> Think of it this way: in India there are some pretty reprehensible social practices against “untouchables”, against Christians and Muslims, against women. Pakistan and Bangladesh have even worse ways of dealing with minority communities and women. Should they be bombed? Should Delhi, #Islamabad and #Dhaka be destroyed? Is it possible to bomb bigotry out of India? Can we bomb our way to a feminist paradise?

Arundhati Roy in 2002
> They live with no semblance of dignity. With not much hope in sight. They have no control over their lands, their security, their movement, their communication, their water supply. So when accords are signed, and words like “autonomy” and even “statehood” bandied about, it’s always worth asking: What sort of autonomy? What sort of State? What sort of rights will its citizens have?
#ArundhatiRoy in #ComeSeptember makes me see a pattern from #HannahArendt's view of WWI..

2002 speech Come September
> Although Palestinian attacks strike terror into Israeli citizens, they provide the perfect cover for the Israeli government’s daily incursions into Palestinian territory, the perfect excuse for old-fashioned, nineteenth-century colonialism, dressed up as a new fashioned, twenty-first century “war”.

> Palestine was once a secular bulwark in the Middle East. But now the.. P.L.O., is losing ground to # Hamas..
The world is called upon to condemn suicide bombers. But can we ignore the long road they have journeyed on before they have arrived at this destination? September 11, 1922 to September 11, 2002 – eighty years[^1] is a long time to have been waging war.

.> After the coup President Allende was found dead inside the presidential palace. Whether he was killed or whether he killed himself, we’ll never know. In the regime of terror that ensured, thousands of people were killed. Many more simply “disappeared”. Firing squads conducted public executions. Concentration camps and torture chambers were opened across the country. The dead were buried in mine shafts and unmarked graves. For seventeen years the people of Chile lived in dread of the midnight knock, of routine “disappearances”, of sudden arrest and torture. Chileans tell the story of how the musician Victor Jara had his hands cut off in front of a crowd in the Santiago stadium. Before they shot him, Pinochet’s soldiers threw his guitar at him and mockingly asked him to play.
.> In 1999, following the arrest of General Pinochet in Britain, thousands of secret documents were declassified by the U.S. government. They contain unequivocal evidence of the CIA’s involvement in the coup as well as the fact that the U.S. government had detailed information about the situation in Chile during General Pinochet’s reign. Yet, Kissinger assured the general of his support: “In the United States as you know, we are sympathetic to what you’re trying to do,” he said. “We wish your government well.”

.> ZINN: I think your coming here does that. Not only your writing does that but your coming here and us listening to you and knowing that we are part of a 'carass'. Have any you have read Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle? Kurt Vonnegut is remarkable?this remarkable, interesting, odd mind. In Cat's Cradle he talks about a 'carass'. A carass is when people feel an affinity with one another. They don't know exactly why but it crosses all lines. It crosses national, racial, sexual... it crosses all lines. That's what we depend on.

I KNEW IT HAD TO BE NUNS!!! GAWD THIS MOVIE! #ComeSeptember #TCMParty

The Wise 20YO, hip to the trends these days, suggests that #ComeSeptember should have been named “No Nut November.” Whatever that means. #TCMParty

You know you’re old and you’ve had a BAD day when you think the sexiest thing in a Gina Lollobrigida movie is vintage Orange VW microbus. #ComeSeptember #TCMParty

Believe me, sir, what I am doing for you no lawyer could ever do." #TCMParty #ComeSeptember

There seems to be a whole sub genre of prudish American anti-sex movies made in Italy in the early 1960s. What a depressing waste of talent and setting. #ComeSeptember #TCMParty

"Keep your kids off the streets, send them to Europe." #TCMParty #ComeSeptember

"Conrad Hiton would have been proud to own it." "I'm surprised you didn't sell it to him!" #TCMParty #ComeSeptember

I always loved these split screen scenes in Sixties movies. #TCMParty #ComeSeptember
