Pre-Existing Conditions? Whose Pray Tell?

by Kwewu 5 January, 2010

Now every once in a while (regardless of my clinical and forensic psychology training and practical experiences) a news byte or two comes out of no where to (1) blind side me; and then (2) make me question whether I should be laughing or I should be hurling. Just such an instance has surfaced with [...]

by Kwewu 5 January, 2010

Reuters is reporting a number of significant developments coming out of Yemen concerning its offensive launched against al-Qaida and the U.S. Embassy in San’a reopening after a deadly raid deals with imminent threat. For more on these developments go to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34700332/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa.

Jordan Emerges as Key CIA Counterterrorism Ally

by Kwewu 4 January, 2010

A Jordanian Double-Agent?

by Kwewu 4 January, 2010

It appears that emerging evidence from the field indicates that this perpetrator of this Afghan attack was supposed to infiltrate al-Qaida. How [...]

How Does Muslim-Hindu “Punk Rock” Roll You Ask?

by Kwewu 3 January, 2010

Russell Contreras, an Associated Press reporter, wrote a piece (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34667129) on a punk rock revolutionary movement, which I might add looks to be using music maybe to grow an anti-establishment Muslim-Hindu subculture to contend with their brand of  bunker mentality “Trust Your Neighbors But Brand Your Stock.” Contreras contends that this anti-establishment subculture is “borne [...]

Silent Heroes, Mighty Patriots

by Kwewu 31 December, 2009

My thoughts, prayers and deepest gratitude go out to the 7 CIA employees killed and 6 others wounded Wednesday in a terrorist attack on an agency base in Afghanistan.

The Celebrity Year In Review

Where Is All Our Religion Going? What Must We Do To Find It Again?

by Kwewu 13 April, 2009

Somehow, somewhere in our global village, I knew this day would come. And I can’t sit here amongst you all in good faith and pretend that I am all that surprised. I too can almost anticipate your nonverbal reactions to this cynicism before your microfacial expressions confirm your responses and comments. Since I am in [...]
