Let us learn from Cesar Chavez. Information in these diaries will go to which commercial enterprises make the largest contributions to pro-corporatist operations in America. Contributions to candidates are one example. Tax-exempt "gifts" to rightie "charity" fronts are another. When this gets rolling a weekly update Mothership diary will summarize what is happening.

That resulted in the institutions of the Cold War - a unified Defense Department, the CIA, National Security Council, and the permanent contracting system that became the military-industrial-complex being the major ones. At the end of the Cold War, these institutions persisted and drove a search for a new enemy to justify themselves. After September 11, 2001, new institutions began to be willy-nilly acc...

A group which looks at what is happening at the various War Crimes Tribunals, and, at what is happening in the field of International Humanitarian Law. I am hoping that we can turn this into a forum for serious discussion of the issues surrounding International Humanitarian Law, and not simply a discussion group for how bad dubya, Cheney and that crew were. That is not to say that I want to ban that topic. I simply am hoping that it doesn't become the lens through which this group is viewed. In...
