Articles by Richard Weikart
Richard Weikart is Professor of History at California State University, Stanislaus. He completed his Ph.D. in modern European history at the University of Iowa in 1994, receiving the biennial prize of the Forum for History of Human Sciences for the best dissertation in that field. His revised dissertation, Socialist Darwinism: Evolution in German Socialist Thought from Marx to Bernstein, was published in 1999.
His book, From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany, documents the influence of naturalistic evolution on ethical thought, euthanasia, militarism, racism, and ultimately Hitler's ideology. It was published with Palgrave Macmillan in 2004. For more information on this book, go to www.darwintohitler.com.
His "From Darwin to Hitler" lecture delivered at the University of California San Diego is available here.
Dr. Weikart has also written Hitler's Ethic: The Nazi Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009) which helps explain the mystery of Hitler's pernicious ideology by demonstrating that Hitler's immorality flowed from a coherent ethic, inspired by an evolutionary utopian project of biologically improving the human race.
With an extensive background in modern German and modern European intellectual history, he has published articles in journals such as Isis, Journal of the History of Ideas, German Studies Review, History of European Ideas, European Legacy, and Fides et Historia. One such article received the Selma V. Forkosch Prize for the best article in 1993 in the Journal of the History of Ideas.

Hawai'i Cultural Experience
Auntie Lynda Saffery Tu'a and Wailana Simcock
About the Facilitator(s)
Lynda Saffery Tu'a received her formal training from a 1988 State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, Apprentice Grant for Ulana Lauhala, a 1989 State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, Masters Grant for Ulana Lauhala and a 2002 sabbatical to Tonga to study weaving and kapa making and design. She has been a Featured Artist in 1997 State Foundation on Culture and the Arts Publication "Traditions We Share." She has also been honored to make ka'ai (burial baskets) for iwi kupuna (bones of the Elders) returned to Pu'u Honua 'O Honaunau from the Smithsonian Institute. She continues to teach the traditional ways and designs of the kupuna, enjoys being part of the holua culture and ulana makaloa revival, and uses and teaches la'au lapa'au (traditional herbal medicine). She especially finds fulfillment in honoring Wahi Pana (Sacred Places).
Wailana Simcock was born in the Philippines to a Pinay mother and a New Zealand father and was raised in O'ahu since age 5. He speaks fluent Tagalog and Hawaiian and is influenced by his own and of Hawaii's native cultural practices. The history of colonialism in the places he was born and raised in has impelled him to question the ideas of race, culture, and power. Wailana is trained in Hula, Modern, and Aerial Dance. He performed with the groundbreaking productions of 'Ulalena (Maui) and Waikiki Nei (O'ahu). Designing a unique multidisciplinary degree at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo titled "Culture and Performance in Contemporary Hawaii" (2006), Simcock merged Hawaiian language, culture, and ethos with western theater arts. He continues with this focus in his participation with N2 Dance program (Maika and 'Ānela Woods) in the honorable Hawaiian immersion school Nāwahīokalani'ōpu'u (K-12) where he teaches western dance theater constructs in the Hawaiian language.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
We analyze a new family of carbon nanotube-based molecular wires, formed by encapsulating metallocene molecules inside the nanotubes. Our simulations, which are based on a combination of nonequilibrium Green function techniques and density functional theory, indicate that these wires can be engineered to exhibit desirable magnetotransport effects for use in spintronics devices. The proposed structures should also be resilient to room-temperature fluctuations, and are expected to have a high yield.

Sometime apps that you had installed using up batteries. Uninstall unnecessary apps or factory reset/hard reset might help. Or simply it could be a bad battery.
check settings/about phone/battery, see which apps are using most battery. Don't use a task killer, you'll find most apps start automatically so use an app like autostart to prevent them doing so.

Buy an extended battery at Amazon online store. I have a 4100mah extended battery and it lasted me from 10:30am-10:30pm just listening to a radio station in iHeartRadio app alone. I turned the phone off while I'm in the library. I'm a light user. It lasted 15 hours after conditioning the battery 6 xs. When the phone's battery indicator shows yellow, I put the micro USB plug in to recharge it b4 bedtime. Read the customers' reviews at Amazon.com ( both good and bad ) . I hope this tried and true advice helps you. The 4100mah battery comes with a free back cover for it. And, sadly, your case will not fit in the back of it. But the free back cover will help you grip your phone well. It does for me.

