Marx Without Marxism? A Study of Karl Marx as an Influential Political Theorist by Loloa Ibrahim
The study of human political behavior raises numerous complexities. Although scientific in principle, it is not an exact science due to the unpredictability and changeability of human society. It not only revolves around factual matters but also answers to claims about how the world is and how it should be. It is often shaped by the social environment of its originator. All these factors ho ... continue
Stop a War by Ed Howes
Stop a War
A nation at war with itself cannot stand. He speaks of American justice and points us to evil while he cuts deals with nuclear armed devils. A friend of al Qaeda, he is the Commander-In-Chief of the most powerful military force on planet earth and the man we call President. I know this is true because I heard it on TV.
In November, 2001, just weeks after declarin ... continue
Nothing to Fear by Ed Howes
March 12, 2003
Nothing to Fear
Terror is meant to change policy. Fear is meant to support policy. This is the Old World idea of balance. Guns change votes and that is why democracy is found nowhere. Nor would we want democracy if we had a choice, because we know the majority is more often wrong than right. In fact, the majority loves to be deceived and chooses deceivers to ... continue
No, Thank You! America, Go Home! by Nevine A. Al Seidi
No, Thank You! America, Go Home!
Nevine A. Al Seidi
America waged war on Afganistan for the head of one man, Osama Bin Laden and his radical group, Al Qaeda ( Arabic for the base). To date, Mr. Bin Laden is alive somewhere on the planet, Islam is still the No. One enemy to the American policy in the Middle East, and the ‘bases` are dozens upon dozens worldwide. What America ... continue
True or False? A Crash- appraisal of the American logic in the War on Iraq by Nevine Al Seidi
Before I start delivering my views to you on the subject of the war in Iraq, I would like to confirm that the word `American` is used here in the sense of the American administration and policy, not in the sense of the nation and its people.
Many complicated arguments took place recently discussing the legitimacy of waging war by the `Land of Freedom` on the `Land of Abraham`. Many i ... continue
Americqa, Jihad is Coming! by Nevine Al Seidi
America, Jihad is Coming!
By nevine Al Seidi |
Friday prayers on the 28th March lasted for hours in all mosques of Cairo ( and all Islamic countries) pushing Arabs for Jihad. Jihad, is fighting in the name of God the enemy of God. The concept of Jihad ( Arabic for Struggle) lies in the belief of the irrelevance of human life next to the interest of the land and the people. Any tr ... continue
What If TV News Had Covered D-Day? by Rusty Cawley
Imagine: What if today?s American TV news had been there to cover D-Day, June 6, 1944?
?Good morning, this is Peter Jennings at ABC News in Washington with this special report. The War Department is confirming this morning that Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, is now in motion. Unfortunately, the news from the battleground is grim for American forces. Despite atta ... continue
Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage. by Arthur Snell
And who ruffled my feathers? My state legislators did when they voted in favor of a bill costing $3m to produce curriculum materials for our public schools. So what?s wrong with that?
All members of the legislature, both republicans and democrats, voted in favor?with the exception of a single republican senator who felt that it was none of their business. He is right. Their job is to ... continue
MURALS by The Bogside Artists
?MURALS?
( A brief excerpt from our book )
The abstract notion of ?society?, much touted by politicians, is, of course, a shibboleth. Society is the sum total of human relationships especially those we designate as `role-playing`. Man is a social being and his life is by definition contextual. How he relates to himself, his work, his friends, his past, his present, his ... continue

It`s the dominant Power of Words.

Thanks by John W. Sammon
I`d like to personally thank a number of people for the screwed up mess the country is in today.
First of all, I`d like to thank President Bush, who pursued a war while ignoring intelligence that contradicted his beliefs, resulting in the very quagmire I predicted months ago.
Next, I`d like to thank his lunatic defense secretary, who continues to downplay the insurgent attacks against ... continue

Clarification of UN Verification
by Gerald L. Campbell
Senior Advisor to the Director
United States Information Agency, 1985-1990
I`ve been frustrated for some time that the administration, foreign leaders, and the press have been referring to the UN personnel charged with determining whether Iraq is complying with UN Resolution 1441 as `inspectors`. An inspector is one wh ... continue

Towards a Strategy of Prevention
by Gerald L. Campbell

A New Look at Labor Day by Robert F. Abbott
A New Look at Labor Day
Robert F. Abbott
A day to reflect on the accomplishments of working people: That`s been the proud tradition since the first, unofficial, Labor Day back in 1882.
But, one of labor`s greatest accomplishments has gone largely unrecognized. Since the end of World War II, working people have bought up a huge chunk of big business. They now own a piece ... continue
No Boondoggle to Tie Foreign Aid to Recipients` Core Values by Marc J. Lane
Official corruption, it`s plain to see, stifles entrepreneurship, innovation and investment in the poorest of nations. That`s one important reason the Bush administration`s visionary Millennium Challenge Account plan would, for the first time, promote prosperity in the developing world by tying foreign aid to a country`s commitment to rule justly, invest in its people and embrace economic f ... continue
Of course everybody was innocent but... by Slawek
I have just read in `Rzeczpospolita` an excellent `Short History of the Jews in Poland`, describing the tragedy of one of the most significant ancient cultures which survived till our times. It happened so that the Jewish nation, persecuted by VARIOUS SPIRITS OF THE TIMES, found several centuries of peace in Poland, located in Central Europe.?
Due to that fact,?since the 11th centur ... continue
The Inverted Saint - Hitler by Sam Vaknin
`My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God`s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter.
In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which ... continue
Fascism - The Tensile Permanence by Sam Vaknin
Nazism - and, by extension, fascism (though the two are by no means identical) - amounted to permanent revolutionary civil wars. Fascist movements were founded, inter alia, on negations and on the militarization of politics. Their raison d`etre and vigor were derived from their rabid opposition to liberalism, communism, conservatism, rationalism, and individualism and from exclusionary raci ... continue
Just War by Sam Vaknin
In an age of terrorism, guerilla and total warfare the medieval doctrine of Just War needs to be re-defined. Moreover, issues of legitimacy, efficacy and morality should not be confused. Legitimacy is conferred by institutions. Not all morally justified wars are, therefore, automatically legitimate. Frequently the efficient execution of a battle plan involves immoral or even illegal acts.
