"You've got to believe me. Goebbels said you have to lie and I have no connection to him like I have no connection to Charlie Kirk's death, who I have named my best friend after his death, who I invited to Israel before his death, and who I know he would have loved to come and kiss the wall."

Your organisation's name is about turning things to the right yet your head turns left.

Ironic.

“Who planted t*rrorism in our area? Some came and took our land, forced us to leave, forced us to live in camps. I think this is t*rrorism. Using means to resist this t*rrorism and stop its effects — this is called struggle.”

Without seeking truth from facts, any fool can create myths and invent your reality. Know your history, cherish the memory that is preserved so you and others can see through the lies.

Z*onist Europeans are attacked for being Jewish as much as European settlers in Africa were attacked for being Christian. Religion had been used as a mantra for cognitive dissonance to try give colonialism a human face.

Images can include pictures of the audiences at his lectures, or the venues in general, pictures of his glasses, people who were close to him in the struggle, and pictures of Dr. Parenti, of course. We want the touch of the people who were close by to him in the work. [3/3]

On that note, we have a lot of followers that were close to Dr. Parenti, or had some relation, we are looking for archival/documentary imagery that you might be able to link in the comments to be selected to appear in the book. [2/3]

One by one
We are being wiped off the face of this earth
At an extremely alarming rate
And even more alarming is the fact
That we are not fighting back
~Tupac Shakur, Words of Wisdom

Israel exercises a most impressive influence over US policy in the region, an influence that extends into Congress, the State Department, and the White House itself, regardless of which party is in charge.

Social democracy turning in gains from polarization and winning elections will only pass the power from the wolf to the wolf in sheep's clothing. They killed Rosa, and they'll stab you in the back, too.
