SPC BF Aff--Round 1 Valley terror ListTournament: Valley | Round: 1 | Opponent: Niles West JB | Judge: Shane Stafford Bolender 13 (Keith Bolender, University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies on American Foreign Policy and the Cuba Revolution, 5/31/13, The Guardian, “Cuba is hardly a 'state sponsor of terror',” http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/31/cuba-us-terror-sponsors-list) JA This designation doesn’t have a policy basis – the designation proves the ARBITRARY and IDEOLOGICAL nature of these justifications, rooted in reflexive HATE instead of any REAL ARGUMENT This week, another terrorism watch list … to ourselves than any Castro brother ever did.¶ Cuba’s targeting is not neutral—Its placement on the list is a political tool to preserve united states imperialism. Policy is NOT a field of simulated decisionmaking, but IDEOLOGICAL AFTEREFFECTS Considering that Cuba is quite blameless, …Cuban Five a good part of their wildly excessive penalties. Terrorism discourse silences dissent and makes it impossible solve the root cause of terrorism A related problem for the “terrorist sanctuaries” … ongoing problem of civilian-directed state terror. By portraying the terrorist as a foreign other fundamentally opposed to pristine Western ideals, the United States rationalizes PERMANENT GENOCIDAL VIOLENCE For nearly two centuries the rationalisation … protected by keeping terrorism at a distance.¶ Specifically, the United States supports acts of terrorism against the Cuban people. The LIST obfuscates how terrorism is a weapon of the STATE, not just ANTI-STATE formations This violence against the Cuban people is obscured by a moral framework that privileges “national security” over the lives of those designated the enemy. By scapegoating the Cuban people, the government can justify these killings under a framework of consequentialism The moralistic fundamentalism endemic to this method of counter-terrorism becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Filtering the world through the dichotomy of our exceptional “innocence” and the “terrorist” enemy’s absolute “evil” simplifies political complexity and reproduces terrorism, causing endless violence. Zulaika 3 (Joseba Zulaika, director, Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, 2003, Radical History Review 85 191-199, “The Self-Fulfilling Prophecies of Counterterrorism,” Radical History Review) Plan: The executive branch of the United States federal government should issue an executive order removing Cuba from the State Department State Sponsors of Terror list. Murder DAs in their sleep, Obama’s already pledged to engage Cuba AND can use executive power. In US foreign relations with hostile states… terrorism in the region. Unilateral executive action solves. Although … these. Our role of the ballot is PRIORITIZING the CRITICAL function of the plan before the SIMULATION of state action. We certainly DEFEND the plan, but this is not the SOLE focus of our advocacy – we determine our normative alignment toward TERROR first. In contrast to first order critique… much greater terrorism of state actors The process of deliberation about terrorism should precede discussions about the policy’s outcome, because it frames the terms of the debate In sum, it is almost impossible …the sake of national security. As such, ‘terrorism’ has now …to a significant degree, academic discourse. Critically interrogating the supposedly universal definition of terrorism through the prism of specific policies is a prerequisite to effective political action. This question of definition PRECEDES specific scenario planning The term “terrorism” is one about …sinister grip of hegemons and imperialists. | 9/28/13 |
Shit AffTournament: State | Round: 2 | Opponent: Wayzata GN | Judge: Brohan Sadogopal Observation 1 is Shit— Despite the Massive Potential for Converting Waste to Biogas Energy Along the US Mexico Border, there No Strategy for Cooperative Projects Now The growing potential for renewable energy … rural areas along the border region.4 Specifically, Converting Shit to Energy Will Be a Massive Benefit to Mexico, Produces Viable Sources of Alternative Renewable Biogas Small?scale anaerobic digesters, … the global community (Dong, 2006; UNFCCC, 2009). Hence the Plan: The United States Federal Government Should Substantially Increase its Economic Engagement With Mexico By Fully Providing Funding, Loans and Assistance for Projects to Convert Human Waste to Energy Along the US-Mexican Border. Observation 2 is the Abject: Human Waste is the Model of the Abject—That Which is Simultaneously Intimate and Horrifying to Me—In the Presence of Our Shit We are Forced to Confront the Immediacy and Certainty of Our Mortality 28 In Powers of Horror, Kristeva emphasizes the sheer physical …e othering of woman, is the unhappy recognition that no one can abject the abject. My thoughts on drains are concerned with the meanings … in political authority and social order. The Status Quo Focus on Hygeine With Regard to Waste is a Biopolitical Desire to Smoothly Administer Life—Society Functions as a Sewer to Channel Away That Which We Cannot or Will Not Accommodate in The Everyday Bio-power marks a transformation of political … private surplus made in the (water) closet.2 Such a Biopolitical Focus on Disposability is the Basis for Violence—Our Ability to Eliminate Waste Without Accounting for it is Replicated in Our Treatment of Populations—The Camp’s Maximization of Violence and Death is the Inevitable Result In the current historical moment, as Catherine Mills points …, and death that followed Hurricane Katrina. The Affirmative Embrace of Shit-as-Energy Can Resist This Deployment—Organizing Society Around this Question Resists Dominant State and Biopolitical Discourses and Incorporates the Abject Within the World to Reinvestigate Concepts of Nature and Subjectivity It is around biomass that the resistance to the … compère could have been prouder and more delighted. The rhetoric of the electricity … global forces beyond its control. Finally—The Affirmative’s Public Recognition of Shit Addresses the Most Basic Level of Subjectivity—We Must Embrace the Bodily Excess of Shit as Abject Excluded Object To Refuse Capitalist Demands for Productivity and Fascist Expressions of Violence As is the case with all economies, the anal … infiltrated every domain of social life, most | 1/18/14 |
