Terrorist supporter, freedom's parasite and anti-American anarchist Ward Churchill gave an interview to the Brooklyn-based "Satya" magazine. Here are some excerpts:
**************************************************************
This issue of Satya is trying to push the debate about whether or not violence is an appropriate means for a desired end. With animal activists, there’s a growing gap between people who feel it’s not and others who feel that, for example, breaking into laboratories to liberate animals or burning down property is an effective way to stop abuse.
Well, that’s an absurd framing in my view. Defining violence in terms of property—that basically nullifies the whole notion that life is sacred. People who want to elevate property to the same level of importance as life are so absurd as to be self-nullifying.
.............
That brings me to one question, which is, in general, people like to think they’re pretty decent. They don’t like to think of themselves as violent or complying with a system that is oppressive...
Heinrich Himmler viewed himself in exactly that way. He was a family man, he had high moral values, he’d met his responsibilities, blah, blah, blah—a good and decent man in his own mind.
Do you think that applies to most American people?
In the sense that it applied to most Germans [during the Third Reich].
..............
So if it takes eradication of the beast from within, how would you see that happening?
Well, first the withdrawal of consent, people imbued with consciousness to withdraw altogether from an embrace of the state.
If I defined the state as being the problem, just what happens to the state? I’ve never fashioned myself to be a revolutionary, but it’s part and parcel of what I’m talking about. You can create through consciousness a situation of flux, perhaps, in which something better can replace it. In instability there’s potential. That’s about as far as I go with revolutionary consciousness. I’m actually a de-evolutionary. I don’t want other people in charge of the apparatus of the state as the outcome of a socially transformative process that replicates oppression. I want the state gone: transform the situation to U.S. out of North America. U.S. off the planet. Out of existence altogether.
So how else do you define treason?
This guy is a nut!
Agreed. But you know...all these people on the left think they would be better off with people like that in charge. They think they would be part of a government like that. An insider. What they don't realize is that if they lived with murderers like that, they would be DEAD.
Hmmmmm? Then what is his rationale for living in the USA - if he finds it so abysmal ..??
I think he SHOULD BE DEPORTED - TO ANYWHERE!
Well his essay was basically ignored for over three years!!
Personally I don't want him fired. I want to know where these idiots are and what they say. That way you can keep an eye on them.
Aha. finally you realize this. He is not going anywhere.
Yeah.......let's just ignore the ravings of the likes of Chomsky,Sharpton,etc.;they'll just go away. NOT!
Once agaib, Why do you elevate this nobody to such a level of celebrity he does not deserve?
The most important thing is to END THE TENURE SYSTEM altogether.
Can someone put him in a devo hat, Please?
[i] The potential here to bring a spotlight to the bogus academics... [/i]
I second that. I bet there are more than few Ward Churchill's in academia surviving on the on the taxpayer's dole, biting the hand that feeds them. Expose them and bring back decency and common sense to our universities.
In the first place, Himmler was not a family man. He hadn't
seen his wife in years and he had a mistress. In the second
place these comments are sedition!

OOOH....a Communist with a beret and an AK-47, now that's really scary!!! We've certainly never had to deal with that before, now have we?
Hell, any 19-year old GI or Marine would make short work of his candyass.
Note to Ward: Ask your favorite leftist icon, Che` Guevara how that whole "populist revolutionary" thing worked out for him.
Oh yeah...you can't, he's still dead.
It does probably get him laid by the furry-legged radical hippy chicks on campus though, and that's probably his real motivation anyway.
He wouldn't make a good companion on the space station.
He would, however, make a good bumper for the station next time a supply ship docks to make deliveries.
But obviously,YOU don't know that tenure doesn't mean he can't be fired.Tenure or no,there are standard clauses in ALL contracts,which permit dismissal for certain reasons and fraud is one of them.
I want Ward Churchill off the planet! out of existance all together!
It's still not too late to send him to North Korea.
I can't beleive this person is still on salary at all! It's an absolute outrage, and now he's advocating violenece?!How can you be so sure he will be fired within a month? Aren't Universitys afraid of lawsuits, that this guy is sure to file if he does get fired?
