Uncle Tom’s Executive Home or the House Nigger Mentality of Middle Class

Posted: 08 Feb 2010 12:20 PM PST

Let's pretend for a moment that we were unlucky enough to be slaves on a 19th century Dixie cotton farm. What would you do, if you were granted the privileged position of a 'house nigger'*. Would you count your blessings and thank God that you don't need to work in the fields? Would you do everything in your power to prove to your slave master that he has made the right choice? Would you spend day and night to make his life easier and help him make more money? Or would you use your direct access to him to kill him. Killing one of them, you say wouldn't make any difference and most likely cost your life? Well, then, why not wait until the slave masters have one of their regular get-togethers and take them all out?! Who knows? You might inspire one or the other of your peers to do the same! No, you say, they are not really that bad, plus why should you risk it? You are quite happy with your privileged life as a 'house nigger'. Sure your Uncle Tom cabin is nothing compared to your masters mansions. But it sure is much more luxurious than the field niggers' huts.

Posted: 07 Feb 2010 07:41 AM PST

An Arab-American of Lebanese descent, fluent in Arabic, Anthony Shadid was one of a handful of unembedded Western journalists reporting from Iraq during the US invasion in 2003. At the time, he was The Washington Post's correspondent for Islamic Affairs in the Middle East.

His dispatches from Iraq were about Iraqis, about the destruction visited upon them by a war whose architects claimed that they were bringing democracy to that country. He reported the destruction and mayhem caused by this war by letting the Iraqis speak for themselves: and they spoke of their pain, their anguish, their perplexity and their anger.

Internet Censorship: Major Truth-Providing Websites Blocked By Asia Netcom To New Zealand Users

Posted: 07 Feb 2010 05:45 AM PST

Has Chinese-style internet censorship arrived in New Zealand this year? The question is posed because two major news websites, Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com, both of which are run by documentary maker and radio show host Alex Jones, who is renowned for exposing the truths the mainstream media attempts to conceal, were found to be have been selectively blocked on Friday evening and were still unavailable at the time of writing.

Thankfully, this draconian measure does not effect all internet users in New Zealand however. It appears to be confined to those whose internet server providers, (ISPs), use Asia Netcom for their international internet traffic. Telstraclear, Vodafone and Worldxchange Communications users are not effected, while Woosh, Orcon, Slingshot, Telecom and Ihug users are.

Case in point: Farah’s G2 Bulletin, a subscription online newsletter.

Christmas Day Crotch Bomber Tied to Israel, FBI

Posted: 07 Feb 2010 01:02 AM PST

An Honest Look at Israel

Posted: 07 Feb 2010 12:12 AM PST

A number of politicians and preachers in a few Protestant churches seem to think the Jews still have some special relationship with God. They still think the Jews are “Chosen People” despite that incident, involving His Son. Well, here’s a little story that peers into the Jewish soul which will hopefully wake up a few people.

The latest bit of kosher sleaze comes from “Heeb Magazine” (and no, I am not making that name up). An article in Heeb reports: “For just $4,799, gay porn star Michael Lucas will provide you an inside look at Israel and, possibly, a few Israelis. A Zionist and the owner of Lucas Entertainment, New York’s largest gay pornographic film studio, he’s organizing a group tour inspired by several of his adult films: Men of Israel, Inside Israel and Auditions 31: Israeli Auditions. ‘I’ve illustrated how the country is a modern, chic, desirable destination. Now because of my films, a lot of people have emailed me, saying that they would love to go to Israel. Naturally, I’ve decided to bring tourists there,’ Lucas told Heeb.”

Could Rahm Emanuel Help Barak Unseat Netanyahu?

Posted: 06 Feb 2010 10:56 PM PST

Is it possible that Rahm Emanuel will lead a team of high octane Democratic party pro-Israel political operatives to run the campaign for the former Prime Minister and current Defense Minister Ehud Barak in the next Israeli election? This scenario may not be as far-fetched as many may assume.

Consider that Bill Clinton, after many acrimonious encounters with the intransigent then Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sent his own crack political operatives to assist Netanyahu’s opponent in 1999. Strategist James Carville, pollster Stanley Greenberg and TV advertising man Robert Shrum helped run Ehud Barak’s campaign for Prime Minister. Clinton thought Barak would be able to deliver a peace settlement with the Palestinians. Barak became the Israeli head of state, although he did nothing to promote peace in the region. However, Barak did provide a more congenial ally for the American president. It has been reported that he charmed Clinton who found it difficult to even refuse the Israeli’s most eccentric whim. Other than Barak’s stellar personality, the pro-Israel lobby may have been a contributing factor to Clinton’s unusual solicitousness.
