Terror is what helpless people experience when destruction of unbelievable magnitude from some all-powerful stratospheric force rains upon them. Victimized by such terror nothing anyone they know, pay tribute or pray to can say or do anything to save them in the wake of such awesome brutality. Neither "lamb's blood above the door post," a crucifix, nor swastika will protect them from the apocalyptic omnipotence showering them with death from above. Having survived segregation, Vietnam, urban riots, Co-InTel-Pro and genocide against slave descendants across the Diaspora, it is clear the power of the lynch-mob has turned the civilized world from humanitarian concerns to embracing Neanderthal savagery.
Back in 1968, I began developing a "Novel Theory" to account for the divergence in attitudes towards death and destruction held by Homo sapiens. A basic proposition is that Homo sapiens ability to dominate Neanderthals through breeding did not eliminate their aggressive tendencies. Like recessive genes, the kill or be killed, dog-eat-dog mentality of Neanderthals can become uninhibited and express itself, as though the Homo sapiens soul has no impact.
Christians supporting the death penalty while claiming to be pro-life compassionate conservatives exhibit this contradiction most clearly. Most vocal backers of G. W. Bush's so-called war on terrorism, these Christians see no hypocrisy in dropping bombs on defenseless people, then dropping food on the same people as a show of compassion. True Christians would know that if America bombed them with only food, America would send a greater message of compassion.
When Saul of Tarsus began his trek to Damascus, he planned to kill every Christian he encountered. There was no doubt he was dedicated to destroying the Christian evildoers before him. His history is that of a Roman, who slaughtered men, women and children simply on an allegation they were Christians. However, between his first step and his destination, Saul experienced the awesome power of truth. Like flowers growing up through concrete searching for the light of day, truth cannot be covered forever by a lie. Saul encountered what Christians today refuse to live by; love is the basis of grace. Unless we love one another as he has loved us, one misses the change that elevated Saul from a murdering bounty hunter to St. Paul.
A warning: The Mongol hoards captured a major part of the Muslim World, however, Islam conquered the Mongol hoards. The power of truth is God's sword in the war for the hearts and souls of Islam. John 2001
Disgruntled says: For the record, John Lewis, Marty King, Hugh Price, Colin Powell, Kweisi Mfume and Condoleeza Rice did not attend WCAR or speak out forcefully for reparations. Their silence on WCAR is typical of those high profile blacks that claim to speak to the best interests of black people. But, when the chips are down, they are always missing in action.
Disgruntled wants to know:
A few weeks before 9-11, staunch conservatives among the Bush crowd were talking about the need for the United States to embrace imperialism. The world's only superpower, they believe the US should act as leader of the free world. Now, we are bombing Afghanistan, and Bush has said the US will continue the war until a new government runs the country. Is there a difference between this and the imperialism of nation building?Disgruntled feels:
Enlightened! Secretary of State Colin Powell's name is pronounced like the body part - colon. To earn his stars and stripes, an anal retentive Colon ran Co-InTel-Pro assassination missions against black power advocates, which is why Bush hired him. You have to be a real arse to be part of Bush's bowels.HIV/AIDS Revisited
A number of readers weighed in on the subject of HIV/AIDS and its death toll in Africa. This week, we share information provided by Keidi Obi Awadu (keidi@7mac.com). On his website at http://www.7mac.com, you can find documentation for his conclusions on the HIV/AIDS epidemic/hoax.
While Awadu declares Dr. Boyd Graves' work is "hopelessly out of date," their conclusions do intersect. Connect the dots and it makes sense that the US scientist Graves thought patented a virus actually patented a chemical process. Below is an excerpt from Awadu's response to the question: Do you believe he (Dr. Graves) correctly implicated the USA in the development of the virus?
"What I have said since 1993 is that the evidence for "the virus" never existed. There were no valid isolation studies for a retrovirus called human immunodeficiency virus. There is no valid test to determine the presence of HIV within those diagnosed. These immunobinding sero assay tests do not test for any virus but are said to be indicative of protein bands that specify antibody immunoglobulin. A vast array of the research confirms these are "unreliable."
