Dälek - Blessed Are They Who Bash Your Children's Heads Against a Rock

What Malcolm X said when he got silenced by Elijah Mohammed was in fact true, America’s chickens…are coming home to roost.

We took this country by terror, away from the Sioux, the Apache, the Arowak, the Comanche, the Arapahoe, the Navajo.

Terrorism.

We took Africans from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear.

Terrorism.

We bombed Granada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel.

We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenagers and toddlers, pregnant mothers, and hardworking fathers.

We bombed Qaddafi’s home and killed his child.
Blessed are they who bash your children’s head against a rock.

We bombed Iraq.

We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living.

We bombed a plant in Sudan to payback for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hardworking people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they would never get back home.

We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye.

Europeana: think culture

“Europeana.eu is about ideas and inspiration. It links you to 2 million digital items.

Images - paintings, drawings, maps, photos and pictures of museum objects
Texts - books, newspapers, letters, diaries and archival papers
Sounds - music and spoken word from cylinders, tapes, discs and radio broadcasts
Videos - films, newsreels and TV broadcasts

Some of these are world famous, others are hidden treasures from Europe’s

museums and galleries
archives
libraries
audio-visual collections

Here is a list of the organisations that our content comes from. They include the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the British Library in London and the Louvre in Paris.”

This looks like a pretty brilliant idea. It opened last November but crashed like a friend at the Festival when ten million people an hour tried to visit it! The beta version is now tentatively open. Hooray for digital resources!
