An Open Letter to the Movement
[Sent to a mailing list in response to a call for more secrecy in future protests]
Sisters and brothers,
We should not be talking about secrecy as a value we should adopt. That is what the corrupt ones who hold power in our society want most. They want to drive us under ground, to make […]
Is supporting Israel truly in America’s best interest?
Whenever I bring up the question of Americas financial aid to Israel, inevitably someone will always try to squash any discussion by concocting “American interests” that are supposedly being protected by Israel. History however seems to paint a quite different story.
It seems that our trusted ally has a strange record of attacking […]
No parallels to Vietnam, eh? None at all! Things are just peachy!
It seems that the number of dead in Iraq now exceeds the casualties of Vietnam in its early years, according to this article reprinted from Reuters.

I responded with a well-based accusation against […]
A Scary Hint of What May Come
After spending several hours reading the report by the Project for a New American Century, “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” I was struck by several curious tidbits that sound all too scary.

The War on American Civil Society (aka War on Terror) Continued…
Déjà vu! There is something eerily reminiscent about being greeted by boys in green army uniforms before boarding a train. Well, at least they got rid of the M-16 submachine guns. Now, if we can just get rid of the soldiers themselves, we’ll be set. They have mysteriously disappeared out […]
