Councilmember Lingenfelter explains city manager decision
KINGMAN – After an executive session Sept. 19, Kingman City Council voted not to renew city manager John Dougherty's contract. This decision, which came after a shocking performance evaluation earlier in September, was not surprising to Dougherty.
"Up until the executive session on Sept. 19, I had been assured by the mayor and one councilman that I would be getting a new contract and it was nothing to be concerned about," Dougherty said.
While little information was provided last week on the evaluation, Councilman Travis Lingenfelter explained his decision making process in a Facebook post Sunday.
"Please understand how difficult of a decision this really was," Lingenfelter wrote.
Lingenfelter wrote that there were several issues he had to consider, and he had to ask himself what progress the City of Kingman had seen on those issues during the time council had worked with Dougherty, and since Dougherty took the position in 2013.
The first issue Lingenfelter mentioned was the citizen-owned, airport and industrial park. There had been nothing mentioned from Dougherty about demanding performance, up to and including recommending renegotiation or condemnation of the lease agreement with Kingman Airport Authority until the 2016 campaign, Lingenfelter wrote. No actions were taken on the issue until 2017.
A top priority from the fiscal 2018 budget work session that had been laid out for Dougherty was developing a written set of policies and procedures for cash handling in the finance department, in response to the $1.1 million embezzlement case.
Lingenfelter said these policies still haven't been received by council.
According to his post, Lingenfelter wrote that new revenue streams, the capital improvement projects list, roadway system, public transit system and quality of life in Kingman has remained at the status quo. Progress on a city infill strategy, working with commercial brokers and owners of vacant commercial or retail buildings has also remained at the status quo, Lingenfelter wrote.
The city manager also did not put forth professional recommendations regarding the establishment of an Economic Development Strategic Plan or for the hiring of a professional economic development director, until directed in 2017.
Dougherty said the city manager can only act when given direction by a majority of council. He said he was given mixed messages about doing the economic development plan and hiring the economic development director.
"The (Economic Development) Plan was not supposed to move forward until the economic development director was in place, then it was to proceed in conjunction with the GenK Town Halls," Dougherty said.
Lingenfelter wrote that Dougherty had not put forward anything comprehensive or substantial to comprehensively revise building code and zoning ordinance to transform Kingman into a "development-friendly" city, and to encourage mixed-use development in key commercial areas and to promote downtown revitalization efforts.
"All I can say in my defense is the city is much better off now than it was four years ago, and I'm very proud of my accomplishments," Dougherty wrote in an email to the Daily Miner.

