ward churchill, again, also Eason Jordan
It turns out that WC isn't an Indian, not even an old and ugly one. It seems he just pretended to be one to get a job and get his name on the Official Victims List, so he cold say nasty things about dead people and insult their survivors.
It would have been prudent of him to keep his mouth shut--his cushy job would have been safe. I think tenure protects him---those are the rules. Whether he could be fired for misrepresenting his ethnicity I don't know. It looks like fraud to me.
Ward Churchill strikes again: he
l says that more 9/11s may be necessary. In fact, he considers the necessity of such attacks on our homeland a "no-brainer." This is what he told a publication called Satya:
One of the things I’ve suggested is that it may be that more 9/11s are necessary. This seems like such a no-brainer that I hate to frame it in terms of actual transformation of consciousness. ‘Hey those brown-skinned folks dying in the millions in order to maintain this way of life, they can wait forever for those who purport to be the opposition here to find some personally comfortable and pure manner of affecting the kind of transformation that brings not just lethal but genocidal processes to a halt.’ They have no obligation—moral, ethical, legal or otherwise—to sit on their thumbs while the opposition here dithers about doing anything to change the system. So it’s removing the sense of—and right to—impunity from the American opposition.
But Eason Jordan--he should definitely lose his job. He doesn't have tenure, just a lying mouth.

I can't wait to hear what Jordan has to say, if he ever speaks.
Thanks for reading my blog, Miriam, and welcome to the blogosphere! Did you know I started out on Blogger? I sort of miss my old blog. :)
