🚀🇺🇸🚀 Space Is Not Black

This report appeared in the June 30, 1969, issue of The Nation.

The Rev. David Eaton, pastor of Washington, D.C.’s largest inner-city Unitarian church, spoke as follows to a white suburban audience filled with space and electronic experts: “The $23 billion we’ve spent going to the moon has stolen money the black man needs for job retraining and schools.”

This black view of space is becoming more apparent. During the Apollo 10 moon orbit, a civil rights group picketed the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, demanding that money be switched from bases on the moon to housing on the earth. The Afro-American continues its wry comments about a country that can send men to the moon but cannot find jobs at home for its black population.

Even white political leaders are picking up the theme. Sen. Edward Kennedy has urged in several campus speeches that space money be diverted to pressing domestic problems. Rep. William F. Ryan form New York City’s 20th District, put it more strongly: “For years we’ve been blindly rubber-stamping space programs and it’s hurt the poor man two ways. First of all it’s taken money away he’s needed for better schools, housing, things like that. Worse yet, it hasn’t given him anything in tertian in the way of a better job.”

Those concerned with the unemployment and under-employment of Negroes are disillusioned with more than NASA. They are upset that the entire system spends millions on designs by white engineers, drawn up in buildings built by white contractors, where the offices are full of white secretaries. They say the problem of discrimination goes all the way from the electrical unions that install wiring for the computers to paper companies that supply everything from printout forms to towels in the rest-room.

Of more concern to the Negro community, however, is the lack of black personnel in middle management and technical jobs. “Space was a wide open field when it started,” William Beck, science teacher in a well-kept, suburban Negro community, points out. “Nobody knew anything. And look at the kinds of jobs that were created—communications, electronics, many of them not even for college graduates. Black kids could have learned just as white kids… but where are they?”

🇨🇦 Trudeau announces reduction in temporary foreign workers, suggests more immigration changes to come

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday the federal government will reduce the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada after a historic surge that some experts say has fuelled unemployment among immigrants and young people.

The government loosened restrictions during a severe post-COVID labour shortage — a decision that led, in particular, to a spike in the number of low-wage temporary workers.

Trudeau said employers in high unemployment areas — places where the unemployment rate is six per cent or higher — will not be able to hire low-wage temporary foreign workers (TFWs), with limited exceptions for "food security sectors" like agriculture and food and fish processing as well as construction and health care where acute staffing shortages still exist.

In another reversal, the government said employers will no longer be allowed to hire more than 10 per cent of their total workforce through the TFW program.

As well, low-wage TFWs will also be limited to one-year contracts, down from the current two.

📝 Maxime Bernier: Trudeau finally stops listening to his corporate sponsors that demand cheap labour and begins imposing minor restrictions on immigration. All it took was a massive replacement of the White Canadian population and the unemployment graph to rise to an unacceptable figure to do it. Trudeau and the fake conservative, Poilievre who smeared people for speaking out against immigration, will always choose their interests and those of their sponsors and back down when the problem becomes impossible to ignore.

🇳🇪 🇧🇯 🛢 🇨🇳 — Niger Republic resumes export of crude oil to Benin ports through Chinese-funded pipeline

➡️ An agent with the West African Gas Pipeline Company (Wapco), which operates the pipeline, told Reuters that the Aura M, a Liberian-flagged crude oil tanker, had loaded around one million barrels of oil from Niger at the Benin port on Tuesday.

➡️ The ship bound for China, where it was due to arrive on Oct. 10, the data showed. It was last spotted on Tuesday in the Gulf of Guinea, just off the West African coast.

➡️ Niger's disputed ban on Benin related to political disagreements within the West African regional bloc known as ECOWAS that led it to impose sanctions on Niger last year.

➡️ ECOWAS later lifted sanctions on Niger, after junta-led governments in the region coordinated to leave the bloc.

🇩🇪 Kühnert rejects Merz’s asylum plans

The bloodshed in Solingen is causing a new dispute over the right asylum policy. CDU head Merz provided concrete deportation plans. Now SPD general secretary Kühnert counters with reference to the Basic Law.

"He has made many proposals, they do not go legally," now countered SPD general secretary Kevin Kühnert in the ARD "Morgenmagazin" – and rejected Merz’s plans for a tightened asylum policy. He referred to the individual right to asylum. Merz's plans did not go, "because the constitution, our basic order, is contrary".

"The answer cannot be that we, among other things, are people who flee Islamists themselves, (...) now slammed the door at their noses," Kühnert argued. Rather, the radicalisation of young men must be countered. "We need to look at hate preachers in the net, we have to look at how radicalisation is taking place," said Kühnert.

Kühnert assured that the government is working on solutions when it comes to deportation of intensive criminals. In the case of Solingen's suspect, he could have been deported to Bulgaria, said the SPD politician. Bulgaria was "please all we read," to take back the man. The state government in North Rhine-Westphalia must now "lay on the table" why the return did not work.

According to information from SPIEGEL, the suspect came to Germany at the end of 2022 and applied for asylum. He has not been known to the security authorities as an Islamic extremist. The suspect's asylum application was rejected. It should therefore be deported to Bulgaria last year. The attempt failed in June 2023. He entered the European Union via the country.
