Drone rockets and Cell Phones - America's shame!
Dear friends,
It is extremely sad that so many Americans seem to have no concern for all of the innocent people that our government is murdering under the pretense of protecting Americans from future harm by "terrorists".
First of all, since when does any human being on this planet know the intentions of any other person? Secondly, if the logic of our government is true, then that means that, in fact, those who we are attacking are just as much warranted in killing Americans. In other words, why is the life of an American more precious than anyone who is not American?
Also, the term "American interests" is often used, instead of "American", as the reason for these vicious killings. Whose interests are being threatened? Obviously, the economic and financial interests of the American corporations and banks who sponsor the federal politicians, including our president, who themselves then order the military to make the deadly strikes.
Finally, the latest military strategy by our government to murder those who are allegedly a threat to either American or "American interests", are being targeted via cell phones, irrespective of whether the person who was actually holding the phone is the actual "terrorists" who is being sought.

Will US female soldiers be raped less now?
Dear friends,
ON the link below is an interesting editorial from the Philadelphia Inquirer, regarding the new rule of allowing females to be combat soldiers. The editorial board, correctly, mentions the tragic rape statistics for female soldiers. Yet, isn't it dumb and cowardly for the US armed forces' male rulers to now allow women into combat as a priority, but not first express the same vigor against sexual assaults on female soldiers, by even suggestimg that the sexual assaults may be lessened, if their male counterparts start realizing that, perhaps, females may be needed to save the latter's arses? Huh? Moreover, is being cannon fodder for the benefit of corporate capitalism something about which females - or males, for that matter, should aspire?...smh 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.

Why is Obama maintaining AFRICOM - and the war against Libya? (originally posted 8/3/11)
“He has an African name and purports to be African American. In other words, with such a ‘head of state’, I knew that that would be a strong basis for US multinational business to be able to open up markets in Africa.”
Dear friends,
Ever since he first started running for the presidential office, I have insisted that the only reason that Barack Obama was a good choice for the racist rulers of this country is: He has an African name and purports to be African American. In other words, with such a "head of state", I knew that that would be a strong basis for US multinational businesses to be able to open up markets in Africa.
After all, the days of European colonial rule are not that far in the past. Therefore, while China has opened up solid business relationships with a number of African countries, one can only imagine that some of the offshoots of the aforementioned European colonists, i.e., European American businesspeople, would find it difficult to meet welcoming arms there. I wonder why?
At any rate, after first using the flimsy excuse of fighting a “war on terror”, in early 2007, the person who was the president at the time, George W. Bush, instituted The United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM or AFRICOM).
However, Africans were not so lovey-dovey with the idea of having such a strong US military presence there. So, the headquarters of AFRICOM ended up being placed just outside of Stuttgart, Germany.
Nevertheless, AFRICOM has been involved in activities that make it apparent there is an ulterior motive for having military bases set up all over Africa’s 54 countries – oil.
Now, while some Black folks are concerned about the term “tar baby” being used in the same sentence as a reference to Barack Obama’s actions, at least to me, a much more important question is: Why is President Obama maintaining AFRICOM?
Additionally, why are Black journalists from around the country, who are meeting in Philadelphia beginning this week, wondering why, as a body, they are becoming more and more inconsequential, when African American people are not even informed about, for example, the actions of this president and inspired to demand meaningful representation from him?
