Q: Why does it matter what really happened to John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 OR to Martin Luther King, Jr on April 4, 1968 OR to Robert F. Kennedy on June 6, 1968 OR to Malcolm X  on February 21. 1965  OR to Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone on October 25, 2002 OR, for that matter, to the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on September 11, 2001?

A: “The national leader of the people is only a figurehead and has no real power. Power lies behind the scenes within dark secrets. Others pull the strings of the politician puppets. If an upstart, politician puppet makes waves or rocks the boat or doesn’t play ball…that puppet gets eliminated. It is why Caesar was killed. It is why Kennedy was killed.

of evidence to be presented is overwhelming and it connects so many

An avalanche of polling shows Joe Biden with abysmal approval ratings and grim re-election prospects, but Democratic leaders keep spinning away in dreamland.

Thousands of miles separate Uganda and Congo from the Gaza Strip, but these places are connected to Palestine in ways that traditional geopolitical analyses would fail to explain. 

On January 3, it was revealed that the far-right Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu is actively discussing proposals to expel millions of Palestinians to African countries, in exchange for a fixed price.

“I am begging the world: stop all the wars, stop killing people, stop killing babies. War is not the answer. . . .War is not how you fix things. This country, Israel, is going through horror. And I know the mothers in Gaza are going through horror. . . .”

I can only kneel in awe.

Yes, there is sanity in the world – moral sanity – even, and especially, now, as revenge rages in Israel, fed by American armaments. There are courageous voices calling not simply for “peace,” essentially understood by much of the world as nothing more than a ceasefire, but for, oh my God, compassion, healing, love. The “enemy” is as human as we are! And waging war against the enemy guarantees nothing but . . . endless war.
