Article 6: Transforming America & the World: Shahid Bolsen
This is a video of commentary by Shahid Bolsen during a discussion of the groupings around him regarding the US and Israel’s genocide in Gaza (and growing to the region.) We will leave Erdogan outside of this discussion as this is a discussion by itself.
These groupings have pulled together a Change.org petition to remove the US (and Israel) from the United Nations. Whilst I consider that this won’t happen, it is more pressure on these two entities, that want to own the world with impunity.
I do understand that many of our readers here are not fans of Shahid Bolsen, and that is fine as we try to be open to most views. Yet, in the war of today, we need to make friends across all the resistance and anti-imperialist groups. We don’t need to get married to one another. Shahid is a Muslim, and he speaks from that perspective. In this ethos, the faith gives them a moral foundation to stand on as a guide.
What is true however, is that we have to bond together, as we are in one major struggle to free our world from hegemonic attack. May it be so that we have deep wisdom to allow ‘the other fellow’ to find the morality that strengthens them. And may we have wisdom not to start attacking one another, as we see now in Syria.
When it was only Gaza under brutal attack, I did not notice much sectarian infighting (besides the Zionist Christians). When Syria fell, the sectarian infighting became part and parcel of ‘creating a new Syria’, and it is again brutal. It is part of the chaos strategy that we now see playing out. As the majority in the world today, we need to stop doing that! We need to stop supplying the hegemon food for its destabilization and destruction through mining the differences among us. For once we have to stand together.
I noted the first comment on Youtube. It states: “I’m not Muslim but I always make it a point to tap into the wealth of knowledge from this channel. Bless.” So, if you like him, enjoy. If you don’t like him, ignore. In the end analysis we have to stand together.
This is Article 6
A Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
Expelling the Americans out of the United Nations is only the start. The Americans and their allies from Europe to the Middle East to Asia should all be put on trial for their serial war crimes in a new Nuremberg Tribunal. This new Nuremberg should not be staged by the… Read more »
Apartheid followed on seamlessly from over 300 years of western white aggression, its not as simple as 30 years. And its not that i am condoning violence or oppression of anyone. I’m not saying whites should leave, Im just countering the presumptions that are always laid on indigenous people to… Read more »
Hi K
I’ll respond to you but over in the Africa thread in the Hearty Salon as I feel this thread is somewhat confused now.
I got over his theatrical sermon like style of delivery, and when he dropped his very obvious bias to Saudi Arabia i think it was, he is ok to watch every now and then. And i think this is a very good movement, even though it wont work, same as… Read more »
I’ve followed this train of thought of his for a year now. It is laudable. Within the strict limits where all respect the same fair law. Otherwise it is a time waster which will prolong assumed western impunity and our collective agony. The issue is means. Do we have the… Read more »
I still follow Lavrov here. And in reality, the UN under the Charter is still the cradle of international law. And with that, we are still fighting the rules based international order. The UN knows .. the General Assembly votes correctly, the most of them, with only a few not… Read more »
Well said! One must always fight for the law I suppose, even with the manifest devils. And it does have the salient benefit of exposing and delegitimizing them further. It will gather further recruits to BRICS as all peoples will see what shameless crooks they are. So this forces them… Read more »
I understand very well what you indicate to stand strong together against the demonic hegemon. At the same time, we do have mutual differences that will inevitably surface when one devil is defeated and a next one emerges. For example, look at what happened in South Africa after the expulsion… Read more »
For the record, I fully agree with Shahid Bolsen here and have also just signed the petition. Hopefully many people will have the courage to take a civilized stand publicly.
You are totally right Nico and thank you for persisting with the point: The ego mind (alone) and its one sided ideologies cannot escape entrapment in false dichotomies. For this reason struggle against empire must include transcending the limitations of ego mind. For this I find guidance and strength in… Read more »
South Africa was brutally colonised in 1650 and apartheid ended officially (but not really) in 1994. So what you are calling reverse discrimination might simply be the time that is needed to heal the collective cultural wounds. 30 years since apartheid compared to to 340 years of violent oppression should… Read more »
I understand your point K and I agree with that as well. At the same time, it proves my point, that we can only move a step forward if we become more conscious and then enter into a true dialogue. Emotions and hatred are understandable to still primitive man, but… Read more »
What do we even know about “thousands of years before?” From what I have read, our knowledge of what happened over a few hundred years before the 1400s was supposedly rediscovered and pieced back together from monks using scrolls in basements and attics of buildings and artifacts dug up from… Read more »
I do like Fomenko but in small doses. I sweated my way through books 1, 2, and 3 and stopped there—I surely knew enough, lol. I could not bear to work through to book 7. The scholars hate him! The church is even worse. Pseudo everything they say.

As far as I know, he has little to say about North America and U.$. history. I found a downloadable PDF version of USA has Issues with Maps of the 18th Century apparently about six years ago. The “evidence” pointed to leaves much to be desired and really (as far… Read more »
Fwiw I have the Trojan war right before Homer composed their masterpieces of star knowledge, so I’m guessing they were the Trojan druid priesthood in bondage. Akhenaten = Oedipus hostage Prince returned home imposing the alien religion of his childhood onto his now subjects. His son Tut was his half… Read more »
K, the state is the biggest landowner in South Africa. Racist laws were inculcated in 1948. Group Areas act promulgated in 1950 and repealed in 1991. Change your timings. They have a white town because racial laws (post apartheid laws) exclude them from the workplace, from having a political voice… Read more »
Was it really their ancestral land, I don’t know much about the history thereabout but do have some unanswered questions about it. How come they almost all speak west African languages, did the bushmen emerge into empty southlands unopposed from a pygmy population of the central forest, since it has… Read more »
Wise words Amarynth … Blessings on you and yours.
