SPIELBERG ON "MUNICH" (the movie - a review)

02-01-2006 07:28

"But of course, the kinds of folks who push an ideology that required the expulsion of three-quarters-of-a-million Palestinians from their lands, and then lied about it, claiming there had been no such persons to begin with (as with Golda Meir’s infamous quip), can’t be expected to place a very high premium on truth." -- Tim Wise, anti-racist, anti-Zionist, Jewish-American activist, essayist & public speaker

This episode features an anti-war speech by Journalist John Pilger recorded September 24 in London. Our favorite child sit-com star Dickie Richards hits the campaign trail as on the Republican ticket. A few semi-rude tunes from when I was a kid.

MUHAMMAD HAQUE POLITICAL POETRY on the abuses of faith and belief

27-12-2005 03:54

Those who held the most power and used it in like measure in the world during the past twelve months also invoked a strongly displayed and powerfully communicated allegiance to religious faith and even belief in God. They used peoples’ ordinary faith in God and religion to incite fear and alarm as tactic in the overall strategy to make people accept rules that they would otherwise reject.

Violate the innocent and deprive the weak and do so with no show of shame of remorse let alone faith.

25-12-2005 12:33

BARS and nightclubs risk being fined and having alcohol licenses withdrawn if their leaflets continue to litter the streets.

Anarchy and Gnosticism

24-12-2005 16:23
