Eastern Europe - First thoughts about

How Socialism Came to America... and Destroyed Detroit In 1961, the last Republican mayor of Detroit, Louis C. Miriani, lost his re-election bid. He probably would have lost to anyone who ran against him because he was known to be a crook. He later served 10 years in prison for tax evasion. The man who defeated him, Jerome Cavanagh, was a Democrat. He ushered in a new kind of politics in Detroit. Cavanagh, who was white, got elected by promising to give Detroit's African American population the civil rights they deserved. But he didn't stop there. Seeing the political advantage to serving this community's interests, he did all he could to bring government benefits and government spending to Detroit's black community. Cavanagh brought socialism to Detroit. Mayor Cavanagh was the only elected official to serve on President Johnson's Model Cities task force. The program was modeled after Soviet efforts to rebuild whole urban areas in Eastern Europe. At the time, this centralized approach to urban development ...

Iranian people (Aryan, Iranic) he Sarmatians emerged in the 7th century BC in a region of the steppe to the east of the Don River and south of the Ural Mountains in Eastern Europe. For centuries they lived in relatively peaceful co-existence with their western neighbors the Scythians. Then, in the 3rd century BC, they spilled over the Don to attack the Scythians on the Pontic steppe to the north of the Black Sea. The Sarmatians were to dominate these territories over the next five centuries. They ranged from the Vistula River in Poland to the Danube.

Had to post this What professional team has the best winning percentage? Answer The greatest ever sports team in ANY sport would have to be the New Zealand All Blacks, rugby's most successful team ever. In over a hundred years of rugby, the All Blacks hold an 84% winning record against all opposition played. They have also won 74% of all test matches played, and hold a winning record against EVERY TEST NATION IN THE WORLD (including the British & Irish Lions, and the World XV). Romania (the best team in Eastern Europe), Canada (the best team in North America), Japan (the best in Asia), and other World Rugby Heavyweights Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Argentina, Samoa, and Fiji have never beaten New Zealand. The average margin when playing the All Blacks is 25-12- that is, they have scored more than twice the amount of points than all opposition combined. New Zealand is so good, that they have never been ranked lower than 3rd on the World Rankings. In 1987, they were crowned the first ever Rugby World Champions ...

Ukraine attracts more than 20 million foreign citizens every year (23.1 million in 2007). Visitors primarily come from Eastern Europe, but also from Western Europe (6.3 million) and USA and Israel and also Canada. The country is the 8th most popular tourism destination in Europe. The country's tourism industry is generally considered to be underdeveloped, but it does provide crucial support for Ukraine's economy. Ukraine does have certain advantages, including much lower costs than other European destinations, as well as visa-free access for most people from Europe, the former Soviet Union, and North America.

The roma question In Europe After some years of the changes the roma communities in Eastern Europe became the segregated and discriminated part of the societies. The causes of these negative forms are the deep economical and sociological transforms which touched not only the roma societies but the society as a whole as well. The economy of the Eastern European states have changed definitely and the quality of the industry and the structure of the economy formed according to the market economy but at the same time the sums of the GDP dramatically reduced. The market economy has sharpened the competition on the labour market and the demand for the qualified workers has grown. That was the first reason about that the roma couldn’t entered on the new labour market. The qualification of the roma workers remained far behind the expectation of the newly appeared labour market, influenced by the competition based on the market economy. On the other hand the qualified work needs fewer workers, so the number of . ...

Yoir Season~~The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. (Song of Songs 2:12 ) We all know that the Berlin Wall fell many years ago. The Berlin Wall was a wall that stood in East Berlin over the ocean in Eastern Europe. It was built by a cruel government to keep its citizens from fleeing to a better life in the free world. In the early days of the Berlin Wall when emotions were still very much on edge and hostility was running high, truckloads of garbage were dumped over the wall from the eastern sector onto the western side. Everyone in West Berlin was outraged at such a terrible deed. The topic of conversation on every street corner, in every home, was how best to get revenge. Then the word went out from Mayor Willie Brandt that every flower, every petal, every bit of green that could be gathered was to be brought to an appointed spot at the wall. Then all that beauty and fragrance was thrown over the wall to the eastern sector. An ...

Guillaume Paturel, French Artist, is an image-maker of world renowned Architecture. In the 1990's, he began his work with the classical use of painting and illustration collage. He presented furniture and scenographic projects at the Biennale de Valencia in Spain in 1992. The young artist graduated from the French École des Beaux Arts in Marseille but as well from the École d'Architecture Paris la Villette in Paris, all in 1993. With the evolution of the virtual world, the Internet and Google map, Guillaume switched mediums and mastered these new tools to create and expand his projects from the Middle East to Eastern Europe. He was honored to participate to the Italian Mostra de Venise film festival in 2002 to show his short story "Valentine", then later in 2003 show his trilogy of short films: "NYC III" at the Locarno film festival in Switzerland. After making more than 3000 digital architectural image projects, Guillaume moved to NYC. His first project in New York was a virtual illustration of the Wor ...

Must Read: "The Communist" by Paul Kengor, Ph.D. "Although other radical influences on Obama, from Jeremiah Wright to Bill Ayers, have been scrutinized, the public knows little about Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, cited by the Associated Press as an “important influence” on Obama, one whom he “looked to” not merely for “advice on living” but as a “father” figure. While the Left has willingly dismissed Davis (with good reason), here are the indisputable, eye-opening facts: Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro–Red China communist. His Communist Party USA card number, revealed in FBI files, was CP He was a prototype of the loyal Soviet patriot, so radical that the FBI placed him on the federal government’s Security Index. In the early 1950s, Davis opposed U.S. attempts to slow Stalin and Mao. He favored Red Army takeovers of Central and Eastern Europe, and communist control in Korea and Vietnam. Dutifully serving the cause, he edited and wrote for commun . ...

I am in the city of Chernivtsy. It is called the little Paris of Eastern Europe. Very beautiful. I went to a rehab yesterday, and it was very interesting. Also I met with pastors today that are interested in CR. They even patterned their church after Saddleback. They told me on the way to the rehab in the hills here that I was looking at Romania in the distance. Love it here. More later.

