Our organization Central Ohio Revolutionary Socialists has been suspended from OSU following our December 7th teach-in titled “Intifada, Revolution, and the Path to a Free Palestine.”

We’ve now released our full statement which you can read here.

We’re also asking our supporters to sign our Petition of Reinstatement which can be found here.

The dramatic, earth-shattering events in Palestine starting on October 7 have taken many people by surprise. However, attentive observers are not. 

 Few expected that Palestinian fighters would be parachuting into southern Israel on October 7; that instead of capturing a single Israeli soldier - as done in 2006 - hundreds of Israelis, including many soldiers and civilians, would find themselves captive in besieged Gaza. 

 The reason behind the ‘surprise’, however, is the same reason that Israel is still reeling under collective shock, which is the tendency to pay close attention to political discourses and intelligence analyses of Israel and its supporters - while largely neglecting the Palestinian discourse.

 For better comprehension, let us go back to the start.

Old Dispatch building

I have received and read a daily printed newspaper since I was learning to read more than 70 years ago. I grew up with the print edition of the Sunday New York Times, and the daily morning Pittsburgh Post Gazette and afternoon Pittsburgh Press. When I moved to Evanston, Illinois for college, there was the daily delivered Chicago Sun Times as well as the New York Times. And the equivalent in Toronto (Globe and Mail, Star), Dallas (Morning News, Times Herald), and San Antonio (Express-News).

And then we moved to Columbus, Ohio in 2004. Delivery was not a major issue until the right-wing-Heritage Foundation-supported and influenced, anti-editing and ideological USA Today/Gannett purchased the failing Columbus Dispatch from the Wolfe family. The Wolfes bled it into the red in part by never distinguishing between their own private development interests and owning the city’s only major daily newspaper.

Todays presentation features the great AMORY LOVINS in a monumental recorded conversation on the rise of a renewable/efficiency-based economy.

This discussion was presented at a Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection zoom (#157, Part 2) on November 13, 2023.

In 1975, Amory gave a pioneer talk at the TOWARD TOMORROW FAIR in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Amory's landmark vision introduced the world to the coming realities of a totally green-powered Earth.

In his later Road Not Taken, published by Foreign Affairs Magazine, Amorys breakthrough insights have helped lay the foundation for one of humankinds most critical technological revolutions"and one of it biggest industries, with revenues reaching into the multi-trillions, and job-creating in the multi-millions.

Amory later personally delivered the basic memorandum to Jimmy Carter, helping to birth (among other things) the establishment of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
