Revolution and beer Reactionary of the week: Camp Emanuel, until he gets the message on Schools!

They don’t even bother to deny it any longer. Kind of like an old hooker in a prom dress, something isn’t quite right, but you just know what’s really going on here. City hall and CPS officials don’t even deny the Public school/Charter school swap scheme any longer. They don’t even touch the all too apparent scheme to break the back of the Chicago Teacher’s Union-a thorn in the side of the Money-Masters that the CPS and City Hall trollops in prom dresses submit to. And they simply disregarded how their supposed billion dollar shortfall suddenly turning into a $379 million Dollar surplus

The Chicago Public School board, Mayor Emanuel, along with far too many puppy-dog Mayoral butt-sniffing Alderman, like Rogers Park’s Joe Moore or Lakeview’s James Cappleman, are so bent over for their Donor Pimps that they don’t simply ignore the people of Chicago regarding school closures, they openly condescend to them. And so camping out in the hallways of some soon-to-be-shuttered school, clogging downtown streets beneath the Mayor’s royal chamber and disrupting the minion-like meetings of CPS officials fall on deaf ears and depleted souls. Those things, while helping to rally the community, fall on deaf ears to politicians and CPS board members who see constituents as merely reeds to be whipped by the shrill winds perpetrated by their cohorts in the media.

Community is important only as a means to their self-serving end for these cretins.

They will not get the message until this community takes the issue peacefully but resolutely to their doorsteps. When the mayor can no longer spirit himself from his La Salle Street Lair, or the CPS Board members retreat from their Clark Street chamber of disdain to the bubble of their protected neighborhoods, then they might have to take, let’s say, more acute notice of the actual desires and demands of the people of Chicago.

So the rampant and repugnant royalty ruining Chicago Schools has agreed to benevolently spare 4 public schools-for now. Certainly they’ll proceed apace once people allow themselves to become sufficiently distracted, or the combined onslaught by the City Hall-media-police grand alliance exhausts or discourages them into submission. You know, like all healthy democracies, in which the government dictates rather than listens. 50 schools will be axed to make room for under-the-table financial deals, like the southside rail yard, or for their intention to open new charter schools, creating a tiered education system relegating many students to poverty and subservient labor.

And, as an aside, how does it make sense that if 54 schools in Chicago are “under-utilized” that opening 60 charter schools solves that problem? Just asking.

Call it Camp Emanuel, Outpost Byrd-Bennet, Vitale and Ruiz-Villes and Fort Hines. They should hear the people of Chicago. They should be made to actually hear the indignation and outrage of the citizenry of this city-morning, noon and night. They think it is about their money, their politics, and their advantage. They are better than all of us by virtue of their lofty position, or so they would believe. Time to bring the oligarchs and dictators back to earth! Time to remind them that they are employees! Time to remind them that they have assumed a perversion in their assumption of absolute power that this community will no longer tolerate! Time to remind them morning, noon and night, at their clubs and bars, at their grocery stores and gas stations, at stop signs, and when they are taking a crap if need be. Not a moment’s escape or a minute’s rest until they hear us loud and god damned clear!

Revolution and Beer…of the week: Brunehaut Gluten Free Belgian Amber Ale and Blonde Ale.

Continuing with the theme in which all things in the Universe seem to intersect at that beautiful moment in which activism and beer meet. It is what we do at Revolution and Beer. Activism isn’t about over-turning cars, loud chants or Occupying public places. Activism, true activism covers a broad spectrum depending fully upon the injustice or cause being championed. Boiled down into a common denominator, it is about lessening the burden, or sharing the burden from neighbors and those struggling against burden. May is Celiac’s Awareness Month. Brian and I love food and beer, and since there is no cure for Celiac’s currently, what could prove a better mission? The only treatment for Celiac’s is dietary maintenance.

