Monday News in June of 2013
The Woolwich killing was a huge development in the world. This event outlines the evil British ruling elite exploiting the death of a one man as a means to continue their imperialist killing spree in the world. The solider named Lee Rigby was killed in Woolwich, London. This event has allowed some to cloak the lies, intrigue, and criminality done as it relates to the evil British foreign policy. After Rigby's evil and brutal murder, many media and political figures have refused to questioned the motives of his accused killers (their names are Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale). Labour MP David Lammy described “the suggestion that the murder was a direct consequence of British foreign policy” as “superficially compelling,” including criticism of “my vote in favour of the invasion of Iraq.” Even the Guardian's Jonathan Freedland made an error (as he attacked progressive figures). He refused to make a link between the events in London to the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. He claims that this reality is trying to have sneak sympathy for the event. We have the right to discuss the circumstances leading to the horrific crime that Adebolajo and Adebowale were accused of. When you see the truth, you see the greater crime perpetrated by the British ruling elite. We know that the alleged killers have been known to MI5 for years or for a decade in Adebolajo's case. He was affiliated with the banned Islamist group Al-Mahaijroun. In November 2010, he was detained in Kenya while trying to travel in Somalia (some felt that he allegedly wanted to join the Islamist group called Al-Shabaab). On May 23, Abu Nusaybah, an associate of Adebolajo, was arrested immediately after an interview with BBC “Newsnight” in which he alleged that Adebolajo was tortured in Kenya and harassed by MI5, which asked him to become an informer. Evidence has been found that Britain was the architect of Adebolajo's arrest and actively protected him subsequently. According to the Daily, the SAS unit worked with MI5 as a means to snatch Adebolajo in Kenya. This was when he was ready to cross the border into Somalia. A source said, “The SAS took the lead role. The reason they were involved was because this man was deemed important.” A Scotland Yard counter-terrorism officer based in Africa was “close by” as he was taken into custody by Kenya. Adebolajo was later sent back to Britain with “a Scotland Yard detective, travelling undercover,” on board. Now, Adebolajo's legal representative in Kenya said that he made a second attempt in February last year to travel to Somalia with five others. They were detained by Kenyan authorities. The UK reportedly told the Kenyan police that he was a clean man and he was sent back once more to the UK. Some sources in Africa told the Mail something. They said that they have seen Adebolajo in Kenya for a third time in November. He was in the company of the radical cleric Sheikh Hassan Makbul (on both occasions, he used a false passport). Just like in the Boston marathon bombings, we see that security services have been intimately linked with jihadist elements (as a means for British imperialism to gain more traction in the Middle East and Africa). There has been a Syrian link to this situation. A caller to the BBC's London 94.9 radio station (named Abdullah) identified Adebolajo as a man who campaigned outside of a community center recently in Plumstead, London. He wanted the youth to go and fight in Syria. Abdullah explained, “We may not have to go there because their soldiers are here,” before adding, “Success is closer than you think.” William Hague in April acknowledged reports that more than 100 Britons were among the 600 plus Europeans that have gone to fight in Syria with groups linked to Al-Qaeda (like the Al Nusra Front). Hague wrote a letter to MPs that such groups are a danger since they will try to carry out attacks against Western interests in the West now or in the future. Hague wanted to lift the EU's arms embargo in Syria as a means to close down the “uncontested space” presently filled by fundamentalists with supposedly “moderate” forces armed by the Western powers. Yet, Hague understands that the West (like the EU, the Brits, America) including the Middle Eastern allies of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are funding the sectarian insurgency. The insurgency is heavily ruled by Islamist groups that the West has cultivated for years. The West want regime change in Syria as a way for them to get the region’s oil reserves in a strategic power grab. The EU embargo was lifted as result from the campaign from the UK and France on May 28. This will cause more atrocities in Syria via jihadists as terror squads (on the behalf of London, Washington, and Paris). In the UK, reactionaries are exploiting these events as a means to create even harsher repressive policies domestically. Prime Minister David Cameron has created an anti-terror task force as a means to propose measures to tackle "political extremism." This force includes the Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, and the Director General of MI5 Andrew Parker. The government of the UK now is trying to reintroduce legislation that makes telecom companies to record the time, duration, originator, and recipient of all emails, phone calls, messages on social media, webmail and Internet voice calls made in the UK. The murder of Lee Rigby has been exploited as a means for the enemy to continue their imperialist and colonialist adventures overseas. Political life in Britain and globally has been harmed by laws that violate human civil liberties. The leaders of financial power want to get the oil, gas, and mineral resources of the Earth via wars. Now, we are paying trillions of dollars for these evil wars and they cost our social programs at home. The ruling class is just as much responsible for the murder of the soldier as the real murderers are. They are the ones who orchestrate terrorism globally.
