The white man as weapon of mass destruction—part 2

“The history of U.S. and European white power is a history of war and violence inflicted upon the peoples of the world. It is a history of land theft and slavery that gave rise to the dominant world capitalist economy. Continue reading

The white man as weapon of mass destruction—part 1

To understand the impact the white man has had on world history, we must take a look at the deaths, destruction, and chaos that the white man has created. Continue reading

Redefining imminent

The Merriam-Webster definition of imminent is: “ready to take place; especially: hanging threateningly over one’s head.” Continue reading

Capitalism and the Ebola epidemic

Ebola was identified 40 years ago in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, then called Zaire. Two hundred and eighty people died in this first reported outbreak, out of 318 infected, for a fatality rate of 88 percent. Continue reading

‘Kill the Messenger’

What happens to people, ordinary citizens in positions to know and journalists, who report and publicize criminal acts committed by agencies in our government? Continue reading

From Washington’s ‘Fear Factor’ playbook: The Khorasan Group is coming to get us

While our attention had been focused on ISIS, the new and heretofore unheard of Khorasan Group has been organizing and planning to implement a terror attack here in the United States. Continue reading

The theater of politics

According to our president, we are initiating the bombing in Iraq and Syria in order to neutralize ISIS, a group of religious fanatics the U.S. helped grow and gain strength in order to overthrow the Assad regime. Continue reading

Post racist America?

I’m assuming that most of you know the name Michael Brown. He is the 18 year old African-American who was gunned down by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Continue reading

Seeking peace

I am often saddened and frustrated when well-meaning and decent people write or verbalize how Israel and the U.S. missed an opportunity to reach an agreement with the Palestinians which would result in peace. To miss an opportunity for peace, one must attribute to Israel and the U.S. a desire to have peace. Yet when we examine the behavior, not the words of these two countries, one has to wonder if that is truly their goal. Continue reading

Why a Jewish-only state necessitates a program of genocide: Part 2

Last Tuesday, I was having dinner with some friends and, of course, the conversation was dominated by the events in the Middle East. I was complaining about Israel’s supporters and apologists almost always referring to Hamas’ firing of rockets into Israel as the cause of the hostilities. Continue reading

Why a Jewish-only state necessitates a program of genocide

I recently wrote an article that quoted comments made by Israeli heroes and leaders since 1923. Below, I include an update that demonstrates that Israel’s agenda remains constant. Continue reading

Zionist plan for ethnic cleansing

I would like to share with you some of the statements made by Israeli icons and heroes since 1948. These statements help illuminate the real agenda of the state of Israel from its inception. Continue reading

Massacre in Khuza’a

For several weeks, Israel has claimed that they are avoiding, as much as possible, the killing of innocent Palestinian citizens. They claim to have the technology to pinpoint their targets so as to minimize the suffering of ordinary citizens. Continue reading

Israel is a Jewish-only state

What have Zionism and the development of a Jewish state done to the people of Israel? Continue reading

Intimidation: Supporting genocide

As more and more people are speaking out about Israel’s genocidal attacks against the Palestinian population in Gaza, mainstream media executives are trying to put a lid on it. How else can you explain NBC’s action to remove, from Gaza, Ayman Mohyeldin, an experienced, well respected reporter after he described the arbitrary killing of four young Palestinian boys playing soccer on a beach by members of the Israeli Defense Force. Continue reading

The Final Solution

I’m certain that the title of this piece will cause some readers discomfort and anger. That’s good. It’s time for some discomfort. For too long, we have looked the other way in our unconditional support of Israel. Too many support Israel unconditionally, not because they’re right and not because their actions are justified but because they are Jews. Continue reading

The creation of a Jewish state

Israel’s independence in 1948 was marked by the massive migration of Jews from Europe and the Muslim countries to Israel. While hundreds of thousands of Jews were entering the area, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to leave. Continue reading

The effect of language

Pro-life: This is an interesting term for anti-abortionists to use. Is there anyone out there who is not pro-life? Or, another way to put it, who is against life? Life is like motherhood and apple pie, we all are for it. Continue reading

