ANTI-GOVT JOURNALISTS UNDER ATTACK!

RUSSIAN DISSIDENTS SUFFERING
BRUTAL BEATINGS AND MURDERS
Russia is one of the most danger-
ous countries in the world for journal-
ists, according to the Committee to
Protect Journalists. 19 have been
murdered since 2000. In the past
week 4 have been attacked, and that
has generated what some say is an
unprecedented wave of outrage and
media solidarity.
The most serious attack--reporter
Oleg Kashin of Kommersant newspa-
per was beaten outside his apartment
building--here is cctv footage of
someone helping him to his feet.
He suffered fractures to the skull and
legs and a finger was partially sev-
ered--he had to be put in an induced
coma.
Then Monday another reporter,
Anatoly Adamchuk of Zhukovskie
Vesti was beaten outside of his apart-
ment. Police say they caught the
attackers who claimed Adamchuk
paid them to do this--something
Adamchuk denies.
"I do not want to blame anyone but
there are forces who might gain from
such a destabilisation. I hope--touch
wood--this will be the last action of
such a kind, but I can assume there
will be more extremist actions."
Both journalists wrote about the
controversy surrounding plans to
build a highway which would lead to
the destruction of Khimki forest. The
construction industry is said to be one
of the most criminalized in Russia.
Oleg Kashin had criticized the
activities of the young guard, the
youth wing of Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin's United Russia Party. Its web-
site called Kashin a traitor who
should be punished. The group
denies it meant physical punishment.
President Dmitri Medvedev has
vowed to bring the attackers to jus-
tice. "Journalists are the people who,
as i have already said, are in the risk
zone, and the state should be more
attentive to their professional activity,
because the task of the journalist is to
tell the truth."
But when Anna Politkovskaya tried
to tell the truth about human rights
abuse in Russia's Chechen republic
she was gunned down.
Journalist Alexander Nekrassov
says press rights in Russia should be
at the top of the international agenda.
"The west is to blame for that as well
because there is no strong message
coming from Washington, London,
Paris to stop this. Stop attacking
journalists otherwise we won't deal
with you."
Nekrassov continues, “freedom of
the press is the basic freedom of any
civilized society. If you don’t have
freedom of the press, you don’t have
a free market, you don’t have a func-
tioning democracy, you don’t have
functioning political institutions. In
Russia at the moment, we are wit-
nessing a total crackdown on the
media. So to expect Russia would
have a proper economy, and proper
political system is just in vain.”
The U.S. State Department claims to
take this all very seriously. P.J.
Crowley said,
“Freedom of the press is a funda-
mental right in the United States and
other countries, and we are commit-
ted to uphold the international and
regional commitments.”
Though Medvedev has called for
justice, many are skeptical that will
happen. According to the Committee
to Protect Journalists, 18 of the 19
murders of journalists since 2000
remain unsolved.
By Edgar Tenenbaum | Staff Writer Nineteen journalists have been murdered since 2000; most were critical of Vladimir Putin’s political party.

VENEZUELAN SOCIALISM FAILING

On the booming continent of South
America, oil-rich Venezuela is the
exception: the only shrinking econo-
my this year. Government takeovers
of private businesses are increasing.
One prominent financial analyst re-
cently had just two words of advice
for investors here: “Run away.”
Many middle-class and wealthy
Venezuelans have done exactly that,
creating a slow-burning exodus of
scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs and
engineers. The government of Presi-
dent Hugo Chávez, who recently
declared an “economic war” against
the “bourgeoisie,” has expropriated
207 private businesses this year —
including banks, cattle ranches and
housing developments, according to
Conindustria, a Venezuelan industrial
association — prompting many to
seek safer havens elsewhere.
“I feel like I can finally breathe
again,” said Ivor Heyer, 48, the owner
of a boat manufacturing company,
who recently moved his entire opera-
tion to Colombia, creating more than
100 jobs there. “I’ve gone from a
country where fear is constant over
crime and state takeovers to a place
that actually welcomes companies
involved in something other than oil.”
“It was not an easy decision, but it
was necessary,” said Esther
Bermúdez, who recently moved to
Montreal. She owns Mequieroir.com,
a Web site that offers services for
Venezuelans planning to emigrate (its
name means “I want to leave”), and
she said visits to the site climbed
nearly 50 percent this year, to an
average of 80,000 a day.

