Le Mouton NOIR - Bienvenue Communism in Washington State Communism made a larger impact on Washington than almost any other state. “There are forty-seven states in the Union, and the Soviet of Washington,” Postmaster General James Farley joked in 1936. The remark, for all its exaggeration, had some foundation. The Communist movement, founded in 1919, caught on quickly in the Pacific Northwest, picking up members from the fading Industrial Workers of the World and Socialist Party. In the 1930s the CP played key roles in the strikes and campaigns that built some of the region’s most powerful unions and used that base to influence other institutions. During the Cold War the issue of Communism and the prominent role of the Party in the affairs of Washington state became a powerful weapon for conservatives. Welcome to the Communism in Washington State-History and Memory project. The links at left and below bring you to the different project components:
The Chemical Valley (USA & Canada) I grew up drinking water drawn downstream of this, and eating fish taken from the river. My grandparents have lived along the river for decades and my grandfather worked at Ethyl for many years. My parents live along the river now, and my stepfather works at Lambton Generating Station. The environmental effects are undeniable, anyone who has visited Sarnia will have experienced the distinctive odours that emanate from the dozens of chemical plants. With aging facilities, high oil prices and stricter environmental standards, industry in the Chemical Valley has changed a lot in recent years.

Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters | Journal of the mental environment radical activism visual archive Trotsky.net After the Storm - The 11 Stages of the Crash - Asset Protection by Jeff Thomas, With all the study and thought that are required to make sense out of how the Great Unraveling will play out, we seldom take time to think of what it will be like on the other side. Those of us who are, by nature, long-term thinkers and/or optimistic, have a vague picture in mind of a rebirth of libertarian thinking, and a vibrant economy. The other day, an associate whom I like to think of as having a decent, if not holistic, view of the present depression, commented to me, “I wish we could just have the crash tomorrow and everything that goes with it, so that, next year, we can get back to normal.” Oops … maybe his expectations are a bit more simplified than I thought. Ten Years Down and Ten Years Up Economic wizard (and favourite ‘Uncle’) Harry Schultz stated back in the early 2000′s that what he anticipated was “ten years down and ten years up.” However, a depression is not at all like that. Stages of The Crash The stages are laid out below.

L'infographie dans la production du savoir En lisant un journal ou un magazine, peut-être avez-vous déjà eu l’impression que cartes et graphiques illustraient profusément les informations ? Sur Internet, peut-être avez-vous remarqué que diagrammes et animations – nouveaux outils incontournables pour présenter des données – surgissaient un peu partout sur l’écran ? Peut-être avez-vous lu dans le dernier manuel de journalisme que la recherche, « l’extraction de données » et leur visualisation, étaient les armes les plus affûtées du kit du journaliste post-moderne ? Illustration : © James Sillavan, 2012. Si tel est le cas, ou encore si vous avez ressenti, ne serait-ce qu’une fois dans votre vie, un attrait particulier pour des données présentées dans un graphique, c’est que vous êtes d’ores et déjà engagé dans la course frénétique à la production et à la consommation de ces nouveaux envahisseurs du monde de l’information : les infographies. Alors, comment s’y retrouver dans ce labyrinthe ? Mais ce n’est pas tout. Un changement radical
