Varieties of Violence

Our society with its fixation on the physical focuses on direct violence and ignores the structural and cultural. Our leaders know that making changes on those levels would threaten their whole system. But as radicals we focus on the structural and cultural because we know that change has to begin at the roots.

(OLDENBURG, Germany) - Terrorists, serial killers, domestic murderers -- their ghoulish deeds fill our news and popular entertainment, interspersed with wars, riots, and brutal repressions. Violence surrounds us.

Where does it come from? The answer propagated by the mass media is that violence is human nature. It's just the way people are.

``Zionism Unsettled``: Neither False Nor Misguided

Time for Obama To Earn His 2009 Nobel Prize

(CHICAGO) - The battle has begun over Zionism Unsettled. The Christian Century opened round one by publishing an attack on Zionism Unsettled, a study guide developed for the study of Zionism, a secular ideology formed in the 19th century, which has had a major impact on Jewish–Christian relations.

The battle will continue June 14, when the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) gathers for national deliberations in Detroit, Michigan.

English Translation of Report from Israel`s Blacklisting Teams

Police, Israel Security Agency (Formally GSS) and Administrative Blacklistings

(TEL AVIV) - Each entry of Palestinians from the Occupied Palestinian Territories into Israel, settlements or seam zone between the separation fence and the Green Line, requires a permit.

Honestly, War is Over

Remarks in Los Angeles, May 10, 2014.

(LOS ANGELES) - When we start talking about ending war, one common reaction -- not as common as "You're a lunatic," but fairly common -- is to propose that if we want to get rid of war we'll have to get rid of something else first, or sometimes it's a series of something elses.

We'll have to get rid of bankers or bribery or the current structure of our government, or the corporate media monopoly. We'll have to get rid of racism or bigotry or extreme materialism. We'll have to abolish capitalism or environmental exploitation or religion or greed or resource shortages or sociopaths, and then we'll be able to move on to abolishing war.

The Prospect of a Fascist Coup in Israel

A new historical era has begun. Any army can rebel by internet.

(London Redress News & Analysis) - Just before Israel’s 66th anniversary, the country acquired a new national hero. If it is true that every nation gets the national heroes it deserves, it was a rather worrying spectacle. The video clip that turned David Adamov from an anonymous soldier into a national figure was taken with a Palestinian camera in Hebron.

Such video cameras have become the bane of the Israeli army. They have been widely distributed to young Palestinians throughout the occupied territories by Israeli peace organizations, especially B’Tselem.
The incident

The War on the Elderly and Disabled - 18 USCA 4 Report

If you need more convincing as to our own holocaust check out the Alice Gore case. After she was railroaded into one of the nursing home 'death camps' the miscreants mined her teeth for their gold filings! Across America this outrage continues!

(CHICAGO) - The evening news reports the kidnapping of several hundred children by terrorists, and the anguished statements of our political leaders; however, these same pols are silent as hundreds of elderly and disabled people are kidnapped and herded into abusive guardianships to be ravaged, stripped of their liberty, stripped of their money, and denied all rights of American citizenship.

The hypocrisy is amazing!

Blinders

Those who manipulate the blinders use marriage for leverage; we think of Yigal Amir, Rabin's "assassin," who got a wacko Russian wife and child for keeping his mouth shut.

(ST. AUGUSTINE) - Talking with my good friend, Tova, about The Transfer Agreement, the horrid agreement between the Labor Zionists and the nazis to slaughter, their mostly, religious Jewish opposition, I spoke of the blinders of the religious Europeans of the 40's, when, somehow, we stumbled upon the abuse of one Jonathan Pollard.

To my deep disappointment, she bought into the Patriot Jonathan crapola, a complicated but typical blinder. She spouted the baloney that Pollard turned down his own freedom because it meant freeing Arab terrorists.

Exodus: Israelites` Enduring Deception

“How come the Egyptians, who eye-witnessed the vengeful wrath of the Exodus god, never glorified YHWH nor converted to Judaism soon after?”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Once again I will talk about the Israelite stories. … Why? Because those stories are still alive and being told over and over again. Those stories have the same effect they had thousands of years ago when they were first told.

Their seemingly perpetual impact is not because they surpass the Shakespearean genius but because the Israelites claimed their stories were written down with a pen immersed with divine revelation- their own divine god of course.

The First Casualty of War is Truth: April 25, 2014 was the 99th Anniversary of the Disastrous Battle of Gallipoli

Gallipoli was just another example of the many shameful episodes in the history of warfare that were lied about or unreported by the war correspondents, military leaders and politicians...

(DULUTH, MN) - A number of years ago I read portions of a book entitled The First Casualty: From the Crimea to Vietnam: The War Correspondent as Hero, Propagandist and Myth Maker by Phillip Knightley.

Knightley points out in that book that in order to start (and then perpetuate) a war, a nation’s leaders have to lie...
