  • Total extirmination of the Indians

    In early 1891, at the age of 34 and less then 10 years before writing the first of the Oz books. Frank Baum called for in an editorial in the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer, ''total extirmination [sic] of the Indians. Having wronged them for centuries we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe ...

  • We Are In Many Countries Around The World For One Reason....

    We Are In Many Countries Around The World For One Reason CONTROL! Whenever the US government decides to get involved with another country, whether under the guise of some humanitarian or to “protect our freedoms”, it is always for one reason and one reason only; to rape the land or it’s natural ...

  • Turkey

    Good points by both the French (and it pains a Brit to say that) and your columnist. Why not a neutral, international investigation to solve the riddle of thhe Armenian genocides once and for all. Whatever the Turks think.

  • Quit Torturing Me About Torture

    In recent days we have seen such a proliferation of news about torture, the torture memos and so forth, that I need not recount it here. To me, here are the salient points, in my humble opinion. 1) Abu Ghraib: Has been over-hyped. The acts were atrocious, but hardly the worst thing to happen to anybody, unless one considers humiliation worse ...

  • re: Armenian Genocide

    Would it make the Turkish leadership and citizenry feel better if we would formally face up to our own ethnic cleansing event with the native population of North America, that may have once been as large as 100 million? It could be softened by noting that the largest number died invisibly (before Westerners were around to watch) of diseases that ...

  • Help me on this one, Hitch!!

    I need to understand why I should care about the Turkish or US recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Everyone involved is dead and gone at this point. What purpose does it serve? Will it prevent future atrocities? I think we all know the answer to that. I don't know that this matters, but both my grandparents on my father's side were ...

  • Genocide in general - Jews, Cambodians, Bosnians, Rawanda...

    The biggest problem with the anti-Semitic and arm-chair, lefty posts, is their inability to separate the genocide of the Holocaust with Israel. Forget about, to quote Abba Eban, 'Shoah business,' for a second. While approximately 10 million were murdered during WWII, close to 8 million of those (Jews, Rom, Gay and Lesbian, as well as members of ...

  • Remembering the Holocaust Everyday

    Its a good thing we can continue to examine artifacts from the Holocaust and to know the stories of the survivors. It will help all of humanity to avert and obstruct future crimes against unarmed and underarmed civilian populations whose only crimes are they are different from an oppressor. Clearly, the American people and the Jewish people ...

  • Israel Strikes Back?

    That line, ''Israel Strikes Back,'' reveals a kind of sickness born of ignorance and imperial hubris. Closer to the truth would be something like ''Israel Accelerates its Genocide.'' I wish only that the names were changed, that during the last half century all things Palestinian were named ''Country A'' and Israel ''Country B,'' then the ...

  • Re: The article is dishonest and is a LIE!

    marsviii: sonofeire: For the record, Raila Odinga called for non-violent protests against the Kibaki government and the the vast majority of atrocities, committed without Odinga's approval were committed by nominal Christians. What you wrote is a bald-faced lie by everyones account. What the recordrepresents is like a Mafia Don handing a ...
