Tip Of The Iceberg

It is not unrea­son­able for Public Officials to have com­mu­ni­ca­tion devices which helps them to car­ry out their duties effec­tive­ly. If fact it is quite expect­ed that a respon­si­ble Government would sup­ply it’s oper­a­tives with the tools they need to do an effec­tive job. These spe­cial lit­tle priv­i­leges, or perks as some crit­ics label them were nev­er intend­ed to be abused, yet pub­lic sec­tor work­ers are known to do exact­ly that.

Anyone who served in the Police Force can tes­ti­fy to the fact that there were times when there was one vehi­cle at a giv­en Police Station, some­times none , yet the Superintendent , Inspector or some oth­er Non-com­mis­sioned offi­cer in charge would dri­ve that lone vehi­cle home, leav­ing no vehi­cle at the station.

Of course when calls come in offi­cers on duty are forced to tell the pub­lic that there are no vehi­cles to attend to the calls. These are dis­gust­ing truths, yet they went on for years and I sus­pect they still occur today. What made them more egre­gious is the fact that Superintendents of Police were des­ig­nat­ed Civil Servants and as a result of that des­ig­na­tion received trav­el­ling allowances to off­set some of the cost of travelling.

With only mea­ger com­pli­ance to request for pub­lic infor­ma­tion on how tax­pay­ers monies are being han­dled, it was recent­ly revealed that one Junior Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Arnaldo Brown had the high­est cell­phone bill among Government min­is­ters for 2013, rack­ing up just under $1.1 mil­lion over the 12-month peri­od — near­ly five times that of his senior AJ Nicholson.

We don’t know what exact­ly his job descrip­tion is. Does his job require him to use a cell phone with such fre­quen­cy and to that fini­cal cost to the pub­lic? We sim­ply do not know. It may also be incon­se­quen­tial Brown’s boss used the phone far less than he did.

What seem to be appar­ent is a con­tin­ued mind­set that there is a nev­er end­ing slush fund of tax­pay­er mon­ey to be abused. This is not new . For decades count­less Jamaicans have entered Politics sole­ly for the pur­pose of get­ting rich. The Salary is not enough to get them rich yet even after just a sin­gle term in office some walk away wealthy.

Politics was nev­er intend­ed to be a place where one gar­nered wealth. Service to Country and one’s fel­low man is a Honorable pur­suit, that real­i­ty seem to be lost on some politi­cians. More and more Jamaicans are see­ing just how cor­rupt and dis­gust­ing­ly dis­hon­est their elect­ed offi­cials are . Unfortunately for them there are no checks and bal­ances in place to put Jamaica’s crim­i­nal politi­cians in Jail .The peo­ple doing the steal­ing are the peo­ple respon­si­ble for stop­ping it.

Whether it be in sug­ar deals where a Prime Minister becomes filthy rich, unscrupu­lous deals with an Oil com­pa­ny and kick-back in mon­ey to fund cam­paigns. Whether it be bla­tant, overt , rapa­cious abuse of a light-bulb dis­tri­b­u­tion pro­gram and a Magistrate sim­ply cir­cum­vent the process to set a Politician free , Jamaicans con­tin­ue to pay the price.

The fact is, Jamaicans pre­tend there is a Democratic Parliamentary sys­tem in place. I guess it makes them feel good , after all Jamaicans are mas­ter pre­tenders . The fact is Jamaica has long been a Kleptocracy. It’s façade of a sys­tem is geared to pun­ish the poor, and those sworn to uphold the laws. The sys­tem rewards and encour­ages crim­i­nal­i­ty in the streets even as those in Parliament live like mod­ern-day Barons.

This lat­est cell phone rev­e­la­tion is not even the tip of the ice­berg . There is no real account­abil­i­ty. Nothing which holds those with polit­i­cal pow­er account­able. In the mean­time Jamaicans will have to bend their backs and raise their chil­dren to bend their backs to pay back the Billions bor­rowed to fat­ten the polit­i­cal class.

Killings And More Killings !!!

The Jamaican Government is engaged in self con­grat­u­la­tions regard­ing the International Monetary Funds Flower praise for the Country regard­ing that Country’s adher­ence to the Funds poli­cies under the Extended Fund Facility agreement.

IMF Deputy Managing Director Min Zhu said because of the finan­cial “mir­a­cle” that the Government has per­formed, the local econ­o­my is turn­ing in a pos­i­tive direc­tion. “By our fore­cast, the growth this year will be stronger than last year, and even more impor­tant, for next year the growth will be stronger than this year. Meanwhile, the fis­cal deficit will drop to almost zero… so I think it’s absolute­ly a mir­a­cle. It’s a great achieve­ment by the Jamaican Government,”.

Clearly a polit­i­cal state­ment if there ever was one. That aside the Fund knows that the Jamaica Government is high­ly unpop­u­lar with the peo­ple at this time. If there is a change of Government it may mean that a new Administration may jet­ti­son the fund for a more fis­cal­ly pru­dent eco­nom­ic path. That course of action is not in the inter­est of the IMF.

It is always sus­pect when a lender Agency like the International Monetary Fund has flow­ery praise for a Country. That gen­er­al­ly means they are reap­ing rewards on their invest­ments. That is what they are in busi­ness for, to make mon­ey. Generally when a Nation finds itself in the good graces of the Fund it’s peo­ple are feel­ing the squeeze of aus­ter­i­ty. Strict adher­ence to the Funds fis­cal path usu­al­ly leads to upris­ing in the streets. Fortunately for Jamaica it has a pop­u­la­tion which is too immersed in trib­al pol­i­tics to real­ize it can­not con­tin­ue on this path to ruination.

As the Government engages in self con­grat­u­la­tions Crime con­tin­ues to make the Country a place to avoid. From St Thomas in the East to St James in the West, Criminals kill at will with­out con­se­quence. The Police as always, is engaged in putting out fires, with­out putting for­ward a cohe­sive, sus­tain­able approach to elim­i­nat­ing the Criminal under­world from the Country.

The Department’s new­ly mint­ed Commissioner Carl Williams, a PhD is yet to put for­ward a com­pre­hen­sive plan which will have at its core.

(1 Serious 21’st cen­tu­ry Intelligence gath­er­ing, dis­sem­i­na­tion and utilization.

(2 Using the Intelligence gath­ered to lob­by law-mak­ers to come up with mean­ing­ful Legislation with teeth.

(3 Develop strate­gies which mon­i­tors crim­i­nals on an ongo­ing basis, lis­ten to their con­ver­sa­tion, know their whereabouts.

(4 Seeking help from and coop­er­at­ing with Neighboring and oth­er Nations in whose inter­est it is to make sure Jamaica’s crim­i­nals do not main­tain con­nec­tions with crim­i­nal ele­ments in their Jurisdictions.

Jamaica’s Police Department can­not con­tin­ue to oper­ate pure­ly as a reac­tive Force. Criminals are sophis­ti­cat­ed and deter­mined. They will con­tin­ue to use inno­v­a­tive and cre­ative ways to car­ry out their nefar­i­ous designs. The Police can­not sim­ply be play­ing catch-up and being hor­ri­ble at it at that.

I keep hear­ing that the Police Force is chang­ing, that the force of yester-year has been replaced with a new­er more sophis­ti­cat­ed force. I look at the num­bers. I look at the per­for­mance. Nothing that I have seen impress­es me that crime will be trend­ing down any­time in a way that is sus­tain­able, or attrib­ut­able to the JCF. Conversely low­er num­bers at a giv­en time may be attrib­ut­able to events hap­pen­ing at that giv­en time more-so than any­thing the Police Department has implemented.

The Odds Of Survival For Some In Jamaica

A recent Article in one of Jamaica’s Daily tells the sto­ry of the hard­ships Jamaicans face just to put food on the table. Though Gambling is noth­ing new in Jamaica, as a child most Jamaicans will recall the Numbers game called (drop-pan, in some communities.

Even though some peo­ple will still tell you they gam­bled back then as a means of sub­sis­tence, from the Observer’s reporting

peo­ple are doing so much more than before.

To win at the num­bers back in the day one had to guess what num­ber the Banker decid­ed on(played , the num­bers ranged from 1 to 36 , Subscribers to this scheme had a 1 in 36 chance of win­ning. I’m unsure whether the same for­mat is used today, but a 1 in 36 chance is not exact­ly good odds for feed­ing one’s fam­i­ly, or send­ing one’s chil­dren to School.

Gambling was nev­er an alien con­cept to Jamaicans, nei­ther would it be fair to attribute the prac­tice to any Political par­ty. What is lam­en­ta­ble is that the Jamaican peo­ple have allowed lies , decep­tion, dis­trac­tions, and catchy phras­es to cause so many of them lo sur­vive, far below the pover­ty lev­el. They vir­tu­al­ly have a 1 in 36 chance of eat­ing each day. Eating is nec­es­sary for sur­vival. It would not be a far reach to sug­gest that for more and more Jamaicans, the chance of sur­vival is 1 in 36 on a dai­ly basis. And that is not count­ing the crit­i­cal crime situation.

We sim­ply have to do bet­ter for our peo­ple, and as a peo­ple. It’s sad to see Jamaicans liv­ing this way, yet as soon as elec­tion time comes around they go back and elect over­whelm­ing­ly, the same band of thieves who rob them.

They not only rob them blind and enrich them­selves they award them­selves and their friends medals and National Honors for doing it.

By the way what are one of those worth these days? Over the last three decades National Honors and Awards were giv­en out for polit­i­cal crony­ism. This is a National dis­grace. It is a tremen­dous dis-ser­vice to those who earned and deserved to be rec­og­nized for giv­ing mer­i­to­ri­ous ser­vice to Country.

The harm brought onto our Country by the PNP is at this time irre­versible in our life­time. One won­ders when will the peo­ple final­ly real­ize they do not have to live that way?

Joint Select Committee Of Parliament Looks At Jamaica’s Buggery Law

Prime Minister  Portia Simpson Miller

Portia Simpson Miller

A Joint Select com­mit­tee of the Jamaican Parliament is present­ly look­ing at the Nation’s Buggery Law . Jamaica main­tains crim­i­nal penal­ty for men who engage in male to male sex­u­al Intercourse.

Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding was hound­ed out of Office after telling a British Journalist in 2008 that there would be no Gays serv­ing in his Cabinet. The state­ment drew strong con­dem­na­tion from Homosexual groups around the World. One Canadian group Egale Canada threat­ened that if the Bruce Golding-led admin­is­tra­tion did not announce plans to abol­ish the country’s laws on homo­sex­u­al­i­ty , it would launch a cam­paign to ban Jamaican goods in the inter­na­tion­al mar­ket­place as well as a boy­cott of tourism”. In essence they threat­ened Economic Terrorism of the Jamaica Economy if the Jamaican peo­ple did not bow to Homosexuality. Not to be out­done David Cameron the British Prime Minister announced Britain would begin with­hold­ing aid from gov­ern­ments that do not reform leg­is­la­tion ban­ning homo­sex­u­al­i­ty;. Yes, Economic Blackmail if Jamaica and some Aftican Nations refused to sur­ren­der their prin­ci­ples on the demon­ic Alatr of Homosexuality.

August 27th 2009 Jamaica’s Foreign Affairs Minister Kenneth Baugh con­firmed that the US Government had for­mal­ly request­ed the extra­di­tion of influ­en­tial Tivoli Gardens don and busi­ness­man, Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. Conspiracy or coin­ci­dence? You decide. Regardless of your deci­sion , Bruce Golding was done as Jamaica’s Prime Minister. Done in, not by the Coke issue, but Homosexual pow­er and money.

Elections were Constitutionally due by the end of December 2011. During a Televised Debate with Prime Minister Andrew Holness Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller affirmed that a Miller Administration would revis­it the Country’s Bugger Laws. Money and much more poured into Jamaica for the jad­ed People’s National Party and it’s Leader Simpson Miller.

December 29th 2011 the PNP was returned to pow­er by a land-slide.

The PNP which was out of office a mere 4 years after an unprece­dent­ed 18 12 years ‚jad­ed and out of ideas, was back in office much to even their surprise.

TIME MAGAZINE declared Jamaica’s Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller“one of the 100 most influ­en­tial peo­ple in the World”. Don’t look at me, it’s a real­ly small World.

We have now come full cir­cle . Simpson Miller for the first time finds her­self upside down in the Polls. The much pop­u­lar, mod­est­ly tal­ent­ed Simpson Miller have always enjoyed a tremen­dous degree of good­will from the Jamaican pub­lic. In part because of her Party’s suc­cess­es at the polls, in part because of her gen­der, and part because of her per­sona as a daugh­ter of the soil . Miller did not come from the Mulatto upper caste.

The Jamaican peo­ple are now dis­gust­ed with her lead­er­ship, if the lat­est GLEANER com­mis­sioned Bill Johnson’s Polls are to be believed,. For the first time in her Career, her unfa­vor­ables out­weigh her favor­ables. This is very seri­ous for the Ruling PNP ‚which has ruled Jamaica for 28 of the last 40 years. Simpson Miller’s pop­u­lar­i­ty is the only Horse to which they can hitch their Wagon.

Opposition Leader Andrew Holness enjoys 43 per cent sup­port, while Simpson Miller’s sup­port stands at 35 per­cent. A 8 per­cent­age point lead can be be a wipe out if Elections were held today. Elections are not Constitutionally due until September 2015,but the Prime Minister can call an Election if she feels it is in her Party’s inter­est to do so. In light of her stand­ings in the polls ‚we do not expect an elec­tion any­time soon.

WHAT WE HAVE GOTTEN IS NOWSELECT COMMITTEE LOOKING INTO THE BUGGERY LAWS.

The PNP are mas­ter strate­gists, they have beat­en the JLP at the Election game because they take noth­ing for grant­ed. They take full advan­tage of every pos­si­ble open­ing. Could this Committee hear­ing, at this time, be a cyn­i­cal ploy to muster sup­port and resources from the Homosexual com­mu­ni­ty ? The PNP know full well the vast major­i­ty of Jamaicans oppose chang­ing the Buggery Laws. Why would they be hold­ing hear­ings when they know how the pub­lic feel on the issue?

Jamaica is a Sovereign Nation . Our Country has a right to deter­mine that it does not want Homosexual Marriage. We reserve the Right not to accept that it is nor­mal for two men or two women to be mar­ried. We reserve the right to main­tain our Christian prin­ci­ples enshrined in the holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, that Marriage is between a man and a woman. We reserve the right to main­tain those rights and prin­ci­ples with­out coer­cion, threats and intim­i­da­tion. Without sab­o­tage or subterfuge. th (41)

We reserve the right to main­tain what the major­i­ty of Jamaicans believe. That we want to main­tain crim­i­nal sanc­tion for homo­sex­u­al sex. We do not hate peo­ple who prac­tice homo­sex­u­al­i­ty. We sim­ply believe it is wrong , we believe it is un-Godly. We do not sur­ren­der the rights to our beliefs, so that homo­sex­u­al unright­eous and las­civ­i­ous desires may be accom­plished. The Jamaican peo­ple do not assume to dic­tate to oth­er Nations how they may live. As Jamaicans we expect the very same respect.

I sup­port our peo­ple on this prin­ci­pled stand . I sup­port the Church as it keep a watch­ful eye to ensure that elect­ed offi­cials do not abro­gate or cir­cum­vent the direct wish­es of the Jamaican peo­ple. The Jamaican peo­ple will not go look­ing into peo­ple’s bed­rooms to see what they do in the pri­va­cy of their homes. They just do not want to repeal the Buggery Law. We do not believe we should open the door of Homosexual immoral­i­ty on our Nation. The homo­sex­u­al com­mu­ni­ty has pow­er­ful monied and influ­en­tial prac­ti­tion­ers and sup­port­ers in high places . They will be mar­shal­ing their forces with a view to forc­ing Jamaica to sur­ren­der to their dic­tates . They threat­ened us before.

It is a long fight, we should expect to fight, in the inter­est of our principles.

Jamaican Government Exactly Right On Abu Bakr

Yasin Abu Bakr,
Yasin Abu Bakr,

Yasin Abu Bakr, Leader of the the Radical Trinidadian Muslim group Jamaat al Muslemeen was on Wednesday denied entry into Jamaica . Jamaican Authorities speak­ing through Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Crime Glenmore Hinds, con­firmed that Bakr was in fact denied entry into Jamaica. In 1990, Abu Bakr led more than 100 of his fol­low­ers in a coup attempt against the ANR . The Robinson-led National Alliance for Reconstruction Government. They stormed the Parliament and held the Prime Minister and his Cabinet hostage. Bakr then took to National Television and declared that he in fact had car­ried out a coup. He told Trinidad that he was in nego­ti­a­tions with the Army.

Bakr and his cronies beat and shot Prime Minister Robinson after he urged the Army to attack Bakr and his band of Traitors. In the end Bakr and his men sur­ren­dered after nego­ti­at­ing a deal with the Military. Bakr was arrest­ed and charged. Despite Some 24 lives lost dur­ing the coup attempt, includ­ing that of mem­ber of par­lia­ment Leo Des Vignes, a Kangaroo Appeals Court upheld an amnesty which was offered in exchange for their surrender.

Since being released Yasin Abu Bakr, has not been able to stay out of controversy .

Eleven days after the 911 ter­ror­ist attack on the Twin Towers in New York City, Abu Bakr was detained and inter­ro­gat­ed by police at London’s Heathrow Airport while on his way to an Islamic con­fer­ence in Libya. That same year Florida Police uncov­ered a plot to smug­gle 60 rifles and 10 sub-machine guns to the Bakr’s Muslim group in Trinidad. 

Jamaican offi­cials have con­firmed Bakr was loud and bois­ter­ous when he dis­cov­ered that he would not be allowed to enter the Country. Jamaican Law Enforcement have since moved Bakr to an undis­closed loca­tion until he can be sent back to his native Trinidad. Airline per­son­nel report­ed­ly expressed fear for their safe­ty were Bakr to be returned on the next flight to Trinidad.

In a Country where incon­se­quen­tial guar­an­tees made to mur­der­ing Terrorists would not be hon­ored by a Tribunal, this street Thug would have long been exe­cut­ed for Treason, along­side his cronies. Jamaica has more than enough prob­lems deal­ing with it’s own local thugs , includ­ing those being deport­ed hav­ing com­mit­ted seri­ous crimes in oth­er countries.

The Jamaican Administration denied Bakr entry on the grounds he is a threat to National Security. Jamaica may not be able to keep the destruc­tive cor­ro­sive influ­ence of the likes of Bakr from our shores, but it cer­tain­ly can pre­vent any sym­bol­ism his per­son may convey.

The Coming Persecution Of The Christian Church.

Rome — In the Church’s mes­sage on the occa­sion of the World Day of Peace, Pope Benedict XVI stat­ed that “There is a need to acknowl­edge and pro­mote the nat­ur­al struc­ture of mar­riage as the union of a man and a woman in the face of attempts to make it juridi­cal­ly equiv­a­lent to rad­i­cal­ly dif­fer­ent types of union… …since this con­sti­tutes an offence against the truth of the human per­son, with seri­ous harm to jus­tice and peace.”

Co-Founder of the Everyone group Italy Roberto Malini wrote a scathing Article on the Website http://​www​.tol​er​ance​.ca/.

Titled : Pope Benedict XVI pro­motes hatred towards Gays.

A few days before, the pon­tiff had received with full hon­ours at St. Peter’s, the President of the Ugandan Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, the pro­mot­er of the law against homo­sex­u­al­i­ty in Uganda, which pro­vides for the repres­sion of homo­sex­u­al­i­ty and penal­ties rang­ing from heavy prison sen­tences up to life impris­on­ment, and even cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment for gays.

This is an atti­tude marked by hatred and con­trary to the Holy Gospel, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. EveryOne Group, Gays Without Borders and civ­il soci­ety are now launch­ing a com­plaint against this incite­ment to dis­crim­i­na­tion and hatred. It is also impor­tant to ask the bish­ops to dis­so­ci­ate them­selves from this dis­crim­i­na­to­ry position.

The Catholic Church has returned to the Middle Ages. Below is a brief his­to­ry, with some inci­dents of homo­pho­bic per­se­cu­tion. The Emperor Justinian, the pro­tec­tor of the Catholic Church, estab­lished the death penal­ty for homo­sex­u­als and pur­sued them along­side the Gentiles and the Jews.