Earlier in the month, we talked about a line of gluten-free beers from New Planet. The regular beer drinker will note the difference in brewing gluten-free beers with sorghum syrup rather than malts. In a pinch, these beers would pass most tastes. For those with Celiac’s or other’s with wheat sensitivities, they are an anchor to a more normal-feeling diet. One of the three from New Planet was very enjoyable. Check out the piece for which beer I’m talking about.

But alas, the Belgians have weighed in with two strong offerings in the Gluten-free arena. Brewed by Brasserie De Brunehaut in Brunehaut, in southwestern Belgium, Brian and I sampled the Amber Ale and Blonde Ale, both touting a respectable 6.5ABV. Following a 1000 tradition, these beers reflect that value and artistry of that legacy. We could not tell, as with other gluten-free beers, that they were indeed gluten-free. Immediately we started talking food. Because of the health dimension to the topic, we reached out to our friend, and author of Simply Healthy Gourmet, Carole Cooper, living an enviable existence in the wilderness overlooking the Lake Superior shore.

A warning, if you have an issue with delicious food, please leave the room now. We’ll wait a moment for those folks to leave. A little more. Some folks seem to be moving a little sl…Okay, their gone. Let’s talk food.

It’s grilling season, so I quickly inquired about a hearty meet dish that would highlight both of these beers simultaneously. The Amber Ale, has these really pleasing toasted hops flavor. The Blonde was full-bodied and a bit sweeter, pouring to a great clean golden hue, with a strong white head. Carole instantly referred me to a roasted lamb dish on page 75, that I thought was the perfect choice, the herbal earthiness of the lamb was a natural for these beers. But her side dish in the book was made with Orzo pasta, a bit of a no-no for the gluten in the pasta. Try as I might, I couldn’t find a gluten-free Orzo.

“How about a Basmati rice?” she offered as a substitute for the Orzo. Add to the basmati, chopped asparagus, juicy, sweet red grape tomatoes with a drizzle of Olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon, and you’ve got a tasty and satisfying side dish. But here’s the kicker, not all rice is gluten-free. Commercial or restaurant rice can have ingredients and additives that add gluten. Make it fresh yourself with a teaspoon of cumin for that smoky taste, or about a half teaspoon of mint to the cup of rice, pinch of salt and 13/4 cups of water for a different twist; Gluten-free and delicious.

We truly enjoyed these beers, and were tossing around possibilities for both gluten and gluten-free dishes. And we are really interested in readers sharing their gluten-free recipe pairings that can be shared with our gluten-sensitive neighbors. In the meantime, kick back with an Amber or Blonde Ale from Brasserie De Brunehaut. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. See, who said that activism couldn’t be fun, and delicious!

New Student-Run Cooperative Opens in Chicago’s Austin Neighborhood

Center for Workplace Democracy // workerdemocracy.org

Manufacturing Renaissance // mfgren.orgCHICAGO May 14, 2013 — Four African-American high school students at the Austin Polytechnical Academy (APA) in Chicago are applying their computer-aided manufacturing skills to a new worker-run business. The cooperative, called MECH Creations, will manufacture trumpet mouthpieces at APA, 231 N. Pine Avenue, Chicago, IL. With assistance from the Center for Workplace Democracy (CDW) and Manufacturing Renaissance (formerly Center for Community and Labor Research), the students, now business owners, have secured a patented design, created a business plan, acquired materials, and are ready to begin production this May.

“We’re starting MECH Creations to bring new business to our community,” says Jennifer Curtis, a 18-year-old student at APA. “We are four young women who will work for ourselves and our neighborhood to show that anything is possible for young people.”

MECH Creations will be debuted to the Austin community, and the city at large, on May 16th. Students will host a neighborhood event at 5pm, at APA, where they will present their plans and goals, and screen the documentary film, “Shift Change,” which tells the story of worker cooperative businesses that compete successfully in today’s economy.

“In school, we learned about the Mondragon Cooperative, the world’s largest worker-owned cooperative in Spain,” says Desiree Wordlaw. “It was started by five young people who attended a technical school that Austin Polytech was modeled after. We hope we can be as successful as them, and help bring money and jobs back to Austin.”

