Noam Chomsky on the USA and Israel - partners in crime

"It's something that you'll never see on PBS or even Democracy Bow."

Dear friends,

I was personally introduced to the great scholar Noam Chomsky back in the early Eighties, at Temple University. We shared a mutual friend who insisted upon us meeting. Nevertheless, I found Noam to be a very straightforward guy. Yet, he has an extremely mellow personality.

Nevertheless, the disgraceful move by the Democrats last week, during their convention, to name the occupied territory of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has inspired me to revisit the link below. It is a 36 minutes-long video of Dr. Chomsky at a college lecture/panel that happened not long ago. He really gives a great synopsis of the relationship between the USA and Israel. It's something that you'll never see on either PBS or even Democracy Now.

Cheers!

Why is the C.I.A. so much in fashion these days?

"I find it amazing that, even in a time of WikiLeaks exposing covert US government misconduct, that the same C.I.A. who, historically, murdered the likes of Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevara, and Salvador Allende are now blatantly perpetrating revolts around the Middle East and North Africa."

Dear friends,

I find it amazing that, even in a time of WikiLeaks exposing covert US government misconduct, that the same C.I.A. who, historically, murdered the likes of Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevera, and Salvador Allende are now blatantly perpetrating revolts around the Middle East and North Africa. Worse yet, television programs sporting C.I.A. operatives, like NCIS w/LL Cool J and CHAOS, are now in fashion. Moreover, is all of this about "transparency", arrogance, or getting citizens to accept this ruthless group that is worst than any of its organized crime counterparts?

Nevertheless, after recently seeing a New York Times piece about the role of the C.I.A. ‘s current involvement in Libya, I decided to do a piece about this shameful US foreign policy body. During my research, I came across an article that really pointed out the exact history of this agency that engages in never-ending, unconscionable acts against humanity, that seemingly happens totally outside of this government. The article appears on the link below.

Piling Up On POTUS - a poem

“Piling on POTUS” – a poem 
by G. Djata Bumpus   

They said that 
he’d never get the job done. 
Piling on POTUS. 

 It started 
with an election run. 
Piling on POTUS.  

To think that 
a Black man finally won. 
Piling on POTUS. 

 Disheartened 
racists, far more than one. 
Piling on POTUS. 

 Now claim that 
his being there isn’t fun. 
Piling on POTUS.

South African Youth Getting High on HIV Drugs

Dear friends,

It has recently been brought to my attention that a former "problem"  in South Africa has now reached an almost epidemic level. It is: Young people are trading sexual favors and robbing people for HIV drugs, in order to smoke them and get some kind of alleged euphoric nightmares. The problem seems to be limited to South Africa right now. No other African nations have complained about it yet. However, it just goes to show what people will do to escape the reality of oppression, while, simultaneously, being content with said oppression.

On the link below is a BBC piece that was written about the earlier stage of the problem, several years ago. Cheers!