The Monk Pier Damiani led a cru­sade against homo­sex­u­al­i­ty, the foun­da­tions of which are con­tained in the Liber Gomorrhianus, writ­ten in 1049.

One of the statutes of Bologna in 1257, on the Societas Sancte Marie, estab­lished the death penal­ty, by burn­ing at the stake, for homo­sex­u­als and for those who host­ed them in their homes. There were more fires in Switzerland for the vici­um sog­domiticum, in the thir­teenth century.

At Clermont, in France, gays and heretics both per­ished on the stake. In the 14th Century the city of Rome burned homo­sex­u­als, while Florence pre­ferred to cas­trate them. Gays and les­bians were burned in Padua from 1329 and lat­er all over Italy, where peo­ple watched the tor­ture of inno­cent peo­ple as though it were pub­lic enter­tain­ment. Punishment was no dif­fer­ent in Rimini under the “enlight­ened” Malatestas. Identical per­se­cu­tion occurred wher­ev­er the author­i­ties and the papal guards dis­cov­ered rela­tions between per­sons of the same sex.

The Florence of the Medici was a lit­tle less severe: author­i­ties issued fines for the first three homo­sex­u­al rela­tion­ships dis­cov­ered, while for the fourth, they decreed the death of the “repro­bate”. Francesco Sforza in Milan reward­ed with a cash prize the cit­i­zens who denounced gays and les­bians, who were then burnt at the stake.

It has been a ter­ri­ble per­se­cu­tion that has stained civ­i­liza­tion and influ­enced cul­ture, tra­di­tions and reli­gious wor­ship through­out the cen­turies, pre­vent­ing artists, poets and thinkers rep­re­sent­ing homo­sex­u­al­i­ty as a nat­ur­al expres­sion of pas­sion and love, and count­less human beings from liv­ing their nat­ur­al incli­na­tions in peace, with­out fear of pub­lic humil­i­a­tion, tor­ture and death.

The his­to­ry books that chil­dren read in schools fail to men­tion this per­se­cu­tion of homo­sex­u­als through­out his­to­ry: this too is homo­pho­bia. The Church’s hands are stained with the blood of so many inno­cent homo­sex­u­als and it is unac­cept­able that it still aims to be the cham­pi­on of one of the most hor­rif­ic atroc­i­ties in human history.

EveryOne Group and Gays Without Borders are call­ing on the UN and the Council of Europe to pub­licly con­demn the inap­pro­pri­ate words spo­ken by the Pope, to invite the Catholic Church to under­take a path of respect for the LGBT com­mu­ni­ty, and to stop their sup­port for pro­mot­ers of a crim­i­nal law.

Pope Benedict XVI announced on Monday February 11th 2013th that he will resign the Papacy, effec­tive February 28th, cit­ing his declin­ing health. “I have had to rec­og­nize my inca­pac­i­ty to ade­quate­ly ful­fill the min­istry entrust­ed to me,” Benedict wrote in a state­ment. He is the first pope since 1415 to resign the Papacy.

He stud­ied as and holds a degree as a chem­i­cal tech­ni­cian, but then chose the priest­hood and entered the sem­i­nary of Villa Devoto. On 11 March 1958 he moved to the novi­tiate of the Company of Jesus where he fin­ished stud­ies in the human­i­ties in Chile. In 1963, on return­ing to Buenos Aires, he obtained a degree in phi­los­o­phy at the St. Joseph major sem­i­nary of San Miguel.

Between 1964 and 1965 he taught lit­er­a­ture and psy­chol­o­gy at the Immacolata College in Santa Fe and then in 1966 he taught the same sub­jects at the University of El Salvador, in Buenos Aires. From 1967 to 1970 he stud­ied the­ol­o­gy at the St. Joseph major sem­i­nary of San Miguel where he obtained a degree. On 13 December 1969 he was ordained a priest. From 1970 to 1971 he com­plet­ed the third pro­ba­tion at Alcala de Henares, Spain, and on 22 April 1973, pro­nounced his per­pet­u­al vows. http://​www​.news​.va/​e​n​/​n​e​w​s​/​b​i​o​g​r​a​p​h​y​-​w​h​o​-​i​s​-​j​o​r​g​e​-​m​a​r​i​o​-​b​e​r​g​o​g​lio

While Vatican offi­cials have stressed that Church teach­ings against homo­sex­u­al activ­i­ty would not change under pres­sure of pub­lic opin­ion, the doc­u­ment said “many respons­es” called for “the­o­log­i­cal study in dia­logue with the human sci­ences to devel­op a mul­ti-faceted look at the phe­nom­e­non of homosexuality”.The bish­ops will dis­cuss the paper in October and could make rec­om­men­da­tions on changes to Church teach­ings, on which the Pope would decide.

Gay rights groups were esta­t­ic on Monday October 13th 2014, in a draft doc­u­ment from a group of bish­ops and priests sug­gest­ed the church could be more wel­com­ing to the gay com­mu­ni­ty. “Homosexuals have gifts and qual­i­ties to offer to the Christian com­mu­ni­ty,” they wrote. “Are we capa­ble of wel­com­ing these peo­ple, guar­an­tee­ing to them a fra­ter­nal space in our communities?

CNN Snarled, quote: The Catholic church can’t have it both ways on gay rights.

Either it must take steps to accept gay and les­bian peo­ple as part of its flock — includ­ing them as full mem­bers, embrac­ing their unions, decry­ing Catholic schools that fire gay and les­bian teach­ers and call­ing for the full pro­tec­tion of LGBT peo­ple around the world. Or it can go back to empha­siz­ing its con­dem­na­tion of homo­sex­u­al acts as “intrin­si­cal­ly dis­or­dered,” as it does in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The cur­rent mid­dle ground — with church lead­ers say­ing “homo­sex­u­als have gifts and qual­i­ties to offer the Christian com­mu­ni­ty,” but not ful­ly embrac­ing them as equal humans in the church and under the law — is unsus­tain­able and dangerous.

What does the Bible say about Homosexuality?

Romans 1−26−28.

For this rea­son God gave them up to dis­hon­or­able pas­sions. For their women exchanged nat­ur­al rela­tions for those that are con­trary to nature; 27 and the men like­wise gave up nat­ur­al rela­tions with women and were con­sumed with pas­sion for one another,men com­mit­ting shame­less acts with men and receiv­ing in them­selves the due penal­ty for their error.28 And since they did not see fit to acknowl­edge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

1 Corinthians 6:9 – 10 — “Do you not know that the wicked will not inher­it the king­dom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sex­u­al­ly immoral nor idol­aters nor adul­ter­ers nor male pros­ti­tutes nor homo­sex­u­al offend­ers nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunk­ards nor slan­der­ers nor swindlers will inher­it the king­dom of God.”

1 Corinthians 6:11 — “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanc­ti­fied, you were jus­ti­fied in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

1 Timothy 1:10 – 11– The sex­u­al­ly immoral, men who prac­tice homo­sex­u­al­i­ty, enslavers, liars, per­jur­ers, and what­ev­er else is con­trary to sound doc­trine, in accor­dance with the gospel of the glo­ry of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Jude 1:4 . For there are cer­tain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this con­dem­na­tion, ungod­ly men, turn­ing the grace of our God into las­civ­i­ous­ness, and deny­ing the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude 1:7 . Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like man­ner, giv­ing them­selves over to for­ni­ca­tion, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an exam­ple, suf­fer­ing the vengeance of eter­nal fire.

Jude speaks par­tic­u­lar­ly harsh about Homosexuality . Jude select­ed strong lan­guage to con­vey the seri­ous­ness of the charge fac­ing the church. Allowing Homosexuals into Christian fel­low­ship with­out apply­ing the same stan­dards of admis­sion , with com­plete Repentance , and an acknowl­edge­ment that the prac­tice of Homosexuality is an abhor­rent sin, as is the stan­dard applied to oth­er sin­ners, will be the spir­i­tu­al death knell for the church. Repentance is the major action a sin­ner must take to be accept­ed into the fam­i­ly of God.

Do not be deceived
Do not be deceived

On May 9th 2012 President Barack Obama announced he was in sup­port of Homosexual mar­riage. Mr. Obama was the first sit­ting U.S. pres­i­dent to pub­licly sup­port gay marriage.His pre­de­ces­sor George W Bush affir­ma­tive­ly stat­ed that mar­riage was between a man and a woman. Obama’s Vice President Joe Biden had pre­empt­ed his boss by announc­ing his sup­port ear­li­er for gay marriage.

This leads us to ask, why did Pope Benedict sud­den­ly decide to step aside? What does this mean as it relates to Biblical Prophesy? The answers are in the Scriptures. Romans 1:26 – 28 For this rea­son God gave them up to dis­hon­or­able pas­sions. For their women exchanged nat­ur­al rela­tions for those that are con­trary to nature; 27 and the men like­wise gave up nat­ur­al rela­tions with women and were con­sumed with pas­sion for one another,men com­mit­ting shame­less acts with men and receiv­ing in them­selves the due penal­ty for their error.28 And since they did not see fit to acknowl­edge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

We are in the end time, already busi­ness-peo­ple are being per­se­cut­ed for their prin­ci­pled stance against Homosexuality. Coming soon they will begin the process of tak­ing away tax exemp­tion from Churches whose lead­ers refuse to mar­ry Homosexuals.

Then they will begin to make Criminals of Pastors who refus­es to mar­ry Gays. It will be shroud­ed under the guise of human Rights. What it will be is per­se­cu­tion of the Christian Church in sup­port of the hedo­nis­tic , las­civ­i­ous and demon­ic prac­tice of Homosexuality.

The day is fast approach­ing when Christians will not be able to stand against the sin of homo­sex­u­al­i­ty with­out risk­ing Imprisonment or death. When we see these things how­ev­er we know that our redemp­tion draweth nigh . Thus sayeth the Lord.

Lets Fix Crime In Jamaica

Carl Williams
Carl Williams

Murder in Jamaica is a way of life. Over the last sev­er­al years Jamaica aver­ages approx­i­mate­ly 2.5 homi­cides per day.