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Esophagitis Esophagitis is the irritation and inflammation of the lining of your esophagus. The esophagus is the food pipe. Because the lining of the esophagus is sensitive, many things can cause swelling and irritation. Causes of esophagitis These are some possible causes of irritation and inflammation: Stomach acid in the food pipe. If you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach acid leaks backward into your esophagus. If this happens on a regular basis, it may cause esophagitis. Chronic vomiting Medicines, such as aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medicines Medical procedures, such as radiation therapy Infections that weaken your immune system Allergies, often to foods Esophagitis can have serious consequences that affect your quality of life. If left untreated, esophagitis may develop into a condition called Barrett's esophagus. This may increase your risk for esophageal cancer. Symptoms You may experience these symptoms with esophagitis: Sore throat Feeling that something is stuck in your throat Sores in your mouth Nausea or vomiting Difficulty or painful swallowing Heartburn Risk factors You may be at risk for esophagitis unrelated to an infection if you: Are pregnant Smoke Are obese Are an elderly adult Consume a lot of alcohol, coffee, chocolate, fatty foods, or spicy foods Use certain medicines, including NSAID pain relievers, nitrates, and beta blockers Have a spinal cord injury Have had radiation therapy for chest tumors Swallow medicine with too little water or get a pill stuck in your throat Have scleroderma, an autoimmune disease Have many allergies, especially to certain foods Diagnosis To make a diagnosis, your healthcare provider may do these things: Take a medical history and do a physical exam. Order an upper GI series. This test consists of X-ray images of your esophagus and stomach as you swallow a barium fluid that shows any problem areas. Order an endoscopy. This is an outpatient procedure in which the gastroenterologist uses a tiny camera on a thin, flexible tube to look inside your esophagus for signs of esophagitis. Do an esophageal pH test for stomach acid. The gastroenterologist will insert sensors or thin wires during an endoscopy to gather information over 1 to 3 days. This may help your healthcare provider find out about stomach acid that may be appearing in the esophagus. Treatment Treatment for esophagitis depends on the cause. These are possible treatments: Therapy. This is to find the cause of your esophagitis. Acid-blocking medicines Additional medicines. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medicines to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter. This keeps stomach acid in your stomach. Avoidance of certain foods. This is necessary if you have an allergic cause to your esophagitis. Dilation. Stretching of the esophagus is done during an endoscopy. Lifestyle changes. If your esophagitis is caused by GERD, your healthcare provider might offer these recommendations: Raise the head of your bed so that you sleep with your head slightly above your feet. Change your eating habits to limit acid or irritation of the esophagus. This might mean switching to a bland diet for a while and avoiding spicy foods, citrus foods, chocolate, fatty foods, and caffeine. Stop smoking. Avoid or limit alcohol. Maintain a healthy weight. Become more active. Surgery. Your healthcare provider may recommend surgery if you have bleeding or narrowing of the esophagus. It also might be recommended if it is needed to control the spread of precancerous cells. Complications Problems that can happen with esophagitis include: Difficulty swallowing or eating Bleeding Narrowing of the esophagus Living with esophagitis Esophagitis can return if you do not make some changes in the way you live. Living with this condition means following your healthcare provider's recommendations on lifestyle changes and medicine use. When to call the healthcare provider Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms return. Medical Reviewers: Freeborn, Donna, PhD, CNM, FNP Lehrer, Jenifer, MD

Norris-Laguardia Act
labor injunction contracts federal
The Norris-LaGuardia Act (29 U.S.C.A. § 101 et seq.) is one of the initial federal LABOR LAWS in favor of organized labor. It was enacted in 1932 to provide that contracts that limit an employee's right to join a LABOR UNION are unlawful. Such contracts are commonly known as YELLOW DOG CONTRACTS. Initially the law was known as the anti-injunction act since its numerous restrictions had the effect of stopping any federal court from issuing an INJUNCTION to end a labor dispute. In one part of the act, for example, there is a provision that an injunction prohibiting a strike cannot be issued unless the local police are either unwilling or unable to prevent damage or violence.

Head of Rosnanotech, Leonid Melamed, said the first project was to promote Russias space industry. | |
The current task is to create competitive advantages for Russia`s space agency using nanotechnology. This will help our space industry not only to maintain its current market position but also to enter other international markets, Melamed said. | |
Under the agreement there will be a special department within the corporation working on aerospace projects. | |
Nanotechnology involves the use of tiny structures to create devices such as solar-heating panels and computer chips. In Russia, scientists have made breakthroughs in the fields of metals, medicine and molecular chemistry. However, business has been slow to take up their ideas. | |
The reason for the delays is that profits from investing in this kind of projects take time to materialise. | |
Insurance analyst Evgeny Shago says: thats why many private investors do not want to invest into such long-term and risky projects. Currently, only government is ready to invest capital, | |
Russia also has an eye on China and India, which are making major inroads into nanotechnology. | |
The creation of state corporations in key sectors has been central to industrial policy under Putins administration. So far, Russia has set up six state-run firms in four years. |

As set-top boxes that stream content over the internet to your TV become more popular, certain elements are starting to stand out to differentiate the best ones. Recently, the most popular of these elements is Netflix support. Roku has it, TiVo has it, some Blu-ray players have it and now even the Xbox 360 has it. So it makes sense that Boxee, the digital interface software company that hopes to land deals to get on set-top boxes, would add support for it. Today, it's announcing just that.
But it's not just that, the Netflix application that Boxee is using appears to be significantly better than the offerings of other current set-top boxes. That's because while all of those simply allow you to browse the "Watch Instantly" movies you've already placed in your queue on your computer, the Boxee version of Netflix appears to allow you to browse from within the program itself.
I say "appears" because I've only seen pictures of it in action. I haven't actually used it because, sadly, the Netflix feature does not yet work on the Boxee built for the Apple TV. The company says this is due to "hardware limitations" of the Apple TV, and that it's their number one priority to get it working right now.
Boxee is also gaining new content today from TheWB, The Boston Globe's Big Picture blog and MTVMusic. It has also updated the user interfaces for its Hulu, YouTube, CNN, Flickr and Picasa areas.
So Boxee now has content from Netflix and Hulu (along with a wide range of other providers). For some people, that's the Holy Grail of streaming content. As soon as it can bring both into the living room via the Apple TV, I will be a very happy man.

