December 2012 News



 

People realize the destruction in Africa as a product of the war in Libya. NATO led a huge bombardment campaign that ended a year ago. Conflicts (like civil violence) are still occurring in Libya as the NATO attacks in that nation. Democracy can never come by bombing a country into democracy. True democracy can only come via more peaceful avenues. The Libyan situation is a concept that doesn't relate to human rights at all. The war was sold to the public as a means to promote humanitarianism. Muammar Gaddafi was claimed by the mainstream media as threatening mass atrocities, and using genocide against human beings in Benghazi. These claims were false. We were told by the Western media that Gaddafi fueled his troops with Viagra, so they could execute some systematic spree of mass rape. That was false. We were told that he or Gaddafi used the air force against unarmed, peaceful protesters. That was proven to be incorrect. The mainstream media said to us that he imported African mercenaries to butcher his opposition. That racist slander was false and that slander was utilized as a means where my people were murdered by rebel terrorists. This war or military intervention in Libya didn't save lives and it didn't protect civilians. These fabrications include incubator baby stories on steroids and other exaggerations. The mainstream media (including so-called liberals like Ed Schultz) claimed that if we didn't act in a military manner, then Gaddafi's atrocities would continue. Yet, when we did act, we refuse to be held accountable for our own actions. Interventionists follow this hypocritical pattern of not being made accountable for the trouble they cause in the world. They omit that NATO killed civilians too. NATO member states, like Canada and their chief spokesman never failed to label every armed action against Libyan forces as "protecting civilians." NATO on many times refused to protect innocent civilians in Libyan and knowingly let them die. There are plenty examples of this reality. When there were over 1,500 African refugees who died at sea, fleeing Libya, and they were in close proximity to NATO vessels that monitored all traffic. They blockaded Libyan ports with some vessels coming into direct contact. Even the European Council, the Italian government, Amnesty International, and a report from Goldsmiths all faulted NATO for violating international law (since NATO ignored the pleas for help of refugees that were adrift and dying). This is a serious violation of international law and no one has been accountable. We know also that NATO jets and drones specifically and knowingly targeted civilians. An Independent Civil Society Mission to Libya and even Amnesty International found out about these civilian deaths caused by NATO. There was the case in Sirte. On September 15, 2011, NATO missiles struck and killed 47 civilian rescuers. This is called double tapping or an established U.S. practice, which was documented in the "Collateral Murder" video from Iraq (and by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism). Civilian men coming to the aid of those attacked have been redefined by the U.S. government as not civilians for merely being abled bodied men of combat age. NATO illegally armed people, and caused phony ceasefires to allow civilians to leave targeted cities (NATO targeted cities to be destroyed like Sirte). This action caused the insurgents to resupply and this didn't cease the bombardments at all. This intervention escalated the Libyan conflict. The insurgents have done massive atrocities. They include mass detentions, abductions, torture, racist lynching, and the ethnic cleansing of whole towns have resulted. Never under Gaddafi had such widespread atrocities been reported. Yet, according to the extremists and neo-conservatives, the West should not be made accountable for these actions. Indeed, some folks don’t even like to talk about such matters. The West wanted to bring about regime change. We specifically targeted Gaddafi and his family for assassination. And then, like Hillary Clinton, some of us gloated. Benghazi was saved and Sirte was reduced to rubble. There was so much destruction in Sirte, that some compare it to the destruction and devastation found in Stalingrad and Grozny years ago. It's hypocritical for the West to claim that the Libyan intervention was for the promotion of human rights when the result of has been the violation of the human rights of the civilians. I don't agree with President Barack Obama on all issues, but as I am getting older, I see that this system of oppression existed long before he was in office. So, we have to look at the bigger picture at how white supremacy is an enemy that we must defeat. Africa is being harmed by these imperialist aims. We will not be silent on Libya. Africa has the right to own its own petroleum, minerals, and construction contracts without Western domination period.



