…ly, including a court-sized mural depicting Bryant and his daughter in the Philippines. A man in North Carolina even made a custom casket in honor of Bryant that’s currently on display at the Staples Center.

He didn’t get back to her for four months, then told her that the priest she suspected was the father was merely a guest in the LA Archdiocese and not under his jurisdiction. When I called Ward he said to me: “I referred he…

By Mati Wagner

…the process their discriminatory work permits. These “guest” workers, who today number between 250,000 and 400,000 (half of whom are illegal) did not only toil. They fell in love and established families and had children, probably more than 2,000 children, who were sent to state-run schools like Tel Aviv’s Bialik-Rogozin to learn with young Israelis their age to read, to write and to add and subtract—in Hebrew. They also were taught about the mir…

No Schism Here: Hillary v. Sanders and Party Unity

By Daniel Schultz

…can United Methodist Church includes conferences in Africa, Europe and the Philippines. “Schism” is about the dirtiest word in Methodism, behind only “apportionments.” The desire to stay together has caused the UMC no end of headaches, since it locks together liberals and conservatives in an uneasy marriage. But they figure it’s more productive than becoming a bunch of wild-eyed separatists (like my people). I’m generally hesitant to read too much…

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…union salaries and benefits they once had. No wonder they are bitter about today’s union workers: they are the new “haves,” with the good jobs, and they, the abandoned ones, are the have-nots. They are also left out of global civil society. Those of us who live in the plugged in, multicultural urban worlds of academia, especially on the far east and far west sections of the country, see the bright future of globalization. In other regions and in o…

This Narrative of Death that is So Powerful Among Us

By Daniel Schultz

…I think it’s Darius Rejali—documents how those techniques spread from the Philippines and within a very short time, you start to see them in US jails, as those soldiers come home. Walter: I didn’t know that. It’s not surprising, but I didn’t know it. Dan: There’s a University of Wisconsin professor named Alfred McCoy who talks about how the CIA takes these Chinese and Russian torture techniques and there’s a manual produced to show how to resist…

The Sharks Circling Glenn Beck

By Anthea Butler

…nn Beck for his “caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left,” charging that he “brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society.” Kristol is this close to Roger Ailes and the heart of Fox News, so if Kristol is criticizing Beck, then that means that the sharks, instead of being jumped over by Beck, are in the…

By Sarah Posner

…er is Islam, and here the challenge is not likely to be peaceful. Islam is today expanding outward in every direction from its traditional heartland: south into black Africa, east into Southeast Asia and the Philippines, north into Europe. And also West: the fastest-growing religion in the United States is Islam. Islam’s thrust northward into Europe, the heartland of Western culture, is worth a closer look. Islamic immigration into France has been…
