About Me

Jeff chairs the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. An authority on the early church and the short, arrogant life of Jesus, he has appeared on A&E, the History Channel, CNN, the Red Green Show, Cooking with Pooh, and People's Court. He has taped several highly popular lecture series for the "Teaching Company", has been director of several highly popluar "Porn with the Magdalene & Friends" videos, and is the author of "The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings" (Third Edition OUP, 637 B.C.), "Jesus, Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium" (OUP, 31 A.D.) and "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" (Meshuggah 1998). He lives with his two cats and has no cereal."We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world, a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them." -Dr. Hunter S Thompson........."I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." -- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 To call it a "war against terrorism," however, is simply more propaganda, unless the "war" really does target terrorism. But that is plainly not contemplated because Western powers could never abide by their own official definitions of the term, as in the U.S. Code* or Army manuals. To do so would at once reveal that the U.S. is a leading terrorist state, as are its clients.--------Noam Chomsky *"[An] act of terrorism means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping."--- (United States Code Congressional and Administrative News, 98th Congress, Second Session, 1984, Oct. 19, volume 2; par. 3077, 98 STAT. 2707 [West Publishing Co., 1984]) In 1986 the U.S. was CONDEMNED by the World Court for "unlawful use of force" (international terrorism against Nicaragua) and then VETOED a Security Council resolution calling on all states (meaning the U.S.) to adhere to international law. Only one of countless examples In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)Bruce Leroy. He's got it all.
