10 week military police siege on chicago citizens
there have been a lot of shooting & murders in chicago this year. in fact the chicago police department has been responsible for 29 of them. apparently, the new chief of police thinks the only way to combat all of the violence isn't better schools [with happy, well paid teachers], or more effective community centers, or even access to jobs that pay real living wages...nope, its mashall law that will keep us safe.
police in the streets throughout chicago armed with m16s & wearing "military-style" uniforms.
unfortunately, this same police state phenomenon has swept the nation & hit a few major u.s. cities recently including the nation's capital washington d.c.
somehow i always knew that things like this would start happening all over...so slowly that people would begin to accept their lack of civil liberties & human rights as being the normal status quo for all of society.
does anyone have any suggestions on how we should go about making sure that our city remains a demilitarized zone? there have been a lot of shooting & murders in chicago this year. in fact the chicago police department has been responsible for 2... more -
You Haven't Done Nothin'...Where has all the (political) music gone?
Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfiled, Joanie Mitchell, John Lennon and Bob Marley. Where are they today?
There used to be time, not too long ago, when music, a songwriter and then radio was a politicians worst nightmare. Music has always been a powerful medium for social change, whether it was about, poverty, women rights,human rights, racial tension, war, or the ecology.I'm not sure if it was the disco movement or when, but somewhere down the line, people stop listen to the radio reasons other than, liking how a song sound. Radio music used to be the voice of the people. Artist stood up for a cause other than glorification of themselves. The record industry has sold us out. Our children now have to choose betwwen Lil' Wayne, Justin Timberlake and who ever else is out there trying to become rich and famous by the time they're twenty five.
In 1975 Stevie Wonder wrote a song called, " You Haven't Done Nothin". The song was about the tenure of then president, Richard Nixon. Artist back then would challenge politicians on there job performances, after all, they were elected officials. We, the people had elected them. The song drove Nixon into a corner and along with Watergate, eventually drove Nixon out of office. The IRS, true enough, did come after Stevie, but he survived. Mostly all artist, up until the 80's displayed social consciousness in their music and lyrics back then. If they do today, where are they, and why aren't they on the radio. All we hear is, "Radio Ga Ga"
Feel free to comment on this post, if you will, with a song by an artist that you feel is saying something to help make us better people and the world a better place, or just comment. Songs will always be much more powerful than one voice. That's why they still let us sing "The Star Spangled Banner" ( Try Youtube.)

Bob Marley once survived an assassination attempt. Was he always a CIA target ?
Son of the late CIA director William Colby, Carl Colby met Bob Marley backstage, at a concert in Kingston Jamaica in 1976. He gave Bob a pair of boots as a gift. When Marley tried the boots on, he screamed in pain. Apparently a sharp piece of cooper protruding through the upper sole, stuck him in his big toe. Five months later, while playing soccer, he hurt the same toe and the nail came off. After visiting a local doctor, it determine the toe could not be saved. Rastas don't believe in amputation, instead thinking Jah would heal the toe. By the end of 1977, the cancer would begin to spread throughout his body and it eventually would claim his life in 1981.
His former "Wailer" band mate, Peter Tosh, was gunned down at his Jamaican home, later in 1986, in a so-called robbery. While Tosh's wife was critcally wounded, two of his band members died alongside him that night. Oddly though, nothing was stolen. Two of the three gunmen got away. The lone captured is serving a life sentence for his part and to this day will not speak about the murder. The people of Jamaica now call this an assassination. Both Tosh and Marley both sang songs of revolution. Bob put music to the speech given by Ethiopia's Haile Selassie during his invitation to the United Nations, while addressing the world's problem of oppression. Marley was actually warned later by the CIA,that if he did return to Jamaica before Government elections were held, he would be assassinated. No other musician, including John Lennon, has been able to rally the higher consciousness of people of all races, religions, and cultures from all nations to stand up to tyranny, and live right by themselves for the brotherhood of all mankind. Some still believe today that his music transcended the non-violent message of Ghandi and Dr. King because, while Marley sang about universal love, he also told us to "Get Up and Stand Up For Your Rights". To some, this made Bob Marley an international threat that had to be silenced. Son of the late CIA director William Colby, Carl Colby met Bob Marley backstage, at a concert in Kingston Jamaica in 1976. He gave Bob... more -

Mainstream media is blocking calls impeachment from the floors of the United States Senate and The United States House of Representatives. Who does control the media ?

How can the president and his vice president, Dick Chaney refuse to testify ? Image what would have happened if the former president, Bill Clinton, had refuse to testify in his impeachment hearings ?

