Ethel Lois Payne (August 14, 1911 - May 29, 1991) was born in Chicago to William A. Payne and Bessie Austin. Known as the “First Lady of Black Press” for her extensive list of accomplishments as a writer, journalist, and reporter, she, according to her colleagues, asked questions no one else dared to ask.

One of her teachers encouraged her to write and helped her with her first submission to a magazine. The article was published. She was educated at Crane Junior College and Garrett Biblical Institute. The University of Chicago Law School refused to accept her application because of her race.

She responded to a Red Cross call-for-action to serve American forces in Japan and became a hostess for a military services social club. She met a reporter from the Chicago Defender and allowed him to take her journal back to his editors. The newspaper used her journal notes to formulate an article about racially discriminatory practices in the US military in Japan. The article was published on the front page of the Defender. She was hired and became the first African American woman to focus on international news coverage.

She attended the Bandung Conference. She covered the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington. She reported from Vietnam and she covered the Biafran War. Her interviews with prominent leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Senator John F. Kennedy made her a prominent global reporter.

She was one of only three African American journalists to cover the White House. She asked President Dwight D. Eisenhower what he was going to do to address racial disparities in the US. His angry response made front page news the next day, but it pushed civil rights issues to the top of the agenda for his Administration.

She became the first African American woman to serve as a radio and television commentator. She reported on apartheid in South Africa and worked for the release of Nelson Mandela. Her many honors included an award from the Capital Press Club for her reporting during the Vietnam War and the TransAfrica African Freedom Award. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #deltasigmatheta

A leading human rights organization—the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center—on Thursday named soaring anti-Jewish hate crimes in Democratic controlled Chicago and New York and on elite U.S. college campuses as some of the top ten worst outbreaks of antisemitism in 2022. 

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, presented the list titled "2022 Top Ten Worst Global Anti-Semitic Incidents," in Jerusalem Thursday.

"Parents and students at a Jewish girls’ school for parent-teacher conferences witnessed a Chicago man threaten to ‘burn a rabbi in a gas oven’ just days before the Hanukkah festival. The man was arrested and held on bail. Other incidents involving obviously religious people occurred in Jewish neighborhoods during 2022," wrote the Wiesenthal experts of the sixth spot of the list. 

Wiesenthal noted hate incidents increased by 71% in Chicago, and the main targets were Jews and African-Americans. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is named after the legendary Nazi-hunter who survived the Holocaust.  

Number six on the Wiesenthal List of worst outbreaks of antisemitism also noted that "Crime is way up in New York City including hate crimes. Physical attacks on openly identifiable Orthodox Jews in New York City are the highest they’ve been in decades. A scourge of anti-Semitic attacks are plaguing the nation’s largest city. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, especially in Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn, have been beaten, spat upon, their hats torn off their heads, and cursed in a barrage of attacks over the last year." 

ANTISEMITIC INCIDENTS SPIKED DURING SQUAD'S ANTI-ISRAEL RHETORIC, BLUE STATES AT TOP OF LIST 

The Wiesenthal document listed a running bill of particulars covering violent antisemitism in America’s largest Jewish community in New York City. "In November, two men, Christopher Brown, and Matthew Mahrer, were arrested by the FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force and the NYPD Counterterrorism and Intelligence Bureau for threatening an armed attack on a synagogue. The two were taken into custody before they could act on their plan to murder members of the local Jewish community. They were found carrying several weapons including a Glock semi-automatic handgun, and a ghost gun with an extended 30-roundmagazine and laser sight." 

"This was not an idle threat," New York Mayor Eric Adams said, adding, "This was a real threat." 

America’s university system was not immune from the rapidly spreading virus of antisemitism. A number of U.S. universities in Massachusetts, New York, California, Arizona and New Jersey secured the seventh spot for outbreaks of antisemitism. 

The Wiesenthal Center cited a report by the group AMCHA Initiative, which is dedicated to combating antisemitism in institutions of higher education, that "there were more incidents of anti-Semitism at Harvard University…than at any other U.S. university in 2022. Some of the telling examples of alleged antisemitism at Harvard include ‘the tearing down of Harvard Hillel posters, anti-Israel stickers attached to tubs of kosher hummus in the dining halls, and the posting of anti-Harvard College Israel Trek signs.’" 

CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL STUDENT ORGS PLEDGE TO BOYCOTT ZIONIST, PRO-ISRAEL SPEAKERS 

Also at Harvard "Attempts were also made to disrupt pro-Israel speakers. A swastika was found in an undergraduate dorm, the school paper endorsed the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and Harvard’s Palestine Solidarity Committee erected a wall with Holocaust imagery replete with anti-Semitic statements." 

The U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation of nine student groups at University of California Berkeley’s law school. "The groups amended their by-laws to prohibit Zionists or anyone who supports Israel from speaking at events on campus, "wrote Wiesenthal. 

The City University of New York (CUNY) was permeated with an anti-Jewish atmosphere in 2022, according to Wiesenthal. 

"In 2022, a toxic environment beset Jewish students and professors leading to lawsuits by Jewish professors, hearings at the New York City Council and a U.S. Department of Education investigation. A joint Hillel-ADL survey finds that one-third of the Jewish students at CUNY experienced on-campus anti-Semitism, leading some to drop out," wrote Wiesenthal. 

YE, AKA KANYE WEST, DOUBLES DOWN AFTER FALLOUT FROM ANTISEMITIC COMMENTS

Rapper Kayne West, also known as Ye, garnered the number one spot on the list because he "used his unparalleled social media influence to morph these historic [anti-Jewish] tropes into a firestorm of real-time anti-Semitism—absorbed by millions, and inspiring acts of hate against Jews—living and dead." 

Ye fell under the rubric "The Influencers" on the list. NBA star Kyrie Irving, who has 22.5 million social media followers, was also listed in "The Influencers’ section because he "shared a promotion of an anti-Semitic movie." 

Iran’s regime was listed as number four. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been branded antisemitic for "keeping with the best traditions of the Nazis and Soviet Communists, the Iranian Regime’s serial genocidal and theological hatred of Jews is led by a so-called Center for Jewish Studies. Iran’s Center for Jewish Studies has published more than 1,000 blatantly anti-Semitic essays weaving a toxic mix of theology, historic hatred of Jews, and anti-Israel screeds on behalf of the nefarious Khamenei regime."

Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei has denied the Holocaust and repeatedly urged the destruction of the Jewish state. 

Spot five on the list went to  Malik Akram, a British Pakistani who "On Shabbat morning January 15th, 2022... traveled thousands of miles to target a small synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, a suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Akram, took four hostages at Congregation Beth Israel. Akram was demanding the release of an al Qaeda operative convicted of attempted murder of Americans. Hours later, Akram was killed by an FBI rescue team and none of the hostages were injured." 

The president of the Palestinian Authority was ranked number 3 on the list because Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of having committed ‘50 Holocausts’  while standing alongside German Chancellor Scholz during a press conference in Berlin. Wiesenthal also took Scholz to task because he "only condemned the remarks the next day."  

GERMAN CHANCELLOR SPEAKS WITH ISRAELI PM LAPID FOLLOWING ABBAS HOLOCAUST REMARK IN BERLIN 

Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, whose father survived the Holocaust, said about Abbas, "History will not forgive him." Wiesenthal cited German bureaucrats Michael Blume and Gerhard Ulrich, who are tasked with fighting antisemitism but are accused of stoking antisemitism. Blume was classified as antisemitic in the Wiesenthal’s 2021 list for his alleged activities against Jews and Israel. 

Wiesenthal wrote, "Jewish leaders are deeply worried over the continuing hate crimes and the fact that two of Germany’s antisemitism czars are themselves accused of anti-Semitism. Also troubling is Germany’s continuing close economic ties with the Holocaust-denying, genocide-threatening Iranian regime." 

Widespread antisemitism in Germany has jolted the country’s tiny Jewish population of under 100,000 from a population of roughly 84 million.   

Semen Gorelik, chairman of a Jewish community in the state of Brandenburg declared in a "blistering public letter that he is leaving Germany for Israel and urged German Jews to follow suit due to the rising tide of anti-Semitism in the country," said Wiesenthal.

THE PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND IMMIGRANTS

by James E. Gierach

Immigration a problem? Want to be a “sanctuary city?”

Immigration attorney Christopher Richardson in a Chicago Tribune Op-Ed piece published Saturday, December 2, 2021, points out the common failings of the prohibition of alcohol (Prohibition a century ago) and today’s out-of-control immigration. Both prohibitions attempted to control problems but both prohibition-endeavors came with unintended consequences.

