Text of the page (random words):
o deter a possible threat there is a patriotic rhetoric in which the blood of our flag being prior and necessary to peaceful voting rights seem like the sacred religious blood of a martyr s sacrifice we speak of a war to end all wars and making the world a safe place for democracy on the other hand there are those countries and groups which see america s violent aggression as the dark side of the force if we may speak in starwars terms it might shock you the reader to realize that my status sentence was part of an argument i made in favor of a pre emptive strike of genocidal proportions i wrote about such long before 9 11 and long before tom tancredo spoke of nuking mecca now that i see tom tancredo advocating voter literacy exams which were so oppressive in the south to exclude blacks from election i have less admiration for tom tancredo and have second thoughts about laying aside ethics and values and using techniques to neutralize geographic areas and engage in cultural restructuring which would surely be the euphemisms we might employ to make such strategies sound more respectable i have also come to realize that even if we were to homogenize the worlds population tomorrow there is no guarantee that in 100 years other ideological divisions might arise which would put us back in this same terrorist guerrilla predicament tags democracy gingrich voting war zinn posted in education facebook history journalism leave a comment hemingway and war february 8 2010 i was born in 49 when i was 15 i read almost everything that hemingway ever wrote including for whom the bell tolls and also a movable feast about his years in paris my earliest memories were at age 4 or 5 waking long before my parents and turning on the television we were the first on the block to have one but i had no idea that television was a novelty each morning i watched victory at sea narrated by people like ed hurley i watched films of infantry in europe i assumed that when i grew up that i too would fight in the army like my father and kill the wicked enemy no adults were aware of what i was thinking i remember being around election booths during eisenhower s election i was curious to peek under the curtains i thought war and killing was manly i though drinking and smoking pipes and growing a beard was manly i realized that hemingway chased after wars including the spanish civil war my father saw hemingway every day for two weeks in the 12 infantry 4th division hemingway always had a canteen on his belt filled with gin or whiskey in the early 1990s i got to speak for an hour with one of hemingway s two jeep drivers during those weeks he said he had never seen a braver man under fire than hemingway and could not understand why he committed suicide around 1960 i suggested that sometimes a suicidal wish to constantly place oneself in danger to validate oneself or die can give the illusion of courage i also read the red badge of courage by stephen crane in 7th grade crane wrote it in 10 days flat and had never seen any form of battle much less a civil war battle i realize you are asking about the spanish civil war in the 1930s without google this is all i can say and i remember the name franco now i shall google i admire hemingway and do not mean to disparage him by suggesting that he manifested the illusion of courage so i ask myself what example i might find of courage which is free from the goals of self validation and i think of audie murphy who did not choose to be where he was yet did something totally courageous partly because he had to and partly because he could and partly because of luck chance and circumstance that he survived and then he went on to live a humble modest life in pursuit of very different things than the danger of armed conflict http en wikipedia org wiki audie_murphy one man is not better or worse than another both kinds of men are necessary in the world each in their own way did what they had to do tags hemingway war posted in journalism literature television leave a comment the unpleasant truth january 1 2010 the unpleasant truth is that ethical societies will never vanquish monstrous strategies except through etymology coining and then deploying the neologisms geographic neutralization and ethnic restructuring the definitions you tell me this is a pop quiz essays are for extra credit but there is a time limit windows of opportunity when our window closes their window opens and they will defenestrate in a heart beat hippocrates said that drastic illnesses call for drastic remedies what do you call the dresden fire bombing what do you call hiroshima and nagasaki what do you call the sand creek massacre so war is not murder wait watch see what happens perhaps i am wrong ah but a just war is not murder mccain was our hero blanket bombing hanoi to make the world a safe place for democracy hanoi is still communist the last time i looked bush and cheney are war criminals but there will be no hague trials the absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously henry kissinger let me ask this question does a nation pioneer the development of weapons of mass destruction while the thought of using them never enters their minds right now we are launching missile strikes in at suspected targets in yemen but we have not declared war china sends a shipload of weapons destined for zimbabwe for mugabe to wipe out his opposition but no coastal port allows them to dock but what does the world at large do about it nothing each and every nuclear sub silently circling the oceans contains more destructive fire power than all 5 years of wwii both sides combined it is not inconceivable that genetically engineered bio weapons will be designed specific to peoples with certain ancestry because of something called genetic markers these are all ideas for a sci fi screen play surely you don t think i am serious or correct about any of this lighten up no one is ready to do anything about such things until and unless they are ready to do everything about it the very fact that tom tancredo said what he did is just one of many proofs that i am not saying anything which has never been said before http en wikipedia org wiki tom_tancredo tancredo traces his interest in politics to the eighth grade when he played fidel castro in a class assignment he urges america to reject the siren song of multiculturalism and depicts islam as a civilization bent on destroying ours in september 2006 when pope benedict xvi gave a speech quoting a 14th century byzantine emperor who said the prophet mohammed had brought things only evil and inhuman 2 sparking muslim anger throughout the world tancredo urged him not to apologize in july when tancredo proposed that america respond to any future terrorist attack by bombing mecca and other holy sites john podhoretz writing on the national review s website said tom tancredo is an idiot but as we well know idiots are