The Center for Workplace Democracy’s mission is to develop strong local economies and grow small businesses by promoting worker owned cooperatives, and other models of employee ownership.

“Chicago’s schools are full of graduating seniors without job prospects,” says Dennis Kelleher, Executive Director, Center for Workplace Democracy. “We’re partnering with students at Austin Polytech to support the idea that young people can start and run their own businesses, and take a leading role in revitalizing their communities.”

Home Occupiers Successfully Demand Possessions from Foreclosure Profiteers

Two home occupiers whose belongings were seized by Invitation Homes in a lockout last month have finally been promised an opportunity to get their possessions back. Today at 11:15 a.m. in front of 1527 W. Birchwood, they will gather to urge the company to keep its word, and will also ask the company to donate the home to a community organization. In addition, they will discuss the ways that Invitation Homes is profiting from the foreclosure crisis.

After supporters launched a call-in campaign on behalf of Michael Donley and Carmilla Manzanet yesterday, an Invitation Homes employee granted permission for the family and their supporters to retrieve their belongings.

Invitation Homes, a subsidiary of the investment giant Blackstone Group, is a management company that gobbles up foreclosed homes at discounted rates, then turns them into high-end rentals. Since it was created last year, Invitation Homes has spent $3.5 billion purchasing homes in cities across the U.S. Many of these homes may have been foreclosed on wrongfully; the foreclosure case of the home that Donley and Manzanet occupied was actually vacated (overturned) because the law firm handling it, Fisher and Shapiro, filed false affidavits (though the foreclosure was re-done, and later went through). In many cases, families victimized by the law firm didn’t have the opportunity to fight their foreclosures, because they had already left their homes by the time the fraud was discovered. This kind of spurious transaction represents an opportunity for Invitation Homes, whose business model maximizes on the misery of the mortgage meltdown.

While banks and investors have done nothing to make Rogers Park a more habitable neighborhood, Carmilla Manzanet and Michael Donley have put $1,000 of their own money, plus thousands more in volunteer labor, into clean-up and restoration of the property. They even rented a dumpster to remove debris from the house, which had been vacant for at least four years.

“We put our own sweat equity into the home, something that no bank or investor has had the willingness to do,” Donley says. “We were giving life to the home, we made it breathe again. A foreclosed home is not an asset to the bank – it is a liability. People are the lifeblood of any home.”

After finding themselves on the brink of homelessness earlier this year, the couple had hoped to make a new life for themselves and their high-school-age children. Neighbors, who had to deal with cutting grass in the eyesore home’s lawn, had previously talked about trying to get it demolished. They were happy that someone had moved into the home.

On Monday April 29, Donley and Manzanet were approached by an employee of of Invitation Homes, which had just purchased the property from Bank of New York Mellon. The employee never identified himself to the couple as a representative of the building’s owner. The Invitation Homes employee asked if the couple had legal papers to the house, then immediately called the police. Donley and Manzanet’s home was swarmed by at least ten police officers, who pointed a gun at Manzanet’s head and arrested the couple on trespassing charges. After a harrowing ordeal, they were released. The next day, the employee set up an appointment to let the couple retrieve their belongings, but reneged. They were arrested again.

IInvitation Homes’ actions were illegal; Illinois law requires written notice as well as legal proceedings before residents can be evicted from a property. Worse, while Carmilla Manzanet and Michael Donley were in jail, Invitation Homes callously boarded up the building with their children’s backpacks and school books, their pet cat and pet turtle, and all their belongings inside.

Says next-door neighbor Jeanne Wirspa: “They should at least be able to get their belongings.”

Revolution and Beer Reactionary of the Week: The Right, Reality and the IRS

If you could see the thumb and forefingers of my left hand right now, they would be rubbing together in a slow circular motion. Know what that is? That’s me, playing the world’s smallest violin as I weep for Tea Party groups that may have been audited, or were simply looked askance at by the IRS. That’s right, I said askance, because I like that word and rarely get to use it in conversation.

