Did you know...... that the notorious No Child Left Behind Act includes a sneaky section that requires high schools to turn over private information on students to military recruiters?
But according to the privacy group, BeNow, the direct marketing company chosen by the Pentagon to compile the data, is owned by the credit reporting company Equifax and does not have a privacy policy, “nor has it troubled itself to enlist in a privacy seal program regarding the handling of information collected for this purpose.”

http://www.leavemychildalone.org/

Cindy Sheehan (mother of a soldier slain in Iraq), Jim Massey (ex-Marine recruiter) and others reveal the true impact of No Child Left Behind's military recruitment in our high schools. With no end in sight to the increasingly lethal American occupation in Iraq, this is the single-most important film for concerned parents and citizens to see.

Watch Here the 11-minute film and then take action to "opt our kids out" at LeaveMyChildAlone.org. Created by Mainstreet Moms and Working Assets

To opt out a student, you must submit Opt Out letters by postal mail to both the Pentagon and your School District Superintendent. It's easy! By Using This Tool Here, you can create separate pre-printed letters that include BOTH the Pentagon's address and your high school Superintendent's address. All you need is a printer, two envelopes and two stamps.

Parents cannot remove their children?s names from a Pentagon database that includes highly personal information used to attract military recruits, the Vermont Guardian has learned.
The Pentagon has spent more than $70.5 million on market research, national advertising, website development, and management of the Joint Advertising Market Research and Studies (JAMRS) database a storehouse of questionable legality that includes the names and personal details of more than 30 million U.S. children and young people between the ages of 16 and 23.
The database is separate from information collected from schools that receive federal education money. The No Child Left Behind Act requires schools to report the names, addresses, and phone numbers of secondary school students to recruiters, but the law also specifies that parents or guardians may write a letter to the school asking that their children?s names not be released.

However, many parents have reported being surprised that their children are contacted anyway, according to a San Francisco-based coalition called Leave My Child Alone (LMCA).
"We hear from a lot of parents who have often felt quite isolated about it all and haven't been aware that this is happening all over the country," said the group?s spokeswoman, Felicity Crush.

Parents must contact the Pentagon directly to ask that their children's information not be released to recruiters, but the data is not removed from the JAMRS database, according to Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke, a Pentagon spokeswoman.

Instead, the information is moved to a suppression file, where it is continuously updated with new data from private and government sources and still made available to recruiters, Krenke said. It's necessary to keep the information in the suppression file so the Pentagon can make sure it's not being released, she said.

Krenke said the database is compiled using information from state motor vehicles departments, the Selective Service, and data-mining firms that collect and organize information from private companies. In addition to names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and phone numbers, the database may include cell phone numbers, e-mail addresses, grade-point averages, ethnicity, and subjects of interest.

She said the Pentagon spends about $500,000 annually to purchase the data from private companies, and has paid more than $70 million since 2002 to Mullen Advertising " a Massachusetts firm whose clients include General Motors, Hooked on Phonics, XM Satellite Radio, and 3Com " to target recruiters? messages toward teens and young adults.
The Boston Business Journal reported in October that the Pentagon had spent a total of $206 million on the JAMRS program to date, and could spend another $137 million over the next two years.
"Data mining and proliferation of using databases are all concerns because it represents an administration that does not believe in checks and balances," said Leahy. "Can you imagine our country if a Joseph McCarthy or J. Edgar Hoover has the electronic power these guys have today?"

Discomfort over the database extends to other members of Congress. Seven senators, including New York's Hillary Rodham Clinton and Wisconsin?s Russ Feingold, both Democrats, sent a letter to Rumsfeld on June 24 asking him to "immediately cease creation of this database."

