Sinossi

In "Newer Ideals of Peace," Jane Addams offers a profound exploration of the evolving notions of peace in the early 20th century, responding to the tumultuous sociopolitical landscape marked by World War I. Employing a blend of philosophical discourse and pragmatic social analysis, Addams critiques traditional peace paradigms while advocating for a more nuanced understanding that incorporates social justice and collective responsibility. Her literary style is marked by clarity and compassion, drawing on personal experiences and her work in Hull House to illustrate the practical implications of her ideals, positioning her arguments within a broader context of American pragmatism and progressive reform. Jane Addams, a pioneering social reformer and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, drew on her experiences to inform her advocacy for peace and social change. Her commitment to social work, women's rights, and international peace efforts was likely influenced by her own understanding of the interconnections between individual well-being and societal structures. "Newer Ideals of Peace" exemplifies Addams's engagement with key contemporary debates regarding war, human rights, and the necessity for empathy in resolving conflicts. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in peace studies, sociology, or the history of social movements. Addams's insights remain remarkably relevant today, inviting readers to consider how ideals of peace can be reimagined to address the complexities of modern society. It serves as a timeless reminder of the power of compassionate action and the essential link between personal ethical choices and collective societal change.

    The Battle For The Jewish State...

    On October 7, 2023, Israel was ambushed by the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas. The attack, underwritten by the Islamic Republic of Iran, unleashed unspeakable terrors on the Israeli population. Most of the world reacted with horror. But many commentators labeled the Jewish people, and Israel as a nation, as oppressors. The Palestinians, according to their Marxist calculus, were the oppressed. 
     
     
     
    A legion of figures in academia, the media, and the United States then declared support for Palestine, the perpetrator of the atrocities. Many American institutions have been indoctrinated and transformed into puppets who propagate hateful antisemitism. Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"? 
     
     
     
    Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process. Rather, it is a broader military and cultural war that must be won for the sake of Israel and the United States.

    The 1985 State of the Union Address delivered February 6, 1985, on Reagan’s 74th birthday, reports the strongest economic growth in 34 years, 3-year inflation of 3.9%, and more citizens working than ever before.  Despite progress Reagan notes “millions in our inner cities who long for real jobs, safe neighborhoods, and schools that truly teach” and people around the world “who struggle to break free from totalitarianism”.  
    “Our economy is not getting older and weaker; it's getting younger and stronger.” Reagan calls for further tax cuts to make America the investment capital of the world. He calls for enterprise zones, rejects policies that break up families and increase dependency, and says that “blacks, Hispanics, and all minorities will not have full and equal power until they have full economic power.” 
    “National security is government's first responsibility”. We “only have a military-industrial complex until a time of danger, and then it becomes the arsenal of democracy.” Reagan advocates the Strategic Defense Initiative against ballistic missiles as “the most hopeful possibility of the nuclear age” and looks forward to “the day when nuclear weapons are banned from this Earth forever.” Some say it will take a long time. The “answer to that is: Let’s get started.” 
    “Many countries in east Asia and the Pacific have few resources other than the enterprise of their own people. But through low tax rates and free markets they've soared ahead of centralized economies.” … “We've seen the benefits of free trade and lived through the disasters of protectionism. Tonight I ask all our trading partners, developed and developing alike, to join us in a new round of trade negotiations to expand trade and competition and strengthen the global economy …”

    I Am the Law - How Judge Dredd...

    He is the law—and you better believe it! 
     
     
     
    Judge, jury, and executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. 
     
     
     
    But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into a searing satire on hardline, militarized policing and "law and order" politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humor acting as a prophetic warning about our world today—and with important lessons for our future. 
     
     
     
    Blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law takes key Dredd stories from the last forty-five years and demonstrates how they provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. 
     
     
     
    From the politicization of policing to "zero tolerance," from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today's "law and order" politics.