Richardson writes that the prohibition of alcohol came with “an explosion of smuggling, organized crime, and increase in the murder rate and, yes, [out-of-control borders].” He’s absolutely correct.

Prohibition is a boon to all those negatives as his Op-Ed well explains. But drug prohibition does more than help organized crime and invite price-gouging with human smugglers charging $4,000 to $20,000 to circumvent USA immigration rules. Global drug prohibition policy makes life unlivable in many South and Central American countries. Mexico, too.

Violent crime and corruption are the inseparable sidekicks to substance prohibitions, and immigration prohibition, adding to the economic pressures already bearing heavily on migrants who in desperation escape home and become drug-war refugees and migrants.

If American sanctuary cities and border states are to solve the immigration problem, then America must change global drug policy, permit life to be more livable in the countries producing these drug-war refugees. As pols scramble to build tent-cities and spend hundreds of million of taxpayer dollars trying to provide humanitarian food and shelter and help build the future for migrants, as pols should, we must reform drug policy, globally.

We must end United Nations recreational drug prohibition embodied in the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, subscribed to by 186 nations of the world. As we can see—drug-prohibition policy accomplishes the very things it aimed to prevent: addiction, overdose, disease, violence, gang proliferation and corruption.

As Helen Clark, former New Zealand prime minister and chairwoman of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, has said, “The US led the world into the war on drugs, and now America must help lead us out of it. The war on drugs does not and cannot reduce harm. It fuels negative and perhaps unintended consequences, and it is outdated in the face of new challenges and threats.”

In a poll released June 9, 2021 by the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), 83 percent of respondents believe the drug war to be a massive failure.” (Alex Norcia, “Poll Shows Huge Public Opposition to ‘War on Drugs,’ After 50 Years,” Filter, June 9, 2021, https://filtermag.org/war-on-drugs-poll/.) That known and agreed, it is time for the next step away from substance prohibition, and migrant prohibition, and the myriad crises caused.

American pols must start looking at longterm solutions, perhaps a “Silver Bullet Solution” to the problem-aggravating drug-prohibition paradigm.

Day Fifty-Two

It snowed again today, and this time it actually accumulated, so it made the morning drive into work a little slippery and slow-going. And I'm sure I was a sight walking in from the parking lot in my dress clothes and snow boots while carrying my purse, lunch bag, high heels, and a giant plate of homemade cookies.

The cookies were for my colleagues because we had parent-teacher conferences today. I usually make a pie, but I figured I'd change it up this year.

Students had a half day, which positively flew. I showed a video about a day int he life of a Buddhist monk in Global studies, we discussed it, that was it; we had an epic final round debate for Court Madness in APGOV (the team arguing that McDonald v. Chicago was the most significant case won it on the strength of their rebuttal round). I enjoyed that immensely.

Students went home at 11:30AM, we met their parents from 12:00-5:30. Parents booked ten-minute slots within that time frame in advance, so we all knew who was coming and when (it's an online system). I wasn't fully booked this year, but I was close, so I had a lot of really good, constructive conversations. I also got to speak to several of my friends whose kids are now my students, which was equal parents awesome, surreal, and hilarious.

It's tiring, but it's worthwhile. And the cookies helped: a little sugar boost, you know? And they were a hit with my Cacophonous friends, which makes me happy.

And now it's a long weekend! Woohoo!

VEGOILS-Palm oil declines for third day on weaker rivals JAKARTA, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures dropped for a third straight session on Thursday, weighed down by weakness in prices of rival vegetable oils in Dalian and Chicago. The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for January delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange lost 73 ringgit, or 1.46%, to 4,914 ringgit ($1,097.36) a metric ton, as of 0235 GMT. FUNDAMENTALS Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 droppped 1.56%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 fell 0.8%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOc2 were up 0.82%. Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as it competes for a share in the global vegetable oils market. India's palm oil imports in October rose 60% from September to 845,682 tons on festive demand and higher purchases by refiners to replenish stocks depleted by lower-than-usual imports recently, the Solvent Extractors' Association of India said. Indonesia's government reaffirmed to lawmakers a plan to implement a 40% mandatory biodiesel mix with palm oil-based fuel, known as B40, in January 2025, as part of the new administration's "quick wins" programmes. Exports of Malaysian palm oil products in the Nov. 1-10 period are seen falling between 14.6% and 15.8%, compared with the same period a month ago, according to surveyors AmSpec Agri Malaysia and Intertek Testing Services (ITS). Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (BMD) is planning to launch its new used cooking oil futures contract as early as December, the director of the Malaysian bourse told an oilseed conference on Wednesday. Oil prices dropped slightly early on Thursday on expectations of higher global production amid forecasts for weak demand growth, while a firmer dollar also kept a lid on prices. Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock. Palm oil FCPOc3 may test support at 4,795 ringgit per metric tonne, with a good chance of breaking below it and falling towards 4,655 ringgit, according to Reuters tehcnical analyst Wang Tao.

