"A significant fact which stands out is that those parts of India which have been longest under British rule are the poorest today. Indeed some kind of chart might be drawn up to indicate the close connection between length of British rule and progressive growth of poverty."

Man will travel to other worlds to find lifeless deserts there, and still, God forgive him, he will think that he knows better than God himself. There, except the eternal peace of God, he will see nothing, but he will sense with his heart and soul all of God's beauty and power. People will drive in rigs upon the moon and stars. They will look for life, but life similar to ours they will not find. It will be there, but they will not be able to understand it and see that it is life.

-  From the prophecy of Mitar Tarabic

"The slave master attempted to confuse the Afrikans and create the atmosphere for disunity by separating people from their tribal identity and putting them within someone else's tribal atmosphere. You and I must see this attempt at creating a permanent level of confusion as an unintending vehicle of unity.  The Haitians produced a system, during the time of slavery, which combined the most dominant aspects of Afrikan culture from various ethnicities.  But why and how did they do this? The why lies within four realities. Reality number one is that they all realized that they had a common enemy. Number two was that they knew they had to unify against that common enemy. Number three is that they were smart enough to see the cultural unity that runs through all West Afrikan culture. And four was the big one. They realized that freedom was gained through nationalism and that nationalism either produced or was an outgrowth of a people's religious ideology. So they combined the culture without leaving out the religion. The same was done in varying degrees in Cuba and Brazil."

" But to the wicked, the envious and the covetous I come not, for such cannot understand the mysteries of the Mind, therefore, i am unwelcome. I leave them to the avenging demon that they are making in their own souls, for evil each day increases itself and torments man more sharply, and each evil deed adds to the evil deeds that are gone before until finally evil destroys itself.  The punishment of desire is the agony of unfulfillment."

ROBERT MUGABE:  Well, this is it.  We obeyed the law because the constitution had a clause, a requirement that-- a [unintelligible] requirement that even though the constitution as a whole could be amended by two-thirds majority, that clause could not be so amended until a period of 10 years had passed. And so we waited for 10 years to pass.  And as the 10 years elapsed, we amended that provision so government could acquire land on the basis of national interests. Then there was also the fact that we were not to acquire land without full compensation.  And we had to give money to compensate the farmers.  But it was not this that we have been very, very now disappointed -- and disappointed because at Lancaster House there was an undertaking by both Britain and outside the conference by the United States that they would find the money.  And so we didn't bother about removing the clause.  As long as money was available, we would get it and then use it for purposes of compensating the farmers. But after about five or so years, Britain said it did not have the money.  And in the United States, the regimes changed.  Carter went out and Reagan came in.  And Reagan said no, he was not going to give us money for that purpose. In Britain, well, they said they had given us enough. But we tried to negotiate, and negotiate with the conservative government.  This time it was that of Major -- Major was the prime minister in 1996.  And we had put together an arrangement which would have been acceptable to both sides and they were willing to fund the resettlement process and make funds available. To what extent?  Well, we say I suppose in time they would increase the amounts, but the principle of forwarding us the funds was accepted.  But before the funds were put together, the Labour government defeated Major.  Mr. Blair's government said no, they were not prepared to take on colonial responsibilities But we said, fine, if you're not prepared to do it, there now stands at Lancaster House that we would not tax our poor peasants in order for them to buy back their land would come back.  And that's why we are behaving the way we are doing -- being very firm with Britain.  We will not compensate the farmers unless Britain makes the funds available.

GIL NOBLE:  The Europeans did not give any compensation to the Africans from whom they took the land.

ROBERT MUGABE:  That is one reason we are making this very firm stand.

              In the immortal words of Emo Philips:

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!"

"Why shouldn't I?" he said.

I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"

He said, "Like what?"

I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"

He said, "Religious."

I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"

He said, "Christian."

I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

He said, "Protestant."

I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

He said, "Baptist!"

I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"

He said, "Baptist Church of God!"

I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"

He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!"

I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"

He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"

I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

Buffalos Back Fat
by George Catlin
   
I love a people that have always made me welcome to the very best that they had.

I love a people who are honest without laws, who have no jails and no poorhouses.

I love a people who keep the commandments without ever having read or heard them preached from the pulpit.

I love a people who never swear or take the name of God in vain.

 
 
I love a people "who love their neighbors as they love themselves."

I love a people who worship God without a Bible, for I believe that God loves them also.
 
 

Niagra
by George Catlin   
 
 
I love a people whose religion is all the same, and who are free from religious animosities.

I love a people who have never raised a hand against me, or stolen my property, when there was no law to punish either.

I love and don't fear mankind where God has made and left them, for they are his children.
 
