American Genocide: The 1830 Indian Removal Act
President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act in 1830 paved the way for post-Colonial America's heave-ho of all Indians to lands west of the Mississippi river. This act was a shockingly short-sighted measure that was, in fact, envisaged by Jackson as a "final solution". What happened next could, by international legal definition, be described fairly as genocide. So what was the rationale behind this controversial Act?

Mobsters, Gangs - The Midnight Terrors
There's an old boxing joke where a guy says, "Hey, you wouldn't believe it, but I went to a boxing match last night and a hockey game broke out." Well, imagine a New York City street gang that formed a baseball team so that they could expand their criminal empire. In the Gay Nineties in New York City, this actually happened, and the street gang was called The Midnight Terrors.

Mobsters, Gangs - The Crazy Butch Gang
In the Gay Nineties, Crazy Butch was one of the youngest criminals on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Legend has it that Butch was abandoned by his parents when he was only eight years old, and as a result, Butch lived on the streets and became, what was known at the time, a "street urchin." One day, Butch was scrounging on the streets looking for food to eat, when he met a dog, who was abandoned too.

Is Theft and Stealing An Addiction or Just a Bad Habit?
I am an instructor for both court and probation approved classes here in my local jurisdiction. Most of the participants that call to come in for a class do so because it is some form of a requirement from either the court, probation, or a diversion program. I always interview those attending classes and ask what it was that they stole and why they did it. The answer to these two questions varies greatly from person to person. Some steal for the thrill of it, while others claim to do it out of necessity. Almost all; however, will agree that they have been stealing for a long, long time and it has simply become a habit, a very bad habit.

Blind, Rich, and Afraid: A New View on Pre WWII Appeasement
People often see the politics of appeasement worked up by Britain and France in the build-up to WWII with disgust or irony, perhaps the way they would view two bodybuilders donating machine guns to a skinny starving art major who took up rape as a career. A careful investigation of the socio-cultural, political build-up and the military situation before WWII changes the scenery. The British and French operated in appeasement not out of the naive assumption that Hitler would suddenly be a good boy if they gave him the toys he wanted, but out of a fear and distrust...

They're Giving Out Statehood Like Lollipops These Days!
History has taught us that the farcical "peace process" between Israel and the Palestinian Authority breaks down every single time it is forcibly initiated by the West. The routine disintegrates because it always un-peacefully proceeds in the following manner: Palestinians make demands, and Israel agrees to them; Palestinians sense weakness and up the stakes, and Israel necessarily balks; Palestinians attack Israel, and Israel counterattacks; the world condemns Israel for its "disproportionate" response, and Palestinians secretly celebrate Israel's global denigration without shedding a tear over the deaths of its own civilians; and then the whole sordid cycle starts again.