We know that self-defense is a God given right. Its history has been long. Folks from across the political spectrum have agreed with this concept as well. Tyrants then and now wanted to use stricter anti-gun laws while the state has a monopoly of the use of organized force. When the state has a monopoly of force, bad things happen historically. We know of the 1979 Greensboro Massacre. There was an FBI informer that led the Klan/Nazi fascists to the site of protesting leftist civil rights workers and labor organizers. The fascists killed 5 progressive protesters. The FBI informer and an agent of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms showed the racists on how to use and transport the semiautomatic weapons. We know about the terrorist acts done against the MOVE commune. Ironically, the African American then mayor of Philadelphia Wilson Goode allowed cops and FBI agents in 1985 to destroy the MOVE commune literally. The cops utilized 10,000 rounds in 90 minutes, using fully automatic M-16s and M-60 machine guns, and incinerated eleven black people, including five children, in a fire ignited by C-4 plastic explosive provided by the FBI. You will notice that the anti-gun activists will never advocate disarmament of the police when police terrorism and police brutality is in epidemic levels today (not just decades ago). Cops get off so much that it is a common occurrence. Total pacifism in an imperfect society is fantasy. Ironically, the same suburban upper class lecturing on pacifism live in their homes armed to the teeth. So, do we believe that the state should have a monopoly of arms? The answer is a resounding no. The mainstream capitalist state has a monopoly of armed force as a means to maintain their rule indeed. The history of radical anti-gun measures has been to disarm populations globally, especially if they seek social change amidst injustices. The state responded to the people seeking economic or social changes by instituting laws that violated human civil liberties including the right of self-defense. Regardless of the errors of the American colonialists, they refused to give up their arms to the British imperialists when the British redcoats via British General Thomas Gage wanted them to thrown down their arms and disperse (according to the research from Stephen P. Halbrook. The concept of self-defense existed in the four corners of the Earth. It existed in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, Australia, and Europe (even in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 after the English revolution). The 18th century Blackstone's Commentaries relate to English Common Law outlines the right of human beings to defend themselves from tyrannical agencies. It is true that some exploited the Second Amendment as a means to suppress the rights of others like black Americans, but the right of self-defense is not immoral at all. Now, racism is linked to radical anti-gun measures in history. It was the racist Chief Justice Taney that refused to give black Americans the right to keep and carry arms wherever they went to. Frederick Douglas (an ex-slave and abolitionist) believed that a man has the right to use self-defense against agents of slaveholders hunting them down. Now, the reactionary Black Codes of the 1800's were made to deprive black Americans the right to have ownership of arms. An 1865 Florida statute, for instance, made it unlawful for “any Negro” to possess “firearms or ammunition of any kind,” the penalty for violation being the pillory and the whip. In response, the federal government’s Freedmen’s Bureau widely distributed circulars which read in part, “All men, without distinction of color, have the right to keep and bear arms to defend their homes, families or themselves.” The racist, private Ku Klux Klan wanted to disarm blacks and harm communities. The elite betrayed the promise of black liberation via the Compromise of 1877. Union troops left the South after the compromise. This allowed the Southern aristocrats to continue Jim Crow for another more than eight decades. Such anti-gun laws in the South that harmed the rights of African Americans existed in South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, etc. New York State’s Sullivan Law, which makes it illegal to carry a pistol for self-defense in some cases, unless you’re one of a handful of well-connected people who can get a license to “carry” from the police department, people like real estate mogul Donald Trump and New York Times publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger. Even the great Sister Ida B. Wells wanted a rifle in every black home as a means to protect black human beings from lynching. In 1965, the New York City Council passed a bill especially to keep Malcolm X from carrying a carbine for his protection; he was assassinated shortly afterward. In 1967, the California legislature banned the carrying of a loaded gun after a demonstration by the Black Panthers, who were legally carrying guns, at the state capitol in Sacramento. The Panthers had been patrolling the Oakland ghetto, where police terror was rampant. Having a gun is no smoking gun to solve all problems, but having one legitimately is not immoral. The war on Drugs, mandatory sentencing, the abolition of parole in some cases, and restrictions of human rights increased the U.S. incarceration rate and harmed communities. These acts were not reasonable solutions to our issues at all.