- Record Label: Cyclic Law
- Availability: In Stock
Cyclic Law is proud to bring forth another new comer to it's roster, this time with US duo PSYCHOMANTEUM's debut "Oneironaut". The album is a sonic portrayal of dreams tainted with the beauty of melancholia and mystery, based on various dream structures and esoteric emotions of it's creators. Carefully manipulated field recordings layered with dense melodic drones, processed guitars and keyboards form the foundation of this body of work. The concept of the dream traveler is the main focal point behind each piece, serving as an orbital center which feeds energy and emotion into all encompassed works. A travelogue of otherworldly proportions, where the search for one's self leads you into the abyss of the soul. Relinquish consciousness and let the subconscious speak… The album's unique visual artwork was carefully channelled by the legendary Kati Astraeir.

Stability or regularity of the daily travel time in Lyon? Application of a duration model
Escaping unidimensional analysis limits and linear regression irrelevancy, the duration model incorporates impacts of covariates on the duration variable and permits to test the dependence of daily travel times on elapsed time. In the perspective of a discussion of Zahavi's hypothesis, the duration model approach is applied to the daily travel times of Lyon (France). The relationships between daily travel times and socio-economic attributes and activity duration only support the "weak version of TTB stability hypothesis". Furthermore the non-monotonic estimated hazard questions the minimisation of daily travel times.

All pals together, England began their journey to redemption yesterday. It went far better than most of those outside the dressing room feared, or than those inside it probably dared hope.
There is a long way to go in this third and final Test match, which will decide the series, but their beginning was tickety-boo. South Africa finished the opening day on 262-7. This was a recovery from 54-4. However, England needed a stroke of good fortune.
In the opening session, the umpires, whether on or off the field, could not have been more accommodating in their interpretation of the decision review system. A lack of incisiveness from Stuart Broad at the start was followed by a lack of control from Steve Finn, at the Pavilion End, which perversely worked in England's favour. James Anderson, below, was again the most impressive of the seam trio.
Anderson provided England with an enormous surge of confidence by removing Graeme Smith. He reached for a ball outside off and despite a clear sound as it passed the bat, the umpire denied the appeal. England asked for a review which clearly indicated that the ball had grazed an edge at the precise moment the bat thudded into the ground, making it difficult for the umpire to make a call.
Alviro Petersen followed 10 overs later when he gloved a short ball from Finn. Replays showed that his hand might – or might not – have been off the bat at the moment of impact, which would have rendered a verdict null and void. There was no doubt whatever about the peach of a ball from Finn which removed Hashim Amla, beaten all ends up.
The Petersen dismissal was a mere warm-up for that of Jacques Kallis. England went up for a huge appeal for a catch behind. Kallis shook his head but on a nod from Matt Prior, England asked for another review. It took an age of replays and there was no concrete visual evidence that the ball had taken Kallis's glove. There was, however, a noise at the key point and this swayed the third umpire Rod Tucker. Yet from certain views, Kallis' hand looked to be off the bat.
England appeared to get lucky when Jacques Kallis was given out when it seemed as though his glove was not holding the bat. So what is the law?
MCC Law 32
1. Out caught
The striker is out caught if a ball delivered by the bowler, touches his bat without having previously been in contact with any fielder, and is subsequently held by a fielder as a fair catch before it touches the ground.
The following are to be considered as part of the bat – the whole of the bat itself; the whole of a glove (or gloves) worn on the hand (or hands) holding the bat; the hand (or hands) holding the bat, if the batsman is not wearing a glove on that hand or on those hands.

A bid to bring the World Transplant Games to the North East is gathering momentum.
Having hosted the most successful British Transplant Games ever last year, Newcastle and Gateshead is currently bidding to host the World Games in the summer of 2019.
Now, some of the key figures transplant sporting world have visited Newcastle ahead of a decision being made in July.
Newcastle and Gateshead has been shortlisted alongside Houston in Texas and it's hoped this week's visit will go towards securing the event for the region.
Visitors to the Freeman Hospital's Institute of Transplantation from the World Transplant Games Federation included Australia president Chris Thomas.
David Nix, chairman of the Donor Family Network, said: "As Newcastle and Gateshead bids to bring the World Transplant Games here, the visit from the federation has provided a great opportunity to both profile the pioneering work underway here and to formally thank some of the organisations and individuals playing an important role in keeping organ donation front of mind.

