March 12, 2006 - (Double Header) - Sphere of Influence // Thomas Berry: The Great Story
(Sphere of Influence) Hank Kaminsky is the artist who created Fayetteville's World Peace Prayer Fountain. This fascinating documentary chronicles the creation of a unique monument which glorifies the spirit of global peace, rather than conflict - from its inception, through sculpting and casting, to its public unveiling. Show Time: 30 Minutes
(Thomas Berry: The Great Story) As a pioneer in the field of spirituality and ecology, Thomas Berry has created a quiet revolution. He is a monk, a cultural historian, an author, a teacher, and a mystic. The film opens displaying the beauty of the natural world as Berry unfolds the story of creation. He sees his life work as waking us up to that sacred story. He calls us "mad" for the way we are despoiling our home, our planet, its beauty, and its living systems. He is a force that reminds us that we are living through the greatest extinction spasm of the past 65 million years. We are the ones responsible. Berry urges us to change our ways. Show Time: 45 Minutes

FAYETTEVILLE, NWA, ARKANSAS
FORGIVENESS
Mr. Navarro murdered Mr. Edwards.
Joyce Holman, Edwards' sister, told The Morning News on Sunday that the family was satisfied with the jury's recommendations [life without parole].
"Overall our family is satisfied that these men, who have shown such a disregard to the value of a human life, will not have the opportunity to hurt anyone else outside of prison walls," she said. "I also feel the need to reiterate our deep sympathy to the Navarro and Chavez families. We have known several of the Chavez family members for many years and have had the opportunity to personally exchange our sympathies and regrets for these tragic events."
Holman said the family was trying to set aside the feelings they have about Navarro and Chavez and realize their families also have experienced loss.
"David Edwards would have been the first one to forgive the defendants," she said.
FPL Adds Human Rights Video On Sudan. The National Video Resources (NVR) recently added a highly acclaimed feature documentary, “The Lost Boys of Sudan” to the Fayetteville Public Library Human Rights Video Project collection. “Lost Boys of Sudan” directed by Megan Mylan and Jon Shenk, won an Independent Spirit Award, and has screened theatrically in 70 cities across the U.S. to strong audience and critical praise. It was broadcast nationally on the PBS series P.O.V. and earned two Emmy nominations. “Lost Boys of Sudan” follows two Sudanese refugees on an extraordinary journey from Africa to America….

PEACE STORIES
TMN continues its war stories campaign as part of its ongoing grassroots militarism. Let us tell peace stories. Send to Dick, jbennet@uark.edu, approx. 500 words, with Peace Stories in the subject line. I would be glad to have a supporting committee. Are there only war stories to be told, warriors to be praised?
XNA AIR POLLUTION?

THE WAR/OUR DELEGATION
It is not too late to call the Capitol Hill Switchboard toll free at 888-355-3588 and ask to speak to your Representative and your Senators. Give them this message (or in your own words):
"I strongly oppose the war in Iraq. I want all our troops brought home safely, without delay. I urge Representative or Senator X to vote against the President's $72.4 billion 'emergency' supplemental request for the war." Please forward widely! Not One Penny More for War! Call Congress toll-free: 888-355-3588 (If you have trouble with the 888 number, try the direct number: 202-224-3121.) President Bush has asked Congress for another $72 billion for his immoral war in Iraq. Congress has the power to cut off the money for the war and bring the troops safely home.Congress will decide in the next week or two whether to keep giving Bush all the money he wants to continue the violence, or they can cut him off and end the war. Members of Congress are afraid to vote to take a stand -- they need to hear from their constituents, so pick up the phone and give them a call today. Unless Congress votes to end the war, the fourth year of fighting will begin on March 19. The costs so far .
¥ over 28,000 Iraqi civilian lives (and some estimates
are as high as 100,000 lives)
¥ over 2,250 U.S. military lives
¥ over 4,000 Iraqi police and military deaths
¥ over 16,500 U.S. troops wounded in combat
¥ $251 billion spent to date
¥ $1.3 trillion estimated long-term bill
Call your Representative and Senators at 888-355-3588 today, and tell them: Not one penny more for war!
GRASSROOTS MILITARISM: Hammerschmidt
Cong. Boozman has introduced legislation to name a post office in honor of former Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt in Harrison. “This is an attempt to show our appreciation for his service to Arkansas…” said Cong. Boozman. Well, Hammerschmidt was a notorious militarist, supporting hundreds of military initiatives and appropriations during his long tenure in office. I have kept the records; do please read them, and then protest to Boozman; though B. has carried on H’s militarism, let’s not allow him to think everybody approves of naming OUR post office for a militarist.
HUMAN PRIORITIES
HEALTH
---“…hospitals providing care to the sstate’s Medicaid population racked up more than $64.1 million in losses in 2004.” “Lawmakers Eye Medicaid Losses,” TMN (2-24).
---“Many paiteints with serious mental problems are languishing today in local jails throughout Arkansas….” “Court Case Shows Need for New Mental Facilities,” ADG (1-22).
---Juvenile psychiatric patients being treated out of state. “Legislator: Reduce Transfers,” MN (2-22).
HUNGER
“…NEARLY 11 PERCENT OF Arkansas’ 2.3 million people receive emergency food assistance, a problem…particularly hard on children and the elderly.” “Report Profiles Hunger in Arkansas.” TMN 2-24).
CHILD PROTECTION
Need for better assistance to lchildren whose parents have been arrested. “Advocates Target Kids of Inmates,” ADG (1-13).
CHILD EDUCATION
Wal-Mart gave Rogers Prekindergarten program $1.8 million because prekindergarten “helps children with reading, writing, and social skills.” And the rest of the state? Education not universal but dependent upon charity?
PREVENTING PREGNANCY
”Study Ranks Arkansas 24th in Pregnancy Commitment,” TMN (3-1): Ark. that weak in its “efforts to serve women in need of contraceptive services, the allocation of public funds for family planning, and laws and politices that promote access to contraceptive information and services.”
BUT WHAT ARE OUR LEADERS’ PRIORITIES?
“Progress of Roads Lawmakers’ Focus” (ADG (1-12). “Interstate Extension a Priority” (TMN 3-1).
“Athletics Spending Varies,” MN (2-26). “Arkansas public schools spent at least $85.9 million for athletics programs last year….” Brenda Blagg, “Athletic Spending at Issue,” TMN (3-1, 7A).

