Donald Trump mistook E. Jean Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a photo, deposition transcripts show | CNN Politics
Newly unsealed transcripts from Donald Trump's deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case show that the former president mistook Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a photo.
The transcripts show that during his October 2022 deposition, Trump was shown a black and white photo where he is interacting with several people, including with his then-wife Ivana, Carroll and her then-husband.
"I don't know who – it's Marla," Trump said when shown the photo. "That's Marla, yeah. That's my wife," he says when asked to clarify.
Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, then interjected and said "no, that's Carroll," according to the transcript.
Carroll first sued Trump in 2019 for defamation after he denied her rape allegation. She filed a second lawsuit against Trump in November under a new law that allowed her to sue for battery even though the statute of limitations on the crime had passed.
Trump has denied sexually assaulting the former magazine columnist and said he never pressured a woman to have sex with him, according to a deposition transcript that was unsealed last week.
In his deposition transcript, Trump reiterated previous comments that he didn't know Carroll and that she isn't his type, a claim that could be called into question after his response to being shown the photograph.
Trump said that while it is not "politically correct" to say she isn't his type, he said he had to defend himself. He added that it wasn't meant to be an insult.
When asked if he ever kissed a woman without her consent, Trump testified, "Well, I don't … I can't think of any complaints. But no. I mean, I don't think so." He also denied ever touching a woman's breasts or buttocks.
Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan asked Trump, "Have you ever pressured a woman to engage in sex with you?"
"The answer is no. But you may have some people, like your client, who are willing to lie," Trump testified.

After then-Judge Timmons-Goodson's retirement in 2005, he remained at the Court as a Clerk for Emergency Recall Judges Joseph R. John, Sr., John B. Lewis, Jr., and Donald L. Smith. When she was appointed to the North Carolina Supreme Court, Charles rejoined Justice Timmons-Goodson's chambers in 2006, and worked again with her until beginning private practice in Asheville with Steven at Northup, McConnell & Sizemore, PLLC. After working together successfully for more than ten years, Steven and Charles decided to open their own firm – Sizemore McGee, PLLC – with a goal of providing their clients with the same dynamic and efficient legal services they have grown to expect.
Charles prides himself on being responsive to his clients and advocating their interests through pragmatic and effective arguments. He endeavors to maintain credibility in the courts and respect from opposing counsel and parties, and is humbled and pleased that none of his and Steven's clients hesitated to continue their relationship when Sizemore McGee, PLLC was formed.
"Steve and I formed this firm with many goals in mind, chief among them continuing the business and personal relationships we have built with our clients over many years. We recognize the burdens the workers' compensation system places on businesses and the impact of medical and lost time payments, administrative and litigation expenses, and losses in productivity and morale associated with workers' compensation claims. We enjoy working closely with our clients to advocate their complex and multi-layered interests while simultaneously controlling costs and mitigating risks in claims. We pursue cases diligently but are careful not to utilize our clients' time or money to engage in frivolous litigation."

The following information is generalized and compiled from questions posed to the agents and interviewers in Latvia. Although au pairs from this country may or may not have had these experiences/beliefs, Au Pair in America wishes to share this general information with our families.
Child Care Skills
English Skills
Many Latvian teenagers become very independent in their teens and help out with younger siblings because parents generally work long hours.
A new characteristic of Latvian family life is that parents leave to work in another country and children are left with grandparents and relatives.
Most students earn money by looking after children in their free time, and also as helpers at summer camps and kindergartens.
Generally, Latvian families have 1 or 2 children.
Children are taught to be independent and are responsible for daily household duties. Many families have country houses and gardens where children can experience peaceful summer holidays and can help out in the garden.
Even when children leave home to study, they return home every weekend to be with their family.
In private kindergartens, English is taught early on, but in most cases English classes start in secondary school.
Parents often choose to take kids to private English classes.
English is also self-taught, because children are surrounded by English music and movies in their daily lives.
The minimum driving age in Latvia is 18. Most applicants obtain their driving license at this age.
The process of obtaining the license is at least 3-6 months long. Completing a full professional driving course and a driving school exam are required before the candidate is allowed to take the state exam.
Latvian drivers experience a variety of weather conditions, including rain, snow and ice.
Education in Latvia is free and compulsory until the age of 18.
Most high school graduates enroll into university or college.
After the second or third year of university, students tend to take an academic year out to participate in cultural exchange programs or study in another country.
Latvia's healthcare system is based on an all-inclusive insurance system. State subsidized healthcare is available to all Latvian citizens who are covered by this general health insurance program.
Regular medical check-ups are provided by schools at every stage of education.
It is common to visit the dentist on a regular basis.
Common Characteristics:
Latvia is a small nation, but Latvians are very proud of their heritage.
Latvians are hard working, polite and responsible.
Latvians can be reserved when you first meet them, but they are friendly and helpful after they get to know you – friendships are genuine.
Aleksandrs was a famous Latvian explorer. He moved to Venezuela in 1939. His most famous discovery was Angel Falls and he named the river, from which Angel Falls flows, Gauja. He also named 3 other rivers in Venezuela after Latvian Rivers such as Daugava (Riga), Venta (Kuldiga, Ventspils) and Ogre.
The capital of Latvia, Riga, is the largest city in the Baltic States and is famous for some of the best Art Nouveau architecture in Europe.
Walter Zapp invented and built the first Minox"Spy Camera" in Latvia.
How are you? Kātev iet?
Fine, thanks. Paldies – labi.
My name is… Mani sauc…
Nice to meet you. Prieks iepazīties.
Thank you. Paldies.
"The Au Pair in America program is well organized and has developed a great support system for its participants. For me it was one of the best years of my life!" – Jana, au pair from Latvia