Communist party at now condition : During the reign of the Soviet Union, there were communist countries throughout Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. Communist countries in the twentieth century included Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Benin, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Congo, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Ethiopia, Hungary, Mongolia, Mozambique, Poland, Romania, Somalia, South Yemen, Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia. Today, there are only five communist countries in the world. 1. China: Mao Zedong took control over China in 1949 and proclaimed China as the People's Republic of China, a communist country. China has remained consistently communist since 1949 although economic reforms have been in place for several years. China has been called "Red China" due to the communist party's control over the country. 2. Cuba: A revolution in 1959 led to the taking over of the Cuban government by Fidel Castro. By 1961, Cuba became a fully communist country and developed close ties to the Soviet Union. 3. Laos: Laos, officially the ...

History of Islam in the Philippines by Btec Batha (Notes) on Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 11:57am History of Islam in the Philippines Source: of Islam How Islam came to Mindanao and Sulu is a complex question that cannot be addressed by a single and simple answer. However, it is a fact of history that after the death of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in 623 AC6 , a general expansion of Islam ensued. Either through missionary efforts or from military victories, the Islamic world expanded to dominate the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe. The spread continued towards the Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia and then to Mindanao and Sulu. That Islam came to the Philippine islands with trade route in a roundabout way is generally accepted by historians. It followed the route that originated from Arabia overland through Central Asia and then overseas to India, China and thence to Southeast Asia and Africa. However, as to which single group - traders, missi ...

(CNN) -- Watching dozens of crazed supporters trying to set fire to a stadium makes you question your love of football. I was standing in Partizan Belgrade's aging ground in Serbia's capital, where a narrow victory over fierce city rivals Red Star had seen the home side clinch the domestic title. It was the most intense and intimidating sporting atmosphere I have ever experienced, with passionate hatred spewing from every direction. We had traveled to Serbia to film for the "World Sport presents: Racism in Football" documentary -- a project that has somewhat taken over my life in recent months. Parts of Eastern Europe have a reputation, rightly or wrongly, for harboring racism; supposedly a hotbed for right-wing groups. When I mentioned to a friend an urge to see for myself, he cheerily suggested going to the "Eternal Derby" as they call it in Belgrade. "You should go and watch Partizan versus Red Star -- it's the most dangerous game in Europe." Read: Year Zero in soccer's racism fight? Tackling racism in ...

Any graphic designers out there want to come up with a logo design for The Caspian Culture Centre? Inbox me - will lead to lots of future work.

June 12, 1987 - "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

We had wonderful trip of Eastern Europe from 20th May to 7th June 2013. We visited Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland. Trip started from Munich and ended at Berlin. We visited all important tourist spots in Salzburg, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw, Prague and Berlin. These places are full of historical Castles, Palaces and Churches apart from Mozart's Birthplace in Salzburg, Flooded Gypsum Mines turned into underground lake with boating in Vienna, Famous Salt Mine at Wieliczka in Krakow, country side scenic beauty all over the place. One has to see it to believe the the atrocities and torture in the Concentration Camps of Auschwitz where innocent persons including children were killed in Gas Chambers, starvation, forced labour,infectious diseases, individual executions and medical experiments. My birthday was celebrated by the group in grand way during our 9 hr long journey from Warsaw to Prague and then with candle and cake cutting with champagne in the restaur . ...

I got to meet and love on my children in Eastern Europe. I hate saying that Lance's needs were just about as bad as they possibly could be. He does not bend or move at all from the neck down. He makes great eye contact and I love him and miss him so much! He will need so much care and I will need so much of God's help to care for him. Elliott on the contrary is doing much better than I could have hoped for! He is not walking or standing on his own, but he can when holding onto something like a walker. He can feed himself and drink from a cup, he tries to repeat so many things and is SMART!!! He told everyone that I was his mama and gave me snuggles to my heart's content. Being in an orphanage for 5 years he will have attachment things that we will work on and physically we have some unforeseen issues with him. He will definitely be needing some surgeries and we anticipate a trip to PA once he's home to get an accurate diagnosis with an AMC specialist. THANK YOU ALL for caring about our little one ...

Medieval science During late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, the Aristotelian approach to inquiries on natural phenomenon was used. Some ancient knowledge was lost, or in some cases kept in obscurity, during the fall of the Roman Empire and periodic political struggles. However, the general fields of science, or Natural Philosophy as it was called, and much of the general knowledge from the ancient world remained preserved though the works of the early encyclopedists like Isidore of Seville. During the early medieval period, Syrian Christians from Eastern Europe such as Nestorians and Monophysites were the ones that translated much of the important Greek science texts from Greek to Syriac and the later on they translated many of the works into Arabic and other languages under Islamic rule.[13] This was a major line of transmission for the development of Islamic science which provided much of the activity during the early medieval period. In the later medieval period, Europeans recovered some ancient ...

Life Is Like A Cafeteria A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked. "Start out at that end," she said. "Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay." "I soon learned that's how everything works in America," the grandfather told a friend. "Life's a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself." Life is like a cafeteria

"Human sacrifices are today still practised by the Jews of Eastern Europe. as is set forth at length by the late Sir Richard Burton in the MS which the wealthy Jews of England have compassed heaven and earth to suppress, and evidenced by the ever-recurring Pogroms against which so senseless an outcry is made by those who live among those degenerate Jews who are at least not cannibals." - Aleister Crowley

June 10, 1916, was the birthday of William Rosenberg, the Boston-born entrepreneur who established the Open Kettle doughnut shop in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1948, which two years later changed its name to Dunkin’ Donuts. Nearly 100 years after his birth, at the end of 2011, there were more than 10,000 outlets of the chain, one of the pioneers in name-brand franchising, in 32 countries. Bill Rosenberg was one of four children born to Nathan Rosenberg, a grocery owner, and the former Phoebe Swart, both Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, and was raised in Boston’s working-class Dorchester section. Growing up during the Great Depression, he found himself leaving school after 8th grade to work. A variety of different jobs led to his driving a route for the Jack and Jill Ice Cream Company, where he steadily advanced, until he became national sales manager at age 21. During World War II, Rosenberg worked at a Boston shipyard, where he both learned the skills of an electrician and became a union leader. ...

