Retribution & Death Comes Home To Roost:


God Is Great, shouted Nidal Malik Hasan a US Psycho therapist Captain, based in Fort Hood-Texas. Just before he started firing his two hand guns, in a close area or space, where military families and soldiers sought medical assistance and other related medical assistance on that base.

The killer was able to kill that many people because his weapon was an automatic firearm, and in such a densely populated and enclose space, there was no difficulty to get as many victims as possible, before he was put down by the security personnel there.

Some are wondering WHY did he do it?

This cry of surprise was voiced several times before in America, whenever such killings happen, even though this one is unique, but the history is similar.

America is an occupier of two Moslem oriented countries. We are fighting and killing thousands of Muslims in Iraq & Afghanistan on a daily basis. The people in those regions are not too concerned about our reason/s for being there, all they see are foreigners, who are from a Christian hemisphere, killing Moslems brothers and sisters, while in occupation of their countries.

Under Islam, their is a Hadith that says, when fellow Muslims are in trouble, or are being victimized, all Muslims are obliged to come to their aid or rescue. Because it is perceived that any aggression towards Muslims anywhere, is an aggression to Muslims everywhere!

That is the concept or perception of every Muslim, who elects to indulge in some suicide or Jihad murder or killing, in sympathy with his fellow Muslim brothers and sisters.

Westerners & Christian Oriented Countries Must Acknowledge this reality, if they intend to deal with the Islamic world, and Muslims generally.

Who Are America's Middle Class?

November 05-2009:


Who Are America's Middle Class?


The Traditional Middle Class:

These were the people who occupied the level that was identifiable and achievable, like the following.

* Factory and Industrial manufacturing workers who earned above average income per week or month.

* Was able to save and provide the funds for their children to attend college.

* Was able to plan for a vacation every year, save for retirement.

* Pay or get a mortgage for the acquisition of their own home.

* Own their own car or family vehicle, for personal use or transportation.

The New Middle Class:

These are the new White Collar professional and Commercial elites that tend to be employed in large Banking Institutions, Insurance Companies that transcend regional and global boundaries, Traders, Brokers, and Wall Street Investors.

* These people earn very large salaries, and enormous bonuses or commissions, for their clever and sometimes very risky investments and dealings.

* Most own several homes, yachts, travel extensively abroad on business or for pleasure, indulge their insatiable appetites for pleasure, and snob those who earn much less than they do, most of the time.

The US Could Never Be An Impartial Arbiter In The Palestinian Conflict:

The US Could Never Be An Impartial Arbiter In The Palestinian Conflict!


Hillary Clinton said that the Obama administration will not press Israel to cease settlement building, in order for the Peace Process to continue any longer. The settlements are Illegal, under International law.

Well, if this is not selling out the Palestinians, what is?

This hypocrisy is endemic to the politics of whoever occupies The White House, when it comes to Palestinian Rights, Security and Justice.

And until the American people hold their government accountable for allowing a terrorist government in Israel from treating the Palestinians with impunity. There will and can be no REAL peace in that region.


I am truly disappointed with this development, and my continual support for the Obama Administration will be discontinued with immediate effect, pending some serious reflection.

Brazil's Endemic Social-Ethnic & Judicial Dilemma!

Brazil's Endemic Social-Ethnic & Judicial Dilemma!

Brazil historically, was colonized by the Portuguese, who brought Black slaves via the Slave Trading Routes, via The Caribbean into Brazil. Even when slavery was abolished in most of Latin & Central America, Brazil still had their internal slave system going.

It took several years after the rest of the Western hemisphere ceased using Blacks on their plantations, for Brazil to follow suit.

This endemic prejudice against anything Black or People Of color, permeates the entire society. eg.,

* Blacks or People Of Color in Brazil have little or no access to higher education.

* The Elementary schooling for Blacks/People Of Color, are of a sub-standard level.

* And Blacks/People Of Color, are less likely to get good jobs that pay a living wage, more likely to janitorial jobs, waiters in restaurants, and cleaning jobs.

* The good or Prestigious Hotels that cater to tourists are Off Limits to Black Brazilians for employment. Those who do get in, are placed in the background, for janitorial, cleaning, and laundering.

President Lula recently introduced legislation to improve the educational opportunities for Black Brazilians. You may call this move, 'equalizing the playing field for Blacks,' just like America did with college educational opportunities for Blacks.

The Judiciary:

The Police in Brazil have arbitrary powers to arrest, harass, and even Kill Blacks in the Favellas/Ghetto districts.
Whenever the Police is called in to attend some crime incident, gang violence, or shoot out within these communities.

They operate as though all residents therein are GUILTY, and they behave in such a manner, as to convey impunity of conduct.

NEWS FROM MY PERSPECTIVES-26


October 25-2009:


What If All Newspapers Stopped Publishing?

Then we will continue to rely on the Man On The Street observers and reporters, via Phone and Video cameras. This will not be the End Of The World, like some journalists purports.

