THE WAR AGAINST THE POOR

Back in the eighties a minister, Jack Nicholas-Pallmeyer, wrote a little book titled The War Against the Poor-low intensity conflict and Christian faith. He focused on the conflict in Nicaragua. But what was happening in Nicaragua was mirrored in the rest of Central America. Takes a bit of reading. It is a book after all. Read it and weep. And for those of us old enough remember that almost no coverage that didn't come from Reagan administration spokesmen was in the so called free press of the time.

And some of those actions, techniques, whatever you want to call them are being played out on our borders and in our minority neighborhoods. No bombs or morters. Yet
