“The Truth in Black and White”: The Kansas City Star Apologizes for History of Racist Coverage
“The Truth in Black and White”: The Kansas City Star Apologizes for History of Racist Coverage paccione .co.uk 1 Views • 4 months ago

In a historic step, The Kansas City Star, one of the most influential newspapers in the Midwest, has apologized for the paper’s racist history. The paper’s top editor, Mike Fannin, admitted the Star and a sister paper had reinforced segregation, Jim Crow laws and redlining, and “robbed an entire community of opportunity, dignity, justice and recognition” with its biased coverage over many decades. We speak with Fannin and Mará Rose Williams, a longtime education writer at the paper who led the effort to examine the newspaper’s coverage of the Black community following the police killing of George Floyd and the nationwide racial justice uprising this year. “Mainstream newspapers across the country, not just The Kansas City Star, have not done a good job of covering the Black community,” says Williams.

Authors for Truth: Christopher James Bonner on paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 4 months ago

The Authors for Truth series provides Prince George’s County residents with opportunities to meet and hear from national authors whose works address social justice issues and promote equality.

"Remaking the Republic" chronicles the various ways African Americans from a wide range of social positions throughout the North attempted to give meaning to American citizenship over the course of the nineteenth century. Examining newspapers, state and national conventions, public protest meetings, legal cases, and fugitive slave rescues, Bonner uncovers a spirited debate about rights and belonging among African Americans, the stakes of which could determine their place in U.S. society and shape the terms of citizenship for all Americans.

Christopher Bonner specializes in African American history and the nineteenth-century United States. "Remaking the Republic," his first book, was published in 2020 by the University of Pennsylvania Press. His work appears most recently in the collection New Perspectives on the Black Intellectual Tradition (Northwestern University Press, 2018). His work appears in digital form at Muster, the blog of the Journal of the Civil War Era and at Black Perspectives, the blog for the African American Intellectual History Society. He was a regular contributor at Black Perspectives from 2014 to 2016. Bonner is an assistant professor in the University of Maryland College Park Department of History. Originally from Chesapeake, VA, he earned his B.A. from Howard University and Ph.D. from Yale University.

The Non-Truth: Accounts of the Indonesian Political Exiles in Europe
The Non-Truth: Accounts of the Indonesian Political Exiles in Europe paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 4 months ago

The Non-Truth: Accounts of the Indonesian Political Exiles in Europe by Dr Soe Tjen Marching was recorded on 25th October 2022. Further details: https://www.soas.ac.uk/about/e....vent/non-truth-accou

This seminar will discuss Indonesian political exiles (in relation to the 1965 genocide in Indonesia) who now reside in Europe. “Truth and reconciliation” have become very important notions in confronting issues relating to manipulated history and human rights abuses in the context of the 1965 genocide. Many activists in Indonesia have emphasised that reconciliation will not take place without recognition of the truth. However, interviews carried out by Dr. Marching concerning the events of 1965 in Indonesia revealed many inconsistencies in respective accounts of the genocide. Does this phenomenon confirm the postmodern theory that "there is no truth"? And if there is no truth, how do we approach the activists’ and survivors’ demands for the truth?

Thursday, October 2, 2003
San Francisco, CA

Co-sponsored by Harper’s Magazine, The Drug Policy Alliance and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley

In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 215, allowing physicians to recommend marijuana for medical purposes. Last October the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that doctors have a constitutional right to discuss marijuana with patients. Refusing to accept the will of the electorate, the federal government is fighting back. In January, prosecutors secured a drug conviction against Ed Rosenthal by suppressing key information at trial that he had been deputized by the City of Oakland to distribute medical marijuana. Upon learning this, the public was outraged and members of the jury disavowed their verdict. However, instead of a possible 60 years, Rosenthal was sentenced to only one day in prison, and a victory was declared for medical marijuana. Not to be discouraged, the Department of Justice has since asked the Supreme Court to allow it to punish doctors who recommend marijuana, and the DEA continues to raid and close down clinics.