The Internet has changed the way we seek out information, and the variety of perspectives, that hitherto was not available to us all.

That is why so many people use the Internet as another source for information gathering.

And that is how the birth of Internet Bloggers got their debut.


Governor General Hamid Karzai's Dilemma!

Unfortunately, president Obama has inherited this 'Stool Pigeon,' and will have to find some way to work with his corrupt government.

However, Afghans generally do not want the US & N.A.T.O. military personnel there. Unless they are helping to develop that country. All fighting foreign military personnel are UN-WELCOMED there.

But president Obama will never pull out US troops on his presidential watch. He fears loosing his popularity, and that may prevent him from being re-elected in 2010

So he will pacify that country, make more promises to Americans, pretend that all is going in his favor over there, until the end of his term

Native American Indigenous Leader Mr. Peltier:

Native American Peltier is just one incident in America, that contradicts the pretense that it is a Fair and Just society under the Laws.

STAND UP WORKERS & CITIZENS OF FRANCE!

STAND UP WORKERS & CITIZENS OF FRANCE!

The 25Th French worker suicide in France Telecoms. Where is the inner Strength, and Fortitude. You should take some cues from the Iraqi's Palestinians, Afghans, Shri Lankans, and Zimbabweans.

It is not the end of the world. Just because you are loosing a few jobs. Millions have NONE. And Millions more will never have any for a long time!

Whatever Happened To GRIT-GAUL & GUMPTION. The citizens of IRAQ & Afghanistan are not committing suicide en-mass.

And Heaven knows they aught to. Considering what they go through every day.

So why are the French doing so? Weaklings I Guess!


Defining Job Security!

As a former Trade Union Organizer, just let me explain the concept of Job Security!

Historically, employers that allowed Union Shops or Trade Union Representation, ensured Fair Wages, Healthcare benefits, Vacation Leave with pay, Retirement benefits, and Workmen Compensation benefits.

That was basically what was meant by job security. However, over the years, with the decline in trade Union memberships, organizational debarring or worker's representation, and out-sourcing. The concept went out the door BIG TIME!

What we have generally, especially for the Blue Collar industries, the Service Industries, and Manufacturing Industries locally, are the tendency to employ illegals, pay below minimum wages, no health benefits, no permanent jobs, and no Trade Union Representation, in most organizations today.

So 'Job Security' per se, has become a thing of the past!

A Rogue Former Danish Commando Publishes Classified Data!

October 12-2009:


A Rogue Former Danish Commando Publishes Classified Data!

A Danish Ex-Special Operation's Military person wrote a book, outlining the GORY details of how they conduct such operations in the field. Such information can do serious harm to undercover operations of any military, in A Theater Of War.

If the enemy can have access to this information, then what is the point having any undercover operation at all. When your enemy will be waiting for you!

George W. Bush's Administration Torture Details:

Just like the Obama administration, through the Attorney General may have to grapple with any information solicited by The US Congress to investigate any wrongdoing, during the military incursions in Iraq & Afghanistan.

This information too will be of a very sensitive nature, and if allowed to be revealed publicly, like that Danish military rogue did, then we may be having the same scenario right here in the USA, about Freedom Of Expression, or Freedom To Publish Information Freely too.

However, it is incumbent upon any Public Official, or Military Officer/Combatant to protect certain Institutional Operations that would allow the enemy if revealed, to have forewarning about any planned operation. Or the methods by which such operations are conducted.

Failing to abide by this 'classified information' rule, could cause very serious harm to lives and limbs in any combat scenario.

HIV Infection Continues To Rise Within Communities Of Color!


October 08-2009:


HIV Infection Continues To Rise Within Communities Of Color!

It was former president Ronald Reagon that started A President's Commission that specified how Federal Dollars will be disbursed to states with HIV infected populations. This proviso was absolutely required, so states enacted laws to penalize HIV infected people, in order to qualify for Federal dollars.

Several States have differing laws that penalize HIV infected people who knowingly or un-knowingly infect someone with the virus.

* In Missouri, an HIV infected person cannot marry someone who is not. And an HIV infected person can be charged and sentenced to death, for infecting another person with HIV (knowingly or un-knowingly).

* In other states, HIV infected persons can be charged with a misdemeanor for infecting another person from just kissing. That too is considered a crime.

HIV Spread Within Communities Of Color:

* Currently, self-identified heterosexual Latino men and Black men have the highest rate of HIV infection within the USA.

* Most Latinos and Black men indulge in careless sexual acts, despite the known consequences of this behavior.

* Some use the excuse of drug addiction for this behavior.

* Others blame lack of knowledge as an excuse. Others blame economic woes, lack or employment, thus leading to prostituting themselves to earn money.

* Others take for granted the reality that with current HIV medications, and adherence to the prescriptions, they are more likely to live a long time, and a reasonably healthy lifestyle.

So they have become complacent, and irresponsible in their casual sexual encounters.

