Originally published in the The Jerusalem Post, Friday, November 25, 1983, it takes a look at non-violence activist, Mubarak Awad, and his ongoing effort to encourage Palestinians, Muslim and Christian alike, to follow in the footsteps of Great Spirits facing violent opposition of mediocre minds. The influence of Gene Sharp’s The Politics of Non-Violence is noted. Here’s the link:

An update from Wikipedia is appended to the article. It is hoped that the 12-page pamphlet mentioned in the article will be added to TMH in the near term.

Update (12 Sept 2007): The pamphlet has been acquired and now resides here.

A bit of hair-raising exposition by the late James J. Martin on how things aren’t as they seem or are portrayed in officially sanctioned historical narratives.

This eye-opening piece is not the usual fare one expects in English language wartime cuisine.

This originally appeared in his second collection of essays in inconvenient history, The Saga of Hog Island, published in 1977. This has been on the to-do list for years, but remains more timely than ever, I’m afraid.

  • German White Paper, full text of the Polish documents issued by the Berlin Foreign Office, with a foreword by C. Hartley Grattan

A very important insight into the developments preceding the onset of formal hostilities in 1939.

The links will eventually end up in the Anti-War Propaganda section.

More to come in the same section. War is, after all, being exploited anew in these most unpleasant of times.

We set up an .htaccess file to redirect all links to the former domain to the new one. Which meant keeping the blancmange.net domain for a while, at least. May use it for something more interesting, down the road a short piece.

Most everything was transferred to the new domain, but there remain odd bits of little importance to the site yet to be uploaded or revised.

There are numerous new articles and books in the queue eventually to be added to the site. But things move more slowly these days than in the past. We would list them here, but that would then force us to do something about them. So, we’ll just leave it at that.

Consideration was given to redesign of the site, but that impulse quickly passed. It shall remain in its current state for the foreseeable future.