It was 3 a.m. on a Sunday, and a 13,000-square-foot warehouse swirled with thousands of partygoers, lasers befitting an alien invasion and throbbing beats from Gesaffelstein, a French D.J. In the elevated V.I.P. section, night-life stalwarts like Kanye West's consigliere Virgil Abloh, the R&B singer Ian Isiah and the fashion designer Alexander Wang lounged on couches.
There was a hitch. The party wasn't serving alcohol, so visitors fanned across a desolate Brooklyn waterfront, trudging past shuttered sex shops and auto yards in search of bodega beers. Most returned, and the revelry continued until around 6 a.m., when bleary-eyed guests funneled out to a line of Uber cars.
"I was shocked by how many people were at a dry party and having a really good time," said Shibon Kennedy, a fashion editor and stylist who attended the event, which was organized by Matte Projects, a creative agency. "I love those kind of adventures."
Those nighttime excursions are increasingly taking place along the waterfront of Sunset Park in Brooklyn, an industrial swath of warehouses and piers just south of the Gowanus Canal. Cleaved off Latino and Chinese neighborhoods by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the area is better known now as the home of a Costco than the setting of Hubert Selby Jr.'s harrowing novel "Last Exit to Brooklyn."
But in a city with an ever-shifting night-life landscape, the area's forlorn depots and World War II-era terminal buildings have become the latest landing strip for pleasure seekers who parachute in for music concerts, electronic dance raves, after-parties and art shows.
Main party spots include the Brooklyn Hangar, a sprawling multilevel brick warehouse a block from the waterfront with no neighbors to complain about loud music. In addition to the Matte party, it recently hosted three shows by FKA twigs, the gothy British R&B singer, as well as underground raves by the promoters ReSolute and Unicorn Meat NYC.
The 39th Street Pier, another huge warehouse that is part of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, last month hosted the Time Warp festival, a German underground techno party that drew thousands to hear D. J.s like Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano (a two-day V.I.P. pass cost $360 on Resident Advisor).
Also last month, Club Lust, a high-energy strip club on 47th Street surrounded by beverage distribution centers and welding supply companies, hosted a party for Fool's Gold Records, a label that has released music by Kid Cudi and Danny Brown. Amid a sea of ricocheting colored lights and quivering flesh, 700 visitors paid $20 at the door to hear D. J.s like Sonny Digital, while dancers in thongs ascended poles and Alexander Wang (again) made it rain dollar bills.
Art world instigators descended onto Sunset Park in early November for a party and fund-raiser for Bruce High Quality Foundation, a scrappy nonprofit arts school, which has its studio at Industry City, a warehouse complex that has been transformed into a cultural and manufacturing district. Lyor Cohen, Cleo Wade and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange viewed art installations, while musicians like Le1f and the band Francis and the Lights performed.
So why is proletariat Sunset Park, so long ignored by the city's glamorous throngs, now blipping on the night-life radar? Along with the push of development into the far reaches of Brooklyn, the area's new appeal is tied to its relative solitude, its novelty as a destination for partying and the convenience of ride-sharing apps.
In the past, some visitors to Sunset Park were lured by more carnal desires: After X-rated industries were ousted from Times Square in the early 2000s, a red light district arose in the manufacturing zone along the waterfront. While peep shows and storefronts peddling lingerie and $3 DVDs still hunker in the soot beneath the elevated Gowanus Expressway, strip clubs like Peyton's Playpen have been disappearing.
That veneer of seediness is part of the thrill. According to Nick Catchdubs, who runs Fool's Gold with A-Trak (both are D. J.s), the unique setting of Club Lust and the unfamiliar area dovetailed nicely for the label's eighth anniversary party. "Everyone I talked to really dug how atypical it was," he said. "There's a shortage of interesting venues in Manhattan and 'regular' Brooklyn right now. People are ready for something different."
Club Lust may be foreign hinterlands for some of the Fool's Gold audience, but it has attracted a steady stream of hip-hop clientele since opening two years ago. Rihanna and Travis Scott were spotted there in November, 50 Cent hosted a Thanksgiving event, and French Montana and ASAP Rocky presided over festivities during the 2015 N.B.A. All-Star Weekend. This fall, the same owners opened a club next door called Love, and cajoled the rapper Future out to party.
"All the kind of events we bring into the area, it was never done before," said Star, who provided only that name and co-owns Lust with Kevin Burch. "I'm a Jersey kid, and before any of this, I never wanted nothing to do with Brooklyn. It's dangerous. But we're at a point where we made it cool to come."
Persuading the downtown crowd to undertake the odyssey to this outlying patch of Kings County is often the first challenge. On Google Maps, Sunset Park looks like the other side of the moon. But the rise of Uber, Lyft and other car services has made far-flung locations less intimidating. Chasing livery cabs through deserted streets is no longer a ritualistic hazard of getting home.
"All these car services now, with car-pooling rates, it's nothing," said Heron Preston, a D.J. and designer who was at the Matte party. "2016 is all about traveling a bit of an extra distance to party."
But the most obvious explanation for Sunset Park's emergence is the march of gentrification and development across Manhattan and other areas of Brooklyn. Williamsburg is a third-growth forest of condominiums, while Bushwick is heading in the same direction. On Sunset Park's waterfront, rents are more affordable, spaces are larger, noise enforcement is lax and there are fewer residents to disrupt.
"The rent in New York is becoming stupid," said Sophie Oakley, the director of development at Bruce High Quality. The foundation has been in the neighborhood for four years, and plans to move its art school from the East Village to Sunset Park in January. "We're a nonprofit," she said. "We can spend the money better elsewhere."
The school will also be in Industry City, a cluster of 16 warehouses on cobblestone streets that offers six million square feet of commercial space. Jamestown, a real estate developer that is a part owner in Industry City, has intentionally fostered an artsy, small-batch feeling that has often been associated with since-transformed Brooklyn neighborhoods like Dumbo. There are galleries, tech conferences, rooftop movie screenings and a warren of patisseries and organic ice cream shops.
For the last two summers, the airy courtyard in the center of Industry City has been home to the Mister Sunday parties, mobbed with Europeans, fedora-topped Park Slope dads and conventional creative types drawn to its daytime dance floor. For many partygoers, the events were a calibrated introduction to the neighborhood and the facilities.
"The goal is really to put Industry City on the map again," said Andrew Kimball, its chief executive. "By having these events that are sector-focused, we've brought down several hundred thousand people in just two years."
This fall, Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Flea, the weekend marketplaces that were in Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn, moved into a second-floor space in Industry City. On a recent Sunday, stroller-pushing families and tourists perused secondhand furs, vintage movie posters for "The Catman of Paris," ramen burgers and dulce de leche doughnuts.
Some vendors griped that crowds had dwindled because of Sunset Park's remote location, and were worried that business would deteriorate during winter months. "You have to want to come here," said one vendor, who requested anonymity to avoid offending the market's organizers. "It's not one of those places when you visit New York, you're like, 'You got to check out Sunset Park.'"
Those sentiments were echoed by Gabe Fowler, a shopper at the Brooklyn Flea who had bought a vintage 1950s party poster. "We wouldn't have come if we didn't have a car," he said. "I don't really know where Sunset Park is."
At the end of the Matte party, with sunrise not far off, visitors dawdled outside waiting for Uber rides. Jude Liana, a photographer dressed in head-to-toe black, was headed home to the Lower East Side. "It's kind of refreshing," she said of spending a night in Sunset Park. "I think it's O.K. if it's not infiltrating a neighborhood. Once in a while, it's cool."
On his way out, Mr. Wang was asked if he enjoyed his sojourn into deep Brooklyn. "Great commute," he said.

First the weigh in report is another 2.2 pounds down – I weighed 212.8 as of this morning! 32.2 pounds of fat gone!
Now, the Sea Gull. There are not enough superlatives to describe this weekend! First off, it was the 20th Annual Sea Gull and I had bid on the rider number 20 and I won! Very cool. They also gave me a signed print of the picture for this year's ride – even more very cool. There were over 6000 riders of all ages, shapes, races, and you name it, from all over North America bombarding the small town of Salisbury, Maryland. On Friday night there was a reception with a DJ, barbecued chicken, Nachos, soft pretzels, popcorn, beer, wine and energy drinks – all outside - very, very nice. Ride day was perfect weather-wise. I was up at 4:40 too excited to sleep and raring to go. The ride was beautiful – all day I seemed to peddle effortlessly – one of my best biking memories. When the ride was over there was a party of all parties! Hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled chicken, soda, beer out the wazoo and best of all a live band. Man, what a weekend - 2009 – here I come! I'll do the picture thing ASAP.