to have a third world war but simply that like the prophet daniel there is certain handwriting on the wall in daniel s case mene mene tekel upharsin and if you ask me what i think it means then i interpret it in a certain way in daniel s case it was you have been weighed and found wanting now if i had a weekly television series say boston legal then i could weave all these observations into the plot the way they do actually i did do that a while back and called it waging p e a c e i wonder what truman or eisenhower would have said if you had predicted to them that within a few decades america would be fighting undeclared wars torturing prisoners holding captives indefinitely without due process i wonder what they would have said if anything after they finished telling you that you were out of your mind but each of you can be your own prophet and interpret the handwriting on the wall any way you see fit or you may close your eyes and say there is no wall there is no writing this is the beauty of the reformation yes i agree we only think in the terms to which we have been conditioned muslims think in terms of haram forbidden and halal permitted there are groups or types who sexualize everything scientists think in terms of experiment mathematicians think axiomatically artists think aesthetically an entrepreneur or an accountant thinks in terms of profit loss and net worth atheists think in terms of discrediting notions of god and religion the devout seek not only proofs of god but also arguments that their own creed is the only truth when a pickpocket meets a saint all he sees are pockets when you stop and think about it the bible starts and ends with ethnocide the first extermination is described in the account of noah s ark the bible ends with an extermination in the book of revelation there is also the suggestion that various peoples such as the malachites be exterminated together with all their beasts somewhere in the psalms there is one verse that says something blessed is he who dashes their infants heads against a rock i have been thinking today about how often the entire world or large parts of it have become polarized i suspect the first large scale polarization was our homo sapient ancestors against the neanderthal they co existed for a period of 50 000 years the last signs of neanderthal are to be found at the rock of gibralter i would not be surprised if our ancestors killed the neanderthal on sight the internet is chocked full of the sort of things i hint at stated far more explicitly than my understated style http hammerofevil blogspot com 2007 01 25 how do you choose enemies to attack html those of us who lived through the cold war era of the 1950s well remember how we demonized the communists who in turn demonized us as capitalists before that the world was polarized into the nazis and axis powers vs the allies with each decade and each century the terminology changes but the polarization remains the same we need not state what the polarity is today for we know that all too well thesis antithesis synthesis aufgehoben uniting opposites and then starting the process all over again in endless cycles i should post the link to my senior paper on hegel if i were asking the opening question of for a seminar on the iliad perhaps i would ask what would achilles attitude be towards ethnocide in fact i wonder what the earliest historical example is of a writer describing ethnocide in modern terms and conceding that it may be morally repugnant what china did to tibet is considered a form of ethnocide not because they slew all tibetans but because china systematically with malice of forethought destroyed the fabric of tibetan culture and tradition conservative islamic societies who wage a soft war against western internet influence view the demonic west as attempting ethnocide in the sense that our secular material culture threatens to destroy the islamic moral fabric of their youth you might say that islam sees the west as guilty of socrates crime corrupting the youth and they are wondering how large a chalice of hemlock to prepare if lets be imaginative say stalin has a tardis time travel machine ok he steals it from dr who and stalin travels back in time with weapons of mass destruction and gives achilles the button what does achilles do if achilles pushes that button then bing bang boom troy is gone is the poetry gone is the plot gone or does the poetry and drama morph into something that culture has yet to imagine achilles starts asking stalin some questions stalin explains the usual dictator stuff you know one death is a tragedy ten million deaths is a statistic there is one little sentence in american history that no one really seems to think deeply about live free or die http en wikipedia org wiki live_free_or_die the question is when does the or die kick in and how does it play out the way i see it achilles knew how and when to die but america has forgotten how to kill in the way that achilles killed and with all due respect america may have forgotten the how and why of when to die now purely by coincidence i just finished watching a netflix dvd the taking of pelham 123 with john travolta we could have an interesting discussion if we carefully analyze that movie from the perspective of achilles stalin and dr who but then we would have to talk about who is the most free when are we the most free and what makes us so free tags achilles dr who peace stalin travolta war posted in essay ethics movies philosophy polychem religion 1 comment
