The novel I Am Pol Pot is a fictional piece that looks into the mind of one of the 20th century failed Marxist. He was an excellent guerilla leader but his futuristic view of a new collectivized man was just too much for the people of Democratic Kampuchea to bear. His reliance on executions and fear made him more of a monster than a liberator. Get the inside look, at the influences which made Pol Pot the legendary man he was. Order I Am Pol Pot Today.
From Wichita Peace and Freedom Party Examiner;
Each year my family gets together as almost all families do for Thanksgiving. It’s one of those occasions when we see some relatives, (along with Christmas) only one or two times a year.
Of all the traditional holidays this is probably one of the most controversial. Vegans and animal rights organizations don’t believe in a holiday that revolves around tortured or murdered animals. Then there is the Native American Indian issue. It is a big one. Consider an article written by Mike Ely of the Kasama Project called Original Occupation: Native Blood & the Myth of Thanksgiving; “Every schoolchild in the U.S. has been taught that the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony invited the local Indians to a major harvest feast after surviving their first bitter year in New England. Here is the true story of that Thanksgiving — a story of murder and theft, of the first “corporations” invented on North American soil, of religious fundamentalism and relentless mania for money..”
The article is well documented and most of what it says is true. Other writers have also mocked the idea of Thanksgiving and accuse it of being a celebration of genocide. William S. Burroughs gave a speech critical of the unfair treatment of Indians, in A Thanksgiving Prayer. Also the holiday today is much different than the one first celebrated near Plymouth in 1621. It was a three day celebration with fish and dear. Maybe some wild turkeys were eaten, but not pumpkin pie or Cranbury sauce. It was not held on the day we now celebrate it in November, although it was held in the fall. It was not until December 26, 1941 that a unified date for the whole country, was set on the fourth Thursday (and not always final) in November—by federal legislation.
Still it’s hard to tell most of our relatives that we can’t join them for Thanksgiving because it is politically incorrect. Maybe some day we will simply say that this is a day to be thankful for the food we have and stop celebrating the Indian genocide. Until then many of us will go visit relatives, eat a big meal, some will watch football and others will get drunk. It’s hard to tell a lot of the older people they have been celebrating a bloody myth all these years. So I remind people about the true meaning of Thanksgiving—killing off Native American Indians—in my writings and I will visit my relatives and try to just keep the peace in my family.
Over the years Santa Clause has hawed about every thing a person can buy. Most items are not that unusual, but he used to hawk lots of tobacco products and Booze.
Often he sold razors or razor blades. Now he has to be politically correct. …OR ELSE!
As he sits and enjoys a smoke break on his trip around the world, Santa likes to read a few chapters from Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie! It is a tale from the 1970s including recollections of sexual experiences, drug experiences and a tale of a young man finding out what class means to him and where he fits into America’s classes.
Tiss the season to start hawking products and you can get Memoirs for a discount price at the Authors book store.
“WICHITA –The Wichita-Johnny Depp feud continues to get attention. The Atlantic Wire, an online news aggregating branch of the Atlantic magazine, reports on the battle over how intelligent Wichita moviegoers are with a story headlined “Johnny Depp Thinks He’s Too Smart for Wichita.” It all started with a Sunday story in the Guardian newspaper in Britain in which Depp, trying to defend the lackluster performance of his movie “The Rum Diary,” blames Midwest audiences such as those in Wichita for not appreciating smart movies. After Have You Heard?reported Wichitans’ reactions to Depp’s comments, the Guardian did a follow-up report on its front page on Thursday.”
It’s not hard to see why the audience in Wichita didn’t go to see this.
