POPSGadhafi Gets His Tent, plus
The warmongers and hatemongers want distractions and smear. While one of the most extraordinary and exciting speech I have ever heard took place, I see more stories about failed efforts to stop Gadhafi from setting up a tent. This clip, for example, spent half it's time on that tent non-issue and falsefly claimed it was successful. But no, Gadhafi got to put up his tent, made his speech and despite all the poor translation, smears of it being "rambling," confused, outrageous, etc. -- he got his points across and apparently the web is abuzz about it. The headline of this clip for example, said the speech at the UN "confused," -- but that was not true. It made several clear points. -- especial the very clear point that five nations always having veto power over Security Council resolutions was unfair. D'uh. Other proposed UN charter reforms were suggested. Also talk about the terrorism of nations with nukes, imperialism, colonialism evils, etc. - all valid. & so

POPSKhadafy Speaks at U.N. The horrid translation on live TV are hard to believe. The following summary can't be any worse: 1. You folks in the General Assembly might as well be speaking at Hyde Park. 2. The veto power of five nations on the Security Council is unfair. 3. Continents and long recognized regional unions should have a permanent seat on the Security Council (like the African Union, EU, etc.) 4. General Assembly should be real power, not just Security Council. 5. No more Mickey Mouse 6. 65 wars since UN founded. 7. Nuclear power's do war/ terrorism too, killing millions. And they are pirates of resources. 8. Obama good ideas but could just be an shinning exception in the dark. 9. Cruel Colonialism of Africa ripped off $7.77 Trillion. Pay us back. 10. UN should Investigate Iraq War and many assassinations that favored imperialism. 11. Arabs didn't do the Holocaust. It was done by Europeans. 12. We're friends of Jews, but stop the aggression that poisons the worl

POPSRent-a-Colony - 99 years "We have the money," so China, South Korea, France, Qatar, whoever has the cash thinks they can buy up land and resources all over Africa because they need the short term cash because they are still tied to an external market economy that has left nation after nation with no appreciable internal market. It's Colony 2.0 time!

POPSUS "dark night" Policy to Ensure Iraq Remains a Client State In beginning the history of the near future, it will be particularly importamnt to look at how this alleged new policy deals with the growing unrest between indigenous Iraqi factions, notably Shi;ite-Sunni, and Kurds-Baghdad government. A shortish and interesting article which offers a non-western analysis which may connect brain cells.

POPSRabbi Takes Obama to School
In his almost hour-long speech, there is not a single word about Islam’s well known and checkered past. Ironically, the American president offered plenty of references to what he sees are America’s evils, such as its “colonialism” and history of slavery. “For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation,” Obama told his audience, citing a litany of American shortcomings. He failed to mention that Arab Muslims were the greatest slave traders in the history of humanity. Mr. Obama even has the unbelievable gall, when talking about the treatment of Muslim women, to condemn Western countries for attempting to stop Muslim women from using the full facial cover, or hijab. This is a symbol of Muslim subjugation of women. Obama said: “Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit - for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should

POPSSenate votes to block release of torture photographs Who are they trying to protect? They claim to protect the people of the U.S. but they are actually protecting members and actions of the Bush administration. Obama’s talk of ‘greater openness’ has now been watered down with ‘as long as it does not open us to lawsuits’. The best and most effective way to protect American lives is to stop demeaning ourselves by dehumanizing anyone who does not follow our belief system. The day the U.S. openly acknowledges it is in the business of colonialization for the purpose of controlling the world and then vows to stop the practice and allow others to live in peace, in whatever manner they see fit, is the day we will all start on the road to a more peaceful existence.

