Zionism

Hi, I have started a page on this : http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Zionism

I think this may be the way to state what exactly is meant and allow us to get past any issues on the use of the term.

Socialist Action

Interesting stuff. We probably need some more background on this. Any of this of any use?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Action_(UK)

Also are we sure that 'most' of Livingstones people were SA? Is there a source for that? or should we say 'many'? And is it really true that Livingstone wroites under a pseudonym? We also need sources on the pseudonymous writings...

rather less than friendly

I am still working on the Claire Fox page. I agree that it is not, yet, a particularly interesting page, but, I don’t think that by taking out the fact she was born in Wales in 1960 that I have ruined the page. There were lots of brackets and it looked untidy making it difficult to read. Furedi is not mentioned yet, but the RCP connection is. The stuff about her sister, Fiona, being “more catholic” and the RCP being uncomfortable about her stance on abortion are, as far as I can see, without a source. If you have one, please, stick it back in. If you can help me please do, the page needed updated and there is still loads of GM stuff to add. It might indeed be "a rather bland trite article" but as you can see it hasn't changed that much. Claire

HI Paul

in Henry Jackson Society Project for Democratic Geopolitics

--can you unpack the following sentence a bit pls? i.e. in what way is the subtitle of the org suggestive of force/steel fist?:--

During a lecture hosted by the HJS Carl Gershman, the NED's president, noted the subtitle of the organization: Democratic Geopolitics, i.e., a forceful foreign policy with a hidden steel fist.

thanks! Claire

What I mean is, it is not clear that this is (incl. the i.e. bit) a quote from him--if it is, it should be made clear that he said the whole thing and it should be in quotation marks and should be referenced. Even if a paraphrase of what he said, it still needs a ref. I did not know if it was his view or whether the "i.e." bit was a comment from you. That's one thing that needs to be clarified. The other thing is: Why should the words Democratic Geopolitics mean a hidden steel fist?