Therefore, I say for those who Chose to be careless and irresponsible. Leave them to their own devices. For those who seek help, help them as much as possible, and encourage them to maintain the HIV regimen, seek help when needed, and stay away from social influences, that may cause them to fall victim to any behavior that is harmful to a healthy life style.

For those who CHOSE NOT TO BE RESPONSIBLE PERIOD. I Say LET THEM DIE!

Establishing A Balance Between Socialism & Capitalism For Future Development Of All Cultures!


October 07-2009:

Establishing A Balance Between Socialism & Capitalism For Future Development Of All Cultures!


SOCIALISM And CAPITALISM co-existing with each other, may be the future for all of humanity.

Capitalism has not rendered us morally upright or equally satisfied materially.

And Socialism has not brought about the daily essentials and needs that are required, for modern development and consumption for all either.

So striking a balance between these two ideologies may be the solution for future development of all cultures.

CHINA:

This country seem to be heading in that direction. But they would have to ensure that the agricultural base is maintained, individual ownership of land, less state intervention and dictation, for increased production and productivity.

And to also ensure that there is increased production of agricultural produce for internal consumption always. And any excess could be exported overseas, with the revenue re-invested in those agrarian communities.

RUSSIA:

This country's native population is dwindling annually, and if some effort is not made, or ordinary Russians encouraged to contemplate having at least one child, or another child. Then in the next decade or two, migrants will be heavily depended upon to fill the every growing gap/void of manual, un-skilled, blue collar, and service industry jobs therein.

Embracing Migrants From Foreign Lands:

This may be one solution for Russia, and other countries without enough or appropriate skills, education, know how, and technological experience and expertise, to contemplate.

Governments will have to embrace foreign labor or immigrants, regardless of their internal opposition to it, because of necessity. How governments go about this is left to the individual states to develop policies and laws of legality, and for immigration, that would allow for this development to take place.

The USA:

This country was founded of principles and beliefs which subscribe to the view, that all humankind, must have Liberty to move or travel anywhere he/she thinks would better his/her condition, Freedom of Self and Expression, and the Rule Of Law, in a Democratic Atmosphere. With these aspirations enshrined in the National Constitution, millions have traveled from around the globe, to experience this unique human and cultural experience.

In recent decades Immigrants Of Color have been emigrating there in droves seeking betterment. This has caused some local and national concerns. Most employers who hire these un-skilled (more or less) new arrivals, pay them less than the regular wages, and work them longer hours that those who are Nationals, and are legally represented under the laws, and may be unionized workers too.

Immigrants Of Color can be seen in every aspect of the national service industries, agricultural, and other production industries, working alongside Americans, but getting less for their work. This irregularity and un-fair Labor practice has fueled resentment among these immigrants, and are also causing the Nationals to feel threatened for their supposed entitled jobs/employment positions, which they feel are in jeopardy.

EL Qaeda Is No Longer A Threat In Afghanistan!

http://internationalpoliticalissues.blogspot.com/

September 23-2009:

EL Qaeda Is No Longer A Threat In Afghanistan!

President Obama there is no EL Qaeda threat in Afghanistan for us to worry about. They are the Taliban, and they are Afghans. So we are Currently killing Afghans. And that is why we MUST leave NOW.

Let Governor General Karzai deal with the insurrectionists, this is not our war any longer. This is the view of many journalists that visit there regularly, and from Afghans themselves, when questioned.

What we are actually fighting are the Pashtun elements that identify with the Taliban's view of Islam and Jihadism. And some elements within the Taliban's dispirit groups in Afghanistan that are in it for several reasons, these being the following.

* To seek and destroy all foreign elements therein.

* To wage war against all foreign military forces from within their territories.

* To ensure that Islam is not compromised by any western concept of Governance via Western Democratic Principles, which totally conflicts with Islamic teachings.

* And to remove the Karzai government that was the brainchild, and has the support of the USA and her allies in Afghanistan.

Why Are We Still There?

The US went in to destroy EL Qaeda elements, Prevent Safe Havens, and Destroy Terror Training Camps. This was achieved some seven years ago, when EL Qaeda, (the Taliban's guests) were defeated.

Since then billions of US dollars, in munitions, hardware, infrastructure development, national security training, wages for Afghan Military and Police Forces, and payments of Compensation to Civilians for lives lost.

Which incidentally, are in the thousands, and growing daily.

Therefore, sending thousands more of US military personnel, will only INCREASE, (and this is also very likely to happen), the volume of American lives lost and maimed therein.

Even N.A.T.O.'S representation is dwindling at the moment, causing some concern among other nations, as to our End Game or Strategy in Afghanistan. This concern is also growing within the confines of the USA.

BRING our military HOME from Afghanistan by this year's end Mr. president. Or you will surely loose the vast majority of those YOUNG people who are dying there, and those millions who have supported you during the campaign for sure.

And I will harbor a guess at this time, that if you persist in keeping American troops there, and does not heed the call of Americans at home and abroad. You will regret it come the next general election!