Will the federal government stop the use of medical marijuana? Can the American people stop the federal government? What is the truth about the medicinal benefits and social impact of marijuana, and why does the government continue to oppose any and all drug decriminalization? This Independent Policy Forum assembles several of the foremost experts in medicine, drug policy, and journalism to discuss the past, present, and future of medical marijuana and the war on drugs.

ED ROSENTHAL, noted activist and best-selling author, is a key figure in the medical marijuana movement. In 30 years of study and writing, he has become a trusted expert on marijuana use and social policy. He is co-author of the book Why Marijuana Should Be Legal and has written over a dozen other books on the subject. Mr. Rosenthal presents a clear and concise analysis of the effects of marijuana and marijuana laws on society.

DONALD I. ABRAMS, M.D., is Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of California st San Francisco and one of the leading researchers of medical marijuana. He is also Assistant Director of the AIDS Program at San Francisco General Hospital and since 1981 has been involved in several landmark studies on HIV and AIDS. He has conducted clinical trials of marijuana since 1997, with grants from the National Institute of Health.

EDWIN DOBB is Contributing Editor at Harper's magazine. His writings on civil liberties have been published in Harper's, Amnesty Now and San Francisco magazine. He was formerly Senior Editor of The Sciences, writes for the New York Times Magazine and is a visiting lecturer for the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley.

ROBERT J. MacCOUN is Professor of Law and Public Policy at the Richard and Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and is co-author of the book Drug War Heresies. He was formerly a behavioral scientist at the Institute for Civil Justice and the Drug Policy Research Center at the RAND Corporation. He is one of the world's foremost experts on drug policy.

Henry VIII Anne of Cleves Married at First Sight!
Henry VIII Anne of Cleves Married at First Sight! paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 4 months ago

The Tudors King required a new marriage and Queen. Hans Holbein had been sent across the royal courts of Europe to paint a good likeness of potential ladies for Henry VIII. Many of the women were disinterested in Henry due to his colourful marital background. It was around now that Anne of Cleves made her first appearance. Her portrait is pleasant and appealing except to one man, the man that matters most, Henry! So why did Henry marry Anne at first sight? Was it purely based on Cromwell's determination to provide new alliances in Europe to strengthen the English say in matters, or was it simply Holbein's portrait and Henry's first view of his new bride the cause behind one of the most daring matchups in Tudor times?

Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy: A Critical Examination | Johan Farkas
Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy: A Critical Examination | Johan Farkas paccione .co.uk 3 Views • 4 months ago

Welcome to Goto 10 for a thought-provoking talk about what democracy is all about in an age of fake news and post-truth. Based on recent research, Johan Farkas urges for the need to make space for popular dispute, difference and agonistic confrontations to uphold democratic traditions and institutions.

Democracies are currently under siege, as fake news are flooding social media and post-truth sentiments roam throughout society. This dystopian narrative has come to dominate political agendas across the globe. To save democracy – a number of voices argue – radical measures are needed. Indeed, for many, truth must be restored at all cost. In this talk, Johan Farkas critically examines contemporary post-truth discourses by honing in on and challenging their democratic underpinnings.

Through extensive analyses of scholarly and journalistic publications, the talk unpacks how post-truth discourses presuppose a certain normative idea of what democracy is and ought to be. Not only is democracy configured as a static construct in these discourses, it is also equated very narrowly with evidence-based decision-making and truth-telling practices. Engaging with critical political philosophy, Farkas highlights how these democratic imaginaries neglect how democracy has never been about truth, evidence and rationality alone. It is equally about the voice of the democratic people. By neglecting this cornerstone of the democratic tradition, post-truth discourses reproduce and strengthen a risky vision of democracy – one in which consensus and rationality dominate over civic voices and popular dispute. By doing so, contemporary post-truth discourses – and the solutions they contain – might end up deepening existing democratic problems.