A surge in output in the Andean economy has seen banking services extend far and wide a trend that has also meant consumer loans growth at twice the rate as that of corporate loans over the past year.
Loans are growing at roughly 2.5-3.5 times GDP, driven by mortgages, consumer and credit card loans.
BBVA Continental¹s CEO Eduardo Torres-Llosa tells LatinFinance it¹s a trend he expects to continue. ³The number of debtors in the system is pretty low, and we see a lot of opportunities in this segment of the population.² He expects the bank to double in size over the next five years.
Like its other large and successful domestic competitor Banco de Crédito del Perú, the well-capitalized Continental enjoys ready access to funds. In August, it issued a 10-year, $500 million senior bond, which came in around 16 times oversubscribed, Torres-Llosa says.
Challenges ahead for Peru¹s banks include making sure credit doesn¹t expand too rapidly if the economy shows signs of overheating. Equally, banking authorities are also expected to double up efforts to find skilled professionals to staff the burgeoning sector.
With $12 billion in loans and another $12 billion in deposits, BBVA Continental is the most profitable bank in Peru, Torres-Llosa says, with ROE around 35%. Its efficiency ratio is 36%, and the bank says its past-due loans ratio, at 1.2% is the best in the system; it also has the highest coverage ratio of non-performing loans in the system at 350%.
Torres-Llosa points to mortgage lending as one of the bank¹s core strengths.
The mortgage sector is growing more than 20% annually an expansion that¹s likely to continue as more of the population gains access to the financial system. Meanwhile, the bank has been aggressively expanding its distribution network, increasing the number of branches and ATMs by some 40%-50% in the last three years.
BBVA Continential has pushed for an increased presence in the payroll segment, where it has continued to grow its market share with new products and services, jumping from 22% to 29% in recent years. It is also number one in the medium enterprise sector, where it has reinforced its market share, while it looks to beef up its small enterprise expertise.
³That¹s a very attractive segment,² Torres-Llosa says. ³But you have to know how to manage that segment, because there is a lot of risk.² Though Colombia has been the focus of internationally-driven M&A activity this year, foreigners beyond BBVA and Scotia may be eyeing Peru more closely. Continental expects to see more international competitors enter the country, drawn by its growth prospects and relatively appealing regulatory environment.
³We have to work with a sense of urgency in terms of getting the loyalty of our clients and increasing our presence in Peru,² Torres-Llosa says. LF

Self-promotion: a subject much on many writers' minds. All across the Internet, new authors are urged to be proactive in publicizing themselves and their books–to build a "brand." But what to do? And how much?
A frequent question, especially among self- and small press-published authors, is how books get into libraries, and what authors can do to help. Today, guest blogger and public librarian Abigail Goben explains how libraries choose the books they purchase–and what authors should (and shouldn't) do to play a part in that process.
Monica Valentinelli talks about what it means to write non-fiction for the web versus writing for a print publication like a magazine.
Nebula and Hugo nominated author, Cherie Priest, discusses some of the aspects of authorial control over the publishing process.

The Ghosts of The Victorian Heroic Dead
Little Britain was once a scrambling little district that housed buildings of splendour and dilapidation within its boundary. It is said that its network of narrow streets and courts were home to many apothecaries. I don't know about you but my mind does some fantastical somersaults at the very thought of this!
Sadly today, Little Britain has been reduced to a single street and it is exceedingly mundane in appearance.
However, sitting silently beside it is the rather curious Postman's Park.
Oddly quiet and unpopulated for a City Park even on a sunny day, this appears to be more of a throughway than a spot to sit and enjoy fine weather.
At the heart of the park is a memorial dedicated to "heroic self-sacrifice", a tribute to past Londoners who gave up their lives to save another.
This is certainly one of London's more peculiar parks with its assortment of floral abundance and goldfish pond hemmed in with office blocks and gravestones.
All this aside, I find myself particularly moved by the Memorial which commemorates those ordinary people who died saving the lives of others and might otherwise have been forgotten. London has some wonderful gem's to discover.

Were Most Human Deaths Caused By Religion?
Sometimes when in discussion with atheists or people resisting Christianity, or religion in general you will hear the claim that religion has been the cause of the most human suffering and death in the world. Typically, events like the Crusades, the so-called "witch hunts" and the Inquisition will be trotted out as proof. And many Christians will shrink back or will say something like, "Even so, Christianity as it was espoused by Christ is non-violent." Although it is true that Christianity as espoused by Christ was to be spread not by the sword (as Islam is designed), but by the Word, by mere preaching. But why should we allow the atheist to even use the Crusades and such as evidence in their claim that most human suffering and death has been caused by religion. It plainly is not true.
What I want to do is offer a detailed listing of human death from the 18th century through the 20th century and see if the claim is true. Yes, we'll also look at the Crusades, the witch hunts and the Inquisition.

Estimated 3-4 million
And these wars were supposed to be about bringing "freedom" to civilized men.
War of the Spanish Succession (1701-13)
1 million, 324,300
Yet another non-religious war
As we leave the 1700s don't forget all of the many, many other events -- all non-religious where hairless apes killed other hairless apes.
On to the 19th century...
19th Century Slave Trade
Atlantic slave trade: ca. 1.6M transported and 2.5M deaths.
Islamic slave trade: ca. 2M transported and 3M died.
Venezuela, power struggles (1830-1903)
1 million
Colonial El Niño Famines (1876-1900)
31-61 million
American Civil War (1861-65)
Over 600,000
Paraguay, War of the Triple Alliance (1864-70)
Over 1 million or more than 80% of its population
Maybe it gets better when we get to the 20th century??? I mean, mankind becomes so much more advanced....well at least advanced at killing each other.
WWI (1914-18)= 15 million (half of that is non-military death) and this is a low estimate
Russian Civil War (1917-22) = 9 million
Soviet Union, Stalin's regime (1924-53) = 20-51 million (the Soviets were decidedly "atheistic", right?)
WWII (1937-45) = 55 million (yet another non-religious war)
Post-War Expulsion of Germans from East Europe (1945-47) = 2 million, 100,000
Chinese Civil War (1945-49) = 2 million, 500,000 (another not so "civil" war)
People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong's regime (1949-1975) = 40 million (again an "atheist" thing)
Tibet (1950 et seq.) = 600,000 (China imposing "atheism" on others)
Korean War (1950-53) = 2 million, 800,000
North Korea (1948 et seq.) = 1 million, 663,000 (not even warring, just imposing "atheism" on its own people)
Rwanda and Burundi (1959-95) = 1 million 350,000
Second Indochina War [including Vietnam] (1960-75) = 3 million, 500,000
Ethiopia (1962-92) = 1 million, 400,000
Afghanistan (1979-2001) = 1 million, 800,000 (Soviets trying to impose "atheism" again)
Sudan (1983 et seq.) = 1 million, 900,000 (no more slave trade deaths, so they start killing each other??)
Kinshasa Congo (1998 et seq.) = 3 million 800,000
Shall I go on?
Just to be fair, how about those "Crusades"??? (which in reality was less about Christianity and more about securing wealth) Certainly that had to be the biggest death toll, since according to atheists, most people have died due to "religions". Or how about the "Witch hunts" or the Inquisition? That should really push up the numbers eh?
Crusades (1095-1291) = 1-5 million
Witch Hunts (1400-1800) = est 20-100 thousand
Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834) = est 32 thousand