You can never really talk about Caribbean culture without discussing about the Caribbean cuisine. The Caribbean cuisine is made up of numerous cultures like African, Native American, East Indian, and Chinese cuisine influences. The cuisine has a great fusion. There is the local version of the Caribbean goat stew as being the official national dish of Montserrat. It is one of the signature dishes of St. Kitts and Nevis. Ackee and salt fish are popular dishes that are found in Jamaica. In Jamaica, human beings love to eat curry goat, fired dumplings, and steamed cabbage. There is the food of rice and beans (or pigeon peas or kidney beans). African, Indian, British, French, Spanish, and Chinese influence relate to Jamaican cuisine. Jerk is style of cooking that is famous in Jamaica. It is when the meat is dry rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. It is found in the seasoning of pork and chicken hence the famous phrase of jerk chicken. Jerk spice is used on fish, shrimp, shellfish, beef, sausage, lamb, and tofu. Jerk seasoning is found in allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers (which is similar in heat to the habanero pepper). There are other ingredients in jerk food. They include cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, and salt. Jamaican jerk cause comes from African sources. In the Western Hemisphere, jerk sauce was modified to fit new cultures. Jerk cooking is found all over the world beyond just the Caribbean. Restaurants sell jerk chicken in Canada, the UK, and the States (my little brother eat jerk chicken before). Bush tea is a famous herbal tea in the Virgin Islands. Pate in the Virgin Islands was fried dough filled with numerous meats (like beef, chicken, or salt fish stuffed inside a popular snack). There are numerous fruits consumed locally in the Virgin Islands. In the Virgin Islands, human beings consume sugar apple, mango, papaya, sour sop, genip, sea grapes, tamarind (that can be made into a sweet stew or rolled in sweet balls), and goose berries. Goose berries are small green sour fruit, which is smaller than a grape. These fruits are mainly stewed together with sugar for a sweet snack. Du riz a pois or Diri ak Pwa is a rice and beans dish from Haiti. Guavas juice, grapefruit juice, mango juice, and along with other juices (like orange juice, granadilla juice, and passion fruit) are popular in Haiti. Frescos are sweet deserts that Haitian people like as well. It is made up of mostly fruit syrup. The syrup is thick and very sweet. Sweet vendors sell frescos all of the time. African, France, Taino, and Spanish culinary influence make up the major Haitian cuisine. Bajan cuisine is made up of an unique, strong blend of foods. It has African, Indian, and British influences. The national dish of Barbados is Cou-Cou and Flying Fish. Cou-cou is made up of cornmeal (or corn flour) and okra. It is found all over the Caribbean. It came from African ancestry when slaves used it as a regular meal when they were brought to Barbados from Africa. Flying fish is known as a complement to cou-cou. Flying fish is either fried or steam in Barbados. There is corned beef or just stew beef used with cou-cou as well. Traditionally, cou-cou is served on Fridays at homes across Barbados and local food establishments. Fungi is the name for cou-cou when it is cooked without okra.
Puerto Rico is one of the most important nations of Latin America. Puerto Ricans live everywhere including where I live at in Virginia. Historically, Puerto Rico has been suffering under colonization under various powers including the American Empire. It was a colony of the Spanish Empire for than 400 years. Then, the Spanish-American War of 1898 came about. America accused Spain of bombing the USS Maine. America defeated Spain. The good news was that Puerto Rico was freed from Spanish oppression. The bad news was that the United States declared Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Guam as its territories. It was during the Spanish-American war on July 25, 1898 with the United States Navy landing at Guanica. The invasion was led by General Nelson A. Miles. When Spain lost the war, it ceded Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam to the United States under the Treaty of Paris for $20 million dollars. Spain later relinquished its political power over Cuba. Cuba gained its independence from the United States on May 20, 1902. From 1898 to 1900, Puerto Rico was ruled by four consecutive US military dictatorships. The governors and other officials in the Puerto Rican government were all appointed by the President of the United States. The U.S. government wanted to bring their American style "democracy" to Puerto Rico with military governors. We know what their version of democracy was all about indeed. These governors were involved in the massacres during the Native American wars in North America. The first U.S. installed governor was General Nelson A. Miles, who fought in the American Civil War, the American Indian wars, and the Spanish-American War. General Miles led the war campaign against Geronimo and the Apaches. Soon, General Miles' troops negotiated with Geronimo and the Apaches to go to a Florida reservation with a promise to return to their native lands. The promise never occurred, because the U.S. government planned to keep the Apaches in the reservations. The U.S. government appointed Major General John R. Brooke followed by Major General Guy Vernon Henry; both took part in the Wounded Knee Massacre. Then Major General George Whitfield Davies, a Civil War veteran was also appointed governor. All of them ruled Puerto Rico as a military dictatorship. The Foraker Act of 1900 allowed Puerto Rico a limited civilian popular government that included U.S. appointed and first civilian governor Charles Herbert Allen. The government had an executive council with more than 11 members, the House of Representatives; a judicial system modeled after the U.S. judicial system, a non-voting resident commissioner in Congress, and a United States District in Puerto Rico. The U.S. government appointed all of the executive council, the Supreme Court, the Chief of Police, etc. Voting rights were limited to those who could read and write and paid taxes. The Foraker Act was a law intended for the U.S. government to rule Puerto Rico politically. In 1917, the Jones-Shafrot Act was passed, so that Puerto Ricans would become American citizens which allowed the U.S. government to draft Puerto Ricans for World War I. The Jones Act of 1917 paved the way for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It was eventually signed into law that allowed for a democratic referendum that would allow Puerto Ricans to draft their own constitution if they desired with congressional approval. The law led Puerto Rico into “Commonwealth” status written by then resident commissioner Luis Munoz Marin himself, “The Architect of the Commonwealth.” In an article titled “Let Puerto Rico Decide How To End Its Colony Status” by Rosalinda Dejesus quoted United States Secretary of the Interior when he said: “The bill (to permit Puerto Rico to write its own constitution) merely authorizes the people of Puerto Rico to adopt their own constitution and to organize a local government…The bill under consideration would not change Puerto Rico’s political, social, and economic relationship to the United States.” Some accuse the Public Law 600 as a tool to continue Puerto Rico's colonial status by the Nationalist Party. Many uprisings have occurred in Puerto Rico because of this and other reasons. There are numerous political parties in Puerto Rico. Public Law 600 has been filled with controversy. The Statehood party was divided on the issue and the Socialists supported Public Law 600. Commonwealth status is still subject to U.S. Federal Law. The Commonwealth status became law on the anniversary of the U.S. invasion on July 25, 1952. Not only Commonwealth status became law which led Puerto Rico to become more dependent on the U.S. government. It became an area still ruled heavily by America. Still, Puerto Rico has a great history and great culture indeed. There is no question about it.