ANCIENT RUSSIA! Ancient Russia was not actually "RUSSIA" but an area of migrating Eastern Slavs and the Finno-Ugric people and a collection of many cities that gradually merged into the empire. The people of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland, also known as the Varangians and Scandinavian people, crossed the Baltic sea and made a halt in the Eastern Europe. Rurik, a semi-legendary warrior of Varangians, conducted his people in 862 to the city of Novgorod on the Volkhov river and invested the city. Rurik's successor Oleg of Novgorod stretched out the power of the city towards the south and in 882, he persuaded control of "Kievan Rus", the first united East Slavic state. The state adopted the Christianity from the Byzantine Empire in 988. Kiev became the center of the trade route for furs, wax and slaves between Scandinavian and Constantinople along the Volkhov and Dnieper rivers and 'Kiev Rus' empire came in existence and grew vigorously for 300 years. 989 AD was the time when Oleg's grandson Vladimir Ist ...

Walter Roodney For those of us that have not read how Europe underdeveloped Africa, by the above named author, i have written a summary here and what it means in today's African Economies. the world has accepted, practiced and promoted several economic models for a long time in our history. A lot of these economic models were invented by the West and Americans. Eastern Europe also expressed its creativity in delivering socio-economic models that equally enjoyed wide spread acceptance. But capitalism has been the most successful as well as the most enduring of all models. But clearly, none of these models have been able to successfully deliver on the promise of the fulfilment of the need and aspirations of people around the world. Each of the economic models practiced before now had some great components but all had endemic flaws. In a capitalist system, compelling relevance depends majorly on three things: (1) the amount of personal responsibility the individual is willing to take; (2) the value (skills, ...

One of my American penpals who has visited Hungary 3 times, wrote about us. The title: NOT HUNGRY IN HUNGARY Of all the former Communist bloc nations in Eastern Europe, Hungary was the first country I went to. I was expecting it to be a run down place with grim shades of the Communist era, and dour looking people. On the contrary, it turned out to be a delightful experience, and I went back there another two times! My first trip to Hungary was in April 2005 when I joined a package tour leaving from Geneva, Switzerland to Budapest by EasyJet the well known European budget airline. I traveled to Geneva by train from Bourg en Bresse where I was living at that time. At Geneva airport I met up with the tour group which was mainly made up of elderly Swiss people. As usual, I was the only Asian in the group. After a two hour flight we arrived at Ferihegy International airport which is the main airport of Budapest. I believe it is now known as Ferenc Liszt Intenational airport. A big bus was waiting for us w ...

Lost Egyptian City Found Underwater After 1200 Years Photograph by Franck Goddio / Hilti Foundation / Christoph Gerigk 1,200 years ago the ancient Egyptian city of Heracleion disappeared beneath the Mediterranean. Founded around 8th century BC, well before the foundation of Alexandria in 331 BC, it is believed Heracleion served as the obligatory port of entry to Egypt for all ships coming from the Greek world. Prior to its discovery in 2000 by archaeologist Franck Goddio and the IEASM (European Institute for Underwater Archaeology), no trace of Thonis-Heracleion had been found (the city was known to the Greeks as Thonis). Its name was almost razed from the memory of mankind, only preserved in ancient classic texts and rare inscriptions found on land by archaeologists. The Discovery With his unique survey-based approach utilising sophisticated technical equipment, Franck Goddio and his team from the IEASM were able to locate, map and excavate parts of the city of Thonis-Heracleion, which lies 6.5 kilometre ...

1990 - : Pluralist Globalization Around 1990 huge changes were taking place internationally. The Cold War came to an end, with the collapse of the Soviet empire in 1989 and of the Soviet Union itself in 1991. Expectations were high for the new post-Cold War world, but it soon became obvious that an end to the Cold War did not signal the end of war and conflict. The arms race slowed down considerably, but it still continued in various parts of the world. Old conflicts lingered; many new ones arose. Human rights advanced greatly, with the emergence of new democracies in Central and Eastern Europe, in Latin America and Asia, and even in Africa, but almost half the world's population still lived under some form of dictatorship. The composition of the Norwegian Nobel Committee underwent few dramatic changes in the 1990s. The committee majority again moved left of center in terms of Norwegian politics, with the Labor party having two representatives and the Socialist Left one. After Aarvik's death in 1990, Labo ...

Understanding Neo-Liberalism by Andy Kilmister Over the last 24 years, since the collapse of Stalinism in Eastern Europe, the term ‘neo-liberalism’ has become increasingly used to describe both the national and international strategies adopted by capital. However, Here Andy Kilmister opens up a debate about exactly what we mean by neo-liberalism. I would argue the 'Neo' paradism started in 1979 with the opening up of world markets leading to globalization. Recently, a major theme of the global justice movement has been the struggle against neo-liberalism. However, in many ways, the theoretical understanding of this concept among revolutionary Marxists remains quite limited. This article will consider the following: the elements of neo-liberal strategy, how this strategy can be theorised within Marxism, why it has been adopted by capitalism in the current period and the nature of the internal contradictions within it. It does not aim to give definitive answers but to raise some questions that can feed ...

New World Order Secrecy: Who will be Attending the Bilderberg Meeting? What Will be Discussed Behind Closed Doors? By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, June 06, 2013 Each year, the Bilderberg venue brings together leading members of the financial and corporate elite, politicians, handpicked scholars, journalists and scientists. It is An Anglo-Western European-North American Venue with participants from 21 Western countries (i.e Western Europe, US and Canada).