Joe Anybody has been yelling about this for 5 years
Every morning of my life I get up.... look out the window and say......
"Wow! Another day of the USA Torturing People all over the globe! I need to get up! And wake up! And do something? to try and stop this"
Usually I then motivate my self to start my day by Reapeatedly thinking until it sinks in..."I gotta get up and get moving...gotta get going.... there are people being Tortured and I can't be sleeping while these atrocities are going on!!! I need to be awake!!!!! I need to be reading about what they (USA)(The Real Terrorist) did in the past 8 hours while I was asleep?? ....There is a war going on and if you blink or go to sleep or not stay on top of the daily news all throughout the day.... the rules change and these bastards will sneak into the protected walls of National Security, Homeland Defense and FIOA denials!!!! While I sleep men are dieing I need to wake up!!! Ya thats my every day morning ritual of just one Joe Anybody in Anytown USA!

People lives are being tossed into endless void with no kind of morals, laws, or safeguards, or Check and Balances, of Humanity or even the slightest decent virtues of Respect for Human Life is practiced or being valued. It is in that void where, a sick torturing neglect with sadistic smiles of US approval on their faces as The Pentagone and CIA keep their "human toys" on just this side of Death.

I hope the US Flag hangs on the wall behind these Interrogations to remind those being beaten and those having fun dishing-it-out to remember the USA Are The Proud SPONSORS Of These Acts Of Terror & Abuse

No I got to get up and see what they are doing NOW?!!
Five years readers, every day, I wake up and start to worry about this sickening attitude of our Administration and I can't be asleep knowing that this is happening every second of the day 24 hours. The USA approved torturers work around the clock 365 days a year 24/7.
wow Now! That Wakes Me Up!

Today I woke up .....took two steps and clicked on my email.....with only 30 seconds of being awake ...
I read that Chomsky is saying 'There Is No War On Terror' YEP!...thats exactly what Joe Anybody has Been saying everyday for the last 5 years. Excitedly I open the email and go to the link HERE

I want to point out just a couple quotes from that web site or points worth noting that Noam said concerning this illegal war in Iraq and the use of Terror as a way to manipulate Bushes agenda.

************************************************
But before I do, I need you to read this question and then Noam's answer and then think of yourself:

Q)) What's your biggest regret over 40 years of political activism? What would you have done differently?

A))I would have done more. Because the problems are so serious and overwhelming that it's disgraceful not to do more about it.
*************************************************


*The fact of the matter is that there is no War on Terror. It's a minor consideration. So invading Iraq and taking control of the world's energy resources was way more important than the threat of terror. And the same with other things. Take, say, nuclear terror. The American intelligence systems estimate that the likelihood of a "dirty bomb," a dirty nuclear bomb attack in the United States in the next ten years, is about 50 percent. Well, that's pretty high. Are they doing anything about it? Yeah. They're increasing the threat, by increasing nuclear proliferation, by compelling potential adversaries to take very dangerous measures to try to counter rising American
threats.

*They did find weapons of mass destruction, namely, the ones that had been sent to Saddam by the United States, Britain, and others through the 1980s. A lot of them were still there. They were under control of U.N. inspectors and were being dismantled. But many were still there. When the U.S. invaded, the inspectors were kicked out, and Rumsfeld and Cheney didn't tell their troops to guard the sites. So the sites were left unguarded, and they were systematically looted. The U.N. inspectors did continue their work by satellite and they identified over 100 sites that were systematically looted, like, not somebody going in and stealing something, but carefully, systematically looted.

*The U.S. invaded Iraq because it has enormous oil resources, mostly untapped, and it's right in the heart of the world's energy system. Which means that if the U.S. manages to control Iraq, it extends enormously its strategic power, what Zbigniew Brzezinski calls its critical leverage over Europe and Asia. Yeah, that's a major reason for controlling the oil resources -- it gives you strategic power. Even if you're on renewable energy you want to do that. So that's the reason for invading Iraq, the fundamental reason.

*Well, there's a basis for democratic change. Take what happened in Bolivia a couple of days ago. How did a leftist indigenous leader get elected? Was it showing up at the polls once every four years and saying, "Vote for me!"? No. It's because there are mass popular organizations which are working all the time on everything from blocking privatization of water to resources to local issues and so on, and they're actually participatory organizations. Well, that's democracy. We're a long way from it. And that's one task of organizing.

