J Moore and others have done for the ongoing genocide in Sudan something similar to what I did for SARS in its infancy. In May they started a group blog, Passion of the Present and have been posting news about the situation in Darfur, with links for more information, daily. The site, Passion of the Present, is a great resource for learning about what it happening in the Sudan, learning about efforts to prevent the ongoing genocide, and suggestions for what people can do to try and stop it. If you haven't seen it, check it out, link to it, and write about it. In case you haven't heard of Darfur, as the Mercy Corps home page says: it is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today. According to the United Nations, some 2 million people are in desperate need of food and humanitarian aid, and the U.S. Agency for International Development estimates 350,000 people could die in coming months from starvation and disease. But this humanitarian crisis is not the result of natural forces. It is the result of a deliberate campaign by the leaders of the Sudan to destroy the people of Darfur. So far, the campaign looks like it will be successful. It is, as the US House and Senate voted tonight to declare, Genocide. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, nor a conservative or liberal, issue. A people is being exterminated like termites by their government. Until recently, the world has just watched and made "naughty naughty" noises. Unless the world steps in, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people will die. For those interested in the details, Human Rights Watch recently published a lengthy report on the crisis in Darfur. If you prefer a more impressionistic view, the NYT recently had a first person account of a visit to the refugee camps. A small sample: Two weeks after Colin L. Powell and Kofi Annan visited this part of Sudan in the hope that the glare of diplomatic shame might arrest a human crisis, conditions are still miserable. Days after the American secretary of state and the United Nations secretary general ended their tour, witnesses said, gunmen stormed a girls' school in the desert region of Darfur, chained a group of students together and set the building on fire. The charred remains of eight girls were still in shackles when military...

I'm not going in to the Convention until 11am these days. I don't go out drinking afterwards, which means I'm asleep by 1am. So why am I so beat? Ok, aside from being old, fat and out of shape, why am I so beat? Crowds are exhausting. Trying to be alert is exhausting. Sitting in one place is exhausting. Being spoken at is exhausting. Being snarky is exhausting. Being exhausted is exhausting. I'm thinking of covering the speeches tonight by coming home and watching them on C-SPAN.

I know I've already blogged about how confusing I found The Bourne Supremacy, but here's an email (slightly edited) I sent to Sam Allis at the Boston Globe today in response to his "Critic's Notebook" that luxuriated in that movie racking up bigger grosses than either Collateral or The Manchurian Candidate, two movies he considers to be smug, predictable, and coasting on their star power: Sam, I enjoyed your piece today and am glad to see Damon get the credit he deserves. But one thing you said irked me enough to write to you, primarily because I just can't...

The Difference Between What You Want To
Happen And What's Happening 12/29/2003 01:44 PM
We've writt en about Magnatunes and the Creative Commons a few times before, so yet another article on Magnatunes and the Creative Commons isn't all that interesting. However, this one makes a very good point which is worth repeating. The article asks, if people can get their music for free, why would they bother paying for CDs. The response, which Magnatunes founder basically tells them, is that they're asking the wrong question. People are already downloading music for free, and thus, the recording industry needs to figure out a way to adjust to that reality. The original question (what happens if people can get their music for free?) is like asking "but, what happens to buggy makers when automobiles are around?" The answer seems obvious to everyone, except those involved in the recording industry: they adapt or die. The recording industry is so focused on what they want to happen, that they've missed what's actually happening. The article also suggests that, so far, Magnatunes is doing quite well, and has the potential to be a viable longterm business - based on the idea of giving away music as a promotional good.

Another Genocide: What Can We Do?

Another Genocide: What Can We Do? 08/01/2004 03:03 PM
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum says:

"For the first time in its history, the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum today declared a 'genocide emergency,' saying that genocide is imminent or is actually happening in the Darfur region of Sudan."

This situation shames humanity. It shames us here in America, because we have the power to do something about it. Yet a disaster of staggering proportions isn't deemed sufficiently terrible by the people who launch wars under false pretenses in other places. I've just sent off a donation to D octors Without Borders, one of the many organizations working to relieve the suffering of the survivors in Sudan. There are many other organizations working there -- see this page from InterAction. The magnitude of the crimes being committed in Darfur are almost beyond comprehension. Please, if you're an American, contact yourmembers of Congress to ask for sterner intervention, and make a humanitarian donation. It's the least we can do.

Images of genocide

Images of genocide 06/19/2004 06:08 AM

On the plane returning from Helsinki to Tokyo, I read an op-ed in the International Herald Tribune, Dare We Call It Genocide? Please click the link and read it. It's short, but an important perspective. People gloss over statistics and even vivid first-hand accounts like this in text often fail to get our attention. In fact, I remember thinking about blogging this article, but it slipped my mind after I returned to Japan.

This morning I saw Tears of the Sun starring Bruce Willis. This movie is about a heroic extraction mission in Nigeria with ethnic cleansing as a backdrop. The movie itself and its message were not that interesting, but the scene where people are being murdered and raped by soldiers struck me emotionally and created a visual image for me of the atrocities in Sudan. It sparked me to search for and post the link above.

I think it's important to realize that motion pictures and videos have an incredible impact on us emotionally. We've discussed the risks of racial stereotyping in motion pictures and some people have criticized me for citing shallow movies about important issues. It is clear that movies play a huge role in helping us (accurately or not) understand and care about cultures.

One thing I've noticed is that amateur films and flash are being used quite effectively in political jokes and commentary on the Net. There are copyright issues with many of the works, but I believe that video blogging, (or whatever you want to call grassroots video production and sharing) can play a very important role in raising awareness on issues such as the genocide in Sudan.

Maybe we need to get Witness and Passion of the Present working together if they aren't already. Ethan?

Rev. Moon pushing genocide

Rev. Moon pushing genocide 01/16/2004 11:31 AM

Here's another racist influential leader ranting, this time about genocide.

"There will be a purge on God’s orders, and evil will be eliminated like shadows," the Unification Church leader Rev. Sun Myong Moon, the owner and primary funder of money-losing right-wing Washington Times, said last week. (The comments were posted online by Rev. Moon’s webmaster and picked up by blogger John Gorenfeld.) "Gays will be eliminated, the 3 Israels will unite. If not then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will bring but this is what happens. It will be greater than the communist purge but at God’s orders."

Remember the Armenian Genocide

Remember the Armenian Genocide 04/14/2005 01:59 PM
"Between 1915 and 1918 the Ottoman Empire, ruled by Muslim Turks, carried out a policy to eliminate its Christian Armenian minority. This genocide was preceded by a series of massacres in 1894-1896 and in 1909, and was followed by another series of massacres beginning in 1920. By 1922 Armenians had been eradicated from their historic homeland." Since the early 1920s, successive Turkish governments have maintained an ostentatious silence on the subject, broken only to issue denials that the genocide ever occurred, and denunciations of those who assert that it did. In 1990, for example, the Turkish ambassador to the U.S. dismissed the holocaust as resulting from "a tragic civil war initiated by Armenian nationalists."

This Sunday in NYC, thousands will gather to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the genocide and protest the Turkish denials.