"It's a wonderful experience! I would definitely do that one more time if I could! This year made me a better person."– Madara, au pair from Latvia
"I like the opportunity to see American life as an insider, to come to know the traditions and customs, approach to bringing up children, managing the household, learning peculiarities of eveyday language, American cuisine, and just the chance to hear from the children I love you."
Ekaterina, au pair


This episode of Now It Can Be Told starts with food stamp fraud -- is the situation in New York City easily found in other places across America? Undercover agents are 'selling' a supermarket owner $25,000 worth of food stamps for $15,000 cash. Undercover agents are also interviewed for the show with Alexander Johnson in the field. A recipient, Jose Hernandez, talks about what he's seen. The next segment looks at the Death of a Princess, Grace Kelly. She started as a model in New York City, an actress, and on to so much more. Friends Rita Gam, Vera Maxwell, and Patricia Burstein are interviewed. Craig Rivera covers the story from Monaco to get to the bottom of the controversy. Finally, this episode looks at the current defense budget of 240 billion dollars -- about $1,100 per U.S. citizen. Where does the money go? Some investigating shows the U.S. Department Of Defense spending up to $999 on a single pair of pliers. Roberta Baskin reports.


Seemingly, the method convergence criterion is that the change in atomic charges should be |dq|<5E-5. My system was about to reach that convergence level (dq was 6.3E-5) but obviously was not quick enough. Is there a keyword for allowing an increase in the number of iterations allowed in that process, and/or an increase in the dq convergence criterion?
1. Decrease the convergence criterion via the parameter HITOLER in INPUT (default 5e-5).
Normally the value of 150 is enough.
Can you display your INCAR? It is likely that SCF is not properly converged.
I have been very much interested by this post because I also got the same error (with VASP v5.4.1) on two systems among a large set of La-containing systems that I explored to test the effects of the La free-atom correction parameters, which are not defined in VASP for Lanthanides (and by the way is there a physical reason for this ?). The problematic systems are La2B3Cl and La2B3Br, which have the peculiarity to include B3 rings with short B-B distances of 1.51 Angstroms. I do not know whether this is the reason, but in those two systems I had to increase the HITOLER value up to 5e-3 to reach convergence (depending on the VDW_C6AU, VDW_R0AU and VDW_ALPHA values used in the calculation).
1. Is there a clear reason why some geometries should be more problematic than others ? Is the short B-B bond length indeed the source of the problem in this system, and if so why ? Is it somehow related to the free-atom R0 value for B ?
2. What are the possible consequences of increasing the HITOLER value on the results of the calculations (energies, relaxed geometry, other...) ?


