Before thee, we kneel

Before thee, we kneel.

Who would have guessed that one of the most prejudicial issues over the century, anti-semitism (slavery, fascism being an example of two others) would be the pivotal issue to bring down civilization, if we can define "civilization" as the actual realization of a cultural mileau. Meaning that whether good or bad, most likely and common being good and bad in relative ratio.

The fall begins in the modern age, world war 2, the holocaust, the culmination of the western world's almost universal prejudice of judaism. Historically, like slavery, the roots go back to the medieval fears of race, religion, and power.

As we, the left, would have it, israel deserved to be punished for its seventy five years of ethnic cleansing, stealing of land, oppression of the innocent in lieu of the not so innocent idea that jews are the chosen people of an empty god. Although international humanitarian law outlines and defines what may or may not be genocide, ethnic cleansing, and other far breaching abuses of power within the international community, it does not define punishment, mainly because punishment is not within the jurisdiction of non-state tribunals and certainly not tribunals without enforcement capabilities. 

Enforcement of crimes against humanity are the exclusive right of might makes right' as we see in the two main worldwide conflicts in the world today, and their main adversarial combatants-Russia/ukraine and the tri-USA/israel/ terror factions. These two wars symbolize all the main contradictions of rising fascist states. All parties in these conflicts display anti-democratic, anti-freedom, pro-fascist doctrines as their method for success. Depending on which one you may "talk" to.


Israel on the other hand takes the hard line, we are not above the law, we are the law.

As these national leaders of the most powerful on earth, we, the kneelers, must bow.

Conversation and Change #4 by Kraig Scwartz History of World Social Forum

                              World Social Forum   After the Cold War ended neoliberal capitalism , no longer fettered by the Soviet Union, expanded to all parts of the world.   Whether it be farmland in Ethiopia, or the fisheries of our great ocenas, the world increasingly came under the control of unbridled “free market” capitalism and the corporations that serve and benefit from those markets.   Under the sway of neoliberalism, governments deregulated their economies, cut back or eliminated social spending,   pushed aside labor unions and promoted “free trade.” Perhaps the major economic hallmark of this post Cold War era was the expansion of world trade through the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trade organizations.  The yearly World Economic Forum held at Davos, Switzerland embraced the  world-wide neoliberal capitalist order.  Yet,  strong resistance to this push for the commodification of the world emerged in various parts of the world, most notably by the indigenous  Zapatis

Stop Standing Around

Stop Standing Around Here we are. We, the american people get to play the german people, get to dress up our consciousness for genocide denial. Are there even words strong enough, we've spent our collective hubris already. Some 13 or so saudi terrorists crashed planes into the towers, the pentagon, a field in pennsylvania and the people of afghanistan paid the price, the people of iraq were thrown in for good measure and last week america threw in with the twisted dictatorial netanyahu. America is Revenge. Saudi Arabia never saw a bomb, a plane, tank, had its water shut off, its food supply, its white flowing robe empire stripped clean. This week we supported and encouraged the wrong nation to do what it has wanted since 1948. The arabs knew it in 1967 and 1973, that the zionists have eyed the entire region. The Zionist are not the Taliban nor Hamas, though they are not any more exemplary. Their treatment of women is just as foul, their egalitarianism still bound by prejudices form

A General Strike?

http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE,  A General Strike?  'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now.  If the 9th Circuit does right will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s?   I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way thinks are going, that Reichstag moment could comer soon than we may have anticipated.  Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge ?  Yet, I'm optimistic.  I have visited or done a little work with a few different organizations recent
