The Black Lantern


You might be under the impression that this is no longer timely, but George Bush still doesn't care about Black People.

Or the climate changes that aided in the devastation of New Orleans:
[New York Times Link] The top climate scientist at NASA says the Bush administration has tried to stop him from speaking out since he gave a lecture last month calling for prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases linked to global warming [...] Dr. [James] Hansen said he would ignore the restrictions. "They feel their job is to be this censor of information going out to the public," he said.

Apparently, the Administration isn't worried much about university level education, either:

"American Historical Association expresses concern about denial of visa to Georgetown University PhD from Bolivia" (2/19)
This being Dr. Waskar Ari, an "indigenous person," who was supposed to take a post in Ethnic Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is considered to be a potential security concern. This is a guy who is criticized in certain circles as being too pro-American,

Same thing happened to this appointed Harvard Professor, Sandinista, and former Nicaraguan Minister of Health, Dora Maria Tellez: "US Denies Visa To "Terrorist" Nicaraguan Professor"

Next they'll be trying to exile MIT Prof. (and my future husband), Noam Chomsky. I forced him over to the left side, where he belongs.


The truth is out there, you just can't study it.
