The popularity of Holly-weird's & Eastwood's 'American Sniper' [has set new box-office records], suggests that likely a majority of Americans still believe the LIES that Saddam was in cahoots w OLB's AL-CIAeda re: the 9-11 'New Pearl Harbor' event; & really did have WMDs [NOT!].
How the h___ is it that such a long-time blatantly pro WAR, Violence & [way of the] GUN glorifier as Holly-weird, is seen as 'liberal' [ala cruise-missile]. In 2014 - 15 it's the a-historical 'American Sniper'. In 2012 - 13 it was the a-historical pro CIA torture [porn] flick '0-Dark-30'. Marking a Holly-weird tradition that goes back to 'Duke Wayne' type WWII & 'Cowboy vs Injuns' movies since the 1940s.

The main reason for the confederates' attempt at secession, is because they insisted on the 'right' to EXPAND Slavery into the newly seized [from Mexico] territories in the south-west. Lincoln's GOP party of the north 'checked' the south's demands to EXPAND slavery, by insisting that slavery should not EXPAND beyond the traditional southern slave states [aka the confederacy]. Thus w Lincoln taking the office of POTUS in 1861, the south STARTED the Civil War by FIRING on Ft Sumter in April 1861.
But you're right that neither Lincoln NOR his GOP were initially motivated to abolish slavery, & in fact initially had NO intention to do so, Otherwise 'Ole' {dis}Honest Abe would have issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1861 immediately after the south BEGAN the War by Firing on Ft Sumter, NOT 2 yrs later in 1863 [IE: half way thru the war].

Curious how a satyrical 'rag' of a paper w a recent notorious track record of making Bigoted anti-Islamic & even out-right RACIST & Sexist so-called 'satryical' cartoons, gets spun into a 'progressive voice'... NOT!

Cutting the US DoD budget [which nearly = the entire rest of the World's combined] by 1/2 or even 1/3 - 1/4 while reigning in its over-sea military 'adventures' & bases [mainly to control access to the global fossil fuel supply], is IMO far more important than the DoD going 25% renewables in 10yrs [what ever that means- it could mean replacing fossil fuels w so-called 'green' nuke power & then taking the radioactive waste & making DU war-heads & ammo]. FYI: the US' DoD uses 93% of the entire US Govt's fossil fuel allotment = the amount of fuel used by Africa's most populous country, Nigeria, which is also Africa's biggest oil producer & an original OPEC member. Yet the US DoD GHG gas emissions ain't even counted as part of the US total. Thus IMO the DoD 25% renewable meme ain't nothing but 'green-washing.So Is the US' DoD going to order more fuel-efficient F-15s & F-16s, tanks & humvees, etc- all notorious gas guzzlers???
FYI: War is one of the, IF NOT THEE, Biggest environmentally destructive activities, & the US DoD is THEE Biggest War-Monger on Earth today & likely all of History!!!
Thus IMO Paul Jay did well to stick to this point about the need to cut the US DoD's budget in its own right, as well using such a cut to finance a green economic plan / program.

7 Things that Must be Done to Stop 'Islamic' Terrorrism [see @ www.globalresearch.ca/how-to-s... ]:
1} Stop backing Arab Dictators that fund Terrorists [IE: the Saudis]
2} Stop Arming AL-CIAeda / ISIS-IS-ISIL type Terrorists- as tools of 'regime change' against Khaddaffi, Assad, Iran, etc...
3} Stop Imperial Invasions for Arab Oil- FYI: There was NO AL-CIAeda / ISIS in Iraq until after the Bush Jr-Cheney-Rummy gang invaded in 2003!
4} Stop Torturing Muslims at Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, Bahgram & other CIA 'Black Sites', while insisting that 'Torture works' [NOT!] & keeps the US safe [NOT!]
5} Stop Drone Blasting Muslim Civilians at Weddings, Funerals, Out-door Markets, etc...
6} Stop giving carte-blanche OK & shielding Likudniks NO matter what they do vs Palestinians, & find a real solution [NOT a phony BS so-called 'peace-process' to nowhere- ad-infinitum] to the conflict
7} Stop the 9-11 Cover-up [hyping the 'official' 9-11 'conspiracy theory' 'Tall-Tale']- which is the main excuse for this whole phony 'War on Terror' [= 'War on Muslims'] paradigm.
In other word reverse the US' whole current Mid-East foreign policy & stop letting the Saudi-NeoCON-AIPAC nexus dictate US Mid-East foreign policy.