PEACE,LANGUAGE, and CRITICAL THINKING: THE HARM OF “ALL”
At the U of Calif., Irvine, during a forum on religions, Rev. Jesse Peterson, foundere of the Brotherhood of Organization of a New Destiny, “said that Islam was an ‘evil religion’ and all Muslims hate America.” (TMN 3-2). Will you join me in eschewing henceforth, or at least in being extremely cautious in the use of, the word ALL? The word glosses over the enormous diversity of individuals (and in other species too). Overgeneralizations can become even genocidal. All Jews…… Indians…

WAR AND IRAQ WAR
---WAR GENETIC? WAR INEVITABLE?
---Fry, Douglas. The Human Potential for Peace: An Anthropological Challenge to Assumptions about War and Violence. Oxford UP, 2006. www.oup.com, www.amazon.com Fry shows how implicit assumptions, research methodology, and interpretations of evidence often reflect an underlying cultural bias that war is natural. In fact, humans possess strong abilities for preventing and limiting aggression and for resolving conflicts nonviolently. Fry proposes an innovative evolutionary interpretation of human aggression that balances the human capacity for violence with the human potential for conflict resolution.
---“Study Finds Babies Altruistic,” by Lauran Neergaard (AP), TMN (3-3). “…the capacity for altruism emerges as early as 18 months of age.” This altruism study reinforces the case for inherent peacemaking within us.
---“Origin of Aggression: The Other Story,” FSTV rept. On U of Montreal 2005 study. Scientists know now that the brain is dual regarding aggression—one part of the brain producing anger and aggression, another (pre-frontal cortext) containing and redirecting away from violence. Physical violence innate but also we are programmed to curb anger and aggression beginning around age 2, and the pre-frontal cortext can be strengthened through proper care. Some people do not learn alternatives to violence, and this is shown by an undeveloped pre-frontal cortext. Emphasizes thorough pre-natal and pre-kindergarten care. A film for all parents and prosecuting attorneys to see.

