LIBYA MAY USE MUSTARD GAS ON IT’S CITIZENS!!!

LIBYA MAY USE MUSTARD GAS ON IT’S CITIZENS!!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)





Libya is another one of America's chickens coming home to roast. The world revolts against world tyrants in the Middle East is generally a common result of citizens in countries that are supported by American money and policies that overlook the violation of human right in these nations.

Today, February 26, 2011 it is reported that Gaddafi is threatening to use the chemical weapons of Mustard Gas on his own people. The chaos in Libya has raised fears about the security of deadly mustard gas stockpiled in the country and whether Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi might use it on his own people. (NavyNurse, LIBYA MUSTARD GAS STOCKPILE, Washington (CNN), Feb 25, 2011) Don’t be surprised to find that this Mustard Gas was supplied by the US or US Military or affiliated Corporations! In addition, some of the aircraft used to attack Libyan citizens were supplied by the US. All of the military equipment has some connection with US suppliers of the world’s war material. (Frances Ann Burns, "Nerve Gas Defendant Due for Sentencing," United Press International, July 22, 1989. Daniel J. Wakin, "Man in Custody for Alleged Attempts to Buy Nerve Gas for Exportation," Associated Press, January 13, 1989) In addition, China is reported to have been involved in the supplying of gas to Gaddafi also.

Rumors alleged that Gadhafi is providing about $400.00 (CNN) per person to Libya citizens and $3 Billion to Republican Party to support him!! Gadhafi has taken a page out of the CEO Kock’s book, who has tried to buy some State Governors support to stop the Union (Middle Class & Poor) resistance. He wants to buy the attention of Republican leaders!

Moreover, this whole multi nation revolt in the Middle East can be traced back to the corrupt and misguided policies the American Government has accepted that is mainly to provide advantage for corporation's to exploit the resources of oil in these nations. It did not matter that these nations were not democracies and had tyrants as leaders. In fact, corporations and US Governments prefer to do business with dictators. They also preferred these leaders to be ignorant, barbaric, and cruel. Dictators are more like successful CEOs in that they are singular minded, greedy, amoral, and criminal. Collateral damage (human rights or deaths) is not an issue with a dictator.



This is Obama’s dilemma and an impossible task to resolve! As the citizen revolts in the Middle East continues the reasons for the up-heaves remain the same. Further, Obama must know that the union VS State Republican Governors such as those of Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, etc. (MSNBC) has the same issues as these in the Middle East, The “Middle Class VS Wealth”

CIVIL RIGHTS AND BLACKS or THE OLD, THE MANGLED and THE UGLY!!

CIVIL RIGHTS AND BLACKS or THE OLD, THE MANGLED and THE UGLY!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)


Where is the Black “Civil Rights Movement??” It is apparent that Black problems have become a sideshow of a sideshow in the world and American. The song “We Shall Overcome” has become their song of acceptance of the “status quo” and not the fight song that made Blacks move to action. It is a clear and present part of the not-so-equal society but it needs a clearer indemnification, in today’s world. Blacks find themselves today doodling around such things as Black Honorees or Blacks who have lived but really never done any thing but be safe. Some of these honorees are even "dishonorees" (i. e. the Clarence Thomases, Black Toms, and Williams, etc) having performed negative activities against their own kind. Black have taken the past and refused to make a serious future of finishing the road to equality!!



NONVIOLENCE OR THE VIOLENCE OF NONCOOPERATION:



MLK and Gandhi had to write the truth about their nonviolent activities. They use noncooperation as a “Weapon” to get some movement toward the quality of mankind! The nonviolent movement was not really non violent. It was the use of the overt/violent pressure/force of “non cooperation” to get the oppressors to move.

Further, another not so well recorded fact was that the coalition that made this movement work was that which finally included the Middle and Lower Class citizens that had as an objective that of unjust wars and Feminine Equality. These white citizens had the easily identified problem of the unfairness of another problem that of antiwar movement.. This was the undeclared Vietnam War on a people that had nothing to do with an attack on American rights and citizens.

When MKL united with these “so-called-flower-children" Black Civil Rights took on a broader new power that made government move to make changes in the questionable activities of war and Civil Rights. Today, there is another common problem that is available for the Black Civil Right advocates to unite with. These groups are located all over the world. They are the teachers in Wisconsin, Egyptian, Liberians, uk, Muslims, etc. All of these groups have a common enemy, the coalitions of the wealthy that have nearly brought all other "institutions" of a civilized society to it’s knees!



BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS HAS NEW NATIONAL AND WORLD WIDE ALLIES!!



But hold it today there is a more serious rights movement. It is a World Wide war. It is really that WWIII that so many leaders have been saying they are trying to avoid. This war has no enemy with uniforms, flags, and sovereign territory. Unlike other wars there is no seventh parallel or French DiMaggio lines. The territory is described as the classic Institution of “Economics Capitalism American Style!” This is one of the five institutions in a civilized society which include Family, Religion, Education and Politics The advisories in this war are Capitalist Economic System on one side and the other five Institutions on the other. Capitalism has proven to be a powerful advisory because it has grown to control the resources that all other institutions need to exist.



THE NEW COALITION OF CIVIL RIGHTS:



So in summary this is a war with the Middle Classes against the Wealthy for control of world resources. The middles Classes are located cross national borderlines. They are Egyptians, British, Germans, Chinese, Libyans, Americans, Nigerians, Tunisians,



WHAT IS THE SOLUTION(S) AND WHO CAN DO THE SOLVING?



In all the revolutions of history it has been recorded that the Middle Classes. Poor and young that have made changes happen. But alas, in American our youth have been so sheltered and coddled by the parental “Baby Boomers” that they have no clue/idea of their condition. Although these Black and white graduates have no employment after college, they still have hope that some great and powerful God will change this! They have not had the benefit of experiencing to fire of “no income compounded with no hope.” Until they have been educated on the real world and HOPE is gone it will have to be one of the old time “Baby Boomers” that will take the leadership and finally involve these college students of the 2000s. Further, if there are any Ministers left that are without sin and not so heavenly bound that they are of earthly good, they should again take the lead stand up be the hero and move onto the white and Black campuses without the “We Shall Over Come” song and get this job done.



THE INSTITUTION OF RELIGION MUST TAKE THE LEAD IN THIS WAR AGAINST GREEDY:



Yes, the Institution of Religion has as it main tenants the responsibility of bringing this enemy that contains Greed, amorality and criminality located in the institution of “Economics (Capitalism)” to a halt before the laws of both man and God! The institution of economic as presently constructed is not a complimentary institution to society.

The resent attacks on unions are the prime opportunity for Black Civil Rights to again become timely and relevant. The Baptist, Epistical, Methodist, Conventions should have visibility at all of the events where unions are being attacked. The SCLC, NAACP, NOW Women Voters League, etc. must join this unified group of AFL-CIO to bring these humans rights to a successful conclusion.

In summary, this is a struggle/war between the Middle Classes and the Wealthy. The common contention is the control of the world's resources of people, minerals, etc. The armies are composed of the 80-90 % that male up the “have-nots (workers)” on side the and the 2% that make up the “Haves (e.g. Bankers, Wall Street, etc.)”

EGYPT MUST MAKE RULES/GUIDES FOR ANY ELECTIONS!!!

EGYPT MUST MAKE RULES/GUIDES FOR ANY ELECTIONS!!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)



If we are not careful and thoughtful we as Americans will miss the most important part of this Revolt in Egypt! It is not so much that the revolt resulted in the apparent stepping down of a known brutal tyrant, as it was that it happened without a shot being fired.

In addition, the Egyptian citizens need to be aware that in the democratic transmission to a new leader the presence of American corporations in their country holds not only a great financial wealth (threat,) they hold the propensity to make elections look as if it was an exercise of fools and children. Then there is the Egyptian Military. America alone has invested over $80 billions of dollars in Egypt's military. Therefore, the combination of the corporations and the military really do control and run Egypt! At this very time this power block is plotting and scheming on how to make this election out come to the benefit of the wealthy and the powerful. That is the American way of practicing Democracy. This is just another election waiting to be bought by the wealthy and powerful. Things seem to be changing but really everything will remain the same. At best the Egyptians will get a government that has the military and cooperation with the power to tell the new puppet leader what to do!

American business in this nation in transition is a greedy, amoral, profit-making beast in need of controls. Get and keep these criminals out of the election process!

