A Warm Face

"No more illusions"

Silvia Federici, November 22, 2012.

Pilgrimage

Bright Sun chanting clear,
pilgrims bathe forms
in brilliant air.

Day breaks
with fanfare.
Skin blushes
at ray's touch.

Light abates and
gently succumbs
to gracious Eve.

At the Address

{Obscene, tinder small lies to backfires

nourishing the big lie.}

His arms conduct but do not

embrace.

Words weave sheets

of focused tenderness.

Above our heads 

a conquering flag

slaps heaven to order.

Outside every window
a sword bearing Angelus

of terrible Eden.

Much Better than Obama Desecrating MLK Jr's Bible with His Bloody Hands

"Neither party is mine, not the Jackass or the Elephant."

"You Are Not Going to Have Diarrhea Any Longer!": A Sensible Prelude to the Second Inaugural of President Obama

"Make me a cake today."

Archangel

There is discovery in darkness.
Space makes thought its home.
Bodies, uninterrupted by light's
division, commune.

There is comfort in darkness.
Thought makes space its cloth.
Eyes, undisturbed by light's
terror, shepherd fire.

There is warmth in darkness.
Home makes space thought.
Hearts, untroubled by light's
breaking, beat in time.

Austerity + Al Qaeda = More Specie for NATO Intervention in Africa and Asia

Mali is not the new home of Al Qaeda. It is the home of refugees from Libya. The home of Al Qaeda has always been nations US/NATO invade or bomb: Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, and now Mali. Nations where US/NATO desire regime change to secure "interests". In Kosovo, Libya, and Syria Al Qaeda affiliated groups were armed, trained and given funds for "organic uprisings". Either way, Al Qaeda is always an instrument of US/NATO intervention.

"Paternalist Racism" from Taft to McChrystal: "Responsibility" to Occupy and Slaughter Less Mature Humans Abroad Never Changes

“Like a teenager, you really don’t want your parents hanging around you, but … you like to know if things go bad, they’re going to help,” he said.

“We have an emotional responsibility” to leave US occupying forces in Afghanistan, he told AP.

-- Stanley McChrystal, 2013.

Taft "assured President McKinley that 'our little brown brothers' would need 'fifty or one hundred years' of close supervision 'to develop anything resembling Anglo-Saxon political principles and skills.'", and reports that the military greeted Taft's assertion "that 'Filipinos are moved by similar considerations to those which move other men' with utter scorn".

Modern Science and Experimentation: Liturgy that Provides Statements "Meant Much More Seriously"

"Since the time of Galileo and Newton, modern science has been based upon a detailed study of nature and upon the postulate that only such statements should be made, as have been verified or at least can be verified by experiment. The idea that one could single out some events from nature by an experiment, in order to study the details and to find out what is the constant law in the continuous change, did not occur to the Greek philosophers. Therefore, modern science has from its beginning stood upon a much more modest, but at the same time firmer, basis than ancient philosophy. Therefore, the statements of modern physics are in some way meant much more seriously than the statements of Greek philosophy."