People understand about the Michigan GOP's right to work assault on workers. The Michigan Governor Rick Snyder backtracked on his commitment to avoid so-called "right to work" legislation and by the end of the day, both the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan State Senate has introduced (and passed bills aimed at the state's union workforce). The Michigan Republicans always say that these state measures are necessary for Michigan to stay competitive with Indiana. These laws have negative effects on workers and little effect on economic growth though. The legislation prohibits private sector unions from requiring members to pay dues. The Senate passed a different and similar measure that extends the same prohibition for public sector union, though firefighters and police officers are exempt. Union leaders and Democrats claim that Republicans are pushing the legislation through in the lame-duck session to hide the intent of the measures from citizens (and because the legislation would face more trouble after the new House convenes in January). Michigan Republicans hold a 63-47 advantage in the state House, but Democrats narrowed the GOP majority to just eight seats in November. Six Republicans opposed the House measure; five of them won re-election in 2012 (the sixth retired). Also, Michigan Republicans have good reason to pursue the laws without public debate. 78 percent of voters said that the legislature should focus on issues of creating jobs and improving education not on changing state laws that would impact unions or make further changes in collective bargaining. Studies prove that the right to work law will cost workers money. The Economic Policy Institute found that the right to work laws cost all workers unions and otherwise $1,500 a year in wages. It will make it harder for workers to obtain pensions and health coverage. “If benefits coverage in non-right-to-work states were lowered to the levels of states with these laws, 2 million fewer workers would receive health insurance and 3.8 million fewer workers would receive pensions nationwide,” David Madland and Karla Walter from the Center for American Progress wrote earlier this year. The decreases in union membership that result from right-to-work laws have a significant impact on the middle class and research “shows that there is no relationship between right-to-work laws and state unemployment rates, state per capita income, or state job growth,” EPI wrote in a recent report about Michigan. “Right-to-work” laws also decrease worker safety and can hurt small businesses. Of course, union leaders are against Snyder and the GOP's right to work agenda. “In a state that gave birth to the modern U.S. labor movement, it is unconscionable that Michigan legislators would seek to drive down living standards for Michigan workers and families with a law that will do nothing to improve either the state’s economic climate or the quality of life for Michigan residents,” RoseAnn DeMoro, the executive director of National Nurses United, said in a statement. Another report says that spending cuts will hurt economic growth and revenue increases will not. We are near the fiscal cliff (or automatic spending cuts and tax increases that will come by 2013). Another study found that spending cuts pose a major threat to economic growth. This study is from the International Monetary Fund. It found that the negative impact of spending cuts during economic downturns in the United States are “statistically significant and sizeable,” while the impact of new revenues is “very small and not significantly significant.” The IMF found that each dollar during an economic downturn, the USA could lose as much as $1.80 in economic activity. One percent in revenues would shave 0.1 percent of growth from the nation's gross domestic product. Revenues increases from the super wealthy would be negligible to the economy if done the right way and billions of dollars of investments (into infrastructure and jobs programs) can offset the negative effects of spending cuts. Republicans still clung to the view that tax increases on the wealthy will derail the economic recovery. They or the GOP view deficit reduction and spending cuts alone as a way to speed it up. We know that austerity has caused to double dip recession in Europe. Speaking of Europe, there was the pro capitalist Krupp working with Hitler, so unregulated capitalism isn't infallible at all. The libertarians need to realize that you can never place personal economics above the liberation of the people against white supremacy. There is no real success unless you have total liberation of the people. Wealth has the right to be redistributed to the poor.