One of the strongest arguments for the accuracy of the Bible is its 100% accuracy in predicting the future. These future predictions are called "prophecies." The Old Testament was written between approximately 1450 BC and 430 BC. During that time, many predictions of the future were recorded in the Bible by God's prophets. Of the events that were to have taken place by now, every one happened just the way they predicted it would. No other "sacred writing" has such perfectly accurate predictions of the future.

I like about the employer
HUD is a part of the federal government, therefore consider government thinking. You stay within the box of the current secretary and do not try to do anything outside of it.
I dislike about the employer
The anxiety that goes along with congress deciding to extend the budget so we could work. I also disliked when in the middle of a term the secretary leaves and a new appointee comes in...a shift in management!

Fashion Week Round Up S/S12: Ice Cream Sundae
This season indulged our sweet tooth with candy shades and sugary prints, as spotted by Dazed's Senior Fashion Editor Katie Shillingford
Pistachio, mint choc chip, strawberry, lemon, raspberry ripple- all of our favourite ice cream flavours infiltrated the catwalk for Spring Summer 2012. Mulberry actually served ice-cream before their show and when visiting the new Topshop collection yesterday they served delicious sorbets too, but across London, Milan and Paris a portion of soft pastels and candy colours were served within many of the summer collections.
Meadham Kirchhoff's offering took sickly sweet to another level - their girls looked like they'd had ice creams splattered into their hair. We loved the sugary pastel palette with a cheeky, naughty but nice twist. Mulberry created dress versions of a Twister ice-lolly along with matching minty streak in very bouffant hair. Jonathan Saunders also offered a colour palette good enough to eat but this time the candy colours took their shape in the form of pretty prints emblazoned onto 50s skirts and dresses; whilst graphic flames burnt up from underneath dresses and skirts on Prada's pastels. An array of ice cream sundaes were seen also at Valentino in lace, McQueen with matching gimp masks, Rochas with 50s cat eyes shades and head-scarves and Viktor and Rolf an entire ice-cream sundae Swarovski crusted gown. Paris fashion week's finale was a carrousel of candy coloured delights at Louis Vuitton- the cherry on top!

Karl Lagerfeld Talks Kim Kardashian's Influence on Fashion
"You don't have to be super slim and very tall to be beautiful."
Yesterday, Karl Lagerfeld made his debut on Kim Kardashian's mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, WWD reports. The designer also weighed in on Kardashian's influence and the ubiquity of her family: "Kim's contribution to beauty and fashion . . . is the fact that you don't have to be super slim and very tall to be beautiful," said Lagerfeld, according to Page Six. "I like her mother a lot and I adore her little half-sister Kendall. I don't know the rest of this astonishing family."

