ZeroHedge | author | 10/17/16

America at War with Itself by Henry A. Giroux

From poisoned water and police violence in our cities, to gun massacres and hate-mongering on the presidential campaign trail, evidence that America is at war with itself is everywhere around us. The question is not whether or not it's happening, but how to understand the forces at work in order to prevent conditions from getting worse. Henry A. Giroux offers a powerful, far-reaching critique of the economic interests, cultural dimensions, and political dynamics involved in the nation's shift toward increasingly abusive forms of power. His analysis helps us to frame critical questions about what can and should be done to turn things around while we can.

Reflecting on a wide range of social issues, Giroux contrasts Donald Trump's America with Sandra Bland's to understand who really benefits from politically fueled intolerance for immigrants, communities of color, Muslims, low-income families, and those who challenge state and corporate power. A passionate advocate for civil rights and the importance of the imagination, Giroux argues that only through widespread social investment in democracy and education can the common good hope to prevail over the increasingly concentrated influence of extreme right-wing politicians and self-serving economic interests.

Praise for America at War with Itself:
"This is the book Americans need to read now. No one is better than Henry Giroux at analyzing the truly dangerous threats to our society. He punctures our delusions and offers us a compelling and enlightened vision of a better way. America at War with Itself is the best book of the year."--Bob Herbert, Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and former Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times

"In this current era of corporate media misdirection and misinformation, America at War with Itself is a must read for all Americans, especially young people. Henry Giroux is one of the few great political voices of today, with powerful insight into the truth. Dr. Giroux is defiantly explaining, against the grain, what's REALLY going on right now, and doing so quite undeniably. Simply put, the ideas he brings forth are a beacon that need to be seen and heard and understood in order for the world to progress."--Julian Casablancas

WikiLeaks Releases Hillary Clinton's Goldman Sachs Speeches
HP & Reuters | author | 10/15/16

Clinton has been criticized for not revealing details of her paid speeches before big business.

The documents showed comments by Clinton during question-and-answer sessions with Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and Tim O'Neill, the bank's head of investment management, at three separate events in 2013 in Arizona, New York and South Carolina.

Some excerpts of Clinton's speeches had already been released. For more than a week, Wikileaks has published in stages what it says are hacked emails from the account of John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman. Clinton's campaign has declined to verify the emails. Goldman Sachs did not immediately provide any comment on Saturday. ... Read more

Donald Trump Won't Stop Attacking Paul Ryan
HP | Marina Fang | 10/16/16

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continued his feud with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Sunday, after Ryan distanced himself from Trump in response to the bombshell recording of Trump boasting about sexual assault.

In a series of tweets, Trump called Ryan "a man who doesn't know how to win," referring to his loss in 2012, when he was the GOP's vice presidential nominee, and said that the House speaker "does zilch" to help him defeat Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. ... Read more

Hey, Remember How The GOP Had A Bunch Of 2016 Candidates Who Weren't Serial Sexual Predators?

A Running List Of The Women Who've Accused Donald Trump Of Sexual Assault
HP | Catherine Pearson | 10/13/16

The Washington Post published footage from 2005 of serial misogynist Donald Trump bragging that as a famous man, he can get away with anything. Like kissing women without waiting for permission. And grabbing women by the pussy. Trump has defended these comments, repeatedly, as "locker room talk." When pressed by Anderson Cooper during the second presidential debate, he said that he absolutely had not sexually assaulted women.

But since Trump's remarks emerged ? and well before then ? women have shared their allegations of sexual abuse against the Republican presidential nominee. ... Read more

Cathy Heller
  • Her account: Heller, now 63, told The Guardian that the first and only time she interacted with Trump, "he grabbed her, went for a kiss, and grew angry with her as she twisted away." This was all while Heller was having Mother's Day brunch at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, with her husband, in-laws and children. She alleges that Trump said, "Oh, come on" when she protested and held her still while he kissed her on the side of the mouth before walking away. A relative who was seated at the table that day confirmed to The Guardian that Trump was "very forceful" and got "in her face."
  • Trump's response: Nothing yet.
  • When we found out: October 15, 2016
  • When she says it happened: Around 1997 (Heller says she is not 100 percent sure)