Former referee says that NBA games are fixed by the league front office
Disgraced former NBA referee, Tim Donaghy says that the league front office is conspiring with league officials to fix games, in particular, NBA play-off games.In 2005, Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban was so angry after the Maverick seven game loss to the Miami Heat, in which the Mavs led by seven points with less than forty seconds to go in the game, but lost by three points on questionable calls against Heat star Dwayne Wade, that he wanted to sell the team six months after the series was over. He could not digest his anger. Cuban said then, that the NBA was fixed.NBA comissioner, David Stern later convinced him to change his mind.
For years, many star players including Detroit Piston center, Rasheed Wallace has claimed that league referees target him, along with other star players for nonsense touch fouls, to set the tempo of the games. As expected. David Stern is denying all allegations claiming, Donaghy is desperately trying to create a stir with federal investigators and the public, to cut a deal him for, perhaps time off from his twenty five year sentence he recieved for being convicted fixing games himself.Donaghy was indicted and convicted last year after it eas discoverd that he had been heavily involved in a major gambling ring with bookies out of Las Vegas.

Senator John McCain is like an old wooden ventriloquist doll, who obviously is being told what to say and what to do. It's sadly amazing that the only people that fall for this act, live in the United States of America. Most people just refused to believe that what we are seeing is truly happening. Why ?

God Is Not Enough !
If you're spiritual, you really shouldn't need religion. Preachers, Pastors, Priest, Imans and Rabbi's are really just a bunch of trouble-makers who insist on getting their way. God is so loving that he kicked us out of paradise for eating off of the tree of knowledge(Life). If you're spiritual, you really shouldn't need religion.

Hinckley Sr. And Bush Sr. Were Business Partners / Reagan Said Secret Service Shot...
Ronald Reagan told the Associated Press that a Secret Service agent shot him when he landed on him in the limousine, while appearing to pose as a cover against John Hinckley's gunfire. He said before then,"I knew that I was not hit.When Jerry landed on me , was the first time that I felt pain at all" At that time , he said that he then felt like he had been hit by a hammer..He ordered his own Secret Service of off his door at the hospital while recovering.He and his family brought in U.S. Navy Guards to watch his room entry, until he was released. Reagan told family members that George Bush Sr. had ordered the assasination attempt. Bush was forced on him as a running mate by Henry Kissinnger and David Rockefeller. After recovering from the shooting, Reagan became a passive President,while behind closed doors, George Bush ran the Oval office.Hinkley's brother was scheduled to have lunch with Neil Bush that following day after the shooting.
Remember the scene at his funeral when Nancy Reagan blantanly refused to allow Bush Jr. to hold her hand or touch her. Ronald Reagan told the Associated Press that a Secret Service agent shot him when he landed on him in the limousine, while appearing t... more -

Not so fast.Before we decide that's it's wrong, racist, and unfair to call Mexican immigrants illegal, maybe we should first find out who really is coming in through our borders,where they are really coming from, and what their true agenda is. Maybe we should stop being so naive about everybody that comes here, realize and admit the possibilty that our borders are in serious danger and are under seige !

George Bush's private army back In Iraq and now being unleashed here in Ameri...
Blackwater is the private security,and American government's mercenary group that was found guilty of humanitarian crimes that included the unprovoked murders of a countless number of unarmed Iraqi civilians.They had been kicked out of Iraq. Their stories were told on 60 Minutes and other mainstream media outlets in this country.What's not being told is that,not only have they been sent back to patrol the streets of Iraq, but that the right-wing,fundamental Christian sponsored, mercenary group is now being unleashed in the city streets of America.
It apparently didn't bother Americans that much when that were using Iraqi civilians as target practice to sharping their killing skills.What will Americans say when they find out that these,"found guilty" mercenaries are being sent our cities to patrol the streets,by this,"shadow government,that most Americans claim does not really exist.Our congressman or senators of this government say that ,they themselves, have no knowledge as to who does control and monitor Blackwater.So who does oversee these so-called private security groups like Blackwater,and since they have immunity from prosecution,who do they answer to.
Since2001,the Bush administration has funded Blackwater with than one billion dollars for private contracts throughout the world,while over one hundred billion dollars are awarded to in military defense contracts to private security companies every year,around the world.The average salary for a Blackwater secuity agent is around twelve hundred dollars a day.That's six times more than the salary that the American soldiers are being paid to fight the same war. In addition to this,the new Iraqi constituttion that the American government help the Iraqis write, no longer has the authority to expell Blackwater and other private security firms from their own country.
