  • The Difference Between The US Empire And The British Empire

    The difference between people who supported the British Empire and people who support the US Empire is that those who supported the British Empire knew they were supporting an empire. Someone who supported the British Empire’s acts of mass military slaughter around the world did so because they supported the Crown and wanted His Majesty […]

    From Strip Mall USA, to Gaza, to Venezuela: An Architecture of Lies

    So begins the revolution in behalf of soul: The world is primarily and always an aesthetic phenomenon with which our animal senses and innate reactions are attuned. — James Hillman, Healing Fiction We tell white lies to avoid conflict or embarrassment. We tell ourselves wholly subjective tales in order to cope with crushing realities. Nations […]

  • Overthrowing the Constitution: All Sides Are Waging War on Our Freedoms

    Overthrowing the Constitution: All Sides Are Waging War on Our Freedoms

    It is both apt and ironic that the anniversary of 9/11, which paved the way for the government to overthrow the Constitution, occurs the week before the anniversary of the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain […]

    What’s Next for Battlefield America?

    I did not know Israel was capturing or recording my face. [But Israel has] been watching us for years from the sky with their drones.

  • Nesting in Australia: Indian Spy Rings Take Root

    In his 2021 annual threat assessment, the director-general of ASIO, the Australian domestic intelligence service, pointed to an active spy ring operating in the country, or what he chose to call a “nest of spies”.  The obvious conclusion drawn by information-starved pundits was that the nest was filled with the eggs and fledglings of Chinese […]

  • Warrantless Surveillance Makes a Mockery of the Constitution

    Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference … The Thought Police would get him just the same … the arrests invariably happened at night … In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared, always during […]

  • Reimagining “Nationalism” and “Democracy” with “the View from the Shore”

    Having no Native American ancestry, I nevertheless want to express a deep admiration for the intense beauty of the spiritual foundations of what Steve Newcomb (Shawnee-Lenape) suggests we refer to as “the view from the shore”—the perspectives of peoples enjoying a genuinely free and independent existence before what Tink Tinker (wazhazhe/Osage) has called “the eurochristians” […]

  • Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part II

    Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part II

    Summary of Part I  After briefly reviewing the theories of the relationship between religion and nationalism, I find the theories of Anthony Smith, George Mosse and Adrian Hutchinson the most compelling. They all agree that religion provides the propagandistic foundation for nationalism. But I also claim that it is a particular kind of religion, monotheism, that is […]