I will expose extremism and shills. The new tactic of the shill is to use concepts of "liberty" and "freedom" to hide their reactionary face. Their face is still reactionary, but they act like true liberty lovers. You can talk about peace all you want, but you can never have peace without justice. Justice should be given unto men, women, immigrants, and everyone of all backgrounds. It is our job to reject the lie that states’ rights are superior to human rights. The evil people of Jim Crow South opposed the welfare state, they wanted eugenics, they wanted segregation, and these folks desired other evils. Real people spoke out and actively fought to end a lot of oppression against human beings indeed. These shills have a pattern. Many of them hate Jewish people or Arabic people. When you investigate such a person, on many cases, they do hate black people too. So, these people aren't our side at all. One of these shills was the late William Luther Pierce (who wrote the "Turner Diaries"). His newsletter was funded by the Holocaust denier Willis Carto. Lew Rockwell is the head of the Mises Society and he wrote the infamous Ron Paul newsletters (that slandered human beings). Rockwelll is a neo-Confederacy or a person who believe that the wickedness of the Confederacy is somehow holy (which is sick to say the least). So, these people are connected to each other. Even the anarcho-capitalist extremist Tom DiLorenzo wants to blame the Union for the Civil War when it the avaricious plantation owners that brutalized innocent human beings throughout the South. They hate Abraham Lincoln, because he was a Republican that caused an income tax, lessen state rights, and used government money to fund the International railroad. He wasn't perfect, but he would be castigated by the Republicans today on some issues. One sign of these reactionary shills is that they hate all progressive views and they are open to union busting, poor scapegoating, and other anti-human rights policies. Another such extremist was Milton Friedman. He didn't believe in actual freedom, because he helped Chile submit under the evil Pinochet administration. Friedman and others like him have been educated at the Chicago School. Chile under Pinochet once harmed the economic and political freedoms of Chile indeed. Wages were down and economic benefits were stripped from the people of Chile under Pinochet. Friedman praised the dictator General Suharto, which caused millions of people to die in Indonesia. We know what works. Norway is a prime example of that being one of the high GDP nations on planet Earth. Norway has a mixed economy. It has a 70 percent tax rate on the rich, it has government healthcare, it has strong public resources, great education, free cars for people who can't afford them, etc. The libertarian Ron Paul gave his final address to Congress recently in late 2012. What was interesting about his speech was that he expressed the old neo-Confederate interpretation of the Constitution and the false view that the bad old days of laissez faire capitalism is somehow holy. Ron Paul is wrong to believe that businesses should do almost whatever they want to. He attacks progressive ideas like union rights. Ron Paul is wrong to assume that everything was working just fine before the early 20th century. For example, a century ago, women were denied the right to vote by law and many non-white males were denied the right to vote via Jim Crow. Native Americans were confined to oppressive reservations and black people were frequently lynched nationwide not just in Dixie. We don't need the era of the robber barons again where monopolistic trusts overcharged key services and factory workers suffered dangerous conditions. The Great Depression proved that we need to sacrifice our time to promote a strong social safety net where we can have a living wage, Social Security, moral security, and respect for human dignity in our lives. We want liberty not a privileged system that benefits the oligarchs. Ron Paul is a reactionary that believed that we must follow the Golden Rule (which I have no issue with), but the Robber Barons didn't follow it either. Ron Paul needs to realize that the modern Constitution was about the expanding the federal government and making a sovereign Union beyond the weak Articles of Confederation. The Constitution gives the federal government the right to handle interstate commerce and promote the General Welfare of society. Article I, Section 8 is clear about that issue. The Tenth Amendment means that any powers not mentioned by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people. It doesn't eliminate the constitutionally granted broad powers already in existence that comes from the federal government. Not to mention that new federal laws can exist anyway via Congress. We can't remain in the 18th century. The re-emergence of the reactionary is real. They hate the New Deal. They include theocrats, war mongering, free marketers, and others. They exaggerate the Tenth Amendment and promote the revisionist lie that the Founders wanted to restrain the federal government in an extreme fashion. 1899 is over. We need real infrastructure development, adequate housing, a progressive economic system, and real liberty to be transparent in society. Libertarians cry about force, but they forget that the Universe is imperfect. Therefore, you need righteous force in order to make the world better like nonviolent resistance and even self-defense. All forms of force aren’t completely evil at all. Sometimes, you have to confront evil via confrontation in order for goodness or righteousness to reign in the world.




