Tom (TE) says- As the Europeans are well aware, air power -- given the civilian casualties that invariably follow in its wake -- is intensely counterproductive in a guerrilla war. "Every civilian dead means five new Taliban," was the way a British officer just returned from Helmand Province put it recently.

However, an air-power strategy fits American predilections to a tee. As a Reuters piece aptly headlined the matter, the Americans in Afghanistan are "hooked on air power." Americans have long been so. After all, with the singular exception of various Central American proxy wars during the Reagan years, air war has essentially been the American way of war since World War II.

Tomgram: Carnage from the Air and the Washington Consensus

[Note to Tomdispatch readers: After a July 4th break, Tomdispatch is back -- with a favor to ask. In addition to everyone who bookmarks Tomdispatch, 18,000 of you now get e-mails letting you know whenever a new piece has been posted. (Many tens of thousands more read pieces from the site reposted elsewhere.) Most new readers sign up for those emails thanks to word of mouth, a formidable force in the on-line world. For those of you who already are hooked on TD, I wanted to urge you to lend the site a word-of-mouth hand (if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor). Why not write perhaps 10 people you know who might benefit from getting Tomdispatch regularly, urging them to go to the "sign up" window at the upper right of the main screen, put in their e-mail addresses, answer the confirmation letter that will quickly arrive in their in-boxes, and so join the TD crew. For those of you with a few extra minutes, who are willing to spread the word, my thanks in advance. Tom]

John Urry on Global Complexity, Human Rights & Cognitive Liberty

NEW CITIZENSHIPS

Thus globalisation seems to involve some weakening of the power of the social and a corresponding development of ‘post-national’ citizenship (Rose 1996). Soysal argues that national citizenship is losing ground to a more universal model of membership located within an increasingly de-territorialised notion of a person’s more universal rights (1994: 3; Bauböck 1994). This post-national citizenship is especially connected with the growth of guest-working across many societies, greater global interdependence, increasingly overlapping memberships of different kinds of citizenship, and the emergence of universalistic rules and conceptions regarding human rights formalised by international codes and laws (such as the UN, UNESCO, ILO, EU, Council of Europe, Geneva Conventions, European Human Rights Convention and so on). Overall Soysal suggests an increasing contradiction between rights, which are universal, uniform and globally defined, and social identities, which are particularistic and territorially specified (1994).

Conference Program - Mobilities, Space, and Inequality, Basle 2007 14 May 2007

Mobilities, Space, and Inequality.

IV. Cosmobilities Network Meeting in Basle, 7.-8.9.2007

The social arrangements of space and social inequality have always formed intriguing associations, yet the dynamics introduced by modernization, globalization, migration, and social change in relation to space and inequality have not received sufficient attention in the social sciences. Developments in communication and transport technologies are offering new possibilities of social arrangements and inequality structures in time and space. As a result, new spatial settings and functional overlappings are possible, e.g. working from home, travel time as working time, long distance relationships, etc. Accordingly, spatial mobility constitutes a number of different types of mobility. Of interest are not only the different types of mobility but also their relations to each other, as well as to social inequality structures and their dynamics more generally.

The conference program and paper abstracts are online now.

The Venue
The conference takes place in Basle at the Departement of Sociology at Basle University. For further information, including online registration, rail and airport connection, please visit the conference website: http://soziologie.unibas.ch/cosmobilities/index.htm

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy

Megalithic legacy Neolithic conf. in Malta 3-11 November 2007


what?
Conference, tour, and workshops:
On approaches to understanding the origins of our megalithic legacy
The Caraffa Stores, Birgu, Island of Malta
3rd - 11th November 2007
http://www.metageum.org/



Metageum '07: This week-long event comprises three threads centred on the theme of understanding the consciousness of the people who built the megalithic temples::

* Conference: An international, inter-disciplinary conference on different ways of approaching the thinking and imagination of the Neolithic people who built the megalithic temples in Malta and elsewhere in the world.
* Workshops: A series of experiential workshops enabling us to make the imaginative leap into the Neolithic worldview.
* Tour: A tour of Malta's megalithic heritage.

It takes place on the Vittoriosa Waterfront on the Mediterranean island of Malta, an island noted for its exceptional legacy of prehistoric temples.

Presenters

Paul Devereux


Erik Davis

Benny Shanon



Prospective webcast: Glastonbury Radio is hoping to broadcast the event live on the internet, and is currently seeking commercial sponsors to make this happen. Glastonbury Radio's live webcast of the Megalithomania conference in Glastonbury (19th-20th May) proved to be very popular with the online radio audience.

erik davis reports on Bardo Theory: Costa Rica "Mind" conf. PKDick

Erik Davis Reports
It seems as if all those Philip K. Dick novels were coming home to roost, and if the rest of the journey was more of your typical commercial airline hell, it remained permeated with the woozy disorientation caused by mistaken identity and the arbitrariness of the archons who rule these transit zones.

It may also be one of the most useful. Early in Waking Life, the Ethan Hawke character quotes Timothy Leary to the effect that, even if nothing of us survives death, the last few minutes of the brain's electrical activity may be experienced by the dying person as an entire life racing in time-lapse—or, as the film itself suggests, a nearly infinite labyrinth of dreams. From this perspective, the traditional teachings of bardo navigation may come in handy despite the basic reality of brain-death: even if we are only riding that last wave to flatline, it pays to know how to surf.