So it comes as no surprise that the MAIL ON SUNDAY should carry an article "We've stopped looking for reds under the bed says MI5" (26 February 2006). The Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, until recently responsible for MI6, was classified as a subversive when he was a student leader in the 1960s. Just what his "subversion" amounted to we are not told. Straw was no Marxist, he was certainly not a Socialist and, if his student politics was ever successful, it would have only replaced one form of capitalism with another.
Peter Mandelson, former Northern Ireland Secretary, friend of Tony, and now EU Trade Commissioner, was bugged for three years in the late 1970s because MI5 feared that, as a former member of the Young Communist League, he could have been a Soviet agent.
A waste of time and money for someone who is now "at ease with the rich" and enjoys their company at smart European restaurants where the working class are only to be found in the kitchens or serving at tables.
However, the Communist Party was, as is the Socialist Workers Party today, a springboard for political and media careers. Sir Alfred Sherman went from being a member of the Communist Party to become a confidant to Margaret Thatcher. Alexis Sayle, an "alternative" comedian, sprang from the YCL to become a court jester to the ruling class. At its prime, the Communist Party had more ex-members than members, and many of them went on to become establishment figures in politics, the media and the City. Leader writers in the SUN and the DAILY MAIL once started off writing for the SOCIALIST WORKER. Others use Left Wing parties as a temporary vehicle in order to get noticed by leaders of the Labour Party and then enter mainstream politics from stage left (e.g. Jonathan Porritt).
With the collapse of the Soviet empire, the politics played out by Straw and Mandelson when they were undergraduates is passé. David Miliband and Hilary Benn represent a new breed of career politicians for students entering the Labour Party, as mortar and gown are replaced by suits and "on-message" pagers.
To be a successful New Labour apparatchik requires huge bank accounts, business contacts, contracts with management consultancy companies, non-executive board placements, and a messianic belief in the global market: this is the smooth path to political patronage and advancement
According the MAIL ON SUNDAY, "Current Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain is also believed to have been spied on because of his leading role in anti-apartheid protests in the Seventies." Yet, it would be interesting to read in the future of the links between the British and South African intelligence services during the 1970s, the way information was shared, and who spied on whom right up until Mandela took power. It would be interesting to know if the proposed Terrorism Bill which bans "glorifying terrorism" would have sent Mr Hain to jail for once supporting and celebrating the ANC, denounced by Thatcher at the time as a "terrorist organisation", and its leader Nelson Mandela, jailed by the apartheid regime as a "terrorist".
The MAIL ON SUNDAY seems to think that there is something odd for participants in "radical" student politics to pass on later to become establishment figures immersing themselves in the administration of British capitalism and serving the interests of the British capitalist class.
Socialists believe there is nothing odd or inconsistent in this behaviour. All three politicians, Straw, Mandelson and Hain, believed in capitalism when they were students, and it is immaterial whether their support was for state or private capitalism. They all believed in political leadership. They did not believe then and they still do not believe today that the working class is cut out for Socialism. One of the hall marks of left wing parties, and the Labour Party in particular, is their contempt towards the working class, their belief in their own superiority, and their adherence to a vile and corrupt politics found in universities and carried on out into the adult world. They accepted then, and still accept now, the buying and selling of commodities, the profit motive and the wages system. In short, they were never socialists to begin with.
That the security forces were interested in the political activities of Straw, Mandelson and Hain makes no difference to what they were and what they were to become. As for the secret services, the track record of their activities is pretty poor: infiltrated from top to bottom by Russian spies and double agents for much of the Cold War, staffed by imperialist fascists from Oxbridge (personified in Le Carre's novel TINKER, TAILOR SOLDIER SPY), for all their resources, they could not predict the collapse of the Soviet Union and of state capitalism throughout Eastern Europe in 1989.
That MI5 spied on three students who were to become pillars of the political establishment indicates what an incompetent shower the spooks actually are.
Whenever they are "outed" they come across as sad, repressed, self-obsessed anoraks, pretending they are James Bond figures, martini in one hand and a revolver in the other.
The reality is altogether different. The secret police's craven obsequiousness to the demands of Blair's Labour government to "prove" that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, a Labour government moreover which is stuffed full of politicians whom the secret services once spied on: that is an irony not entirely lost on Socialists.
In truth, there were never any "reds under the bed". The pseudo-reds who went on to become Labour Ministers were always in the capitalist bed. Who was shafting whom is best left for the type of journalism the MAIL ON SUNDAY is renowned for writing, and the Electoral Commission/police who are currently looking at the various donations by businessmen to the Labour Party in return for a seat in the House of Lords.
[Labour's first Corporate Day] had all the hallmarks of a Conservative fundraising event. Chief Executives and directors of Britain's biggest companies lunching on Chablis and canapés, sponsored by Philip Morris the tobacco company, which hired Baroness Thatcher as a consultant, But there wasn't a Tory in sight - at least none willing to admit it.
The Empire Strikes Back
Schoolchildren are going to be indoctrinated with Imperialism when studying A-level history. The sinister sounding "Government curriculum advisory body" will force sixth formers to spend at least a quarter of their time studying the history of Empire, such as the rape of Africa, the Boer War with its concentration camps and the subjugation of India. The changes follow a call by Gordon Brown for a day to be set aside every year to celebrate "Britishness". He urged more open expressions of patriotism "to restore public unity and traditional values" (DAILY MAIL, 15 April 2006).
Like "God", "Britishness" is a meaningless and empty abstraction. The working class have no country to celebrate. You cannot have "public unity" in a class divided country where competition, unemployment, poor housing, and social alienation create the conditions for racism.
And if you look at the behaviour of the Labour Government with its pernicious mendacity, bribes, cronyism and moral bankruptcy it reflects the "traditional values" of all British governments; "we and the class we represent will think and act one way but we want you to act another". The traditional values of the ruling class: "hypocrisy and self-interest".
Imperialist History (what schoolchildren will not be taught).
1. In the late 17th century the British government licensed the pirates as "privateers", legalising their operations in return for a share of their proceeds.
2. Henry Morgan was the pirate who set the basis for the British Empire by raiding Gran Grenada. He was later knighted.
3. Sir Francis Wyatt, Governor of Virginia began the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans from the territory as early as the 17th century:
4. Three and a half million Africans came to the New World as slaves transported in British ships.
5. Rhodes' monopoly of African diamond production was secured by his friends in the City of London and in particular, the Rothschilds Bank. The death of African workers matched those in the coal mines of China today.
6. By 1914, the gross nominal value of Britain's stock of capital invested abroad was £3.8 billion, between two-fifths and a half of all foreign-owned assets. The majority of workers in Britain lived and died in miserable squalor.
7. The DAILY MAIL claimed to be the "Voice of Empire". The DAILY MAIL's contribution to Imperialist racism was its attitude to "economic migrants". Lord Northcliffe, the owner of The DAILY MAIL, had this simplistic political view: "The British people relish a good hero and a good hate".
8. Dr James Hunt laid the basis in the mid 19th century for the misuse of science by asserting that the "Negro" was a separate species while George Combe, author of A SYSTEM OF PHRENOLOGY (1825) set out to fraudulently portray racial differences in a highly derogatory way (EMPIRE, N. Ferguson pp.262-263).
9. Karl Pearson wrote:
10. Lord Roberts introduced a "scorched Earth policy" to the Boer War.
11. 27,927 Boer men, women and children died in the British concentration camps, and 14,000 blacks, 81 percent of them children, died in separate camps.
12. Who profited from the British Empire?
13. How much did Gladstone personally make from the British Empire?
