steps towards a better world and more importantly pointed in the
direction of where the world needed to get to. Perfect? No. Worthwhile?
Definitely.

Charlie Crawford.

Charlie,

I was rather young and naive when Kennedy was elected President. I certainly
didn't know as much about what was actually happening politically as I
should have. I had just finished social work school, and was working and
involved in social activities. And I wasn't able to read stuff the way we
are now. With diminishing partial vision, I certainly didn't have access to
all the articles, to newspapers, etc. But Kennedy was the first youthful
President we'd had in my lifetime. He was handsome and charming, and he
could give a rousing speech. However, as naive as I was, I knew that he was
a warrior in the cold war, not a man of peace. While he talked about the
Peace Corps and about the rights of agricultural workers, he was very much a
tool of the military industrial complex. He was trying to get rid of Castro
which was pure insanity because Castro's government was a blessing after the
one which preceded it in Cuba. He got us involved more fully in Vietnam. He
was following up on the policies of the previous administration, the
Eisenhower administration which was Republican. This is like Obama who,
whatever he said in 2008, followed up on the policies of the previous
administration, the Bush administration, which was Republican. My rule of
thumb is that the Republican administrations make things demonstrably worse
and then the Democratic administrations continue what the Republicans were
doing.

Hi Miriam, Carl, and all,

This is an interesting topic. I was listening to the inaugural
speech of President Kennedy earlier today and he spoke precisely of the need
for us to use the technology we have for good and not for destruction.
Maybe he was as much a servant of the Military Industrial Complex as you are
assigning to Obama, but somehow I don't think so. The ideals he and Obama
as well have articulated are real and meaningful, and yes, it is
heartbreaking that they somehow get lost in the mix. Why?

Charlie.

We're in a bind. We have all this technology which, theoretically is neutral
and can be used for the good of humankind. But it seems like in a majority
of cases, it is used with malevolent purposes in mind. Put the technology in
the hands of people and just watch what people choose to do with it. But
aside from corporate greed, it does seem as if there is something in the
nature of the technology, coupled with the fact that we are living in a
mass, bureaucratic society, that militates against direct human contact.

The other day I was talking to one of my grandson's and, well, I was talking
toward my grandson while he was facing me, texting to one friend or another.
"Isolated?" he said, "I'm not isolated. I got Face Book and I'm Liked by
dozens of friends."
"But don't you miss going to the game, or hitting the surf, or joining the
boys for a hand ball game after work?"
"Well, I actually work out of my apartment these days, and my legs don't
hold me up on the surf board anymore. Gosh Gramps, I am turning
35 this July, you know."
My grandson does not feel isolated. He has a world of close friends.
As close as his iPad.
Now I'm not going to suggest that the development of all these electronic
gadgets was some well planned Corporate Capitalistic plot, but if their goal
was to isolate our youth, and then give them the sense of being connected
electronically, and then taking control of that media and controlling them
with Corporate Empire propaganda, they couldn't have done a better job.
Chris Hedges hits another home run with this article. Isolate and dominate.
But always leave them believing that they are connected.
And they are. They are connected to the big Teat of the Empire.

Posted on Jun 28, 2015

Sandy Johal uses a selfie stick to take a picture of herself in New
York’s Times Square in January. (Seth Wenig / AP) Michael P. Printup,
president of Watkins Glen International, one of the country’s largest
racetracks, stood with a group of about a dozen race fans at 8:30 a.m.
Saturday. Next to him were boxes of free doughnuts and coffee.
A line of men with towels, who had spent the night in nearby RV
campers, pop-up campers and tents, stood patiently outside the door to
a shower room.
A light drizzle, one that would turn into a torrential downpour and
lead to the races being canceled in the afternoon, coated the group,
all middle-aged or older white men. They were discussing, amid the
high-pitched whine of cars practicing on the 3.4-mile, 11-turn circuit
racetrack, the aging demographic of race fans and the inability to
lure a new generation to the sport.
“Maybe if you installed chargers for phones around the track they
would come,” suggested one gray-haired man.
But it is not just sporting events. Public lectures, church services,
labor unions, Veterans of Foreign Wars halls, Masonic halls, Rotary
clubs, the Knights of Columbus, the Lions Club, Grange Hall meetings,
the League of Women Voters, Daughters of the American Revolution,
local historical societies, town halls, bowling leagues, bridge clubs,
movie theater attendance (at a 20-year low), advocacy groups such as
the NAACP and professional and amateur theatrical and musical
performances cater to a dwindling and graying population. No one is
coming through the door to take the place of the old members. A
generation has fallen down the rabbit hole of electronic
hallucinations—with images often dominated by violence and
pornography. They have become, in the words of the philosopher Hannah
Arendt, “atomized,” sucked alone into systems of information and
entertainment that cater to America’s prurient fascination with the

tawdry, the cruel and the deadening cult of the self.

