Some are more familiar with the way the British occupiers pronounced it "Bombay". It's got a huge Muslim presence, so does India in general. Under the British "protectorate" because it's not polite to call them Imperialists anymore. Even though the Queen does still hold the title of Empress. That's beside the point. Under the protectorate Britain called the following "India"; Iran, Pakistan, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka which used to be Ceylon, there's been a lot of name changes, Thailand was Siam until I was 11 years old, you know, and knowing the younger readers think I'm ancient... but no, these changes were pretty much around my lifetime. But there's a Church in Mumbai. No big deal, right? Before the English took possession of the entire region after the Napoleonic wars, we are taught in Merka are used to calling it the War of 1812, which "our" participation was mainly getting stomped by the British a few times and calling it a draw, and Andrew Jackson simply taking Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, the Mega-Rez called Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, in case you're not paying attention you notice that there's a lot of native names, and Indiana was ceded to the Tribes "for as long as grass grows" you know the lying spiel... The British and their allies took a lot more than that. Like India. The "French and Indian War" was referred to as the 7 Years War and still is called that everywhere except to our bumpkin backwater podunk pseudo-democracy 'merka. Even Canada refers to the proper name. Churchill called it the "REAL" first world war. It was that big. So were the Napoleonic Wars. /history lesson, for now. Anyhoo... this church surrounded by a huge Muslim majority, and a lot of Hindu and Buddhist populations, is the Church of St Thomas. The Thomas who refused to recognize Jesus resurrected. Doubting Thomas. That St Thomas, yeah. He founded the church in Mumbai. It's first century CE or AD whichever floats you boat. There's a lot of hoo-haw about Muslims burning churches and the people of those churches. Like the Church in Antioch which was pretty much destroyed by U.S. bombing raids. There's a big lie making the scene, has been since the Crusades, that all Arabians and Turks and Persians (Iran, Afghanistan...) are forced to be Muslim. Which is Bullshit. The Abyssinian Catholic Church in Iraq, you remember Iraq, right? "Our" country tore the place apart and are forcing the people of Iraq to pay for the damages. For Real. Ten percent of the pre-ameriklan conquest population were Christian, AND there are synagogues in most of the countries especially the Big 7 that are banned from immigration, the ones where Donald Trump and his asshole Wall Street Comrades don't own the entire country, And Churches. The Church of St Thomas has been in operation for 2000 years and likewise in Syria (Antioch) and this puts the lie to the lips of those who claim a huge persecution against Christians and Jews. How many churches
Women
Well, it DOES have the word “correct” in it
Just a synonym for "right". One of the candidates for a high office said putting Ms Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill was "pure political correctness" Woo hoo! Hallelujah! It's finally been decided that politics should be done Right! and doing right is good politics! As for Jackson, apart from being a slaveholder, he was a real estate tycoon who sold land before the residents of the land were even informed they were being evicted, because of their skin color. A racist thief in other words. And a murderer, let's not forget that part. He couldn't do the evictions without a credible threat of killing people if they didn't give it up. And he had a whole shitload of people killed. American people, in case that makes a lot more difference to Some People than it does to me. It would be really kewl to have a picture of the old racist bastard burning in Hell, but I suspect that establishment doesn't allow cameras.