14. What lessons can be learnt from the British Empire? The British Empire had nothing to do with the working class. The Empire enriched a few. Its impact was rape, pillage and plunder. The colour representing the British Empire on the world atlas should have been an ironic blood red.
Islamic Capitalism
Throughout recorded history religion has always been the hand-maiden and partner-in-crime of ruling classes. The Christian churches, catholic and protestant, apart from centuries spend slaughtering each other, have thrived and grown wealthy on the backs of slaves, feudal peasants and industrial wage-slaves, in companionship with the exploiting classes whose mouthpieces and 'morality' enforcers they have always been and, to this day, remain.
The Islamic religion, which serves capitalism by keeping its one and a half billion adherents on their knees, is quite open and blatant about its capitalist sponsorship and involvement, even to the extent of giving capitalism the direct approval of Allah, Mohammed and the Koran.
It is a significant fact that in present-day Russia there are 26 million Muslims and in Central Asia (Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyztan and Turkmenistan) there are a further 48.5 million. These are former Soviet Republics. So much for 74 years of Lenin's and Stalin's 'godless' Leftism - in reality state capitalism, falsely presented as socialism. These Central Asian republics are among the most tyrannical despotisms in the world, and feature prominently in the gas and oil pipeline rivalries of modern capitalism.
The people who publish tracts and booklets on the Internet and elsewhere, interpreting the taxation and banking laws of the Koran, so that the word of Allah is understood by the faithful, are called Islamic scholars - a classic case of the blind leading the blind. The Institute of Islamic Information and Education, under the heading BANKING ON ALLAH, has this to say:
One 'scholar' is referred to as saying: "Obey God's rules in other worlds, and your portfolio will prosper." Another, Jamil Jaroudi, had of Shamil Bank's investment banking, says: "The Islamic economy covered half the world. How do you think Islam reached Indonesia and Malaysia? It was through traders, not jihad." The text adds: "Indeed, Mohammed himself was a trader who early in his life led a caravan from Mecca to Syria" (p4).
They may argue about taking interest, and forms of money-making that are not acceptable to Islam, but:
Another tract, THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM OF ISLAM, tells us (p5):
So the Koran and Allah, the god of Islam, recognise the right of the capitalist class to amass private fortunes and accumulate wealth. But so-called Islamic economics remains very quiet about the source of those private fortunes. The source of wealth under capitalism is the exploitation of the class of wage-workers, who produce everything as employees but subsist themselves on what it costs, on average, to keep them fit and able to continue working.
This tract also gives us details about the Zakat:
This contradictory statement exposes the capitalist nature of that economics. For centuries the poor have remained poor, and had their poverty "ameliorated" by the taxes of the rich - who have remained rich. For centuries the poor have lived and died poor, and the rich have lived and died rich.
The same situation is common to capitalism everywhere. The poor are poor despite charity, not only in Muslim countries but throughout the world, because they are divorced from the means of production. They are a non-owning class - the poor among the class of wage-slaves, the unemployed, the old and the infirm.
They cannot escape the fact that 'private fortunes', 'prosperous portfolios' and 'stocks and shares' all owe their increments to the exploitation of wage-labour. Yet they lamely assert that "Islam has steered midway between Capitalism and Communism" (p3). They make the further absurd claim that "... eliminating too much disparity between the rich and the poor ..." is a Socialist principle. They accept that 'communism' means what it has been falsely represented to mean by capitalist and Soviet, state-capitalist, propagandists.
If they had ever taken the trouble to read Marx and Engels, they would know that Socialism and Communism are two words for the same thing: namely, a world of commonly owned means of production, with no rich or poor, the wage-system and market economy having been abolished, and production being carried on solely and freely to meet human needs.
The first law of capitalism is that capital, i.e. that part of wealth devoted to factories, machinery, transport systems, raw materials, and wage-labour, must constantly reproduce itself (be renewed) or perish.
Means of production will, of course, have to be renewed under Socialism. It is the capital-to-wage-labour relations of production that determine the class basis of capitalism: the class that owns society's means of production is able to exploit the non-owning class and constantly expand their capital at the expense of wage-labour. In his work, THE POVERTY OF PHILOSOPHY (chapter I, section II), Marx says:
Even the much trumpeted Islamic policy of not taking money in the form of interest is not an ideal prompted by human considerations but a concern for business failures caused by high interest rates. They even attribute depressions and crises to high interest rates (see THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM OF ISLAM, p6), and state quite blatantly:
Under the heading Muslim world, Wikipedia the free encyclopaedia tell us:
This is naked oil-capitalism with an Islamic fig-leaf. The profitable production of oil and gasses, and the amassing of vast revenues is backed by ruthless competition and ultimately by armed force.
Allah and the Koran may glorify profitable portfolios but it is capitalism that balances working-class blood against oil. It should not be forgotten that, in Iraq where Sunni and Shia Muslims are constantly bombing and shooting each other, the background behind such bloody power-struggles is to gain control of vast oil resources. For every cleric who talks of Islam as peaceful, there is another who supports the killing.
Saudi Arabia
Capitalism can quite rightly be called the system where "wealth accumulates and men decay". In Saudi Arabia it is the fabulously wealthy who decay as much as the desperately poor. In their book SAUDI BABYLON, Hollingsworth and Mitchell present mind-blowing details of incredible wealth accruing to a tiny class of princely parasites. They detail some of the activities of Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, Saudi ambassador to the United States.
Prince Bandar is quoted telling the PBS Frontline programme:
Against the background of FBI and US Treasury investigations of other suspicious transactions, a further $17.4 million becomes the focus of attention.
The wealth of King Fahd dwarfs even these excesses. Until his near-fatal stroke in 1995, he reigned for 23 years and acquired a private fortune of $20 billion, according to Forbes magazine (cited by Hollingsworth and Mitchell, p118).
This is not the full list of his worldwide property portfolio. Muslims are expected to believe that Allah ordains such wealth and power. Currently oil revenues are around $50 billion a year. A former Saudi diplomat is quoted saying:
The Saudi regime not only cuts off hands: there were 81 decapitations in 2005 (TELETEXT, 20 December 2005).
In November 2005, Saudi Arabia was accepted as member 149 of the World Trade Organisation, after waiting for 14 years.
The world's biggest oil exporter, the country that cuts off the hands of thieves and beheads people, was told they will have to adopt WTO "liberalisation legislation and an open economy" (CEEFAX, 11 November 2005). The hypocrisy is obvious, as with China: trade and oil first, and bourgeois liberalisation later.
The SUNDAY TIMES RICH LIST (2005) gives the world's 50 richest people. Number 8 is Prince Alwaleed, Saudi Arabia, with £12.3 billion. Number 11 is King Fahd (family), with £11.4 billion. Number 14 is the Sultan of Brunei with £10.4 billion. Number 42 is Nassar al Kharafi, Kuwait, with £4.7 billion.
Currently Iran is being heavily leaned on by the US, the UK, Russia, China and Israel, over the issue of the enrichment of uranium fuel with its potential for the production of nuclear weapons. All the above-mentioned countries have nuclear arsenals of their own. Their hypocrisy could hardly be more nauseating. In 2006, capitalism as always confronts us with a powder-keg world.
The Left and Islamic Capitalism
THE CAPITALIST LEFT Part 2 - continued from The SPGB 59
Stalin and his uncritical fans
The capitalist left's support for dictatorships and terrorists as well as for capitalist nations opposed to the Western Capitalism has a historical precedence.
Government Expenditure, Taxes and the Class Struggle
In the heyday of British capitalism when it was said that Britain was "the workshop of the world", profits were high, and in the period 1860-1875 they increased enormously. This was the period of "laissez-faire" when governments had little or no involvement in business. Because the cost of government was very low, the capitalists retained almost all of their income and were able to accumulate vast fortunes.
Causes of Increased Government Expenditure
The cost of government has increased because governments have taken on additional functions, in particular what are known as "social services". Collectively, in 1900 the social services cost about 2.5% of total national income. Their cost increased to 4% in 1910, 6.4% in 1920, 10% in 1938 and, with the Beveridge reforms after World War II, to 15.5%.