Even if HIV could be proven to exist and be present within the body of one so-diagnosed, it is a retrovirus and retroviruses have never been proven to cause disease in humans. "Humans are full of retroviruses" by the thousands or maybe even millions "and they have never before caused disease in humans," so said Nobel Prize winning scientist Kary Mullis.
Those research programs conducted at USAMRIID were looking for substances that would mimic biological processes. They eventually selected various chemicals and toxins (chemically created organisms) that would cause the same symptoms which would be attributed to viruses and bacteria. Ebola is one of these classes of mycotoxins, actually caused by the T-2 tricothocene mycotoxin (from the fusarium bacterium), an old disease known as "ergot."
There is no proof that HIV is transmitted through sexual contact. HIV infection has never been demonstrated to be a widespread heterosexual disease within the US, Canada and Europe, while in Africa it is strictly promoted as heterosexual disease.
If you would look closely at the references that I and so many others have provided, you would conclude that this thing called HIV and AIDS is a hoax and that the best motivation for it is population control, medical-pharmaceutical omnipotence and corporate greed."
Urban Legends or Facts
Israel: A Better Fit?
Intelligence sources link the Israeli Mossad with the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Internal US intelligence pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on US soil to turn mass public opinion against Palestinian Arabs using terrorist attacks on US interests, which would give Israel the green light to implement large scale military attacks against Palestinians.
Experts say the 9-11 attack was too sophisticated for a lone terrorist group. "This attack required a high level of military precision and the resources of an advanced intelligence agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed to be extremely familiar with both air force flight operations, civil airline flight paths and aerial assault tactics on sensitive US cities," stated David Stern, an expert on Israeli intelligence operations.
"The attacks have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back in Israel's favor after 11 months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel over war crimes allegations and racism by a UN conference in Durban. The attacks serve no Arab group or nation's interests but their timing came in the midst of international condemnation of Israel for its policy of death squad assassination of Palestinian political and police figures," added Stern.
If verified, the news of Israel's involvement in the US attacks will not surprise intelligence experts. Israel has a long history of covert operations. Is Israel a better fit? You decide!

Attack on Pearl Harbor
December 7, 1941, Japanese airplanes attacked the United States' naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Japanese fighters destroyed or severely damaged 8 battleships, 3 light cruisers, 4 miscellaneous vessels, 188 airplanes, and knocked out important shore installations. There were 3,435 casualties. The Japanese force withdrew after losing 29 airplanes, 5 midget submarines and fewer than 100 men.
Wartime Propaganda
Advertisers presented postwar visions of America in which every man had a new car and every woman a gleaming kitchen filled with wonder-working gadgets. President Franklin D. Roosevelt promised, "In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential freedoms," i.e., freedom of speech and worship, and freedom from want and fear.
Almost immediately after Pearl Harbor, the Office of Censorship was established. It was suspected that information was withheld not because it was vital to the enemy, but because it would damage public opinion of the armed forces. Following Office of Censorship rules, newspapermen withheld information that could be of value to the enemy.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945)
August 6, 1945, a B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. It destroyed most of what had not already been damaged during the war. According to American estimates, 80,000 Japanese were killed. Japanese estimates place the death toll from the attack in the 200,000 range.
August 9, 1945, the air force dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, killing countless millions. At the end of WWII, more than 14 million men under arms had been killed and countless millions of civilians had died. Despite the enormous expenditures in resources and lives, the world faced an uncertain and perilous future clouded by the specter of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.

Connecting Dots
Connecting the dots in what the Russians call "The Great Game," Nina Burleigh, a reporter for TIME in an article titled "Missing the oil story," explains why Afghanistan and the other 'stans' of Central Asia are so important in the new world order.
Starting with father Bush, Burleigh ties the former president and ex-CIA director to Washington's Carlyle Group, a $12 billion private equity firm. Specializing in Asia, Bush senior is often in and out of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait on behalf of the conglomerate whose holdings includes defense, telecommunications, food and bottling companies. With George senior on the payroll of private interests with defense business before the government, George W. could benefit financially from his administration's decisions.
Afghanistan is in the middle of a region abundant in oil. By 2050, Central Asia will account for more than 80 percent of our oil. Oil and Gas Journal reported that it is one of the world's last frontiers for geological survey and analysis, "offering investment opportunities in the discovery, production, transportation, and refining of enormous quantities of oil and gas resources."