So here’s the deal, over the weekend the story broke that the IRS had targeted rightwing groups and Tea Party groups before the election. While I’m not prepared to let Obama off the hook for anything, let’s take a look at this with a bit less of a conspiratorial eye. And don’t give me “where there is smoke, there is fire,” blather. If that was true, then we can say that the IRS maybe didn’t look close enough at some of these so-called grassroots Tea Party groups, you know the ones who liked to call Citizens United free speech. Well, it still remains to be seen whether all that these groups got from parents, Dick Armey and Karl Rove, were rightwing talking points.

Please don’t dwell on the imagery of Dick and Karl actually conceiving the Tea Party. I did by accident, and now I can’t get it out of my head. Oh God, make it stop!

The cries of “foul” by the right fall hollow pretty quickly. Particularly thin is their offense at being profiled by the IRS, especially since the Right has defended the use of profiling with regards to Muslim men, Blacks and Hispanics. By that same standard, all of the sudden “patriot” this and “heartland” that, all the slack-jawed spawn of FreedomWorks, American Crossroads or even MoveOn.org, the Heritage foundation and other rightwing pseudo-corporations should surely have thrown up potential red flags to tax auditors. Going into an election, with the scam-artist money changing scheme that in reality is Citizens United, how could anyone not be at least suspicious of shenanigans?

After Citizens United, these sham 501c3 TAX EXEMPT groups covered the national political lanscape thicker than fat flies on manure, like stink on a monkey or pimples on a gamer’s butt cheeks. We started a 501c3 on Chicago’s south side called HelpHouseChicagoHomelessPeople that actually helped people, rather than serve as a payday loan alternative to millionaire politicians pandering to your affinity for Nascar. These front groups for the exchange of political fortunes, hiding behind veneers of “freedom” or “liberty” or some other crap the socially, ethically and politically lazy refrigerator-magnate themselves to did and do nothing positive to improve the nation, its dialogue or its future.

And you have likely heard the leftwing and so-called Progressives chattering about many of these points. They don’t get off that easy. They were also playing this political spit-swap game, but not nearly to the extent of the Tea Party groups.
There is, however, one glaring difference between the Tea Party and Occupy with regard to all this. You’ll only find it here, and it is this; so the Tea Party was audited, perhaps profiled more frequently that say Democrat or Progressive groups. Now you have an idea of what it is like to be Black in America.

More than that, the Tea Party got an audit for supporting austerity and providing cover for the banks. Occupy was beaten, censored, subjected to false arrests and trumped up charges and had their civil rights trampled for accusing the banks, challenging government/corporate incest and for defending the poor. I weep for you, Tea Party. Must have been tough, huh?

But this point makes it abundantly obvious that the Tea Party, the Right and Republicans…and I’ll throw some Lefties in there as well…are not really about the Constitution, only the constitution for them. They are not about defending civil rights, only their civil rights. They aren’t really for Americans, but for themselves. The irony is, the people who were fighting for those things got hammered by the democrats, the media and the right. They were mocked and ridiculed and harassed, but no one made a sound about that. They still haven’t, because for too many in this nation it is still about selfish interests and not about their neighbors.

Suck this one up Tea Partiers. You got played. Now, time to figure out who you should actually be pissed at. Maybe you’ll actually start looking at candidates on both sides of the isle and beyond for who they really are, and not for the slogans they shout, or the feel good barf they feed you. Time to realize that getting involved in your government goes beyond blindly waving a flag at a WWF match, smashing a Keystone Beer can against your forehead while waving a gun and snarling in some tribal grunt, “Don’t mess wit America!”

