Comments are pouring in from viewers in France and the USA about Christine Rose's incendiary documentary "Liberty Bound."

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

Allegedly discovered in an IBM copier purchased from surplus in the mid 80's, this document apparently exposes the truth about a heinous conspiracy.

Genocide is underway in Sudan.

The contrast in our government’s response to Sudan and Iraq is striking. Bush was willing to buck the United Nations and spend $200 billion to invade Iraq (most recently for humanitarian reasons).

It took me quite a while in this world to see the subtle differences between charity and actual sharing and giving. Charity involves one entity keeping all the wealth and power, and giving metered allowances to those they control. Sharing involves equal access to resources and equal access to power. Giving involves relinquishment of control of property to another. Charity is controlling and paternalistic, while Sharing and Giving involve empowerment. Charity is a very different species than Sharing and Giving. This subtle difference is played out in so many ways it is astounding, from our “charity� in Iraq, where we want total control yet try to play ourselves off as merciful, selfless, “givers,� to Christian soup kitchens that hold food from they hungry until the hungry proclaim allegiance to a mythic white god from the Middle East. People need to ask themselves whether a situation involves actual sharing or giving, or whether it is manipulative “charity,� at every turn in the road.