The entrapment in a world of nonstop electronic sounds and images,
begun with the phonograph and radio, advanced by cinema and television
and perfected by video games, the Internet and hand-held devices, is
making it impossible to build relationships and structures that are
vital for civic engagement and resistance to corporate power. We have
been transformed into commodities. The steady decline of the white
male heaven that is NASCAR—which has stopped publishing the falling
attendance at its tracks and at some speedways has begun to tear down
bleachers—is ominous. It is the symbol of a captive society.
“We don’t see the youth coming in,” Printup said. “The millennial, the
younger adults 18 to 35, is our target. We spend millions of dollars a
year to target that group. But it’s hard. Look around. Who’s the
youngest person here? That’s our problem. Every sport from the NFL to
NHL is struggling with the 18 to 35 demographic. They call them weird.
They call them difficult.
They only want to look at their computers.”
Printup’s parent company, the International Speedway Corp. (ISC), has
invested significant sums to reach this demographic with little to
show for it.
“We have a digital firm that represents nearly all our tracks in the ISC,”
he went on, noting that Watkins Glen, which drew about 16,000 fans
this past weekend, is one of the few exceptions to the decline in
numbers. “The digital platform is about the only way you can get to
them. We target them.
We buy lists. We hire an agency that tracks their Web and Internet
interactions. If they bring up racing, we want to be there. When a kid
Googles ‘Ferrari—racing—sports car’ we are one of the top 10 lists. We
pay for that. It is not cheap. That’s how you have got to get these
kids. But it’s not working the way it should.”
Robert D. Putnam pointed out the decline of independent civic
engagement, or what he called our “social capital,” in his book
“Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community.” He
noted that our severance from local communal and civic groups brought
with it not only loneliness and alienation, but also a dangerous and
passive reliance on the state.
Totalitarian societies, including our own, inundate the public with a
steady stream of propaganda accompanied by mindless entertainment.
They seek to destroy independent organizations. In Nazi Germany the
state provided millions of cheap, state-subsidized radios and then
dominated the airwaves with its propaganda. Radio receivers were
mounted in public locations in Stalin’s Soviet Union; and citizens,
especially illiterate peasants, were required to gather to listen to
the state-controlled news and the dictator’s speeches. These
totalitarian states also banned civic organizations that were not
under the iron control of the party.
The corporate state is no different, although unlike past totalitarian
systems it permits dissent in the form of print and does not ban
fading civic and community groups. It has won the battle against
literacy. The seductiveness of the image lures most Americans away
from the print-based world of ideas. The fascination with the image
swallows the time and energy required to attend and maintain communal
organizations. If no one reads, why censor books? Let Noam Chomsky
publish as much as he wants. Just keep his voice off the airwaves. If
no one attends community meetings, group events or organizations, why
prohibit them? Let them be held in near-empty rooms and left uncovered
by the press until they are shuttered.
The object of a totalitarian state is to keep its citizens locked
within the parameters of official propaganda and permanently isolated.
Propaganda and isolation make it difficult for an individual to
express or carry out dissent. Official opinions, little more than
digestible slogans and clichés, are crafted and disseminated by public
relations specialists on behalf of the power elite. They are repeated
endlessly over the airwaves until the public unconsciously ingests
them. And the isolated public in a totalitarian society is unable to
connect its personal experience of despair, anxiety, fear, frustration
and economic insecurity to the structures that create these
conditions. The isolated citizen is left feeling that his or her
personal misfortune is an exception. The portrayal of society by
systems of state propaganda—content, respectful of authority, just,
economically secure and free—is mistaken for reality.
Totalitarian propaganda, accompanied by isolation, or what Arendt
called “atomization,” makes it possible for a population not to
“believe in anything visible, in the reality of their own experience;
they do not trust their eyes and ears but only their imaginations,
which may be caught by anything that is at once universal and
consistent in itself.” This propaganda, Arendt went on, “gave the
masses of atomized, undefinable, unstable and futile individuals a
means of self-definition and identification.”
Corporate propaganda saturates the public, especially a generation
wedded to new technology, with these lies. Its power, however, comes
from the meticulous study of the moods, prejudices, whims and desires
of the public, to manipulate the masses in their own language and
emotions. Konrad Heiden made this point when he examined fascist
propaganda in Nazi Germany, noting that propaganda must detect the
murmur of the public “and translate it into intelligible utterance and
convincing action.”
“The true aim of political propaganda is not to influence, but to
study, the masses,” Heiden wrote. “The speaker is in constant
communication with the masses; he hears an echo, and senses the inner
vibration.” Heiden, forced to flee Nazi Germany, went on: “When a
resonance issues from the depths of the substance, the masses have
given him the pitch; he knows in what terms he must finally address
them. Rather than a means of directing the mass mind, propaganda is a
technique for riding with the masses. It is not a machine to make wind
but a sail to catch the wind.”
Dissent will only be possible when we break the dark spell of
corporate propaganda and the isolation that accompanies it. We must
free ourselves from corporate tyranny, which means refusing to invest
our emotional and intellectual energy in electronic images. We must
build what the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin called “voluntary
associations for study and teaching, for industry, commerce, science,
art, literature, exploitation, resistance to exploitation, amusement,
serious work, gratification and self-denial.”
“We know well the means by which this association of the lord, priest,
merchant, judge, soldier, and king founded its domination,” Kropotkin
wrote.
“It was by the annihilation of all free unions: of village
communities, guilds, trades unions, fraternities, and medieval cities.
It was by confiscating the land of the communes and the riches of the
guilds; it was by the absolute and ferocious prohibition of all kinds
of free agreement between men; it was by massacre, the wheel, the
gibbet, the sword, and the fire that Church and State established
their domination, and that they succeeded henceforth to reign over an
incoherent agglomeration of subjects, who had no direct union more
among

themselves.”

Corporate propaganda has become so potent that many Americans are

addicted.

We must leave our isolated rooms. We must shut out these images. We
must connect with those around us. It is only the communal that will
save us. It is only the communal that will allow us to build a
movement to resist. And it is only the communal that will sustain us
through mutual aid as climate change and economic collapse
increasingly

dominate our future.