Four of the dishes from my fabulous dinner party last night; - Pho - Cucumber Salad - Chicken Fricassee - Tabbouleh with Sardinian Fregula _ Cajun Pork Loin Pasta with Yellow Curry And according to my guests, I unleashed a culinary Tour de Force in Lafayette, LA that may not ever have been seen before. One of them, Ms. Ann Delahousaye, of French (not Cajun) origin grew up eating Chicken Fricassee, as it is actually an ancient French dish, first invented in about the year 1300. While Ann was a little taken aback at first when I told her that the Jews apparently modified the recipe after they left France and migrated to Eastern Europe in the 1500s and added meatballs to the dish, when she tasted it, she was astonished at how good it was. and this is my Dad's original Fricassee recipe that his mom brought with her from Russia in the early 1900s.

Varna Festival: Days 5 & 6. My final two days in Varna were filled with events for the International Conference -- officials of theatre festivals and arts agencies from all over Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Czech Rep., Poland, etc) & their American guests discussing their festivals and wondering how to make them better, reach more citizens, etc. American speakers included me, Elena Holy of the NYCFringe Fest, Jim Nicola on NYTW, Tom Sellar from Yale & DP alum Sanaz Ghajirrahimi, who is also in Varna. We all spoke of our response to this festival, and how important we feel it is to meet foreign colleagues to share and learn from each other. Also attending was a delegation from the US embassy lead by Marcie Ries, the new US ambassador to Bulgaria. She was a big theatre supporter as her daughter is a set designer and her mother is an actress. They threw a lovely informal lunch for us all where we got to spend a lot of time discussing art & theatre in Bulgarian, etc. She spent two days there and saw severa ...

Written declaration, under Rule 123 of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, on the threat of drug-resistant tuberculosis to the European region 1. Tuberculosis (TB) costs the European Union EUR 750 million per year and the European region is home to the highest rates of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in the world, accounting for nearly 20 % of the global burden; 2. The World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Office for Europe launched a ‘Roadmap to prevent and combat drug-resistant tuberculosis’ in the WHO European Region for 2011-2015 and estimates that, if not implemented, the economic loss to the region will be USD 12 billion within five years; 3. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has treated 23 000 people for MDR-TB in Eastern Europe and Central Asia since 2002, and there is currently no viable substitute for this fund in the region; 4. The Commission and the Council are hence called upon to back the Global Fund politically and financially, especially in light of its replenis ...

Good work Nick and need lots more innovation to develop the game and business in Russia. 10. NICK SOLSKI Head Golf Professional Zavidova PGA National Russia Promoting golf in places such as Lithuania and Ukraine takes some creative thinking. Golf isn’t all that familiar in Eastern Europe after all. Indeed, according to the website Golf Ukraine, there were no golf courses in Ukraine as little as a decade ago. That’s why Nick Solski had to try some outside-of-the-box ideas to attract golfers to the Superior Golf & Spa Resort in Ukraine, where the PGA advanced pro recently completed a 20-month stint as director of golf. Before that, he promoted the game in Lithuania. Among his ideas while in Ukraine were creating events such as Golf in High Heels, which attracted 100 women, and a whisky-fest tournament, where golfers knocked strokes off their scores by sampling ...

August 1990. Things were looking grim for Mr. Bush and the Establishment. Now that Communism in Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe had surrendered, the Cold War was suddenly over.

The Farce of Political Democracy By Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar Nearly all the countries of the world today have come under some sort of democratic structure. Liberal democracy has been established in such countries as the U.S.A., Great Britain, France and Canada, while in the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam and Eastern Europe socialist democracy is the dominant system. The plight of the people in liberal democratic (so-called democratic) countries is not as miserable as it is in communist countries, because in communist countries the political and economic system is imposed on society by party officials, causing untold human suffering and severe psycho-economic exploitation. Both liberal democracy and socialist democracy may be considered forms of political democracy because these systems are based on economic and political centralization. In all countries where democracy is in vogue today, people have been deceived into believing that there is no better system than political democracy. Political democracy ...

Internship at the Canadian Parliament Through a partnership with the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Program CUPP, the East-West Management Institute (EWMI) Policy, Advocacy, and Civil Society Development in Georgia (G-PAC) Project is offering two internships at the Canadian Parliament to Georgian master's students enrolled in public administration, public policy, and political science programs.

5 Ways to Get the Best Value for Your Travel Dollar by Kristy Alexander With the enormous expense of travel, your travel dollars need to go as far as possible. There are a number of ways to keep travel costs low to allow you more trips and longer stays without straining your budget. Using public transportation instead of rental cars and eating in small restaurants frequented by locals instead of touristy eateries are just two things you can do to stretch that budget. Here are 6 tips for getting the best value for your traveling dollar: 1. Look for Inexpensive Travel Destinations Not all travel destinations are created equally when it comes to price. There are travel destinations that are simply more expensive than others. The economy and popularity of your travel destination often determines its travel costs. If you are traveling for leisure, look for a place that is affordable as well as relaxing and engaging, even if it isn't a trendy vacation spot. Eastern Europe, parts of the Caribbean, Southeast A ...

In the follow-up to our Körber Policy Game "Crisis Management in Eastern Europe" we recommend this article by Carnegie Europe expert Olga Shumylo-Tapiola about the Eastern Partnership summit in November in Vilnius. She states: "The EU will have to rethink what a successful Eastern Partnership would really mean, how to make engagement with governments work, and what additional investment in the region is needed."

After I gave an interview to a smart and funny and engaging journalist from the Bucharest magazine Beau Monde late this afternoon here at my hotel - giving you a shout-out here Robert, great job - I headed to a screening of the ACT UP documentary "How To Survive a Plague" for a lecture hall of political science students at Bucharest University. The US State Dept. payed to have the film subtitled in Romanian for the screening. I also sat on a panel to discuss the film afterwards with two HIV activists here in Romania. One is also an LGBT activist I met last summer in Albania at the LGBT human rights conference for the Balkins and Eastern Europe. The other was a Roma man, I think, who is an activist for those on the fringes of Romanian society even more so than LGBT people - the homeless, sex workers, drug addicts, etc. They both used a term I had only used before for the "mainstream media" - MSM. It was explained to me that it means "men having sex with men," which HIV/AIDS activists prefer here si ...