The Iraqi Tribunal Charade --the complicit Media Plays Along

Barry Lando: It's understandable that there's been no mention in the Baghdad courtroom of foreign complicity with Saddam’s crimes. What is surprising, though, is how thoroughly the American media have played along with that charade.

1-3:30 AM Candace Pert Ph.D. "To Feel "Go(o)d: The Science and Spirit of
Bliss"
Bliss Is Your Biological Birthright - Are You Ready to Claim It?

To Dr. Candace Pert, 'feeling good' and 'feeling God' are one in the
same. You may be surprised to hear a world-renowned biophysicist
talking about God, yet Candace Pert is on the vanguard of a new breed of
scientists who fearlessly explore the territory where science and spirit
meet. On 'To Feel Go(o)d' Dr. Pert reveals that you are biologically
'hardwired for bliss' - all you need to do is tap your own body's
unlimited natural capacity for living in joy and connecting to the
divine. Join her on this new original audio to learn about:

+The biophysics of pleasure: How to get the most out of your body's
neurological capacity for ecstasy.
+ Forgiveness and you biology - why this powerful act can transfigure
and heal you at a cellular level.
+ What makes us feel bad? Simple changes that will eliminate obstacles
to your happiness.
+ How trauma is stored in the body, and strategies you can use to
release it.
+ Can science find God? A researcher's perspective on the universal
binding force of love, and more.

Since her appearance in 'What the Bleep Do We Know?' Candace Pert has
heard one question repeated again and again: 'How do I feel good in my
life?' With 'To Feel Go(o)d', this cutting-edge researcher and
spiritual philosopher brings you her insights on what you can do to
transcend transitory sensations of joy or pleasure - and inherit the
blissful union with God that is your evolutionary birthright.

Candace Pert, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized psycopharmacologist
and leading edge researcher, best known as the co-discoverer of the of
the 'pleasure' (or opiate) receptor and for her groundbreaking theories
on neuropeptides, consciousness, and reality. She is the author of
'Molecules of Emotion: The Science of Bodymind Medicine' and 'Everything
You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d' has published over 250 articles in
peer-reviewed journal, and was a featured scientist in the film 'What
the Bleep Do We Know?' From Sounds True, 1 (800) 333-9185,

Christopher Hitchens on the Essential Stupidity of Religion

wow! My count is now up to 8 of anti-"Religion" people! what is going on? A touch of sanity attacking the psychotic monster of Obsolete Religion. Wonderful!

Christopher Hitchens on the Essential Stupidity of Religion

"Many people have been motivated to do grand, good things by faith, but why is that necessary?"

By DWAYNE BOOTH
Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 6:00 pm
(Illustration by Mr. Fish)
He appears equally capable of pissing into your grandmother�s fish tank and beating you at chess: the quasi-omniscient Johnny Rotten of political journo-intellectualism, looking as if he were assembled hastily by sausage makers hoping to fill a suit with all the succulent impropriety of vitriolic yet delectable meats. A man well aware that the shortest distance (and least interesting path) between birth and death is a very straight line, he has the reputation of someone prone to the rich experiences offered by staggering. But contrary to the corroborating promises all but guaranteed by the YouTube versions of himself, Christopher Hitchens was not an as-advertised fucking dickhead asshole bully, much to my dismay.

It was like meeting a clown without his makeup, away from the hysteria of his profession, who appears lovely and handsome and noble, if only because he isn�t trapped in a spotlight at the center of a ludicrous pie fight. CON. HERE


This week Slate is publishing three excerpts from Christopher Hitchens' new book, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.

God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens.If the followers of the prophet Muhammad hoped to put an end to any future "revelations" after the immaculate conception of the Koran, they reckoned without the founder of what is now one of the world's fastest-growing faiths.
http://slate.com/id/2165033/

2. God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist by Victor J Stenger
3. Kathleen Kennedy's
4. Julia Sweeney's One Woman Play and Freedom from Religion Society and Jesus!, Protect me from your Follower's Lawsuit against the US Media, President Bush, US Congress & Senate!

7. The Assault on Reason by Al Gore!
8. The Hoax of Salvation by John Lash!


One of the better reviews on Amazon
Hitchens hits another one out of the park, April 29, 2007 I think Christopher Hitchens is a national - no, make that Global - treasure, and his newest book here only underscores this. To carry on with my baseball metaphor, when Hitchens stepped up to the plate with this book on religion the bases were already loaded: Vonnegut on third, Sam Harris on second, and Richard Dawkins on first. Hitchens knocks 'em all in with one swing of the bat. He cuts through the BS of religion and "faith" better than anybody.
the increasingly publicly-accepted insanity of religion in this, the 21st century. This insanity threatens to bring down all of civilization and, in the case of American fundamentalists in our government with their quivering fingers poised atop the launch buttons of our nuclear weapons, the end of Everything, which religious nut-jobs anticipate with unrestrained glee, so certain they are that they, at least, will be OK in the aftermath. This is just absolutely nuts, and Christopher Hitchens does us all a great service in pointing this out.

Tell your boyfriend next time he around
To buy his own weed and don't wear my shit down

I'd rather him leave you then leave him my draw

When you smoke all my weed man