Effect on the wealth of the super rich
The combined effect of the various higher rates of tax and inheritance duty on higher amounts of income and property has been the very sharp decline in the proportion of accumulated wealth owned by the richest 1% and richest 5% of the population, although in recent years the capitalist class has had a greater success in increasing its portfolio of wealth.
In a recent book, RICH BRITAIN: THE RISE AND RISE OF THE NEW SUPER WEALTHY (Politico, 2006), Stewart Lansley showed that the share of wealth owned by the top 1 per cent rose from a historic low in 1989 to 23 per cent in 2002. According to the annual Rich Lists published by the SUNDAY TIMES, the number of billionaires in Britain has more than tripled since 1990, while for those worth over £100m, it has risen more than five fold (DATA MONITOR, 2006)
The capitalist class as individuals would like to pay no tax at all, and have a minimal state, as described by Adam Smith in the WEALTH OF NATIONS.
Class Struggle
Unlike the classical economists (e.g. Adam Smith and David Ricardo) who believed in the harmony of classes, Marx emphasised the importance of class: class interest, class conflict, class struggle and class revolution. Class was defined in an objective way with respect to the means of production.
How The Change To Socialism Will Happen
We have been asked to produce an article dealing with questions about the number of Socialists necessary to establish Socialism. The need is felt to counter the argument that Socialism is impossible since the Party's Principles state:
The European Union and World Capitalism
The European Union, whether made up of just six countries or enlarged to 15 or 25 states, remains a union of capitalist national states, each seeking their own advantage in terms of profitable investments and trade. Each country has a wealthy minority of employers, and a majority who spend their lives on the labour market working for wages or, alternatively, are unemployed. Capitalism has nothing to offer workers whether in 'independent' countries or in huge conglomerations.
Bureaucracy in Crisis
The power structure of the EU has always been a top-heavy bureaucracy accountable to no one. The more countries that join, the more remote the centralised ruling clique of commissioners becomes. There is an obvious parallel with the former Soviet Union with its commissars where, as the bureaucracy grew, its remoteness and inefficiency, as well as its irrelevance to the lives of the working class, also became greater. Just as everything had to have the stamp of Moscow approval, so with the EU. Brussels dictates policies that by remote control affect the lives of over 300 million people. The fact that boom-and-bust capitalism is driven by profits means there will be winners and losers, with major powers in the EU - like France and Germany - seeking continued dominance.
The World Scene in Brief
The world ambitions of competing power blocs are bound to clash. What is a strong European Union able to do about the continuing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan? In both cases, control of oil and gas resources is the big factor as America determinedly backs its interest with military power. In June this year, Britain's Labour government (a member of the EU), which has backed American militarism, announced more British troops were to go to Afghanistan to "help the US tackle disorder" (TELETEXT, 13 June 2005) as suicide bombings and armed resistance have increased after nearly four years of 'liberation'.
More World Chaos
In world trade competition, another force to be reckoned with is China. In June 2005, EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson was in Shanghai warning the Chinese that the EU would take measures to curb their textile exports if the two sides failed to settle their trade dispute. It was stated that China's cheap products threatened some 2.5 million jobs in the EU textile industries. In this instance, China agreed to a temporary limit on its textile exports to the EU, but the competition will be moved elsewhere as new markets will need to be found. American textile bosses also want a limit to Chinese imports.
Workers' Interest - Socialism
The fact that the capitalist class, in countries both large and small, owns the productive resources, means that the working class spends its working life being exploited to produce wealth which enriches the idle owners in the forms of rent, interest and profits while they, the producers, subsist on wages.
Stalin's 'Cult of The Individual'
It is now half a century since the 20th Congress of the CPSU (Feb 1956) when Khrushchev delivered his famous 'secret speech', at a closed session. In this, he denounced Stalin's 'cult of the individual', to the horror of many in his audience. To be safe, he then leaked this text - or a version of it - to a Western journalist who was about to leave Russia the next day for a holiday.
Tolpuddle and the Effectiveness of Trade Unions
Tolpuddle 2006 might be a good place to begin to ask the question about the effectiveness of trade unions. The effectiveness of trade union action has clearly been blunted by support for the Labour Party. But the experience of all Labour Governments, particularly the present one, has shown that, far from using political power to force employers to grant wages increases, governments have used political power against workers either to impose wage constraint or to reduce wages.
Desperate Spoiling Tactics
The Clapham-based Socialist Party has a three-tiered structure. At the top are the godfathers who run the party, make the decisions and plot the strategy. The second tier are the students who usually last until they graduate or find a safe academic job. Then there is the lower tier - those who have buried their heads in the sand for the best part of 20 years, thinking that the political struggle in the old The SPGB and the split into two separate organisations was just a bad dream.
The Dark Art of Black Propaganda
The Tory Party has a long history of practicing the dark art of black propaganda although they are not alone in this respect. A recent example in the form of an article "Fascism has always had a socialist edge, which is why it now threatens New Labour" (THE INDEPENDENT (21.04.06), written by Dominic Lawson. Another article of a similar nature was published in the TIMES (25.04.08) by the Tory, Oliver Kamm against the reformist and anti-working class organisation calling itself Respect.
Capitalism Causes Unemployment, Racist Conflict and Fascism
It is instructive to reflect on the Great depression of 1875 to 1895. It was at this time that the word "unemployment" first came into prominent use. This period also saw the rise of political racism, particularly in the East End of London where unemployment was severe.
Q and A: Immigration
Object and Declaration of Principles
The establishment of a system of society based upon the common ownership and democratic control of the means and instruments for producing and distributing wealth by and in the interest of the whole community.
Declaration of Principles
1. That society as at present constituted is based upon the ownership of the means of living (ie land, factories, railways, etc.) by the capitalist or master class, and the consequent enslavement of the working class, by whose labour alone wealth is produced.
2. That in society, therefore, there is an antagonism of interests, manifesting itself as a class struggle, between those who possess but do not produce and those who produce but do not possess.
3.That this antagonism can be abolished only by the emancipation of the working class from the domination of the master class, by the conversion into common property of society of the means of production and distribution, and their democratic control by the whole people.
4. That as in the order of social evolution the working class is the last class to achieve its freedom, the emancipation of the working class will involve the emancipation of all mankind without distinction of race or sex.
5. That this emancipation must be the work of the working class itself.
6. That as the machinery of government, including the armed forces of the nation, exists only to conserve the monopoly by the capitalist class of the wealth taken from the workers, the working class must organise consciously and politically for the conquest of the powers of government, national and local, in order that this machinery, including these forces, may be converted from an instrument of oppression into the agent of emancipation and the overthrow of privilege, aristocratic and plutocratic.
7. That as all political parties are but the expression of class interests, and as the interest of the working class is diametrically opposed to the interests of all sections of the master class, the party seeking working class emancipation must be hostile to every other party.
8. The Socialist Party of Great Britain, therefore, enters the field of political action determined to wage war against all other political parties, whether alleged labour or avowedly capitalist, and calls upon the members of the working class of this country to muster under its banner to the end that a speedy termination may be wrought to the system which deprives them of the fruits of their labour, and that poverty may give place to comfort, privilege to equality, and slavery to freedom.

