State Dept Veteran Peter Van Buren Defies US Censors to Recount Failed Iraq Reconstruction
DemocracyNow.org - In "We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People," State Department official Peter Van Buren provides a first-hand account of the faltering and often misguided attempts at reconstruction in Iraq undertaken by the US government. Van Buren published the book after rebuffing heavy State Department pressure to redact a number of passages. Van Buren joins us to discuss the failed efforts he witnessed in Iraq and his struggle to tell his story to the world. "The State department is very much like the Mafia," Van Buren says.

The Iraq War We didn't do too much harm (in Iraq)
'We Meant Well': An Attempt To Rebuild Iraq Peter Van Buren was a career US Foreign Service officer for more than two decades when he left for Iraq in 2009. He discovered that the success of his mission might depend on contented cows and slaughtered chickens. Host Scott Simon speaks with Van Buren about his new book, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People. It's a sharp, bitter and sometimes funny account of his time embedded with the US Army in Iraq. I want to thank you for watching and add that I just post the videos to stimulate healthy debate.

Russell Street Rag, Op. 5
Cascadia Composers presents Seventh Species: Fin-de-siecle A-go-go at Sherman Clay Moe's Pianos in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon Russell Street Rag, Op. 5 Composed in 1974 and revised in 1986 by Gary Noland (born 1957) Performed by Inga Van Buren --- GARY NOLAND'S music has received ecstatic praise from some of the world's leading musicians. He has been called the "Richard Strauss of the 21st century" and the "composer to end all composers" and has been described as the "most virtuosic composer of fugue alive today." Born (April 14th, 1957) in Seattle and raised in Berkeley, he grew up on a plot of land three blocks south of the UC Berkeley campus known as People's Park, which has distinguished itself as a site of civic unrest since the 1960s. As an adolescent, Gary lived for a time in Salzburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where he absorbed many musical influences. He earned a BA in music from UC Berkeley in 1979, continued studies at the Boston Conservatory, and transferred to Harvard where he added to his credits an MA and PhD in 1989. Primarily self-taught, his teachers in composition and theory have included John C. Adams, Alan Curtis, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, William Denny, Robert Dickow, Janice Giteck, Andrew Im and brie, Earl Kim, Leon Kirchner, David Lewin, Donald Martino, Hugo Norden, Marta Ptaszynska, Chris Rozé, Goodwin Sammel, John Swackhamer, Ivan Tcherepnin, and Walter Winslow. He has attended seminars by composers David Del Tredici, Beverly Grigsby <b>...</b>

In Space Travelers and the Genesis of the Human Form (Part 1 of the two books although I found that they can be read in either sequence), Joan furthers her abilities as a trans-dimensional lawyer by challenging the galactic game wardens who have been keeping vibrational tabs on human DNA since Sumerian days of yore, if not longer. She provides multiplex evidence of extraterrestrial visitations to Earth as well as a vast and well-orchestrated cover-up by various government agencies fearful of such information being leaked to the general public, who would probably benefit profoundly from finally knowing the truth. If she wanted, Joan could probably spring us all from this earth prison/breeding farm if she somehow could get to Galactic Central's Supreme Court and its Deep Space Nine to represent us and present her case for our liberation....paranoiamagazine

Armin van Buuren - The Making Of Mirage
Buy 'Mirage' on iTunes: bit.ly Buy 'Mirage' on Armadashop.com: bit.ly Buy 'Mirage - Extended Versions' on Beatport: tinyurl.com It's no secret -- creating electronic music is so much more than sitting behind a computer and doing a few clicks! A great example is Armin van Buuren's masterpiece of an album title-track named 'Mirage'. As the No. 1 DJ already revealed during one of his studio sessions, his brother Eller's band Bagga Bownz had main influence on the way the orchestral track came into being. Eller and his Bagga Bownz band recorded the strings 27 times, the guitar 8 times and the bass guitar 4 times -- and all of that accompanied by a camera. The video we've just uploaded gives you an impression of how and where they were all recorded. They've used 4 studios to record and mix all the tracks together into one mayhem of sound. Strings were recorded in Delft, at Marmalade music, drums at Holland Spoor studios in The Hague and guitars and basses in Nutsville Noiselab, homestudio of Bagga Bownz. All was mixed together in Nutsville Noiselab and then in the studio with the rest of the track in the studio of Armin himself. The idea itself that Armin made up came from Bagga Bownz' first album, called 'Done with the Pain' (available on iTunes). The song that inspired to do so, is called 'Ready or not'.
