Current Events - July 2007

This is for black people since they don't automatically assume all blacks are born criminals and not worthy of citizenship. I don't need a bunch of denialist answers about some fictional race-card bs(the new pc). I am wondering about ACTUAL solutions, not justifications for failure and it's aftermath. Like iraq, white people are numb to the horrible effects their racist policies have on non-whites. Millions of black lives in the u.s. and millions in iraq are utterly destroyed and rather than take credit for that being the actual goal--its an unintended consequence that are the fault of the victims. I already know this party line they tow and don't need 10 respondents to try different ways to say the same thing. Most importantly, I am from the hip-hop generation- the one that has never looked for white approval and they always answer like it's up to them to validate your reality. They don't know anything about your reality but are the authority(and that's the non-racist view.

I'm confused about this big arms deal with Saudi Arabia. They won't lift a finger to help us in Iraq yet we make sure they get our very best military hardware that could be used against Israel or us at a future date. Does this make sense to you? Is this as bad or worse than trading nuclear technology for mangos? What this administration needs is a good used car salesman working their deals instead of the idiot doing it now, don't you think?

Supervisors at a meatpacking plant have fired dozens of Somali Muslim employees for trying to pray at sunset. The five - ten minute prayer, known as Maghrib, must be done within a 45 minute window around sunset according to Muslim rules. Surrounding this controversy is an ex employee, Muhammad Rage, who says at least two dozen employees have been fired. A company rep says they were fired for reasons related to the issue, and that was for walking off the line without permission, not for praying. He said that unscheduled breaks can force unplanned shutdowns of lines.

The Union Banking Corporation (UBC) was a banking corporation in the US which was seized, under the Trading with the Enemy Act, during World War II in October 1942. The corporation, of which Prescott Bush served as Director and Vice President, was primarily controlled by the Harriman family and was alleged to be a Nazi organization.

Adolf Hitler's financiers, the CLN family, formed UBC to manage investments in America. The US congressional report described Union Bank as an "interlocking trust" with the German Steel Trust. UBC was also involved in raising funds for Germany and illegally transferring aviation fuel technology to the Luftwaffe.

The company was established in August 1924 with George Herbert Walker as president. His son-in-law Prescott Bush was on the board of directors from 1934 to 1943 with E. Roland Harriman, H. J. Kouwenhoven, Johann G. Groeninger, Harold D. Pennington, Cornelis Lievense, Ray Morris, and E. S. James.
btw--->George Herbert Walker is GW Bush's Great grandfather, and Prescott Bush is GW's grandfather

Their explanation for this is that they don't want richer teams to gain an unfair advantage. So does this mean that they have to sit on a coach for 1000 miles every other week?

The person or persons who carried out this terrible crime are clearly of a mindset that responds only to their own wants.
Other peoples feelings don't enter into it at all, except in that they may well get satisfaction from the hurt they cause.
I accept that some out there who have criticised the McCanns do so sincerely and have been fair and measured in their criticism.
However a lot of questions and comments simply make me want to vomit.
They seem to relish the taunting of the McCanns, and what of that sick question earlier about Mr Murat babysitting for the McCanns.
What kind of creep asks a question like that, and doesn't he display the characteristics that I wrote about earlier?
Would you want him to be your neighbour?

After watching Panorama last night i'm still reeling at seeing the footage of what they call Happy Slapping where they go and start to beat up people and video the fights on their moblies to post on to the Internet, You Tube etc,

My god they love to see people being beat up so severely that blood is spurting out everywhere to the point where the poor person being beat up loses conciousness which can lead to death or very serious injury .

I'm not a particulary religious person but I remember my grand mother telling us when we were young that all of the things that are happening today would come to pass as stated in the book of revelations saying that in the latter days Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom there will be lawlessness people will be lovers of money.

Could the Bible possibly be true???

Bush administrations are in process of selling $20b worth weapons to saudi arabia, and aiding $30+ to isreal, and others...and they SAY it's not an attempt to get back oil (saudi's #1 export). They want to stabilize middle east and the powerful Iran by giving weapons to other countries. In other words, Iran is keeping US from doing what they want in middle east, so US will fund Iran's enemies.
ie: funding of Afghanistan (bin laden) to ward off communist Russia
Is this a bad idea? Is this helping our image? more importantly, can this back fire and set up more wars in middle east?

What does everyone think of the woman in Ocean City who had four dead infants in her house...a placenta, 2 unborn fetuses, and a 26 week old infant. The first three were found in a living room trunk, and the 26 week old in a plastic bag, in a vanity, under her bathroom sink. What do you think...did she do it herself, or do you think someone else is at fault?

I see on the new's that Iraq is doing better, their government is taking a 1 month vacation, their soccer team is in competiton, some of the pictures look like life is pretty good. Why in the Heck is every abled bodied person not fighting for their country, while American soldiers are dying for their freedom.
Thank you g.w.!!!

From Ian Punnett blog
"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.

The doctors - whose names were blacked out - said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.
If there is a murder, there must be a weapon, an opportunity and a motive.

The weapon, we know, is an M-16. The opportunity appears to be a sudden case of friendly fire.

But where is the motive? According to the AP, Mary Tillman suspects somebody in Pat's unit might have "fragged" him, that is, shot him on purpose.

Is there any hint to a motive in Pat Tillman's real last words?

It has been widely reported by the AP and others that Spc. Bryan O'Neal, who was at Tillman's side as he was killed, told investigators that Tillman was waving his arms shouting "Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat (expletive) Tillman, damn it!" again and again.

But the latest documents give a different account from a chaplain who debriefed the entire unit days after Tillman was killed.

The chaplain said that O'Neal told him he was hugging the ground at Tillman's side, "crying out to God, help us. And Tillman says to him, `Would you shut your (expletive) mouth? God's not going to help you; you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling ..."

The Army says that you can trust them now. There was no murder--they have that in their official Army report. Understandably, the family has trust issues with official Army reports.

And so do I.

that people have had enough of the McScams?

According to reports in the weeks leading up to the concert

"Organisers are hoping to raise £35,000."

So what was the result?

"More than 80 people paid between £10 and £15"

80 people??? What happened to the 'up to 6,000' people they had predicted?

80 * £15 = £1200. Way way short of the £35,000 they were predicting a few weeks ago.

So we have so many people complaining about the mccanns that a newspaper has to ban comments on it. No-one shows up for a concert held in Madeleines name to raise funds. What does this tell the media in this country?

People are sick of the McCanns, so when are the media in this country going to pull its head out of its proverbial you-know-what and see whats going on around them???