With a pop­u­la­tion of 2.7 Million the chances of get­ting killed at any giv­en time is a real cause of dread for the aver­age Jamaican. The like­ly-hood of get­ting killed increas­es dra­mat­i­cal­ly if you are a return­ing res­i­dent, or if some­one gets the idea that you have a few dol­lars in your pockets.

Contract Killings are not inves­ti­gat­ed prop­er­ly, even on the rare occa­sion a Principal trig­ger-man is held account­able. This leaves the brains behind the scenes to go ahead and kill with­out consequence.

It is now time to enhance the process by allow­ing deals with low-lev­el crim­i­nals if they coöper­ate with Investigators and Prosecutors.

Merely rob­bing a vic­tim is not enough, in many cas­es peo­ple are killed even when they com­ply with demands to hand over their prop­er­ty. Killing vic­tims is the norm mere­ly par for the course, or just for the hell of it.

A new Police Commissioner was recent­ly appoint­ed in the per­son of Carl Williams a PhD. We salute Williams and wish him the best even as we are mind­ful that mere­ly putting Willimas a superbly edu­cat­ed indi­vid­ual in charge will do very lit­tle to Curb crime.

It is great to see a PhD head­ing the JCF,not because I believe it makes much dif­fer­ence in the effec­tive­ness of the Department. But that it silences the Island Nation’s Bourgeoisie. At least Williams will be heard , Jamaicans are heav­i­ly invest­ed in Titles.

Chief of Department NYPD Phillip Banks
Chief of Department NYPD Phillip Banks

William Bratton who heads the NYPD the World’s largest Police Department of 46,000 Officers does not have a PhD .

In fact, nei­ther is Chief of Department Phillip Banks, though he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Lincoln University, and is a 2001 grad­u­ate of the Police Management Institute at Columbia University, and also attend­ed Harvard University.

My point is, it hard­ly is how well edu­cat­ed the Top tier of a Police Department is. It nev­er was. It is about a few oth­er things.

(1 A decid­ed mind­set that Crime will not be tol­er­at­ed, nur­tured, or supported.

(2 Passing laws which puts crim­i­nals in Prison and keep them there.

(3 Supporting Law Enforcement Officers in the Lawful Execution of their duties. While mak­ing it clear that abuse of Power and crim­i­nal con­duct will not be tolerated.

(4 Ensuring that Politics has no part in Law Enforcement.

(5 Improving the Criminal Justice System.
(6 Eliminating bases of sup­port for crim­i­nal con­duct by attach­ing seri­ous penal­ties for those who aid and abet crim­i­nals. No dis­tinc­tion should be made between those who are Principals and those who aid and abet.

(7 Train, equip, and pay Officers,while hold­ing them accountable.

Jamaican streets con­tin­ue to run red with the blood of the inno­cent. The killings con­tin­ue because crim­i­nals know they will get away with it when they kill. Even when they are known fear pre­vents any­one from com­ing for­ward. This brings up anoth­er require­ment. Police can no longer depend on eye­wit­ness­es to solve crime. Eyewitness accounts , once thought to be infal­li­ble is now proven to be fal­li­ble. We must improve our Scientific approach to Crime Fighting.

The Government is com­plic­it, at least by default, when it does not do enough to bring cal­lous mur­der­ers and Rapists to Justice. For over four decades this men­tal­i­ty has been the norm. Zones of Political Exclusions were cre­at­ed with a view to keep­ing one Party or the oth­er in Power. Those Zones of Political Exclusions are also Zones of Refuge for known Criminals.

Until this prac­tice is stopped and Law Enforcement has a free hand to do it’s job, Jamaica will remain in the top five most like­ly place to get your­self killed.

Smart Devices/​Consumers Not So Much

dunkinSo I walked into my favorite cof­fee-shop today, the same Dunkin-Donut I vis­it on my way to work dai­ly, except when my wife makes me a cup of cof­fee. The line was long, sur­pris­ing for a Sunday afternoon.

No one seemed to be in a rush, after all it’s lazy Sunday, not exact­ly the Monday morn­ing rush crowd.

As I stood in line wait­ing, I real­ized that most of the peo­ple on-line had their smart phones out, no prob­lem of course. Not at all, peo­ple need some­thing to occu­py their time while they wait. 

What irri­tat­ed me a bit, was real­iz­ing that the rea­son I was  in the same place with­out mov­ing was that the guy giv­ing his order at the head of the line was try­ing to find his order in his smart device. It got me thinking.

There is real­ly noth­ing wrong with using a smart device to store your infor­ma­tion, not at all. What is a prob­lem, is when the device becomes your brain. Am I alone in think­ing that as the devices become smarter ‚many on the con­sumer end are becom­ing less so?

Okay, you are skep­ti­cal, but when you inter­act with the pub­lic dai­ly you get a feel for what I am actu­al­ly talk­ing about. People with smart Devices, unable to tell their phone num­ber. Unable to tell their Cell and inter­net provider. Unable to tell how much they pay each month. That’s a problem.

Not only are peo­ple unable to mem­o­rize the most basic per­son­al infor­ma­tion, it seems we are less able to make sim­ple deci­sions. The pur­chase of a sin­gle piece of Electronic device has to be pho­tographed, a thou­sand ques­tions asked and that infor­ma­tion beamed across hun­dreds ‚some­times thou­sands of miles of Oceans sev­er­al time before a pur­chas­ing deci­sion can be made.

I got to won­der­ing what would hap­pen if we go off-line for a day, make that a week ?It’s not out of the realm of what’s pos­si­ble, tech­nol­o­gy depends on Satellites being in place with­out inter­fer­ence. Properly func­tion­ing Networks deliv­er Data to us at record speed, so much so we for­get to use our Brains as a stor­age device. What if some­thing hap­pens which caus­es all of that free-flow of Data to come to a sud­den stop, what then?

Just a thought !

Julia Pierson Out

Pierson being sworn in by Obama
Pierson being sworn in by Obama

Head of the Secret Service Julia Pierson has resigned. Just yes­ter­day White House Spokesman Josh Earnest mouthed the lines “The President has con­fi­dence in Julia Pierson to do the job” less than a day lat­er Pierson was done.

Obama accept­ed her res­ig­na­tion. So much for con­fi­dence! We applaud the deci­sion of the President to accept her res­ig­na­tion, it is one thing to give some­one a chance to do a job . It is anoth­er thing when seri­ous breach­es as the ones doc­u­ment­ed ‚hap­pen over and over again.

This is not about whether one likes the President or not . It isn’t even a mat­ter of who the President is at a giv­en time. The President of the United States and his fam­i­ly deserves the high­est lev­el of secu­ri­ty. What hap­pened under Julia Pierson was unten­able. Had she remained it would have been impos­si­ble to rebuild trust in the Agency.

On the appoint­ment of Julia Pierson, many includ­ing Major Media Houses crowed that Piersons ele­va­tion meant a break­ing up of the old boys club. th (32)Frankly I am not sure what that means. People should be hired to do the job they are qual­i­fied for and which they are able to do do. It does­n’t mat­ter what gen­der that per­son is.

Despite the crow­ing she was not up to the job, lets hope the next per­son who takes on that seri­ous role, male or female will do a bet­ter job than what occurred on Pierson’s watch.

Shocking New Revelations About The Secret Service Coming To Light

Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz

Yet more shock­ing Revelations com­ing to light in the ongo­ing Saga sur­round­ing the Secret Service and the Security of the President of the United States and his fam­i­ly. New Information com­ing to light reveals that the recent laps­es involv­ing the Secret Service may be just the tip of the Iceberg.

The Washington Post Reports :

A secu­ri­ty con­trac­tor with a gun and three pri­or con­vic­tions for assault and bat­tery was allowed on an ele­va­tor with President Obama dur­ing a Sept. 16 trip to Atlanta, vio­lat­ing Secret Service pro­to­cols, accord­ing to three peo­ple famil­iar with the incident.

President Obama was not told of the lapse in his secu­ri­ty dur­ing his trip. Director Julia Pierson , accord­ing to two peo­ple famil­iar with the inci­dent, took steps to have the mat­ter reviewed inter­nal­ly and did not refer it to an inves­tiga­tive unit that reviews vio­la­tions of pro­to­col and stan­dard. The inci­dent, which rat­tled Secret Service agents assigned to the president’s detail, occurred as Obama vis­it­ed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to dis­cuss the U.S. response to the Ebola cri­sis. The pri­vate con­trac­tor aroused the agents’ con­cerns when he did not com­ply with their orders that he stop using a phone cam­era to video­tape the pres­i­dent in the ele­va­tor, accord­ing to the peo­ple famil­iar with the inci­dent. The man was also act­ed odd­ly, the peo­ple said. Agents ques­tioned the man when they exit­ed the ele­va­tor, and then used a nation­al data­base check to learn of his crim­i­nal history.

When a super­vi­sor from the firm pro­vid­ing secu­ri­ty at the CDC approached and dis­cov­ered the agents’ con­cerns, the con­trac­tor was fired on the spot and agreed to turn over his gun — sur­pris­ing agents, who had not real­ized he was armed dur­ing his encounter with Obama. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R‑Utah), who first heard of the break­down from a whistle­blow­er, said he was appalled at the inci­dent. The Washington Post con­firmed details of the event with oth­er peo­ple famil­iar with the agency’s review. “You have a con­vict­ed felon with­in arm’s reach of the pres­i­dent and they nev­er did a back­ground check,” Chaffetz said. “Words aren’t strong enough for the out­rage I feel for the safe­ty of the President and his family.

Chaffetz added: “His life was in dan­ger. This coun­try would be a dif­fer­ent world today if he had pulled out his gun.”

It is the lat­est in a string of embar­rass­ments for the Secret Service, whose direc­tor, Julia Pierson, drew crit­i­cism Tuesday from law­mak­ers in both par­ties dur­ing a com­bat­ive hear­ing that focused on her agency’s secu­ri­ty laps­es. The hear­ing focused on a man who was able to foil Secret Service offi­cers by jump­ing the White House fence Sept. 19 and also a 2011 shoot­ing at the res­i­dence that the Secret Service failed to iden­ti­fy and prop­er­ly investigate.

