Some 9/11 Truth: We've created a society of suicide bombers

The topic of “suicide bombers” was often raised, of course, during the build-up to the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Regardless of what any of us believe about the events of that day, it seems we can all stand united in our superiority as we assure ourselves that civilized humans (read: like us) don’t partake in kamikaze missions or detonate explosive-laden vests.

I could write volumes on the conditioning behind such beliefs and even more on the myriad reasons to question any “official story” being sold, but instead, I’d like to suggest we take a much wider view of this “suicide as homicide” phenomenon.

Environmentalism's Last Stand

Over the past few weeks, while most Americans were enjoying summer vacations or debating the upcoming NFL season or dealing with hurricanes and earthquakes, over 1200 humans have been arrested (as of this writing) near the White House for protesting against a proposed tar sands pipeline.

This may not qualify as major event or even a large protest (at a single 1971 anti-war demonstration in Washington, DC, 14,000 protestors were arrested) but since many have called Canada’s tar sands project the “most destructive” on Earth, we might be witnessing environmentalism’s last stand.

Keep the "Labor" in Labor Day

With the ongoing demonization of unions, it’s no surprise that labor history remains obscured and misrepresented. With that in mind, we can choose to see the approaching Labor Day as nothing more than the symbolic end of summer and an excuse for more shopping…or we can use it as inspiration to reflect upon some of the brave souls who forged a path of justice and solidarity.
