    1776 Commission Takes Historic and Scholarly Step to Restore Understanding of the Greatness of the American Founding | The White House

    Si jamais vous vous demandiez : la version officielle (Maison blanche) de l’histoire de la fondation des Etats-Unis.

    1776 Commission—comprised of some of America’s most distinguished scholars and historians—has released a report presenting a definitive chronicle of the American founding, a powerful description of the effect the principles of the Declaration of Independence have had on this Nation’s history, and a dispositive rebuttal of reckless “re-education” attempts that seek to reframe American history around the idea that the United States is not an exceptional country but an evil one.

    How Is a Disaster Made? | Lapham’s Quarterly

    n September 29, 1915, at the muddy end of the Mississippi’s farthest reach into the Gulf of Mexico, one hundred miles downriver from New Orleans, an unnamed hurricane made landfall. An anemometer recorded wind gusts of 140 miles per hour there, at the town of Burrwood, Louisiana, where on easier days several hundred members of the Army Corps of Engineers lived in orderly cottages and worked to keep the shipping canal at the river’s mouth clear of sediment. As the storm moved upriver, the aneroid barometer at Tulane University plummeted to 28.10 inches. The rain gauge filled with 8.36 inches of precipitation in twenty-one hours. Even in a region accustomed to hurricanes, these were extraordinary measurements. Isaac Cline, the chief meteorologist at the United States Weather Bureau in New Orleans, reported that the storm was “the most intense hurricane of which we have record in the history of the Mexican Gulf coast, and probably in the United States.”

    Opinion | The End of Black Politics - The New York Times
    ▻https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/13/opinion/sunday/black-politicians-george-floyd-protests.html

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/06/14/opinion/sunday/14Taylor/14Taylor-facebookJumbo.jpg

    Young black people have exploded in rebellion over the grotesque killing of George Floyd. We are now witnessing the broadest protest movement in American history. And yet the response of black elected officials has been cautious and uninspired.

    The Congressional Black Caucus offered a familiar list of the kind of police reforms that have failed for decades to end police violence. After protesters vandalized CNN’s headquarters and set a police car on fire in Atlanta, the mayor, Keisha Bottoms, told them to “go home” because registering to vote “is the change we need.” President Barack Obama also argued in an essay that “real change” comes from both protest and voting.

    Instead, organizers on the ground have provided leadership. Women like Mary Hooks from Southerners on New Ground in Atlanta and Miski Noor and Kandace Montgomery of the Black Vision Collective in Minneapolis have been at the center of articulating new demands for redistributing resources away from policing, prisons and billionaires, and back into public programs. We can also find this leadership among the ranks of black low-wage “essential workers” who have challenged Amazon and other big corporations since the beginning of the pandemic. These organizers and workers are channeling the confrontational black politics of a previous period.

    Because of them, we are at the end of one era of black politics and the start of a new one.

    Many black politicians represented urban areas, and governing became harder as whites and their tax dollars fled to the suburbs. The 1970s also saw the end of the postwar economic boom and the acceleration of deindustrialization. The changing economic fortunes of cities, which had been the engine of the American economy, made it harder for the ascendant black political class to carry out reforms.

    Increasingly, black elected officials were seen as managing the crises in black working class communities, instead of leading efforts to root them out.

    As the black movement wound down, the nation went into recession, and black legislators became more entrenched in their positions. With seniority, repeated election cycles and without a robust movement as a source of accountability and direction, black elected officials began to govern like typical politicians. Staying in office became a priority, and as black legislators, they often had fewer resources. That meant more fund-raising from entities that may have been at odds with their constituencies.

    This was not just a case of selling out. As more blacks entered the middle class, political demands shifted. Black elected officials were more in tune with the needs of their middle-class constituencies, black and white, than they were with the needs of the black working class. And their middle-class constituencies were more often concerned about a rise in property taxes than in ensuring access to a local Head Start.

    Now, we’re tumbling toward generational and class conflict. We can already see the fault lines forming. Last winter, African-American leaders fell in line to endorse Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg as the Democratic nominees for president. The support for Mr. Biden was unsurprising given his tenure as Mr. Obama’s vice president, but the praise for Mr. Bloomberg smacked of opportunism.