The ele­va­tor inci­dent exposed anoth­er seri­ous break­down in the Secret Service’s safe­ty pro­to­cols: this one meant to keep the pres­i­dent safe from strangers when he trav­els to events out­side the White House. In close quar­ters or small events, when the pres­i­dent is on the road, all of the peo­ple who could have access to him must be checked in advance for weapons and any crim­i­nal his­to­ry. In response to a ques­tion at the hear­ing Tuesday, Pierson said she briefs the pres­i­dent “100% of the time” when his per­son­al secu­ri­ty has been breached. However, she said Tuesday that has only hap­pened one time this year: soon after Omar Gonzalez jumped over the White House fence Sept. 19 and was able to burst into the man­sion. A Secret Service spokesman said the agency would pro­vide a response soon. Some ele­ments of the Atlanta inci­dent were first report­ed Tuesday after­noon on the Washington Examiner’s web­site. The secu­ri­ty con­trac­tor became upset with agents who asked him to stop film­ing the pres­i­dent with his cam­era phone, behav­ior that led agents to ques­tion him.

Under a secu­ri­ty pro­gram called the Arm’s Reach Program, Secret Service advance staff run poten­tial staff, con­trac­tors, hotel employ­ees, invit­ed guests and vol­un­teers through sev­er­al data­bas­es, includ­ing a nation­al crim­i­nal infor­ma­tion reg­istry, and records kept by the CIA, NSA and Department of Defense, among oth­ers. Anyone who is found to have a crim­i­nal his­to­ry, men­tal ill­ness, or oth­er indi­ca­tions of risk is barred from entry. Local police and fed­er­al offi­cers are not checked in the same way under the Arm’s Reach Program, with the Secret Service pre­sum­ing they meet the safe­ty stan­dards because of their employ­ment. But pri­vate secu­ri­ty con­trac­tors would be checked, two for­mer agents who worked on advance plan­ning for pres­i­den­tial trips said.

Two for­mer advance agents said that, for near­ly every trip, some­one would be barred from attend­ing or par­tic­i­pat­ing in a pres­i­den­tial trip because of some pri­or or cur­rent prob­lem found in a check of their name. Usually, it involved a local Democratic or Republican par­ty cam­paign vol­un­teer who was offer­ing to help dri­ve staff to and from events dur­ing the vis­it – but had an assault conviction.Former and cur­rent agents say this method is

Secret Service head  Julia Pearson
Secret Service head
Julia Pierson

For weeks the Nation has been inun­dat­ed with News about the National Football League, there is no escap­ing the con­tin­u­ous bar­rage of con­dem­na­tion for Ray Rice who punched his fiancé Janay Rice ]née Palmer. Just today a group of female Lawmakers in the State of New Jersey renewed calls for the fir­ing of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Where are these Feminist Ideologues now that the Nation’s 44th, and first African American President and his fam­i­ly seem to be sub­ject­ed to abject care­less­ness and incom­pe­tence at the least and at worse much more ? Clearly Julia Pierson is not up to doing this Job. It should come as no sur­prise that the President can­not come out against the Secret Service, he has to depend on them to pro­tect him and his fam­i­ly for the rest of their lives. It falls on the Congress to pro­vide the nec­es­sary oversight .

Where is the oversight?

Why does Julia Pierson still have this job ? Is she up to the job? Was that female Agent who was run over by Omar Gonzalez up to the job? What if the President or any mem­ber of his fam­i­ly was in the vicin­i­ty of Gonzalez’s path? Why was any­one not known to the Secret Service allowed on an ele­va­tor with the President of the United States? Why are quo­tas and polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness allowed to trump the safe­ty and secu­ri­ty of the President?

In a World where men dare not ques­tion the capa­bil­i­ties of women to do cer­tain jobs, these are the con­se­quences. Where are the calls for this woman to be boot­ed from this posi­tion, where she is clear­ly in over her head.. Why put a woman in a posi­tion where she would be over-run and obvi­ous­ly unable to react? What will be the price paid before this polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness non­sense end. Obama for his part is one of the Chief pro­po­nent of this out of con­trol polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness which will invari­ably have dire con­se­quences for the coun­try. Judging from Pierson’s con­fus­ing respons­es and the sequence seri­ous laps­es by the Secret Service,including on over­seas trips. One is left to won­der at the real dan­ger to this President and his fam­i­ly if an attack was well coör­di­nat­ed and exe­cut­ed by a group of peo­ple who know what they are doing!!

This is a seri­ous breach of secu­ri­ty as ever, if ever there was one. Yet there is an almost deaf­en­ing silence . Where is the out­rage How can an Agency with a man­date to pro­tect the Nation’s Chief Executive fail so dis­mal­ly and the head stays intact? What will have to hap­pen before Julia Pierson is boot­ed from this job and a com­pre­hen­sive Review done to ensure that these things nev­er ever hap­pen again, Irrespective of who the President is?

Only time or a seri­ous event will tell.

We Ask Again How Safe Is President Obama In Light Of These Revelations

The much ignored sto­ry of Omar Gonzales a 42 year old Iraq Veteran who scaled the White House fence ran across the Lawns and entered the res­i­dence of the President of The United States is now gath­er­ing steam. CNN now reports.The man who jumped the White House fence ear­li­er this month and breached the mansion’s doors actu­al­ly made it far­ther than orig­i­nal­ly thought, offi­cials said Monday.

cq5dam.web.1280.1280

Officially thought by whom? What was the offi­cial report giv­en about this inci­dent? Why would it require a whis­tle-blow­er to tell a Politician, Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz a mem­ber of the over­sight com­mit­tee that Gonzalez ran through much of the main floor, past a stair­way that leads up to the first family’s res­i­dence, and was ulti­mate­ly stopped at the far south­ern end of the East Room. He also reached the door­way to the Green Room, an area that looks out on the South Lawn. New infor­ma­tion sur­faced that one Secret Service Agent was over­pow­ered by Gonzalez before he was ulti­mate­ly sub­dued. The Secret Service had pre­vi­ous­ly stat­ed that Gonzalez was stopped after enter­ing the front door of the North Portico. Why would the Secret Service delib­er­ate­ly lie about this? Chaffetz con­firmed the details of what now appears to be a wild chase through the main floor of the White House, first report­ed by theWashington Post.

East Room
East Room

Chaffetz a Republican could not miss an oppor­tu­ni­ty to play pol­i­tics how­ev­er , say­ing quote: “I could not be more proud of the indi­vid­ual agents, but I wor­ry that Director (Julia) Pierson and the lead­er­ship there at the Secret Service is fail­ing them,”. It would have been a mod­ern day mir­a­cle had a Republican dealt with a seri­ous issue with­out resort­ing to politics.

I’m not sure what Jason Chaffetz knows about secu­ri­ty, what I do know is that no one should be proud of those Agents who were work­ing that day. All of them who were involved let the President his fam­i­ly and ulti­mate­ly the Country down. It is incom­pre­hen­si­ble that any Security Officer worth his/​her train­ing would allow an intrud­er to breach the fence , sprint across the Lawn and enter the home of the leader of the free world with­out tak­ing him out. To those talk­ing about the restraint, I say “bull”. Where was the restraint when they shot Miriam Carey?

This was not restraint. What hap­pened was an egre­gious dere­lic­tion of duty ! Gonzalez was armed with a knife, accord­ing to reports. For all those Agents knew he could have had a gun, he could have had a bomb. What if he had a bomb strapped to him­self and a tim­ing device. This is beyond seri­ous. The President and his Family could have been there, they could have been hurt or worse. This is as seri­ous a breach as ever in this Agency’s long list of foul-ups in their mis­sion to pro­tect the first fam­i­ly. Never have we heard of this lev­el of care­less­ness and incom­pe­tence in the pro­tec­tion of an American President.

Which leads us to ask whether this is incom­pe­tence or is there some­thing else going on? Can we even trust this ver­sion of events when there has been so many dif­fer­ent sto­ries com­ing from that Agency?

To sug­gest that Gonzalez suf­fers from PTSD is beside the point. Miriam Carey was suf­fer­ing from Post Partum Depression and she is dead. Restraint is being legal­ly jus­ti­fied in killing but refrain­ing from doing so because it is avoid­able. When you have a duty to pro­tect the President and his fam­i­ly and you allow that kind of breach to occur it is not restraint. It is incompetence.

The Hidden Agenda Of Those Who Shape Your Views

It’s impos­si­ble to turn on the Tv , log onto the Internet , or even lis­ten to an all oldies music sta­tion with­out being bom­bard­ed with news of the NFL’s Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, or Johnathan Dwyer. Yes, even the Disc Jockeys on the oldies music sta­tion I lis­ten to can­not help them­selves. They stop the music to flap their gums about Domestic violence.

I could­n’t put my fin­ger on what it was that unit­ed all of these dif­fer­ent groups and indi­vid­u­als around a com­mon cause. After all Racism has been in America for over 400 years, most wont men­tion it but will quick­ly deny it’s exis­tence. I have a feel­ing the rea­sons behind the vis­cer­al con­dem­na­tion of the trio of wealthy black men by those old white males have pre­cious lit­tle to do with domes­tic vio­lence. That how­ev­er is a con­ver­sa­tion for anoth­er day.

As I have said mul­ti­ple times, what Ray Rice did was not fun­ny , it was crim­i­nal, Period.

Tlhe NFL has had a his­to­ry of Violence. Not just domes­tic vio­lence of the type we saw in that ele­va­tor video, or what Johnathan Dwyer is accused of doing. Let alone Adrian Peterson spank­ing his kids leav­ing marks. Several Former and cur­rent play­ers have been involved in seri­ous felonies to include Murder.

Was the Ray Rice deck­ing of his then fiancé Janay Palmer the straw which broke the prover­bial Camel’s back?

Or was this Tsunami cre­at­ed to drown out some­thing else? Roger Goodell has been suc­cess­ful as Commissioner of the NFL . Does any­one rea­son­ably believe that NFL Owners who vot­ed (33 to 8 in favor of Goodell for Commissioner in 2006, with the Oakland Raiders abstain­ing, were going to show him the door?

Which brings us to what was front and cen­ter in the News, when the Ray rice ele­va­tor video was exhumed. .

POLICE KILLINGS

Ronald Ritchie

Why is it that peo­ple do not want to face the fact that Police Officers are ille­gal­ly killing and seri­ous­ly hurt­ing inno­cent people?

