QUAND LE NEGATIONISME TUE À PETIT FEU

otabenga1 — Fri, 06 May 2011 08:22:19 -0600

L’histoire du développement guerrier et pacifique du nucléaire, surtout depuis Hiroshima/Nagasaki, dérange les consciences. Cette histoire de cloisonnement ou de confinement n’est pas particulière au nucléaire. Tout comme pour l’histoire du capitalisme, le mot d’ordre semble être qu’il ne faut pas s’inquiéter et que tout ira bien pour le meilleur des mondes. Avec le 25ème anniversaire de Tchernobyl, et les informations accumulées depuis cette catastrophe, il est permis de questionner cette manière idyllique de conter l’histoire. read more »

Pour que les fabricants
De Guantanamo
Apprennent
A défabriquer
Guantanamo

Toujours Guantanamo
Toujours maîtriser tout
Toujours maîtriser le futur
Maîtriser
l’espace, le temps, le passé, le présent,

en somme, ces liquidateurs de l’humanité
pourfendeurs déguisés
de la terreur

En finir avec l’histoire
Avec l’homme
Avec la femme
Avec les enfants
Avec les émigrés

Haiti, Aristide, Fanmi Lavalass: Being a call to reclaim history, humanity, Africa, the commons

otabenga1 — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 09:06:27 -0600

Haiti, Aristide, Fanmi Lavalass:
Being a call to reclaim history, humanity, Africa, the commons.

A call to foes
who plug their ears hoping
not to hear their conscience’s call
for fidelity
solidarity
with Haiti

A call to friends
Wringing their hands
Waiting to follow the brave
Sufficiently outraged
To risk everything
To make humanity
one
healed
in Haiti

A call to those
In between, soooo
Comfortable on the fence
Looking at suffering
Enjoying the spectacle
Of a family seeking
to reconnect with
all of its members
from South Africa
to Haiti read more »

Une lettre ouverte
Aux gens de partout, aux dirigeants de la planète, aux dirigeants de l’Afrique,
À celles et à ceux qui sentent

avec Mai 1968, et, efficacité
exige, avec ce qui reste de 1789,
dans la France qui s’appelle
liberté, égalité, fraternité

Pour que cesse
La punition
Sans fin des Africains,

Haiti: O Terremoto Como uma Evidência da Hipocrisia da Desfarsatez Mundial -- 1º Parte

otabenga1 — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:53:41 -0700

Este acontecimento está servindo para demonstrar a hipocrisia e a desfaçatez de muitos daqueles – países e indivíduos - que agora procuraram desencarregar suas consciências enviando “ajuda humanitária” para as vítimas haitianas. read more »

Dear All,
I just returned from the culte d'action de grace for Haiti at the Centre Kimbanguiste (at Force Publique et Sao, commune de Kasa Vubu) in Kinshasa. It was very moving. First, the crowd was immense, mostly women as is often the case (it was the women who had the courage to go first to Jesus's tomb). read more »