BERNANKE “DOESN’T UNDERSTAND” ECONOMICS

“Dr. Bernanke unfortunately does
not understand economics, he does
not understand currencies, he does
not understand finance,” Rogers, 68,
said in a lecture at Oxford University’s
Balliol College yesterday. “All he un-
derstands is printing money....His
whole intellectual career has been
based on the study of printing money,”
said Rogers, who predicted the start of
the global commodities rally in 1999.
“Give the guy a printing press, he’s
going to run it as fast as he can.”
The Fed said on Nov. 3 it will buy an
additional $600 billion of Treasuries
through June, in a bid to reduce unem-
ployment and avert deflation. While
Bernanke’s near-zero rates and $1.7
trillion in asset purchases helped end
the recession, the Fed said progress
has been “disappointingly slow” in
bringing down joblessness that is close
to a 26-year high.
“Debasing your currency has never
worked,” Rogers said. David W. Skid-
more, a spokesman for the central
bank in Washington, didn’t respond to
a message seeking comment.
Bernanke, 56, a former Princeton
University economics professor who
was appointed as Fed chairman by
President George Bush in 2005, is a
self-described scholar of the Great
Depression. He has argued that the
central bank’s blunders helped worsen
the financial crisis that began in 1929.
He has responded with the most-
aggressive expansion of the Fed’s
power in its history, cutting interest
rates, making Federal Reserve loans
available to investment firms for the
first time since the 1930s and lowering
600 WOMEN RAPED AND KEPT IN DUNGEONS
The United Nations is investigating
reports that more than 600 women
were raped along the Congo-Angola
border since September. Many of the
victims alleged they were kept in
"dungeon-like conditions for several
weeks while they were raped repeat-
edly by security forces. At least one
woman died from her inernal inju-
ries," according to the New York
Times. The rapes occurred as some

ON UNIVERSAL MORALITY
Moral universalists (also known as moral
objectivists or universal moralists) hold that
one system of ethics apply universally to all
individuals - regardless of culture, race, sex,
religion, nationality, sexuality, or other distin-
guishing feature. Moral nihilists and moral
relativists contest the existence of a universal
morality.
In The Ethics of Liberty, Murray Rothbard
argues that self-ownership is central to moral
universalism. Universal law requires that each
person possess true freedom or liberty, and
that liberty will create the optimal outcome for
mankind in society.
A government proposing anything short of
full self-ownership, the theory goes, governs
under one of two other systems: (i) a
“'communist' [system] of Universal and Equal
Other-ownership,” or (ii) “[a system with] Par-
tial Ownership of One Group by Another.”
The latter of these systems – Partial Own-
ership of One Group by Another – cannot be a
universal morality because it inheres partial
morality; it confers a right upon only one class
of persons while simultaneously depriving
others from that same right.
Under the former of these systems – Uni-
versal and Equal Other-Ownership – every
individual owns an equal part of every other
individual so that no single person owns him or
herself. Rothbard acknowledges that this
system approaches a universal ethic, but, he
argues it to be too utopian and thus realistically
“impossible for everyone to keep continual
tabs on everyone else, and thereby to exercise
his equal share of partial ownership over every
other [person]."
The system would break down, he states,
resulting in a ruling class which specializes in
keeping watch over other individuals. Because
this system would grant a ruling class owner-
ship rights over its subjects, the system would
result in more of a partial ethic or morality,
rather than a universal one.
Even if a collectivist utopia, in which every
person would have equal ownership of every
other person, could be sustained, Rothbard
states, individuals would not be able to do
anything without prior approval by everyone
else in society. Since this would be impossible
in a large society, no one would be able to do
anything and the human race would perish.
Permitting a person to exercise ownership
over another person or permitting the use of
aggression to coerce another, according to
Rothbard, violates the natural law of what it is
to be a natural human being, possessing nor-
mal unalienable rights.
At present, the U.S. Federal Income Tax
exerts a levy on a person’s productivity and
labor value. That money is, in part, redistribut-
ed to other individuals, in a sort of collectivist
wealth-share.
Does the United States government adhere
to a system of universal morals?

PRO EXPRESS SALUTES U.S. VETS
Excerpts from remarks
made by President John
F. Kennedy at Arlington
National Cemetery,
Virginia on November
11, 1961.
General Gavan, Mr. Gleason, members of
the military forces, veterans, fellow Ameri-
cans:
Today we are here to celebrate and to
honor and to commemorate the dead and
the living, the young men who in every war
since this country began have given testimo-
ny to their loyalty to their country and their
own great courage.
I do not believe that any nation in the
history of the world has buried its soldiers
farther from its native soil than we Ameri-
cans, or buried them closer to the towns in
which they grew up.
We celebrate this Veterans Day for a
very few minutes, a few seconds of silence
and then this country's life goes on. But I
think it most appropriate that we recall on
this occasion, and on every other moment
when we are faced with great responsibili-
ties, the contribution and the sacrifice which
so many men and their families have made
in order to permit this country to now occupy
its present position of responsibility and
freedom, and in order to permit us to gather
here together.

