Rebecca Whitby faces trumped up charges

When we were last in court in support of Rebecca Whitby, she was given a continuance with a pre-trial in mid-Feb. and a trial date in late Feb. Amazingly, a misdemeanor assault charge came seemingly out of nowhere and was abruptly scheduled for trial this coming Friday, 1/29/10. The time as before is 9:00 am and the place as before is the 19th floor of the Justice Center, 1200 Ontario at Lakeside, Cleveland.

As you recall, the charges Rebecca is facing all stem from a horrifically brutal incident last April in which the younger Rebecca was beaten by police in her own home and finally tasered into seizures and unconsciousness in the police car. Her mother, also named Rebecca Whitby, used her body to try to shield her daughter from some of the blows. The Grand Jury found nothing to charge them with. However, immediately after the family filed a report with the Police Dept.'s Office of Professional Standards, a warrant was issued for the younger Rebecca's arrest. This is a clear case of "You will not hold us accountable" on the part of the police. It is about the fact that the family said, "This was wrong." The Whitbys today, any of us tomorrow.

At the last hearing Judge Stuart Friedman made a series of biased comments about "community activists" in an effort to divide the family and intimidate the supporters. The family is not divided and we are not intimidated. We will be there in strength on Friday and at all future hearings.

The Japanese have a word for it

Monday, January 11, 2010

The current global economic crisis? Here in America dissembling economists call it a "recession." Some Guy, uh... that would be me, calls the similar conditions that prevailed when FDR was president and millions of workers were demanding a New Deal from him The Lesser Depression of the 1930s. Either way, "depression / recession," the Japanese have a word for it (see below). By my lights there is none better, in any language. I would only add, "...and the neoliberal capitalists you rode in on!"

PORTE MENTAUX - Ah ça ira



Edith Piaf- Le ça ira (ca. 1953)




Ah, ça ira

Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates à la lanterne!
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates on les pendra!
Si on n’ les pend pas
On les rompra
Si on n’ les rompt pas
On les brûlera
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates à la lanterne!
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates on les pendra!
Nous n’avions plus ni nobles, ni prêtres
Ah ! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira,
L’égalité partout régnera.
L’esclave autrichien le suivra,
Ah ! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira,
Et leur infernale clique
Au diable s’envolera.
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates à la lanterne!
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates on les pendra!
Et quand on les aura tous pendus
On leur fichera la pelle au cul

Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
aristocrats to the lamp-post
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
the aristocrats, we'll hang them!
If we don't hang them
We'll break them
If we don't break them
We'll burn them
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
aristocrats to the lamp-post
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
the aristocrats, we'll hang them!
We have no more nobles nor priests
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
Equality will reign everywhere
The Austrian slave shall follow him
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
And their infernal clique
Shall go to hell
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
aristocrats to the lamp-post
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
the aristocrats, we'll hang them!
And when we'll have hung them all
We'll stuff a spade up their arse