In 2013, Mecklenburg County celebrated its 250th anniversary. In this 12-part series, Charlotte magazine is looking back at life in the region through the years. From the town's beginnings as a rural crossroads, this series traces Charlotte's growth and highlights the turning points that led to it becoming a major U.S. city.
February 1920—The lights are off at the East Boulevard mansion where Cameron Morrison lives. The Charlotte lawyer and candidate for North Carolina governor hasn't left the house in months, not since his wife died of the flu in November. Many days, he doesn't leave his room. Eighty miles east, in the railroad town of Hamlet, North Carolina, a group of Morrison supporters meets. With the Democratic primary only a few months away, they agree it's time for Morrison to get out of bed. They send him a message—start campaigning now or we're supporting someone else.
Morrison gets the message. On March 4, he launches his campaign on the steps of the South Tryon Street Courthouse. He faces long odds. He's started much later that his competitor in the primary, Lieutenant Governor O. Max Gardner. Also, Morrison is an urban politician in a mostly rural state. Still, he is conservative and traditional, making him appealing to rural voters. After all, Morrison had been a leader in the Red Shirt movement back in the 1890s. The Red Shirts helped pass the "grandfather clause," which stripped blacks of voting rights and all but destroyed the more liberal Republican Party in the state. Now in 1920, with states deciding whether to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment, which would allow women to vote, Morrison comes out against that, too.
Morrison's staff looks like a Red Shirts reunion. Charlotte lawyer Heriot Clarkson, who led the Young Democrats back in the 1890s, coordinates the campaign. Clarkson, 56, and Morrison, 50, aren't young anymore, but they adhere to a busy schedule of stump speeches throughout the state, traveling the rails and muddy back roads from the mountains to the coast. Morrison also gets support from the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce and Charlotte mayor Frank McNinch, who joins him in speeches along the trail. "Mecklenburg is strong for Morrison," the Observer announces. Soon, the rest of the state is, too.
By the June primary, the race between Morrison and Gardner is close, but Morrison wins by 87 votes. Gardner calls for a runoff, but in a second primary in July, Morrison's margin of victory grows even wider, and he wins comfortably. With the Republican Party weak, the primary victory means a Morrison win in the general election in November, and he heads to the governor's mansion in Raleigh.
In office, Morrison is less conservative than expected. He bans biology textbooks that teach evolution, but he also supports several spending bills, helping to pass measures for $65 million in bonds to pave thousands of miles of roads and $20 million to improve the state's universities.
And although some conservatives balk at the spending, Charlotte and the rest of the state are in a building mood. Hotels and office buildings rise uptown: to the north, the eight-story Professional Building at Seventh and North Tryon; and to the south, the 15-story Johnston Building at South Tryon that is the tallest building in Charlotte.
To the east at South Brevard and East Third in Brooklyn, the Mecklenburg Investment Company Building opens, providing an option for black lawyers and businessmen to have office space. To the west at West Trade and Graham, a Greek immigrant expands his fruit cart into the Star Lunch diner, where busy construction workers can grab a quick bite. Two blocks away at Trade and Poplar, bankers and other businessmen make deals in the café at the brand new Hotel Charlotte.
With textile and construction money flowing through the city, new banks—including the Industrial Loan and Investment Bank, which later becomes the Bank of Commerce—open in the early '20s to manage the cash. Department stores such as Efird's and Belk's expand, stocking new fashions like flapper dresses and baggy pants with high argyle socks.
CHARLOTTE ISN'T ALL BUSINESS. When the banks close or the work shifts are over, there's a lot more to do here than there used to be. For the wealthy, a new country club opens on what was a military training school's campus just south of Myers Park. A polo grounds opens near there, too. Others might drive out one of the newly paved roads to Pineville to watch the races at the Charlotte Speedway, which opens in 1924. Fans park their Model Ts in the infield and watch the drivers race along the 1 1/4-mile banked oval made of green pine and cypress. Also in the early part of the decade, in a chicken house near Briar Creek, three men tinker with a radio transmitter, playing records on a phonograph for a small audience nearby.
As the 1920s roar on, the building plans become grander. The city is more crowded now—the population will jump by 78 percent during the decade to more than 80,000 citizens by 1930—so when Cameron Morrison moves back home after serving as governor, crews start work on a new house and massive farm south of town that he'll call Morrocroft. In 1927, the First National Bank expands into a 20-story building towering above the brightly colored antebellum storefronts on South Tryon's Granite Row. The same year, the Federal Reserve opens an office on the top floor. More than $1.7 billion passes through the Fed's office in 1928 alone.
The fun won't last long. Trouble starts in October 1929, when a crash sends stock markets plunging. As the effects move through the country, bank after bank shuts down. Soon, crowds of panicked customers form lines outside of the bank lobbies along South Tryon Street, trying to retrieve at least some of their money from accounts that only a few years ago helped finance the building boom. One day in 1930, the First National Bank locks the doors to its new skyscraper as the dejected depositors stand in the street. More Charlotte banks—Industrial Bank of Mecklenburg, Independence Trust, and Merchants and Farmers National Bank—will follow. They are among the more than 5,000 banks that close nationwide between 1929 and 1933.