Joe Biden ‘lecturing’ African leaders about corruption is like Hitler lecturing Napoleon about NOT invading Russia! Check out this report by Michael Hudson @ The Real News: ‘The West Looks to Ramp-up Gas Production as Vice President Biden’s SON Named Leader of Ukrainian Gas Company, Burisma’ [@ http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=12186 ]. This report puts this yr’s events in Ukraine in a whole new light. Joe Biden Jr is due to make out like a bandit & literally make a ‘KILLING’ on Ukrainian fracked gas! No wonder Ukraine’s ex Pres who was leaning away from the EU’s IMF’s World Banksters’ & more toward Putin’s Russia for econ aid, was over-thrown by an Obama / Biden regime backed Neo-NAZI coup! Hudson says the Kiev Neo-NAZI regime’s war on eastern Ukraine is as much about protecting Biden Jr’s gas-fracking interests as about keeping them from splitting off & annexing to Russia.
Back to the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey: It was’not Just Garvey & the BPP that J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI / COINTELPRO sought to destroy but every key Black leader in between IE: Elijah Muhamed, Malcolm X, Dr MLK Jr, Kwame’ Toure’ [aka Stokley Carmichael], etc… Malcolm, Martin, Bro Toure’ & the BPP were specifically named as targets to be ‘neutralized’ by Hoover’s COINTELPRO nefarious schemes to ‘Stop the rise of a Black Messiah’. Hoover hired the first Black FBI ‘agent’ specifically to get close to & spy on Garvey.
The fact that Hoover went after Garvey, Malcolm & King w equal fanaticism, confirms what Malcolm said re: the ” Hypocrisy of white supremacists’ ‘Democracy’ ” [including many ‘liberals’]- Garvey & Malcolm talked about Pan African nationalism, separation from the white man & the right to self-defense, while King talked ‘integration’, non-violence, peace & ‘love’- yet Hoover’s COINTELPRO orchestrated the demise of all 3!!!
More on the Black mis-leadership class’ betrayal of men like Garvey. Bob Marley wrote a song w the lyrics “I’ll never forget- Oh No- That they sold Marcus Garvey for rice…” Those lyrics refers to Garvey’s intent to set-up a base in Liberia W.Africa. At the time the Liberian Pres was an Americo Liberian [mulatto?] named Charles D.B. King. Garvey surveyed some land there & even paid a down-payment to buy it.
Then agents of the USG got to King likely telling him that Garvey would stir-up a rebellion among the indigenous Liberians [long oppressed by the Amerigo Liberians- FYI Samuel K Doe was Liberia’s first & likely only non Americo head of state] in a ‘supposed’ [= ‘hypothetical’] bid to take over Liberia. So King sold Garvey out buy selling the very land Garvey paid a down-payment on- to the Firestone Rubber / Tire Corp for a 100 yr lease [ends in 2029] at just 6 cents / acre [The Firestone Rubber plantation = 1,000,000 acres the World’s largest plantation].
Needless to say Firestone Rubber ‘Plantation’ treated the indigenous Liberian workers much like ‘Ole Massa’ on slave plantations- paying them just $30/month & making them live in 1 pm ‘hut-shacks’ after working them from Can’t see in the morning to Can’t see at night.’ But then Firestone learned that the main thing the worker bough w they $30 every month was a 100lb sack of Rice [Liberia was once self-sufficient in rice its main staple food- & grew some the World’s best rice]. So then Firestone decided instead of paying the worker just $300/mon they’d give them a 100 lb sack of stale, non-nutritional, broken-grain RICE that could NOT even be sold on the US market! Thus King [sell-out] Sold Marcus Garvey out to Firestone for RICE!
Turns out that Liberian King [sell-out] was facilitating Firestone Rubber Plantation w kidnapped Africans sold as slave-labor! In fact this led to an international scandal such that King [sell-out] was forced from office in disgrace! Yet the League of Nations [the same league that stood by & let El ‘Douche-bag’ Mussolini vamp on Ethiopia] failed to force the Firestone Rubber Plantation to shut-down operations nor voided &/or truncated Firestone’s 100/yr lease.
