Wisconsin Recall Elections: Are the 20 Year-old Methods of Ralph Reed and the Christian Coalition Coming to Fruition?

Mon. Jun. 11th, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

It (the Christian Coalitions political agenda) is like guerrilla warfare. If you reveal your location, all it does is allow your opponent to improve his artillery bearings. Its better to move quietly, with stealth, under cover of night. Youve got two choices: You can wear camies and shimmy along on your belly, or you can put on a red coat and stand up for everyone to see. It comes down to whether you want to be the British army in the Revolutionary War or the Viet Cong. History tells us which tactic was more effective. -- Ralph Reed, (Los Angeles Times - 3-22-92)

The People Dont Want War And Why Real Patriots Should Listen to Hermann Goerings Last Words

Fri. Jun. 15th, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

Why of course the people dont want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people dont want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Clarence Jordan, Conscientious Objector to War and Killing: More Lessons From the History of American Fascism, Racism, Militarism, and Economic Oppression

Fri. Jun. 22nd, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

This year, 2012, would have been the 100th birthday anniversaries of Koinonia Farms courageous founder Clarence Jordan and his equally courageous life partner and wife Florence. Koinonia Farm, founded in 1942, is 70 years old this year. Koinonia was an innovative interracial farming commune that was set up according to the New Testament model of the pacifist, socialist early Christian communities formed in the first generation CE, based on the ethical values of Jesus of Nazareth. Those communities were described in the Acts of the Apostles. Jordan often referred to Acts 2:44 as his inspiration in establishing Koinonia Farm. The passage says, And all that believed were together, and had all things in common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Anti-Tyranny Quotes for These Times Historical Quotes of Wisdom - Compiled by Gary G. Kohls, MD

Fri. Jul. 6th, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

I recently came upon a quote from Henry David Thoreau, who many regard as the father of nonviolent civil disobedience. Thoreaus writings on the subject of active, nonviolent resistance to authority inspired Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King and innumerable other proponents of non-violent resistance to tyranny, including todays Occupy Wall Street movement.

Behind every great fortune, there is a crime. Honore de Balzac For this weeks Duty to Warn column, I simply offer the lyrics from two related songs from the little-known anti-war, anti-fascist, anti-predatory capitalist protest CD If All the Land Would Rise.

What were the brain-altering psych drugs that the Batman Shooter might have been taking or withdrawing from? Part Two

Dramatic and recurring mass shootings seem to be a peculiarly American phenomenon, given the fact that every other nation that experiences such shootings appropriately passes legislation that effectively prevents repeat atrocities. Not in America, however, thanks to the National Rifle Association and the numerous well-paid weapons manufacturing lobbyists who threaten into silence and inaction most of our elected officials in DC, both Republican and Democrat, who cant seem to resist taking the bribes.

Hiroshima and The Glorification of American Militarism

Thu. Aug. 16th, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

Last week was the 67th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the whole truth of which has been heavily censored and mythologized, starting with the news of the event that created understandable joy because of the end of that awful war.