First, Egypt must make it a crime for business to buy excess propaganda/political ads that grab the minds of the citizens. In addition, there needs to be limitations on the amount of money any one candidate can have and spend. Then there is the problem of equal access to the media and its satellites. No deliberate lie should be able to pass the smell and taste test of “just being a political statement!” Maybe the loss of a foot, or an eye or a hand is too little punishment for the deliberate killing of the mentality of citizenry to think on the truth of an issue or situation.

In order to have any chance of getting fair election American needs to make available a team of honest, reliable people to assist Egypt through these times. A team to include people like such as, Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, Ion Sanches, Jesse Jackson, William Gates, President Carter, Arnold swatzaneger, etc.. MSNBC should be sent in to be sure that at least one national media will shine a light on the situation!

President Obama is doing an excellent job at trying to influence this crisis in Egypt. However, America and the world are probably being bamboozled, pimped, and punk out by corporations and the Egyptian military.

AMERICA HAS MANY MOBS, MAFIA AND GANGS!!

AMERICA HAS MANY MOBS, MAFIA AND GANGS!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)


FOUR OF TEN MOST WANTED MAFIA OF TODAY

Fellow Americans must come to understand just how pervasive the existence of the many types of “Mafia,” “Mobs.” “Gangs” we allow to operate in our nation! We have been convinced that the “Mob” is really the Italian like criminal that fit the “Soprano and Gad Father” image. But in reality there are many other “Mob and Mafia” operations in the nation. (David Wood, Pentagon Reports Billions of Dollars in Contractor Fraud, AOLNews, 2/3/2011)

There are at least three words used interchangeably when discussing the subject of who are the criminal organizations, Gangs, The Mob or Mob, and the Mafia.

A gang is a group of people, through the organization, formation, and establishment of an assemblage, share a common identity. In current usage it typically denotes a criminal organization or else a criminal affiliation

Often Mob is used to refer to organized crime. Often used with the: a murder suspect with links to the Mob. They can do well at times and at times are no more than groups of people with similar objectives and issues.

Mafia refers to a tightly knit group of trusted associates, crime group even, a political group or leader:

So you see, Mobs, Gangs, and/or Mafia can be good, bad, legal or criminal according to whose bull is being gored and who is profiting from their existence. America has come to be very tolerant of these groups almost to a fault! Our most honored Mob, Gang, Mafia is the financial industry. America has allowed it to bring the whole nation to the brink of disaster!!

However, by definition some good “Gangs or Mobs” are some Families, some Religious Denominations, Some educations, some political parties, some Private companies, NAACP, Urban League, League of Women Voters, Anti Deformation League, etc. They at the least do no harm to others!

For example Exxon/Mobil” and the oil cooperations are nothing more than legitimized “Mobs!” They conduct schemes of rip-offs that fit any definition of “The Mob or Mafia!”

The banking industry is nothing but a legitimate “Mafia and Mob!” So are the Wall Street, Pharmacy, Mining Industry which include Coal, Oil, copper, Iron, some political Parties, etc! All these industries/organizations conduct business that takes advantage of the American citizens for services and living needs/resources.

The powerful in America have the tendency of making any “Organization” an outsider and an undesirable “Gang, Mop, Mafia, etc. when an advantage is needed. This places them outside of the nations morals, ethics, law, or acceptable institutions! Thus, “Black Gangs, Italian Mafia, Muslims, Drug pushers (not Drug Suppliers so much), The RNC call/labeled ACORN, which is a voter registration group financed by the federal government a "quasi –criminal mob,’ Muslim Brotherhood,” have been harassed and prosecuted on regular occasions. In contrast, The Tobacco Industry/organization, that is a proven killer of approximately 400,000 American each is not labeled a ”Mob, Mafia, Gang, etc” and allowed to operate without interference. There is no way for Americans to over look the Gang-Mafia activities of BP, Exxon/Mobil, Wall Street, Banking Industry, Black Water, Halliburton. Etc., that has conducted their “Ponzi and Casino” rip offs to our peril.

The allowing of these organized operations is not the American way. They are in fact a corruption of the law, intent and spirit of the Constitution, and in violation the axiom of doing no harm of the American way! Mother Grizzly express the accepted notion that a person must “Man-up,” be "a criminal, greedy, and made their bones (killer)" to be a strong leader American style. This is one of America's greatest problems!