    Mr. Bloomberg was mostly known for his full-throated support of stop-and-frisk, which resulted in millions of needless police stops. As Mr. Bloomberg erroneously celebrated that tactic as the reason behind New York’s drop in crime, other cities sought to replicate it. That’s why stop-and-frisk and the racial profiling at its core were among the catalysts for the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Case in point: Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, painting the words “Black Lives Matter” on a street headed in the direction of the White House. But she also proposed a $45 million increase in the local police budget.

    In 2018, three black women sued the city, claiming that the policies pursued by its administrators served to “attract younger, more affluent professionals” and “discriminated against poor and working class African-Americans” who had lived in the city for generations. These plaintiffs, like the mayor, are black women, but their differing class positions and access to power have fundamentally impeded the possibilities of solidarity.

    This doesn’t mean that representation no longer matters. It does. But we can no longer assume that shared identity means a shared commitment to the strategies necessary to improve the lives of a vast majority of black people. Class tensions among African-Americans have produced new fault lines that the romance of racial solidarity simply cannot overcome.

    Today, there are more black elected officials than ever before, and that has not been enough to contain the coronavirus, which has ravaged black communities. Nor has it done anything to mitigate police abuse and violence. For most African-Americans, things have changed, but not nearly enough.

    Protest misinformation is riding on the success of pandemic hoaxes | MIT Technology Review

    Misinformation about police brutality protests is being spread by the same sources as covid-19 denial. The troubling results suggest what might come next.

    Police confront Black Lives Matter protesters in Los Angeles
    JOSEPH NGABO ON UNSPLASH
    After months spent battling covid-19, the US is now gripped by a different fever. As the video of George Floyd being murdered by Derek Chauvin circulated across social media, the streets around America—and then the world—have filled with protesters. Floyd’s name has become a public symbol of injustice in a spiraling web of interlaced atrocities endured by Black people, including Breonna Taylor, who was shot in her home by police during a misdirected no-knock raid, and Ahmaud Arbery, who was murdered by a group of white vigilantes. 

    Meanwhile, on the digital streets, a battle over the narrative of protest is playing out in separate worlds, where truth and disinformation run parallel.

    How to protect yourself online from misinformation right now
    In times of crisis it’s easy to become a spreader of incorrect information online. We asked the experts for tips on how to stay safe—and protect others.

    In one version, tens of thousands of protesters are marching to force accountability on the US justice system, shining a light on policing policies that protect white lives and property above anything else—and are being met with the same brutality and indifference they are protesting against. In the other, driven by Donald Trump, US attorney general Bill Barr, and the MAGA coalition, an alternative narrative contends that anti-fascist protesters are traveling by bus and plane to remote cities and towns to wreak havoc. This notion is inspiring roving gangs of mostly white vigilantes to take up arms. 

    These armed activists are demographically very similar to those who spread misinformation and confusion about the pandemic; the same Facebook groups have spread hoaxes about both; it’s the same older Republican base that shares most fake news. 

    The fact that those who accept protest misinformation also rose up to challenge stay-at-home orders through “reopen” rallies is no coincidence: these audiences have been primed by years of political misinformation and then driven to a frenzy by months of pandemic conspiracy theories. The infodemic helped reinforce routes for spreading false stories and rumors; it’s been the perfect breeding ground for misinformation.

    How it happened
    When covid-19 hit like a slow-moving hurricane, most people took shelter and waited for government agencies to create a plan for handling the disease. But as the weeks turned into months, and the US still struggled to provide comprehensive testing, some began to agitate. Small groups, heavily armed with rifles and misinformation, held “reopen” rallies that were controversial for many reasons. They often relied on claims that the pandemic was a hoax perpetrated by the Democratic Party, which was colluding with the billionaire donor class and the World Health Organization. The reopen message was amplified by the anti-vaccination movement, which exploited the desire for attention among online influencers and circulated rampant misinformation suggesting that a potential coronavirus vaccine was part of a conspiracy in which Bill Gates planned to implant microchips in recipients. 

    These rallies did not gain much legitimacy in the eyes of politicians, press, or the public, because they seemed unmoored from the reality of covid-19 itself. 

