“If an A-Bomb Falls” and “The H-Bomb and You”

The bonfire of the inanities
Portland Phoenix: For 2005, my annual task of reviewing the past year has been complicated by an old adage: oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Here I sit, tangled in a web that many people began weaving way back when the Gipper was protecting us against deadly pollutants released by old-growth forests. It was a jumble out there this year — one that defies linear documentation
The war on Winter Solstice
Nanovirus: For thousands of years humanity had celebrated the beginning of days getting longer in a peaceful and celebratory manner: No longer. There is a war on. Historians generally agree that the Cult of Christ started the War on Solstice. They began by coopting the symbols of this most ancient of celebrations: holly, evergreen trees and the Yule log. Those cultists even moved the date of their god’s birth from summer to winter!

Harold Pinter’s Nobel acceptance speech
Guardian Unlimited Books: “The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.”
