The Banned MLK Speech on Vietnam

 The MLK Speech you may have never heard. 

He denounces the US for its role in Vietnam and calls for international action against US hegemony. 

 This speech, along with the "poor people's march" on DC directly led to his murder 

at the hands of the FBI, CIA and State Dept.

The US made its bed, It's time to lie down in it

Dear Amerikkka,

You Made This Bed, Now Lie Down in It

If anyone would like to know why I am actually in favor of so called "illegal immigration" (or "undocumented" worker migration), it’s because I can’t stand the people who are against it. Yes, you read that correctly. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have very simple life philosophies, such as pacifism, symbiosis, existentialism, etc. However, simple does not mean weak or dumb, it just means not complex in any way. It has lead me to knowledge of self and the opening of my spiritual eyes to divine human existence. It allows me to find amusement in veiled racism and bigotry such as that exemplified by the legislation being proposed (and passed) by elitist, anti-immigrant, closeted Klan members.

“Ah, gee whiz", you say, "they are taking jobs from Americans”. That’s funny; I don’t know anyone who would do the type of work an immigrant can get. “well...they are driving up the cost of healthcare.” Oh Really? Then why are pharmaceutical companies thriving in the midst of recession? Their presence makes an even stronger argument for Universal Healthcare. These people are making YOUR food, cutting YOUR lawns, doing YOUR laundry and you have the temerity to deny them basic human rights? Just where would that authority come from? If Canadians or Europeans were coming in “illegally” not one of you racist hypocrites would say a damn thing. Fortunately, Canadians have better sense and Europeans would not want to take a step down intellectually or culturally to come and live here. Chip-on-your-shoulder or not, that is how the world views the US. And they are exactly right.

But all that is irrelevant, because the reason for illegal immigration is also very simple. The corporations that control the US government (yes, you read that correctly also) through policies such as NAFTA and though covert military operations in South and Central America have forced abject poverty upon a society that was already crippled by two decades of ethnic cleansing via Reaganomics. NAFTA forced Mexican farmers into bankruptcy and starvation with no other choice than to cross the border in search of salve-wage labor jobs. Military invasions (in the form of a coup) of Central American countries as well as Venezuela (which failed miserably) have created a system of refugees pouring into the US because they remain loyal to the fascist US-sponsored puppet regimes. Let us also not forget 20 years of CIA drug trafficking, Iran-Contra and neocon/neolib trade legislation that send all of the untrained and poorly-educated American’s jobs to China. 

United States Americans always want the problem solved without ever trying to come up with a solution. That should not come as a shock to anyone. It’s been this way from the beginning. The import of nearly 100 million slaves, the holocaust of the Native Americans, The Mexican war (because the US/UK wanted California and also Texas for some reason), the Spanish-American war, Wood-peck Wilson secretly sending troops to Russia in 1918 to spark the "cold war" (which was neither cold nor a war) and so on and so forth leading up to the invasion of Afghanistan to reclaim the poppy-fields for the heroin trade, build a natural gas pipeline from the Caspian sea and the disastrous invasion of Iraq for oil and strategic military positioning.

When do we pick up the check for all the blood that has been spilled? When does the rest of the world stop paying the tab? You're are living in a fantasy world. Americans believe they are masters of the universe when in fact they are nothing more than domesticated pets of the London exchange. Your leash is the monetary system and your master is a combination of fundamentalist religion and tv news. You sit-up, lie-down, roll-over and bark on command, with absolutely no desire to change anything. 

I hope this essay was offensive. That was the intent. Especially if you have taken part in making this bed. It’s time that you lie down in it.

Israel cuts water supplies to West Bank during Ramadan - Geopolitical Cirriculum AU 2016

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are left without access to safe drinking water during the Islamic holy month.

Israel's national water company has cut crucial water supplies to large areas of the occupied West Bank, leaving tens of thousands of Palestinians without access to safe drinking water during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Mekorot, the main supplier of water to Palestinian towns and cities, siphoned off water supplies to the municipality of Jenin, several Nablus villages and the city of Salfit and its surrounding villages.
Ayman Rabi, the executive director of the Palestinian Hydrology Group, told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that in some areas people had not received water for more than 40 days.
"People are relying on purchasing water from water trucks or finding it from alternative sources such as springs and other filling points in their vicinity," he said.
"Families are having to live on two, three or 10 liters per capita per day," he said, adding that in some areas they had started rationing water.
The city of Jenin, which has a population of more than 40,000 people, said its water supplies had been cut by half, and warned that it would hold Mekorot solely responsible for any tragedies resulting from water shortages during the hot summer months.
Mekorot did not respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment.
According to the UN, 7.5 litres per person per day is the minimum requirement for most people under most conditions but in some areas of Palestine - where temperatures exceed 35C - the minimum requirement is much higher.
Since 1967, Israel has limited the water available to Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since its forces occupied the territories.
Israelis, including settlers, consume five times more water than Palestinians in the West Bank, 350 litres per person per day in Israel, compared with 60 litres per Palestinian per day.
