In Folklorist Harry Smith’s House-"99 Year Blues" — Julius Daniels (1927)

*In Folklorist Harry Smith’s House-"99 Year Blues" — Julius Daniels (1927)

The year  has turned into something a year of review of the folk revival of the 1960s. In November I featured a posting of many of the episodes (via “YouTube”) of Pete Seeger’s classic folk television show from the 1960s, “Rainbow Quest”. I propose to do the same here to end out the year with as many of the selections from Harry Smith’s seminal “Anthology Of American Folk Music,” in one place, as I was able to find material for, either lyrics or "YouTube" performances (not necessarily by the original performer). This is down at the roots, for sure.



99 YEAR BLUES


Hot Tuna

Well now give me my pistol man and three round balls
I'm gonna shoot everybody that I don't like at all
Like at all, Like at all
Like at all, Like at all

Gotta .38 special man and .45 frame
You know the thing don't miss 'cause I got dead aim
Got dead aim, got dead aim
Got dead aim, got dead aim

Well the world is a drag and my friends can't vote
Gonna make me a connection and score some dope
Go get high, go get high

Go get high, go get high

From The Pen Of Daniel Berrigan-And Other Gentle Angry People

 

Tuesday, June 21, 2016           "Some walked and walked and walked They walked the earth they walked the waters they walked the air. Why do you stand? They were asked, and why do you walk? Because of the children, they said, and because of the heart, and because of the bread."             –  Daniel Berrigan – A piece of his poem “Some”

A View FromThe Left-NEW WARS / OLD WARS – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

NEW WARS / OLD WARS – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

 

THE END OF AIR POWER? Dominating the Skies -- and Losing the Wars

U.S. pilots currently have not just air superiority or air supremacy, but total mastery of the fabled “high ground” of war.  And yet in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere in the Greater Middle East, while the U.S. rules the skies in an uncontested way, America’s conflicts rage on with no endgame in sight.  In other words, for all its promise of devastating power delivered against enemies with remarkable precision and quick victories at low cost (at least to Americans), air power has failed to deliver, not just in the ongoing war on terror but for decades before it.  If anything, by providing an illusion of results, it has helped keep the United States in unwinnable wars, while inflicting a heavy toll on innocent victims on our distant battlefields.  At the same time, the cult-like infatuation of American leaders, from the president on down, with the supposed ability of the U.S. military to deliver such results remains remarkably unchallenged in Washington… And isn’t there a paradox, if not a problem, in the very idea of winning a war on terror through what is in essence terror bombing?  Though it’s not something that, for obvious reasons, is much discussed in this country, given the historical record it’s hard to deny that bombing is terror… As it turned out, what air power provided was not victory, but carnage, terror, rubble -- and resistance.    More

 

More Intervention = less war?

SETH MOULTON: Get ready for another Iraq War

Without a long-term political strategy, we can expect to send young Americans back to Iraq every time Iraqi politics fall apart, a new terrorist group sweeps in and we find ourselves required to clean up the mess… First, we can provide resources directly to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to support his agenda of reform. Second, we can help the disenfranchised Sunnis have a stronger voice in their government by encouraging them to unite politically, just as we did during the surge. Third, we must counter the malign interests of Iranian agents working to inflame sectarianism among Shiite leaders and in the Iraqi media. And fourth, we can broker a reasonable agreement between the Abadi government and our closest allies, the Kurds. All this will take a stronger diplomatic presence. We built the largest U.S. Embassy in the world in Iraq, knowing that Iraqis would need continued political mentorship, but then we left it half-empty. It’s time we fixed that.   More

 

Worried About “Stigmatizing” Cluster Bombs, House Approves More Sales to Saudi Arabia

The House on Thursday narrowly defeated a measure that would have banned the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia, but the closeness of the vote was an indication of growing congressional opposition to the conduct of the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing coalition in Yemen.