A Short History Lesson In the years before WWII, Vietnam was ruled by the French. This colony was part of what was known as French Indochina. The communist forces in Vietnam led by *** Chi Minh began a long battle for control against the French. In 1944-45, Eastern Europe was "communized" by the Soviet Union. China over threw its Nationalist government and became communist in 1949. The Korean War was fought to a draw in 1953,leaving North Korea communist but preserving pro-western South Korea. Fidel Castro established a communist state inCuba. Communism, a form of government that takes away the freedoms and rights of the people it governs, was dangerously sweeping across Europe and Asia. The communist Chinese government began funneling captured U.S. weapons used in the Korean War, to the communist Viet Minh troops in Vietnam to battle the French. As a result, in 1955, France gave up its Indochinese Colonies at a peace conference in Geneva Switzerland. Part of the peace agreement caused V ...

That’s what history advises ...” — Barack Obama, May 23 Nice thought. But much as Obama would like to close his eyes, click his heels three times and declare the war on terror over, war is a two-way street. That’s what history advises: Two sides to fight it, two to end it. By surrender (World War II), by armistice (Korea and Vietnam) or when the enemy simply disappears from the field (the Cold War). Obama says enough is enough. He doesn’t want us on “a perpetual wartime footing.” Well, the Cold War lasted 45 years. The war on terror, 12 so far. By Obama’s calculus, we should have declared the Cold War over in 1958 and left Western Europe, our Pacific allies, the entire free world to fend for itself — and consigned Eastern Europe to endless darkness. John F. Kennedy summoned the nation to bear the burden ...

Al’s thought for today. I can’t work Turkey out. I know that Ataturk created a secular society in Turkey after the First World War. How the *** did that come about when for centuries the Turks were forcing Islam upon Eastern Europe with missionary zeal in a truly barbarous way. I understand that the Empire had been crumbling for the previous century but nevertheless how was it that this mission was jettisoned and how could it have been that the Turks accepted a secular state? It seems now that Turkish leaders no wish to impose more of an Islamic State upon its citizens. A further question arises as to the suitability of the Turks joining our wonderful EU

Further information: Pan-Germanism and German question Germania by Philipp Veit (March 1848) Pan-Germanism's origins began in the early 19th century following the Napoleonic Wars. The wars launched a new movement that was born in France itself during the French Revolution. Nationalism during the 19th century threatened the old aristocratic regimes. Many ethnic groups of Central and Eastern Europe had been divided for centuries, ruled over by the old Monarchies of the Romanovs and the Habsburgs. Germans, for the most part, had been a loose and disunited people since the Reformation when the Holy Roman Empire was shattered into a patchwork of states. The new German nationalists, mostly young reformers such as Johann Tillmann of East Prussia, sought to unite all the German-speaking and ethnic-German (Volksdeutsche) people. 1871–1918

Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person/being. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures, and may go back to "prehistoric times", the term vampire was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe, although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism. While even folkloric vampires of the Balkans and Eastern Europe had a wide range of appearance ranging from nearly human to bloated rotting corpses, it was interpretation of the vampire by the Christian Chu ...

***Colonel John O'Connor, one of my very favorite people, passed away this last Memorial Day at the age of 96. If you read his obituary, you will get an inkling of what a great man he was. start with 50 bombing missions in a B-24... They were shot up once, but never shot down. What would they do while flying from North Africa to Eastern Europe to bomb ball bearing plants and so forth?: why, they'd play jazz, of course. Everyone on the crew was a musician, and he'd pilot while playing trumpet. They'd keep the radio intercom open, so the other pilots could enjoy it too. When they were attacked, they'd have to scramble over the string bass in the fuselage of the plane to get to the machine guns. Later, when he was called back into service in Korea, sometimes the advance US troops would sneak into Korean villages... to find John surrounded by the villagers, playing trumpet for them- in many cases, the first time they'd heard jazz. He somehow talked the commander into giving him a Jeep, a wire ...

Romania lies between the Balkans and Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Ukraine and Moldova in the north, Hungary and Serbia to the west, Bulgaria to the south, and in the east, with the Black Sea. In 2002, the oldest remains of modern humans *** sapiens) in Europe were found in the "Cave With Bones" (Peştera cu Oase), near Anina, in present Romania. One of the finds, (a lower jaw), is about 42,000 years old, and has been called "John of Anina". As Europe's oldest remains of *** sapiens, they may represent the first humans who inhabited the continent. The remains are especially interesting, since they exhibit a mixture of archaic, early modern human, and Neanderthal traits. Romania joined the EU on the 1st of January 2007. Between 1994 and 1996, the countries of Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and Bulgaria, filed their applications to join the EU.

Important message from Crime Stoppers, please read... While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check. "There are several things to be aware of ... Gangs and thieves mostly from Eastern Europe are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women)to stop their vehicle and get out of the car. "There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby. "Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the wood ...

In AD70, forces of the Roman general, Titus, breached the walls of Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple. That anchor of Hebrew society and culture was destroyed. In AD325 Constantine declared the doctrine of the Trinity orthodox Christianity, organized the Roman Catholic church, and had the Apostle's Creed was written to enshrine its falsehood. In the same year he changed his mind in favor of Unitarianism. Both are false. 46 years later Germanic tribes crossed the Danube into the Empire, led by the Visigoths. In AD476 at Ravenna, Odovacar, the Herulian, deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last Emperor in the West, marking the traditional end of the Roman Empire. Gradually it faded away -- it did not have a massive fall -- and the spirit of Rome lives on. In AD740, Jews from Babylon converted the Mongol-Turkic Khazars to Talmudic Judaism. These people became the self-styled Jews of Eastern Europe. The German Jew, Deitrich Bronder, in his book, "Before Hitler Came -- An Historical Study" (1975), reveals to what e ...