    But when the Black Lives Matter protests emerged and spread, it opened a new political opportunity to muddy the waters. President Trump laid the foundation by threatening to invade cities with the military after applying massive force in DC as part of a staged television event. The cinema of the state was intended to counter the truly painful images of the preceding week of protests, where footage of the police firing rubber bullets, gas, and flash grenades dominated media coverage of US cities on fire. Rather than acknowledge the pain and anguish of Black people in the US, Trump went on to blame “Antifa” for the unrest. 

    @Antifa_US was suspended by Twitter, but this screenshot continues to circulate among right wing groups on Facebook.
    For many on the left, antifa simply means “anti-fascist.” For many on the right, however, “Antifa” has become a stand-in moniker for the Democratic Party. In 2017, we similarly saw right-wing pundits and commentators try to rebrand their political opponents as the “alt-left,” but that failed to stick. 

    Shortly after Trump’s declaration, several Twitter accounts outed themselves as influence operations bent on calling for violence and collecting information about anti-fascists. Twitter, too, confirmed that an “Antifa” account, running for three years, was tied to a now-defunct white nationalist organization that had helped plan the Unite the Right rally that killed Heather Heyer and injured hundreds more. Yet the “alt-right” and other armed militia groups that planned this gruesome event in Charlottesville have not drawn this level of concern from federal authorities.

    @OCAntifa Posted this before the account was suspended on Twitter for platform manipulation.
    Disinformation stating that the protests were being inflamed by Antifa quickly traveled up the chain from impostor Twitter accounts and throughout the right-wing media ecosystem, where it still circulates among calls for an armed response. This disinformation, coupled with widespread racism, is why armed groups of white vigilantes are lining the streets in different cities and towns. Simply put, when disinformation mobilizes, it endangers the public.

    What next?
    As researchers of disinformation, we have seen this type of attack play out before. It’s called “source hacking”: a set of tactics where media manipulators mimic the patterns of their opponents, try to obfuscate the sources of their information, and then slowly become more and more dangerous in their rhetoric. Now that Trump says he will designate Antifa a domestic terror group, investigators will have to take a hard look at social-media data to discern who was actually calling for violence online. They will surely unearth this widespread disinformation campaign of far-right agitators.

    That doesn’t mean that every call to action is suspect: all protests are poly-vocal and many tactics and policy issues remain up for discussion, including the age-old debate on reform vs. revolution. But what is miraculous about public protest is how easy it is to perceive and document the demands of protesters on the ground. 

    Moments like this call for careful analysis. Journalists, politicians, and others must not waver in their attention to the ways Black organizers are framing the movement and its demands. As a researcher of disinformation, I am certain there will be attempts to co-opt or divert attention from the movement’s messaging, attack organizers, and stall the progress of this movement. Disinformation campaigns tend to proceed cyclically as media manipulators learn to adapt to new conditions, but the old tactics still work—such as impostor accounts, fake calls to action (like #BaldForBLM), and grifters looking for a quick buck. 

    Crucially, there is an entire universe of civil society organizations working to build this movement for the long haul, and they must learn to counter misinformation on the issues they care about. More than just calling for justice, the Movement for Black Lives and Color of Change are organizing actions to move police resources into community services. Media Justice is doing online trainings under the banner of #defendourmovements, and Reclaim the Block is working to defund the police in Minneapolis. 

    Through it all, one thing remains true: when thousands of people show up to protest in front of the White House, it is not reducible to fringe ideologies or conspiracy theories about invading outside agitators. People are protesting during a pandemic because justice for Black lives can’t wait for a vaccine.

    Ce texte est daté du 8 mai 2020, mais seules les citations choisies dans la presse auraient pu être actualisées, pas le fond du constat. La crise sanitaire est loin d’être terminée, et l’économie et la société s’enfoncent de plus en plus dans la crise du capitalisme, avec toutes ses conséquences pour les classes laborieuses. L’humanité a largement les moyens scientifiques et techniques de maîtriser la pandémie, même si ceux qui font autorité en matière scientifique répètent qu’il faut du temps pour cela et qu’il faut « apprendre à vivre avec le coronavirus ». Mais la société est enfermée dans le carcan de l’organisation capitaliste, avec la propriété privée des moyens de production et des États nationaux rivaux, et dont les dégâts directs ou indirects sont incommensurablement plus grands que ceux dus au coronavirus...

