Ahmad Jamal

Ahmad Jamal has long been one of my favourite musicians, in fact since I was around 15 when I first heard ‘Ahmad Jamal at the Alhambra’ which had this song, ‘Poinciana’ on it. Click Here to view a bunch more Jamal videos including an interview with the man himself and I’ve added some to Creative-i’s Video Library.

Systemic Crisis of the World Economy: Global Geopolitical Dislocation
21 June, 2010 — Global Research – GlobalEurope Anticipation Bulletin, GEAB N°46-Special Summer 2010 – 2010-06-16
Four Single Points of Failure: Strategic, Financial, Economic and Social Convulsions
Each day the news confirm the extent to which the global systemic crisis has now entered into the phase of global geopolitical dislocation, even if the media only timidly begin to interpret the historic upheavals which unfold before our own eyes. For LEAP/E2020, the second half of 2010 will thus correspond to a new step in the global geopolitical dislocation, characterized by an acceleration in the process of strategic, financial, economic and social convulsions centered on four single points of failure (1) of the international system analyzed in this GEAB issue.
The general context is that which has been outlined in previous GEAB reports, that’s to say a recovery … of the world economic crisis after a temporary freeze due to stimulation measures. But before entering into the detail of these anticipations on the unfolding of the economic and financial crisis in the second half of 2010, let’s take note that the beginning of June 2010 provides two particularly striking examples of the accelerated collapse of the global system of these past decades: one in terms of global economic governance, the other concerning the ability of the United States to control its own allies (see GEAB N°46).

URUK Net 18 June, 2010: BP and the Pentagon’s Dirty Little Secret
The Afghan puppet government is crumbling before our eyes. We must talk to the Taliban
by William Dalrymple
June 17, 2010 – …As one of the tribal elders from the village of Jegdalek asked me: ‘How many times can they apologise for killing our innocent women and children and expect us to forgive them? ‘They come, they bomb, they kill us and then they say: “Oh, sorry, we got the wrong people.” ‘And they keep doing that.’ The British soldiers of 1842 met the same reaction in their day […] This time, we have been clumsier, and Nato has helped to install a former CIA asset described by a high-ranking UN diplomat as ‘off-balance’ and ‘emotional’, and whose continued ‘tirade raises questions about his mental stability’. Although Karzai is a Pashtun of the Popalzai tribe, under his watch Nato has, in effect, installed the Northern Alliance in Kabul and driven the country’s Pashtun majority out of power…However, much as some Western liberals may dislike the Taliban, the truth remains that they are in many ways the authentic voice of rural Pashtun conservatism, whose views and wishes are ignored by the government in Kabul and who are still largely excluded from power. It is hardly surprising that the Pashtuns are determined to resist the regime and that the insurgency is widely supported, especially in the Pashtun heartlands of the south and east…Read the full article / Leggi l’articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.de/?p=67145

Protesters Picket Israeli Cargo Ship
20 June, 2010 — Tom Vee Videos
In Oakland, California an Israeli ship was blocked by protesters for the first time in history. 700-1000 protesters blocked three different gates at 5:30 A.M. keeping dockworkers from unloading the Israeli cargo.
ILWU members refused to cross picketline – citing “health & safety” provisions of their contract. Management demanded “instant arbitration.” The arbitrator took a look at the picketlines at each gate to the SSA Terminal and ruled that ILWU members were justified in refusing to cross.
All dockworkers were sent home with FULL PAY.
Special thanks to the Brass Liberation Orchestra for their performances today.
