[news] The Creator Vs. Canadian Imperialism: Exercise Narwhal, Gunboat Diplomacy, and Oil

[Resist!ca]

by Macdonald Stainsby | September 20, 2004 | Swans Before the Republican Guard vanished on the outskirts of Baghdad in early April 2003, the US invasion had run into two major stumbling blocks in its advance on the Iraqi capital: guerrilla resistance and major sandstorms... At the time, with many of us hoping that this attempt to colonize Iraq would fail, I heard one friend remark "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is Great!") in reference to the possibility that this unexpected supernatural intervention was divined. Perhaps the Creator-- as the indigenous refer to it in the Arctic -- is trying to prevent an ecocidal and genocidal colonization that is happening, with next to no fanfare, right now.