In town now, 100 storefronts sit dark and empty along Trade and Tryon streets. In the alley behind the S&W Cafeteria, people dig through trash cans looking for discarded food. Out in the rural parts of the county, unemployed men knock on farmhouse doors to ask for work. By 1932, more than $10 million of Charlotte depositors' money has disappeared. Gold mine owners open the old mines that have been dormant for decades, desperate to find anything of value. The budget for Charlotte's schools has been cut by more than 50 percent, forcing officials to shorten the school year from nine months to eight.
When Cameron Morrison runs in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate against Bob Reynolds, the Asheville politician uses Morrison's wealth against him. Reynolds dubs Morrison "the Million Dollar Man." At campaign stops, he mocks Morrison's accent and affinity for caviar, made with "red Russian fish eggs" rather than Carolina hen eggs. With one in four people out of work, the Reynolds rhetoric works. He wins the Democratic primary easily, sending Morrison back home to Morrocroft.
The wooden racetrack in Pineville sits rotting and splintered with no races to host. Even if Charlotteans could afford to go out, there aren't many places open. So they stay home and listen to the one bit of entertainment they can still afford—the radio.
THE PHONOGRAPH RECORDS playing in the chicken coop on Briar Creek have found a bigger audience. In 1926, station WBT moved into the Coddington Building on West Trade and earned its commercial license to transmit at 500 watts—just enough to be heard throughout the city. By 1933, WBT and its 50,000 watts can be heard throughout the South. Meanwhile, as other forms of entertainment seem out of reach to a town that's struggling financially, radios keep getting cheaper. The Observer reacts to the new competition by refusing to run radio schedules and even retouching photos to remove radio microphones.
Suddenly, in the depths of Depression, Charlotte is the center of country music.
The radio circuit isn't easy for the musicians trying to make it. But it beats working in the mills or most other jobs they could get in these lean times. For brothers Bill and Charlie Monroe, a good day starts early with a 7 a.m. appearance on WBT. That's when the millhands are getting ready for work and listening to the radio. After that, the Monroes make a long drive along one of those newly paved roads the state has invested so much in, traveling to places such as Greensboro or Greenville, South Carolina. There, they'll appear on another radio station, hoping to catch the millhands and others on their lunch breaks. Then it's on to a live performance at some schoolhouse or barn in a place such as Patrick, South Carolina. The radio gigs don't pay much. For the bands, radio appearances are mostly to help plug their concerts. Still, some artists are starting to make records. Agents from RCA Victor and Decca Records set up shop in hotels and offices throughout the city. From 1936 to 1938, Eli Oberstein and RCA Victor record dozens of records by such acts as the Carter Family, Arthur Smith and the Carolina Crackerjacks, and others. On the 10th floor of the Hotel Charlotte, the acts line the hallways waiting for their turn. Inside two rented hotel rooms, the tunes range from religious titles like "What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul?" to the romantic "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms," to a down-home ode to "Country Ham and Red Gravy." Even blues singer-guitarist Luke Jordan records his "Cocaine Blues" in Charlotte.
A few bands get lucky and make it big. Those that do, including Bill Monroe and members of the Carter Family, will soon be lured to the Grand Ole Opry and WSM in Nashville, Tennessee. But music won't pay the bills for most.
UNEMPLOYMENT REMAINS HIGH in the late 1930s, and Charlotte turns to the federal government for help. The city is initially reluctant to accept money from President Roosevelt's New Deal, but, as the Observer puts it in its grudging endorsement to pursue aid: "People of this community will be compelled to pay their proportionate part of the federal debt … whether they secure a portion of these funds or not." Thanks to the federal money, the city puts thousands of people to work paving streets and building a new football stadium near Independence Park. Uptown, crews prepare to expand the post office to keep up with the mail from the city's growing population. Before they can get started at West Trade and Mint streets, another set of workers disassembles the old U.S. Mint Building and moves it to the Eastover neighborhood, where it's put back together for a new museum, brick by brick.
Over on the west side of town, work begins on a new Army Air Corps base that will later be called Morris Field. Charlotte is still growing but at a slower rate than in the 1920s. Even so, the city has passed the old port of Charleston as the biggest city in the two Carolinas. And the city boosters are banking on Charlotte cracking 100,000 residents when the 1940 Census numbers are released. That round number would be great for marketing. So in the spring of 1940, when the count comes in at only 94,501, the Chamber of Commerce conducts its own recount. The organization takes out ads in the town's two newspapers, the Charlotte News and the Observer, that ask: "Have You Been Counted?" After two recounts, the total comes in 100,899.
Meanwhile, war rages in Europe as Hitler's forces overtake most of the continent. The U.S. military has been quietly mobilizing for a year now. The old Ford plant on Statesville Road becomes a storage facility for military supplies. In the spring of 1941, out at the new Army Air Corps base, the first military pilots and parachutists arrive for training.

