  Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship? 
  Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. The Gaslight Effect is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. 
  Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. 
  DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR? 
   - Doubting yourself and your sanity 
  - Feeling like you’re losing your mind 
  - Feeling like you’re always apologizing 
  - You’re second-guessing your memory 
  - Feeling like you aren’t good enough 
  - Feeling misunderstood 
  - Feeling lonely 
  - Ruined self confidence 
  - Extreme weight loss or weight gain 
  - Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity 
  - Feeling like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong 
  - Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective) 
  - Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex 
  - Strange dreams 
  - Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression 
  The list goes on…. 
  “NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!” 
  I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. 
  Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy. 
  Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse. 
  Gaslighting is lying with a goal. 
  The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.

  Carl von Clausewitz: The Life...

  Charles River Editors

  Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz died almost 200 years ago, yet he remains one of the most important and influential of all military thinkers. His teachings combined strategy with military knowledge to produce a dialectic approach to the philosophy of warfare, and his work is still widely taught in military academies around the world. There are few senior military leaders anywhere who are not familiar with his seminal book, On War.  
  	In fact, with the exception of Napoleon Bonaparte, no man was more influential on the military tactics and strategy of 19th century warfare than Clausewitz, a Prussian soldier and military theorist who stressed the moral and political aspects of war. On War was mandatory for all military students and officers to read during the 19th century, and it was common practice for generals during the American Civil War to carry Clausewitz’s treatise and read it to assist them in strategy and tactics.  
  	On War covered every conceivable facet of warfare, using historical battles as examples of what to do and what not to do. The treatise discusses how opposite forces interact, and how unexpected new developments unfolding under the "fog of war" called for rapid decisions by alert commanders. In opposition to Antoine-Henri Jomini, he argued war could not be quantified or graphed or reduced to mapwork and graphs.  
  	Perhaps most importantly, Clausewitz realized the correlation between politics and war. Clausewitz had many aphorisms, of which the most famous is, "War is not merely a political act, but also a political instrument, a continuation of political relations, a carrying out of the same by other means.” This view of warfare is still the standard viewpoint of war today. What it is easy to overlook is that when On War was first published, Clausewitz was regarded as a fairly insignificant figure, but in hindsight it’s easy to understand why his concepts have stood the test of time.

  Fridays of Rage - Al Jazeera the...

  Fridays of Rage provides a glimpse into how Al Jazeera strategically cast its journalists as martyrs in the struggle for Arab freedom while promoting itself as the mouthpiece and advocate of the Arab public. 
   
   
   
  In addition to heralding a new era of Arab democracy, Al Jazeera has become a major influence over Arab perceptions of American involvement in the Arab World, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the rise of global Islamic fundamentalism, and the expansion of the political far right. Al Jazeera's blueprint for "Muslim-democracy" was part of a vision announced by the network during its earliest broadcasts. The network embarked upon a mission to reconstruct the Arab mindset and psyche. Al Jazeera introduced exiled Islamist leaders to the larger Arab public while also providing Muslim feminists a platform. 
   
   
   
  The inclusion and consideration of Westerners, Israelis, Hamas, secularists, and others earned the network a reputation for pluralism and inclusiveness. Al Jazeera presented a mirror to an Arab world afraid to examine itself and its democratic deficiencies. But rather than assuming that Al Jazeera is a monolithic force for positive transformation in Arab society, Fridays of Rage examines the potentially dark implications of Al Jazeera's radical re-conceptualization of media as a strategic tool or weapon.

  Locked Down Locked Out - Why...

  Maya Schenwar

  • 0

  • 0

  An analysis of the US prison system through real-life stories, and a look at the complex work of community-based social justice projects. 
   
   
   
  Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own family's experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems—both individual harm and larger social wrongs—through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us. 
   
   
   
  "Maya Schenwar's stories about prisoners, their families (including her own), and the thoroughly broken punishment system are rescued from any pessimism such narratives might inspire by the author's brilliant juxtaposition of abolitionist imaginaries and radical political practices." —Angela Y. Davis, author of Are Prisons Obsolete?