The vote was mostly along party lines, with 200 Republicans – and only 16 Democrats – heeding the Obama administration’s urging to vote against the measure. The vote was 204-216.  “The Department of Defense strongly opposes this amendment,” said Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., chairman of the House Committee on Defense Appropriations, during floor debate. “They advise us that it would stigmatize cluster munitions, which are legitimate weapons with clear military utility.”   More

 

The Fraudulent Case for a Syrian Escalation

The recent call by 51 dissenting State Department officials for U.S. military escalation in Syria is merely one of dozens of similar demands by neoconservatives and anguished liberals who accuse President Obama of moral failure for not dictating peace in Syria at the end of a gun. At almost the same time as the dissent went public, in fact, the hawkish Center for New American Security issued similar recommendations under the auspices of Michele Flournoy, Hillary Clinton’s likely pick for Secretary of Defense. Its report called for more “arming and training” of anti-government rebels, launching of “limited military strikes” against the Assad regime, and eliminating “artificial manpower limitations” on military missions in the country.  Critics warn that such policies would violate international law, in the absence of any United Nations authorization for intervention, and risk a dangerous confrontation with Russia. But the slew of reports, speeches and columns calling for “limited” and “judicious” military escalation have an even bigger flaw: they never make even the slightest case for thinking such interventions could work.   More

 

Answering the Appeal of the 51 Diplomats on Syria

Thus the principal impetus for IS is not President Assad’s stubborn holding on to power. Instead, it is Saudi Arabia’s cold war with Iran, plus its unrelenting and unending export of Wahhabism, which has fueled terrorism throughout the Middle East, Southwest Asia, North Africa, and even sub-Saharan Africa. This is a dangerous game for the Saudis as well as others. Spreading a terror-producing ideology in the region and beyond could lead this Frankenstein’s monster to try destroying its creator at home in the kingdom… After Afghanistan and Iraq, President Obama understands that the American people wisely have no stomach for further wars in the region that are not required to protect basic U.S. interests. That includes no war against Iran (unless thrust upon us) and no “slippery slope” of military engagement in Syria. In fact, President Obama’s biggest foreign policy achievement has been to negotiate a deal that has essentially blocked any Iranian routes to building nuclear weapons and averted the risk of war.   More

 

Prominent GOP Neoconservative to Fundraise for Hillary Clinton

A prominent neoconservative intellectual and early promoter of the Iraq War is headlining an official campaign fundraiser for Hillary Clinton next month, Foreign Policy has learned. The move signals a shift in the Clinton campaign’s willingness to associate with prominent Republicans and is the latest sign of how far some GOP defectors are willing to go to block a Donald Trump presidency.  Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a co-founder of the Project for the New American Century, will speak at a Hillary for America fundraiser in Washington’s Logan Circle neighborhood on July 21. According to an invite obtained by FP, the “event will include an off-the-record conversation on America’s continued investment in NATO, key European allies and partners, and the EU.”   More

 

 

A View From The Left-WARS ABROAD, WARS AT HOME

WARS ABROAD, WARS AT HOME

 

RACIALIZED ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT BACKLASH – THERE AND HERE

The news and the blogosphere are all a twitter over the British vote for “Brexit” and the rising xenophobia in the UK and on the European continent. Of course, there is a lot in common with elements of the Trump phenomenon in the US.  

The commentariat – and some on the Left -- tend to focus on the supposed “innate” racism of the less-educated and angry white voters.  But what is largely ignored is that the movements here and there are led by elements of the Establishment elites – and that the backlash reflects a genuine outrage at the “austerity” of falling wages and living conditions experienced by large numbers of the electorate.  White workers, denied in the mass media any genuine class explanation for their plight – or any (to them) plausible political outlet to oppose elite-led and Big Capital-driven Globalization – became vulnerable to racial appeals, with the self-defeating scapegoating of immigrants and people of color.

 

BREXIT: The Triumph of “Tabloid Politics”

There is a lot of talk right now about an angry, mainly old working class who used Brexit as a way of kicking back at an establishment that had brought them nothing but grief over the last decade. The Leave campaign managed to channel that into anger at the EU, even though it had precious little to do with the EU…  In 2015 the electorate voted Cameron back in because they thought the Conservatives were more competent at running the economy, and that Cameron would be a better leader than Miliband. In the last few hours we can clearly see that both beliefs are incorrect…  The tabloid press has groomed its readers for Brexit… Brexit is perhaps the first major casualty of the political populism that has followed the financial crisis and austerity. That populism triumphed in the UK because the establishment underestimated its power and did nothing to tackle the resentment on which it feeds and the misinformation on which it thrives.   More

 

Why Did White Workers Leave the Democratic Party?