Артифий (элам. Ir-tap/tup-pi-ya) — персидский военачальник во время похода Ксеркса I в 480—479 годах до н. э.

Отец Артифия Артабан был, по всей видимости, братом персидского царя Дария I. Готовясь к походу в Грецию, Ксеркс I назначил командирами огромной, собранной почти со всех частей империи армии, своих родственников и доверенных людей. По свидетельству Геродота, одним из таких военачальников был Артифий. Ему была доверена часть воинского контингента VII сатрапии. Под командованием Артифия находились отряды гандариев и , снаряжённых тростниковыми бактрийскими луками и короткими копьями. Возможно, «отец истории» получил эту информацию из какого-то персидского источника времён кампании 480—479 годов до н. э.

Fishbone is an American alternative rock band formed in 1979 in Los Angeles, which plays a fusion of ska, punk rock, funk, and other musical styles. Critics considered Fishbone to be one of the most distinctive and varied bands of the late '80s. With their hyperactive, self-conscious diversity, goofy sense of humor, and sharp social commentary, the group gained a large cult following during the late '80s, yet they never became mainstream.
For a complete list, see List of Fishbone band members.

, god knows I'm an atheist. But there are times, and this is one of them, when the Christian ccpneot of the Antichrist takes on a terrible clarity. If elected President, this man will be the undoing of America, and by extension, the West. I just want to thank you and Pam and the other bloggers for having the dedication and stamina to bring us this information day after day. I don't know how you do it. The stress is literally turning me into an old woman and I don't do even a fraction of what you do. If there is any hope it truly starts with the blogs.I have to go find out where I can get a sticker of those Cthulhu 2008 Why Vote for a Lesser Evil signs over at Jacksonian.

Welcome to our new bike review series! We've taken a long, hard look at the bikes we carry or will be bringing into the shop soon to break down what makes them different to help you find the perfect bike for your ride. We start today with an absolute legend, the Yuba Spicy Curry. It's a longtail cargo bike we've had around for a while, you may have even seen Dan's wife carting the kids around on the back of her Spicy here in Welly, but with more manufacturers offering cargo variants than ever before it is facing new competition from all sides. So let's dive in and see how the Spicy stacks up!
The Spicy Curry is a bike built to bring two traditions together. The stable, versatile cargo capacity that Yuba has been honing for years and the best-in-class Bosch Performance Line CX motor system, so you can carry big cargo and still step lightly up steep hills. Like other bikes in this category, it is catered at being a car replacement for families, or for those who want to leave no excuses not to ride. The massive built-in cargo rack out back is incredibly versatile in how it can be laden and comes with a huge ecosystem of custom accessories from Yuba. All to make the Spicy Curry our most versatile longtail cargo.
The Spicy Curry is a true cargo bike. With a wheelbase (and overall length) longer than standard bikes (and even most of our longtail cargo options) it is undeniably a big bike, but with its 26-inch front wheel, we were surprised at how natural it felt right out of the gate. All that said, Yuba tuned the ride of this rig with one primary objective, stability. The 20 inch rear wheel drastically lowers the center of gravity for the bike meaning heavy loads stay under control, and the kids can be loaded up in a snap. The combination of wheel sizes keep it stable and lets you weave through busy city streets even with a full load. As is seen throughout the category the Bosch Performance Line CX motor provides plenty of pep even when being pushed to the limits. The Spicy Curry stands apart here too using the Bosch CX variant of the motor for even better low-speed torque output, meaning you can go up a hill from a standstill with a full load without breaking a sweat.
The combination of the 20 inch rear and 26 inch front wheels lets the Spicy Curry thread a tough needle with its balance of huge cargo capacity, stability while laden with cargo (or kids), and natural ride. Being able to keep the center of gravity so low helps tremendously in making this (undoubtedly) large bike feel very manageable in all situations. Whats more the Spicy Curry means you have access to the unparalleled range of Yuba accessories meaning it can be tailored to fit the needs of your daily ride. The one we have photographed here is setup for one or two mid-sized rear riders with a soft seat, hold-on bars, and side running boards. You'll have plenty of options though, from kid's seats to pannier bags to a huge front basket to carry a day's shopping.
Bikes like the Tern GSD are similarly stable when loaded up, but can't match the ultimate carrying capacity of the spicy. Meanwhile, a bike like the Benno Boost E is better across varying terrain and favours those who only need to cart one child. The Spicy Curry proves itself every day with our owner's family, hauling multiple kids and the day's shopping up over the steep Wellington hills. If you're in the cargo bike market we absolutely will be putting you out on a test ride with the Spicy Curry to see what the hype is all about.

