Dat ol’ Sharlatan boy alwaze ben suspec ta me
How de jurnalis in jail an dat ol’ boy run free?
He millytunt lak de roun’ hol fo’ de square peg
Dat ol’ boy ‘bout as crookit as a dawg’s hin’ leg
Whetha he wearin’ wire, Gerri-curl, or de ‘Cess
Wen he cum, you know he cumin wit sum mess
What JB say, “lak a dull nife dat jus’ ain’t cuttin’?”
Lawd, dat boy ben talkin’ loud an’ sayin’ nuttin’!
An’ how in hell did he git at de head ob de march
Less Randoff, Russin or Kang pass em de torch?
But, it don’ tak no Shurlock Homes or Calumbo
So, plese don’ cum at me wit dat mumbo-jumbo
It feel lak we jus gittin’ a tlil’ pece ob de troof
Boy up in de Offal Offuz wit his chekurd youf
It simpul as dis: “Ebry thang glittur ain’t gol
Jus’ lak ebry thang on ice sho’ nuff ain’t col
He de blak, dubul blak, 14-carrut millytunt fak
Code-name ”See-Eye-Seeben,” dat tak de cak
Don’de Seekrit Servus do wha wite fok call vet?
Nobydee hear dat Sebben frum de *IBM set?
60 Menits tos’ him sof bawls ‘bout book an’ wait
Nuthin’ ‘bout See-Eye-Sebben an’ See-Eye-8?
Silunce ‘bout danjurs ob being See-Eye-Sebben—
‘Cause he wus ‘bout ta turn TB star ‘roun elebben!
Thro’d de Green Zar an Reb Rite unna de bus—
But, wit ol’ Sebben, dere wusn’t eben a lil’ fuss
Lak Calumbo, “Dere’s one thang botha me”
How walls got erz, camruz ebry pol an’ tree
Dey eben know de culur an’ time dat ah pee
How he fule Commanduh-in-Cheef, fuleAG?
Ain’t a bettin’ man, an’ don’ bose, don’ glote
But, ah figur he be wearin’ a seement obercoat…
When dey sels out ta debils wha dey expecs?
Gots a funne feelin dat ol’ Kwonza boy be nex…

Colonized people must be in solidarity with the oppressed and by definition, that means being anti-zionist.
The grandiose name, National Endowment for Democracy, is a subterfuge meant to hide the fact that NED is the public relations arm of the CIA.
There would be no war crimes committed in Gaza absent the direct involvement of the U.S.
Gaza is quite rightly a big news story these days, but events there are just the latest example of the centuries-old settlers' lust for conquest.
It shouldn't need to be said at this late date, but imperialism and settler colonialism are the pertinent issues to address in any discussion of Zionism.
