POPSAmerican Memories. B&W pics During the height of the movement, from 1967 to 1973, photographer Stephen Shames had unprecedented access to the organization and captured not only its public face—street demonstrations, protests, and militant posturing—but also unscripted behind-the-scenes moments, from private meetings held in the Party headquarters, to Bobby Seale at work on his mayoral campaign in Oakland. The Black Panthers (Aperture, October 2006) brings together for the first time a remarkable collection of never-before-published images from Shames’s archive. This illuminating volume reveals how Shames’s insider status enabled him to create an uncommonly nuanced portrait of this dynamic social movement, during one of the most tumultuous periods in U.S. history. Released on the occasion of the Party’s fortieth anniversary, The Black Panthers collectively conveys an electrifying visual history of one of America’s most important social movements.

POPSOne Great Man, one good one, one Ok. One shite GULLIBILITY: "The art of swallowing the belief that one side in a two party kleplocracy is not going to screw you over like a drunken virgin at a Roman orgy" So, if you'll swallow shit(e) you get a shite runt like George, who has disgraced the Bush click forever. He's in his own unique group with Stalin and Mao in the number of deaths he is personally responsible for. Now will you elect another man killer, or a female who wants to, or another man of peace - black.

POPSGotta keep up with the doom and gloom! Aging systems releasing sewage into rivers, streams. “Local governments across the USA plan to spend billions modernizing failing wastewater systems — some of which are more than 100 years old — over the next 10 to 20 years, EPA, state and local sewer authority officials said. Those improvement efforts face a huge challenge mitigating problems in what the EPA estimates to be 1.2 million miles of sewers snaking underground across the USA.” Bodies rot in cyclone-hit Burma. “Piles of rotting corpses are stacking up in remote villages of Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta, with residents saying they don't have enough fuel to cremate victims of deadly Cyclone Nargis.” Deadly battles as Hezbollah says Lebabon 'declares war'. “Deadly gunbattles erupted in Beirut on Thursday after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah charged that a Lebanese government crackdown on his group was tantamount to a 'declaration of war,' stoking fears of a full-blown sectarian conflict."

POPSFreedom House: Wie frei sind die USA wirklich? Beim Kampf für Demokratie und Menschenrechte vergessen die USA ihre Probleme im eigenen Land. Das meint die Demokratieorganisation Freedom House. Die Häftlingsrate ist zehnmal so hoch wie in Westeuropa und mehr als 2000 Kinder sitzen lebenslänglich im Gefängnis. Zu den Demokratiedefiziten gehört nach Ansicht von Freedom House auch die Todesstrafe, die in den meisten anderen Demokratien längst abgeschafft ist. In den Vereinigten Staaten sitzen 3000 Menschen in der Todeszelle. Aber trotz aller Defizite ist Freedom House überzeugt, dass die Vereinigten Staaten ein freies Land mit starken Selbstkorrekturmechanismen bleiben. Schließlich würden die meisten Skandale irgendwann von der Presse aufgedeckt, Fehlentscheidungen der Regierung von Gerichten oder vom Kongress korrigiert. "Freiheit ist in Amerika ein seit über 200 Jahren andauernder Prozess", sagt Stuart Eizenstat.