Nick Beams
Nick Beams is a member of the international editorial board of the World Socialist Web Site. He is an authority on Marxist political economy. Beams was politically radicalised during the international upsurge of workers and youth of 1968, and played a key role in the establishment of the Socialist Labour League, the predecessor of the Socialist Equality Party (Australia), in April 1972, and its affiliation to the International Committee of the Fourth International several months later. He retired as national secretary of the SEP in 2010, after having served in that position for 35 years.
Lectures on politics and history
War and Revolution: 1914–1917
The eruption of World War in August 1914 arose out of deep-rooted contradictions in the capitalist nation state system. The opportunist leaders of the Second International repudiated the principles of international working class solidarity and endorsed the war.
Read and watch
"Socialism in One Country" and the Soviet economic debates of the 1920s: Lecture One
The historical legitimacy of the Russian Revolution derived not from the possibility of creating an isolated socialist Russia but from the fact that it was the opening shot of the world socialist revolution.
"Socialism in One Country" and the Soviet economic debates of the 1920s: Lecture Two
Trotsky's analysis in Towards Capitalism or Socialism, one of the fruits of his intellectual labours while working in the Concessions Commission and on other economic projects, is one of the most concentrated and far-reaching summaries of his perspective on the development of the Soviet economy.
Opening report to the Founding Congress of the Socialist Equality Party (Australia)
This speech was delivered to the founding Congress of the SEP (Australia), in January 2010, in Sydney. The Congress debated and adopted the Historical and International Foundations of the Socialist Equality Party, and the SEP Statement of Principles.
History of the 20th Century
When the Bretton Woods system collapsed
On August 15, 1971, without prior warning to the leaders of the other major capitalist powers, US president Nixon announced in a Sunday evening televised address to the nation that the US was removing the gold backing from the dollar. The commitment by the US to redeem international dollar holdings at the rate of $35 per ounce had formed the central foundation of the post-war international financial system set in place at the Bretton Woods conference of 1944. Nixon's unilateral announcement dealt it a fatal blow.

Milton Friedman 1912-2006: "Free market" architect of social reaction
In his afterword to the second edition of Capital in 1873, Karl Marx noted that the scientific character of bourgeois economics had come to an end about 1830. At that point the class tensions generated by the development of the capitalist mode of production itself made further advances impossible.

Socialist internationalism and the globalisation of production
The Significance and Implications of Globalisation
The globalisation of production has prepared a new period of social revolution. This is the inevitable outcome of the vast changes in the structure of world capitalist economy over the past two decades -- the culmination of processes stretching back over 200 years.
Nick Beams• 4 January 1998
The COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of economic nationalism
The pandemic has made clear that the tiny minority of corporate and financial oligarchs, and the profit system over which they preside, stand as an obstacle to the rational organisation and scientific planning of the economy and society necessary to deal with the threat to human life.
Internationalism and the struggle for socialism
The following is the text of a report given by Nick Beams, national secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (Australia), to the WSWS/SEP/ISSE regional conferences, "The world economic crisis, the failure of capitalism, and the case for socialism."
Globalisation: The Socialist Perspective
The advent of the 21st century has quite naturally prompted a retrospective examination of the past 100 years and raised questions about the future development of civilisation. Such questions are provoked not merely by the turn of the calendar but by the sense that society is passing through an immense transformation, which is going to shape events for generations to come.
Nick Beams• 5 June 2000
Globalisation, Jospin and the political program of Attac
The French prime minister, Lionel Jospin, has indicated his support for one of the main policy demands of the European anti-globalisation movement.
Marxist internationalism vs. the perspective of radical protest
The failed World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial meeting in Seattle last December was a significant political event in two vital respects. In the first place, the collapse of efforts to launch the Millennium Trade Round marked a new stage in the deepening commercial and financial conflict between the major capitalist powers—the US, the European Union and Japan.
The collapse of the WTO talks: What this means for global capitalism
The failure of the World Trade Organisation meeting in Seattle will prove to be a turning point in the affairs of global capitalism with far-reaching implications. While the representatives of the major capitalist powers attempt to put the best face on a bad situation by presenting the breakdown as simply a hitch or a "time out", there is no denying the significance of what has taken place.

The Western powers and East Timor—a history of manoeuvre and intrigue
Claims that the Australian-led United Nations military intervention in East Timor is motivated by "humanitarian" concerns are belied by the historical record. The tragedy befalling the East Timorese people is the outcome of intrigues and manoeuvres, stretching back over decades, by the very imperialist powers now proposing to "save" them. As much of this record is not well known, it is worthwhile reviewing it in some detail.

K-pop girl group Blackpink had cause for a double celebration Tuesday after its music videos for "How You Like That" hit 500 million views in the fastest time ever for a K-pop act and "Ice Cream" hit 200 million views on YouTube.
According to the band's agency YG Entertainment, the music video for the group's single "How You Like That" hit 500 million views on 3:51 a.m., 73 days after it was released.
This is the fastest time for any K-pop act's music video to hit the 500 million view mark, and also bested the group's own record of 111 days it had set with "Kill This Love" (2019) by almost 40 days.
"Ice Cream," the band's collaboration with pop star Selena Gomez, also hit a new mark on Tuesday morning, at 2:06 a.m., 10 days after it was released on Aug. 28.
"This is the second-fastest speed to reach 200 million views for a K-pop girl group, after 'How You Like That' which hit 200 million views in a week," the agency said.

