Have they ever heard of this little document known as the Constituton ? ..... Baby Bush referred to our founding charter as a G-D piece of paper .....Like it or not ObamaCare passed both Houses of Congress , was signed by Obama and hence became the Law of the Land ........

WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME John Chuckman
Of course, the cozy popular myth of America’s Founding Fathers as an earnest, civic-minded group gathered in an ornate hall, writing with quill pens, reading from leather-bound tomes, and offering heroic speeches in classical poses – all resembling Greek philosophers in wigs and spectacles and frock coats - was always that, a myth. They were in more than a few cases narrow, acquisitive men, ambitious for their personal interests which were (…)

One of the most insidious, yet effective, political strategies in existence is what Adolf Hitler called THE GREAT LIE THEORY. Simply put, the great lie theory states that if political leaders take great lies, reduce them to slogans, and unremittingly repeat them they can make people believe that “hell is heaven” and “heaven is hell.” When successfully deployed, great lies can influence all classes of people to act against common sense, common interests, and the common good, and when (…)

This is well illustrated by my book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” (now available for free perusal on the web [1]) that details how British historians, journalists and politicians near comprehensively deleted the horrendous 1942 -1945 Bengali Holocaust from historiography and from general public perception – the whitewashing of an immense atrocity in which Britain with racist White (…)

THE POOR PEOPLE OF EGYPT
John Chuckman
How is it that the people of Egypt, after a successful revolution against the repressive 30-year government of President Mubarak, a revolution involving the hopes and fears of millions and a substantial loss of life, have ended up almost precisely where they started?
After Mubarak’s fall, there were many comments from prominent citizens of one of Egypt’s neighbors, the one styling itself “the Middle East’s only democracy,” expressing great concern (…)

Divestment from fossil fuels is a major way individuals, religious organizations, social organizations in general (e.g. societies, unions) , institutions (e.g. universities), superannuation funds, pension funds, companies and indeed local, state and federal governments can take concrete action against man-made climate change that is threatening the Biosphere and Humanity. We are all morally obliged to divest from companies involved in fossil fuel exploitation and which are hell-bent on (…)
