A satirical take on the birth of Christ and the response of the capitalist 
media. Plus Juan Cole who argues that Jesus was a Syrian refugee twice and that 
US Republican presidential candidates would refuse him and his family entry to 
the United States today.

Critics of the Syrian revolution on the left claim that the US has a 
fundamentally different attitude to the Syrian revolt than it had to the 
uprising against the Egyptian and Tunisian regimes – both US allies – in 
2011. There is a grain of truth in this. The fact that it was close 
partners of the US under the gun at the start of the Arab revolt 
coloured the tactical approach the US took. But on a fundamental level, 
the approach is the same. The US relationship with the Assad regime was 
not as close as the alliance with Mubarak, but the Syrian regime was a 
stable element in the region with which the US could deal – and did on 
numerous occasions. The Assad dynasty – both father and son – kept the 
peace on the Israeli border for over 40 years, and put down attempts by 
Palestinians and the left to take on Israel or install radical or 
genuinely pro-Palestinian governments on its border. The more important 
unique feature about Syria that dictated the US approach was the 
impossibility of disentangling the Syrian state from the hated dictator 
at its top. This meant that the US, if it was going to make a real 
choice, had either to back Assad as in Bahrain, but without a 
Saudi-style reserve army to come in and save the day, or to come out and 
help the rebellion to bring down the whole regime. The US did not 
consider either option to be palatable; the former because it would 
discredit the US and entrench Russian influence in the Middle East, the 
latter because it would require either a major US military operation, or 
the handing over of substantial numbers of arms to rebels who it knew 
were in no way pro-US or pro-Israeli. Unwilling to make a pro-active 
choice, the US vacillated, offering verbal support to the rebels, but 
nothing in the way of real weaponry or logistical support. In doing so 
it sent a message to the regime that while the US might make statements 
against it, there was little or no chance it would ever act decisively 
to oppose the status quo. Contrast this vacillating US approach with 
that of Russia, which has been unwavering in its backing of the Assad 
regime.

Because of his journalistic prominence during the uprisings of 1848, 
Charles Anderson Dana, the editor of the powerful Republican newspaper, 
the New York Tribune, hired Marx to be its chief foreign correspondent. 
After the uprisings of 1848 were crushed, many of the most militant 
Germans prudently left the country. Many settled in Texas (a place that 
Marx considered moving to), Oklahoma and Ohio. The 48-ers, many of whom 
were followers of Marx, became very active in the Republican Party. 
Senator Carl Schurz, an acquaintance of Marx, became a powerful senator 
from Missouri, as well as Secretary of the Interior. The 48-ers 
sometimes get credit for having been the major force that tipped the 
nomination of the party’s presidential candidate to Abraham Lincoln. 
Mark Lause’s book, A Secret Society History of the Civil War, makes a 
powerful case for their contribution.

Wow. I have never heard anyone refer to Abraham Lincoln as having Marxist
influences except from staunch right-wing "libertarians" who view him as
the source of all evil.

I think what Hersh reports is a turf war between the the CIA and the Pentagon, 
with the former holding (as US Machiavellians have, back to the Carter 
administration in Afghanistan) that jihadists can be used for US policy goals 
of Mideast control, and the Pentagon skeptical about that.

The former position is illustrated in Andrew Cockburn's current article, "A 
Special Relationship: The United States is teaming up with Al Qaeda, again”

Seymour Hersh, the doddering old fool who should have retired from 
journalism at least as long ago as Woody Allen should have stopped 
making movies, has written a preposterous article in the LRB that relies 
pretty much on the word of an unnamed ex-official in the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff. The unnamed source (what else would you expect) claims that the 
Pentagon has been effectively operating as an arm of the Kremlin to back 
Bashar al-Assad in his war on the Syrian rebels. If the Justice 
Department were to take these allegations seriously, they’d arrest 
former Pentagon head for treason and not just put him in jail but

Factual error/misleading omission:

"In 1996, Benjamin Netanyahu's new Likud government released Yassin from
jail, where he was serving a life sentence for the kidnap and murder of two
Israeli soldiers and eventually allowed him to return to Gaza."

It was in 1997, as part of a prisoner exchange for five Mossad agents (two
held by Jordan, three trapped in a besieged embassy) who had attempted to
poison Hamas' Jordanian branch leader Khaled Meshaal in Amman.

[Marxism] Fwd: A Journey of Dmitri Shostakovich | Louis Proyect: The Unrepentant Marxist

(A film review from 9 years ago. I doubt that it can be seen anywhere 
now. Too bad.)


Despite its obvious cold war inspiration, “A Journey of Dmitri 
Shostakovich,” directed by Okasana Dvornichenko and Helga Landauer, is 
an excellent introduction to the great composer’s life and career. 
Structured around a trip by ocean liner he made to the USA near the end 
of his life in 1973, it blends together performances of his work, 
excerpts from his letters and appalling evidence of how he was hounded 
by Stalin and his cultural commissars.


Oddly enough, despite the obvious intentions of the directors to cast 
the USSR as a kind of unredeemed failure, one of the greatest 
attractions of the film is its liberal use of Soviet era kitsch. Footage 
of men and women performing calisthenics under Stalin’s gaze, shipboard 
lectures on the glories of socialism, old agitprop posters, etc., are 
actually the perfect visual complement to Shostakovich’s music, which 
was not afraid to indulge in patriotic and socialist flag-waving. 
Indeed, this contradiction, which was at the heart of his creativity, is 
something that defies easy resolution. As much as the directors would 
like to recruit the great composer to a rerun of the cold war culture 
wars, he remains very much as part of the legacy of a unique experiment.