    De solo un puñado de casos hace unas semanas, el brote de Covid-19 en los EE. UU. Se ha disparado a más de mil casos en todo el país. La respuesta pública de la administración Trump ha variado de incoherente a incomprensible: la negación sobre la magnitud del problema, la falta de pruebas en cantidades suficientes, la renuencia a tomar medidas coordinadas y a gran escala del gobierno. También ha planteado preguntas sobre la capacidad del sistema de salud de EE. UU. Para responder eficazmente a una crisis de salud en esta escala. El profesor y economista de Columbia Jeffrey Sachs se une a Mehdi Hasan para hablar sobre el fracaso del capitalismo estadounidense para lidiar efectivamente con el coronavirus

Cette brochette de célébrités noires américaines, qui dessine les contours de ce qui deviendra le Black Power, se retrouve lors du fameux combat de boxe opposant Clay à Sony Liston. Quand Cassius Clay devient champion du monde des Poids Lourds, ses premiers mots sur le ring sont pour Sam Cooke, qu’il invite à le rejoindre devant les caméras.

Celle-ci n’est pas seulement due à la personnalité ou aux calculs politiques de Trump, ce démagogue aux déclarations à l’emporte-pièce. Elle résulte de l’exacerbation de la #concurrence entre firmes visant le marché mondial dans une économie capitaliste en #crise. Elle ajoute de l’incertitude et des tensions dans une économie déjà instable. Elle est déjà payée par les travailleurs, en #Chine, aux #États_Unis et ailleurs dans le monde.

    Chicago teachers speak on inequality, attacks on public education at downtown rally - World Socialist Web Site

    https://www.wsws.org/asset/867a69ba-5634-4fc7-a0f1-a9f710390f97/image.jpg

    The Chicago Teachers Union held a rally outside the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago Wednesday under the slogan “Standing strong for the schools Chicago’s students deserve.”

    Teachers have grown increasingly disillusioned with the high-flown “social justice” pretensions of the CTU, since it has collaborated for years with the city’s Democratic Party administration and former Mayor Rahm Emanuel in imposing school closings, layoffs, and countless other attacks on teachers and public education.

    On Wednesday, CBS News reported that the Trump administration covered up the death of a 10-year-old Salvadoran girl in US custody. Although the unnamed girl died in September 2018, officials failed to notify the public of her death, leaving even the Salvadoran consulate in the dark.

    A US government official has now confirmed that the girl entered the US in March 2018 in a “medically fragile state” but was not transferred to a health facility until May. After four months, she went into a coma on September 26. Only then was she transferred to Nebraska where her family lived. She died on September 29 of “fever and respiratory distress,” the official said.

    Ruby Bridges Hall, née le 8 septembre 1954 à Tylertown au Mississippi, est une enfant afro-américaine connue pour être la première enfant noire à intégrer une école pour enfants blancs en 1964, à l’époque où la ségrégation prend officiellement fin aux États-Unis. Pour son premier jour d’école, elle fut escortée par la police car de nombreux manifestants racistes et favorables à la ségrégation protestaient contre le fait qu’une enfant « de couleur » aille dans une école « de blancs ». Son image est passée à la postérité grâce au tableau de Norman Rockwell, The Problem We All Live With.

    The Power Elite
    ▻https://www1.udel.edu/htr/Psc105/Texts/power.html

    Thomas Dye, a political scientist, and his students have been studying the upper echelons of leadership in America since 1972. These “top positions” encompassed the posts with the authority to run programs and activities of major political, economic, legal, educational, cultural, scientific, and civic institutions. The occupants of these offices, Dye’s investigators found, control half of the nation’s industrial, communications, transportation, and banking assets, and two-thirds of all insurance assets. In addition, they direct about 40 percent of the resources of private foundations and 50 percent of university endowments. Furthermore, less than 250 people hold the most influential posts in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government, while approximately 200 men and women run the three major television networks and most of the national newspaper chains.

    Facts like these, which have been duplicated in countless other studies, suggest to many observers that power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a single power elite. Scores of versions of this idea exist, probably one for each person who holds it, but they all interpret government and politics very differently than pluralists. Instead of seeing hundreds of competing groups hammering out policy, the elite model perceives a pyramid of power. At the top, a tiny elite makes all of the most important decisions for everyone below. A relatively small middle level consists of the types of individuals one normally thinks of when discussing American government: senators, representatives, mayors, governors, judges, lobbyists, and party leaders. The masses occupy the bottom. They are the average men and women in the country who are powerless to hold the top level accountable.

