  There Will be No Palestinian...

  Ziyad Clot

  "I bought an El Al ticket. Destination Ben Gourion airport. Tel Aviv. Israel. 60 years ago, my mother was born a few dozen kilometers away. In Haifa, Palestine.
  So begins the story of the "return" of Ziyad Clot, grandson of Palestinian exiles. In Ramallah, he accepted a position as legal advisor to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and became a negotiator, taking part in the talks that were to lead to the creation of the Palestinian state by the end of 2008. But he soon came to terms with the obvious: "The peace process is a spectacle, a farce, played out at the expense of Palestinian reconciliation, at the cost of bloodshed in Gaza. And despite myself, I'm becoming one of the actors in this drama.”
  The author plunges us into the heart of the peace process, revealing the pretenses, behind-the-scenes maneuvers of the parties and the internal and international rivalries that help fuel the fantasy of a two-state solution. This edifying account, steeped in personal history, shows how and why negotiations to create a Palestinian state came to nothing. For the former negotiator, a peaceful solution to the conflict can only be found through a single state in which Palestinians and Israelis will have to live together. This hybrid country, "Israeltine," is already here.

  The Theory of Evolution is a Joke

  Danny Erhardt, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, has sought the truth, and fortuitously found it. You can too. If you seek it with all your heart. If you love the truth more than the opinions and conclusions that are already in your head. The lies of Satan ("the great deceiver who goes forth to deceive the whole world") cover this earth like a blanket, and people believe whatever they are taught. (Evolution is one of them...) What lies have you been taught? have you learned to hold dear? ...Danny is father to a half dozen boys and girls, and grandfather to a little more than half a dozen.  
  If you have any unintelligent criticisms or thoughtless attacks on the truth, to share, please send them to our Complaint Dept. Administrator, Mrs. Helen Waite. Go to her if you feel the need to vent any or all of the evolutionary indoctrinated lies that we were all fed, and that unfortunately too many still believe. Also, if anyone is offended by any, or all, of the accurate scientific truths and realities imparted here, then please bang your face against your bathroom mirror for about half an hour, and then hide under your mommy's bed for a couple of weeks. This should help.  
  Well, thank you so much for picking up a copy of this book, or considering doing the same. It's called the truth. And may God (you know, the actual Creator of all of this) richly bless you and yours.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  Dalton Conley

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  The crisis of the world capitalist system and that of the Philippine ruling system have become worse than in any period after World War II. The US-instigated policies of neoliberal globalization, state terrorism and aggressive war have wrought havoc on the lives of the people and continue to escalate oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people cannot tolerate their suffering and they are fighting back against imperialism and all reaction. 
    
  The loss or erosion of livelihoods is the most concrete and widespread impact of the current crisis of the world capitalist system on people's lives, both in the advanced capitalist countries as well as in the underdeveloped countries. Despite recent pronouncements from state officials and the business press that economic recovery is in sight, the global economy continues to tumble with the gross domestic product of the leading capitalist countries still contracting, consumer spending still in decline and unemployment still rising.