 

BUFFALO HUNT ON SNOW SHOES
by George Catlin 
 I love the people who have never fought a battle with the white man, except on their own ground.

I love a people who live and keep what is their own without lock and keys.
 
I love a people who do the best they can. And oh how I love a people who don't live for the love of money.

The Lotus Sutra says;  "Although the teaching of the Buddah is one, because the natures and inclinations of sentinent beings differ, the avenues to truth they understand are also different.  It is like one and the same rain falling from the sky being absorbed differently by the plants and trees according to the size of their roots and stems, branches and leaves"

present day statesman are making the biggest blunder of the age if they believe there can be any peace

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!

We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.

I want you to get mad!

I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.

All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.

You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

"I'm as mad as hell,

and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"

Saving endangered species, saving the planet from global warming, finding a cure for Aids, saving the starving children . . . All that can wait a bit, but ‘Save the banks!’ is an unconditional imperative which demands and gets immediate action. The panic was absolute.

Slavoj Žižek: Use Your Illusions




The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, "God let me see you" and a star shined brightly. But the man did not notice. And the man shouted, "God show me a miracle" and a life was born. But the man did not know. So the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are there" Whereupon God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

    one view on Narcissism

THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM IS ORGANIZED NARCISSISM

http://www.lclark.edu/~clayton/ c...narcissism.html

Monday, August 13, 2001

We live in a society organized around private property, the right of private individuals and corporations to own the resources we all need in order to live. These resources, belonging to a small proportion of the top one percent of the population, include the natural products of the planet, what grows in the soil, the oceans and the forests, as well as all the products of human culture and history -- the techniques and knowledge and art we have created over the centuries. Even the techniques of nature encoded in the genes of plants and animals and the human body are now being swept up into the vaults of private corporations to be exploited to their financial benefit.

A society of private property is a society of deprivation. What is owned by a few is denied to the many. Obviously private property has to be defended by laws and their enforcement, that is, a state as the sole legitimate agent of violence. "No trespassing" signs are meaningless without an armed guard.

In my commentary a couple of weeks ago, I suggested that state-protected capitalism is a system of organized crime: it organizes the predatory activity of individuals against each other to make life safe for the winners. Today I'd like to expand on that theme by arguing that capitalism is the legitimation of psychopathic behavior.

First, here is some fairly typical corporate behavior. Responding to the Bill Moyers PBS special on the chemical industry, Richard Grossman points out that information has been available for many decades about "the mass production, use and dumping of toxic chemicals, and about persistent manipulations, murders, deceptions and usurpations by chemical corporation and government officials, " Anyone who chooses to look will find massive evidence of chemical corporation murder, pillage and lies. Anyone who chooses to look will see persistent corporate denial of people’s constitutional and human rights, and government complicity…"

Now here is a description of the psychopath by forensic psychologist Barbara Kerwin:

Most psychopaths could pass as normal people. They hold down jobs, they have relationships, though often superficial ones, and they manage to manage, however selfishly. But…more than most people, they are selfish, highly absorbed with securing the primitive comforts of life. They cannot delay their gratification, or set aside their resentments. … They are usually charming, eager to please, and quite often very smart. However, though they may function in the world effectively, they do not conduct their lives according to accepted moral codes and standards of behavior. They do not consider their crimes crimes. What seems a crime to us is to them an expedience, an act of entitlement. As intelligent as they may be, psychopaths lack …an awareness that they are participating in the overall drama of the human species. Accused of a crime, they believe that the world that owes them a living has done them wrong.
According to Kerwin, psychopathy is "not a mental disease or defect but a global attitude of selfishness that governs a person's interactions with others." More than just selfish, psychopaths are narcissistic. Narcissism makes people

dangerous…because it deprives them of the restraint that results from empathy and respect for others.…Narcissism permits them to ignore the humanity of their victims.… It …renders them insensitive to the act of killing. The blindness of the narcissist can extend even beyond the lack of empathy; narcissists may not "see" others at all.
The notorious Ted Bundy was a psychopath, according to Kerwin, who interviewed him at length. Bundy raped and mutilated at least thirty women, felt no remorse, regretted only that he'd been caught, and bragged that "he owned a girl like he owned a Porsche."