As I’m writ­ing this a Ohio Grand Jury ruled that Cops act­ed prop­er­ly in the Walmart killing of John Crawford III, a 22-year-old black man. According to the web­site Gawker​.com 

Ronald Ritchie, the 24-year-old who made that 911 call, is amend­ing what he orig­i­nal­ly told police and reporters about the Aug. 5 inci­dent. Ritchie, to the dis­patch­er: “He’s, like, point­ing it at peo­ple.” He also said in the call that Crawford was try­ing to load the gun, caus­ing 911 to tell offi­cers, “he just put some bul­lets inside.”

Ritchie, to reporters at the time: “He was point­ing at peo­ple. Children walk­ing by.” Ritchie in the Guardian this week: “At no point did he shoul­der the rifle and point it at some­body.” Well, that’s cer­tain­ly a dif­fer­ent sto­ry. What changed dur­ing the past month?

John Crawford

Ritchie says he was allowed to view the sealed secu­ri­ty video, recent­ly shown to Crawford’s fam­i­ly and their attor­neys, that report­ed­ly shows Crawford nev­er lift­ed the BB gun and was on the phone and stand­ing still when offi­cers shot and killed him.

Will this liar be held account­able for what he did ? Don’t hold your breath, it was only a black man who died.

We do not know how Cops dealt with this case, as a for­mer cop I will not begin to sec­ond guess what occurred in this par­tic­u­lar case. From all indi­ca­tions they lied about yelling out orders before fir­ing 5 bul­lets into his body. Eye-wit­ness­es account indi­cate he nev­er knew what hit him. These Cops know they would nev­er be held account­able for killing Crawford. All is required is that they plant a fab­ri­cat­ed sto­ry in the Main stream Media that Crawford was wav­ing around the air rifle. They would do the rest. Even when evi­dence sur­faced that he was­n’t they still con­tin­ue the lie.

The Grand Juries are gen­er­al­ly made up of the most pro-Police peo­ple, who lack objec­tive think­ing. Usually rel­a­tives of cops. In the United States the Grand Jury process involv­ing Cops is a grave mis-car­riage of Justice for the fam­i­lies of those wrong­ful­ly killed by Police. There is no Justice in them.

Eric Garner

As if that killing was­n’t bad enough, there were mul­ti­ple oth­er killings in the News which sim­ply would­n’t go away. Staten Island Native 43 year old Eric Garner was killed by NYPD cops who used a two decades old banned choke hold.Garner was accused of alleged­ly sell­ing un-taxed cig­a­rettes. In Ferguson Missouri an unarmed 18 year old Michael Brown was gunned down by Police offi­cer Darren Wilson. Brown was­n’t even accused of com­mit­ting a crime.

In St Louis County a few miles from where Brownwas exe­cut­ed Kijame Powell a 25 year old black man of unsound mind was sum­mar­i­ly gunned down by police 23 sec­onds after

Michael Brown

arriv­ing on scene. Powell was alleged­ly act­ing weird , but had not hurt any­one. Cops arrived and imme­di­ate­ly esca­lat­ed what from video evi­dence was a non-issue, then sum­mar­i­ly exe­cut­ed him on the spot. This even as ten­sions were run­ning extreme­ly high in Ferguson a few miles away. Those cops did not stop to think what if we don’t get away with this?

In Saratoga Springs. …Utah 22 year old Darren Hunt was killed by police, 6 bul­lets to the back, he was car­ry­ing a sword. Eyewitnesses say he was run­ning from

cops.

These are just a few of the black men who were killed in quick suc­ces­sion across the coun­try. This does not include the vis­cous assaults cops com­mit­ted on men and women of col­or which did not result in death. The media need­ed to find some­thing else to talk about. The already League lit­i­gat­ed Ray Rice sto­ry was resus­ci­tat­ed and giv­en new life to take the heat off cops and it worked.

In the mean­time Criminal cops could go back to what they were doing . abus­ing and killing with­out con­se­quence. There are good cops in every police depart­ment. If you are a good cop read­ing this and you do noth­ing when your col­leagues do these things, you are not a good cop. You are a criminal.

Unfortunately none of the cow­ard­ly grand-standers will have the courage, char­ac­ter or integri­ty to stand with preg­nant Sandra Amezquita, 44, who was thrown to the ground by NYPD cops.” Seriously though, what kind of cop does that? A Lawyer speak­ing on behalf of the woman said “Her bel­ly is now with black and blue bruis­es. She’s bleed­ing and she’s hav­ing complications.”

Sandra Amezquita,
Sandra Amezquita,

Sandra Amezquita, stepped in to pro­tect her 17 year old son who was being stopped and frisked by Cops of the Brooklyn 72 Precinct. This hap­pened less than a week after an offi­cer from the same precinct was sus­pend­ed for kick­ing a street ven­dor, accord­ing to WABC.

Ray Rice is cru­ci­fied for punch­ing out his fiancé, and cor­rect­ly so. What should hap­pen to Cowardly cops who do this to a preg­nant woman?Or are we to believe it is okay for cops abuse women but no one else is allowed?

After all the Government is ready to cru­ci­fy Adrian Peterson for dis­ci­plin­ing his chil­dren he’s not sup­posed to. But it’s per­fect­ly with­in the realms of accept­abil­i­ty for the Government’s paid enforcers to mete out what­ev­er pun­ish­ment they see fit includ­ing death with­out consequence.

Who will bell this can­cer­ous cat? The silence will be deaf­en­ing, guar­an­teed. I am wait­ing to see the tough-guys who want­ed a piece of Ray Rice stand up and demand jus­tice for this preg­nant mother.

I won’t hold my breath, I did say you were hyp­ocrites and frauds. You are hyp­ocrites and frauds !

Family Demands New Probe As Jury Fails To Finger Culprit

Henry

According to pre­sid­ing coro­ner Patrick Murphy, the sev­en-mem­ber jury, in their unan­i­mous ver­dict, con­clud­ed that “rat insec­ti­cide” was the agent used to poi­son the for­mer com­mand­ing offi­cer for the trou­bled Clarendon divi­sion that has been linked to the death squad inves­ti­ga­tion. “They [jurors] agreed that he was poi­soned, but they don’t have the infor­ma­tion to say how he was poi­soned or who poi­soned him,” Murphy explained. The ver­dict, which came after 35 min­utes of delib­er­a­tion, means that if new infor­ma­tion is uncov­ered, the police can reopen the probe into Henry’s death. As is report­ed in the JAMAICA GLEANER .

I have dogged­ly fol­lowed this case from the moment I heard that SSP Dathan (Duffy Henry was Hospitalized. To those who do not know him, SSP Henry Officer in charge of the Parish of Clarendon. To Me he was Duffy. Duffy and I served at the Constant Spring CIB in the late 1980’s to ear­ly 1990’s I was pro­mot­ed Acting Corporal. We sat the Accelerated Exams togeth­er we both passed. I left the Force in 1991 Duffy stayed . I was proud but not sur­prised to see Duffy climb the lad­der to the rank of SSP rather rapidly.

He was smart , and curi­ous. No mat­ter what sit­u­a­tion you are in he could make you laugh , he was just an all around good guy. I spoke to him just months before he died, by phone from New York . He had­n’t changed a bit , same Duffy !

From the begin­ning the streets had it that he was poi­soned, any­one famil­iar with us Jamaicans

Dayton-Henry
Dayton-Henry

know once there is a rumor cir­cu­lat­ing in the streets , it bears inves­ti­gat­ing. I have writ­ten sev­er­al Articles since his death. I did so to keep the case alive, so some­one would be brought to jus­tice for killing him.

As I said in a pre­vi­ous Article, a Coroner’s Jury can­not say who poi­soned Dathan Henry . It can only say that his death is a Homicide. Well guess what? Everyone sus­pect­ed that. The Jury has said that he was sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly poi­soned mean­ing he was poi­soned over a peri­od of time.

My great­est fear after Duffy’s death was that the so-called Detectives at the Major Investigations task­force (MIT) inves­ti­gat­ing his death would not be worth a damn nickel.

This will be upset­ting to many past and present mem­bers, frankly I don’t real­ly care. These Detectives today can­not inves­ti­gate a crime com­mit­ted in their view. They are prac­ti­cal­ly worth­less when it comes to doing a prop­er Investigation clos­ing all the loop-holes and bring­ing a cred­i­ble case to Prosecution.

I wrote rather point­ed­ly dur­ing this peri­od of wait­ing, beseech­ing the Police to con­tin­ue to do a thor­ough Investigation with a view to bring­ing the perpetrator‑s to jus­tice for killing this man. Even as I did , I was nev­er con­vinced they had the abil­i­ty to con­duct a cred­i­ble Investigation.

Never once, In the time since I left the Force have I ever wished I was still serv­ing, until now. I may come off a bit arro­gant, but so be it. If I was serv­ing I would have done every­thing in my pow­er to help in bring­ing Dathan Henry’s killer/​s to Justice , and she/​he would be convicted.

Roxan Henry, SSP Henry’s broth­er and the fam­i­ly spokesman, made it clear that they will con­tin­ue their push to have the police con­duct a more detailed probe and are con­tem­plat­ing hir­ing an attor­ney to ensure that this happens.

The prob­lem with this is, that the incom­pe­tent Police Department is still nec­es­sary. Yes an Attorney can watch pro­ceed­ings on behalf of the fam­i­ly but it requires good police work to bring the perpetrator/​s to jus­tice. The kind of Investigation which ceased to exist many years ago.

It is sad but the JCF owes this fam­i­ly a con­vic­tion. Dathan Duffy Henry was a smart young man who could have done any­thing he chose to with his life. He chose the Police Department. It is a sad indict­ment on that Department that it can­not bring to jus­tice the killer/​s one of one of it’s best and bright­est stars. “He did not poi­son him­self … he did not com­mit sui­cide. Someone poi­soned him,” Roxan Henry insist­ed. He cer­tain­ly did not , his killer/​s are walk­ing around right there in Jamaica.

