Watt Childress commented on the diary post Inspirational First- and Mexican-American Actions: We Fight the Same Masters of Plunder Now by wendydavis.
The first half does read like a little slice of indigenous history. Perhaps I should have led with the second half, which discusses the unfolding attempt to erase the cultural heritage of people who met Lewis and Clark at the Pacific.

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for continuing to write about indigenous people. Here’s a link to a related topic in the Northwest.

Help turn this moment into a world-wide wave of light.
Yes, every moment. Thought of you and your wending work today while walking on the beach.
Here’s to good words, prayers, and Dr. King.

Watt Childress commented on the diary post Euro Crises Need More than One Size Fits All by Scarecrow.
“Debt enfebblement is the requisite tool for creating an impoverished landscape that invites privatization and deregulation.” Whether intentional or not, this is the foreseeable outcome of current economic policies. In a BBC interview, a Greek housewife said current policies would force her family to endure a London cost-of-living on a Bulgarian income. Citizens are prepped [...]

Choice quote from Carlin. Tells the truth. It also treads the line between hard reality and defeatism.

Watt Childress commented on the diary post Euro Crises Need More than Once Size Fits All by Scarecrow.
Your queston applies to the whole planet. For years I’ve heard some fellow citizens insist that the United States is not a democracy, but a constitutional republic.
Of course, the same can be said for the People’s Republic of China.

Financiers who make money on money — the players who now control public policy — appear to have a one-size-fits-all definition of “economic growth”. Differences in how growth is defined and measured are evident in how the proposed austerity measures are viewed. Yet those measures are just part of the picture. I recently returned from [...]

Watt Childress commented on the diary post Capitalism – The China Connection. by cmaukonen.
While recently in Italy I purchased a pair of shoes (one of my only souvenirs during a five-week family trip). They are well-made and beautiful. I have major problems with politicians who get their trade policy orders from China. It also reflects on American retailers when they don’t sell products that are manufactured in free [...]

Watt Childress commented on the diary post Look Out Pacific Rim: Here Comes O’Bomba’s Free Trade Deal to F*** You Up by wendydavis.
Much to consider here, Wendy. Recommended.
One thing that comes to mind. I understand there is now concrete data linking air pollution in the Northwest to industrial processes in Asia. Now would be a good time to re-couple U.S. trade policy with shared values — like clean air and worker safety, for example.

Watt Childress commented on the diary post Whats next for the Eurozone ? by cmaukonen.
Recommended. I haven’t combed the mainstream media for reports on the eurozone financial crisis. Maybe I’ve just missed something; but one thing that seems to be lost in the sauce when I read about this mess is a story I hear repeated by people from Ireland, Greece, and elsewhere. About the same time their countries [...]

Watt Childress commented on the diary post Pardon Me; My Name Is Tariq Aziz. May I Speak to You, Please? by wendydavis.
Thank you, Wendy, for continuing to pump spirit through the heart of public discourse. Yesterday at my place of work I encountered a man who’s on a personal crusade to expose the “evils of Islam.” It was my first re-exposure to the anti-Islam bug that seems so virulent in this country. Freshly back from Europe, [...]

Hi David,
An earlier comment mentioned that this Aziz was a 16 year old youth who was killed by a U.S. drone attack, as reported by Amy Goodman. Below is a link to the report, which offers context for Wendy’s heartfelt offering.