If Ted Bundy's narcissism unleashed his sado-masochistic impulses, corporate narcissism gives free rein to the materialistic impulses of the chemical industry. There are plenty of other examples. There are many products corporation have known to cause suffering and death: guns, cigarettes, the Dalkon Shield, defective cars and trucks. Recall also corporate reluctance to make live-saving drugs available at affordable prices to people suffering from AIDS and malaria in third-world countries. But these are only the more conscience-popping examples. At the very heart of capitalism is the structural imperative to maximize income and minimize costs, and in this process of being driven by the requirements of the account books, workers and consumers are reduced to mere instruments. The manager of capital cannot see people as persons at all. He or she may feel empathy for friends and family or for the characters in movies, but genuinely felt empathy for customers and employees is counter-productive. We must conclude, then, that capitalism is institutionalized narcissism. It is organized psychopathy.

From a moral point of view, a criminal is someone who is willing to seize whatever he can with no concern for the effect of that seizure on the lives of others. Crime is a short-cut to the object of one's desires; it's the road to what one wants that disregards the reality of other people, which ignores their experiences, their situations.

Psychologically, crime involves the inability to respect and empathize with others -- in fact, a blindness to the reality of others as real people like oneself. The narcissist is a solipsist for whom only her own experiences are real and other human beings are, as it were, robots. The game of capitalism rewards its players for taking this attitude towards each other.

To the extent that we play this game and allow our social relations with others to be stripped down to the cash nexus and the quid pro quo, we live as narcissists among narcissists. It's a cold world, this world of organized crime, the world of the film noir in which only the love interest provides a momentary respite from the Hobbsean state of war.

Most people are not narcissists; they do understand and respond to the experiences and situations of other people, even people who are far away. The ties between us are deeper than the cash nexus a`nd the rule of law. We are bound by ties of affection. Ties of affection based on empathy for the situations of other people are exactly what cannot be felt by the psychopathic narcissist. The enthusiastic capitalist in pursuit of the profit margin may love and empathize with members of his family and circle of friends, but to have these feelings towards those with whom he exchanges money and commodities is ruled out by the structure of his work. If such feelings arise, they must be squelched.

A fully civilized society, free of the incubus of private property, will be one in which ties of affection will extend freely to everyone we meet and to all those whose experiences we come to know about. Only then will we be cured of the social pathology of universal narcissism.

Europeans measure 'progress & civilisation' in terms of how far a people distance themselves from NaTuRe. NaTuRe is a force, an enemy to be conquered, subdued and vanquished. People still living in harmony with NaTuRe are considered 'savages'.

Can't really say that Robert Mugabe is the right individual to be quoting. Irregardless of his role in achieving liberation for Zimbabwe.
Robert Mugabe has certainly taken on and adopted the ways of the oppressor! look what he has done to the country and the people!
The land issue is one thing, but to take fertile land which had the capacity to feed all Zimbabweans and turn it into a barren dust bowl and in the process submit people to the economic hardships which has seen the onset of cholera, not to mention turning their currency into the number one mickey mouse money in the universe.

Is just dread!

"The image of a lone man standing in front of a row of tanks remains an enduring image of the incident.

So is the image of the tank driver who with compassion and humanity refused to run him over.

Now imagine if you're an Iraqi and standing in front of an American tank, what do you expect to happen?"

 Before the Mugabe Government started uprooting the white farmers in 2000, this Government kept inflation at 5 percent, 8 percent (or 11 percent in difficult years.) How, then, does a country with all the same factors and leaders from 1980 to 2000 suddenly (because the white commercial farmers have been uprooted) see inflation soar to world record levels in a space of just six years starting in 2000? And how is it that a stable Zimbabwe has an inflation rate 1 500 times higher than Somalia, a country without a government since 1991?

--Timothy Kalyegira


 The second option, and I speak very candidly, is to work through all appropriate channels for a change in power in Zimbabwe, recognizing that perhaps it is destined to become Africa's Romania and that Mugabe is destined to become Africa's Ceausescu. It was, though, even in Romania, the people of Romania who made the change ultimately, not Americans.

So if we were to decide to try and work for change in power in Zimbabwe, I would hope that we would have the wisdom to be discrete, to be low-key and to avoid giving those in power there the excuse that foreigners are out to get them.

— Chester Crocker
106th Congress House
Hearings - Zimbabwe: Democracy on the Line - Tuesday, June 13, 2000