POPS Colonialism Much is made in the east about the dreadful history of European colonialism, the bitter legacies of humiliation and dysfunction that empires leave when they withdraw Paul Fregosi in his book Jihad in the West: Muslim Conquests from the 7th to the 21st Centuries calls Islamic Jihad “the most unrecorded and disregarded major event of history. It has, in fact, been largely ignored,” although it has been a fact of life in Europe, Asia and Africa for almost 1400 years. As Fregosi says, “Western colonization of nearby Muslim lands lasted 130 years, from the 1830s to the 1960s. Muslim colonization of nearby European lands lasted 1300 years, from the 600s to the mid-1960s. Yet, strangely, it is the Muslims…who are the most bitter about colonialism and the humiliations to which they have been subjected; and it is the Europeans who harbor the shame and the guilt. It should be the other way around.” Well, yes. But that’s different. via julescrittenden

POPSThe ICC case that wounding, killing and robbing peacekeepers is a grave crime
ICC prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, contends that killing peacekeepers constitutes an attack on "the millions of civilians who those soldiers came to protect." The rebel commander's voluntary appearance in court has created a deliberate contrast to the reaction of the government officials who have been issued arrest warrants. Both the cabinet minister and Mr. Bashir have vilified the court, saying it has no jurisdiction over events in Sudan. The government denies accusations that it mobilised Arab militias to take revenge on the local population, in what the US and others have called a genocide. In the debate over the creation of the ICC, the USA fought to curb its reach. They were particularly opposed to the possibility that American soldiers might be subjected to the court's jurisdiction. Human rights groups and European leaders said they thought Washington was motivated by the fear that American policymakers, not just soldiers, would be held accountable before the court

POPS1964: Malcolm X on Zionism 
"The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians. Zionist Israel's occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it impossible for these newly independent Arab nations to concentrate on strengthening the economies of their countries and elevate the living standard of their people. And the continued low standard of living in the Arab world has been skilfully used by the Zionist propagandists to make it appear to the Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically qualified to lift the living standard of their people ... thus, indirectly "educing" Africans to turn away from the Arabs and towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance. "They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as f

POPSsaving Papuans from genocide and total annihilation is now a global priority What is happening in West Papua is morally wrong and ethically unacceptable. It is urgent for human rights observers and independent journalists to gain unhindered access into Indonesian-occupied West Papua NOW!!! We are talking GENOCIDE on a grand scale taking place, in the 21st century. There are 6,1 million Papuans in independent Papua New Guinea, and only 1,2 million Papuans remaining in Indonesian-occupied West Papua That is a difference of 4,9 million Papuans. The huge disparity in numbers can only confirm that genocide and ethnic cleansing is on-going in West Papua. This is an insult to humanity and an utter travesty on our fellow beings. Let the Indonesians know that you will not stand by and allow them to enforce their "Final Solution" on the Papuan people. The site www.koteka.net contains numerous documents and articles as do many Papua sites in the World Wide Web Virtual Library. It is imperative that the international community step in NOW to help the West Papuans.

POPSTerrorism Every Bit As Dangerous As Communism (dialectical materialism) These two clips are for the ignoramuses who commented on my previous clips, probably without reading the entire column. Sadly, if you oppose communism and terrorism, even if you acknowledge the evils of colonialism, and our own country's evil deeds, critics still attempt to debase you by insults rather than arguments that disprove your theses. Prove to me that communism isn't genocidal. Prove to me that terrorism is not genocidal. After all, colonialism was genocidal. They all spring from the same spot: hardened hearts.

POPSKing's Anti-Imperialism and the Challenge for Obama Obama's plan to order the beginning of a withdrawal from Iraq on day one of his administration is consistent with the anticolonialism of the King tradition and of Obama's own autobiography. But the dark clouds over the Obama administration are Afghanistan and Palestine. What Obama accomplishes on those two issues will powerfully shape his presidency. Only if he can avoid perpetuating colonial abuses in both can he hope to claim the mantle of anticolonialism from King and from his own father. For the Bush administration assiduously robbed other human beings of their status as images of the divine, and the US will not be whole until Afghans and Palestinians can say in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at Last, Free at Last, Great God Almighty, I'm Free at Last."
