Weekend News

Yes, the ship is sinking. The Republicans, who supported the faux patriot Bundy, ought to feel ashamed of themselves. They supported him for the sake of advancing retrograde political philosophies (not because they love real revolutionary principles). FOX News has constantly scapegoated the poor & minorities for a while. Now, they are backtracking. This man received massive handouts and refuses to pay taxes while the poor regularly pay taxes, work long hours, and still suffer much more than him. This man is ignorant of American history, black culture, sociology, anthropology, and a wide spectrum of subjects. His card has been pulled as a faux populist, millionaire reactionary activist. He is constantly using the race card. His ridiculous views should continue to motivate all of us to handle our business, grow our families, and build in our communities. I just heard that Bundy said more offensive words. The real issue is not his ignorance though his ignorance must be exposed and condemned. The real issue is about us continuing to stand up for our communities, to stand up for affordable health care, to stand up for a better environment, to stand up against bigotry, and to stand up for the truth in general. The reactionary dogmas of Bundy including his GOP/Tea Party ilk will not prevail since we have the truth on our side. Racism is truly a disease that has harmed societies and spread harsh lies among the populace. Sister Courtney is right that FOX News just used this racist man as a means to target President Obama when FOX News should be talking about real issues like the TPP, petrodollars, the continued assault on our civil liberties, and net neutrality issues. Bundy should pay his fees and accept responsibility for his own actions. I did so much research about this man. I just found out that he is a pampered multimillionaire. This man is not some blue collar populist. He advances neoliberalism and white supremacy. So, we know that this racist has been exposed for the world to see. Anybody advancing his cause ought to feel shame. This man is a criminal, a hypocrite, and a liar. He wants to talk about our black people, but Cliven Bundy is a tax deadbeat that refuses to face personal responsibility for his own actions. That is ironic. He is violating state and federal laws. Even the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association has condemned his actions too. FOX News has been on his side and now many of them from that network want to distance themselves from him now.

This is not uncommon. Many have shown great words on this point like usual. His or Donald's views signify the essence of the doctrine of white supremacy. Many people like Donald Sterling express the exact same sick views. He obviously doesn’t respect black people or any human being for humans have the right to associate who they want to. She is a grown woman. It is ironic that he doesn’t want his girlfriend to associate with blacks, but blacks heavily make up the players in the NBA. Black people are on his team causing massive financial benefit in his life. The class act Magic Johnson spoke the truth on this issue too. Donald Sterling is not a real man at all. His racist words ought to be condemned. The woman of color is worth more than that and she can leave the man ASAP. People have to have self-respect and not associate with a vile racist like Donald Sterling at all. He paying money for violating federal housing discrimination laws outlines his deep bigotry. People have the right to not go into any Clipper game and not fund this man at any way shape or form. It is the intense jealousy of the white racists that make their viciousness all the more reason for us to oppose their agenda. Typically, many who want to degrade a person want to be just like that person. These racists have had a barbaric history from the Maafa to their actions in the four corners of the Earth stealing, destroying, and exploiting the lands of people of color (their crimes have been so vicious that I can't type the atrocities here because of the censors). It is our job to call these bigots out and to build in our communities. We should condemn evil and do righteous actions as a means for our people to improve. Donald Sterling will reap what he will sow after this no doubt. Karma is nothing to be played with.


Felicia Smith is totally wrong in her behavior. Individually, she should face punishment. Teaching is an important occupation. The child experienced abuse, disrespect, and exploitation. Her actions were totally unprofessional and are the opposite of the essence of real educational action. She can celebrate the male student’s birthday in so many alternative ways. She can sing a song, give candy to the student, and even talk about the student’s birthday in a progressive, positive fashion. She giving a lap dance to the student is in violation of educational policies and other laws too. She should face accountability for her individual actions. She does have issues that she has to deal with (she does need both accountability and help to deal with her issues). She should learn lessons too. Also, I have a great thought on this issue. We should not only promote ethics and true morality. We should give examples, reasons, and stats also on why ethics, truth telling, and stable action contribute to the betterment of society overall. The financial collapse back years ago was a product in part of greed, selfishness, and immoral economic action. So, giving reasons on why doing the right thing is great to the youth can further improve communities. More teachers should experience job ethics training (and there has to be further action to prevent such things from occurring). The female teacher obviously should face punishment and we can learn lessons from this story as a means for us to learn better ways to assist our people. She does need to be punished and receive help too. People should have a strong foundation as a means to fulfill their total human potential. Balance is the key too. There is nothing wrong with having legitimate fun in life, but we should always reject abuse & inappropriate behavior in the classroom. They are certainly sophisticated in how they execute their vicious system. We as a black people should reject the wicked traps of society. The judicial system for a long time have split our families, ruined lives of our Brothers and our Sisters (including innocent people), and fought against true black progress. We should oppose domestic violence with vigor wholeheartedly (any form of domestic violence is evil and immoral. What Rihanna suffered can never be justified at all period) and we should expose the corruption and unfairness that are greatly found in the judicial system. The powers that be can easily continue with the trial as soon as possible, so people can move forward. Yet, they wanted to institute a delay, which signifies in my view a personal animus towards Chris Brown. Chris Brown should be told the truth, face accountability, and be allowed to improve his life. He is accountable for his actions and we have to continue to be on guard about the traps in life. We should reject the bait and conduct our lives in dignity plus honor.

Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy that believes in massively deregulation, austerity measures, massive free trade policies, etc. That view has been promoted by Hayek, Milton Freidman, and other Republican reactionaries. The Mont Pelerin Society (whose members have links to eugenics, etc.) advanced it and that is a reactionary organization. The Mont Pelerin society is the mother of the Tea Party Movement that much of the general public doesn’t know about. Al Gore and Bill Clinton accept many neoliberal principles too, so no major party is immune from its doctrines. I have researched this information for a very long time. Now, some are right that many people who claim to be liberals are closet racists. There are many liberal establishment figures that have done corruption and evils. That is true. Yet, I prefer to be politically independent and Cliven Bundy's words (as we both agree) are repugnant, inaccurate, and disrespectful. At the end of the day, we should not worship the establishment and we can live our lives independently. If any religious institution fails to address the legitimate needs of the people, then that institution will fail. Not all religious people are monolithic. Some religious folks are doing great things and others are obviously frauds. At the end of the day, you have to allow individuals to decide for themselves whether they want to go into a religious building or not. I know believers in God who are moral and are fighting for justice. I know non-believers who fighting for justice, and believe in morals too. One philosophy that I can't stand is the prosperity gospel. I have a real dislike of that "gospel." Any organization involved in the trying to deal with the black community should bear responsibility in their fundamental policies. One truth is that we can't use religion to exploit people. Far too often, some folks want to use religion as a means to prevent revolutionary change in the black community (including to fleece the poor and to exploit black women). We are better than embracing authoritarian philosophies & theocratic distractions. That is why we should allow the freedom of people to believe in spirituality or not.


The pivot of Asia agenda has been imperialistic, slick, and an agenda that I profoundly disagree with. Massive sanctions have starved even innocent North Koreans. The status quo obviously doesn’t work as the status quo has increased tensions in the region. America has encircled China and it wants to end constitutional restrictions on the Japanese armed forces (as we know that Japanese militarism has caused the 1937 Nanjing massacre. Likewise, I condemn the unjust bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki decades ago). These actions of encirclement and militarization are very provocative overtly. Both America (which has police brutality, many violations of human rights here, unjust laws, militarism, and massive economic inequality) and North Korea should clean up their houses. There is nothing wrong with immediate, strong peaceful negotiations among both countries to resolve issues excluding provocative, unjust militarist actions. For years and decades, the West has deployed weapons against innocent civilians in violation of international law and any ideals or principles. Since 1945, America has killed about 46 million people in other countries, most of which are civilians (either directly or via proxy by its puppet regimes). 4.3 million people were killed in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos during Washington’s war on all three nations (from 1962 to 1975). On Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, the U.S. dropped 20 million gallons of the deadly chemical herbicide Agent Orange. In Vietnam's case, the aim was to destroy forests where Viet Cong guerrillas were hiding. Agent Orange damaged foliage extensively but obviously failed to stop the guerrillas who eventually won the war. These chemicals caused many Vietnamese civilians to suffer mental disorders and physical deformities. Many American soldiers suffered diseases too. As U.K. journalist John Pilger informs us, "In 1970, the U.S. Senate reported: 'The U.S. has dumped on Vietnam a quantity of toxic chemical (dioxin) amounting to six pounds per head of population.' This was Operation Hades -- the source of what Vietnamese doctors call a 'cycle of foetal catastrophe.' I have seen generations of children with their familiar, monstrous deformities. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, with his own blood-soaked war record, will remember them." John Kerry fought in Vietnam back in the 1960’s and now in 2014, he is the Secretary of State supporting a neo-liberal, authoritarian Kiev puppet regime. Depleted uranium has harmed the Iraqi population too.