 As it happens, I have been to Egypt, also to
Greece (India and China also but that's beside the point right
now).  I remember having the same reaction that Ben-Jochanan
has spoken of.  "But these Egyptians were black people!"  I
had absorbed a Western education which told me first came the
Egyptians, who btw were white, then came the Greeks.  The Egyptians
developed empirical methods of geometric mensuration because
the Nile flooded every year, and that served as a spur for
the methods developed.  But it was the Greeks who took it to
a higher level, conceptually and theoretically.  Well, the
first lie that was exploded was that the Egyptians were white.
By the overwhelming evidence of statuary and paintings that
I could see with my own eyes, it was clear that they were black
people, certainly what would count as black in the United
States or the Caribbean. The second was the expectation
that the glory of Greece would somehow surpass Egypt.  Not so
at all.  Not even by a long shot.  You have to stand within
the temple, say, at Karnak, then go to the Acropolis, to very
quickly realize that the latter is first of all a copy, and
*much* less impressive in scale.  And if you walk around the base
of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and contemplate the sheer
vastness of that structure, you quickly realize that this, and the
other pyramids, were built by men who knew what they were doing.
It was a matter of plan and execution -- calculation -- rather than
of general idea followed by a lot of empirical muddling through. 
To see it is to be convinced that these master builders knew their
geometry, trigonometry, and statics.  Geometry is to the pyramids
as climbing Mt. Everest is to building a Hilton Hotel atop it.
The first, impressive though it is, is as nothing compared to
the latter; and the latter may be taken as proof that you had
truly mastered the former.  Nothing I saw in Greece came even close to
matching the Egyptian accomplishment.  Which is why I have very
little difficulty crediting the Egyptians by inference from
indirect evidence.  And I too do not feel the need for the
"smoking gun" direct evidence that would remove all doubt.
I do suspect, however, that the disparagers of a black ancient
Egypt would do the dance of distortion and denial even if there were
direct evidence.

More so, he ( Wabun-Inini) felt Nelson Mandela should have been using his stature as an internationally acclaimed freedom fighter to both defend Zimbabwe and insist South Africa do the same thing for its people.

Not only do "Carbon Footprint" groups not care, they are reducing our carbon footprints successfully. The CFL bulbs contain enough Mercury to contaminate 6,000 gallons of water. Walmart alone has enough to wipe out the USA. China is also the ONLY country that makes them.



a controversial memo that was leaked from the World Bank–this was when Lawrence Summers, now the chief economic adviser, was the chief economist at the World Bank–in which it said, "I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest-wage country is impeccable, and we should face up to that. I've always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly under-polluted." He said he was being sarcastic.


A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.


"For every man who retraces his steps to find God, there is a great celebration among the angels. They actually appear and receive that returning soul in great joy."

Says Margaret Newsham: “Even then, ECHELON was very big and sophisticated. As early as 1979 we could track a specific person and zoom in on his phone conversation while he was communicating. Since our satellites could in 1984 film a postage stamp lying on the ground, it is almost impossible to imagine how all-encompassing the system must be today.”

More importantly, Israeli outrage is a proof that - despite approval for it by radical Cabbalists and neoliberals - transplantation of human organs is an immoral dreadful thing, too close to cannibalism, and we all know that. Yes, it is awful if Israeli soldiers tear kidneys out of Palestinians and kill them afterwards. But it is equally awful, if a kind doctor removes a kidney out of a Detroit mechanic whose house was repossessed by a gentle banker, or out of a Ukrainian worker who was sacked by a polite oligarch, or out of an Indian farmer who has to pay his debt to Monsanto. Every poor man on the planet is a Palestinian ­ though the means of his dispossession may vary. This kind of thing should be stopped. The human body is sacred. These operations are too expensive and can't be justified. Mankind should overcome its fear of death. We live and we die. There is no reason to waste thousands of dollars prolonging a life by expensive operations if this money can be used for feeding the starving.

"In the Hebrew language, if you ever take the time to study the Old Testament, you will learn that the word 'holocaust' is shorthand for 'a burnt sacrificial offering to Hashem (the god of the Jews) in return for certain favours.' It's neatly defined as such in the Jewish encyclopaedia."





The Palestinian Representative's Speech at the UN

'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!'

He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.

When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.

An Israeli had stolen them.'

The Israeli representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are you talking about? The Israelis weren't there then.'

The Palestinian representative smiled and said:

'And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.'






Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.




There was apparently no one in the Saudi Royal family that had a problem at all with this quote from a known Zionist Jew Neocon Edward Luttwak about why Iraq had to be destroyed in 1991:

"Saddam is not like the Saudi Princes who spend the bulk of their lives outside of their country, and who fritter away the Kingdom's oil profits on prostitutes and bottles of champagne in Paris. No, Saddam is building railways! Creating electrical networks! Highways and other important elements of a serious State infrastructure! After eights years of war against the Iranian regime of Khomeini, he desperately needs to demobilize his Republican Guard, which incorporates so many of this technical elite, in order to rebuild the war-devastated country. These people are his technicians, his engineers. If they are put to work in the way Saddam wishes, they will rapidly make Iraq the most advanced power in the region, and we cannot allow this to happen."