Summer Zervos
  • Her account: Zervos, a contestant on season five of "The Apprentice" (and a self-described Republican) said in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred that Trump assaulted her on several occasions. She said the first time, she met with Trump in his office and he kissed her on the mouth, which Zervos rationalized as simply a strange greeting. On a separate occasion, she said she met with Trump at the Beverly Hills Hotel to discuss business opportunities. Instead Trump grabbed her while she sat next to him and began kissing her and touching her breasts, Zervos said in her statement. Trump later walked her into the bedroom, she told reporters, and "began thrusting his genitals." The two did go on to have dinner and discuss real estate, according to Zervos. When asked why she chose to come forward now, she said: "I want to be able to sleep when I'm 70."
  • Trump's response: Nothing yet.
  • When we found out: October 14, 2016
  • When she says it happens: 2007

Kristin Anderson
  • Her account: Anderson says she was out at a Manhattan nightclub with friends, sitting on a red velvet couch, when she felt Trump reach into her skirt and touch her vagina through her underwear, The Washington Post reports. She told the paper that the incident was brief, but that she and her friends were "very grossed out." Anderson was in her early 20s at the time, and an aspiring model.
  • Trump's response: A spokeswoman for Trump told The Washington Post that he "denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity. It is totally ridiculous." It's worth noting, though, that Anderson did not approach the Post with her story. She was contacted by a reporter who'd heard about her experience from other people, and reportedly deliberated for several days about whether or not to go public.
  • When we found out: October 14, 2016
  • When she says it happened: The early 1990s

Jessica Leeds
  • Her account: More than 30 years ago, Leeds was traveling for work when she sat next to Trump on a flight to New York. Leeds, who is now 74, told The New York Times that she and Trump spoke for a bit, then about 45 minutes into the flight he lifted the armrest between them and began to grab her breasts and put his hand up her skirt. "He was like an octopus," she told The New York Times. "His hands were everywhere."
  • Trump's response: Trump vehemently denied the story. An attorney representing him has called upon The New York Times to retract it and has threatened to sue the publication. (The New York Times responded.)
  • When we found out: October 12, 2016
  • When she says it happened: The early 1980s

Rachel Crooks
  • Her account: Crooks says she was assaulted by Trump in an elevator while working as a receptionist for a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower. She told The New York Times that upon meeting Trump, she introduced herself and shook his hand, but he would not let go. Trump began to kiss her on the cheeks, then directly on the mouth. "It was so inappropriate," she told the Times. "I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that." Crooks was 22 at the time.
  • Trump's response: See above
  • When we found out: October 12, 2016
  • When she says it happened: 2005

Mindy McGillivray
  • Her account: McGillivray, 36, told the Palm Beach Post that Trump groped her while she was attending a concert at Mar-a-Lago, his estate-slash-private-club in Palm Beach, Florida. She was there to help a friend who was photographing the concert, when she says Trump groped her. "All of a sudden I felt a grab, a little nudge. I think it's Ken's camera bag, that was my first instinct. I turn around and there's Donald," McGillivray told the Palm Beach Post. "This was a pretty good nudge. More of a grab,'' she continued. "It was pretty close to the center of my butt. I was startled. I jumped."
  • Trump's response: A day after the account was published, CNN reported that Trump's campaign was drafting a lawsuit against the paper.
  • When we found out: October 12, 2016
  • When she says it happened: 2003

Natasha Stoynoff
  • Her account: In a harrowing essay for People, Stoynoff ? a journalist ? described how Trump assaulted her while she was interviewing him and his wife, Melania, at their Palm Beach estate. She writes that Trump insisted on giving her a private tour of the grounds, at which point he pinned and kissed her: "Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat ... I was grateful when Trump's longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself."
  • Trump's response: At a campaign rally, Trump questioned her claims saying, "Look at her. ... I don't think so."
  • When we found out: October 12, 2016
  • When she says it happened: 2005

Jennifer Murphy
  • Her account: Murphy, a contestant on season four of "The Apprentice," told Grazia that Trump kissed her on the lips after a job interview. "He walked me to the elevator, and I said goodbye. ... When he pulled my face in and gave me a smooch. I was like 'OK,'" she told Grazia. "I didn't know how to act." Murphy also told the publication that she still plans to vote for Trump.
  • Trump's response: N/A
  • When we found out: October 12, 2016
  • When she says it happened: 2005

Temple Taggart McDowell
  • Her account: The year that Taggart McDowell was crowned Miss Utah, Trump had just taken ownership of the Miss USA pageant. She says that when she was first introduced to him, he kissed her. "He kissed me directly on the lips," Taggart McDowell told The New York Times when she came forward with her story. "I thought, 'Oh my God, gross.' He was married to Marla Maples at the time ... I was like 'Wow, that's inappropriate.'"
  • Trump's response: Trump told NBC he doesn't know who she is and denies he ever assaulted her.
  • When we found out: May 2016
  • When she says it happened: 1997

