You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEd News

I am a student of history, religion, exoteric and esoteric, the Humanities in general and a tempered advocate for the ultimate manifestation of peace, justice and the unity of humankind through self-realization and mutual respect, although I am not a pacifist, nor do I believe in peace at any price, which is no peace at all but only delays inevitable conflict. There are times when the world must act. Planetary consciousness is evolving, but there are many retrograde forces that would drag us back down.

I have also written one book, a combination of poetry, photography and essays entitled "Post Katrina Blues", my reflections on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans two years after Katrina struck. Go to the store at http://sanfranciscobaypress.com/ to purchase. And I also have a blog called Plutonian Mac.

The Women of the Libyan Revolution and Why aren't American Women Supporting Them? The Libyan Revolution is not just a men's revolution but a women's revolution as well, despite the wretched attempts by some on the Left, not to mention certain conspiracists, to misrepresent their common struggle as a Western-controlled proxy-operation. Meanwhile, for Gaddafi to actually triumph will send a message to the remaining tyrannies in the Middle East that the bludgeon, whip, slaughter and torture still work.

The KingFish Schemes to Reignite the National Psychosis How should we treat Congressman King and his McCarthyite-redux House Committee on Homeland Security, as angst-producing, racist threat to American Moslems or as farce? Or perhaps, as both. Johnathan Swift certainly knew that one of the greatest swords against injustice is political satire.

Gaddafi's Libya: A State of Terror and Breaking the Silence For decades, Colonel Gaddafi has been able to keep the lid on the horrors that his death squad/torture-state repressive apparatus has visited on the Libyan people so that he can maintain de facto absolute power and full access to the wealth of the Libyan people. But now Libyans around the world have found the courage to expose Gaddafi's lies and tell the shocking truth.

Inside Gaddafi's Torture Chambers - in Tandem with the al Qaeda Canard Al Jazeera has just released a video documenting Gaddafi's torture chambers, while, meanwhile, Gaddafi tries to pull a propaganda rabbit out of his swollen hat with the same al Qaeda canard that the US has used to justify its endless "War on Terror". So now we have a unique moment to observe and ponder the parallels between the delusional propaganda of Gaddafi and that of the American Warfare State.

Life Imitating Art in Haiti? Pontecorvo's Movie Queimada (Burn!) as Presage for What May Go Down Next Is life imitating art in Haiti right now with the return of Baby Doc Duvalier to Port-au-Prince? Is a plan underway to sweep him or, more likely, his faction of the Haitian oligarchy back into back into power on the wings of revolutionary upheaval. It wouldn't be the first time, a fact that did not escape the attention of Gillo Pontecorvo when he made his unsung and underrated movie Burn! or Queimada.