I thought the comments by Noam were very very interesting .....Im just starting to wake up now! Better get a cup of coffee and see what new laws have changed on the torture subject overnight! I thinks its going to be a long day today.. I bet it feels even longer strapped from the ceiling by chains while Investigators from the US Interrogate you ....ya I bet their day is going to be real long today!

So as we read in the paper and hear on the news our ... "War President" feels that he has the right to be projecting his Bush ........... -->
"Imperialism" across the Globe.
This guy is Insane Imperialist Neocon Warmonger!
Read Below From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the Internet that defines this awful word, that describes the United States today.
(quote)
'Imperialism' is a policy of extending control or authority over foreign entities as a means of acquisition and/or maintenance of empires, either through direct territorial conquest or through indirect methods of exerting control on the politics and/or economy of other countries. The term is often used to describe the policy of a country in maintaining colonies and dominance over distant lands, regardless of whether the country calls itself an empire.
Insofar as 'imperialism' might be used to refer to an intellectual position, it would imply the belief that the acquisition and maintenance of empires is a positive good, probably combined with an assumption of cultural or other such superiority inherent to imperial power. See The White Man's Burden.
Imperialism draws heavy criticism on the grounds that historically it has been frequently employed for economic exploitation in which the imperialist power makes use of other countries as sources of raw materials and cheap labor, shaping their economies to suit its own interests, and keeping their people in poverty. When imperialism is accompanied by overt military conquest,
It is also seen as a violation of freedom and human rights.
(ding!!! ding! Joe perks up!!?)
In recent years, there has also been a trend to criticize imperialism not at an economic or political level, but at a simply cultural level, particularly the widespread global influence of American culture -

Don't know about you but I don't want to be part of a Imperialist War Nation.

Neoliberalism "Dont let the Word Fool You" .....It's not a good one!
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: "Damn Liberal's!"
Topic: HUMANITY
Just what does the term "neoliberalism" really mean?
I am glad you asked!
Glance at this chart below I that I borrowed from the neat website ---> Political Compass


And check this link
Neoliberalism
It probably has more info than you care to read right now. Although, it does have a good explanation of describing the differences and internal weavings between the many fractions of the political spectrum, like economic liberalism to political or authoritarian to fascism, and the right to the left, just to name a few which I'm sure all my fellow Z3 readers want to know more about!

For example this quote from the global issues website:

Liberalism can refer to political, economic, or even religious ideas. In the U.S. political liberalism has been a strategy to prevent social conflict. It is presented to poor and working people as progressive compared to conservative or Rightwing.

Economic liberalism is different. Conservative politicians who say they hate liberals meaning the political type have no real problem with economic liberalism, including neoliberalism.

Readers, this next quote from the link above is a good bite of defining those pesky "Neocons" position in this neoliberal topic

U.S. neo-conservatives, with their commitment to high military spending and the global assertion of national values, tend to be more authoritarian than hard right. By contrast, neo-liberals, opposed to such moral leadership and, more especially, the ensuing demands on the tax payer, belong to a further right but less authoritarian region. Paradoxically, the "free market", in neo-con parlance, also allows for the large-scale subsidy of the military-industrial complex, a considerable degree of corporate welfare, and protectionism when deemed in the national interest. These are viewed by neo-libs as impediments to the unfettered market forces that they champion.

Well from what I was reading in that website it mentions that "The goal of neoliberlism is to be able to to allow the free market to naturally balance itself via the pressures of market demands; a key to successful market-based economies."