Chicago author Organizes Counter-Protest against Gunmen marching on Washington DC July 4th

Reasonable, responsible and rational discourse has been hijacked by extremists

On July 4th Chicago author and activist WC Turck will lead a counter-protest in opposition to a planned march on Washington DC by armed gunmen with loaded weapons led by radio talk host Adam Kokesh. Turck vows a peaceful counter-protest, which he describes as a “Gandhi moment,” with activists blocking the gunmen’s access to Washington with arms linked. The counter-protesters will not provoke, incite or insult, nor will they yield. “We will not resist, nor will we be moved,” said Turck

This is not about gun banning, a fear of guns or an infringement on the Second Amendment, which very clearly describes a “well regulated militia.” The “regulated” word is critical to mature, rational and moral discussions about the place and importance of guns in contemporary American civil society. That discussion is important in stemming the bloodshed on America’s streets, but also important to people who wish to protect their families. However, the NRA and “gun pornographers,” as Turck describes them, have chosen to raise the rhetoric to a level of hysteria and paranoia. Rather than treating weapons as a tool, the NRA has promulgated them to a near religious fervor, and is forcing gun proliferation upon Americans everywhere in civil society.

This counter-protest, dubbed “Target July 4th”is not about Mr. Kokesh or Turck, but about returning the discourse to a rational, reasonable and responsible level. Kokesh has promised to lead a march of armed protesters across the Memorial Bridge at noon on July 4th. Currently Kokesh claims that 3,000 armed supporters will join him. Turck vows to meet him at the center of the bridge with fellow activists and peacefully prevent the group from entering Washington, but Turck dismisses the idea of potential violence, saying that he believes that this instead should be viewed as an opportunity for substantive dialogue.

Turck welcomes the opportunity for a dialogue with Mr. Kokesh, but adds, “If Mr. Kokesh leads a march across that bridge I will be there to peacefully and respectfully prevent him from entering Washington DC with weapons. I will not prevent his freedom of speech, but this is a threat, and threats are not protected speech. If he arrives without a weapon, I shall stand beside him and not against him as fellow Americans.”

Revolution and Beer…of the week, Shmaltz brewing Co.’s Coney Island Lager, and this damned blog is whatever I say it is! No offense.

All right, maybe that’s a little on the aggressive side, and I don’t mean to necessarily be that way, but we are talking New York beer, so I suppose a bit of attitude is appropriate. See, I could have gone any number of directions with this piece. I could rightly have talked up or down or anywhere else about Shmaltz Brewing Co.’s Coney Island Lager. But you and me, we’re tight as ticks, ain’t we? Ain’t we? I said, ain’t we! That’s better.

See, this afternoon, and this is just between you and me, but I was feeling all philosophical and what not. I could have been using all these big collge-boy words, talking about 5.5%ABV, airy-cream-colored heads and this full bodied lacing. Maybe I was gonna tell you about Marris Otter and Red Wheat and light Munich 6L among the 8 Malts in this beer, or Warrior, Amarillo and Cascade hops. But we’re gumbahs, and you and me we don’t go for all that. Do we? Huh? That’s right. Speak up when I ask a question. Don’t be shy.

I know. I know. You like the complex layering of Shmaltz beers. th ey just feel substantial with each taste, am I right? For the Coney Island lager, you liked that caramel fruitiness, that rich and full sweetness from that deep amber color that finished so nicely with a hoppy tickle at the back of the throat. You like that sweet aroma. don’t you? Go ahead, don’t mind me. Breathe it right in before you take a sip. I’m not judging you. Who am I to judge, right? Don’t answer that. I mean it. Seriously, don’t answer that.

Here’s the thing, between you and me, and I don’t care who knows it, but just between us, I’m proud you had the guts to pick this one up. Shows some Chutzpah. You’re gonna need that to hang around mopes like me. By the w ay, never call me a mope, capiche?

Yep, I’ll take a bit more of that. Just two fingers of that Shmaltz Brewing Co.’s Coney Island Lager- vertical not horizontal fingers. There it is! There’s that smile I like.

And what’s that? What about the blog? Don’t take this the wrong way, but this damned blog is whatever I say it is! Now get going. No offense taken. You and me, were still like two peas, we’re like Velcro you and me, like dandruff and a black coat-inseparable. I’m getting all choked up here. Now beat it, and god love ya!
