Just a Different Form of Crucifixion.

It’s obvious enough that Establishments ancient and modern have felt, and continue to feel, the need to shackle the radical and destroy the subversive. So, here’s the proposal:

Let’s suppose for a minute that the story of Jesus as reported in the canonical Gospels is reasonably accurate. That should leave us in no doubt that he was both a radical and a subversive. And then let’s further suppose that his entry on the world stage had been delayed by two thousand years. Let’s suppose that he turned up now, fresh and unknown, in modern day America, preaching the same message.

Does anyone seriously doubt that his treatment at the hands of the CIA would be any less harsh than it allegedly was at the hands of the Romans?

And I know I’m not the first person to say this, but I thought it was about time it went on the blog.
