Libyan Rebels do what all Western Nations do with (African) Blacks: Throw them in Prisons

Editors note: How can you tell the Libyan Rebels are backed by Western powers?  By how they treat the Black population.  Under Gaddafi immigrant Blacks found work in Libya.  Now under Rebel control many Africans are facing what Blacks in Western countries face everyday; prison, discrimination, false accusations, and murder. NO DOUBT, if the rebels defeat Gaddafi. Black Africans will face the same racist conditions Black face in Europe, America and Australia.
________________________________________

Tens of thousands of foreign workers have fled Libya since the armed revolt against Gaddafi's 42-year-rule began in February, with Africans afraid they have become targets for fighters who accuse them of being mercenaries for Gaddafi.
People suspected of having fought for Colonel Mu'ammar al-Gaddafi, in particular black Libyans and sub-Saharan Africans, are at high risk of abuse by anti-Gaddafi forces, Amnesty International said today after witnessing black Libyans being targeted in Tripoli on Monday.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has issued a strong call for sub-Saharan Africans to be protected in Libya as reports emerge from Tripoli of people being targeted because of their colour as the city fell to rebel forces.
Libyan rebels may be indiscriminately killing black people because they have confused innocent migrant workers with mercenaries, the chairman of the African Union said, citing the fears as one reason the continental body has not recognized opposition forces as Libya's interim government.


America's Moral Decay: Parents support 10yr old son living a Transgender life ie dressing up like a Girl

Editors note: Just when you think you have heard it all and that America could not slide any further into moral decay, here is yet another reason why Allah (God) is destroying this country.
Sexual depression was one of the main reasons that God destroyed nations of the pass.  This was done so those nations could not spread their deviated 'life' styles to other areas of the world.  America is a cesspool and the American people are taking a deep in the pool.  Even Christian preachers take part in the debauchery, marrying same-sex couples in the houses of God.
What make this story truly sad is the decision of the 'parents' to allow their 10yr old son to live as a girl and to broadcast their "liberal" decision to the world. 
Has America gone down the road of NO return?  It would appear so.

Ralph Nader: 10 painful lessons of 9/11

Americans might also want to pause to recognize — or unlearn — those reactions and overreactions to 9/11 that have harmed our country. How, in this forward-looking manner, can we respect the day of 9/11?

1. Do not exaggerate our adversaries' strength

5. Do not have Congress write a blank check

10 States That Are Losing Business

To determine which states seem to be losing businesses, I used data provided by economic consulting firm EMSI of Moscow, Idaho, showing business establishments per capita. Since the data control for population, they allow for comparisons between populous states like California and Texas and less populated ones like Rhode Island and Nevada. I was interested in each state's performance over the last few years, to account for the recent recession, so I measured the change in business establishments per capita from the beginning of 2008 through the end of 2010.

I also excluded states with an unemployment rate below the national average of 9.1 percent, because those states tend to be gaining population and businesses both, and outperforming the national economy. They may be gaining population faster than new businesses right now, but that could change as business creation improves. That took eight states off the list: Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Vermont, Maine, Alaska, New Hampshire, and Maryland.  - Yahoo! Finance

American Muslims Most Tolerant in the US, Least Tolerant, White Fundamentalist Evangelical Christians

Editors note: Add Conservative to White Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian and you have the root of America's race, religion and ethnic divisions. White America will never acknowledge that they are the major obstacle to America becoming a United country.  Whites suffer from an inferiority  complex, that plays out in their supremest attitude and behavior.  Unless they get help for their sick mental state, the whole world will continue to be jeopardy.

Sorry buddy, Jesus is Black

A US Department of Justice study about Muslim American radicalization conducted in 2010 by researchers from two North Carolina universities argued that terrorism actually committed by American Muslims was surprisingly low. They attributed this low number to the anti-radicalization efforts of various Muslim communities and mosques in the United States. This in-depth study not only reassures law enforcement agencies that the fear of Muslim radicalism in America is overblown, but it also underscores the reality that US mosques are allies in the struggle against extremism - not a source of extremism as some right-wing pundits and politicians insist.  iViews.com

Steve Jobs, one of the most influential and powerful people in the world, is a biological Arab-American with roots in Syria

Editors note: What made America great was the various ethnic groups and races adding their cultural expression and technologies to a United State.  What ruined American and never allowed the contributions of "minority" groups to be acknowledged in the media and educational institutions was/is white supremacy.  Truth is, the only reason the country has some semblance of morality, creativity, and productivity is do to the various "minority" groups, but white supremacy will never acknowledge that, not even to save its life.  And that is why the country is doomed and why there will be a Great Separation.

Zimbabwe does not recognize Libya's Transitional National Council and Expeled the Libyan Ambassador after he declared allegiance to it.

Zimbabwe has given Libya's ambassador to Harare 72 hours to leave the country.

Zimbabwe's Foreign Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi said Tuesday the decision was made after the Libyan embassy declared its allegiance to Libya's Transitional National Council.

Last week during a protest, Ambassador Taher Elmagrahi and embassy staff members burned the flag used by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. They then raised the flag being used by the anti-Gadhafi TNC.