He's the best horse in this race. But has he suffered a confidence crisis?
Six hundred grams. Give or take, that's the weight of a horse's brain. The 2016 Melbourne Cup will be run at Flemington Racecourse but it will be won, or perhaps lost, inside Hartnell's head.
Hartnell is the race favourite this year, and deservedly so. The six-year-old gelding ran a mediocre 15th in this race last year, but has been a different horse this spring. Hartnell has run five times for three wins and two seconds since mid August. It has comfortably beaten all comers except champion mare Winx, who is not in the Melbourne Cup.
Here are the closing stages of Hartnell's best recent run. This was in the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington, which is a big tick. The horse running a distant second is Jameka, which beat most of this year's Melbourne Cup field when it won the Caulfield Cup. Another big, big tick for Hartnell.
So like we say, Hartnell should be primed for a huge performance in the Melbourne Cup. Its jockey, 22-year-old Sydney-based Kiwi James McDonald, is a young superstar. Its trainer is also one of the best. He is Randwick-based John O'Shea, who trains for Dubai-based global superstable Godolphin. Two more very large ticks.
"I wouldn't change a thing," O'Shea said on Tuesday morning when asked by Channel Seven about Hartnell's Melbourne Cup preparation.
When some horses are beaten by that sort of margin, it affects them. Several trainers whose horses were beaten by the champion mare Black Caviar said the horses were never quite the same afterwards.
Penny for your thoughts, Hartnell?
A horse's brain is less than half the size of an human's, but don't think they don't have feelings. The question is, did Hartnell's confidence take a hit when beaten so easily by Winx? Or will it not care at all? Better still for its backers, is it perhaps planning a revenge mission to show who's boss?
This we know for sure. Hartnell is the best-performed horse in the 2016 Melbourne Cup field. But will it be the best on the day? We'll know more at 3pm Tuesday.


Cabbage is the most important vegetable commercially of the cole crops, which include cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, kohlrabi, collard, broccoli, and many others. It also ranks as one of the most important of all vegetable crops and is universally cultivated as a garden, truck and general farm crop. The market for cabbage, like that for potatoes, is continuous throughout the year, and this tends to make it one of the staple vegetables.


A next generation mens racing suit used by the Norwegian National Cross-Country Ski Team.
Racesuit Seefeld is a next generation racing suit used by the Norwegian National Cross-Country Ski Team. It is a tight fitting, extremely technical racing suit with the highest quality construction to ensure the best mobility. The suit is made with a technical material from Carvico that delivers incredible stretch for an unsurpassed fit.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Colorado State held two leads in the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship game on Friday: the first and the last.
The 22nd-ranked Rams opened the game with a 3-0 lead, but fell behind by 15 midway through the third quarter. Finally after chipping away at Fresno State's lead, and outscoring the Bulldogs 16-7 in the fourth quarter, Ellen Nystrom hit two free throws with 3.3 seconds remaining to lift Colorado State to a 55-54 victory over the Bulldogs.
On the game's final sequence over the last 11.4 seconds, Fresno State committed three fouls in a row to waste time and force the Rams to readjust before taking their final shot. Finally, after Nystrom took the inbounds pass and was fouled by Brittany Aikens, she proceeded to hit the game winning free throws.
The Rams (31-1) earned the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, while the Bulldogs (22-11) get the league's automatic spot in the WNIT.
Colorado State was led by Stine Austgulen, who scored 14 points on 5 of 6 shooting, including 4 of 5 from beyond the 3-point line. The Rams also got 10 points from Keyora Wharry and Elin Gustavsson, who was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
''What our team did doesn't surprise me,'' Colorado State coach Ryun Williams said. ''You don't win 30 games by laying down and folding. So the resiliency that our group showed. I couldn't be more happy for a basketball team.
Down by 10 early in the fourth quarter, Colorado State responded with a pair of 3-pointers by Jamie Patrick and Austgulen to cut the lead to 49-45. Fresno State's Moriah Faulk answered with a driving layup, but Wharry followed with a rainbow over the league's defensive player of the year, Bego Faz Davalos, and a layup moments later to get the Rams within two. They had a chance to tie the game or take the lead after a Fresno State turnover, but couldn't convert, and Bulldogs guard Shauqunna Collins drained a 3-pointer to push the lead back to five.
Fresno State, which missed six of its last eight shots, committed four crucial turnovers over the last five minutes of the game. It was reminiscent of the Bulldogs' semifinal win, which saw them squander a 20-point lead to UNLV thanks to some crucial mistakes.
Colorado State had a chance to take the lead five times, trailing by one over the last few minutes, but Emilie Hesseldal missed a jumper on one possession and Wharry stepped on the baseline on another. On the same possession, Wharry missed a short jumper and Hesseldal's put back rolled around the rim, but wouldn't fall.
The first half was all Bulldogs, as they were the team playing with poise.
Fresno State took advantage of Colorado State's early shooting woes in the first quarter and led 19-16. The Rams missed their first seven shots in the second quarter and ended up behind 36-22 at the half.
Alex Furr led the Bulldogs with 12 points, while Breanne Knishka and Faulk each had 11.
Colorado State: The Rams were seeded No. 1 in the tournament for a third consecutive season, and were playing with a sense of urgency after being ousted in earlier rounds the last two years. ''We're 48-6 in our regular season games the last three years and we've yet to get to an NCAA Tournament,'' Williams said earlier this week, knowing his team likely needed to win the conference tournament if it wanted to advance this year.
Fresno State: The Bulldogs' 36-24 halftime lead was the largest halftime deficit for Colorado State this season. Also, coming into the game, 18 of Fresno State's 21 wins had come when holding teams to less than 60 points.
Colorado State advances to the NCAA Tournament.
Fresno State gets the league's WNIT berth.

