SEMANTIC GAMES DO NOT MAKE CHANGE. What a person stands for, acts for, works toward, and feeds is what and who they are.

Yes.

News With Nezua | War By Other Means

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

THE LONG WAR. The Longest War the USA has been engaged in is not with Afghanistan. It is with Truth. It is against Truth. It is the war for White Supremacy, and it takes many shapes over time and yet never owns up to its own name: War. Waged by other means.

News With Nezua | Puppets and Pawns

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

ARIZONA GOVERNOR JAN BREWER is desperately swinging back at the national boycotts and global condemnation demanding a repeal of Arizona’s SB 1070 (“Pro-Racial Profiling Law”).