Kwame Ture was a revolutionary figure. His usage of Black Power was not just about attacking tokenism, liberal establishment patronage, and unconditional nonviolence. It was a critique of the established order and mainstream capitalism as well. For you have to look at both race and class as a means to see the bigger picture on how the world works economically and politically. Kwame Ture inspired may black human beings in the Jim Crow South and the ghettos of the North. Kwame Ture did not want Black Power to be some black wing of the Democratic Party, because he rejected the Democratic Party after its treatment of African Americans in the South. This doesn't mean that he was a Republican either because we all know what the Republicans are all about. Enough said. That is why many sincere black leaders rejected the Republicans rightfully, but allied with mainstream bourgeois Democratic Party politics (as a means to get some concessions). Ultimately, a concession benefits the enemy since the enemy administers it. In our time, we still have imperialism and militarization of society domestically. When you become older while living in the Earth, you see that real change never comes within a system that is immoral and corrupt. Change can only come by ending that wicked system and creating a better system which can benefit all of the people. At the end of the day, it is all about the people. It is important to realize that since the Maafa began, black brothers and black sisters used arms to fight for their freedom. There is nothing wrong or sinful to use arms to fight for freedom as long as innocent human beings are never harmed with arms at all. Kwame Ture was a man. We should use his legacy as inspiration to carry forward with our lives. The threats are still here against our people. The battle is not over yet, but we should continue to fight and struggle for freedom completely.

Study On Women Breadwinners Ignites Verbal Brawl On Fox News [VIDEO]

The American Family is, and has always been dysfunctional. White America loves to scandalize black people about their high rate of out of wedlock births, and their single parent families. However, America has always had an high amount of children born to unmarried parents. It was also an acceptable practice for married men to have mistresses and to frequent prostitutes. There were certainly so called illegitimate births from these unions. There was also an epidemic of venereal disease throughout America and Europe because of it. At the end of 1890, for example, urban areas were littered with cocaine vials. Middle class house wives were prone to drug addiction. There were 12 year old prostitutes, 11 year old gang members and 16 year old killers. And we are not talking about black people here.
You can read about this in a book called, "The Way We Never Were". Its author is Stephanie Coontz, and was referenced by the late, great African American psychologist, Amos Wilson. In an online article titled "The American Family," Ms. Coontz reveals the following about the 1950's,
Excerpt:
"Rates of unwed childbearing tripled between 1940 and 1958, but most Americans didn't notice because unwed mothers generally left town, gave their babies up for adoption and returned home as if nothing had happened. Troubled youths were encouraged to drop out of high school. Mentally handicapped children were warehoused in institutions like the Home for idiotic and Imbecilic Children in Kansas, where a woman whose sister had lived there for most of the 1950s once took me."
"Wives routinely told pollsters that being disparaged or ignored by their husbands was a normal part of a happier-than-average marriage. Denial extended to other areas of life as well. In the early 1900s doctors refused to believe that the cases of gonorrhea and
syphilis they saw in young girls could have been caused by sexual abuse. Instead, they reasoned, girls could get these diseases from toilet seats, a myth that terrified generations of mothers and daughters. In the 1950s, psychiatrists dismissed incest reports as Oedipal fantasies on the part of children. Spousal rape was legal throughout the period, and wife beating was not taken seriously by authorities."
"Much of what we now label child abuse was accepted as a normal part of parental discipline. Physicians saw no reason to question parents who claimed that their child's broken bones had been caused by a fall from a tree. Thingsmom
worse at the turn at the Last century than they are today. Most workers labored 10 hours a day, six days a week, leaving little time for family life".

Most of what the average American knows about history is based on Hollywood movies. John Wayne, whose real name was Marion Morrison was a draft dodger and a janitor. His entire persona was a creation of Hollywood. The Whole Hollywood version of a cowboy is a lie. As most of you know 1/3 of all cowboys were black and Mexican. Most of what is declared as truth in mass media is a lie. Certainly we of all people should know this.