And I read that and think Hmmm??? well.....OK!?
"I guess it sounds ok?"
But then I read the explanation that the Average Joe wouldn't understand by just reading the language of the meaning and the spin that goes with it and the language dissemination it takes to understand what they mean or meant and to finally realize that the following is more of a better description of what neoliberalism will actually get you that the spin and the misnomer of words like Free;

*The rule of the market.
*Freedom for capital, goods and services, where the market is self-regulating allowing the "trickle down" notion of wealth distribution.
*It also includes the deunionizing of labor forces and removals of any impediments to capital mobility, such as regulations.
*The freedom is from the state, or government.
Reducing public expenditure for social services, such as health and education, by the government
*Deregulation, to allow market forces to act as a self-regulating mechanism
*Privatization of public enterprise (things from water to even the Internet)
*Changing perceptions of public and community good to individualism and individual responsibility

The underlying assumption then is that the free markets are a good thing. They may well be, but unfortunately, reality seems different from theory.

It starts to become clearer the more of the article I read.("Changing to Individual Responsibility" = fuck the poor) And Z3 Readers may I remind you this is why thousands of protesters stand up to the WTO every damn year and to NAFTA and why thousands of protesters in Latin America stood up to say NO to the CAFTA this last year and to say NO to FREE Trade.

By the way it was pushed as "good for the people and the countries" The neoliberal viewpoint is not wanted by those "informed" average joes workers,citizen, of the poor or middle class.... no not by them especially!

But it is wanted by those that will profit in their wallets and their corporations, they are the ones selling the idea of Free Markets and Free Trade ...(How Nice!) (And Phony)......(How Liberal!)


As aptly said here in a quote by J.W. Smith in, The World's Wasted Wealth One cannot separate economics, political science, and history. Politics is the control of the economy. History, when accurately and fully recorded, is that story. In most textbooks and classrooms, not only are these three fields of study separated, but they are further compartmentalized into separate subfields, obscuring the close interconnections between them.

The article refers to a book written in 1776 by ...
a British economist, named Adam Smith who published his book, The Wealth of Nations. Adam Smith, who some regard as the father of modern free market capitalism and this very influential book, suggested that for maximum efficiency, all forms of government interventions in economic issues should be removed and that there should be no restrictions or tariffs on manufacturing and commerce within a nation for it to develop.
(WOW) ? so thats were the free markets got started, by being forced upon the people. Ol' Adam Smith started this ideology crap of economics I will be remembering him that's for sure!

In England what became known as The Great Transformation was produced by the creation of the free markets in the 19th century which were England's experiment in social engineering. The goal of the experiment that was attempted in mid-Victorian England was to demolish these social markets, and replace them by deregulated markets that operated independently of social needs.
Oh nice ..did you catch the part about operating independently of social needs?.....nice huh?
They basically created a selfish greedy economic system that has no regard for the society that makes it operate. The wealth goes to the owners and there is no correlations to the worker outside of his wage.(if you can sometimes even call it that!)

As very well covered in this Wikipedia link -->
HERE
I read a whole lot more of the creepy neoliberalism like this part about the World Bank and WTO...Neoliberalism generally favors multilateral political pressure, through managed-trade cartels such as the WTO and World Bank. It promotes reducing the role of national governments to a minimum. Neoliberalism favors the trickle-down theory over social programs, and measures success in overall economic gain. To improve corporate efficiency, it strives to reject or mitigate labor policies such as minimum wage, and collective bargaining rights.

This Joe Anybody is going to at least be able to put this group of neocons into the right context as I read words about Fair Trade and neoliberalism I will at least understand that it is BAD stuff ...not the spin that it sounds like it might be! Ha! don't ya love the confusion!

Besides the audio clip it has the full text (War & Peace Report) There is a reference to the Torture Bill that was just signed into Law, that states for one Bush,

"Quietly issued what is known as a "signing statement" in which he lays out his interpretation of the new law. In this document Bush declared that he will view the interrogation limits in the context of his broader powers to protect national security."

Legal experts say this means Bush believes he can waive
the anti-torture restrictions.
This is not sitting well with some Republican Senators, including John Warner, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

And it sure doesn't sit good with this Joe either!