GERMANY Is Evicting Christian Citizens From Their Homes To Make Room For The Explosive Flood Of Muslim Invaders
Walid Shoebat September 27, 2015
Despite the large anti-Islam demonstrations taking place around Germany, seems like even more Germans are happy to welcome what has become a never-ending invasion of Muslim freeloaders, thugs, rapists, and terrorists…as long as they aren't the ones being evicted themselves.
UK Telegraph A 51-year-old German Christian woman (one of many) is being evicted from her home of 16 years to make way for refugees, with shelters already full across the country.
A woman in Germany is being evicted from her home amid growing concerns over how Germany will find accommodation for the hundreds of thousands of refugees flooding into the country.
Bettina Halbey, a 51-year-old nurse, has lived alone in her flat in the small western German town of Nieheim since her children grew up.
On September 1, she received a letter from her landlord, the local municipality, telling her the building was being turned into a refugee shelter and she had until next May to leave.
"I was completely taken aback," Ms Halbey told Welt newspaper. "I find it impossible to describe how the city has treated me."
When Ms Halbey vented her frustration on Facebook, asking why she was being evicted when properties were standing empty in the town, her comment was shared 200,000 times.
In Germany, where 52 per cent of people rent their homes, it is unheard of to be asked to leave under such circumstances.
Tenants are strongly protected by law, and can normally only be evicted if they have broken the terms of their rental agreement.
"I've muddled through sorrow and distress, and then I get this notice," said Ms Halbey, who brought up her two children as a single mother in the flat. "It was like a kick in the teeth."
Ms Halbey insisted she was not against Germany taking refugees in. When asylum-seekers moved into the flat above hers last May, they got on well, she said. "We take care of each other. Helping people, this is my commandment," she said.
Although the building belongs to the local municipality, it is not social housing and Ms Halbey pays the full market rent.
But Rainer Vidal, the mayor of Nieheim, said the building was needed to house refugees because the town's existing three shelters were full. "A new residential unit for 30 refugees in Nieheim would cost €30,000 (£22,000). This solution will cost me nothing," he told Welt.
Doubts have been raised over whether the municipality's move is legal. It has invoked a law under which a private landlord can evict a tenant if he wants to move into the property himself.
"Normally, only a natural person can terminate for personal use A municipality cannot move into a flat as a legal entity, so the process is legally highly questionable," Ulrich Ropertz, spokesman of the German Tenants' Federation, said.
The controversy has come amid growing concern in Germany over how to house refugees, with shelters already full across the country and tens of thousands continuing to arrive.
Angela Merkel's government agreed on Thursday to release a further €2 billion (£1.5 billion) to help pay the costs of sheltering refugees, €500 million (£370 million) of which is earmarked for building new accommodation.
But critics say it is not enough, with Germany expecting to host as many as one million asylum-seekers this year.
The state government of Hamburg is trying to push through legislation that would enable it to seize empty commercial properties and turn them into refugee shelters.
Local politicians in Berlin have called for empty apartments to be requisitioned from private landlords.
There have even been suggestions of a return to the solution of the postwar years, when millions of refugees fleeing to West Germany from former Nazi-held lands were billeted with ordinary families.
Despite the concerns over housing, public support for Mrs Merkel's policy of admitting so many refugees remains high, according to a new opinion poll.
Fewer than a quarter of Germans think the country is accepting too many refugees, while 49 per cent think it's taking the right number, and 21 per cent think it should take even more, the poll for ZDF television found.
But an overwhelming 78 per cent of those polled supported the government's move to suspend the Schengen agreement and temporarily reimpose border controls during the crisis.
Genuine refugees are still allowed to enter Germany, but there are concerns many are lying about their nationality to get around the checks. The interior ministry estimates as many as 80% of those claiming to be from Syria are in fact from other countries,a spokesman said on Friday.
Germany has said it will accept Syrian refugees even if they should apply for asylum in a different member state under EU rules.