Weekend Updates for June 1, 2013
We still have a current world economic depression. We know succinctly the causes of it. There was the world derivatives panic of the fall of 2008. Many British and U.S. banking systems have experienced bankruptcy. Soon, the 2010 European banking panic came about under the guise of a sovereign debt crisis. Austerity is still being executed by the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and the European Commission. The economies of Europe and the U.S. has been depressed or stagnated. That is why this slowdown is even spreading into Brazil, China, and India. Even Japan has economic uncertainty. Some in Iceland wanted to vote back the same reactionary political leaders that created the wild speculation in the first place (after Iceland's economic recovery). Today, we lived under the Occupy Movement and the Tea Party. Both movements seek to handle affairs in a populist fashion in their opinions. Ron Paul was an ally of the Tea Party movement. He acted an auxiliary knowingly or unknowingly for the Romney Presidential campaign, because his actions ended the alternative Republican campaigns to Mitt Romney. That is why some in the Tea Party pretended to act populist. Some of them disagreed with Wall Street Bailouts. Yet, they refused to call for a guaranteed annual income. They refuse to call for health care to be a human right beyond a privilege for the few. Some of them are aided by the reactionary billionaire Koch brothers. The BRICS block countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa want to form their own BRICS development bank. This could challenge the monopoly of international lending maintained by the IMF and the World Bank (both groups now are strangling world economic development and looting the world's economies for the interests of Wall Street including the City of London). If BRICS could rescue Egypt and do other things, then this could be a revolution in international affairs. So, we still have the scourges of neoliberalism, monetarism, and globalization in the world that must be opposed via strength and determination. Younger Americans have been harmed by the over $1.1 trillion student loan debt. This is higher than all forms of household debt except for home mortgages. Rock bottom interest rates are opposed by reactionary Republicans and Wall Street Democrats of the Obama faction. The average bachelor’s degree is accompanied by about $35,000 of debt. Advanced degrees easily generate $75,000 of debt. Degrees in law and medicine routinely exceed $100,000. That is why some Congress people like the new Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, long regarded by anti-Wall Street forces as the most promising politician in the Democratic Party, has now come forward with a bill to cut student loan interest rates to about .075%, representing a reduction of almost 90%. She wants this debt to be paid for by the Federal Reserve System, which her bill orders to fund new loans administered by the Secretary of Education. This is similar to the other populist proposals made by some as a means to improve society in general. An economic recovery that is funded by cheap long term credit for infrastructure, agriculture, and manufacturing provided by de-privatized banking services is fine with me. The media is not reporting succinctly about the Warren proposal at all. The years ahead will be interesting. All of these events will figure in seeing if a mass strike will come or real, economic improvements will transpire in the world. Privatized prisons and the mainstream capitalist movement are linked as well. This is the shocking gun that refutes the notion that capitalism is God basically. The war on Drugs has been used as a means to have militarization, wars, and a violation of human liberties against men, women, and children. The prison industrial complex benefits from mass unemployment and crime (because the more folks in prisons, the more profit that these prisons can receive. It is a sick dynamic indeed). Some Wall Street interests are benefited with drug money as well not just violent cartels. The international elite assault nations and the American workers including its institutions. The big banks have massive influence on our political systems. The state has seized constitutional or human rights and the war on terror is big business for corporate interests (at the expense of the poor and the rest of humanity).
The FBI shot and killed Ibragim Todashev. Is this a man who knew too much? He was a 27 year old Chechen immigrant. He was killed after being interrogated for days about the Boston Marathon bombings and has been unarmed. The official story by the government about the attacks has been questioned left and right. The FBI said that Todashev was shot, because he lunged at interrogators with a knife. Yet, one report said that Todashev was unarmed. A press conference in Moscow had the murdered man's father Abdulbaki Todashev speaking. He presented the public with numerous photographs of his son's body taken at a Florida morgue. It showed that he had been shot six times in the torso and once in the crown of his head. “I would like to say that looking at these photos is like being in a movie,” he said. “I only saw things like that in movies; shooting a person, and then the kill shot. Six shots in the body, one of them in the head,” He added: “Maybe my son knew something, some information the police did not want to be made public. Maybe they wanted to silence my son.” Todashev was a mixed martial arts fighter. He knew Tamerian Tsarnaev or the Boston bombing suspect. Tamerian was killed by the police on April 19. They were both ethnic Chechens and used the same gym when Todashev lived in the Boston area. The death of Todashev signifies deception or a cover up. The FBI admitted that they shot to death an unarmed man. That is why civil rights groups and Todashev's widow including his family is calling for an independent investigation into the killing. The Council on American-Islamic Relations held a press conference in Orlando calling for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to launch a probe into how “an unarmed man who had not been charged or convicted of anything was shot seven times, once in the head.” At the press conference in Moscow, Zaurbek Sadakhanov of the Moscow International Bar Association stated his belief that the case was one of extrajudicial execution and urged Todashev’s friend, who had taken the morgue photos, to return to Russia. “Being a witness in the US is not safe,” he said. Before he died, Todashev was talking to the FBI about the Boston bombing. At first the FBI and the police said that Todashev tried to lunge at interrogators with a knife. Some sources once said that one FBI agent was stabbed with a knife when he was unarmed. The questioned occurred in Todashev's apartment. He was held prisoner and denied representation by a lawyer. The FBI claimed that he was shot just before signing the alleged confession of working with the Tsarnaev brothers in creating the Boston Marathon bombings. Yet, there is another story. Todashev’s housemate, Khusen Taramov, has told the media that he had been questioned together with Todashev up until the last eight-hour session in which he was murdered. He said the issue of the murders in Massachusetts was never raised. “They were asking different questions like how did we meet these guys [the Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar], the kind of relationship we had with the guys.” Similarly, Todashev’s widow, Reni Manukyan, 24, said that all of the questioning, to which she too was subjected, was about the Boston bombings, and no one asked her or her husband about the killings in 2011. “The interviews were always about Tsarnaev and the bombings,” she said. “How did we know him and what was the relationship with him.” As Todashev’s father put it in an interview with the Boston Globe from Russia, “They killed my son and then they made up a reason to explain it.” Why would the FBI and other intelligence plus police officer lie about the murder of Todashev? The cold blooded murder deserves answers. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who survived the shootout with police, has, according to his mother, spoken with her for the first time and has denied involvement in the bombing. Dzhokhar was severely injured after a boat he was hiding in, unarmed, and was shot up by police. He is currently being held in a Massachusetts prison hospital facing the capital charge of using a weapon of mass destruction. We know one thing. Many of these events regardless if they were manufactured terrorism or not, some of the alleged perpetrators had ties to U.S. or Western intelligence. Tamerlan Tsarnev was known to Russian security officials. They alerted the FBI and the CIA in 2011 about the danger he was involved with Islamic terrorism. The Saudi authorities issued a similar warning to the States. The FBI allowed him to return from the Russian region. Chechyna is known to have Islamist separatists fighting with Russia in the 1990's. U.S. intelligence has funded Islamist separatist forces for years. They have funded terrorist proxy groups in Libya and Syria. Much of the war on terror has the FBI using entrapment or the terrorists have strange links to the intelligence community. Regardless if the Boston bombings were an inside job or not, they have been used as a pretext for the state to execute an unprecedented lockdown of an entire metropolitan area of democratic rights (that was a military coup dry run). When you look at the FBI murder of Ibragim Todashev, you see America allowing the military and intelligence community power over the rights of the people. Our civil liberties have been assaulted with these state killings indeed.
The American killed fighting for Syrian rebels had an Al-Qaeda flag. The terrorist makeup of the Syria opposition has been underscored by the mainstream media all of the time. An American woman and 2 other westerners were killed fighting on the side of the FSA rebels in Syria. They were found with the Al-Nusra flag or the Al-Qaeda group that killed U.S. troops in Iraq and has become the primary fighting force in the country. “TV footage showed a bullet-riddled car and three bodies laid out. It also showed weapons, a computer, a hand-drawn map of a government military facility and a flag belonging to the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front,” reports the CNN. The American woman was later identified as 33 year old Nicole Lynn Mansfield, from Michigan. The Al-Nusra connection again underscores the point that while Britain and France plan to arm rebels after an EU ban was lifted, opposition militants fighting in Syria are becoming increasingly extremist, radicalized and dominated by foreign jihadists. Jabhat al-Nusra is the now leading front force in Syria. They are commanding other rebel groups as FSA rebels defect to the terrorist group in droves. Soon after the State Department declared Jabhat al-Nusra a terrorist organization, 29 different FSA rebel outfits pledged allegiance to the Al-Qaeda group. In April, the leader of Al-Nusra formally pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda. NATO have shown their best efforts to try to portray the FSA and Jabhat al-Nusra as separate entities, but the so-called moderate FSA rebels are now mimicking Al-Nusra's behavior (like in a recent video which showed an FSA fighter cutting out the heart of a Syrian soldier and biting into it). FSA wants to see the Al-Qaeda flag fly over the White House once they are successful in the region. They made songs that glorify the CIA asset Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks and even naming their units the "Bin Laden brigade." FSA rebels have ransacked Christian churches and burning U.S. including Israeli flag in public in more than one occasion. This is not about the morality of burning flags, but the West being hypocrites (in claiming to love America but agree with rebels burning their own flags). The reality that the Syrian opposition is now replete with bloodthirsty terrorists has turned public opinion squarely against arming the rebels, but NATO powers and the United States are still seriously considering supplying heavy weaponry in light of Russia’s decision to green light the delivery of six S-300 air defense systems to Syria under a 2010 contract. The last American found to be fighting on the same side as FSA rebels was U.S. Army veteran Eric Harroun. He joined up with Al-Nusra in Syria. He was arrested by FBI agents on his return to the U.S. and charged with using a rocket propelled grenade launcher on behalf of an Al-Qaeda affiliated group. Harroun's father claimed that his son has been working for the CIA. The CIA is known to fund terrorists for decades across the Earth. In March, the New York Times reported that the CIA has been conducting, “a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad,” since early 2012. Matthew Vandyke fought alongside al-Qaeda terrorists in both Libya and Syria. He gave lectures in D.C. back in March. He originally wanted to join the CIA and later called himself a freedom fighter. “Why westerners were fighting the Syrian government alongside Al Qaeda “rebels” is not known. What is known is that tomorrow front pages across the nation will be blasting “American woman killed in Syria” and the ensuing thirst for revenge will be just the missing link needed by the administration, in lieu of having found no weapons of mass destruction, to escalate the conflict even further,” writes Zero Hedge. Turkey supports the Syrian rebels as well. Turkey has a neoliberal privatization agenda especially when it is found in Istanbul. Turkey's own citizens have protested Turkey backing NATO backed terrorists in Syria and other issues. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey wants more influence in the Middle East and the EU in exchange for their support of terrorists in the Middle East. Back then, Erdogan was having almost daily talks with President Obama while he was being wooed into the scheme. Turkish police have used water in attacking the Turkish protesters wanting real changes in Turkey. Webster Tarpley is right to mention that the West has exploited the Arab Spring as a means to destabilize the nation states of the Middle East.
