A few KBR employees have come forward to turn in their fellow employees and admit their own wrong doings before a few Congressional folks.
I am currently reading "Crescent," by Diana Abu-Jaber. In this book, one of the characters, Hanif, recounts to his Love interest what Baghdad was like to live in. He can never go back, and his Love for the city, the description, his Love for the land, his family, the people, are so haunting with every word that the beauty and tragedy of the place pours from the lips like honey from a spoon. I have never heard such beauty described for any American city. "The first smell of the smog of LA." No one laments longingly over such cities in the U.S. with the exception of the priviliged.
And this Beauty has been destroyed. Disneyland is planning on building a theme park there. And treasures from personal to national have been robbed from the people of Iraq like the U.S. stole all the indigenous lands, cultures, languages, people, animals, plants, insects, like they were gods and all belonged to them and that somehow gives America the right to destroy everything.
But some of these people have come forward (like good FBI, CIA, NSA, etc., should) to admit their wrong doing and to turn coat on the other thieves in their ranks who have so joyously destroyed and committed genocide against a nation for their own fucking gain. American higher ideals, there has never been such a thing.

Israel is observing "Holocaust Day?" To me, this is rather ironic.
In the book "The Secret War Against the Jews," by John Loftus and Mark Aarons, I'm told (it is on my shelf and list of reading but I have not read it myself as of yet) goes into detail of how many higher class Jews sold out their poorer brethren by giving their names and addresses to the Nazi's. These names were put into IBM machines for quick processing and rounding up of the lesser folks. The higher class sell-out Jews were offered safe passage and many went to Palestine to help start the nation currently known as Israel.
Israel, of course, is committing genocide against the Palestinians, has done nuclear medical experiments on hundreds of thousands Sephardic Jewish children, doing medical experiments on South African children, etc.
Israeli's also hate survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. Their theory, "No good Jew survived the Holocaust." You see, folks had to do some pretty horrible things in order to survive the death camps. Forced labor and slavery, you know, like America has done to the indgenous, blacks, Chinese, Irish, etc.
So, other than publicity, I would have to say that Israel's memorial to the Holocuast, especially since many of the power holders in Israel won't admit there were others slaugthered in the Holocuast (like 1.5 million Sinti and Romani), I just have to say that this memorial is rather disingenuous at best.

Katie Couric seems to be jumping on the racist bandwagon in producing an unsubstantiated and racist piece allegedly focusing on illegal immigration which we all know to mean, "Anti-Mexican," or more to the point, "We Don't Want No Dark Folks from South of the Border."
"One gaping hole in the news story involved a hospital administrator’s statement that the facility has “uncompensated care of over $200 million a year,” which the reporter tied to emergency room care for non-citizens. But how is that known if the hospital does not verify citizenship or legal vs. illegal immigration status?
"Civil rights leaders also contended Couric’s broadcast was inconsistent, not just because of her brand as “America’s sweetheart” but also because, in June, she is to receive the 2008 Alice Award, named for Alice Stokes Paul, the women’s suffrage leader and author of the Equal Rights Amendment."
Let's not forget, stupid fucking americans, that if you are not Indigenous, you are an immigrant. The dark skinned foreign language speaking folks form South of the border are mostly indigenous and have more of a right to be here than say...YOU! You like to tout the law but only want folks to abide by certain laws. You all don't abide by article six section two of your constitution.
Obviously, the Alice Award is as disingenuous as the Nobel Peace Prize (Henry Kissinger).

Obama's former pastor is in the news again.
"On Monday, Wright criticized the U.S. government as imperialist and stood by his suggestion that the United States invented the HIV virus as a means of genocide against minorities. "Based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything," he said."
Now, I've heard the allegations that the U.S. started the HIV virus to slaughter "less desireable" folks. I don't doubt this possibility to be true as the U.S. has been experimenting with making a super smallpox that would be close to if not 100% effective.
Obama, of course, is further distancing himself from Wright. However, Wright just may be right. He is right about the chickens coming home to roost. He is right about racism in America. I say "WRIGHT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE!" Let's vote in Wright for President.
And in case you haven't been paying attention: THE U.S. IS IMPERIALIST! Imperialist meaning that they invade other nations to steal their wealth for the already wealthy of this nation. How do you all think America was founded? Love and kindness? Try genocide and destruction, extinctions and death.

King Dick and co-King George are still pursuing their illegal and genocidal war against Iranians in order to control and steal all of their resources. Folks, dick and george want Iran. They are pushing forward with unsubstantiated lies because that is all they can use to get the STUPID U.S. POPULATION behind their illegal and genocidal activities. I mean, it worked for Goering! I guess they believe that their "weapons of mass destruction" lie worked, so will the "Iranians are nothing but a bunch of terrorists" lie.

Oh yeah! And the John McCain health plan will eliminate employer paid group health plans. He claims this will bring down health care premiums. What it seems like it would do to me is to give more profits to corporations that no longer have to pay for health care for their employers. There will, of course, be NO raises for employees that now increase the profits of the corporations they work for. It will also subject folks who would not have health care otherwise to join the rainks of the 43 million uninsured Americans. This would also mean preditory and USELESS health care insurance corporations can charge excessive amounts of money for minimal amounts of coverage. This will also increase emergency room visits with the increasing unemployment, increasing gas prices, dropping value of the dollar, unsustainable wars, etc., draining the local economies. People will have no other health care and not be able to afford to pay the emergency room bills. Universal health care is out of the question for two reasons: 1) It would cut into the profits of excessively wealthy corporations who basically get their money for nothing by forcing us to pay for something that is actually A HUMAN RIGHT! 2) Folks in America won't stand up for universal health care because they allegedly don't want to provide something for nothing. Here I will point out that Alan Schwartz of Bear Stearns received $30 billion in our tax payer dollars because he ran his corporation into the ground using bad business practices. Not only has this wealthy man received billions for losing billions, he is being rewarded for his bad behavior. Alan Schwartz didn't just get something for nothing, he got $30,000,000,000 of our tax paid dollars because he IS A COMPLETE LOSER FUCK-UP! Would you pay a fellow $10,000 dollars in tax money for losing $5,000 of his own money in Vegas?
Of course, many of our congessional members voted in favor of this because many of them had invested in the failing firm.
REVOLUTION NOW!
I unfortunately forget this woman's name. She is a LCC student who survived 3 and a half years of incarceration. She told a general story of prison life for women. Not a story you hear often, and is rather tragic, especially in women having access to their children. Quite horrifying stuff. Oddly, Indians didn't have prisons prior to the invasion and conquest. So if any of you reading this are able to help, do what you can to help out with women in prison.
In case you haven't noticed, the above four pictures are of John Trudell. Shusli surprised me when she came home from work with wanting to take me to see John Trudell speak at Lane Community College.
