15 February 2008 Ex-Nova teachers' union files complaint against new employer OSAKA — A labor union for teachers from bankrupt language school chain Nova Corp filed a report Friday with the Osaka District Court, saying their current employer G.communication Co has dismissed a number of staff against its initial accord of rehiring all.

We think it's important to give Michigan's workers the freedom to decide whether they want to join a labor union, and protect them from being discriminated against if they choose to not become a member.

The Committee for Economic Development (CED) in partnership with The Century Foundation cordially invites you to attend a breakfast discussion on Richard Kahlenberg's new book, "Tough Liberal: Albert Shanker and the Battles Over Schools, Unions, Race, and Democracy". The discussion will take place on November 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the East Side Marriott in New York City (525 Lexington Avenue, at 49th Street). Breakfast will be available at 8:30 a.m. The program begins at 9 a.m. In addition to the author, panelists will include: Eugenia Kemble, the Executive Director of the Albert Shanker Institute; Sol Hurwitz, CED President Emeritus; Dr. Diane Ravitch, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education; Bella Rosenberg, former Shanker advisor; and Randi Weingarten, President of the United Federation of Teachers. The discussion will be moderated by Richard Leone, President of the Century Foundation. In his 1973 comedy Sleeper, Woody Allen depicted teacher union leader Albert Shanker as the man who destroyed the world. In Tough Liberal, however, Albert Shanker is described as a complex and visionary figure whose life story offers timely lessons for contemporary debates over education, labor, civil rights, foreign policy, and the future of liberalism. Albert Shanker, the legendary president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) from 1974 to 1997, was a founding father of modern teacher unionism and a leading advocate of education reform. Although a staunch unionist, he was also a strong proponent of standards-based reform, teacher-led charter schools, and the professionalization of teaching. Shanker had an unusual ability to work with both liberals and conservatives and a unique world view that stood firmly for public schools and trade unionism on the one hand, but departed from traditional liberal orthodoxies on issues like affirmative action, bilingual education, and national security on the other.

"Groups that fear everything from money for education to police officers could be harmed unless a new budget and tax increase are in place by Oct. 1 launched a campaign Wednesday warning of the "countdown to chaos." The coalition — including agencies representing universities, schools, police and fire departments, children, low-income residents, public employee labor unions and others — said a long-term solution is needed for Michigan's budget problems when the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1."

Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt wrote an article about fascism ("Fascism Anyone?," Free Inquiry, Spring 2003. Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the characteristics of fascism. The 14 characteristics are: 1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism -Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights -Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. 3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause -The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4. Supremacy of the Military -Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5. Rampant Sexism -The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy. 6. Controlled Mass Media -Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7. Obsession with National Security -Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. 8. Religion and Government are Intertwined -Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. 9. Corporate Power is Protected -The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10. Labor Power is Suppressed -Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed . 11.Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts -Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. 12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment -Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. 13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption -Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections -Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries.

In his original article, "Fascism Anyone?", Laurence Britt (interview) compared the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet and 14 characteristics common to those fascist regimes. This page is a collection of news articles dating from the start of the Bush presidency divided into topics relating to each of the 14 points of fascism. Further analysis of American Fascism done by the POAC can be read here. http://www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htm 1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. 3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4.) Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy. 6.) Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7.) Obsession with National Security: Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses 8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. 9.) Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10.) Labor Power is Suppressed: Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. 11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. 12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations 13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Dean Loren, one of New York's top blacklisted attorneys, produces a weekly television show Jewish World and co-hosts a Christian-Militia satellite radio syndicated program The Stephens Report focusing on geopolitical events affecting global government policy surrounding manipulation of resources.

"Make This," if you want to see something made, use Youtube to do that. Suggest anything you would like to see made, and either Hollywood or a company will make it. And Hollywood and businesses can use this as a means of researching what products and shows to make. ------------------------ Clarence Darrow is a real American hero who defended the rights of labor unions, civil rights, religious influence on education, and even on mental competence in trials. I think a mini-series would be the only way to cover this man's life and his impact on American society. (And I think it should be categorized as a News & Blog since this reflects people's opinions.)