The popular thesis today is that the New Deal could only be popular with white workers because, thanks to the Dixiecrats, it excluded black workers.  If the New Deal was simply for whites, why did blacks switch from the GOP to the Democratic Party in 1934 and 1936, led by the working-class black districts? Were they stupid? Or did they see something in the New Deal that these people don’t? … National Democratic leaders did not nurture a biracial, class politics… Yes, some working-class whites in the South turned to the Republican Party, especially when it was the party of power in their city and county. But many more just stopped voting… It is never a question of trade, but the rules of trade. What is permissible, and what is not, is a matter of government policy. And for all the talk about jobs by both parties, when it comes to trade deals, it is the corporations that have the most influence.  Political elites were willing to sacrifice jobs (although they would not put it that way) to national security during the era of the Cold War. They also enabled economic elites to solve their industrial problems through foreign cheap labor in the 1990s and afterward.  In the 1980s, corporations struggled, but in the 1990s with NAFTA and then the entry of China into the World Trade Organization, corporations through offshoring were rejuvenated.  Together these policies produced deindustrialization, a primary source of worker alienation from politics.   More

 

Economic policy increases inequality and hurts the vast majority of American families

Bivens argues that the rise in inequality in recent decades has been essentially zero-sum, with gains at the top of the distribution coming almost directly from gains at the bottom and middle. The zero-sum character of the rise in inequality means that policies aimed at progressively redistributing income can benefit the vast majority of working people without harming overall economic growth.  The rise of inequality over recent decades has been largely driven by a host of discrete policy changes that have regressively redistributed income to those at the very top. Many of these policy changes were championed by claims that they would boost overall growth rates, but Bivens argues that they have clearly failed on that front. The outcome of these policy changes have been a steadily rising “inequality tax” that has stunted income growth for the bottom 90 percent of households relative to what the economy had to the potential to deliver.    More

 

Abigail Fisher’s Supreme Court loss: A massive blow to racial privilege

Fisher’s case before the Supreme Court, in which she demanded that she be admitted to the University of Texas at Austin despite not having the grades to get in, confirmed every liberal suspicion about the opposition to affirmative action, namely that it’s not about “equality” at all, but about making sure white people are always first in line, ahead of all people of color, for job and education opportunities. That her lawyer, Edward Blum, has made a career out of creative litigation designed to keep people of color from getting jobs, schooling, and even political representation simply confirms it further… In 2008, 47 such students were admitted who had lower grades or test scores than Fisher. Forty-two of them were white. Only five were people of color.   Fisher and her lawyer Blum were not challenging the admission of the 42 white students… Thursday is a victory all the same, because it’s a blow to this ridiculous notion that any time a person of color gets an opportunity, they are stealing it from a more deserving white person.   More

 

HOW ABOUT WE JUST BAN ALL ASSAULT WEAPONS INSTEAD?

It is perhaps understandable that Democratic proponents of gun control measure would protest against the blocking of any legislation – or even the chance to vote -- by the House Republican leadership.  But seeking a calculated advantage by staging a sit-in on behalf of “No Fly – No Buy” is a dangerous tactic.

 

The Cynical Sit-In

Earlier in the week four such measures were rejected, including a bill sponsored by California senator Dianne Feinstein which called for expanding the “Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment,” known more commonly as the “terrorist watchlist.”  The entire watchlist has more than eight hundred thousand names on it, far more than the “no-fly” sub-list with sixty-four thousand names. Feinstein’s legislation called for a weapons ban to be applied to the entire list.  So while Democrats were also pursuing legislation calling for stricter background checks and a ban on assault weapons, the focus of their protests have coalesced around a demand to bar people who have been placed on the “terror watchlist.”  … We should call it what it actually is: a mostly Arab and Muslim watchlist. If we accept that such a database — for which there is no formal or legal process to be placed on or removed from — is justified then we are sanctioning the institutional harassment of brown people who the US government arbitrarily charges with “suspicion” of terrorism.  Most people want something done about the threat and actual experience of pervasive gun violence in the United States. But framing the issue as one of “national security” and as part of the “war on terror” does not address the underlying causes of violence in America.   More

 

Democrats ‘no-fly, no-buy’ sit-in bolsters racist, ineffective and arbitrary surveillance of Muslims

