    By RON JACOBS
    April 4, 1968 was the day that Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed in Memphis, Tennessee. He had been working with the Memphis sanitation workers in their struggle for better working conditions and a union. The night before his assassination he gave his speech that ended with the words "But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I’m happy, tonight.

    Part 7 of "The Logical Reconstruction of Reality":
    Today’s 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King provides a good opportunity to examine Newspeak in full bloom.
    The question, of course, is "Did the US government kill him"? The official answer is "No, a guy named Ray did it alone." The intuitive answer of a large part of the US population (not to mention the rest of the world) is "Yes," and the informed answer of the King family is the title of their lawyer’s (…)

    The secret destruction of (…)

Gori, located in Georgia, a region of the Romanov Czars’ vast empire, was then known as the “Viceroyalty of the Caucasus.” It sits between the Black and Caspian Seas. Stalin’s tenor voice was so good, he (…)

  • Why We Shouldn’t Celebrate Thanksgiving
    22 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Robert JENSEN
    Thanksgiving Day should be turned into a National Day of Atonement to acknowledge the genocide of America’s indigenous peoples.
    After years of being constantly annoyed and often angry about the historical denial built into Thanksgiving Day, I published an essay in November 2005 suggesting we replace the feasting with fasting and create a National Day of Atonement to acknowledge the genocide of indigenous people that is central to the creation of the United States.