Police brutality is always evil. The Florida teen was slammed to the ground by cops for giving stares. The 14 year old Tremaine McMillian was slammed to the ground and put in a chokehold over the Memorial Day weekend. The cops said that the kid gave the Miami-Dade cops "dehumanizing stares." The police didn't approve of his body language and reacted violently to his failure to obey commands. The teen's mother captured the incident on her cell phone. The teen said that his only crime was ignoring the police and walking away. "I feel that should never have happened,” he told CBS Miami. “I don’t like it. I feel sad. He got in front of me on the ATC and he slammed my hand. Then he started choking me.” McMillian said his dog was injured during the takedown on Haulover Beach in Miami. “I ran over with my son and used my cell phone when I saw my son and he couldn’t breathe,” said Maurissa Holmes, the teen’s mother. “There was no reason to slam him on the ground like that the way they did. He’s a child, not an adult. For them to jump off their ATV and do this, this is wrong. I want justice. You don’t do that to a child.” The incident occurred after police said McMillian was involved in an incident with another teen. The police “told him that behavior was unacceptable,” said Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta. “He walked away and officers followed him. They asked where his parents were. He said he was not going to take them to them. When he started to leave the beach area, officers had to get off their ATVs to detain him. He had closed arms, clenched fists and pulled his arm away.” “Once he was approaching the road, the officers restrained him. Again his body language was that he was stiffening up and pulling away,” said Zabaleta. “Now you’re resisting officers at that point and when the hands are swinging and you are resisting officers, at that point you have to be taken into custody.” “Of course we have to neutralize the threat,” added Zabaleta. “When you have somebody resistant to them and pulling away and somebody clenching their fists and flailing their arms, that’s a threat.” McMillian was arrested and charged with resisting arrest with violence, a felony,. He was also charged with disorderly conduct. This incident is how much of the police interact with the public. Many cops show the public little respect and the try to intimidate society as a means to expressed their power (which is limited as compared to global multinational corporations). Some cops will act like a Gestapo if you refuse to bow to then like a slave. McMillian did not pose a violent threat to the police. He simply refused to obey orders and when confronted, he reacted with so-called “dehumanizing stares,” a crime that resulted in a felony charge. Even in the early 1990's, some in the mainstream media questioned the militarization of local cops. Now, most of the mainstream media glamorize or even love the militarization of the police nationwide.
Old School Hollywood has much controversy and even wickedness just like the Hollywood of today. Don't get things twisted because those back in the day did a lot of dirt. It is only in our time that real researchers have exposed Old School Hollywood's evil for the world to see. Tim Adler's book on Hollywood wrote about how Hollywood factions have been allied with the Mafia (among those in the Mafia from many backgrounds like Sicilians and Jewish human beings). He wrote that the Mafia funded Hollywood studios as well and invested in some of the movies. The director of the first great mobster film, Scarface, invited a Mafioso to advise on making the action more realistic; he invited Al Capone to view the rushes. We know that Frank Sinatra was once a Mob insider. George Raft worked with the Mafia too. Joseph Kennedy was involved in the bootlegging business with factions of Al Capone. He borrowed Mafia money to set up in the movie business. Yet, when you research the secrets of Hollywood, those behind the scenes have done more evil or wickedness than the old school actors and actresses in Hollywood indeed. Hollywood deals with propaganda, and even hypnosis. Hypnosis is manipulation via certain stimuli as a means to achieve a result among the masses. Hollywood by its very definition utilize stimuli, movies, fame, celebrities, etc. as a means to culturally control as much of the masses as possible (beyond profit, which is the essence of mainstream capitalistic system today). Now, for millennia, hypnosis has been common by ancient shamans, ancient Egyptian Sleep Temples, and the rest of the occult world. Masonic Lodges love hypnotism. One of the easiest examples to get folks to wake up about the nefarious nature of Hollywood is to talk about Walt Disney. Just look at the little children who participate in Disney then and now. Look at the history of Walt Disney in real life. Walt Disney forced his workers to adhere to a strict dress code, but his life is filled with controversy. His supporters claimed that he was not anti-Semitic, but he allied with an anti-Semitic organization temporarily. He is known for funding films with stereotypical images of African Americans in cartoons and films throughout the 20th century. Walt Disney was an ally of Ronald Reagan. Both men were either Freemasons or in Masonic groups. Reagan was a FBI informant and Disney has been accused of being a FBI informant too. Walt Disney and Ronald Reagan worked together as a means to make Reagan Governor of California. Walt Disney worked in the McCarthyism scare as a means to accuse many progressives as Communists. In the final analysis, Hollywood has been ruled by the white supremacist agenda since its inception. It allowed the marginalization of human beings of color beyond just the Birth of a Nation film. Some in Hollywood have mistreated women heavily from Dorothy Dandridge, Jayne Mansfield, and Marilyn Monroe. You know full well that a wicked root can never produce a good tree. A bad tree can never produce good fruit. Its roots, tree, and fruits of Hollywood has been corrupted since its inception.

