POPSWade Rathke, Member Of ACORN, AFL-CIO, SEIU & Weathermen/SDS Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue an African American man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty” in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called “crisis strategy” or “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.

POPSFor the Record.... * The ads charge that McCain opposition to a 2003 amendment helped DHL and amounted to turning his back on workers. That's misleading. McCain said he opposed a version of the amendment because it was a special project inserted into an unrelated bill, not to help DHL. And the Teamsters union praised the merger at the time, saying that it would lead to more jobs. And at first, more jobs indeed followed. * The ads also imply that the DHL merger is a direct cause of the job losses in Ohio, which we find to be both unlikely and unsubstantiated. Airborne Express had laid off 2,000 employees before the merger, and analysts at the time said that the struggling carrier would need to make expensive investments in its international infrastructure to remain competitive. Analysis The AFL-CIO and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama are blaming John McCain for the loss of more than 8,000 jobs in southwestern Ohio. The AFL-CIO mailer is the most explicit, sayi

POPSWal-Mart Against Union and Democrats For 100 years and with much success, American Corporations have killed any kind of Union Movement. Democracies without Independent Working Representation are no real democracies at all. They are than dependent on politicians and the judicial system. Every man and woman for themselves and the corporations against all. Unfair, to say the least.

POPSFive Things About SAP's Strategy That You Need to Know It is interesting how SAP generally stays below the IT news radar. Their recent legal issues with Oracle not-withstanding, not much newsworthy really ever comes out about SAP. This is a great read for just that reason as it sums up some important things about SAP's strategy.

POPSNinety Percent of Virtual Worlds Projects Fail I did an MBA video project on virtual worlds (See my first clip). My assessment a year ago on this was that companies hadn't figured out how to make those worlds useful to the consumer. Instead they rushed head first into staking their virtual claim in the 3D world only to find out nobody cared or noticed except the typical hype mongers of the IT press that can't wait to be first to predict the next "BIG" thing. Maybe they were a little quick to judge.