Metal Gear Solid is a video game by Hideo Kojima. The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami in 1998 for the PlayStation video game console. It is the sequel to Kojima's early MSX2 computer games Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. The game featured cinematic cutscenes rendered using the in-game engine and graphics, as well as voice acting in numerous codec sequences.
Metal Gear Solid follows Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from FOXHOUND, a renegade special forces unit. Snake must liberate two hostages, the head of DARPA and the president of a major arms manufacturer, confront the terrorists, and stop them from launching a nuclear strike.
Metal Gear Solid was very well-received, shipping more than six million copies,and scoring an average of 94 out of 100 on the aggregate website Metacritic. It is recognized by many critics as one of the best and most important games of all time, heralded as the game which made the stealth genre popular. The commercial success of the title prompted the release of an expanded version for the PlayStation and PC, titled Metal Gear Solid: Integral; and a remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was later released for the Nintendo GameCube. The game has also spawned numerous sequels, prequels and spin-offs, including several games, a radio drama, comics, and novels.

A man accused of importing 850 pounds of conch without a valid permit last year pleaded not guilty in Summary Court Tuesday.
The defendant, Carl Harshall Ebanks, was represented by attorney Michael Alberga. Mr. Alberga told Magistrate Valdis Foldats that he could make his legal submissions in five or 10 minutes and the whole trial did not need to take more than half an hour.
The magistrate asked if he and Crown counsel Kenneth Ferguson agreed on the facts of the case. They both indicated yes.
"So, the issue is whether the law applies to the facts?" the magistrate asked.
"Yes," Mr. Alberga replied.
Mr. Ebanks is accused of bringing the conch, referred to in the charge as "a specimen," into George Town harbor on Oct. 17, 2017. The charge was laid under the Endangered Species (Trade and Transport) Law, 2017. The law provides for a penalty of up to $500,000 and four years imprisonment. It also allows for the vessel concerned to be seized.
Mr. Alberga advised that the boat on which Mr. Ebanks had brought the conch had not been seized, so there was no urgency in setting a trial date. The magistrate set trial for Thursday, June 7.