The disappearance

It’s been difficult for me to keep quiet about the disappearance of the three Israeli adolescents over a week ago. I’ve been accused of seeing conspiracies everywhere and that may be true, but governments lie and governments manipulate and cheat and too often we accept what they say at face value. Continue reading

Homegrown terror

A husband and wife terrorist team went on a killing spree last Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada, killing two policemen in a pizzeria and a civilian in a nearby Walmart store. Continue reading

The ‘boys will be boys’ canard has to go

I have done much writing and posting about racism, class warfare, capitalism, imperialism, etc. But one area I have neglected to address is sexism or the status of women, not only in our society, but globally. But since I live in this society, let’s focus here. Continue reading

Making the ultimate sacrifice

Every year we set aside the last Monday in the month of May to take time to think about and honor those men and women who have died defending “our country.” At least that’s what I always thought but while watching a baseball game in Atlanta, Georgia, part of their Memorial Day ceremony was to have 5 fighter jets, flying in formation roar over the stadium to the cheers of the thousands of fans. This caused me to wonder whether we were honoring the men and women who served and died or were we really honoring testosterone. Continue reading

The wonders of the ‘free’ market

In 2010, Michelle Holmes and Wendy Chen, physicians and faculty members at Harvard Medical School, published an observational study in The Journal of Clinical Oncology that showed that women with breast cancer who took aspirin at least once every week were 50% less likely to die of breast cancer. Continue reading

US Supreme Court blasts another hole in the wall separating state and religion

On April 3, I posted an article on religion (“Freedom From Religion”) in which I differentiated between an individual’s right to worship whom he/she wants and how to worship from the destructive history of organized religion. Historically, organized religion has served as a tool of the ruling class to control the masses of people and as a vehicle for wars and intolerance of “others.” Continue reading

Post-racist America?

The post-racist society of the U.S. has taken some serious blows these past two weeks. We have Cliven Bundy, wealthy rancher from Nevada, explaining why the “Negro” was better off as a slave and we have Donald Sterling, billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team expressing anger at his girlfriend for socializing with African-Americans. Continue reading

America’s folk hero

About a week ago, in an article I posted, I asked, “Who is Cliven Bundy?” Today, that question probably does not have to be answered by me. Mr. Bundy is currently the darling of the mainstream media, a man who, with the support of his armed vigilante cowboys, stared down the federal government. Continue reading

White privilege

Who is Frazier Glenn Miller? A white man with a long history of anti-Semitism and racism, a former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, a man who arbitrarily shot and killed three people on Sunday, April 13. Continue reading

It’s God’s will

I just got finished viewing a You Tube video about Israel’s abuse and mistreatment of Palestinian children. In the video, a Jewish Israeli woman claims that God promised Israel to the Jews and therefore, all non-Jews could accept this and leave voluntarily or stay and have Israeli force confront them. Continue reading

This is what democracy looks like?

I often hear, maybe too often, about American Exceptionalism. Of course, that doesn’t include South America, Central America, or even Canada. It’s only about the U.S. Continue reading

Freedom from religion

For a long time I’ve thought about and have been ambivalent about writing this article. People are very sensitive about religion and their freedom to worship and I wasn’t certain how it would be received. I want to state now that I respect people’s right to worship their God in any way they choose. That is not what this article is about. It’s really about the imposition of organized religion and religious dogma into the political, economic, and social lives of a worldwide multi-ethnic reality; the imposition of beliefs that can deprive others of their rights. Continue reading

As American as apple pie

Michael Dunn, the white man who murdered Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old African-American, while arguing over the loudness of the music being played, was found guilty on four of the five counts with which he was charged. Continue reading

Illusions or delusions

Being delusional is a psychotic state of being, where the individual cannot distinguish between reality and his/her personal fantasies, while holding on to illusions usually indicates one’s willingness to be deceived. Living in the U.S., it is often hard to understand whether we are dealing with mass illusions or delusions. Continue reading
