Neo-con indeed a Neo con!
We have been criticized for calling the Neo-cons ‘fascists’. Fascism is too harsh a word. Well, we listen to our critics sometimes. We agree. The now prevalent political ideology in the US (the land of the free of all places!!!) is indeed not the same as Fascism. It looks like it, but there are ...
Free Tibet
‘A group of Tibetans were arrested in western China after public calls for the return of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama’, the BBC Internet reports on 3 August 2007. ‘The incident took place on 1 August at a festival in Litang town in western Sichuan’, Radio Free Asia and the ...
Al-Queda is Al-Guida
We’re probably condemned as terrorists right now. But wait a minute. Let’s analyze the situation first. Then condemn us, if you must. You see, the 9/11 attacks have unleashed international unrest. It is called a war, but it’s not. It’s not a war between nations. It’s not a civil war. It’s not a ...
Prisoner Rehabilitation
Yes, but. There are two questions here: 1) What kind of prisoners?, and 2) What kind of prisons? Serious effort should be made to rehabilitate inmates convicted for lesser crimes. Even twice, if convicted a second time. A third time only, if the court can be convinced there is still a chance of ...
Madness US style and Cuba style
Last Sunday (29 July 2007) it was reported that the US will sell $20 billion worth of arms to Saudi-Arabia. At the same time, an arms deal is in the making with Israel. How many billions worth, we don’t know. We don’t really want to know. This stone age thinking is psychopathic madness. To invite ...
The Migration Question as Shameful as Slavery
The world is in deep crisis. We fight wars ‘for freedom’, but at the same time freedom is undermined as much from within as from without. One wonders whether the US will survive the assault on democracy from the Bush administration. We need drastic solutions, if we are to get out of this mess. The ...
The Race for the People
It’s not the ‘Race for the Presidency’! It’s the race for the people. We see and hear 8 Democrat candidates vying for the presidency. They are all trying to sell themselves on the President Market. Stop it! We need facts. Basically, they are all the same, except for one: Kucinich. He wants peace. ...
Caribbean Seabed Authority (CSA)
Russia is claiming a chunk of the North Pole seabed. They believe it’s full of oil and natural gas. All nations having a Caribbean coastline should claim the Caribbean Seabed. This would include all Caribbean island nations, including the Bahamas and Bermuda, Mexico, the U.S., Central American ...
There is only one church: Truth
And nobody, no religion or church has a privilege to Truth. The reassertion by Pope Benedict XVI of the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church is a grave mistake. According to the BBC the Pope has approved a document saying that Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian ...
GODSPEED, TONY BLAIR
He deserves the benefit of the doubt. A lot of doubt, we may add. The war in Iraq may some day in hindsight prove to have served some useful purpose. We cannot see it now. To make the people free is a good thing. But the means to this end – war – can only be justified as a very very last resort. ...
What kind of democracy is coming to the USA?
The US created democracy, but US creationists are now turning it into demockracy. In 1992 Leonard Cohen wrote a song claiming that ‘democracy is coming to the USA’. Did he intuitively feel back then that democratic values were going to decline? Hard to tell, but his song turned out to be prophetic. ...
Solidaridat, e kaminda spiritual
Na e momentunan aki, Mundu no tin direkshon. Hende no sa mas ki ideologia nan mester kere aden. Na Boneiru, por ehèmpel, bo tin e kontroversia entre soshalismo i kapitalismo ketu bai. Partido Demokrat ta kere den soshalismo. Nan a bira miembro asta di e organisashon mundial soshalista (ISO). Den ...
One cannot fight crime with more crime
To be frank, George W. Bush is going to regret this. Maybe the U.S. will be able in the end to quell the insurgency and ‘win the war’ (whatever that means). But you reap as you sow. It is amazing that the Christian government in the USA does not heed such Biblical warnings. We are not talking about ...
