CONGRATULATIONS!!

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The weather outside is delightful..."
While the media waxes hysterical here about some winter snow in the Northeast US, long gone in another week or two, what happens next, ELSEWHERE, in Greece and Iraq, for example, will NOT evaporate or melt away like winter snow and extend its implications way beyond another week or two.
Nor is snow a tsunami, earthquake, volcano, fire, hurricane, war or man made disaster, etc.
Aside from a temporary annoyance, inconvenience, snow melts, evaporates, disappears.
NO blizzard is occurring in Hawaii, which would certainly be an extraordinary news event.
So, Congratulations from my previous post BOTH to Greece and Turkey:

Along with Greece comes the role and implications of a resurgent Imperial NAZI German bailout and whither the EU, a subject about which much ink and commentary is being spilled. I will not bother regurgitating what is elsewhere so abundant.

And, then, congratulations of a different, but, related sort.

The following prominent US Single Payer activist physicians voluntarily or involuntarily trading their faculty positions in Boston's million or perhaps billion dollar PRIVATELY endowed "prestigious" Harvard University with Kanan Makiya's and Rend Rahim Francke's (Merchantbridge) sponsored Iraq Memory Project, amongst others, for the PUBLICLY funded NYC University system.
Congratulations to BOTH for their PRINCIPLED action!:

While on the subject of Harvard's Fascist endowed university, I must LAUGH at the following report so typical of our collaborative, FASCIST led unions. The reason why. One sentence I excerpted below. Link follows. One can only ponder or wonder about the nature of the opposition as it is represented below.
MY emphasis in BOLD:

"...Saunders, who boasts a wall of diplomas from the National Labor College and Harvard’s Trade Union Program and elsewhere...

As for Iraq/Iran, the competing imperialist chickens come home to roost. Two further reports about Iraq, amongst volumes, again, state the obvious. The first one does NOT specifically name Iran in Iraq. It is oblique, like so much else. The second one, as usual, lays it out more specifically. And, as well, MY constant, consistent reminders of the MANY OTHER, NUMEROUS, COMPETING, REGIONAL, IMPERIALIST INTERESTS, FACTORS AND CLASS CONTRADICTIONS REPRESENTED ABOVE AND BELOW and UNLEASHED since the end of the USSR:

So...
I leave it to the historically and theoretically challenged opportunists, ideologues, revisionists to figure out what they will do and how they will extricate from a fatal economic and military disaster into which they allowed all to be plunged AND CONTINUE their respective roles.
ENJOY.
YOU helped birth and gave support to a resurgent NAZI Frankenstein monster.
The NAZI Frankenstein monster is YOUR baby now.
