The Word: What Is Repressed Will Have Its Revenge

I take a trip down Memory Lane with Sarah, who recalls her idyllic childhood visits to her Grandparent's English farm. She muses on the visceral sensory memories she still has. She also worries about the future. The farm may pass out of the family.....for good. 

Join us for this touching story :)

Memory Lane - Sarah

Annika & I have a wonderful conversation that begins with the topic of television, and specifically new entries for 2014. We begin debating Lindsay Lohan's new show on OWN and somehow that leads us to a discussion of art. What is art? Are Reality Shows art? Annika says it's all "bullshit", but (of course) I argue for a more forgiving view.

Also, Annika brings her latest angle, and the headlines appear at the top of the hour.

Join us!

Note!- For about the first 2 minutes of the programme Rosemary Clooney drowns me out. I have re-posted this multiple times and their seems to be nothing I can do. Sorry!

The Word: Is "Lindsay" Art?

This is part one of our special Series On Apartheid. As the leaders of the various anti-Apartheid movements pass away, we take the time to look back at one of the most interesting and unusual periods in Human History. 

In part one, we trace the origins of the Apartheid system back 1400's HRE, when Roman legal concepts entered the Low Countries. We then continue through the colonization of the Cape Colony by Dutch, French, and finally British forces. I discuss the various independent Boer republics, and how these efforts were extinguished by the most powerful empire in the world. 

Finally, I explore how the repression of the Boer people could have laid the groundwork for the Apartheid racial ideology that would emerge more than 40 years after the last Afrikaaner state was conquered.

Let's Learn Together!

The Word: Series On Apartheid 1

In this compilation that celebrates the first year of public affairs programme "The Word," I revisit the guests, stories, and conversations that have defined 2013 and 2014.

In 2013, I took the leap and decided to initiate a project that I thought about for quite a few years. I took a passion for information, a life's mission to educate, and a well-developed ideology to give birth to "The Word". I hope that every person who has come into contact with this conversation has loved, and most of all, learned from it.

If it's not reaching, it's not teaching, and I thank the Universe that I still am able to continue these projects.

Here's to another year of "The Word"

Celebrating One Year Of The World!

My musings on an infomercial I saw earlier this selling 1970's musick on CD's. Because this is one area I can speak on fairly well, & am especially familiar with the 1970's, I could pick up on several distortions. You may be surprised as to what was going on behind-the-scenes while you were enjoying 70's musick.

Jakob Musick's Audio Blog -- 'If It Was Good, It Was On The Radio'

In this editorial, I discuss the Jewish State, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, & recent developments from the region. I, & many others, would argue that the modern state of Israel constitutes an Apartheid regime in its dealings, colonization, & isolation of the Palestinian Arabs. Like its old ally, the Union of South Afrika, Israel is attempting to neutralize its dangerous minority populations by crafting reservations & delineating citizenship laws that exclude the majority. 

In the wake of the Israeli cabinet's deceleration of Israel as the "Nation-State of the Jewish People," and the concept's addition to the nation's Basic Law, the discussion surrounding the seemingly never-ending Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues. While the fortunes of Israeli Jews seems to rise & fall, the lot of the Palestinians, Arabs, & Muslims has continually gotten worse since 1945. I expect an unfortunate increase in violence toward the end of 2014, and the beginning of the New Year, as the 3rd Intifada accelerates.

*Please pardon the sometimes-awful sound quality of  my voice in this recording. We encountered several 'technical difficulties' Thank you*

Romance-Adventure author CK Brooke once again gives me the pleasure of interviewing her, coinciding this time with the release of her 2nd official publication: "The Duchess Inheritance"! The main characters from the last book are all here, continuuing their quest to restore the Ancien Régime of Jordinia. 

We discuss several features of the new book, which includes topography, new locations, new characters (including one I am absolutely enthralled with), language, religious systems, psychological motivations and other wonderful features of this exciting story. 

CK Brooke continuues to develop her career as she finishes the Jordinia duology. 

The Word: CK Brooke II (The Duchess Inheritance)

Saffiya joins me to discuss a unique topic in the history of Abrahamic exegesis today -- The concept of 'hell'. Contrary to what contemporary Fundamentalist Evangelical Protestants and other Christians may believe today, what we think of as 'hell' is not a Christian concept at all. In truth, it appears to derive from the East, not the holy lands of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. We trace the importation of the 'hell' concept from Zoroastrianism, but also discuss the fact that 'hell' is a real, visible place on earth....and it looks nothing like what you have been told.

Saffiya Reveals Hell Is A Place On Earth

PressTV's Caleb Maupin joins me on The Word to discuss the renewed push for violent conflict between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

The jump-off point for our discussion is a segment on the FOX Business show "After The Bell," where several ideological statements were made regarding the Islamic Republic. One of the guests on the segment was from the influential Neo-Conservative thinktank The Institute For The Study Of War. 

Of course, as Mr. Maupin points out, the ISW is just "one of many," and there is a whole cottage industry devoted to this type of activity, serving to create the justification for war. 

Why does the American elite want war with Iran? And why now? Does it have anything to do with recent diplomatic maneuvers between the 2 countries? Mr. Maupin shares his insight on these topics, as well as others in this illuminating discussion.

Saffiyya joins me yet again, and instructs on the latest installment of her new series! Continuing the story of Homosexuality and the Abrahamic faiths, she delves into early Christian canonical, and non-canonical texts. She explains why Martin Luther left out the book of Maccabees, while it was retained the Catholic Bible. How did the Maccabees, pre-modern Jewish fundamentalist zealots, become symbols of anti-homosexuality while never writing a single word on it? Also, what do the Romans have to do with our current views of masculinity & homosexuality? Saffiyya explains it all!

The history of homosexuality in religion continues!
