D’ya know? I’m beginning to perceive a disconnect btw the person I’ve spoken to on the phone and the person who puts up articles at Dissident Voice.

No shit, Glen?

“IT IS OF COURSE ultimately unfair to laser-beam on Senator Obama a calamity that has long plagued American political culture. Over the last half a century, American foreign policy is held hostage (as John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt have extensively demonstrated) to a single-minded commitment to the Jewish apartheid state, which has in turn degenerated its own political culture to that of Christian imperialism. The US is narratively trapped inside a single-minded commitment to the Jewish state, which now amounts to the worst common denominator of American political culture, and as such it will pull down any sign of hope that may aspire to transform this catastrophe to become the promise that it has always been — a beacon of hope for the world.”
People must be careful and expose the Zionist/imperialist camp especially those “left” who is directed by the hidden Zionists in the US and elsewhere.

Something must be done, but the doing lets loose even bigger dogs.

So who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters?

John Hatch – I hope and pray, for the sake of our country and world that you are wrong…but I’ve lived to to long and seen to much, to scoff at your cynicism.

Therefore they’ll need a ‘New Pearl Harbor Event’ in order to suspend whatever shreds of the Constitution are left, to declare martial law and start filling those brand new Halliburton concentration camps.

Eliminating Mr. Obama with the help of a Muslim patsy would serve the purpose. Mission accomplished without having to kill another 3000 people.

Mr. Obama was left unprotected by Dallas police in what they said was a ‘mistake’. Watch for another mistake, but not for awhile.

Kim, I suggest you make this person choose another handle, since “tomjoad” is so closely identified with Jim Harris?

Thanks,
Dan

tomjoad.org is the URL of a webpage maintained by Jim Harris of Berkeley, NorCal ISM & other organizations. Also his email domain name, as in “gro.daojmotnull@yesac”.

So I’m wondering: is this the real Jim Harris doing a lil trolling on the side? Seems unlikely, far as I know he stays pretty busy. Or is this somebody who saw the same movie & also likes the character enough to adopt it as his identity?

Or is this possibly the same miscreant who caused all the confusion by appropriating one of Jim H’s email addresses to post some destructive bs on Indybay?

I’m not jumping to any conclusions, but I would like to know that the “comments” above come from a real person & not from some provocateur phony.

If the poster is indeed Jim Harris, I apologize again for all the confusion. Btw, there are several other Jim Harrises in my Address Book, one being the popular multi-style multi-instrumentalist/vocalist based here in Sac, who I’ll have on the stand with me at my next paying gig. If I ever get another paying gig:)

Pray for me,

Nothing has been learned. For anyone to be harboring notions that “once in office” this or that will be significantly different is…beyond words. The fact that not only have major names on The Left embraced Obama…and major alternative outlets posted their cheerleading…is heartbreaking.

The “No Difference” cry is an excellent point of departure…for ending such “discussions” as this.

The aspect of the “Hip Hop Movement” I assume you think Glen should take on receives its prevalence and relevance thanks to a bunch of white men. Why don’t you then take it on?

With Kucinich and Edwards out of the race no straight talk AT ALL.

Listen – Glen has the pulse on this.

Obama is loved by white folk because he is perceived as totally non-threatening. He is skinny like J.J. of “What’s Happening?” He is a schmoozer like Will Smith. He fits in with the cops more than with the Crips. He would be far more at home with Martha Stewart than with Angela Davis.

The change proposed by Obama is more superficial than substantial. He talks the talk, but there is reason to believe he walks the walk. I don’t recall him ever getting arrested for protesting at the gates of the School of the Americas. He wants to bomb Pakistan. He opposes the war in Iraq, but not American imperialism. He has not spoken of reparations to Iraqis or to American blacks for their ill-treatment.

Barack Obama is like Michael J. Fox in blackface. I doubt he ever shared a word with Harry Belafonte. He is a product of “the system”. He is a Harvard Man, not a product of Georgetown. If he showed up in the inner city, he would probably get his ass kicked, robbed, and maybe raped, cause he is “pretty”.

Barack wants change, as in “change the channel”, not change the media.
He is an administrator, not a revolutionary. Unfortunately, even if elected, he would be coming in at the end of empire and the pending unraveling of the national and international monetary, ecological, economic, and social systems and infrastructure will leave him as helpless and worthless as the second appendix on a set of Siamese twins.

Your government is in control.

At the very least, I’d say Obama deserves the benefit of the doubt. Tell us Mr. Ford, et al, why can’t BAR give him that? If hip-hoppers get a pass, why can’t somebody who might actually do some good. It really smacks of the contemporary refrain about African-Americans in this country. . . They have no real leaders.

Now they have one and he’s playing with the big boys, crossing color lines, socioeconomic lines, party lines, etc., etc., doing things no one has seen in decades–

I’d say BAR is out of touch with real black agendas.

So, saying we should invade Pakistan, you think is a good idea?

You see Obama’s telling you all exactly how he thinks “it is”. His telegraphing it for you plain as day. But you aint listening. You only hear HOPE and simpleton frames (I’m not implying you are a simpleton, btw). That’s just how Bill Clinton got elected. Liberals thought, he’s just doing what he needs to do to get elected then we’ll have “our day”. Didn’t happen. In fact, when he said he was for the death penalty he really meant it and installed 3 strikes your out – and look at the incarceration stats today. Free trade? You bet and then some. He got the NAFTA deal Reagan could only dream of.

No, Obama’s policies will be interventionists and corporate-driven. This empire will be in good hands with Obama – that is if you like empire. I don’t know whether minorities will benefit. There really isn’t much of coorelation between race/ethnicity and social/economic justice.

He’s a Dem and committed neoliberal, a protege of Joe Lieberman. See what you want. But so far there’s little to support your “faith”.