All you really need is a rudimentary knowledge of the historical record to figure this thing out. After WWII and the destruction of Hitler and the Germans, the only people who ever stood up to them, one of the tribes got Russia and Eastern Europe, and continued on with what Lenin and his band of Communist Jews started in 1917 with the Bolshevik Revolution. By the time they were finished, in 1991 when they collapsed the Soviet Union, they had slaughtered somewhere between 66 million and 130 million white Christians. The other side, the western Masonic Jews, got the U.S. and Western Europe, and here we all are where we are today, on our way to another Jew engineered catastrophe, now that they have robbed us blind. Silly sheep.

In Post-Apocalyptic Russia, borscht eats YOU! Metro Last Light is the sequel to the 2010 game Metro 2033 which is all based on a novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Originally called Metro 2034, its name was changed after publisher Deep Silver acquired the game from THQ which had gone bankrupt since the previous game, which lead to a very questionable business move for the release of this game that I will talk about later in the review. I have not played the first game in this series and I’m not sure why. If you know me, I have a huge fascination with Russia and Eastern Europe and since this game was made by Ukrainians and Russians with the same setting, I should have checked out the Metro series sooner. Metro Last Light is pretty much what I expected Fallout 3 to be. I am not a big fan of Fallout 3 at all which is blasphemous to some people, but when I played Fallout 3, I was expecting a post-apocalyptic shooter which is not what it is at all. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just not for me. Metro, on the othe ...

Immigration policies in the United States in the 1920s From 1880 to 1924, more than two million Eastern Europeans, mainly Catholics, immigrated to the U.S. Of those, immigrants of Polish ancestry were the largest group. During the same period, roughly two million Jews came to the U.S., seeking opportunity and fleeing the political massacre taking place in Eastern Europe. Italian immigration to the U.S. reached its peak of over two million between 1910 and 1920. Immigration quotas passed in the 1920s tended to favor earlier generations of immigrants by giving preference to Northern Europeans. Discriminatory immigration policies aimed at southern and eastern Europeans figured into the quota-based policies of the 1920s. With the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the National Origins Act or Johnson-Reed Act, the U.S. used restrictive immigration policies in the 1920s based on the 1890 proportions of foreign-born European nationalities. Since the 1890 census reflected higher numbers of nort ...

Perhaps in Romania it is easy to have this feeling because there are so many different influences at work and no clear definition of what Romanian really is. Originally part of the Roman Empire, it is, as Hannelore Hahn, the President of the International Women’s Writing Guild (IWWG), points out, “the only country in Eastern Europe that speaks a Romance language. And its major influences on its educational system have been the classics and French culture.” To the west, in and around Transylvania, which once belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there’s a heavy Hungarian influence; to the north, in Moldavia, the culture and traditions tend to lean more toward Russian-Ukrainian. And the southern part of the country, once a possession of the Ottoman Empire, shows a definite Turkish influence. A Gypsy counterculture (for want of a better word) also exists, although that probably isn’t as strong as it was prior to World War II. Of that other perennial counterculture, the Jewish one, little remains ...

SLAYER WELCOMES PAUL BOSTAPH BACK TO THE FOLD. Slayer's Tom Araya and Kerry King are very pleased to announce that Paul Bostaph has rejoined the band on a full-time basis.

All this happened during May's huge solar flare storm that was sandwiched between two powerful eclipses.

(P.S. there are 3 parts) Edgar is "coming out" much further then when I had a nice chat with him in 2000. On this video, they talk about UFOs possibly disarming nuclear weapons.

Perhaps this is an odd note from a pacifist, but if you get the Military Channel on cable (in the NYC area you get it from Time Warner - I don't know about the rest of the country) look for the series on "World At War" on WW II, an excellent, historically accurate series done by BBC, not the US. I know the war is long over, but the programs dealing with the Eastern front, from the Nazi invasion of the USSR to the later struggles, you get a real idea of why the Soviets were so terrified of another war, and why the US - including our political leaders - never really understood why a serious "peace offensive" would have forced the Soviet hand much better than the military threats, NATO, etc. A point, by the way, which the late A.J. Muste made. One can get some sense of the horror of the war for the Soviets. It doesn't matter what our views on Stalinism are (and I'm sharply critical of it) it helps us understand the whole Soviet effort to build a Western security zone - the occupation of Eastern Europe.

So you have a massive crisis across Catholicism, Protestantism, and probably Orthodoxy as well, ...unless those churches can adapt to a different conception of God, one that makes sense to modern educated people."

Cover Story: The Holy Alliance This article originally appeared in TIME Magazine on Monday, Feb. 24, 1992 By CARL BERNSTEIN Only President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II were present in the Vatican Library on Monday, June 7, 1982. It was the first time the two had met, and they talked for 50 minutes. In the same wing of the papal apartments, Agostino Cardinal Casaroli and Archbishop Achille Silvestrini met with Secretary of State Alexander Haig and Judge William Clark, Reagan's National Security Adviser. Most of their discussion focused on Israel's invasion of Lebanon, then in its second day; Haig told them Prime Minister Menachem Begin had assured him that the invasion would not go farther than 25 miles inside Lebanon. But Reagan and the Pope spent only a few minutes reviewing events in the Middle East. Instead they remained focused on a subject much closer to their heart: Poland and the Soviet dominance of Eastern Europe. In that meeting, Reagan and the Pope agreed to undertake a clandestine campai ...

Sister Cathy, members of the Board of Trustees, friends, family and members of the Marian High School Class of 2013, I am honored to have been chosen to address you this evening. Much has changed since I last addressed a graduation ceremony here on Union Avenue. Since 1990, 29 new nations have come into being. Most of these emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union, either directly or indirectly, as nationalist fervor swept Eastern Europe and the Balkans in the early 1990s. Still others, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Samoa, and the Republic of the Fiji Islands have changed their names. Several other new countries, like the Czech Republic and Slovakia, gained independence from other nations. (Information Please ® Database, © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc.) Likewise, in the intervening years since my graduation, Marian asserted its independence from the Archdiocese of Boston, and became its own entity – Marian High School, Inc. “The Marian community welcomes stude ...