    The power elite theory, in short, claims that a single elite, not a multiplicity of competing groups, decides the life-and-death issues for the nation as a whole, leaving relatively minor matters for the middle level and almost nothing for the common person. It thus paints a dark picture. Whereas pluralists are somewhat content with what they believe is a fair, if admittedly imperfect, system, the power elite school decries the grossly unequal and unjust distribution of power it finds everywhere.

    People living in a country that prides itself on democracy, that is surrounded by the trappings of free government, and that constantly witnesses the comings and goings of elected officials may find the idea of a power elite farfetched. Yet many very intelligent social scientists accept it and present compelling reasons for believing it to be true. Thus, before dismissing it out of hand, one ought to listen to their arguments.

    Absolute Power : How the Unitary Executive Theory Is Undermining the Constitution
    ▻https://vimeo.com/10906096

    Unitary executive theory - Wikipedia
    ▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_executive_theory
    Cet article n’a de traduction qu’en chinois. Va savoir pourquoi. Pourtant ce n’est pas une notion ésothérique mais un élément essentiel pour comprendre la position du président actuel et de ses prédecesseurs.

    The unitary executive theory is a theory of American constitutional law holding that the President possesses the power to control the entire executive branch. The doctrine is rooted in Article Two of the United States Constitution, which vests “the executive power” of the United States in the President. Although that general principle is widely accepted, there is disagreement about the strength and scope of the doctrine. It can be said that some favor a “strongly unitary” executive, while others favor a “weakly unitary” executive. The former group argue, for example, that Congress’s power to interfere with intra-executive decision-making (such as firing executive branch officials) is limited, and that the President can control policy-making by all executive agencies within the limits set for those agencies by Congress. Still others agree that the Constitution requires a unitary executive, but believe this to be harmful, and propose its abolition by constitutional amendment.

    Plural executives exist in several states where, in contrast to the federal government, executive officers such as lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, secretary of state, and others, are elected independently of the state’s governor. The Executive Branch of the government of The State of Texas is a textbook example of this type of executive structure, also referred to as a plural executive. Another type of plu#politique #théorie_politique #USA #États_Unis #gouvernement #idéologie #droit #constitution
    ral executive, used in Japan, Israel, and Sweden, though not in any US state, is one in which in which a collegial body comprises the executive branch – however, that collegial body does not comprise multiple members elected in elections, but is rather more akin to the US Cabinet or UK Cabinet in formation and structure.

    Die unbeschränkte Macht des US-Präsidenten | Telepolis
    ▻https://www.heise.de/tp/features/Die-unbeschraenkte-Macht-des-US-Praesidenten-3404384.html

    Schon Dutzende Mal hat US-Präsident Bush sein ihm angeblich verfassungsmäßig zustehendes Recht bei der Unterzeichnung von Gesetzen oder Anordnung von Anweisungen in Anspruch genommen. Eigentlich sieht die Unitary Executive Theory vor, dass der Präsident die Exekutive beaufsichtigt. Die Bush-Regierung hat allerdings diese Kontrolle so interpretiert, dass der Präsident diese praktisch alleine und ohne die Zustimmung des Kongresses oder der Legislative ausführen kann. Er würde damit sogar über dem Obersten Gericht stehen.

    Rechte des amerikanischen Präsidenten : Macht macht Mißbrauch - Feuilleton - FAZ
    ▻https://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/rechte-des-amerikanischen-praesidenten-macht-macht-missbrauch-1302370.html

    31.01.2006 Katja Gelinsky - Dammbruch durch Terror: Amerikas Juristen streiten über die Rechte des Präsidenten.

    Zwei Wochen waren seit den Terrorangriffen auf das World Trade Center vergangen, da schrieb John Yoo, Jurist im amerikanischen Justizministerium, folgende Zeilen in einem Vermerk für das Weiße Haus: „Die Zentralisierung von Vollmachten allein in der Person des Präsidenten ist besonders entscheidend in Angelegenheiten nationaler Verteidigung, des Krieges und der Außenpolitik, bei denen eine einheitliche Exekutive mit weit größerer Geschwindigkeit und Energie als jeder andere staatliche Zweig Bedrohungen bewerten, politische Reaktionen erwägen und nationale Ressourcen mobilisieren kann.“