Cassandra Searles
  • Her account: Yahoo News reports that over the summer, Cassandra Searles ? Miss Washington 2013 ? posted a photo on Facebook of her fellow contestants and the question: "Do y'all remember that one time we had to do our onstage introductions, but this one guy treated us like cattle and made us do it again because we didn't look him in the eyes? Do you also remember when he then proceeded to have us lined up so he could get a closer look at his property?" In a follow-up comment on the post, she reportedly added: "He probably doesn't want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my ass and invited me to his hotel room."
  • Trump's response: N/A
  • When we found out: June 2016
  • When she says it happened: Not totally clear, but presumably in 2013

"Jane Doe"
  • Her account: In June, a California woman -- "Jane Doe" ? filed a lawsuit alleging that Trump raped her at a party when she was 13 years old. As Buzzfeed reported, an initial hearing in the case has been scheduled for December 2016.
  • Trump's response: Trump has vigorously denied the claims, saying that the lawsuit was designed to smear his presidential campaign.
  • When we found out: June 2016
  • When she says it happened: 1994

Jill Harth
  • Her account: Harth worked with Trump in the 1990s (she and her partner operated a competition called American Dream Calendar Girls), but it ended in a bitter legal battle. In a 1997 lawsuit, Harth alleged in court documents that Trump repeatedly sexually harassed her, at one point groping her under the table. (The documents were surfaced by The Boston Globe.) Though she eventually dropped that suit, she stands by her story. "How can people not believe me now?" she asked "Inside Edition" after footage of Trump saying he grabs women by the pussy emerged.
  • Trump's response: In a May New York Times article on Trump's treatment of women that also included Harth's account, Trump said it was, in fact, Harth who had pursued him.
  • When we found out: April 2016
  • When she says it happens: 1993

Ivana Trump
  • Her account: In a 1992 deposition during their divorce, Trump's first wife described an incident in which she says her then-husband forced her to have sex with him. (Spousal rape is still rape.) The deposition came to light in the 1993 Trump biography Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump. Ivana later softened her claims, saying that she "felt violated" as the love and tenderness she was accustomed to from her husband was absent that night, but she was not accusing him of a crime. She followed-up with a statement obtained by CNN last June telling in which she said "the story is totally without merit."
  • Trump's response: He denies it ever took place.
  • When we found out: 1993

American History Textbooks' Lies: Everything Your Teacher Got Wrong - Myths, Education (1995) [57:02]
Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen

This updated and revised edition of the American Book Award-winner and national bestseller revitalizes the truth of America's history, explores how myths continue to be perpetrated, and includes a new chapter on 9/11 and the Iraq War.

Americans have lost touch with their history, and in Lies My Teacher Told Me Professor James Loewen shows why. After surveying eighteen leading high school American history texts, he has concluded that not one does a decent job of making history interesting or memorable. Marred by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, these books omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from our past.

In this revised edition, packed with updated material, Loewen explores how historical myths continue to be perpetuated in today's climate and adds an eye-opening chapter on the lies surrounding 9/11 and the Iraq War. From the truth about Columbus's historic voyages to an honest evaluation of our national leaders, Loewen revives our history, restoring the vitality and relevance it truly possesses.

Thought provoking, nonpartisan, and often shocking, Loewen unveils the real America in this iconoclastic classic beloved by high school teachers, history buffs, and enlightened citizens across the country.

"President Trump has gotten people who wouldn't give me or Romney or anybody else the time of day. They believe he is on their side," the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

AI - Artificial Intelligence

AIArtificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by animals including humans. AI research has been defined as the field of study of intelligent agents, which refers to any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals.

The term "artificial intelligence" had previously been used to describe machines that mimic and display "human" cognitive skills that are associated with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem-solving". This definition has since been rejected by major AI researchers who now describe AI in terms of rationality and acting rationally, which does not limit how intelligence can be articulated.

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.  It is the foundation of all quantum physics including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.
Classical physics, the collection of theories that existed before the advent of quantum mechanics, describes many aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic) scale, but is not sufficient for describing them at small (atomic and subatomic) scales. Most theories in classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large (macroscopic) scale.

911

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists attacked the Unites States. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers on the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.
