Corporate media push Togetherness of US political forces after 9/11: But this illusion was only the prelude to tragedies in Afghanistan and Iraq ordered by Bush.
Viewing Iraq and Afghanistan wars as two sides of same coin, Bush's Baghdad proconsul Ambassador Paul "Jerry" Bremer emerges as a top architect of defeat: Bremer smashed the Baathist administration of Iraq, promoting chaos, and dissolved the Iraqi army, triggering civil war; Amid starvation, Bremer touted financial speculation as key to future.
In his memoirs, Bremer claims he was ordered to do these things by Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, infamous as top neocon-
Recalling Dante Alighieri, 700 years after his death: "Onorate l'altissimo poeta"

September 9, 2021

Commemorating the Man of the Second Millennium - Next Tuesday marks the 700th anniversary of the death of Italian poet and statesman Dante Alighieri, who died of malaria in Ravenna on September 14, 1321 after a peace mission to Venice; Celebrations are being held worldwide;
As Poet, Dante invented modern languages and created Italian as the first one; Powerful oligarchs tried to force him back into Latin only;
Serving as a governor of Florence, he armed the population and resisted the French-controlled Pope Boniface VIII, but was exiled for life;
In 1310, he helped Emperor Henry VII restore the rule of the Visconti family in Milan, which evolved over a few decades into the first modern state;
In his final years, Dante was a refugee with the Scala of Verona and the Polenta of Ravenna as Italy was dominated by Robert of Anjou, King of Naples, whom Dante attacked as a new Polyphemus the Cyclops;
Was Dante's death the result of foul play by the long-hostile Venetian oligarchy?

Richard Trumka Tribute -
“...of the leaders of the AFL-CIO since the second world war, Trumka has been one of the very best and that doesn't translate automatically into success or organizing or even winning huge strikes partly because the Carter spirit has been powerful in the democratic party and there's a lack of understanding why you need organized labor.”

Beyond the Burqa: The Taliban, Women and NGOs.
Those who fail to mention Pashtun nationalism when discussing the Taliban show that they do not understand anything about Afghanistan and its turbulent history since the coup that ousted King Mohammed Zahir Shah in 1973 and ended the Afghan Pashtun-led monarchy.
It should come as no surprise that the porous Afghan-Pakistani border lands are the birthplace and home of the Taliban. Had it not been for Mortimer Durand, a rather lackluster British diplomat, who served as Foreign Secretary of India, political secretary in Kabul, minister in Tehran, and ambassador in Madrid and Washington, DC, the world would not be facing the situation that exists today in Afghanistan or northwestern Pakistan.
The events currently taking place in Afghanistan are a direct result of meddling British bureaucrats who were trying to preserve the last vestiges of British political superiority. The haughtiness of Mortimer Durand and Lord Mountbatten remains alive within the far-right ranks of Boris Johnson's merry band of Tories.
If the world wants to stabilize Afghanistan, it can start by supporting the creation of a united Pashtunistan and abrogating the Durand Line treaty.

CRT or no CRT, one thing is for sure: Right-wing leadership doesn't want the real history of Texas taught, including the Alamo and Davy Crockett. Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 and prohibited the importation of new slaves into the Mexican Territory (Texas). So, Mexico got the first taste of what the North got in 1860! Texas slaves went to fight with either the Mexicans or Cherokee Indians. Trump wanted to honor these pro-slavery Texan secessionists in his National Garden of American Heroes while ignoring Mother Jones, Paul Robeson, and Malcolm X. 
Trump as archetype of the Trickster: "he always breaks in, just as the unconscious does, to trip up the rational situation. He doesn't respect the values that you've set up for yourself, and smashes them." The trickster-hero sums up Donald Trump and other misanthropes of American history.
