`Welcome to the United Jewish kingdom`

"...it’s also obvious to every person who reads me that there is not a drop of racism, bigotry or anti Semitism in any of my writing." - Gilad Atzmon

Has President Obama become a joke?

I am also wondering if Obama has any real grasp of the fact that largely because of his support for Israel right or wrong, America is becoming as isolated in the world as it is.

(LONDON) - Last Saturday in his radio address to his own people and over the internet to those around the world who still think he is worth listening to, President Obama said, “This week we had two powerful reminders of how we've renewed American leadership in the world.”

That made me wonder which of the two d’s should be applied to him - duplicitous or deluded...

Gaddafi, Settler Occupation and Sitting Bull

(LETHBRIDGE, Alberta) - As I see it the failure of most US citizens to come to terms with their own country's origins holds the key to their ongoing collective inability to appreciate the full horror of the oppressive dynamics governing their formal and informal empires.

It holds an important key to their conceptual limitations in understanding their own extended worldwide system of "reservations" where the wretched of the earth are caged in captive penury through brutal proxy regimes of indirect rule.

The US power grab in Africa

Washington couldn't care less about the "responsibility to protect" civilians; the only thing that matters is the excuse to "protect" Libya's and Africa's wealth for its own interests.

Post-modern Amazon and United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally landed in Tripoli - on a military jet - to lavish praise on the dodgy Transitional National Council (TNC), those opportunists/defectors/Islamists formerly known as "North Atlantic Treaty Organization rebels".

Reflections on the Life and Death of Muammar Gaddafi

The circumstances of his shameful death outside the rule of law bode ill for the humanity's chances of escaping the self-suicide of global warfare.

(LETHBRIDGE, Alberta) - I first learned of Gaddafi from friends in the American Indian Movement of North America. The scholarly and generous Gaddafi offered these folks and their justice struggle help, both in terms of resources and in terms of lending legitimacy to their cause.

Over the years Gaddafi often educated me when I heard his recorded speeches about Israel, decolonization, Dimona, Obama, pan-Africanism, the assassination of JFK and such.