Highlight: Out of Khazaria - Evidence for "Jewish Genome" Lacking. Genome Biology and Evolution. 5:75-76. More... Abstract The question of Jewish ancestry has been the subject of controversy for over two centuries and has yet to be resolved. The "Rhineland Hypothesis" depicts Eastern European Jews as a "population isolate" that emerged from a small group of German Jews who migrated eastward and expanded rapidly. Alternatively, the "Khazarian Hypothesis" suggests that Eastern European Jew descended from the Khazars, an amalgam of Turkic clans that settled the Caucasus in the early centuries CE and converted to Judaism in the 8th century.

Havel was a fan of Zappa who had a strong influence on the avant-garde and underground scene in Eastern Europe in the 1970s and 1980s (Czech rock group that was imprisoned in 1976 took its name from Zappa's 1968 song "Plastic People" ) .186 Zappa enthusiastically agreed and began meeting with corporate officials interested in investing in Czechoslovakia. Within a few weeks, however, the U.S. administration put pressure on the Czech government to undo the appointment. Havel made Zappa then a consultant not oficial.187 cultural Zappa also planned to develop an international consulting firm to facilitate business between the former Soviet bloc and the bloc capitalista.188 Most of Zappa's projects came to a halt in 1990, when he was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.

Tushek Renovatio T500 Some events you shouldn't miss, and one of them is the ‘Grand Parade Des Pilotes' through the town of Le Mans on the eve of the 24 Hours race; as the name suggests, the top competing drivers are ferried around in a fabulous array of classic and modern cars around a 2km street route lined with more than 160,000 spectators demanding tyre smoke and autographs. This procession also includes a mouth-watering selection of supercars, and TG was invited to be the first in the world to drive the Tushek Renovatio T500, a newcomer from Slovenia that looks very much at home next to the established exotica from Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Pagani, Spyker and so on. Slovenia? Where's that? Right in the heart of Europe, next to Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Not to be confused with Slovakia. You mean Eastern Europe? Did they formerly build tractors, by any chance? Like Lamborghini, you mean? No. When successful racer Aljosa Tušek retired from competition in 2003, ...

Black Cultures of Eastern Europe and Asia Con't In the 6th century B.C, the first Scythian groups began to enter the region. Two Getae tribes, the Crobyzi and Terizi. In 514 B.C, King Darius I of Persia, subdued the Getae living in the region during his expedition against Scythians living north of the Danube. At about 430 B.C, the Odrysian kingdom under Sitalkes extended its rule to the mouths of the Danube. In 429 B.C, Getae from the region participated in an Odrysian campaign in Macedonia. In the 4th century B.C, the Scythians brought Dobruja under their sway. In 341 B.C, one of their kings, Atheas fought against Histria, which was supported by a Histrianorum rex (probably a local Getic ruler). In 339 B.C, King Atheas was defeated by the Macedonians under King Philip II, who afterwards extended his rule over Dobruja. In 313 B.C, and again in 310–309 B.C, the Greek colonies led by Callatis, revolted against Macedonian rule. The revolts were suppressed by Lysimachus, the diadochus of Thracia, who also b ...

"Sam Zell nominated Mr. Heneghan, who had been chief executive at Equity LifeStyle, as the new CEO. Investors backed that choice, although Mr. Heneghan possessed limited emerging-markets experience. The latest round of departures didn't trigger a 'key man' provision. Garrabrant and Zell formed Equity International in 1999, investing in Eastern Europe, Brazil, Mexico and other developing markets.

The Shrine A journalist, Carmen (Cindy Sampson), is having problems with her relationship with her boyfriend, Marcus (Aaron Ashmore) who is a photographer. Marcus says that although both of them are busy with their respective work, Carmen never seems to stop thinking about it and tends to ignore him. Carmen asks her boss to allow her to to investigate the disappearances of several tourists in the fictional Polish village of Alvania (the letter v is not part of the modern Polish alphabet). The last person to go missing was Eric Taylor (Ben Lewis), the man killed at the beginning of the film. She also mentions that the luggages of all the missing tourists end up being found all around Eastern Europe. Her boss isn't interested in another missing persons case, saying that people go missing all the time and does not give her permission to go. Instead, he would rather have her investigate why a farmer's bees go missing. Carmen and her intern Sara (Meghan Heffern) visit Eric's mother, Laura. Laura tells them tha ...

The Polarizing Practice of Eating Horses Corby Kummer Feb 22 2013, 11:03 AM ET More Dining on horsemeat -- hippophagy -- is culturally and historically significant, for good reason. Christian Hartmann/Reuters Everyone who seriously studies French or Italian food on scholarly (gluttonous) research trips eats horsemeat. Most every village in France, particularly the southwest and northern border regions with Belgium, and in Italy, particularly the northeast around Verona and Venice, will have a butcher shop specializing in horsemeat, marked with disconcerting gilded horseheads over the shop windows revealing trays of bright lean red meat. Anyone who visits Eastern Europe, especially the Stans, is likely to be used into a restaurant whose specialty is horse cuisine. It's a rite of passage, like watching a pig slaughter and eating fresh blood pudding right afterward. So I've had horse tournedos, horse sausage, and horse ragu. Several times. For reasons I'll explain, I wasn't eager to continue th ...

The end is never as satisfying as the journey. To have achieved everything, but to have done so without integrity and excitement, is to have achieved nothing. UNIVERSE. There could be l00 billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy, a US conference has heard. Dr Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution of Science said many of these worlds could be inhabited by simple lifeforms. He was speaking at the annual meeting of the American Associa-tion for the Advancement of Science in Chicago. Telescopes have been able to detect just over 300 planets outside our Solar System. But very few of these are capable of supporting life. WORLD. The UN has warned of a new cocaine trafficking route which has sprung up in the Balkans.

Chicago’s Catholic heart is based in its ethnic diversity. As the Windy City became industrialized in the mid-19th century, immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe flocked to Chicago — joining the already present Irish and Germans — to become part of its workforce. Ethnic communities naturally formed, and ethnic Catholic parishes naturally followed. Today, more than 350 Catholic churches remain, many built in impressive European style. Chicago Three are designated basilicas by the Vatican: Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica in East Garfield Park (home to the National Shrines of Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Peregrine, patron saint of those suffering from cancer); Queen of All Saints Basilica in Forest Glen (the location of the signing of the Treaty of Chicago); and the Basilica of St. Hyacinth (with its 62 relics). Always bustling is St. Peter’s in the Loop, with its seven weekday Masses and confessions every day but Sunday. Beautiful artwork can be found at St. Mary of the Angels Church in Bucktown a ...