MOTIVES OF INVASION OF IRAQ: ASK OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO VOTE NO
GET OUT OF IRAQ
“Shocking and Awful” film by Deep Dish TV (www.deepdish.org) , includes “Empire and Oil.”
--CIVILIANS BEING KILLED in IRAQ
“Civilian Death Rate High in Iraq” by Robert Reid (AP) in TMN (3-3, p. 2B). “Toll More Than Double Country’s Soldiers, Police Combined in 2005.” 4,024 killed; 6,211 wounded. (Figures differ according to sources; these come from the Iraqi government.) You might thank TMN for giving this information, and at the same time ask them to give regular reports along with their regular editorial page reports of U.S. soldiers killed.
--$$COST OF THE IRAQI WAR:
Iraq war is costing $100,000 per minute
February 3, 2006 By Mark Mazzetti and Joel Havemann
Los Angeles Times. WASHINGTON — The White House said Thursday that it plans to ask Congress for an additional $70 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, driving the cost of military operations in the two countries to $120 billion this year, the highest ever.
Most of the new money would pay for the war in Iraq, which has cost an
estimated $250 billion since the U.S. invasion in March 2003.
The additional spending, along with other war funding the Bush
administration will seek separately in its regular budget next week, would push the price tag for combat and nation-building since Sept. 11, 2001, to nearly a half-trillion dollars, approaching the inflation-adjusted cost of the 13-year Vietnam War.
For the complete article:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2002780385_spending03.html
---FSTV 3-2 showed a film by a former US soldier in Iraq (now a CO) who recounted the bigoted and brutal misconduct by U.S. soldiers there. (I started watching after the video’s commencement so I did not get title or name of the soldier, but see its sponsor: www.notinourname.org).
---“Weapons of Mass Deception” by Danny Schechter, on FSTV and OMNI’s VIDEO UNDERGROUND on same day 2-26! In an hour and a half the film traces how mainstream TV made the invasion of Iraq possible. Based upon Schechter’s book: Embedded: Weapons of Mass Deception. (For FSTV schedule of coming videos type free speech tv in google). A tiny but important part of the film asks why, in addition to power supporting power, was TV so subservient to the Bush Admin., and pinpoints the big media companies’ desire more profits by ridding themselves of all regulation against monopoly.
---Naomi Klein, “A Canadian Perspective,” interview by David Barsamian. US losing the war but Iraqi people not winning, so US should focus not only on withdrawal but on reconstruction and reparations.
TORTURE
http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/resources/torture/cohn.html Excellent essay by a professional historian.
“Torture for Dummies” on FSTV (by Termite TV I thinkj).
CONSEQUENCES OF WAR AND IRAQI WAR: SUBVERSION OF BILL OF RIGHTS
SPYING ON CITIZENS
FSTV, “Democracy Now” interview of Liz McIntyre, author of Spychip, about Radio Frequency ID (RFID)for identifying every manufactured item and people.
PATRIOT ACT AND WARRANTLESS SEARCHES
FSTV/Sourcecode (www.ccr.org, Center for Constitutional Rights) analyzed Section 213 of the PA, allowing FBI to enter your house without you knowing. www.reformthepatriotact.org
CENSORSHIP
Reported by Amy Goodman on “Democracy Now” (weekdays 7a.m. and weekends 5p.m.via FSTV on CAT Ch. 18). A Veterans Affairs nurse in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Laura Berg, was investigated for sedition after she wrote a letter to a local newspaper criticizing the Bush administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq war. http://www.democracynow.org/
TERRORISM, PATRIOT ACT, DISSENT, FREE SPEECH
From FSTV (see www.ccr.ny.org): A program by SourceCode focused on Section 802 of the Patriot Act which criminalizes dissent by defining it as domestic terrorism. Example: indictment of 11 environmentalist from Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front as “terrorists,” which could result in life imprisonment. FSTV also showed a film about the origin of Earth First with Edward Abbey in opposition to the military industrial imperial complex. And another on the Ruckus Society (www.ruckus.org), a group using innovative ways to express dissent.
RELIGION AND POLITICS
“Christianity: The Rise of the Right,” by Liberty News (FSTV), on theocratic power in US that supports war and corporations, and foresees Armaggedon when finally evil will end and the few good people transported to heaven. Jerry Fallwell the chief spokesman. Jimmy Carter the voice of moderate Christianity.

GAYS
--For current LGBT news watch FSTV Saturdays, “Gay USA” with Amy Northrop.
--Bigoted discrimination by Boy Scouts of America. Contact: Scouting for All http://www.scoutingforall.org/ Last month, President Bush signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (H.R.1815), which was passed by Congress in the final hours before its Christmas recess. Before the final passage of this bill, however, supporters of the policies of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) that discriminate against gay and atheist youth and adults slipped into the bill the so-called "Support Our Scouts Act of 2005" (Section 1073).
MEDIA
---FREE SPEECH TV (www.freespeech.org, www.action.freespeech.org)
Every time I watch FSTV I also scan the regular channels, and what increasingly strikes me is how much mainstream TV depoliticizes and therefore demobilizes viewers, how it systematically prevents viewers from being informed citizens actively working to change and improve society. The main content as you skim the channels is advertising, each of which promotes US capitalism. The 2 film channels are predominately soap, light comedy, melodrama, romance, and violence. The programs generally affirm the status quo. I’m thankful for FSTV—for Liberty News, for SourceCode, for Democracy Now.
---“Air America Radio.” Find a station at www.ringoffireradio.com or 866-389-fire. Stephanie Miller 6am, Al Franken 9am., Ed Schultz noon, Randi Rhodes 3pm, The Majority Report 7pm.
---“Network,” directed by Sidney Lumet in 1976, seems even more prophetic today, the “pre-eminent satire about the encroachment of entertainment values into TV news.” Article by Jake Coyle (AP) TMN (2-26)
