The fight for the soul of America could be nearly over. The fight for democracy has ended: the military ignore their vows to uphold and defend the constitution. Instead, they are part of Trump, Inc, following his orders alone. They bomb foreign countries at will, commit piracy and murder on the high seas and areContinue reading “America’s Deadly Three Cs”

Chopping Wood, Carrying Water
For any readers familiar with Zen Buddhism the above phrase will be familiar: “Before enlightenment, chopping wood, carrying water; after enlightenment, chopping wood, carrying water.” When I was young and much more idealistic than I am now–and I am still an idealist!–I used to picture enlightenment as a constant state of bliss…perhaps even as anContinue reading “Chopping Wood, Carrying Water”
RFK, Jr: The New Karl Brandt?
RFK, Jr has been very vocal of late concerning the unhappy plight of people with autism and the drain they place on society and their families. This redounds with Aktion T4, a private authorisation signed by Hitler in 1939 to authorise the involuntary euthanasia of children and adults with disabilities. Dr. Brandt and his associatesContinue reading “RFK, Jr: The New Karl Brandt?”
The Munich Irony
More than a few pundits have noted the ironic similarity of this week’s Munich conference between leaders of the European Union and JD Vance of the US, and the Munich conference of 1938. In 1938, Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, PM of Britain, Édouard Daladier of France and Mussolini decided the fate of the then Czechoslovakian state,Continue reading “The Munich Irony”
Surviving an Abusive Country?
Most of you who have read my blogs or novels will know that I spent many years working as a prison chaplain in the US during the late 70s and early 80s. I was most affected by the three years I worked in a women’s prison in North Carolina. I would venture to say thatContinue reading “Surviving an Abusive Country?”
America’s Whitemare
Continuing the theme of “nightmare” from my last blog, today I turn to the core issue: race. But it is not just a matter of skin colour; no, America’s nightmare is a toxic mixture of race theory wedded to an unconstitutional view of religion seasoned with a bastardized version of Jesus. This is the WhitemareContinue reading “America’s Whitemare”
The Nightmare Begins
One month after Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany (January 1933) there was a fire in the Reichstag building (probably started by the Nazis), the home of the German Parliament. This led to the “Enabling Act for the Protection of People and State.” It was, in effect, a “declaration of national emergency” such as TrumpContinue reading “The Nightmare Begins”
Who Do You KNOW You Are?
My wife and I live on a small farm amidst larger farms in Basse Normandie. We grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as keep goats and chickens. Several months ago I wrote a blog entitled “East of Eden”, in which I stated that animals metaphorically live in the biblical Eden, as theyContinue reading “Who Do You KNOW You Are?”
Release All Felons from American Prisons
I spent a fair number of years working as a chaplain inside American prisons of all security grades–including death row. I worked in both men’s and women’s prisons, in the American South and the Midwest. I had a front-row seat to witness the gross injustice of the state and federal “justice system.” In fact, itContinue reading “Release All Felons from American Prisons”
The Demon in Democracy
Even the basic student of history knows that democracy has one internal flaw: It can be voted out of existence. In early 1933, Hitler’s National Socialists (Nazis) were legally and democratically elected. That was Germany’s last election for 16 years. During the interim, the nazis brought about the cataclysmic Second World War, including the destructionContinue reading “The Demon in Democracy”