"Shame makes the world go around"
- Morrissey
Afghanistan. Iraq. Pakistan. Libya … Who will be next in the Anglo-American quest for Full Spectrum Dominance? Jonathan Evans, the head of Britain's intelligence agency MI5, alleged that "Somalia has become the next destination after Pakistan for terrorist training due to the presence of al-Shabaab, an extremist group with links to al-Qa'ida."1 "This region could become the next big conflict for the [Ministry of Defence]," officials were quoted as saying in November 2011.2
The fact that the British press can make statements such as "Until now, the Shebab [sic] … has thrived through the very fact that the rest of the world has left Somalia to its own devices", should reduce readers to an aching belly-laugh. The fact that such statements can appear without utter ridicule is an example of how well indoctrinated most Britons are. Since special forces began funding, arming, and training the Ethiopian-based Transitional Federal Government (TFG) back in 2004, Britain has been the cause of much of Somalia's grief, which dates back to the days of Empire.3
Somalia is in such a precarious humanitarian situation, thanks largely to UK foreign policies initiated under the New Labour Government, that any military action will exacerbate the suffering of millions of people, and may well lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. A month after the plan of attack was announced in the British press, the Red Cross reported that it "has distributed beans, rice and oil to over 917,000 people in southern and central Somalia," meaning that at least one million people are dependent on food aid delivered by NGOs. Any bombing could drive out the NGOs.4 This fact, vastly more important than any alleged terror threat, was not reported.
Al-Shabaab is the armed youth wing of the Islamic Courts Union.
A Somali father with his family.
Since 9/11, there has been tried-and-tested methodology: claim that any country we wish to attack has links with "al-Qaeda." A free media would ask questions, such as: where did al-Shabaab come from? Al-Shabaab is the armed youth wing of the Islamic Courts Union. The Islamic Courts Union (ICU) was the government of Somalia which emerged from the wreckage of the Civil War. Despite media propaganda about the abuse of women and the imposition of Sharia Law, US Congressional sources confirmed that the Islamic Courts Union was in fact running a social welfare programme, and that Western accusations of human rights abuses were lies.
The ICU was destroyed in 2007-08 by the UK-trained, armed, and backed Transitional Federal Government (TFG) which invaded Somalia in 2006. Millions of people were already on the brink of starvation. Because of the TFG's well-documented record of appalling human rights abuses, over one million Somalis fled Mogadishu. Many seek refuge in Kenya, where UK-armed and trained forces rape and extort the women. Tens of thousands of other Somali refugees flee across the Gulf of Aden to Yemen each year, where they face the mercy of UK-armed and trained Yemeni forces, which committed atrocities against Yemenis during the Arab Spring.5
Yemen's President Saleh agreed to Euro-American economic reforms back in 1997, so Britain has done everything it can to support him, despite public calls for his removal (an example of something we call "democracy"). Libya's Gaddafi and Syria's Assad, on the other hand, did not agree to economic liberalisation, with obvious consequences.
Returning to Somalia, as we shall see, the leadership of the ICU-offshoot, al-Shabaab, has links with the CIA and MI6 which date back to the 1980s—leadership must be stressed, because the ICU (from which al-Shabaab emerged) was not extremist, according to US State Department officials. Before examining those links, it is perhaps useful to examine who and what is driving UK foreign policy in Somalia, and in the world generally.
Oil, Money, and Arms
In 2009-10, Chatham House hosted the Rethinking the UK's International Ambitions and Choices project, which was funded by BAE Systems, Barclays, and BP—oil, money, and arms. One of the core reports, "Organizing for Influence", became the basis of the UK's National Security Strategy (NSS) and Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR, both published in 2010). The National Security Strategy reiterated that "The security of our energy supplies increasingly depends on fossil fuels located in some of the most unstable parts of the planet."6
Likewise, the Strategic Defence and Security Review stated that "The UK faces a range of risks related to our ability to access secure, diverse and affordable supplies of energy."7 Notice that even though the resources are located in other countries (despite the UK's own vast North Sea reserves), they are "our" resources.
Somalia's strategic position on the Gulf of Aden is of prime importance to oil and arms companies. According to Chatham House specialist Roger Middleton, "Some 16,000 ships a year pass through the Gulf of Aden, carrying oil from the Middle East and goods from Asia to Europe and North America." He added that "one of the most important trade routes in the world is now threatened by the chronic instability in Somalia"—neglecting to add that the UK caused much of the "instability" (a polite word for one million refugees and nearly four million on the brink of starvation).8
Somalia and the Gulf of Aden
Likewise, the US Department of Transportation lamented that "Over 80 percent of international maritime trade moving through the Gulf of Aden is with Europe." Somali piracy, which House of Lords and Select Committee documents admit have replenished fish stocks depleted by European vessels, threaten this international trade.9
Abdullahi Yusuf, "the West's favorite warlord," TFG president from 2004-2008, (s)elected to his post by the TFG Parliament. The Transportation Department added that "[re-] routing from Europe to the Far East via the Cape of Good Hope, rather than through the Suez Canal," in order to avoid the pirates, "would incur an estimated additional $89 million annually, which includes $74.4 million in fuel and $14.6 million in charter expenses"—a figure so slight for multibillion dollar international oil companies that it falls within a statistical error of their annual profits.10 This is apparently more important than making sure that starving people have enough fish to eat.
Somalia also has oil and gas reserves within its borders, coveted by international energy companies, including BP: the sponsor of key documents shaping British foreign policy. According to Range Resources Ltd chief, Mike Povey, Puntland, one of the more "stable" areas of Somalia once controlled by the West's favourite warlord, Abdullahi Yusuf,
"... is believed to have all the geological requirements to become a commercial oil-producing region. Somalia, and in particular Puntland remains one of the last under-explored countries that has a high potential for considerable reserves of hydrocarbons. … This view was further reinforced in the mid 1980's following the successful exploration efforts of Hunt Oil Corp across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen … Several major oil companies obtained exploration concessions and conducted considerable exploration and drilling over large parts of the State both onshore and offshore during the late 1980's and early 90's. These companies included AGIP, Shell (Pecten), Conoco, Phillips and Amoco." (Emphases in original).11
Amoco became part of BP following a £67 billion merger which "create[d] Britain's biggest company."12 Despite massive resistance from Somalis, mostly non-violent, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) has been backed to the hilt by international organisations without any input from Somalis. In 2011, the International Crisis Group authored a report titled "Somalia: The Transitional Government on Life Support", which whitewashed the TFG's atrocities, and for obvious reasons:
The International Crisis Group is funded by the following organisations (to pick just some): Anglo-American PLC (accused of complicity in the Congo Genocide by the UN); Chevron (which has resource interests in Somalia); Shell; Talisman Energy; and, on the President's Council sit executives from Statoil ASA.