News/Announcements: Shoutouts to Patreon Patrons, Creatives Rebuild New York and Asian Arts Initiative This site turned 14 earlier this year. 14 years of anything — especially a job — is a very long time. In the blogosphere, that’s roughly 22 lifetimes. Now, when I started JOVM, I was felt as though I had no real choice but to go out on my own. I didn’t feel — or believe — that I’d get a fair shot to do what this site has become with another outlet.  I’ve long felt a desire to create something similar to the wildly eclectic, dynamic, global sort of environment I grew up immersed in as a young, Black boy from Corona, Queens. And I didn’t regularly see the environment I grew up in represented in the music magazines and sites that I loved to read. To me, that’s a real weakness because — well, there’s amazing music out there that’s not getting the love that it should both nationally and internationally.  When I started JOVM, I couldn’t have imagined covering the things I’v covered, and the things I’ve experienced and seen to have ever happened.  I’ve covered roughly 1,100-1,200 shows in NYC, with a handful of shows in Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia I’ve covered about a dozen or more festivals, including traveling to Montreal for M for Montreal twice — in 2019 and 2022  I’ve been a panelist at Mondo.NYC Festival and at New Colossus Festival, speaking about PR, promotion and press for indie artists, giving my perspective as a indie blogger I made a cameo in a JOVM mainstay’s music video — and it’s a very noticeable spot towards the end of the video  I’ve photographed George Clinton, Patti LaBelle, Buddy Guy, Snoop Dogg, Blondie, Nile Rodgers, Roky Erickson, Philip Bailey, Blind Boys of Alabama, and a growing list of legendary and beloved artists, as well as this site’s growing list of mainstays Back in July, I was invited to be a panelist at the inaugural Elsewhere Music Festival and Conference in Wichita, KS speaking about creating a career in music Also back in July I moderated a panel presented by The New Colossus Festival and Groover on How to Promote Your Show featuring a group of super knowledgeable friends and colleagues  Covering FME in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec  With this site, I’ve managed to carve out a unique path for myself — and in the blogosphere. Because music media — and generally the media world — is an incredibly homogeneous space, the coverage that you see as a consumer and fan tends to come from a similar perspective. If you don’t believe me, look at the editorial staff at your favorite music magazine or website. It explains why certain artists, genres and styles are covered over others. But it also explains why you see the exact same coverage of the same artists, genres and styles, too.  I’m looking forward to what year 14 holds for JOVM. And hopefully with your support, I can keep this thing going. Now, as you know, I’ve said this many times: All work — including creative work — is impossible without money. After all, time is money. Effort is money. Then add all the expenses it takes to actually work.  Unsurprisingly, this site and the work that makes it possible is impossible without money. It’s a simple — and often frustrating — fact of life. So, if you’ve been frequenting this site over the past handful of years, there are a handful of folks I want to thank once again for their support:   Sash Alice Northover Bella Fox Jenny MacRostie Janene Otten  All of those folks have been generous Patreon patrons. Every and any amount really helps keeps this sort of journalism and criticism alive and ongoing. So if you’re able and willing, please feel free to check out the Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/TheJoyofViolentMovement.  Additionally, I have to thank the helpful, hardworking and dedicated folks at Creatives Rebuild New York. I’m proud, gratified and humbled to have been included in their 18-month Guaranteed Income for Artists program. Understand...

Why Academic Writing Editing Services Are Essential For Research Success

In today’s fast-paced academic environment, the success of any research project hinges not only on the depth of investigation but also on the clarity and quality of writing. Scholars and researchers spend months, if not years, conducting thorough studies, but when it comes time to present their findings, even the best research can falter due to poor writing. This is where academic writing editing services become essential. First Editing, a leader in the industry, offers tailored academic editing services that ensure your research is presented in the best possible light, maximizing its impact and success.

