Judah P Benjamin - Jewish Confederate!

British Judah P. Benjamin [1811-1884] – “Jewish” Confederate Attorney General! (16.11.2024)

Many who knew Judah, however, have stated that his legal arguments and his personal views were two different things. In reality, Judah, his family, and his broader community in the South were generally in favour of slave-ownership. He believed that slaves were “property” and that a government had no right to interfere in the ownership of property. Particularly a “property” guaranteed in the 1776 Constitution. He thought that freeing slaves was impractical because this population had no idea of how to survive as free-functioning individuals. Such a transition, if it could happen at all, would take a very long time involving preparation. For those who supported slavery, these attitudes were common amongst the “White” community. Another justifying argument involved the idea that Biblical texts justified the enslavement of Africans – with slavery being god’s will. In 1862, Judah P. Benjamin was appointed Confederate Secretary of State, and he pursued the foreign policy of attempting to pursued Great Britain and France to recognise the Confederacy. In 1864, Confederate General Patrick Cleburne (of the Army of Tennessee) suggested that all the slaves in the South should be freed and immediately armed – to form “Black” Regiments in the Confederate Army. Jeferson Davis vettoed this idea (even though Judah P. Benjamin had been discussing this since 1863).

Controlling the Police Problem in Brazil! (8.6 2023)

The presence of Police has become an ever growing problem in modern, urban settings, but a radical ‘new’ Catholic-led initiative has been rolled-out on the streets of Brazil! Whereas local populations used to be harassed by the Police under the guise of maintaining ‘safety’ – now groups of heavily armed Church Committees (blessed by the Pope) – are never more than 15 minutes away! This is just  one of the benefits of the so-called ’15-minute cities’ that the political far-right is expanding so much energy upon confronting. The good news is that the average citizen is never more than an AR-15 away from complete and total safety!

The US Bucket List! (10.4.2023)

The routine ownership of fire-arms is ‘banned’ in most Western Europe countries! What is interesting is that the rebelling American government in the 1770s attempted to ‘militarise’ it’s British population against its rightful (elected) London government by overturning King Henry VIII’s (16th century) general ban on private weapon ownership. The King had dissolved the ownership of private armies as part of the dismantling of the feudal system and as a security against his fellow nobles launching an armed coup against his leadership! From that time onwards, the only military force allowed in the UK has been the British Army controlled by the Crown – and then after Cromwell (in the 17th century) Parliament. However, during the 18th century the British government was afraid of invasion by the French and for a time a law was in effect which allowed Local Militias to be formed – manned by the good and the well-off who could afford to pay for their own uniforms, pistols, muskets and training, etc. Interestingly, this law was active during the American War of Independence and it could be that the American rebels got the idea of arming their population from the British policy of preparing it’s homeland population to meet the threat of Napoleon.

Palestine: Land Day – “A Permanent Intellectual and Cultural Broadcasting Focal-Point!” – Walid Abdel Rahim (3.4.2023)

This is how the day appeared on the surface – but in its depth – it was a day of expression of the oppressed masses hidden in the collective hearts of the Palestinians living within Lebanon, Syria and Jordan! At that time, the massacres by the agents of the Zionist Neo-Nazism had begun to implement their pograms of genocide and extermination supported by certain Arabs and by international forces – the extermination of the Palestinian Revolution after the massacres of September – using Lebanon as its arena! The miracle of Palestinian integration and the eternal genius of its people, which all the demons of the Land could not obstruct! It is not right for this to be just a festival – but is rather a time of permanent and eternal intellectual cultural focus and transmission! The Land here does not represent a day of just farms and orchards. Although it is not separate, and it cannot be separated, the Land is the natural, automatic abode of identity.