On the International Crisis Group's Board of Trustees sit Britain's former Foreign Office Minister for Africa Mark Malloch-Brown (who was confronted on-camera by journalist Aden Hartley over his staunch support for the TFG); Lord Chris Patten (former UK Cabinet Minister); George Soros; Wesley Clark (former NATO commander who oversaw the assault on Serbia in 1999); Louise Arbour (former Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia who refused to hear evidence of NATO crimes in Serbia); Sandy Berger (former US National Security Advisor who oversaw the atrocities in East Timor in 1999); and Gareth Evans (former Australian Foreign Minister who signed away the rights of East Timor's resources to Australia with his Indonesian counterpart in the 1980s).
This coterie of war criminals and human rights abusers decreed that:
The Transitional Federal Government shall have authority throughout the Somali Republic over the following matters:
Confirming the International Crisis Group's annoyance that the TFG could not establish itself thoroughly in Somalia, Reuters reported that
"BP and Shell insist that their [Somalia] exploration contracts from the 1980s are still valid. Conoco, Chevron and ENI declined to comment, but industry sources said they also probably had similar claims. Although the contracts typically spanned only a few years, BP and Shell say the civil war forced them to declare "force majeure", a term that effectively stops the clock on the contract but keeps it intact."14
Because the TFG was not powerful enough to impose a socioeconomic order favourable to Western businesses, the UK Ministry of Defence has been called in by its arms and energy company paymasters to intervene. This general global position was explained by Britain's First Sea Lord Admiral Stanhope, whom, in 2009, said that Britain's role in the world is "wielding a big stick … [to] compel others to act in a desired manner."15
The situation with the TFG is not unprecedented. During the 1990s, US companies (with UK complicity) were paying the Taliban to build a pipeline from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan and on into Pakistan. The Taliban failed, and thus were disposed of by November 2001. (Why they regrouped during the decade of Anglo-American occupation is another story).16
The authors of "Organizing for Influence" (the BP-funded study which became the basis for the NSS and SDSR) acknowledged that "Voters [in the UK] will not actively call for a more effective foreign policy", therefore "The government should define its international mission as managing global risks on behalf of British citizens." In other words, deceive the public into acquiescing to foreign policy decisions in another example of elite hatred of democracy.17
This was confirmed by the Ministry of Defence in 2010, which wrote that out to 2040,
"Military operations are likely to continue to result in casualties and face the challenge of demonstrating legitimacy to skeptical public audiences. Influence activity, the battle of ideas, and perceptions of moral legitimacy will be important for success." That's why the West had to "perceive" that the NATO destruction of Libya and the killing of 30,000 people was a humanitarian intervention. "Concepts of casualty acceptance and aversion are likely to remain linked to perceptions of the legitimacy of the conflict." (Emphases in original).18
There are lies, damn lies, and then there's "al-Qaeda"
One surefire way to rally public support for attacking an utterly defenceless country is to claim that the people you are attacking are linked to "al-Qaeda." Given that the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group thugs who destroyed Libya with British-backing ended up flying an "al-Qaeda" flag over the Benghazi Court after Gaddafi's murder, any effort to claim that a UK attack on Somalia would have anything to do with countering "al-Qaeda" would be pure, cynical farce, as would any claim of "humanitarian intervention."
Prime Minister David Cameron's "decision to tackle the Somalia quagmire is seen by some as being fuelled by the success of the Libyan venture," apologist Kim Sengupta wrote in the supposedly "leftwing" Independent.
"The would-be jihadists are not just of Somali background, but include those from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Yemen and north Africa resident in Britain. 'There is a real risk,' Mr. Evans [MI5's Jonathan Evans] stressed, 'that returnees from Somalia could carry out bomb attacks in British cities'."19
Perhaps the most salient example of the farce is that just months before Evans's statement, the head of UK counter-terrorism, Campbell McCafferty, told a Foreign Affairs Committee the following:
"There has not been any evidence of a link between the pirates and al-Shabab … [but] that link to terrorism would change entirely the international community's view … If we could get intelligence that allowed us to take out that crossover [between pirates and terrorism], then you might well start to have an impact on both terrorism and piracy. … I think people are looking hard for those links." (Emphases added).20
The inference is that if no links exist, they must be created. A couple of months after these unreported revelations, People newspaper claimed that "Fanatics from the [al-Shabaab] group were responsible for 21/7, the botched plot to set off bombs in London in 2005."21 There's just one thing wrong with this analysis: al-Shabaab didn't even exist in 2005, so already we're getting spurious (even embarrassing) media accusations.
"Al-Shabaab was not active and did not control any territory in Somalia until 2007-2008," a US Congress report reads. "The Ethiopian invasion and the ouster of the [Islamic Courts Union] … contributed to the emergence of a strong resistance movement"—resisting the TFG. The August 2011 Congress report also states that "Al-Shabaab recruitment among the Somali Diaspora seems to be declining due to increased law enforcement monitoring and also growing anti-Shabaab sentiment," concluding that "In late September 2010, Al-Shabaab lost many fighters infighting and retreated from some areas it had firm control in the past."22