And just for thought...
Don't Ask
Excuse me if the pain is etched too deeply in my eyes.
Don't mind when my voice falls to a quiver.
Please turn deaf ears to the low sobs sounding from my throat.
Ignore the twitchy nervousness in my fingers.
I may never speak of the hollowness I feel in my bones.
My smile often betrays my sadness.
Don't ask of the invisible cross I bare
nor why the nights shake me far worse.
Sugar coated happiness hides my scars.
Sometimes the sorrow leaks into the cracks and shows itself but please look the other way.
There are moments when I cannot fight.
Please pay no attention to the weakness in my knees.
Say nothing if sometimes what I hide shows itself.
Leave a Reply.
At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who has been in love with writing her entire life. I am full of quirks, anxieties, fears, joys, laughter. And all I have wanted to do was give the world a smile.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER 鈥⒙?NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: NPR,聽The New York Times Book Review, Time, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post 鈥?The McKinsey Business Book of the Year
 聽
 The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the one-time multibillion-dollar biotech startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes鈥攏ow the subject of the HBO documentary The Inventor鈥?lt;/i>by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end.

 鈥淭he story is even crazier than I expected, and I found myself unable to put it down once I started. This book has everything: elaborate scams, corporate intrigue, magazine cover stories, ruined family relationships, and the demise of a company once valued at nearly $10 billion.鈥?鈥擝ill Gates

 In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup 鈥渦nicorn鈥?promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes鈥檚 worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn鈥檛 work.

 A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit of Excellence

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Blackstone chairman, CEO, and co-founder Stephen A. Schwarzman, a long-awaited book that uses impactful episodes from Schwarzman's life to show readers how to build, transform, and lead thriving organizations. Whether you are a student, entrepreneur, philanthropist, executive, or simply someone looking for ways to maximize your potential, the same lessons apply.

People know who Stephen Schwarzman is鈥攁t least they think they do. He鈥檚 the man who took $400,000 and co-founded Blackstone, the investment firm that manages over $500 billion (as of January 2019). He鈥檚 the CEO whose views are sought by heads of state. He鈥檚 the billionaire philanthropist who founded Schwarzman Scholars, this century鈥檚 version of the Rhodes Scholarship, in China. But behind these achievements is a man who has spent his life learning and reflecting on what it takes to achieve excellence, make an impact, and live a life of consequence.

Folding handkerchiefs in his father鈥檚 linen shop, Schwarzman dreamed of a larger life, filled with purpose and adventure. His grades and athleticism got him into Yale. After starting his career in finance with a short stint at a financial firm called DLJ, Schwarzman began working at Lehman Brothers where he ascended to run the mergers and acquisitions practice. He eventually partnered with his mentor and friend Pete Peterson to found Blackstone, vowing to create a new and different kind of financial institution.

