Humanitarian Intervention: The White Man's Burden? If we look at the world through the eyes of a nouveau-imperialist, few things are more certain than that humanitarian intervention is the special and last prerogative of the white race (known in polite circles as The West). When the Americans, Canadians, British, French, Germans, Norwegians, Danes, Belgians, Spanish and Dutch go into Afghanistan(*), we can rest assured that the few dark faces will not spoil the party: the commanders, the decision-makers will be white, as will the the bulk of ...

Why the Jewish Community Should Demand 9/11 Truth I think that Bill underestimates the power of Israel *over* the US (how many other countries can murder UN workers multiple times, for example, with no consequence?), but nonetheless, he is correct in his position that the anti-semitic stuff is a poison for 9/11 truth to emerge and easily discredits us all.
