Obama says Russia on wrong side of history, urges Congress to pass Ukrainian aid package

Screenshot of President Obama’s White House comments

In comments delivered at the White House early Monday afternoon, President Obama reiterated his view that Russia’s actions in Ukraine represent a violation of law and said that his “interest is seeing the Ukrainian people determine their own destiny.”

President Obama recognized the fact that there are many Russians in Ukraine, but pointed out that there also many Ukrainians in Russia. Those interests could be reconciled, he said, “but what cannot be done is for Russia, with impunity, to put its soldiers on the ground and violate basic principles are recognized around the world.” Obama said “the strong condemnation” of Russia by the international community “indicates the degree to which Russia is on the wrong side of history on this.”

Obama said that if Russia continues, the U.S. would lead a global push to “isolate” Russia and weaken its economy beyond steps already taken with respect to suspending plans for the G-8 summit planned for Sochi this summer. Obama tried to give Putin a way out by offering to support a mechanism to guarantee the safety of Russians in Ukraine, but said that if Russia presses forward with military action it would, over time, be “a costly proposition.”

Obama, who reiterated America’s support for the new Ukrainian government, also sent a message to Congress, calling on them to pass an aid package for Ukraine when they return from vacation. “I’ve heard a lot of talk from Congress about what should be done, what they want to do,” he said.

“One thing they can do right away is to work with the administration to help provide a package of assistance the Ukranian people in that country. When they get back in, assuming the weather clears, I would hope that would be the first order of business, because at this stage there should be unanimity among Democrats and Republicans that when it comes to preserving the principle that no country has a right to send in troops to another country unprovoked, we should be able to come up with a unified position.”

Why the Sochi Olympics are the most expensive in history

posted on Feb, 9 2014 @ 09:13 AM

I just finished watching this short documentary regarding the Sochi games. 4x the 12 B budget, displaced families, commandeered farm lands for 5 star hotels, homeless forced out of the city, large scale contractor corruption and more. I understand what a dream it is for young athletes to partake in the Olympics but at what cost?

In 2010 when the Olympic committee came to Vancouver, they commandeered an entire parking garage in Whistler to be used for only VanOc employees. Business in town were immediately affected. Roads in downtown Vancouver were blocked, reserved only for VanOC. The new ‘Sea to sky’ highway, which cost 3.5 Billion dollars, was not permissible by car. You had to take a bus which didn’t even stop anywhere along 125 km stretch of the highway. Communities along the way did not reap any rewards from this. Nothing. In fact, they lost. Also, the Olympic Village put Vancouver in the hole 1B over budget and left us to pick up the tab.

So what’s the purpose of the Olympics anyway? I see it nothing more than a money grab for those who are privileged enough to be a part of this overly inflated circus. Families are destroyed, livelihoods are lost, houses are bulldozed and farmlands are torn up. All for three short weeks of games. Who’s going to use those 5-star hotels after the games are gone? You?

The dignity of the victim.*

More than three-quarters of today’s Americans – both black and white — have no recollection of the Civil Rights Movement in this country.  Those who believe they know its history are under the misconception that it began with Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in 1955, or that it began with Dr. Martin Luther King’s involvement. 

During my long and involuntary hiatus from all-things-computer last fall, I reread two books stuffed into my overflowing and totally disorganized office bookcase.  Once again, I was struck by the depth and quality of the authors’ research, and the wealth of unbiased information contained between the covers.

While most everything written on the Civil Rights Movement is told from the African-American perspective, Jason Sokol’s excellent book, There Goes My Everything: White Southerners in the Age of Civil Rights, 1945-1975, meticulously recounts how whites in the southern states faced the upheaval to their way of life that integration would bring.   They were terrified by the whole concept of equality for their fantasy world of our happy Negroes.  After all, colored people were inferior; everyone knew that!  Everyone knew it, of course, because they had been raised to believe it.

 
For me, the most powerful fifteen words in Sokol’s book were these: The differences between “blackness” and “whiteness” are socially constructed, with no basis whatsoever in biology.  I say powerful because equality-for-all proponents have tried for years to find words to counter the racist argument that the Negro is somehow substandard to the Caucasian.  This social construction began, of course, when wealthy plantation owners saw their indentured servants earn their freedom and were no longer obligated to work for free.  The solution to this problem of labor turnover was solved by the Colonists ability to obtain — as legal property — kidnapped Africans.  Because no gentleman of good breeding could ever enslave an equal, the (by European standards) un-Christian, uncultured, uneducated, and uncivilized Negroes were the solution.  Clearly, these were inferior people who were only suitable for back-breaking labor that plantations required.  The women were useful has house-help and breeding, much like livestock, to provide a continual source of slaves.  The white economy of the south required it.

As if imbedded in their individual DNA, successive generations of white southerners perpetuated the myth that Blacks were a lesser race, and were unfit to mingle with the pallid class. 

When civil rights protests began across the south, whites were at first perplexed, then indignant, and then rebellious.  The mere idea of having their way of life disrupted and threatened by those inferiors was, in most cases, more than they could endure.

It was an immensely challenging period for the South and its collective psyche.  Most whites ultimately adapted to the new world, albeit reluctantly.  And some of course, never gave up their favorite illusion that The Old South Will Rise Again.  (Spoiler: It didn’t.)

The Race Beat: The Press and the Civil Rights Movement

 

It took a long time for the national press to get involved in the struggle for equality.  Few people outside Alabama, for instance, knew that a colored seamstress named Rosa Parks had sparked a successful boycott of the Montgomery public transit system.  And prior to readingGene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff’s great book, The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation, I was unaware that there had been a vibrant Negro press for years before the historic effort for civil rights began.

There are reasons Americans were uninformed, of course.  Few people outside of big cities read national newspapers, preferring the local daillies or weeklies for their news; the TV networks focused on Washington politics in their limited news time-slots; and, of course, there was no Internet.  There was also an unspoken agreement between southern print media that there would be limited or no coverage of these silly little protests because they actually did not want the attention from outside that giving the issue publicity would bring.  The northern print media considered the whole matter a local problem, and of no concern to their readers.

Peaceful demonstrations against school segregation across the South

While northern media did report on the some school segregation demonstrations and protests, and ultimate integration of several school systems, after the drama was over the journalists went home.

The authors report on a black woman who, in 1956, was accepted at the University of Alabama.  Her first day on campus went smoothly; the next three days did not.  She was pushed, shoved, cursed at, screamed at, threatened and spit on by white students.  For her own safety, university authorities suspended her.  Her poise during these verbal and physical attacks moved one reporter to write, *What is this extraordinary resource of this otherwise unhappy country that it breeds such dignity in its victims?

When the violence against protesters began, the southern states got exactly what they didn’t want: national exposure.  It was no longer a local problem; by then the large print media — and television — were reporting the movement on a daily basis, and America was horrified and outraged.  It was the beginning of the end of segregation.

Many civil rights heroes would never become icons of the movement; that would be left to the well known names of the era.  But they deserve our recognition and our appreciation.  Without their sacrifices, a certain man born during this movement would never have had an opportunity to become President of the United States.
