The Mask in '08 - February 12, 2008 Just what is this "Hope" Barack Obama has been peddling? I think that, whether he is aware of it or not, it's about Absolutely Free Painless Absolution for whites. We like it quick and painless. Full Article Bury the Chains - March 03, 2006 This new book by the Adam Hochschild, who brought us King Leopold's Ghost, a devastating account of the Belgian Congo, endeavors to put a heroic spin on the efforts spanning nearly 50 years, of British Quakers and a few upper-class Anglican eccentrics to outlaw the slave trade, which the British Parliament finally did in 1834. Full Article Sorry Jimmy, This IS the 'Real America' - November 15, 05 O yes, this country over the past 230 years has flung out oceans of words, and espoused a great many things, but the 'real America' as experienced by real people the world over is quite another place than the one Carter has enshrined in his heart.

These deities are female, and serpentine in form: the snaking flow of rivers, the flow of menstrual blood. We have from earliest days associated blood with fertility and nourishment, with relatedness, with our human essence. Full Article Chancellor Brown Goes to Africa - January 17, 05 Whether the theme is 'democracy-building' in Iraq, or 'saving' Africa, whether military aggression or rice is being delivered, the assumptions and motives remain the same. And because this is the case, because no shift has taken place in Western attitudes towards the colonized and formerly colonized world, all 'Marshall Plans for Africa" and "Millenium Goals" are like a poisoned apple: Full Article Safe - October 23, 04 I heard a commentator today say that all substantive issues have drained out of the 2004 presidential election, and that the whole thing is boiling down to a few voters' perception of which candidate will make them/keep them safe. It's all come down to fear. Full Article
