Obama Opts Out of Public Campaign Funding
PlusObama Opts Out of Public Campaign FundingObama Opts Out of Public Campaign FundingThe Associated PressBarack Obama is opting out of public campaign financing for the general election, reversing his earlier stance of public funds. Obama is the first major candidate to forgo public financing. (June 19)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Democratic presidential nominee and fundraising powerhouse Barack Obama is opting out of the public financing system for the general election.SOTBarack Obama This means we'll be forgoing more than $80 million in public funds during the final months of this election. It's not an easy decision, and especially because I support a robust system of public financing of elections. Obama is the first candidate to forgo public funds since new financing rules went into affect in the 1970s.Last year, Obama said he would accept public financing if his Republican opponent agreed to do the same.But as Obama broke multiple fundraising records during the primary season, he began to back away from that pledge. SOTBarack Obama (from Feb 27) "If I am the nominee, then I will sit down with John McCain and make sure that we have a system that is fair for both sides."The A-P's Jim Kuhnhenn says there's little evidence that Obama tried to reach a public financing agreement with Republican John McCain.SOTJim Kuhnhenn/The Associated (2:45)"best we can tell, there was a meeting betweens Sen. Obama's lawyers and Sen. McCain's lawyers. It seemed to be a perfunctory meeting. The issue came up, but there was little negotiation, and certainly Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain, to the best of our knowledge have not discussed the issue.McCain has taken steps to accept public funds for the general election. He's criticizing Obama for backtracking, a hit the Obama campaign seems willing to take.SOTJim Kuhnhenn (6:57)"they have known for months that they would take a hit on this decision, but that it would be a short-lived hit. The public has very little interest on the issue of campaign finance." Had Obama taken public funds, he would have received about 84-million dollars to spend between the end of August and the November election.Kuhnhenn says its likely Obama can raise more than that on his own. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

Culture in Danger (Culture en Péril, with subtitles)
***IMPORTANT NOTE: To see subtitles, you need to turn the captions "on" by clicking on the arrow button at the bottom right of the screen, then hover over the CC symbol and turn the captions "on". Thanks.***
This video was created by a few Québec artists to denounce the cuts in cultural funding by the Conservative governement, led by Stephen Harper. This version includes english subtitles.
When Beau Dommage's Michel Rivard visits a newly formed governmental committee overseeing cultural financing, language gaps and cultural misunderstandings abounds, mostly when Rivard plays his classical song, "La Complainte du Phoque en Alaska" (The Complaint of the Seal in Alaska)...
***I received a message from the original creators, so I assume it's accepted that my subtitled version doesn't interfere with their intellectual property.***

Seymour Hersh on U.S. funding Lebanon and Gaza violence
Fatah-al-Islam ( in reality ) is a creation of the "Welch Club". This club is named for its godfather David Welch - the current assistant to the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He is the "point man" for the Bush administration and is guided by Eliot Abrams.
Key Lebanese members of the Welch Club ( aka: the "Club" ) include:
The Lebanese civil war veteran, warlord, feudalist and mercurial Walid Jumblatt of the Druze party ( the Progressive Socialist Party or PSP )
The extremist Phalange party and its Lebanese Forces ( LF ) - The group that conducted the Israel organized massacre at Sabra-Shatilla ( although led by Elie Hobeika, once Geagea's mentor, Geagea did not take part in the Sept. 1982 slaughter of 1,700 Palestinian and Lebanese ).
The billionaire, Saudi Sheikh and Club president Saad Hariri - Leader of the Sunni Future Movement ( FM ).
Over a year ago Hariri's Future Movement started setting up Sunni Islamist terrorist cells ( the PSP and LF already had their own militia since the civil war and - despite the Taif Accords requiring militia to disarm - they are now rearmed, itching for action, and trying dilligently to provoke Hezbollah ).
The FM created Sunni Islamist "terrorist" cells were meant to serve as a cover for ( anti-Hezbollah ) Welch Club projects. The plan was that actions taken by these cells - of which Fatah el-Islam is one - could be blamed on al Qaeda, or Syria, or anyone but the Club.
