Harlem dudes creative writing MFA degree

A harlem dudes for an MFA degree in Creative Writing? What an LSD trip. Back to School; Feel like a fool; It's just a restless feeling, by my side; Early dawning, Sunday morning, It's just the wasted years so close behind. Watch out the world's behind you; No telling when someone round you, who will call; It's nothing at all. (tune: Sunday Morning, sung by: Nico , band: Velvet Underground) I don't know, is it time to go back to school? To get my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) ? Then I can write the great American novel. What a business, is that a way to make a living? It seems like a long shot, but it's better odds than surviving Obama or winning the lottery. Hope that guy resigns soon, we may not make it to the election...

European Banks and the United States

In an April 14th address, published on LaRouchePAC.com, Lyndon LaRouche pointed to major events in the transatlantic community contributing to two possible outcomes in the near future. “Whether civilization will crash, which is a possibility, or whether there will be a recovery of civilization, this decision will be made largely in Continental Europe, including Russia, and the United States.” He went on to say the latter outcome will depend on breaking through existing, downward trends with new trends and new options. The upcoming April 22nd elections in France could become a breakout situation with the growing influence of French presidential candidate, Jacques Cheminade. Running on the campaign theme: “A world without the City or Wall Street, great infrastructure works for tomorrow,” Cheminade has propelled himself into prominence both in France and internationally, especially with his recent prime-time appearance on two major French media stations, France 2 and TF1, where he discussed his policy of eliminating illegitimate debts through a Glass-Steagall Act, and answered questions on his comparison of U.S. President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. Further, on April 8, Cheminade became the first French presidential candidate to expose the Eurex plan to market new financial instruments speculating against French state bonds. It is more than an election ploy, but an attack “operating out of the City and Wall Street to make France—and more generally all nation-states—crawl.” Cheminade continued, “In front of the expected turbulence and the war the financial markets are declaring on France, our country, thanks to her history and the nature of her institutions, is neither helpless nor unarmed.” He went on to detail how a Glass-Steagall separation of deposit from investment banks, would be a defense against such acts of financial warfare. Outside of these and similar leading policy initiatives, like the proposal for Glass-Steagall in Italy, there has been a failure on the part of the vast majority of European governments, a failure to deal sanely with the Euro crisis, which could break out, triggering a transatlantic and, ultimately, a global financial collapse. That crisis is currently accelerating with the depletion of the already expanded €1 trillion EFSF fund, the tension around ratifications of the ESM, the increasing likelihood of a Spanish default, the May 31st Irish referendum on the Austerity Treaty, and the May 6th Greek elections. In the event Jacques Cheminade were to emerge as a leading candidate in France, with his current platform, La- Rouche noted, “You’re going to have an effect in Spain. The Greek effect, the Italian effect, and the German, are all going to change.” A change in those global components, in tandem with the direction of Russia following their March elections, would have immediate effects on the United States. “A situation where there is a collapse over the control of politics in Europe, will mean a shock effect inside the United States, the hatred of what’s going on in the United States, economically and otherwise, by the number of leading people—still sane people—is such that that combination can change the course of world events. “It could also go the other way.” The contempt the American population has for Barack Obama accelerated over the past week. Supplementing the ongoing efforts of LaRouchePAC, media activists Alex Jones and Sean Stone inaugurated the national Movement to Impeach Obama, focusing on Walter Jones’ House Concurrent Resolution 107, “Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.” There has also been a surge of web activity centered around the LaRouchePAC article “Four Deaths of Obama Opponents a Remarkable Coincidence?” The article questions the statistical likelihood of four political opponents of Obama dying suddenly between the lead-up to the August 2008 Democratic Convention and March 2012.

Bankrupt System Drawing Asia In

The bankrupt London and Wall St system is doing its best to draw Asia in, to loot and steal some more. Such seems to be the main concern of Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs, Energy and Environment Robert Hormats, Hillary Clinton's point-man on economic policy. In a speech Saturday to students at Johns Hopkins SAIS on the development of the Asia Pacific region, Hormats, a former CEO for Goldman-Sachs, indicated that his greatest concern was that countries like China, which had been so successful economically with its "state-directed capitalism," while the Transatlantic "free market system" economies were falling apart, might serve as models for other economies in Asia. In his opinion it was the economic growth of countries like China and India that had increased their overall power, rather than any change on the military or political arena. The formation of the BRICS was an indication of this newly found influence. But it was not fear of China becoming "hegemonic" as a nation in the region that was paramount for him, but rather the influence of their economic system, which he labeled "state-directed capitalism" which represented a real threat. "If we have paralysis in the political decision-making here," Hormats warned, "this affects the way the world views our model as compared to state-directed capitalism. This also relates to what the global system will look like in the future." "The post- World War II system is being questioned," he warned. His solution was to get as many countries as possible to embrace as quickly as possible the free-market system. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), bilateral free trade agreements, pursuing broader free trade within APEC, US- ASEAN trade liberalization, all of these were necessary to win terrain in this battle of the systems. "We have to reach out to those who are like minded," he said. Similarly, however, with China itself. "Parts of the global system they don't want to embrace. They want exceptions to the free market. They want to maintain their competitive advantages. If we are assertive on these issues, we'll have a more fruitful result in negotiating with them over reaching their own goals." But to do that, he said, "we'll have to de

Make the Scene Harlem, at Andrew Freeman House

I want to be at the opening exhibition, I hope I can make it. The old dilapidated Andrew Freeman house on Grand Concourse by east 167th St in the Bronx, NY, is getting a makeover as an Art Center. The exhibition is called something like the other side of Paradise. Take a look at Lehman Gallery, Bronx Museum and Bronx Center for the Arts on this.