How Secure Is The President When All The Hype About The Secret Service Is Peeled Away

The White House
The White House

The Secret Service chief has stepped-up secu­ri­ty out­side the White House after a man with a knife who jumped the fence made it into the pres­i­den­tial res­i­dence before being appre­hend­ed, offi­cials said Saturday.This was report­ed by the huff​in​g​ton​post​.com

Seriously the man had time to Jump a fence, cross the lawns and enter the res­i­dence of the President of The United States of America , and by the way it is report­ed that the man was armed with a fold­ing knife. There are so many things wrong with this pic­ture that I will come back to it.

It is report­ed that President Barack Obama insist­ed he still has con­fi­dence in the belea­guered agen­cy’s abil­i­ty to pro­tect him and his family.

After the fact
After the fact

What else is he going to say? He still has to depend on them to pro­tect him for not only the remain­der of his tenure in office but for the remain­der of his life. It is not the first time that there has been foul-up by this Agency, involv­ing this President.

in March Agents were in the Netherlands as part of a con­tin­gent prepar­ing for President Obama’s vis­it. According to offi­cials, one Secret Service agent was found intox­i­cat­ed and passed out in the hall­way of his hotel. Hotel staff sub­se­quent­ly alert­ed U.S. author­i­ties. This agent and two oth­ers — who were his com­pan­ions on a night out drink­ing in the Dutch cap­i­tal — were dis­ci­plined by being sent home for not exer­cis­ing bet­ter judgment.

How is it that someone can scale the fence , spring across the lawn and enter the President's residence unscathed?
How is it that some­one can scale the fence , sprint across the lawn and enter the President’s res­i­dence unscathed?

Nearly two years ago an advance team ahead of an Obama vis­it to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas got drunk. In that case, Secret Service agents hit the clubs of Cartagena for a night of drink­ing that end­ed with them bring­ing pros­ti­tutes back to their hotel. The agency imme­di­ate­ly pulled 11 agents alleged­ly involved in the scan­dal from Obama’s secu­ri­ty detail, put them on admin­is­tra­tive leave and removed their secu­ri­ty clearances.

How much is enough? The media is engrossed in a feed­ing fren­zy sur­round­ing the Ray Rice Elevator inci­dent , They just won’t let it go. Yes what Rice did was despi­ca­ble, but now it’s much larg­er than Rice . Every lit­tle Racist turd has now crawled out of their hole and is now pass­ing Judgement. This is an issue of National Import. Where is the cov­er­age? Or are we to assume that the Nation’s first black fam­i­ly in the White House is unde­serv­ing of the pro­tec­tion com­men­su­rate with the office? The same pro­tec­tion afford­ed pre­vi­ous occu­pants of the White House.

President Barack Obama and his daugh­ter had just left the White House by heli­copter on Friday evening when the Secret Service says 42-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez scaled the fence, dart­ing across the lawn and through the unlocked North Portico doors before offi­cers final­ly tack­led him. Officials had orig­i­nal­ly said that Gonzalez appeared unarmed as he sprint­ed across the lawn — poten­tial­ly one rea­son agents did­n’t shoot him or release their ser­vice dogs to detain him.

This is a ridicu­lous­ly absurd state­ment, designed only to cov­er their ass­es? How could they make that deter­mi­na­tion while he was run­ning toward the President’s Residence? It must be con­strued that any­one who unlaw­ful­ly breach­es the fence sur­round­ing the White House and tries to enter the Building has mal-intent ! What if he had a bomb strapped to his body ‚or sim­ply had one in his pos­ses­sion? How could they tell he did­n’t have a gun? Did they see the knife while he was run­ning ? Isn’t a knife a weapon capa­ble of killing some­one? Did they think about that state­ment before they con­coct­ed it? Who made that deci­sion not to take out that intrud­er? Would a black intrud­er have been giv­en that ben­e­fit? The answer is no!

34 year old Miriam Carey before she was killed by Secret Service and Capitol Police
34 year old Miriam Carey before she was killed by Secret Service and Capitol Police

That state­ment does not stand scruti­ny. They had no prob­lem killing 34-year-old Miriam Carey, of Stamford, Conn. on Friday Oct 4th Last year. The inci­dent began at about 2:30 p.m. at the White House gates at 15th and E streets NW. Police say Carey had attempt­ed to ram a tem­po­rary secu­ri­ty bar­ri­er out­side the White House with her car, then struck a Secret Service uni­formed divi­sion offi­cer. She then fled the scene, lead­ing police on a chase. Carey had her one year-old baby in the car at the time, This did not stop Secret Service and Capitol Police from killing her. Carey’s moth­er said her daugh­ter was suf­fer­ing from post-par­tum depression.

If some­one breached the pri­vate sanc­tum of my home with­out my per­mis­sion I would be livid. This guy breached the Residence of the leader of the free world and there is no con­se­quences. What if this is a dry run? The President and his fam­i­ly were not at home at the time. What if they were? As the Media spot­light blazes and the pontificaters

They had no compunction about pumping bullets into Miriam Carey
They had no com­punc­tion about pump­ing bul­lets into Miriam Carey

grand­stand about Ray Rice and whether Roger Goodell should be fired the real seri­ous issues are receiv­ing no atten­tion . As I said in a pre­vi­ous Article, all of this noise about the NFL, though of some mer­it, is being done to drown out the calls for atten­tion to the killing of black men across America by Police.

With all of the hype sur­round­ing the Secret Service , I am yet to be con­vinced that this is a pro­fes­sion­al agency which takes the safe­ty of the Nation’s chief exec­u­tive and his fam­i­ly seri­ous­ly. Those wish­ing to do the President and his fam­i­ly harm only has to be right once. They seem to be get­ting a hell of a lot of oppor­tu­ni­ty toward that end.

Noise About NFL Designed To Stop Talk Of Police Killings

Over the last month or so there has been a lot of Press sur­round­ing the Police Killing of young men of color.The list of those killed or oth­er­wise abused is long. These are just a few of the lives which were snuffed out by police. Many insists none of these men need­ed to die.

Which leads us to ask, “when did police become Agents of Execution”? I though Police Officers were sup­posed to serve and pro­tect ! Who are Police Officers pro­tect­ing and serv­ing these days? The Media Spotlight was focused for a week on Ferguson Missouri, as the hor­rif­ic killing of Michael Brown gripped peo­ple in America with souls and con­sciences. Now this does not apply to some, in this coun­try cer­tain quar­ters are only con­cerned when mem­bers of a cer­tain group are killed.

Then every­thing comes to a halt and every­one is inun­dat­ed with blan­ket wall-to-wall griev­ing and com­men­tary. Despite the blood-let­ting of young African-Americans those con­cerned were main­ly , .….. well .……African-Americans.

So how do you qui­et all of this talk about Police abuse?

Wait, I got it, we will turn the con­ver­sa­tion around .We will once again high­light just how vio­lent Young African men are, that is why they are get­ting killed. But just how do we do that? … wait , wait, it will come to me.….…

Got it, we will go straight to the NFL ‚there are a lot of big, strong , abu­sive black men there, bingo.

The NFL has a his­to­ry of abuse of all kinds by it’s play­ers , Black, White , and what­ev­er oth­er col­or they come in . Domestic abuse, sex­u­al abuse, what­ev­er. They do it.)

1) Ask Ben Roethlisberger ‚On July 17, 2009, a civ­il suit was filed in Washoe County, Nevada District Court accus­ing Roethlisberger of sex­u­al­ly assault­ing Andrea McNulty, 31, in June 2008 in his hotel room while he was in Lake Tahoe for a celebri­ty golf tournament.

2) On March 5, 2010, it was revealed that police in Milledgeville, Georgia were inves­ti­gat­ing Roethlisberger for a sex­u­al assault inside the wom­en’s restroom of the Capital City night­club. The accuser was treat­ed at Oconee Regional Medical Center. An emer­gency-room doc­tor and two nurs­es exam­ined her and not­ed in their report a “super­fi­cial lac­er­a­tion and bruis­ing and slight bleed­ing in the gen­i­tal area”, but could not say if trau­ma or sex­u­al assault was the cause. Milledgeville Police Sergeant Jerry Blash, who had posed for a pho­to­graph with Roethlisberger ear­li­er in the evening, was the first offi­cer to respond. At the scene, he made a com­ment about the accuser to Barravecchio: “We have a prob­lem, this drunk­en [exple­tive], drunk off her ass, is accus­ing Ben of rape.” Blash lat­er admit­ted den­i­grat­ing the accuser and nev­er for­mal­ly ques­tion­ing Roethlisberger; he did speak to the NFL play­er and his off-duty police body­guards at the Capital City club, but accord­ing to Blash’s own report, Roethlisberger was hard­ly engaged and spent most of the time on his phone.[14]wikipedia

No charges were ever filed against Roethlisberger. In fact it appears the Police cov­ered his ass.

The listof play­ers who have run afoul of the law is well established.

Aaron Hernandez charged with dou­ble murder.

Ray Lewis charged and exon­er­at­ed of Murder.

Rae Carruth Sentenced for con­spir­a­cy to mur­der . In prison.

Hubert D. Thompson mur­der of a 66 year old man. In prison.

Barret Robbins Attempted mur­der , dis­s­a­peared since 2007.

Jim Dunaway Murder, reduced to wrong­ful death for the killing of his wife.

Tommy Kane Manslaughter.

O. J. Simpson Murder , exon­ner­at­ed , doing time for rob­bing his own prop­er­ty, in essence doing time for the mur­ders he was not con­vict­ed of .

It’s not like the NFL has not been full of vio­lent men for a long time. So why all of a sud­den are we bom­bard­ed with round the clock cov­er­age about wife punch­ers, head-but­ters and child spankers, when the League was always filled with mur­der­ers and sex offenders?

It is to change the sub­ject . Guess what the sub­ject is changed and you did­n’t even notice. These peo­ple are awful­ly slick.

Minnesota Gov. Shows Himself As A Flaming Hypocrite

Mark Dayton
Mark Dayton

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is pub­licly urg­ing the Minnesota Vikings to sus­pend embat­tled run­ning back Adrian Peterson until his ongo­ing child abuse alle­ga­tions have been set­tled. Peterson was rein­stat­ed Monday just hours before alle­ga­tions of a sec­ond inci­dent with anoth­er one of his four-year-old sons came to light. “It is an awful sit­u­a­tion,” Dayton said in a writ­ten state­ment issued from his office in St. Paul.