We learn that Shostakovich was very much a product of the USSR’s 
historical experience. As an 11 year old boy, he witnessed street 
fighting between revolutionary workers and Czarist cops. Only 15 years 
later, he would serve as a fire warden during the siege of Leningrad. He 
was always torn between writing music for the masses that depicted broad 
social struggles using straightforward harmonies and more experimental 
chamber works and opera that were heavily ironic and even nihilistic. 
When I was first exposed to Shostakovich’s music in the 1950s, I tended 
to dismiss the first kind of composition and rue the fact that he was 
prevented from devoting himself fully to the more modern works. My 
attitude was of course shaped by the prevailing prejudices of the time, 
which tended to equate artistic “difficulty” with political freedom and 
private property.

[Marxism] Fwd: The Uyghurs’ lifesaving escape route to Turkey is not a ratline Mr. Hersh | The Kebab and Camel

Pulitzer winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh’s latest article 
on the Syria tragedy, in which he alleges that Pentagon leaders, 
including former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dempsey, 
conducted a secret alliance with Assad and Putin to undermine Obama, 
sent shockwaves around the internet. Especially pro-Assad and Pro-Putin 
circles greatly enjoyed it.


However as Shashank Joshi, a senior research fellow at the Royal United 
Services Institute, underlined on twitter, the article is inconsistent 
and flawed. He explains, “What this has in common with Osama bin 
Laden-conspiracy is over-complicated, convoluted plot and really 
implausible details. And brought to you by the same cast of 
totally-legit characters, like ‘A longtime consultant to America’s 
intelligence community.’”


Joshi also gives an example of implausible details. For instance, Hersh 
would have his readers believe that the U.S. saw Assad as credible on 
the fate of the Golan Heights in 2013, while he wasn’t able to control 
many major towns in Syria.


Online news website Vox also pointed out that the story had three main 
problems. First it described General Dempsey as a dissident against 
Obama’s plan to arm Syrian rebels. This is nonsense because Dempsey both 
publicly and privately voiced a desire to do more to arm Syrian rebels. 
Secondly, Hersh doesn’t provide any sort of proof backing his claims. 
Finally, the allegation that the Pentagon is conspiring against 
President Obama is fundamentally at odds with the reality as we know it, 
Vox said. The American military leadership only follows the 
commander-in-chief, who is the President of the United States, and there 
is no apparent precedent for a conspiracy of the sort suggested by Hersh.

http://stillhomeron.blogspot.com/2015/12/leningrad-shostakovich-and-music-of.html

--
To me, Shostakovich composed the music of a time of end-of-era cognitive 
dissonance and destruction. 

I grew up in a musical family in the midwest. My mother played and taught piano 
and played the organ in a local church, and my business-man father was a paid 
church baritone and civic light opera soloist (even a paid cantor for a time) 
with a fine voice, who would not allow me to have vocal training, because he 
said a second-rate businessman can make a living at it, but not a second rate 
musician. I listened with resignation to what he said, and to the vocal music 
of Handel, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Hugo Wolf, and got not much further. I 
learned at least to read music and listen fairly critically, but without formal 
training other than choral. Until the LP came along, and moving to the 
more-vibrant Bay Area of KPFA and Davies Symphony Hall (and the Jazz Workshop, 
Keystone Corner, Blind Lemon and the Blackhawk).

In the last few years I’ve been listening, for hours at a time, to 
Shostakovich, particularly his quartets.  At first what I heard was the 
dissonance and agony, and friends and family asked me what in the world I was 
doing immersing myself in that ugly, downer music. Because that’s what it seems 
to be to many. 

But then I recalled the history of the musical form as it came to me. The 
strange dissonances, for their time, of Hildegarde von Bingen and Gesualdo, the 
original organ compositions of Buxtehude, the cramped shapes of much of the 
sacred music of Heinrich Schutz, what seemed to me the almost mathematically 
precise, often angular forms of Bach in his astounding instrumental and vocal 
compositions, often clashing, I’m sure, to his contemporaries in the 
stultified, pious Lutheran church fold, the dissonances in some of the 
Beethoven late quartets and the strange rhythms and unfamiliar tone poems in 
his symphonies, sometimes clashing, and the effect they may have had on 
comfortable bourgeois listeners in the chambers and concert halls of 
19th-century Europe. The almost crazed use of the idiom by Berlioz, the unusual 
experiments in new forms of Debussy, Stravinsky, Berg, Carter, Veress, Reich, 
Reilly, Glass and Cage, and how most have been validated for their genius and 
have entered, some sooner some later, the mainstream of musical experience.   

And the more I listened the more I marveled at what Shostakovich was doing with 
the material world of experience of his place and time, and what genius it took 
to make such creative and profoundly expressive use of that material to explore 
and extend the accretion of musical invention and creation bequeathed to him. 
His piano compositions as well, his 24 Preludes and Fugues in honor of Bach. 
But especially his quartets, which were his secret, uninhibited, creative 
expression and testament hidden beyond the stultifying criticisms of Soviet 
officialdom. I now think of him as the premier genius by far among 20th century 
composers.

So I‘m requesting a copy of Symphony for the City of the Dead, and thanks for 
the referral and your thoughts, Ron. You’ve certainly added to my day, sent me 
back to Dmitri’s 3rd quartet, after weeks on streets filled with canned tired 
Christmas music.