Crammasters' Words and Advice

Black people (and other non-whites) including the first black prez do NOT have the power to discriminate against whites in a white supremacy system (like America) -- because white people are still pulling the strings, regardless of title or position or how big a black person's house or car or bankroll is.
Even in the case of so-called affirmative action, WHITE PEOPLE STILL DECIDE HOW THE POLICY IS PRACTICED and WHO BENEFITS and WHO IS PENALIZED -- and the proof is even the US Justice Department stated that white females benefited the most from affirmative action.
In my earlier posts, I stated a definition for racism (there is only one kind of racism: WHITE RACISM; therefore only white people have the power to practice it; therefore ONLY white people can be racists).
If you (or anyone else disagrees) with this statement, you should be able to answer the following question:
Name one thing that black people – as a group -- have stopped white people – as a group -- from doing that they had a RIGHT to do? For example, denying them the right to work, own a home, live in a certain area, get a fair trial, an education, or use any public facility.
So far, I have NEVER received a response to this question

I know EXACTLY who Tom Sawyer is (and was) and I repeat he was a RACIST masquerading as some sort of white liberator/writer.
Re my ignorance
EVERYTHING I have stated is factual.
The history of white people toward black and other non-white people is documented and is easily proven and my PROOF is certainly more recent than "half-a century ago."
I don't know what rock (or cave) you have been living under, but if you don't know that racism didn't end 50 years ago, this conversation is pointless.
What I find interesting when white people lurk around threads like this, is how easily they are offended by the TRUTH and how quick they are to name call rather than prove their points that disprove what is written.

If my definition of racism is "moot," why don't you answer that question.

regarding your example of Black Panthers wearing military gear in front of a polling place:
did they harm anyone?
did they lynch anyone?
did they use firehoses and dogs on anyone?
was anyone prevented from going inside the polling place?
was anyone's votes thrown away (like the ONE MILLION BLACK VOTES THAT WERE DISCARDED in the 2000 Presidential election)? (google it if you doubt it)
was anyone told by the Black Panthers that they couldn't vote without a certain type of ID? (like some black voters were told in 2000 and 2004 by white polling officials?)
so bottom line, you think some BM dressed in military gear are as powerful as the white people who control the polling places, select the election judges, choose the black box voting machine manufacturers, and ultimately count the votes?
if that's the case there is no use carrying this any further..
but i would still like an answer to that question i asked about black people COLLECTIVELY stopping white people COLLECTIVELY from living, working, and playing where they want.
I suspect you -- like most white people -- know that white racism/white privilege dictates the quality of life for your kind and non-whites, but you can't stand for your VICTIMS to call you on it. But that's cool, we're figuring that S out and once we do -- GAME OVER

white folks like John Prewett aren't interested in facts, they're interested in distorting them to erase their own barbaric history of oppression, exploitation, murder, rape, and thievery against the non-white people on the planet
The ONLY stats they can point to are economic street crimes largely by poor blacks
and as any cut-rate sociologist can tell you -- poverty + adverse social conditions + inferior schools = CRIME. It's the SAME formula that works for white folks as many Italians, Polish, and Irish immigrants (and their descendants) can testify to
during the late 1800s and early 1900s, European immigrants -- most of who were POOR, UNEDUCATED, and ILLITERATE -- and were KNOWN for being the FIRST when it comes to drive by shootings, the first street gangs, the first urban slums, the first reform schools AND the FIRST DRUG DEALERS (starting with illegal booze).
Bottom line, the long list of crimes by whites of EVERY INCOME/EDUCATION GROUP far exceed the crimes of the black poor.
For example, no poor blacks have robbed millions of their homes, their pensions, the jobs, and their peace of mind. Poor blacks have never bombed a nation, started a war, committed genocide upon millions, created any weapons of mass destruction, or biological weapons, or global pollution, and the premature (manmade) extinction of species, or the widespread pollution of food, water and air.
You want a definition of violence on a GLOBAL SCALE?
Look in the dictionary and I bet you won't see a black face anywhere on that page.

and you'll see what I mean...s