At first glance,Jewishfolklore might seem to be an unlikely subjectfor presentation at a folklife festival in northeastern Louisiana. One reason is that the region does not have a large Jewish population. In addition, Judaism is a religion rather than a cultural or ethnic identification, and so any folklore found among a specificgroup of Jewsis neither universal nor generic, but instead reflectssuch other factors as occupation, socio-economic level, or country of ancestral origin. For example, man y foods that are thought to typify secular "Jewish cooking"--such as gefiltefish, borscht, etc.--actually reflect the broader food traditions of Eastern Europe. Jews who immigrated to America from other areas are not necessarily familiar with or fond of these dishes. The practice of Judaism in America does not vary significantly from one part of the country to another, so no religious customs, beliefsor liturgicalmusic can be considered unique to Louisiana. There are, however, some small but notable cultural var ...

Modern Ashkenazi Jews are not the Jews of the Bible! God’s covenant was with Abraham and his biological descendents. Ashkenazi Jews are not semitic and their ancestors were never in Palestine. They are not the descendents of Abraham/Isaac/Israel. They have no right to stay in Palestine. What the Zionists are doing to the Palestinians is called: genocide and ethnic cleansing! Zionist ’666′ Israel is not the Israel of the Bible! It is a LIE! - 1980 Jewish Almanac “Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.” (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3) . The Jewish Encyclopedia: “Khazars, a non-Semitic, Asiatic, Mongolian tribal nation who emigrated into Eastern Europe about the first century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the seventh century by the expanding Russian nation which absorbed the entire Khazar population, and who account for the presence in Eastern Europe of the great numbers of Yiddish-spea ...

Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews represent two distinct subcultures of Judaism. We are all Jews and share the same basic beliefs, but there are some variations in culture and practice. It's not clear when the split began, but it has existed for more than a thousand years, because around the year 1000 C.E., Rabbi Gershom ben Judah issued an edict against polygamy that was accepted by Ashkenazim but not by Sephardim. Who are Ashkenazic Jews? Ashkenazic Jews are the Jews of France, Germany, and Eastern Europe and their descendants. The adjective "Ashkenazic" and corresponding nouns, Ashkenazi (singular) and Ashkenazim (plural) are derived from the Hebrew word "Ashkenaz," which is used to refer to Germany. Most American Jews today are Ashkenazim, descended from Jews who emigrated from Germany and Eastern Europe from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. The pages in this site are written from the Ashkenazic Jewish perspective. Who are Sephardic Jews? Sephardic Jews are the Jews of Spain, Portugal, North Africa and t ...

The Eastern Orthodox Churches trace their roots back to the Apostles and Jesus Christ. Apostolic succession established the seats of Patriarchy (for example see the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem). Orthodoxy reached its golden age during the high point of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire, taken over by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Serbian Orthodox Church before it continued to flourish in Russia after the Fall of Constantinople. Numerous autocephalous churches have been established in Eastern Europe and Slavic areas.

Was reading the 13th Tribe by Werner Koestler and i read this: PG. 14) Probably AD.740, the king, his court, and the military ruling class embraced the Jewish faith, and Judaism became the state religion of the Khazars. PG. 15) What is in dispute is the fate of the Jewish Khazars after the destruction of their empire, in the twelfth or thirteenth century. On the problem the sources are scant, but various late mediaevil Khazar settlemetns are mentioned in the Crimea, in the Ukraine, in Hungary, Poland and Lithiuania. The general picture that emerges from these fragmentary pieces of information is that of a migration of Khazar tribes and communities into those regions of Eastern Europe - mainly Russia and Poland - where, at the dawn of the modern age, the greatest concentrations of Jews were found. PG. 16) This has led several historians to conjecture that a substantial part, and perhaps the majority of eastern jews - and hence of WORLD JEWRY - might be of Khazar, and not of Semitic origin. PG. 19) An Arm . ...

He has identified 800 of an estimated 2,000 sites in Ukraine alone. At each site, he is collecting artifacts and video testimonies from eyewitnesses, many of whom are speaking publicly for the first time.

Has Socialism Failed? 1. Introduction Socialism is undoubtedly in the throes of a crisis greater than at any time since 1917. The last half of 1989 saw the dramatic collapse of most of the communist party governments of Eastern Europe. Their downfall was brought about through massive upsurges which had the support not only of the majority of the working class but also a large slice of the membership of the ruling parties themselves. These were popular revolts against unpopular regimes; if socialists are unable to come to terms with this reality, the future of socialism is indeed bleak. The mounting chronicle of crimes and distortions in the history of existing socialism, its economic failures and the divide which developed between socialism and democracy, have raised doubts in the minds of many former supporters of the socialist cause as to whether socialism can work at all. Indeed, we must expect that, for a time, many in the affected countries will be easy targets for those aiming to achieve a reversion ...

JEWS IN U.S. POLITICS In New York City, while the German Jewish community was well established 'uptown', the more numerous Jews who migrated from Eastern Europe faced tension 'downtown' with Irish and German Catholic neighbors, especially the Irish Catholics who controlled Democratic Party Politics[26] at the time. Jews successfully established themselves in the garment trades and in the needle unions in New York. By the 1930s they were a major political factor in New York, with strong support for the most liberal programs of the New Deal. They continued as a major element of the New Deal Coalition, giving special support to the Civil Rights Movement. By the mid-1960s, however, the Black Power movement caused a growing separation between blacks and Jews, though both groups remained solidly in the Democratic camp.[27] While earlier Jewish immigrants from Germany tended to be politically conservative, the wave of Jews from Eastern Europe starting in the early 1880s, were generally more liberal or left wing ...