    Yoo, der mittlerweile Juraprofessor an der Universität Berkeley ist, umriß damit eine staatsrechtliche Theorie, auf die die Regierung Bush seit dem 11. September 2001 kontroverse Maßnahmen im Kampf gegen den Terrorismus stützt, etwa das Wegsperren „feindlicher Kämpfer“ in Guantanamo oder auch seine umstrittene Anordnung von Abhöraktionen durch den Nachrichtendienst „National Security Agency“ (NSA) ohne richterliche Genehmigung. Ferner hatte das Justizministerium die sogenannte „Unitary Executive Theory“ für eine extrem enge Auslegung des Folterverbots herangezogen. Von dem Foltervermerk, an dem Yoo mitgearbeitet hat, ist das Weiße Haus später abgerückt, nicht jedoch von der Überzeugung, daß der amerikanische Präsident weitreichende Befugnisse habe, da die Verfassung eine geschlossen operierende einheitliche Exekutive ("unitary executive") verlange.

    Yoo ist zwar nicht Erfinder der „Unitary Executive Theory“, doch gilt er als Architekt des Rechtsgebäudes, das zur Legitimierung von Bushs Antiterrorpolitik geschaffen wurde. Ein Pfeiler dieses Rechtsgebäudes ist die Lehre von der einheitlichen Exekutive. Ohne diese gäbe es keine Möglichkeit, Maßnahmen wie die Abhöraktionen der NSA verfassungsrechtlich zu rechtfertigen, stellte vor kurzem der konservative Staatsrechtler Steve Calabresi von der Northwestern University gegenüber dem „Wall Street Journal“ fest. Calabresis Stimme hat Gewicht. Schließlich zählt der Mitgründer und Mitvorsitzende der einflußreichen konservativen Juristenvereinigung „Federalist Society“ zu den geistigen Vätern der „Unitary Executive Theory“. Calabresi arbeitete damals unter Präsident Reagan in der Brutstätte der kontroversen Theorie, im „Office of Legal Counsel“ des Justizministeriums.

    Christopher Kelley, Politikwissenschaftler an der Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, erinnert daran, daß der Kongreß nach dem Watergate-Skandal Reformen beschlossen habe, um die Macht des Präsidenten zu begrenzen, etwa das Gesetz zur Kontrolle von Abhörmaßnahmen, den „Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act“ (FISA). Im Gegenzug hätten „sehr kreative“ Köpfe in der Regierung auf Maßnahmen zur Sicherung präsidialer Macht gedrungen. Ein Ergebnis ihrer Bemühungen sei die „Unitary Executive Theory“ gewesen, aus der die Regierung Bush nun ableite, daß sie sich bei den Abhöraktionen der NSA nicht an das FISA-Erfordernis richterlicher Genehmigung zu halten habe.

    Kleinster gemeinsamer Nenner der „Unitaristen“, deren Ansichten über die Kontrollbefugnisse des Präsidenten nicht so nah beieinanderliegen, wie ihre Bezeichnung vermuten läßt, ist die Annahme, der Präsident habe die Oberaufsicht über die gesamte ausführende Gewalt - also auch über traditionell unabhängige Institutionen wie die amerikanische Notenbank und die Börsenaufsicht. „Der Präsident hat nicht nur einige Vollmachten, sondern die Exekutivgewalt - die ganze“, erläuterte der Supreme-Court-Richter-Kandidat Samuel Alito im November 2000 in einer Rede vor der „Federalist Society“. Auch Alito hatte im Justizministerium der Regierung Reagan gearbeitet, während dort an der „Unitary Executive Theory“ gefeilt wurde. Damals wie heute sei er überzeugt, daß die Lehre von der einheitlichen Exekutive der Verfassung „am besten“ gerecht werde, bekannte Alito vor der „Federal Society“.

