Glenn Beck: America’s Faith-Based Self-Help Expert
By Michael Orion Powell I see a lot that is familiar in Glenn Beck, and not in the ways that one would assume I would say. It’s not racism or encroaching fascism that I see in him but instead the despondent despair and goofiness that is part of growing up in Washington state. Beck is from Mount Vernon, Washington, a small town not far from my [...]
Gender Anarchy And White Penis Power
The ruling class will always have a strong impact on society, as long as a ruling class exists. The ruling class has for thousands of years been dominated by the male gender. Is it any wonder that this ruling gender has impacted society to favor themselves? In the United States we see ' forefathers' who founded the very structure of the government [...]
Playing the Race Card, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Immigration
We all know those cartoons and drawings from Nazi Germany, and how they depicted the Jewish people, often offensive and shocking. What about how the U.S. depicted the Japanese, most specifically in one superman cartoon where our hero of the red white and blue wailed on the 'evil japs'. We see how these images shaped nations and aided in the [...]
Beware the Moderate Your Greatest Enemy
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku [...]
Social Justice in a Stateless Society
How do we even begin to address social Justice in a stateless society? We do it through direct action not political action. Something like social justice is vast and many changes and issues need to be addressed. Is there a final point to reach? Will the work ever be done? The state has failed to eliminate racism, sexism and other forms of [...]
The Elephant In The Border Shack
I'm very concerned about what I consider to be a blindingly obvious fact. There's actually an argument right now about immigration. This is completely ludicrous. Worse yet, the argument is about how to curtail it and "protect our borders". If this wasn't so infinitely offensive it would be hilarious. I won't go into the racism arguments because I [...]
Prostitution In Northeast Kansas City
The heat outside is almost unbearable. As I drive up and down the Avenue I see an older woman leaning out of an apartment window in front of a fan sweating and trying to get some kind of relief from the heat. With the heat the streets seemed to be filling with more and more people. As you drive down the avenue in Northeast Kansas City you will [...]
Wealth And Power Vs. Poverty in Northeast KC
Here in Northeast Kansas City there has been a patriarchal power elite enforcing it's desires upon the people. They say the answers to the problems of the Northeast can be found in locking human beings in cages or from forcing them out of the city. Women who are prostituted out are being further victimized by their self righteous legislation. The [...]
The National Inventory Of Human Beings Vs. The Migrant
Are you authorized to exist within the confines of the state? Have you been cataloged and placed in big brothers database? The right has gone on a rampage against migrants. The hypocritical belief seems to be that liberty and freedom should be afforded to those that are born into it seems to contradict many of their stances on the constitution. [...]