These statements waylay Telegraph lies from July 2010 that "al Shebab [sic] has been allowed to become much more powerful and extreme than it used to be," quoting Rashid Abdi, "a Naroibi-based Somali expert with the International Crisis Group"—the very energy and arms-funded organisation writing policy papers for the TFG! (The Telegraph article failed to mention that). The article added that "Such fears are shared by British police, who claim to have detected evidence of Shebab [sic] funding networks within the [UK's] 100,000-strong Somali community." Providing no evidence, the claim is a pathetic effort to demonise British Somalis by association, which the Congress report (cited above) contradicts.23
Another example of the farce is Kim Sengupta's mention of alleged links with terrorists in Pakistan. Former Chatham House Fellow Mark Curtis's seminal book Secret Affairs (2010, London: Serpent's Tail) copiously documents Britain's long-time collusion with Pakistani terrorists. As for Sengupta's mention of Bangladesh, Britain has been committing its own terrorism in the country for nearly a decade:
The Metropolitan Police, which has made unfounded allegations of support for al-Shabaab among British Somalis, has, since 2004, been training a Bangladeshi death squad, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), which by 2006 had murdered 700 people (mostly political opponents). During the build-up to the "humanitarian" destruction of Libya, Amnesty International published a letter condemning Britain's involvement with RAB. According to Human Rights Watch, "RAB's torture methods include beatings with batons on the soles of the feet and other parts of the body, boring holes with electric drills, and applying electric shock."24 UK atrocities in Yemen, Sengupta's other country of concern, have also been documented.25
Perhaps the mother of all farces, however, is the People newspaper allegation that al-Shabaab (which didn't even exist at the time) was involved in the failed plot to blow up the London transportation system on 21 July 2005, following the July 7 outrage. It transpired that the actual ringleader, Haroon Rashid Aswat (an ethnic Pakistani), is an MI6 agent:
According to FBI agent John Loftus, this has caused a minor spat between MI6 and the CIA because MI6 will not extradite Aswat to the US where he is wanted on suspicion of setting up terror training camps. Even more amazingly, Loftus made the extraordinary claim that the Muhajiroun organisation has been recruiting terrorists to fight in Somalia:26 British Parliamentary sources confirm "at the time of al-Muhajiroun's founding in 1996, the network was mobilized by MI6 to send British Muslims to Kosovo - coinciding with British and American military assistance to the Kosovan Albanians." In other words, the Somali "terrorists" are more than likely double agents.27
It also transpired that one of al-Shabaab's alleged members, Ahmed Abdi Godane (also known as Abu Zubayr), joined al-Itihad al Islamiya in the 1990s. According to the US State Department, cited by the Critical Threats think-tank (which is funded by the American Enterprise Institute):
"Al Ittihad al Islamiya (AIAI) was an Islamist militant group founded by Somali Salafis in the 1980s. Many of its fighters trained with al Qaeda in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation, and returned to Somalia after the war. The group emerged as a prominent actor following the collapse of [Somalia President] Siad Barre's regime in 1991 and sought to create an Islamic state in Somalia. Although the exact start and extent of the relationship is unclear, al Qaeda began providing AIAI with direct financial and tactical support in the early 1990s."28
The 1980s was the decade during which the CIA, SAS and MI6 were training Arab fighters from Yemen, Libya, and mainly Saudi Arabia with the intent of "drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap" by creating "a few stirred-up Moslems", in the words of Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Britain also supplied the "stirred-up Moslems" with Stinger missiles and rifles (Stephen Dorril, MI6, London: Fourth State). These terrorists were called the Mujahideen ("freedom fighters").29
"Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA [and MI6] to defeat the Russians," former UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook informed the Guardian.30 Shortly afterwards, he died of a heart attack.
Returning to Somalia, as late as 2010, a Mr. Hanson told the British Parliament that "we cannot comment directly on intelligence matters, but I have made an assessment … that there is a small but genuine risk [to] British nationals", adding that "British interests may be harmed as a result of al-Shabaab's activities in Somalia and, indeed, in the wider region."31 [31] In response, Dari Taylor (Labour MP) made this astonishing statement:
"If there is no evidence that this organisation, al-Shabaab, exists or is behaving in a way that is causing serious concern, some in our community—with some justice—will be concerned that the Government are exaggerating the existence of terrorist threat in this country." (emphases added)
... but as Campbell McCafferty inferred, links to terrorism have to be actively sought.32
According to the respected journal, Terrorism Monitor, the idea that "al-Qaeda" could even operate in and from Somalia is highly questionable. "Lack of infrastructure and modern communications will inhibit rather than enhance international operations based in Somalia", one study found, adding that "The prevailing xenophobia of many Somalis does not offer the same sort of welcome and refuge al-Qaeda found in the Pashtun areas of Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan," which are well infiltrated by SAS-MI6 agents. "Southern Somalia also offers a possible trap for global jihadis, as seen from the experience of the ICU [Islamic Courts Union] in December 2006."33
It should be obvious by now that any time British and American oil and finance companies want to attack a country for financial gain, they simply get the CIA and MI6 to call on their old Mujahideen friends—"al-Qaeda"—to travel around and blow up buildings in order to justify wars, be it wars on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, or Somalia. If—if—there is a terrorist attack on London in time for the London Olympics, we can be sure that it won't be al-Shabaab: it will more than likely be the organisation with the world's longest record of terrorism, MI6.
