"Some People Push Back" On the Justice of Roosting Chickens written by Ward Churchill 9-11-2001

There is simply no argument to be made that the Pentagon personnel killed on September 11 fill that bill. The building and those inside comprised military targets, pure and simple. As to those in the World Trade Center . . . Well, really. Let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire – the "mighty engine of profit" to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved – and they did so both willingly and knowingly. Recourse to "ignorance" – a derivative, after all, of the word "ignore" – counts as less than an excuse among this relatively well-educated elite. To the extent that any of them were unaware of the costs and consequences to others of what they were involved in – and in many cases excelling at – it was because of their absolute refusal to see. More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches and stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants. If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it.

I emailed my comments to the State Of Colorado Senate and House Representatives as well as the Governor. I also included my state Governor and the President of the University I graduated from.

Due to circumstances in my life, I only attended college part-time from 1972-1992 while I worked and raised a family. I attended full-time 1993-1995 and lived on campus. A real experience being on on a liberal campus at that stage of my life! Especially when the dorm I lived in housed islamic extremists.

****Satire***** Boulder, Colorado--Controversial writer and college teacher, Ward Churchill, who has long claimed American Indian heritage, today announced that he is no longer an American Indian. Instead, says Churchill, "I am seven-sixteenths Jewish, three-sixteenths Irish, and one-sixteenth rare, endangered Siberian Tiger."

The American Indian Movement and Keetoowah Cherokee tribe have for years denied Churchill credentials as an Indian. Nonetheless, Churchill maintained he was in fact either one-sixteenth or one-fourth (depending upon the interview) American Indian.

That claim ended today. Now, Churchill has petitioned the Colorado Circuit Court's division 34 in Boulder to legally change his name to Reb Chaim McConnell.

"As an endangered specie Irish-Jew, I more fully understand the plight of exploited, downtrodden, and abused peoples. While the pain suffered by my former peoples at the hands of white settlers in North America is famous, my new Irish brothers have been the butts of European scorn for centuries, going back to Roman conquests. And don't even get me started about how the world has treated my Jewish ancestor. Oy."

US Department of Justice spokesman James Rubin said that, as a Siberian Tiger, McConnell is entitled to special protection. "The Department of Justice will work closely with Treasury Department and the Department of the Interior to ensure the soon-to-be Mr. McConnell is afforded the full protection of the law and international treaties regarding the treatment of endangered species."

Rubin went on to say that threats against Churchill's life will now be treated far more seriously. "As an Indian, Mr. Churchill was really just another citizens when it comes to threats. But as an endangered species, he will receive significantly more protection and the best veterinary care available anywhere in the world."

Mr. Churchill will begin a seven-state speaking tour to discuss his views on terrorism before joining a Siegfried and Roy reunion in Las Vegas scheduled for October.
