21st Century Socialism

If you are pushing, you are going to find out new things. The Communist University always checks out Counterpunch, and sometimes checks the sources that Counterpunch often gives as links. Hence, while downloading the article (see link below) by Uri Cohen on the situation of Palestine in the time of King Herod, we reached the new site called 21st Century Socialism. The article says plenty about the last 500 years of the Old Testament period, which other studies will confirm is indeed, as Cohen says, the time when the scriptures were written and therefore the time when the religion was re-invented in the form of the Jehovist sects that existed at the time of Christ, and were dispersed not long afterwards, as Cohen relates. Another piece of reading that is good if you can get it is The Tribes of Yahweh by Norman K Gottwald, originally published in 1979. Gottwald locates the revolutionary origins of these “tribes” in 1250 – 1050 BC. They were defined not as a race but as an African liberation movement, against the Pharoah. Yahweh was at that stage neither a God nor a demon, and nothing like the later Jehovah, but was rather a token of no God – or in other words, of secular humanism. So it is that the oppressors do always try to expropriate the rich mine of the people’s history, and to thereby reverse things to their advantage. Another example is the current US meddling in Somalia. Justin Raimondo is a good peace writer. The article linked below comes from his site, Antiwar.com. The US have re-installed the warlords who used to be their demons and their enemies. We will come back to why they would do so, tomorrow, using another article from 21st Century Socialism. Counterpunch continues to push the case against the anti-Cuban terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. See the link below. This article makes the case very plain. The book The Google Story is not very good, as a book. It is business-oriented. One useful pointer it does contain is to the last item linked below which is a one-page sheet of searching tips and links to Google services.