Yes, Mr. Peterson is enti­tled to due process and should be ‘inno­cent until proven guilty.’ However, he is a pub­lic fig­ure; and his actions, as described, are a pub­lic embar­rass­ment to the Vikings orga­ni­za­tion and the State of Minnesota. Whipping a child to the extent of vis­i­ble wounds, as has been alleged, should not be tol­er­at­ed in our state. Therefore, I believe the team should sus­pend Mr. Peterson, until the accu­sa­tions of child abuse have been resolved by the crim­i­nal jus­tice system.”

What a flam­ing hyp­ocrite, sure Adrian Peterson’s right to due process must be sus­pend­ed to ensure that the Vikings Organization and the State of Minnesota be saved embar­rass­ment. Never mind that Peterson has not yet got­ten his day in court.

Where does Politicians get off telling pri­vate com­pa­nies how to run their busi­ness­es any­way? Here’s a word of advise to the good­ly Governor, take your script­ed state­ment back . Re-word it then re-write it . Here’s what you should say ““Yes, Mr. Peterson is enti­tled to due process and should be ‘inno­cent until proven guilty.‘Signed: Mark Dayton.

You see Governor, after that line every­thing you said revealed you to be a med­dling hypocrite.

Governor here is what you should hang your damn head about .This is what’s shame­ful , please remove the hood from your face for a minute and look at what your KKK mem­bers dressed as cops are doing while you med­dle in what does not con­cern you .

Oh by the way this hap­pened on your watch. So there are no excus­es. You see Governor Dayton the high­er you climb is the more you expose your­self. Look at the abu­sive KKK mem­bers you have on your pay­roll and leave the courts to do it’s job. You are not a King.…

By the way there are a lot more of these offi­cial abuse by your Thugs. Do your job and leave oth­ers to do theirs.

You hyp­ocrite .….

UPDATE :::::

Since we went to pub­li­ca­tion the Minnesota Vikings have bowed to the pres­sure and once again benched Adrian Peterson for a sec­ond straight Game even though , like we said before, he has not had due process. 

The take-away from this, is just how pow­er­ful the Governor’s pres­sure is. Yet these bas­tards nev­er have a kind word for vic­tims of police abuse. Neither do they ever want to stand up and demand that the thugs on the State’s pay­roll respect the rights of every­one young or old , black or white.

I most def­i­nite­ly dis­ci­pline my daugh­ter. I have a 1‑year-old daugh­ter and I dis­ci­pline her,” Bush said on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” show, via CBS New York. “Obviously every per­son is dif­fer­ent. And I def­i­nite­ly will use my best judg­ment to dis­ci­pline her, depend­ing on the sit­u­a­tion on what hap­pens. I def­i­nite­ly will try to … obvi­ous­ly not leave bruis­es or any­thing like that on her. But I def­i­nite­ly will dis­ci­pline her harsh­ly depend­ing on, again what the sit­u­a­tion is.”

I’m from the South. Whipping is … we do that all the time,” the for­mer bas­ket­ball star, who was born and raised in Leeds, Alabama, said. “Every black par­ent in the South is gonna be in jail under those cir­cum­stances. I think we have to be care­ful let­ting peo­ple dic­tate how they treat their chil­dren.” When Rome con­tend­ed that it does­n’t mat­ter where some­one is from because “right is right and wrong is wrong,” Barkley dis­agreed. “I don’t believe that because, lis­ten, we spank kids in the South,” he said. “I think the ques­tion about did Adrian Peterson go over­board. … But, lis­ten, Jim, we all grow up in dif­fer­ent envi­ron­ments. Every black par­ent in my neigh­bor­hood in the South would be in trou­ble or in jail under those cir­cum­stances. … As far as being from the South, we all spanked our kids. I got spanked, me and my two brothers.”

This goes across all racial lines, eth­nic­i­ties, reli­gious back­grounds. People in dis­ci­plin­ing their chil­dren. People with any sort of Christian back­ground, they real­ly believe in dis­ci­plin­ing their chil­dren,” Carter began. “My mom did the best job she could do rais­ing sev­en kids by her­self. But there are thou­sands of things that I have learned since then that my mom was wrong. This is the 21st cen­tu­ry. My mom was wrong. She did the best she could, but she was wrong about some of that stuff she taught me. And I promised my kids that I won’t teach that mess to them. You can’t beat a kid to make him do what you want to do.”

Hmmmm. Eagles coach Buddy Ryan in 1989 cut Cris Carter fol­low­ing the pre-sea­son. Carter lat­er admit­ted that Ryan released him because of alco­hol and drug abuse, includ­ing large amounts of ecsta­sy, cocaine and mar­i­jua­na, and cred­its his for­mer coach with help­ing him turn his life around as a result. 

This Pharisee was allowed back into the NFL to play and is now in the Hall of Fame now here he is stand­ing in Judgement of oth­ers. Let those with­out sin cast the first stone.

Obama’s Presidency

Obama and Bush
Obama and Bush

Barack Obama will be crit­i­cized and dis­re­spect­ed by prob­a­bly half of America irre­spec­tive of how well he does on any giv­en sub­ject. On September 11th 2001 planes crashed into the twin tow­ers in low­er Manhattan killing over 3,000 peo­ple. George Bush who was President at the time was alert­ed by his chief of staff Andy Card as he sat in a Florida class-room. Bush sat trans­fixed for a good five min­utes as if unsure how to react.

Bush waged America’s longest war in Afghanistan. Not sat­is­fied he waged an ille­gal war in Iraq killing that Country’s leader and splin­ter­ing Iraq’s eth­nic tribes the Sunnis, Shiite and oth­er eth­nic minori­ties leav­ing them to wage war against each oth­er. Unable to cap­ture or kill Osama Bin Laden whom they blamed for the attacks on the twin Towers Towers and the Pentagon , Bush shift­ed his rea­son for being in Iraq to Nation-building.

There was no talk of Nation Building when he ille­gal­ly invad­ed a Sovereign Iraq. The lie then was that Saddam Hussein had what was coined as weapons of mass destruc­tion. Never mind that America, it’s European Allies and Israel pos­sess enough weapons of mass destruc­tion to destroy the Earth sev­er­al times over. Bush’s Cowboy atti­tude with America’s mil­i­tary pow­er, the Neocons world view and Donald Rumsfeld’s incom­pe­tence in han­dling the Iraq war cre­at­ed a smol­der­ing caul­dron of Militancy in the Middle East. At the cen­ter of Middle East ani­mos­i­ty toward the west is the Palestinian peo­ple’s con­tin­ued oppres­sion at the hands of Israel , aid­ed and abet­ted by America and some west­ern nations.

Bound at the hip in Military mus­cle-flex­ing with America was Britain, which was still act­ing like a world pow­er. Recent events includ­ing the newest Militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS emerged from the hor­nets nest Bush and his Neocon friends stirred up. Between the wars and incom­pe­tence Bush wrecked the Economy caus­ing mil­lions their jobs and homes. The crash of the American Economy in 2008 was rivaled only by the great depression.

THE ECONOMY

Under Obama, the econ­o­my has added 9.425 mil­lion jobs and lost 4.887, for a net gain of 4.538 mil­lion jobs. That’s a 3 mil­lion advan­tage over Bush. accord­ing to the Daily beast Michael Tomasky. 

WARS

Obama has wound down the Iraq war which he opposed from the start. In fact some argue he was elect­ed President pri­mar­i­ly because of his oppo­si­tion to that ille­gal, illog­i­cal war. The Afghan war is in it’s final throes. Obama did as he promised he would.

IMMIGRATION

Many Liberals are miffed at Obama for the num­ber of peo­ple deport­ed on his watch. Every week thou­sands of peo­ple are deport­ed from the United States for the flim­si­est of rea­sons. This process rips fam­i­lies apart, usu­al­ly it’s the par­ents who have breached US laws. Notwithstanding the chil­dren are made to suf­fer. The entire notion sur­round­ing the stat­ue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your hud­dled mass­es yearn­ing to breathe free”,now a colos­sal lie. Republicans have stead­fast­ly blocked Immigration reform claim­ing that Immigrants are Democratic vot­ers. Every attempt at reform is labeled an Amnesty. Of course their Conservative Hero Ronald Reagan grant­ed amnesty to peo­ple in the shad­ows dur­ing his presidency.

OSAMA BIN-LADEN

This speaks for itself, Bush could­n’t get him, Obama did.

Affordable Care Act the law of the land

Obama has out per­formed George Bush by every met­ric in less than 6 years , com­pared to Bush’s two terms. So there is no log­i­cal claim to be made against Obama as it relates to com­pe­tence, as it has been dur­ing Bush’s tenure. I won’t both­er to talk about the fact that despite Government lock-downs and across the board dis­rup­tion of the econ­o­my, Republicans, are slat­ed to retake the sen­ate and make fur­ther gains in the House. You decide on what that says about the voters.

Recently President Obama was exco­ri­at­ed for going back to play Golf after address­ing the Nation on the exe­cu­tion of an American Journalist by ISIS. The ver­bal assault is noth­ing new from those on the right. Their hatred for this President because of his

race is pal­pa­ble . It also makes them irrel­e­vant as seri­ous objec­tors. In response the pres­i­dent said he should have been more aware of the optics! You think?

Which leads me ask this of the President. Why would you want to play Golf at a Country Club owned by the Racist smut Donald Trump? Mister President there is an old Jamaican proverb which says “you lie with dogs you rise with fleas“No dis­re­spect to my Lab “Bud”. President Obama did not catch fleas from this Mutt. He end­ed up hav­ing to con­tend with the snide remark attrib­uted to him below.

Mister President you are a smart man but I believe the fact that you were raised on the Hawaiian Islands have total­ly cre­at­ed a false sense of America in you. On learn­ing that major Clubs in Westchester New York have rebuffed the President’s attempt to play Golf on their cours­es, I was embar­rassed for him, but most­ly I was embar­rassed for America, just not sth (20)urprised

This is the kind of thing one would expect from states such as Mississippi Alabama Texas and oth­ers where intel­li­gence is a rar­i­ty, and where igno­rance flour­ish­es. Obviously the back­lash against Barack Obama is far deep­er than just the KKK mem­bers who now don Police Uniforms under the guise of law enforce­ment offi­cers. The chick­ens are indeed com­ing home to roost.