If America is to realize the conservation-free, fossil-fueled future outlined by VP Dick Cheney, unimpeded access in the 'stans' is necessary for geologists, construction workers and pipelines. Pipeline projects to carry the resources west are already under way or have been proposed. They would go through Russia, through the Caucasus or via Turkey and Iran. Each route will be within easy reach of the Taliban's thugs and could be made much safer by an American vanquishment of Muslim terrorism.
There's oil beneath the turf of our newest pals, Pakistan. "Massive untapped gas reserves are believed to be lying beneath Pakistan's remotest deserts, but they are being held hostage by armed tribal groups demanding a better deal from the central government," reported Agence France Presse just days before 9-11.
"So many business deals, so much oil, all those big players with powerful connections to the Bush administration. It doesn't add up to a conspiracy theory. But it does mean there is a significant MONEY subtext that the American public ought to know about as "Operation Enduring Freedom" blasts new holes where pipelines might someday be buried."
Ham and Cheese: Linear Secularism
by Yohannes Sharriff Smith
Watch the muppets cast an illusion before you eyes.
As comatose couch cushions pin senses to Soaps,
sensors wash commonsense with seductive corruption,
spawning controlled consumer surrender.
We stab our open wounds with currency.
Secretly, pimps pray prostituting will sates the need.
Like infants, the masses suckle the phallic superficial.
Impaled upon the crucifix of debt,
we sacrifice live dreams for dead presidents.
As they strive, even children shutter with unearthly pleasure,
pushing pass pennies from parents put into collection plates,
panting for the devil's almighty dollar power.
Crucified!
Why? For lifeless wooden promises?
The spirit of will dies, while industrialized primates
feen for better visual highs.
Assimilated lobes open wide,
like parted thighs with sighs and penetrating cries,
creaming for the evening news, pushing lies deeper.
Journalism is delivering billions of subliminal violent multiple-orgasmic editorials.
Pornographic bent reality drips from thin pink lips,
advertised with no life found in empty eyes.
Realize the top story is woven from the fabric of politics and Nielsen's opinion,
to paint a pessimistic picture,
reflecting society's apathy.
But, please read between the lines to see the true signs of how hopeless
the media wants you to be,
so commercials can program your mentality.

International Day of Action
On Saturday, October 27, 2001, Atlanta Poets for Peace will join millions of others around the world in an international day of action against war and racism. Poets and peacemakers can respond to the call at http://www.internationalanswer.org
International A.N.S.W.E.R. called the day of action to build on the momentum from the September 29 National Marches on Washington, D.C., San Francisco and the hundreds of emergency response protests that took place around the country. Rallies, marches, teach-ins and other actions will take place in cities around the U.S. and internationally. A "March from Truth" is planned for New York City, beginning at the New York Times building to be followed by a teach-in. A rally is planned at the White House in Washington, D.C. Poets for Peace will join these and other efforts around the world, using their art to end war and racism.
On Dubya's Dubious War
by Dot
In the wake of the 9-11 disaster, emotions ran high in America. A large number craved vengeance on those responsible. A letter to the editor (Atlanta Journal Constitution 9/29/01) sums up their sentiment. From Larry McKinney, it read, "I totally understand that the terrain is an advantage for the Afghanistan fighters. The mountains caused the Soviets to be defeated in the 1979 war. I have a solution. Eliminate the mountains. Carpet-bomb Afghanistan with atomic warheads. War is war. War is destruction of property and people."
On a Sunday, the U.S. bombed Afghanistan; Dubya dubbed his dubious war on terrorism a 'crusade.' In a moment of political incorrectness, he named it "Operation Infinite Justice." His handlers made him retract that misnomer, but he kept saying fighting words like 'evildoers' and 'wanted dead or alive.'
Dubya’s handlers opposed everything of international consequence from the Kyoto protocols to the conference against racism. Reparation advocates, mainly Third World nations, are now principal targets for assassinations. Rather than engage in dialogue to end intolerance and racism, under Dubya’ war against the dubious foe - terrorism, we are less tolerant.
