 BULLIES OF BABYLON
[col. writ. 3/7/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal

The U.S. Senate rejection of U.S. Department of Justice nominee, Debo Adegbile for the post of head of that agency’s Civil Rights Division is, more than anything, the triumph of fear and lies over reason and fact.
 Adegbile, by all accounts, is an able, skilled litigator, who had been an exemplary candidate for the post.
 But the Broad […]

 The lands we arrogantly named the Middle East (one must wonder, Middle East of what? Europe?) are in disarray and disaster today, largely because of the greed, hubris and yes, white supremacy of Europe and America.
 Iran today suffers from painful sanctions, while those who ripped Iraq apart, who drove the forces of ethnic, sectarian and religious rivalry into furies […]

Black History 1
[col. writ. 2/13/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
 Every year, Black History is celebrated, from coast-to-coast.
Great Black names are recalled, their exploits praised, and February, the shortest month, staggers to an end.
 But what shall we say today?
 A month may come and go, but for millions of young Black people, they’ll know less and less, year by year.
 That’s because they have no idea about their history, […]

There is not a politician in America who speaks of U.S. foreign affairs and policy without saying the words, “America is the indispensable nation” (including President Barack Obama).
 Implicit within these words lies the notion that the world needs America; or even, ‘The world cannot do without the United States.’
 This is not unique in world affairs.
 Centuries ago, the elites of […]

[Lecture writ. 2/11/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
 Dear fellow students;

 I thank you and your professor, Dr. Fernandez, for this brief opportunity to share some time with you, as you study what I think was a pivotal point in time for the United States:

 Reconstruction.

 Most of us spend little time and perhaps less thought on this period, for let’s face it; it’s ancient history, right?

I can hear the […]

For millions of people in America, life consists of day after day of repression, in tiny cells, under the unblinking eye of the State.

It is a cruel irony that while public discourse is thick with words like freedom and liberty, the bodies and lives of millions are trapped within a system that only knows how to humiliate and exploit […]

I have seen many State of the Union addresses over the years, events of pomp and ceremony, of glad-handling and fake smiles, from President Jimmy Carter to the present President, Barack Obama.
 The Constitution doesn’t so much require it, as it barely mentions it; in one lonely line, Article 11; Section 3 states: (The President) “shall from time to time give to the […]

Several days ago, a press report surfaced that was among the most astounding I’ve ever seen.
 The headline bore a curious equation: “85=3.5, 000,000,000.”
 At first, it made no sense until I read the body of the article. It explained, eighty-five people in the U.S. had wealth and assets equal to three and half billion people the world over.
 I had to […]