People understand about Egypt's imperfect Constitution. Egyptian President Morsi wants to have quick vote on a new constitution. This has been criticized by secularists and Islamists. There are still political tensions and drama in Egypt. President Mohamed Morsi has called December 15 as the date for a referendum on the just written constitution. The referendum will see how strong Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood-led country is. It has the secular opponents. There is the boycott of the constitution writing assembly by liberal secularists and Christians. Morsi claims special powers to stop the judiciary from negating the work of the Brotherhood dominated constituent assembly. The draft constitution has been written hastily. The referendum is not the end of the goal of democracy in Egypt. The constitution is put to a vote. The President under the Constitution will be a less powerful president than Morsi claims to be now. The constitution can be amended. The Salafists (who are opposed by the secularists) said that the constitution doesn't go far enough. The Salafists said that the document vest sovereignty in the people rather than in God. Egypt's constitutional structure should be orderly not confusing or filled with games. Of course Morsi cannot point to any widely accepted authority to claim the power to issue the decree he did the other day, but the other actors in the Egyptian political game don’t have much more of a legal basis for doing what they are doing either. It's normal to witness these developments, because the American Constitution came by debate. The old Articles of Confederation was replaced by the modern Constitution. Even the modern Bill of Rights had to be approved by numerous states from Rhode Island to New Hampshire. There is a clash between Islamists, secularists, and State Department inspired youth groups. The Parliament seats in Egypt are ruled by more than 73 percent of the Islamists. That is why the secularists are afraid that Morsi possibly could cause Islamic Sharia law since he has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Ironically, the West has praised Morsi for his handling of the reality of how he influenced Hamas and Israel to agree to the cease fire. Shimon Peres, Tony Blair, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (including President Barack Obama) has praised Morsi for his efforts in causing a cease fire. We should promote truth and freedom not theocracy. One Libyan democracy and women's right advocate is named Magdulien Abaida has been abducted and beaten in Libya (by rebels) since she desires gender equality. This problem exists in America where according to an Amnesty International in its 2011 report had claimed that United States recruits nearly 100,000 new male and female prostitutes, both children and adults, each year.

People know the truth about Mormonism indeed. Mormonism believes that they are chosen to fulfill certain prophecies from God. Some of them even believe in the old heresy that they are descended through biblical Israel. Many Mormons value education, oppose marriage outside the Mormon community, have strict dietary laws, and some observe the Sabbath. They wear special undergarments and they mimic many of the concepts from Freemasonry. It's not a secret that real Secret Societies have infilitrated some religious communities, political entities, economic power structures, and other parts of human society. For example, Bonesmen are heavily involved in 20th century Presidential administrations and today they hold power positions in various corporate enterprises in the 21st century. Even ex-Mason Bill Schnoebelen is right to speak that Freemasonry has similarities to Witchcraft and Freemasonry has a very occult ceremoney even in its First Degree (Masons historically have written books about promoting deception in its lower Degrees). Many historical figures have been involved in Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a fraternity that many of its dogma comes from the Mysteries. They teach heresies (like the usage of obscene, death related oaths that can't save a soul at all). One of the biggest ones is that some Masons believe that we can't find the perfect truth. Albert Pike in his teachings of the 14th Degree from pg. 223 says: "...Perfect truth is not attainable anywhere...God is as man concieves Him, the reflected image of man himself." On the other hand, God is the truth and we can know the truth via spiritual, intellectual, and social development. Yeshua ben Yoseph is right to say in John 14:6 that he has the truth and no man can come into the Father but by the Son.  That is why you see many Freemasons suspectible to spiritual deception and New Age philosophies. Common sense dictates that Freemasonry is a deception. You can't say that you are moral organization when you have deception in the lower degrees, spiritual deception, and their involvement in the murder of the innocent hero William Morgan. One famous LDS President was Ezra Taft Benson. Many scholars point to similarities between Mormonism and Judaism too. The fourth elected governor of Utah was a Jewish person (called Simon Bamberger, who was elected back in 1916) and the LDS Church provided funds to build the first Reform Synagogue in Salt Lake City. Mormons are discouraged from proselytizing in Israel and, since 1995; Mormons have stopped posthumously baptizing Jews who have died (an act they continue to perform for everyone else). L.D.S. was named the Church of the Latter Day Saints, because Joseph Smith claimed to receive a revelation that the original Mormon leadership would reincarnate in the "Later Days" to bring in the Millennium. Many LDS leaders were related to famous Americans like Ulysses S. Grant, FDR, Eli Whitney, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. The LDS teaches that God the Father and Jesus Christ had multiple wives who are eternal goddesses and princesses. This heresy is the doctrinal basis of the Mormons' "Sacred Marriage" rite or Mormon couples being united in secret marriage rituals (to become gods and goddesses in eternity). This doctrine debases Jesus Christ as a fornicator and polygamist, which is blasphemy. Another heresy that is embraced by another creed is the view that certain religious leaders should be forced not to marry (even if they want to voluntarily). We know which creed follows that heresy. Marriage is a holy union and it ought to be respected. There is nothing wrong with being single too. People have the right to be out and express their human rights.