There’s a big problem with the sit-in, though: one of the measures the Democrats want to pass would bar people on the no-fly or selectee lists–people suspected of having ties to terrorism–from buying guns. At first glance, this seems logical. Who wants a terrorist to be able to buy a gun? But the reality is that these watchlists are deeply flawed, arbitrary and disproportionately impacts Muslims. People don’t know if they’re on it, there’s virtually no way to get off it, and it leads to consequences like not being able to fly or getting pulled aside for extra questioning at airports. It is also notoriously inaccurate. A 2009 Justice Department study found that a third of watchlisted names were on there because of outdated information.  The bill in question would effectively codify reliance on a list that many Democrats–including John Lewis himself–have criticized as violating civil liberties. In fact, Lewis himself was once on the no-fly list. The legislation would also do very little to curb gun violence in the U.S…  Democrats are pushing to bar people on the no-fly list from buying guns because of the Orlando attacks. But this bill would not have stopped Omar Mateen, the gunman, from buying the assault rifle he used to shoot up the Pulse nightclub. It is unclear if Mateen was on the no-fly list. And Mateen was taken off the larger federal watchlist in 2014.    More

 

$206 Million to Hate Groups to Promote anti-Muslim Sentiment

As The Guardian notes, the end result of the activities of groups like Abstraction Fund, Clarion Project, David Horowitz Freedom Center, Middle East Forum, American Freedom Law Center, Center for Security Policy, Investigative Project on Terrorism, Jihad Watch and Act! for America, is an increase in attacks on mosques and attacks on Muslim individuals.   Some of them, such as the Middle East Forum, are part of the Israel lobbies, and apparently they believe the best way to go on keeping Palestinians stateless and without rights is to convince Americans that all Muslims are wicked and deserving of any abuse visited on them by the Likud Party.  More

 

This statistic about gun violence in America seems hard to believe, but is true

Each year for the last decade in America, more than 30,000 people have died due to firearms. That figure, which includes suicides and accidents as well as homicides, is comparable to the casualties seen in some of America's modern wars. It's nearly equal to the number of Americans who died in the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953.  In fact, if you add up the number of firearm-related deaths in America since 1968, that figure is larger than all of the battlefield casualties in all of the wars in American history.   More

 

BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW

Orlando. Sandy Hook. Aurora. San Bernardino.
What do these horrific shootings have in common? Assault weapons.
Assault weapons were used to murder at least 49 people in Orlando, 26 people in Sandy Hook, 12 people in Aurora, and 14 people in San Bernardino.
Right now, these mass-killing weapons are available for purchase on-line, at trade shows, and at gun brokers across our nation. They have become the weapon of choice for mass shooters.
Assault weapons have no place in our cities and towns. No place on our streets.
We need to ban all assault weapons now, while moving quickly to enact common sense gun reform.

Veterans Talk Pathologies of Hate and Violence After Orlando Nightclub Tragedy
Author, Brian Trautman, is an Army veteran and VFP Board member.  He teaches peace studies and economics at Berkshire Community College in western Massachusetts and resides near Albany, N.Y.

Veterans  have a unique perspective on the various ways in which enmity and  violence develops and destroy lives, as many of them were thrust into  situations where it was inescapable and on full display. Veterans can  speak with authority on how and why demonization and persecution of the  “Other” can and does produce violence. Frequently, they are eager to  share their insights with anyone willing to listen and learn. The  aftermath of the Pulse massacre has proven to be one such time when  veterans are speaking out.

As an organization dedicated to abolishing war as well as ending violence in all its forms in order to help build a more just and peaceful future, VFP believed it had a responsibility to release a statement on the mass shooting in Orlando. 


            IVAW also released a statement about the attack on Pulse that touched on many of the same points that were conveyed in the VFP statement.

Virginia Druhe, VFP National Office Manager is Retiring
Dear Friends at VFP,

June 30 will be my last day at VFP.  I have enjoyed my 8 years at VFP and am glad to have met so many of you.


            I consider myself very fortunate to be able to retire from  paid work. As we all know, there is plenty of unpaid work to be done in  the world!  There are several projects I am eager to work with in my  neighborhood, an urban farm in my backyard, some family members who will  need extra support in the coming months.


            But I am not going far and will be keeping in touch.  Thank  you for your kindnesses over the years and for you work for peace.  I  hope our paths cross again soon!


            Sincerely,  Virginia

Professor Seeking Vietnam Vets Who Encountered Zinn's Work 
Professor   Carl Mirra, former Marine and 1991 Gulf War resister, is currently   writing about Howard Zinn, highlighting his life and work as best   understood within this GI/veteran protest tradition.  He   seeks Vietnam vets who encountered Zinn's work while in uniform and   found him a source of inspiration or felt a special affinity for him   given his WWII experience.  He would like to interview anyone who is willing to do so either by phone, email or in person.

His approach captures Joseph Miller's article on Zinn.