Ensuring Clarity and Precision

The academic world demands a high level of clarity and precision in writing. Whether you're submitting a paper for publication or preparing a dissertation, even minor errors in grammar, syntax, or structure can negatively affect your work’s credibility. Professional academic editing services like those provided by First Editing ensure that your work is error-free and polished. These services focus on correcting grammar mistakes, improving sentence structure, and enhancing the overall readability of the text, all while maintaining the author’s original voice and intent.

Meeting Journal and Institutional Requirements

Ehrung für Community Organizer

Wolfgang Goede wurde die Ehre zuteil, den Speaker unserer Gemeinsinn-Konferenz 2011 mit ein paar Zeilchen zum Jubiläum zu würdigen, war schon ein gelungenes Ding, damals im OEBZ — time is flying … Honoree Jim Capraro was profiled for an article on “Community Spirit” in Credo, a Swiss international publication on philanthropy in 2014. (via Issuu) Dear Wolfgang, We’re excited for our upcoming 50th anniversary gala at the Fairlie. Here are the details: The celebration will take place Thursday October 24, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Fairlie, 339 N. Bell Ave. Chicago, IL 60612. Get your ticket or sponsorship at greatersouthwest50.eventbrite.com. We hope you can join us! We also wanted to share a story about our work from an angle that most people don’t know about. While most of us know Greater Southwest Development Corporation for its work here in Chicago, Wolfgang Goede brings a global perspective. Goede, who lived at 67th and Damen when he visited Chicago in the early 1970s to learn about community organizing, met our inaugural Visionary Award honoree Jim Capraro then and went on to collaborate with him in multiple ways over the years. Here he shares a story about Jim and how our work has influenced thinkers in Germany, Latin America, and beyond.

A conference on comprehensive community development sponsored by Local Initiatives Support Corp. in Chicago in 2012 featured among others (left to right): Maren Schüpphaus from Munich, Francesca Santaniello from Milan and Bergamo, Jim Capraro, and Wolfgang Goede from Munich & Medellin. “Mister International, James Capraro—Opportunities come from relationships” I first met “Cappy,” as we called him back then, in 1972. I had come to Chicago as a German volunteer to learn community organizing. West Englewood, Little Lithuania, Greater Lawn: I got to know the Southwest Side like the back of my hand at door knocking and block club meetings. Jim, a resourceful teacher of organizing skills and a great door opener, also with his buddies. (Meanwhile, the ‘Germans’ House’ where I and other volunteers lived on 67th Place and Damen became the most visited party location in the area). “Opportunities come from relationships” is Jim’s mantra .  The closer, the happier—and the more these relationships can generate civic power. Jim is a broker for relational power. I have seen his work influence policy in his hometown of Chicago but also in 30 other U.S. cities and beyond, in the transatlantic triangle between the U.S., Europe, and South America. We worked together on some of these including on a series of trainings in Munich, Milan and Medellín in the 2010 years. The focus of much of this work is the Comprehensive Community Development method (CCD) that Jim developed from community organizing. It’s a fusion of citizen empowerment and entrepreneurship, underpinned by best practices developed while at Greater Southwest Development Corporation. Southwest Chicago was a microcosm of the current global challenges around integration, housing, education, jobs. Jim used his experience and insights to teach international folks how to tackle these issues.

Community Spirit

“Community spirit” is the heart of the method. As conference curator and community participation expert Maren Schüpphaus, put it in an essay, Comprehensive Community Development is the synergy of one's own concerns and civic spirit within the political context, but apart from the electoral process. This became a key message for activists and Germany’s quite top-down democracy. Outside Germany, Jim’s impact has been felt in Colombia, as well, where Anneli Seifert featured him and his work at a training at Medellín's Antioquia University in 2015. Jim’s training refreshed this spirit in a country divided by decades of guerrilla warfare and entering the post conflict. Seifert saw Jim as following in the footsteps of a great humanist, Alexander von Humboldt. Von Humboldt, whose journey of discovery took him through Colombia in 1801, was also inspired by community. Von Humboldt wanted people to share empathy, responsibility and a sense of interconnectedness within local communities throughout the world based on an eternal bond between nature and humanity. This trail leads to another famous scholar: the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville, whose book Democracy in America praised the public spirit of voluntary associations—of which, 200 years later, Greater Southwest is a shining beacon. Congratulations board, members and staff, volunteers, donors and supporters, last but not least Jim! Wolfgang Chr. Goede.

