Farewell? To WTCD

[just saw Lazlo's post on truthaction courtesy of Jpass....I think here's where the discussion should take place...so here's the blog I wrote this morning. 

Hey everyone,

Hey guys,

Thought you might want to check out my new video. Here's the thread on blogger:

Planet of The Arabs

Posted this over at the truthaction forum and thought it would be a good topic for discussion here as well.   

Planet of The Arabs

A trailer-esque montage spectacle of Hollywood's relentless vilification and dehumanization of Arabs and Muslims.
Inspired by the book "Reel Bad Arabs" by Dr. Jack Shaheen

Official selection of the Sundance Film Festival 2005

Out of 1000 films that have Arab & Muslim characters (from the year 1896 to 2000)
12 were postive depictions, 52 were even handed and the rest of the 90O and so were negative.

Journalists and Genocide

Posted this over at truthaction.

http://truthaction.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1936

In light of the forthcoming History Channel hit piece.
I was shocked -- shocked I tell you -- to hear that the producers didn't bother interviewing the likes of David Ray Griffin or Bob Bowman.

The piece at truthaction is fairly long so I won't bother posting it here, but please give it a read if you have a few minutes.

I explore the idea of whether any of the mediawhores who carry out these disinformation campaigns can and ever will be held accountable in a court of law.

My sad conclusion is that they most likely will not. However, I'm anxious to hear if anyone can come up with a plausible scenario whereby the Bill O'Reilly's and Rupert Murdochs of the world are brought to justice.

Latest Controversies

First of all:

"Jewishness". Is that a word? This seems to be the theme of the day.

I'm curious:

What is a "jewish" person? Is it race? Is it religion?

Am I supposed to be defined by the fact that I'm Irish/Scottish/English and that my father's father was a Protestant?

My father is an agnostic; does that make me one too? (I am, incidentally;)

Seems silly in this day and age, what with advanced molecular biology and all.

We're all human beings, we're all cursed/blessed to live on this planet as she zooms through the universe. It's time to put aside all this race/religion nonsense.

The Ghost in the Machine

Here is a wonderful article to send to family members and friends still under the delusion that the Bush administration is somehow interested in “freedom” and “democracy”.

Most articles on Strauss are either too short, too long or too cerebral for the average reader. This piece strikes a nice balance and states in plain language exactly what Strauss – and by extension, the neocons – are all about:

A few thoughts…

While watching this drama unfold I couldn't help but think of my studies in anarchism. Perhaps this blog will help somewhat.

First of all, division isn’t always a bad thing:

"The anarchist alternative is that of fragmentation, fission rather than fusion, diversity rather than unity, a mass of societies rather than a mass society" (Ward)

This is another way of saying that individual freedom should be respected above all else, and that people should not be coerced into “fusing” with the mass like one-celled amoeba.

But division can also produce the aforementioned “people’s front of Judea” phenomenon: squabbling camps easily manipulated by a united enemy.
