Myanmar and Why They Should Fear the "West"
PEJ News - Pablo Ouziel, Justice Editor - In the chaotic "west" it is often difficult to gain the attention of the public, but one must be committed to trying due to the severity of our current existential crisis. We are psychotic as a society, we have become so dumb and manipulable that we are truly being led towards digging our own grave and smiling while working. We cannot go on like this. We cannot pretend that we are a decent society with good intentions any longer. We are not! The "west" as a civilization is corrupt and decrepit, "we" are not the bearers of morality in the eyes of the "other" peoples. We are not an exemplary civilization which people admire and adulate. We are too arrogant and ignorant to realize, that we are seen by the "others" like the enemy, because "we" are. www.PEJ.org

Thoroughbred Racing: Whipped to the Finish
PETA - Jennifer O’Connor - Last year while racing at California’s Bay Meadows track, 4-year-old gelding Imperial Eyes took a wrong step and broke down in the deep stretch. Jockey Russell Baze, the winningest jockey in thoroughbred racing history, whipped the stricken horse to a second-place finish. Imperial Eyes had suffered a broken leg and was euthanized. Baze was assessed a small fine and suspended from racing for two weeks. www.PETA.org

Opossums: Mother Nature’s Clean-Up Crew
PETA - Carla Bennett - Opossums don’t get any respect. The Rodney Dangerfields of the wildlife world were recently featured in a Wall Street Journal article that touted the pelts of New Zealand opossums as “eco-fur” because opossums are allegedly overpopulated in Kiwi country. Ironically, opossums’ bad rap has actually served them well in this case—just the word “opossum” is enough to make people recoil in revulsion from a muff made of marsupials. Score one for beady black eyes and a bald, pink tail. www.PETA.org

Kick Starting WWIII Neocon Style
PEJ News - chycho - The latest accusations by the United States against Syria, seven months after an Israeli air raid in northeastern Syria, should be taken very seriously by the world community. Not because of the validity of the allegations, but because those who are making the accusation have proven that irrelevant of fact or fiction, war is the agenda. News has surfaced that Vice President Dick Cheney, who recently warned his allies of impending war in the Middle East and who also opposes diplomatic dealings with North Korea was “‘ behind (the) Syrian reactor claim.’” This is the same man who was allegedly in charge of the recent B-52 Incident in the United States where “a B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with six nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation.”

Harper weeps for ducks in the oil sands; NAFTA articles ignored and international norms violated
PEJ news - Joan Russow - Global Compliance Research Project - After the duck die-in in the oil sands ponds, Harper proclaims that in producing oil in the oil sands, Canada must become a global environmental leader!!!. Production in the oil sands violates both articles in the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA, and international norms. NAFTA and SPP must be declared null and void, for violating significant provisions in NAFTA and international peremptory norms, and all further exploration in the oil sands must cease. No "carbon credits" can absolve Canada from its obligations.

Will the ‘Oprah Effect’ Send Puppy Mills Packing?
PETA - Heather Moore - While watching Oprah’s exposé on puppy mills earlier this month—a show that she dedicated to her beloved dog Sophie—I thought about all the darling dogs who’ve shared and enhanced my own life. Muffin, a treasured terrier mix my family adopted from a Baltimore pound. Jake, a gentle Brittany spaniel found wandering the streets of New Jersey—with a BB lodged in his leg—and put up for adoption by a breed rescue group. And Carly, my little diva, saved from a laboratory in Ohio by a kind-hearted soul. These dogs didn’t come with “papers”; they came with unconditional love, loyalty and a genuine zest for life. With so many sweet, lovable dogs in animal shelters, on the streets and in abusive situations, it’s hard to comprehend why some people still buy animals from pet stores or breeders. www.PETA.org

A Short Jeremiad to the US Election Process
Fastened To A Dying Animal
A Short Jeremiad Regarding That Affront to the Nation's Dignity Known as the US Election Process
PEJ News - Phil Rockstroh - Here in this crumbling empire once known as the American republic, here in a nation that, at present, for all practical purposes, only produces Cheetos and killer drones, whose architecture is being winnowed
down to thriving rural meth houses and foreclosed upon suburban mchouses, whose corrupt corporate culture has bequeathed upon our suffering planet dying oceans and the hyper-caffeinated tsunami of Red Bull Capitalism -- the essential question confronts us -- how does one retain (not retail) one's humanity amid the catastrophic machinery and inane accouterment of our age?