US has Duty to protect against Domestic White Sex Slavers
Beat the drums, play the pipes, fire up the drones, we have a new target. This one I get to choose. Barbara Nimri Aziz. published on Global Research has an article (see link) that starts with the propaganda about the Incubator Babies, one of the lies told in the buildup to GulfWarz One, Operation Deceptive Storm and goes to Syrian and Iraqi ISIS as being purveyors of sex slaves. And of course only Muslim men ever practice such a thing, right? No such thing could ever happen here in AmeriKKKa, right? Not by people, surely, with names like Al or Harry or other western good ol' boy WASP nominally Christians, right? So let's have drone strikes against New Braunfels Texas or Reno Nevada or any other sovereign entity that shelters these dirty dogs. Come on, lads, let's go rescue the ladies in the U.S. of A.... Here in the Homeland. Let's wipe out the cities and suburbs harboring the "christian" sex slave owners. And not just those Funny quasi-christian cults like LDS or SDA, living in compounds out in the bundoks, where there aren't any impartial witnesses, just the BATF and FBI agents word against conveniently dead from Suicide By Cop, let's get the Catholics, Methodists, Baptists... The witnesses could go before Congress, just like the suspiciously Non-Educated Arab women who, with no school permitted to them but they speak very fluent English, like the daughter of a Kuwaiti diplomat who hadn't been to Kuwait since her early childhood but somehow became a Kuwaiti Neo-Natal nurse overnight, and "saw" Iraqi soldiers throw preemie babies on the floor and stomp on them. Come on, boys, we have to back up the propaganda, legitimize the war effort, why not make the war actually equal on all fronts, eh? Fetch out the torture freaks and burn their towns to the ground? Israel did it to Israelites as recorded in the book of Judges. Not just killing off their kinfolk in the tribe of Benjamin but, when there were only a couple thousand Benjamite men fighting a guerrilla resistance in the desert, they repented of their evil in almost erasing a whole tribe of their own people, the Judges decreed that a city, Jabesh of Gilead, should be destroyed and all males (cough cough ahem including babies) and any women who were not virgins should be put to the sword BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T FERVENTLY AGAINST THEIR BENJAMITE COUSINS AND THIS WAS AN EARLY RECORDED INSTANCE OF "IF YOU'RE NOT WITH US YOU MUST BE AGAINST US" and by the way, this IS in the Bible book of Judges chapter 21. Verse 12 says only 400 young virgins were spared. To be given as brides for the soldiers of Benjamin. and y'all know we can't criticize the Modern State of Israel or their ancestors at all ever. So I won't. But if it's good enough for Israel it must be good enough for America. Especially as Our Noble And Righteous Leaders have used the excuse to kill a whole lot
Tom Jefferson, Founding Father and Serial Rapist
Hu-wi. That's Cherokee for "hu-wi". The Silly Season is on us. Every election year we get bombarded ("we" defined as anybody trying to get information to process and mold our separate opinions) by something called The Expressed Original Intent of The Founding Fathers, with both the Founding Fathers and any coherent shared-by-all-or-even-most Americans beliefs at the time of the revolution being as elusive as the majick unicorn who bears the faerie who guards the Holy Grail. And almost as easy to catch. One opinion artist put the number of F.F. persons as 3 (THREE) being Ben Franklin, G. Washington and T. Jefferson. Out of the 4 million humans counted in the first U.S. Census. Three. Two of whom were slaveowners. Franklin didn't have slaves, Washington didn't write in his diary every or any instance of screwing his slaves but Jefferson did, at least on one particular victim. The "serial" part is the long term multiple times the self-made bastard abused one victim in particular, Sally Hemings, aged 14 at the time of the first assault. He would have gotten a life sentence for it today. This muddies the pool of Founding Fathers and the interpretation of just any of the Divine Precepts by which, according to some, every act of the US and state governments must be measured. In shorter terms, bullshit. A great steaming pile equal to or greater than =/> the annual output of the Great State of Texas. For all or even any of the Original Intents of the Foun... eh, whatever to be relevant or even known or opined by modern Americans, every psychic wannabee in the world would have to (coordinated with all the others) hold daily seance sessions. Which would be a more productive use of their time than the usual activities. Recap: Slavery being a hot issue at the time with more than any two or even few interpretations of what constitutes slavery being as elusive as the Majick Unicorn and all the rest of my snarky first paragraph, and that only one issue on which the so-called founding fathers violently disagreed. See Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Duel on wiki or google. I'm not going to make a link on that. Except for a mental link, free for the taking by any and all. You're welcome. To finish out the beginnings of that paragraph, slavery was just one of the Original Intent bullshit questions we're supposed to answer by just grabbing the answer out of the æphemera or maybe just your momma's rectal orifice, voting rights, (originally denied to 90% of Americans at the time), conscription, definition of Common Defense, public welfare, citizenship issues great and small... And we're supposed to make election of quote "our" quote "leaders" based on that. Aaron Burr and Jefferson would be in prison for life if they were majickly reincarnated and pulled their bullshit crimes today. And that's just the start. Another number, contested of course, approximately 80,000 free white Militia and Continental Army at the most At One Time in the revolution,
It’s not Mothers Day- It’s International Women’s Day!
This headline from Montreal caught our attention today… 'Women Unite Against Austerity Measures' Well.... Why Not? Nobody should advocate prosperity for the banks and austerity for those who actually do the work instead of merely owning capital (stored up work done by other people). Women should and CAN lead the way against austerity, repression, and constant war making.
