28 Jul 2025
We would do well to be less defensive and go on the offense. Pleading academic freedom and denying that we’re antisemites is not going very far. We need to move in the direction of accusing the accusers. Israeli soldiers are killing babies and children, shooting boys in their testicles, torturing doctors to death.

Religions, worldviews, are at our hearts and minds. Huge depositories of the human experiences, religions are mixes of jewels of wisdom and the mud of negativism, reflecting traumas and glories at the hands of, or at the expense of, others.

Failures of “Democracy” – Avoiding Fascism through an Earth Constitution
Glen T. Martin, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Jul 2025
In the Apology, Socrates is on trial for “corrupting the youth and teaching false gods.” He was condemned to death by a mass-jury of 500 of his peers. His crime was to question fellow citizens why they spent their time seeking money, power, social status, personal pleasures, while refusing the greatest good, to care for wisdom, virtue, and the well-being of the “soul.” Plato, then 27-year-old, understood that very well.

Turning forty-six on July 29, just a few days after what would’ve been Patrice Lumumba’s 100th birthday. I’ve lived through enough history to feel the weight of his story, but standing here in 2025, it’s like I’m holding a cracked mirror—his dreams for Congo reflecting back at me.
