This, Hilal writes, “has allowed the War on Terror’s global military footprint to expand exponentially—rippling out from the initial conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq to touch nearly 40 percent of the entire world.”[3] The Bush Doctrine thus remains core to U.S. war making and policies for managing populations at home and across the globe.

The dominant narrative treated the United States as a White Protestant nation chosen by God to bring about the Millennial Kingdom, a destiny threatened by the iniquity, degeneracy, and crime of…

A Christian Nationalist by Any Other Name… Is Still a Christian Nationalist

By Bradley Onishi

…to the Pledge of Allegiance as president, and in 1955 was declared (by the Republican National Committee) “not only the political leader, but the spiritual leader of our times.” Now there was a real white Christian nationalist. By using the example of Eisenhower, Woodward is extending his argument. You can see him shrugging innocently before muttering: “If Eisenhower was a Christian nationalist, well then color me one too, am I right boys?” Here’s…

…verred, “is predict which individual upon hearing the rhetoric of clear or coded incitement will turn to violence.” Berlet’s essay was titled “Heroes Know Which Villains to Kill: How Coded Rhetoric Incites Scripted Violence.” Indeed, villain identification has been going on for a long time, and NAR leaders are now featuring ancient scripts for modern violence and religious war. We hear it in the form of imprecatory prayers by religious and politic…

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…enfranchised people trying to exist within an ever-expanding white settler republic. It isn’t always easy to know who to root for. Perhaps, like many African Americans, my attachment to Thanksgiving is simply residue of the relative respite that enslaved Africans gained during the holiday season from some of their labors, however minimal. According to the African-American Registry, “In October 1863, months after signing the Emancipation Proclamati…

The Death of a Black Man at the Hands of Black Officers Unveiled Something More Complex Than Whiteness

By Willie Dwayne Francois

Establishing some hallmarks of Blue privilege, the nature of Blueness in the U.S. conditions the public to normalize that cops: enact the sovereignty to determine who lives and dies; function as a judicially-protected class; employ fear as a form of social control; perpetuate the delusion of post-racialism; investigate their own alleged misconduct and criminal act…

By Nilay Saiya