Building Blackstone into the leading global financial institution it is today didn鈥檛 come easy. Schwarzman focused intensely on culture, hiring great talent, and establishing processes that allow the firm to systematically analyze and evaluate risk. Schwarzman鈥檚 simple mantra 鈥渄on鈥檛 lose money鈥?has helped Blackstone become a leading private equity and real estate investor, and manager of alternative assets for institutional investors globally. Both he and the firm are known for the rigor of their investment process, their innovative approach to deal making, the diversification of their business lines, and a conviction to be the best at everything they do.

Schwarzman is also an active philanthropist, having given away more than a billion dollars. In philanthropy, as in business, he is drawn to situations where his capital and energy can be applied to drive transformative solutions and change paradigms, notably in education. He uses the skills learned over a lifetime in finance to design, establish, and support impactful and innovative organizations and initiatives. His gifts have ranged from creating a new College of Computing at MIT for the study of artificial intelligence, to establishing a first-of-its-kind student and performing arts center at Yale, to enabling the renovation of the iconic New York Public Library, to founding the Schwarzman Scholars fellowship program at Tsinghua University in Beijing鈥攖he single largest philanthropic effort in China鈥檚 history from international donors.

Schwarzman鈥檚 story is an empowering, entertaining, and informative guide for anyone striving for greater personal impact. From deal making to investing, leadership to entrepreneurship, philanthropy to diplomacy, Schwarzman has lessons for how to think about ambition and scale, risk and opportunities, and how to achieve success through the relentless pursuit of excellence. Schwarzman not only offers readers a thoughtful reflection on all his own experiences, but in doing so provides a practical blueprint for success.
Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral and Drive Major Economi...

From Nobel Prize鈥搘inning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller, a new way to think about how popular stories help drive economic events

In a world in which internet troll farms attempt to influence foreign elections, can we afford to ignore the power of viral stories to affect economies? In this groundbreaking book, Nobel Prize鈥搘inning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller offers a new way to think about the economy and economic change. Using a rich array of historical examples and data, Shiller argues that studying popular stories that affect individual and collective economic behavior鈥攚hat he calls "narrative economics"鈥攈as the potential to vastly improve our ability to predict, prepare for, and lessen the damage of financial crises, recessions, depressions, and other major economic events.

Spread through the public in the form of popular stories, ideas can go viral and move markets鈥攚hether it's the belief that tech stocks can only go up, that housing prices never fall, or that some firms are too big to fail. Whether true or false, stories like these鈥攖ransmitted by word of mouth, by the news media, and increasingly by social media鈥攄rive the economy by driving our decisions about how and where to invest, how much to spend and save, and more. But despite the obvious importance of such stories, most economists have paid little attention to them. Narrative Economics sets out to change that by laying the foundation for a way of understanding how stories help propel economic events that have had led to war, mass unemployment, and increased inequality.

The stories people tell鈥攁bout economic confidence or panic, housing booms, the American dream, or Bitcoin鈥攁ffect economic outcomes. Narrative Economics explains how we can begin to take these stories seriously. It may be Robert Shiller's most important book to date.

Author of cult classics The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability.

Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that:

路 Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances.
路 A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line.
路 Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving聽long-term growth.

With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.

The best-selling investing "bible" offers new information, new insights, and new perspectives

The Little Book of Common Sense Investing聽is the classic guide to getting smart about the market. Legendary mutual fund 聽pioneer John C. Bogle reveals his key to getting more out of investing: low-cost index funds. Bogle describes the simplest and most effective investment strategy for building wealth over the long term: buy and hold, at very low cost, a mutual fund that tracks a broad stock market Index such as the S&P 500.

While the stock market has tumbled and then soared since the first edition of Little Book of Common Sense was published in April 2007, Bogle鈥檚 investment principles have endured and served investors well.聽 This tenth anniversary edition includes updated data and new information but maintains the same long-term perspective as in its predecessor.聽

Bogle has also added two new chapters designed to provide further guidance to investors:聽 one on asset allocation, the other on retirement investing.

A portfolio focused on index funds is the only investment that effectively guarantees聽your fair share of stock market returns. This strategy is favored by Warren Buffett, who said this about Bogle: 鈥淚f a statue is ever erected to honor the person who has done the most for American investors, the hands-down choice should be Jack Bogle. For decades, Jack has urged investors to invest in ultra-low-cost index funds. . . . Today, however, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he helped millions of investors realize far better returns on their savings than they otherwise would have earned. He is a hero to them and to me.鈥?lt;/p>
Bogle shows you how to make index investing work for you and help you achieve your financial goals, and finds support from some of the world's best financial minds: not only Warren Buffett, but Benjamin Graham, Paul Samuelson, Burton Malkiel, Yale鈥檚 David Swensen, Cliff Asness of AQR, and many others.

This new edition of聽The Little Book of Common Sense Investing聽offers you the same solid strategy as its predecessor for building your financial future.

Build a broadly diversified, low-cost portfolio without the risks of individual stocks, manager selection, or sector rotation.

Forget the fads and marketing hype, and focus on what works in the real world.

Understand that stock returns are generated by three sources (dividend yield, earnings growth, and change in market valuation) in order to establish rational expectations for stock returns over the coming decade.

Recognize that in the long run, business reality 聽trumps market expectations.

Learn how to harness the magic of compounding returns while avoiding the tyranny of compounding costs.

While index investing allows you to sit back and let the market do the work for you, too many investors trade frantically, turning a winner鈥檚 game into a loser鈥檚 game. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing聽is a solid guidebook to your financial future.