What we need now – perhaps more than ever – is not simply more truth, but more politics proper. We need to fortify our democratic institutions by once again making space for popular dispute, difference and agonistic confrontations.

The talk is based Farkas’ new book, Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy: Mapping the Politics of Falsehood, written with Jannick Schou and published by Routledge:

The Truth Behind Australia’s Economic Recovery with Ken Raiss [PODCAST]
The Truth Behind Australia’s Economic Recovery with Ken Raiss [PODCAST] paccione .co.uk 7 Views • 4 months ago

What a year it’s been.

This time last year Australia was heading into its first recession and deepest recession in decades.

Yet last week the Australian Bureau of Statistics confirmed the strength of Australia’s economic rebound. It was the fastest economic recovery from a recession in 45 years.

In fact, we are one of only three countries where our economy is ahead of where it was at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, but today can race and I unpack the statistics and explain what’s going on – the truth behind Australia’s economic recovery.

But don’t worry if you’re not into economics, my chat today with Ken Raiss, Australia’s leading property tax strategist, will be in plain English and we’ll unpack what’s going on so you understand what’s ahead- both the good and some of the headwinds that may slow us down, so that you’ll be able to make a better-informed investment, and financial, and business decisions.

What you’ll be hearing today is a portion of a private webinar we conducted for the attendees of Wealth Retreat to give them some insight before they join us, and while you won’t be able to see the slides, I’m sure our description will be sufficient for you to get benefit from our chat.

Australia’s impressive economic recovery from the COVID-19 recession was confirmed with the strong 1.8 percent rise in March quarter GDP.

This followed unprecedented growth of 3.2 percent in the December quarter and 3.5 percent in the September quarter of 2020.

Our economic output is now higher than it was before the COVID-19 recession hit, with easy monetary policy, booming commodity prices, demand for resources from the rampant Chinese economy, and fiscal policy stimulus all playing a part.

Back in the first three months of this year when we had JobKeeper, enhanced unemployment benefits, and no lockdowns and Australia roared out of recession.

The GDP figures released at the beginning of June, which were for the first quarter of the year up til the end of March were for the months leading up to the end of JobKeeper.

Australians spent, earned, and produced an impressive 1.8%  more than in three months to December, which was itself more 3.2% more than the three months to September, which was itself 3.5% more than the three months before that.

Our growth of more than 8% was the most over three quarters since 1968.

But it followed a collapse in gross domestic product of 7% – by far the worst since the Bureau of Statistics began compiling records in 1959.

The net result over the year to March growth of 1.1%, an extraordinary result which means that, at least until Victoria’s (just extended) lockdown, we were producing, earning, and spending more than before the COVID recession.

I today’s podcast Ken and I discuss:

• what GDP is and why so much fuss is made about it
• Why I think that having a single overriding ‘economic’ health measure such as GDP is flawed
• What’s happening to unemployment, job growth, business, and private expenditure.

Here are 7 reasons to be optimistic about the future.

• Covid vaccines will help in underpinning reopening and recovery
• Global growth is recovering rapidly — driven by vaccines enabling reopening, monetary and fiscal stimulus, and pent-up demand.
• Growth in consumer spending is well supported
• Dwelling investment will provide a strong contribution to growth — the surge in building approvals points to more upside in housing construction this year.
• Business investment is strengthening - — investment plans for the next financial year are up nearly 15% on plans for a year ago which is consistent with high levels of business confidence, excess corporate cash, and the instant asset write-off tax break.
• Fiscal stimulus will continue
• Monetary policy will remain easy
However, there are some headwinds.

Economic growth should continue this year and then could slow next year as some headwinds are revealed, the effects of the fiscal measures start to fade, and the housing market slows down a little.

• further coronavirus outbreaks
• economic ramifications of the international border closure,
• the potential for further lockdowns due to the slow vaccine rollout, and
• the geopolitical risks emanating from Australia’s “strained” relationship with China.
