July 8, 2008 in Jerusalem and what the MSM has Failed to Report
[East Jerusalem] On July 8, 2008, the final act in Mordechai Vanunu's current trials plays out, when Israel either puts Vanunu behind bars for six more months, or "something else" as Vanunu wrote. Mordechai Vanunu's historic freedom of speech trial began in January 2006. In July 2007, Israel convicted him on 14 [out of over a hundred interviews with foreign journalists] counts of violating the court order prohibiting him from speaking to any foreigners since his 2004 release from 18 years in prison for exposing Israel's secret nuclear weapons program in 1986.A possible something else t… Read More

A reflection on Iraq I wrote shortly after the USA bombed Baghdad Excerpted from KEEP HOPE ALIVEChapter 13: CATS AND COMPASSIONTerese absentmindedly caressed the pristine one hundred sheet Official Mead Composition notebook during breakfast. Terese had been writing poetry for years, but refused to let anyone read any of it. She even refused Jake and had a secret ritual. The first full moon after she completed a book, she would light a fire at 1 a.m. in the fire pit where Jake barbequed. She would read her words one last time by the light of the moon, then toss in the Official Mead Compo… Read More

Dr. Sami Al-Arian vs Big Brother's 'Ministry of Justice'
American Palestinian Professor Dr. Sami Amin Al-Arian, has spent the last five years behind bars although NO jury ever returned a single guilty verdict against him.

A bowl had been placed over the top, and it was sealed with bitumen.At firs… Read More

Before Jesus was a man; he was a SHE

The Beatitudes for the 21st Century
About 2,000 years ago, when Christ was about 33, he hiked up a hill and sat down under an olive tree and began to teach the people;"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven." In other words: it is those who know their own spiritual poverty, their own limitations and sins honestly and trust God loves them in spite of themselves who already live in the Kingdom of God.How comforted we will all be, when we see, we haven't got a clue, as to the depth and breadth of pure love and mercy of The Divine Mystery of The Universe. God's name in ancient Aramaic is Abba wh… Read More