The future of translation and interpretation services is an exciting topic. With rapid advancements in technology and evolving global communication needs, this field is poised to experience significant transformations. While these changes present opportunities, they also bring challenges that will shape the way professionals and industries approach language services. In this article, we’ll explore the trends and innovations that will likely shape the future of translation and interpretation.

The Role of Technology in Translation and Interpretation

Technology has already had a profound impact on translation and interpretation. From the introduction of machine translation tools like Google Translate to speech recognition software, the role of technology in these fields has steadily increased. Moving forward, this trend will only continue, with innovations like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning taking center stage.

AI-Powered Translation

AI-powered tools are becoming more sophisticated every year. Unlike traditional machine translation, which relies on pre-programmed rules and algorithms, AI models can learn and adapt over time, improving their accuracy and fluency. This neural machine translation (NMT) technology allows for more nuanced and contextually aware translations, reducing errors caused by idiomatic expressions or ambiguous phrases.

Automated Interpretation Systems

In the realm of interpretation services, automated systems are being developed that can instantly translate spoken language in real-time. These tools are particularly valuable for multilingual conferences, business meetings, and travel, where time and clarity are crucial. As these systems improve, they may one day rival human interpreters in terms of speed and accuracy.

The Growing Demand for Multilingual Content

As businesses and organizations become more global, the demand for multilingual content will continue to rise. Companies will need to communicate with customers, clients, and partners from diverse linguistic backgrounds. This will lead to an increased need for translation and interpretation services in areas like marketing, customer support, and legal documentation.

CHICAGO MEDIA SHOULD HOLD TOWN HALL MEETINGS

TOPIC: THE WAR ON DRUGS IMPACT ON CHICAGO VIOLENT CRIME, OVERDOSE, POLICING AND CORRUPTION

by James E. Gierach

We could be doing more to stop the slaughter. 75 people shot and 13 killed this past weekend in Chicago.

Who is mayor, really matters very little as the successive administrations of Daley, Emanuel, Lightfoot and Johnson (thus far) powerfully evidence. Who is police superintendent doesn’t matter much either. At a press conference targeting guns and drugs years ago, I asked Supt. Garry McCarthy? “Isn’t this just Prohibition all over? Won’t there just be more tables of guns and drugs next week?” Commendably, he replied: “I don’t make the rules. My job is just to enforce them.”

Similarly, how much “root cause” state, city, federal and private money is amassed (as the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club will soon learn) and spent on violence interruption and job programs, etc., “weed and seed” money, so-called years ago (all of which I enthusiastically support), alone, just doesn’t cut it. Why?

We all are living in a Drug War Environment producing More Crime, More Drugs and More Corruption. The perceived “moral foundation” for the War on Drugs is one of the Seven Reasons Bad Drug Prohibition Policy Is So Difficult To Change.

Chapter 11 - Why Is It So Difficult to Reform Bad Drug Policy?

Reason 1: The Tangle and Complexity of the Global Drug Prohibition Mosaic

Reason 2: The Supposed Moral Foundation of Drug War

Let’s hold Drug Policy Reform Town Meetings in cooperation with Chicago TV, radio and print media.

Topic: The War Drugs Impact on Chicago Gun Violence, Drug Overdose, Policing and Immigration Crises.

Farmers in the U.S. and Brazil face sobering market outlook

With big crops coming, analysts see little end in sight to moribund grain prices.

Assessing a bitter cocktail served up for American farmers – a mix of relatively depressed crop prices, plentiful global grain stockpiles and Brazil’s seemingly limitless ability to expand its soybean ground, industry analyst Mark Soderberg offered a darkly apt summation:

“Pretty sobering.”

“I don’t see the long-term trend changing for the next three to five years,” said Soderberg, senior ag market analyst at ADM Investor Services in Chicago.

“It really boils down to the fact that with big production from Brazil and the U.S., there’s no fear of running out,” Soderberg said, speaking Monday on a panel at Barchart’s Grain Merchandising & Technology Conference in Orlando, Fla.

“There’s always going to be a crop just six months down the road,” Soderberg said. “To me that is why we’re trading at lower prices now than maybe we would have in the past” under similar fundamental metrics, such as stocks-to-use levels.
