I write this with a broken heart and a wounded spirit. I have always been aware of the evil that humans inflict upon each other. As an African-American lesbian, my life is a trilogy of the terror of racism, sexism, and homohatred. Terror is, as all things, relative.
I cannot begin to even imagine the terror of those who perished in the shocking murders that took place on September 11, 2001...I know that we live in an increasingly violent and global world. Global villagers must endure global ills. The new millennium has ushered in a new breed of global evil (See "Amerikkka: Race-ing into the Millennium" herein.) That evil exploded on 9-11. Thousands were slaughtered. Millions more will suffer financially and emotionally. My own new career as an airline employee was swiftly aborted by the fallout of these tragedies.
I mourn for the innocent Americans slain on September 11. I also mourn for the US soldiers who enlisted due to poverty, who must now die for their incomes. I especially mourn those who are African-American, who will habitually die on the front lines of a war waged by a racist country.
At 38 years old, these acts of war are the worst that I have personally witnessed. Yet, historically, they are hauntingly familiar. These acts of war remind me of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the COINTELPRO slaughters of the Black Panthers. The similarities and ironies are glaringly evident.(See more on the Black Panthers herein.)
Racist Americans are already condemning, slandering, and harassing everyone who is Muslim... Just as Asian-Americans were banished to internment camps, many Muslims have been illegally detained in prisons. Did anyone call for the imprisonment of all young white men when Timothy McVeigh bombed the federal building in Oklahoma? Does anyone call for the deaths of all police officers each time a brutal and racist cop publicly executes a black man? Why are exclusively nonwhite persons judged by the least among them?
America acts as a self proclaimed and selective police of the world. One cannot police the globe and be untouched by global criminals. One cannot support international thugs and be unscathed by international thuggery.
Clearly, these murderous attacks in New York and Washington were committed by very organized and efficient mad men. They were not committed by the country of Afghanistan. How can US officials dare to destroy an entire country for what a few hateful fools have done? The US has assassinated heroes, warriors, and even presidents far more strategically. The Black Panthers were peaceful activists who defied sadistic cops by carrying guns in self defense. The most radical crimes the Panthers ever committed were feeding hungry children breakfasts. Still, Panthers were swiftly slaughtered by American J. Edgar Hoover’s COINTELPRO forces. However, entire ghettos were never bombed as they smoked out the Panthers. Is Osama Bin Ladin somehow superhuman? Why is he more elusive than any other human anywhere?
The US’s superior ability to frame, slander, and libel did not begin or end with Hoover’s obsessive destruction of the Black Panthers. Are we to trust a selected President, whose evil we know well, any more than strangers in turbans? Where is the proof that Bin Laden is guilty? Bin Laden was trained by the CIA. What severed this militaristic bond? Martin Luther King was constantly harassed and slandered via videotaped fabrications. How can we know that the same is not being done to Bin Laden?
Karma is a universal reality. I ponder the karmic debts of the evil superpower that is Amerikkka. I contemplate the rage of suicidal foreign men who were consumed by hatred for Amerikkka. I am reminded that Colin (Colon) Powell dared to disrespect an international conference on racism. How many similar acts of flagrant hypocrisy and contempt have helped to create the global hatreds that breed such violence?
How much hatred can be contained before it erupts? How many more eruptions loom? How many more karmic debts linger for Vietnam, Panama, Africa, Indonesia, Haiti, Grenada, the CIA selling crack in African-American neighborhoods, LSD, Agent Orange, elitism, fascism, the ongoing African holocaust of slavery, the biowarfare of AIDS etc...?(See more on AIDS and the New World Order herein.)
I have no love for the Taliban. They appear to be insane, sexist, and psychotic. But, the same could be said for our selected commander in chief. Afghanistan’s people loathe the Taliban. They are abused by its regime daily. Why should they die for the sins of their own abusers? What kind of man would order their deaths to win blindly patriotic favor?
I refuse to hate an entire religion or country because a few demonic murderers happen to be members of both. Americans Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson may be even more demonic than those foreign murderers. I do not hate Christianity or America because of these twin idiots. Islamic terrorists do not host media empires and recruit legions of haters via cable television. Typically, Robertson and Falwell ludicrously blamed homosexuals for the September 11th attacks. I am convinced that if homosexuals owned an airline, or any edifices like the Twin Towers or the Pentagon, these rabid pseudochristian fools would gladly give their lives to execute the same type of terrorist plots. Quasi-illiterate, bible toting, blasphemous morons terrorize the spirits, hearts, and minds of homosexuals daily. Just as assuredly as the hijackers felt their mass murders were divine and godly acts, so do pseudochristian gaybashers believe their repulsive antics are the will of God.
Ironically, one of the heros of these tragedies was passenger Mark Bingham. Mark Bingham was a homosexual. Like lack of freedom and ignorance, hatred is contagious. Unlike demented pseudochristians and their rabidly homohating ilk, real Christians truly embrace the best of humanity in the worst of times. We are aware that the hijackers, who used planes to torch Americans, made no distinctions of race or sexuality. As they pleased their God, they could not have cared less about which American corpse was heterosexual or homosexual, black or white, Republikkkan or Democrat. Profoundly, they unified us all in death in a way that we can never seem to master in life...
Security measures must be increased everywhere. As global villagers, we must maintain the same level of security that other countries do. It is the price we pay for freedom and mobility. Officials in airports must watch all passengers the way that African-Americans are watched in department stores. US officials must process all immigrants as strictly as they do Haitians and Cubans.
We are perilously close to that third World War that the gifted French clairvoyant Nostradamus predicted. In fact, we are late. He predicted that it would be waged in 1999. He prophesied that it would be a global war of race and class. These recent heinous acts evince a belated war that will be like no other. The violence will continue to be faceless and fanatical, bloody and brazen, shocking and shameful. It will include chemical, biological, and even nuclear warfare. Millions more will die...
Tomorrow has never been promised to anyone. Cherish today. Question the New World Order and its newly ruthless global governments. See the similarities in the lives of your fellow global villagers. Share their pain as you fight the same oppressors. Resist the foolishness of blind patriotism. Love everything conditionally, including America. Until justice and peace are global realities, global wars will rage on...Bob Marley and Eddy Grant sang truths:
