Very soon the family of Rachel Corrie are going to Israel to take part in a court case to establish the facts of her death by bulldozer that the Israeli Army investigation seemed to have missed.

I have written twice about this matter that the short memoried American public let fade away at the time of the Pentagon lies and media blitz about Jessica Lynch. This is the second article that I wrote when the play about Rachel was opened in London a couple of years after the incident. It seems appropriate to bring the facts back into the spotlight again for the sake of a real heroine.

Here we are close to August 1st and time for the annual article about the Sabbat called Lughnassah, by those who can get their eyes around the spelling of the Irish, and Lammas by those who can’t.

Lughnassah or Lammas occurs on the first of August. This was the day on which the Christianized Saxons brought the first fruits of their fields to their landlords, the year's first harvest festival. This may have been the rent for some tenants, since this day was one of the four days when rent became due to landowners.

Pressure has been building up and my adviser on mental health says it's time for a rant. Here it is.

Nowadays there are many people becoming more interested in spirituality than in religion and many of those are interested in what the original followers of the teachings of Jesus practiced before they were persecuted almost out of existence by the intolerant and power hungry Church of Rome.

The earliest followers of the teachings of Jesus were called Nazoreans and in modern terms would be classified as Gnostics, because they worked to ‘experience’ the vital truths of the teachings rather than just ‘believe’ what someone else said.