    Die politische Linke befürchtet deshalb, Alito werde am Supreme Court darauf dringen, dem Präsidenten weitgehend freie Hand zu lassen. Diesen Verdacht hat der künftige Oberste Richter mit dem Hinweis zu zerstreuen versucht, daß die Lehre von der „unitary executive“, so wie er sie verstehe, nichts zum Umfang präsidialer Befugnisse sage. Die Theorie befasse sich lediglich mit der prozedual-hierarchischen Frage nach den Kontrollbefugnissen des Präsidenten innerhalb der Exekutive; zu dem, was die ausführende Gewalt dürfe, sage sie nichts. Alito distanzierte sich damit von Unitaristen wie Yoo, nach dessen Konzept der Präsident und Oberbefehlshaber der amerikanischen Streitkräfte die Kontrolle in Fragen der nationalen Sicherheit praktisch allein und ohne die Zustimmung des Kongresses oder sogar gegen Gesetze der Legislative ausüben kann.

    Prominente amerikanische Verfassungsrechtler wie Laurence Tribe von der Harvard University haben diese Variante der „Unitary Executive Theory“ als schlecht getarnten Versuch kritisiert, die Grundsätze der Gewaltenteilung auszuhebeln. Selbst Calabresi hat gewisse Bedenken: Auch wenn er als Richter wahrscheinlich „das meiste“ von dem billigen würde, was die Regierung im Namen einheitlicher Exekutivgewalt beanspruche, sei er sich „keineswegs sicher“, daß er alle Maßnahmen aufrechterhalten würde.

    What you don’t know about your health data will make you sick
    ▻https://www.fastcompany.com/90317471/what-you-dont-know-about-your-health-data-privacy-will-make-you-sick

    https://images.fastcompany.net/image/upload/w_1280,f_auto,q_auto,fl_lossy/wp-cms/uploads/2019/03/p-1-healthdata.jpg

    Chances are, at least one of you is being monitored by a third party like data analytics giant Optum, which is owned by UnitedHealth Group, Inc. Since 1993, it’s captured medical data—lab results, diagnoses, prescriptions, and more—from 150 million Americans. That’s almost half of the U.S. population.

    “They’re the ones that are tapping the data. They’re in there. I can’t remove them from my own health insurance contracts. So I’m stuck. It’s just part of the system,” says Joel Winston, an attorney who specializes in privacy and data protection law.

    Healthcare providers can legally sell their data to a now-dizzyingly vast spread of companies, who can use it to make decisions, from designing new drugs to pricing your insurance rates to developing highly targeted advertising.

    Yet not all health-related information is protected by privacy rules. Companies can now derive insights about your health from growing piles of so-called “alternative” data that fall outside of HIPAA. This data—what some researchers refer to as your “shadow health record”—can include credit scores, court documents, smartphone locations, sub-prime auto loans, search histories, app activity, and social media posts.

    Your health data can be deployed in alarming ways, privacy experts say. Insurance companies can raise your rate based on a photo on your Instagram feed. Digital advertisers can fold shadow health data into ads that target or discriminate against you. It can even seem invasive and predatory. One trend among personal injury lawyers, for example, is geo-targeted ads to patients’ phones in emergency rooms.

    Uniquely valuable health data is also increasingly the target of hackers, ransomware attacks, breaches, or what some patients call just plain shadiness, which has led to litigation and can ultimately further undermine trust in the healthcare system. A 2017 breach at a New York hospital leaked sensitive information about more than 7,000 patients, including addiction histories, medical diagnoses, and reports of sexual assault and domestic violence. Criminals can use that kind of data to commit identity and insurance fraud.

    “There’s a great deal of trust that’s placed in our interactions with doctors and healthcare institutions,” says Mary Madden, research lead at Data & Society, who studies consumer and health privacy. “The current process of seeking consent for data collection and use in many health settings is often treated as an administrative afterthought, rather than a meaningful exchange that makes patients feel empowered and informed.”

    Your health-related data are compiled into a specialty report akin to the consumer credit reports made famous—or infamous—by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Insurers claim these reports are crucial to evaluating and pricing risk, and they can use this data to raise your rate, or to deny your application entirely. If your application is rejected—it’s called an “adverse event”—you are legally entitled to receive a copy of your specialty report and to potentially dispute an error.

    “Many people don’t understand that the data from a Fitbit or other health wearable or health device can actually be sold and is, in fact, today being sold. It is being sold for behavioral analytics, for advertising targeting. People don’t understand that is happening,” she told the committee. (After this story was published, a Fitbit spokesperson sent Fast Company a statement saying that the company does not “sell customer personal data, and we do not share customer personal information except in the limited circumstances described in our privacy policy.”)