Another great week of football on the
West Coast with an underdog coming out on
top, Oregon continuing to be the most fash-
ionable team in the conference, and another
dramatic finish for the Trojans.
What was supposed to be the best game
of the weekend quickly turned into a
snoozefest between Arizona and Stanford.
Insider reports are claiming that Jim Har-
baugh brought in some sheriffs to ask the
Arizona players for their immigration papers.
Many of the long-haired Wildcats couldn't
provide their documents which led to some
lengthy cavity searches that left the players
distraught.
The California Golden Bears actually got
away from their cave known as Strawberry
Canyon! They only get half-credit since it
was Washington State. The Huskies are
playing like they were recently neutered, but
they came out and fought hard. If they would
have beat the 34 point spread it would have
been as good as a victory.
USC Knows Drama - should be the new
tagline for TNT this season. Lane Kiffin is
quickly turning into our version of LSU's Les
Miles, except not as lucky. For the third time
this season the Trojans were facing an op-
ponent kicking the game-winning field goal
and for the first time, the opponent missed.

For those of us who have gazed across
the political fence with disbelief (and dis-
gust) at the views espoused by the sheeple
penned up on the other side, an explanation
for the existence of the breed inhabiting the
other side may be at hand: they are truly
raised from a different stock.
While we are well aware of the socioeco-
nomic cues that tend to favor one party
affiliation over another, the genetics of these
political attachments, if any, are not well
established. Research from the University of
California, San Diego and Harvard Universi-
ty suggests genes may explain a tendency
for partisanship in general and/or gravitation
towards a specific affiliation.

tions in the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2)

precious gift of all, that men died for the
possession of a few feet of a corn field or a
rocky hill, or for almost nothing at all. But in
a very larger sense, they died that this coun-
try might be permitted to go on, and that it
might permit to be fulfilled the great hopes of
its founders.
In a world tormented by tension and the
possibilities of conflict, we meet in a quiet
commemoration of an historic day of peace.
In an age that threatens the survival of free-
dom, we join together to honor those who
made our freedom possible. The resolution
of the Congress which first proclaimed Armi-
stice Day, described November 11, 1918, as
the end of "the most destructive, sanguinary
and far-reaching war in the history of human
annals." That resolution expressed the hope
that the First World War would be, in truth,
the war to end all wars. It suggested that
those men who had died had therefore not
given their lives in vain . . .
The First World War produced man's first
great effort in recent times to solve by inter-
national cooperation the problems of war.
That experiment continues in our present
day still imperfect, still short of its responsi-
bilities, but it does offer a hope that some
day nations can live in harmony.

were associated with the likelihood of parti-
sanship and voter turnout. DRD2 variants
have also been associated with the for-
mation of general social attachments and
cognitive functions, such as working
memory and attention, which may explain
some of the behaviors associated with
partisan identification.
Recent investigations into a related
dopamine receptor gene, DRD4, have iden-
tified variations that appear to influence
association with particular political views.
Specifically, variations in DRD4, which have
been previously associated with novelty-
seeking behavior, were also associated with
political liberalism.
However, this bias was only evident if the
individual belonged to a social network
only with patience and perseverance and
courage -- the patience and perseverance
necessary to work with allies of diverse
interests but common goals, the courage
necessary over a long period of time to
overcome an adversary skilled in the arts of
harassment and obstruction.
There is no way to maintain the frontiers
of freedom without cost and commitment
and risk. There is no swift and easy path to
peace in our generation. No man who wit-
nessed the tragedies of the last war, no man
who can imagine the unimaginable possibili-
ties of the next war, can advocate war out of
irritability or frustration or impatience.
But let no nation confuse our persever-
ance and patience with fear of war or unwill-
ingness to meet our responsibilities. We
cannot save ourselves by abandoning those
who are associated with us, or rejecting our
responsibilities.
In the end, the only way to maintain the
peace is to be prepared in the final extreme
to fight for our country -- and to mean it.
As a nation, we have little capacity for
deception. We can convince friend and foe
alike that we are in earnest about the de-
fense of freedom only if we are in earnest --
and I can assure the world that we are.
On this Veterans Day of 1961, on this
day of remembrance, let us pray in the name
of those who have fought in this country's
wars, and most especially who have fought
in the First World War and in the Second
World War, that there will be no veterans of

talent with Pepper, Fishbone, Chali 2na and Pour
Habit performing at Club Nokia. No other line-up
offers something quite so eclectic and diverse, but
the rumored Fistful of Mercy show at Masonic
Lodge and the confirmed American Royalty with
Mini Mansions at Bootleg Theater provide very
sexy alternatives.For some exceptional solo artists
– you can’t go wrong with Matisyahu at Luckman
Fine Arts Complex or Leo Nocentelli at Harvelles.
SUNDAY
Sunday there is another rumored Fistful of Mercy
show at Masonic Lodge. It competes with the
Catalyst Winds of Change event at House of Blues
featuring Tom Morello and other guests as the top
option to end the weekend. The sold out Best
Coast and Dunes show at The Troubadour is worth
noting, although Best Coast hasn’t impressed
critics I know in concert.
Next week brings a handful of shows worth
seeing, including a very special Need for Speed
event at Avalon featuring Chiddy Bang, Mayer
Hawthorne, Peanut Butter Wolf and DJ Skeet
Skeet on Tuesday night (there is an open bar at
that one . . . continued online)