    The demand for all this data is rising, as it has for years. The health data market was approximately $14.25 billion in 2017, according to BIS Research. The firm predicts that in just under seven years—by the end of 2025—the market will grow nearly five times bigger, to $68.75 billion.

    L’infinie variété sonore du règne animal nous déconcerte régulièrement et nous conduit à d’extravagantes supputations, explique The Atlantic. Le dernier exemple en date pourrait être le bruit mystérieux entendu par des diplomates américains à Cuba.
    Nos services

    “Les animaux ne cessent de créer des mystères en émettant des sons bizarres”, observe le magazine américain The Atlantic.

    Le mensuel réagit ainsi au tournant inattendu pris par l’affaire des “attaques acoustiques” signalées à partir de la fin 2016 par des diplomates américains à Cuba. Le bruit mystérieux, aigu et assourdissant qu’ils entendaient à leur domicile, en concomitance avec des symptômes qui ont forcé leur rapatriement (vertiges, insomnie, perte d’audition), et qui a été à l’origine d’une véritable crise bilatérale, pourrait être en réalité… le chant d’un insecte. Alors qu’une arme sonique, des micro-ondes ou encore du matériel d’écoute défectueux avaient été évoqués, deux biologistes pensent avoir identifié le coupable : le grillon à queue courte de De Geer.

    Federal Employees Are Warned Not to Discuss Trump ‘Resistance’ at Work - The New York Times
    ▻https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/29/us/politics/federal-employees-hatch-act-trump-impeachment.html

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/11/30/us/politics/30dc-ethics-print/merlin_146539257_0ee64f76-f2bd-416f-aaaf-de30f5cf5d88-facebookJumbo.jpg

    Generally, federal employees have been free to express opinions about policies and legislative activity at work as long as they do not advocate voting for or against particular candidates in partisan elections. But in a guidance document distributed on Wednesday, the independent agency that enforces the Hatch Act, a law that bars federal employees from taking part in partisan political campaigns at work or in an official capacity, warned that making or displaying statements at work about impeaching or resisting Mr. Trump is likely to amount to illegal political activity.

    The reasoning behind the guidance centers on the fact that Mr. Trump is already running for re-election in 2020. It contends that arguments about his policies or impeachment prospects are effectively statements in support or opposition to his campaign.

    “We understand that the ‘resistance’ and ‘#resist’ originally gained prominence shortly after President Trump’s election in 2016 and generally related to efforts to oppose administration policies,” the guidance said. “However, ‘resistance,’ ‘#resist’ and similar terms have become inextricably linked with the electoral success (or failure) of the president.”

    Le swing des Indiens noirs

    Il y a des siècles, dans les bayous de #Louisiane, les esclaves africains tentaient d’échapper à leurs bourreaux, les colons européens, et trouvaient parfois refuge au sein de tribus indiennes disséminées sur un territoire que l’on n’appelait pas encore « Les États-Unis ». Par respect pour leurs sauveurs, les fuyards adoptaient alors les us et coutumes, danses et chants, rites et codes, de leurs hôtes. 400 ans plus tard, les #Indiens_noirs préservent toujours ces traditions ancestrales comme un rempart aux divisions communautaires.

    À travers David Montana, « Big Chief of Washitaw Nation », nous entrons dans l’univers musical, spirituel, et parfois militant d’une population fière et combative.

    60 Minutes: Oprah Winfrey goes inside the memorial to victims of lynching - CBS News
    ▻https://www.cbsnews.com/news/inside-the-memorial-to-victims-of-lynching-60-minutes-oprah-winfrey

    https://cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2018/04/08/0ebf8a41-fe8b-44d5-ab4b-fc058d86c192/thumbnail/1200x630/6c1af32e2ad5c536a276d98885a9583e/lynchingmain.jpg

    There is a reckoning taking place in America over how we remember our history. Much of the focus has been on whether or not to take down monuments that celebrate the Confederacy. But this story is about a new monument going up in Montgomery, Alabama. It documents the lynchings of thousands of African-American men, women and children during a 70 year period following the Civil War.