Mumbengegwi told reporters Zimbabwe does not recognize the TNC as Libya's legitimate government.

African countries have split on whether to recognize the Libyan rebels. Some, like Nigeria, have explicitly endorsed the TNC, while many others have either been silent or stopped short of recognition.  Read more...




Costs Of Irene Add Up As FEMA Runs Out Of Cash

FEMA's role in a disaster is multilayered. It provides immediate assistance, helping victims pay for shelter and food and medical needs. Later on, it pays to rebuild schools, bridges and water treatment plants.
http://socialtimes.com/files/2011/01/fema.jpg
For instance, FEMA is still paying for rebuilding related to Hurricane Katrina, which struck six years ago this week.

FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, shown at a press briefing last week in Washington, says his agency will postpone some repair work on earlier disasters in order to pay for the immediate needs of Irene.

Dan Kaniewski, who worked at FEMA during the George W. Bush administration and now teaches at George Washington University, says Fugate is making the right decision.

"He's got to deal with the cards he's been dealt," says Kaniewski. "He has a limited amount of money, and he realizes, rightly so, that money has to be allocated for the most pressing needs. And right now, it's those individuals who have been impacted by Hurricane Irene — they need to be provided the assistance to make sure they have a roof over their heads."  : NPR

Leaks: UN to deploy forces in Libya & US in secret talks with Taliban

Afghans leak secret US-Taliban talks
The talks had mostly revolved around the whereabouts and release of US Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was seized by Taliban forces in eastern Afghanistan over two years ago, AP reported Monday, citing statements by Afghan and American officials.

According to reports leaked by officials of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's government, the Taliban negotiator, Tayyab Aga, had in return demanded the release of their comrades incarcerated at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba and the Bagram Air Field prison, north of Kabul, where an estimated 600 Afghans are being held by US military forces.

How Israel Takes Its Revenge on Children Suspected of Throwing Stones

The boy, small and frail, is struggling to stay awake. His head lolls to the side, at one point slumping on to his chest. "Lift up your head! Lift it up!" shouts one of his interrogators, slapping him. But the boy by now is past caring, for he has been awake for at least 12 hours since he was separated at gunpoint from his parents at two that morning. "I wish you'd let me go," the boy whimpers, "just so I can get some sleep."

During the nearly six-hour video, 14-year-old Palestinian Islam Tamimi, exhausted and scared, is steadily broken to the point where he starts to incriminate men from his village and weave fantastic tales that he believes his tormentors want to hear.

This rarely seen footage seen by The Independent offers a glimpse into an Israeli interrogation, almost a rite of passage that hundreds of Palestinian children accused of throwing stones undergo every year.   | AlterNet

How Corporate and Political Forces Have Almost Neutralized All Avenues of Resistance in US Culture

http://nocureforthat.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/corporate_flag1.jpgThe only commodity the troll state offers is fear. The corporate trolls, such as the Koch brothers, terrify the birthers, creationists, militia lovers, tea party militants, right-to-life advocates, Christian fascists and God-fearing red-white-and-blue patriots by proclaiming that, unless they vote for Perry or Mitt Romney or Michele Bachmann or some other product of the lunatic fringe of our political establishment, the American family will be destroyed, our children will be corrupted and the country will turn socialist. Barack Obama, who they whisper is a closet Muslim, will take away their guns, raise their taxes and bring homosexual couples into kindergartens.

For those, usually liberals, still rooted in a reality-based world, one that believes in evolutionary science, the corporate trolls offer a more refined, fear-based message of impending doom. If you abandon the Democrats we will be governed by Bible-thumping idiots who will make us chant the Pledge of Allegiance in mass rallies and teach the account of Genesis as historical and biological fact in our nation’s schools.

And underneath it all runs the mantra chanted in unison by all the trolls—terror, terror, terror. The troll establishment spins us like windup dolls and laughs all the way to the bank. What idiots, they think. And every election cycle we prove them right.   | AlterNet

Ultimate Betrayal: Puppet Leaders stir hatred & fear to justify costly wars & troop deaths for Western Hegemony

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oCLaVs3JFnI/TaI7kMbcHtI/AAAAAAAADjg/VuPMceUT-Og/s1600/puppetmaster.gifFirst – let’s not labor under any delusions. Obama, Cameron, and Sarkozy are heads of state in name only. It is the depravity and megalomania amongst the banks, corporations, and the institutions they have contrived, that are responsible for the most egregious betrayal in Western history. For 10 years the West’s leadership have stirred up hatred and fear amongst their populations to justify a lengthy and very costly global war that has sent US, British, Canadian, German, French, and many other troops, around the world, into dangerous adversity, and ultimately to their graves to fight “the forces of terror.”

Now, almost as if savoring the irony, the New York Times, on behalf of the corporate-financier oligarchs that presume dominion over the Western world, fully admit that Al Qaeda terrorists,men who literally killed US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan are now in Libya and are the benefactors of billions of dollars in Western aid, diplomatic recognition, training, weapons, the lending of intelligence assets, the full unwavering support of the West’s “media,” NATO-member air support, and even graced with Western special forces fighting side-by-side with them on the ground. This timely confession is also in response in part to revelations that the Libyan rebel commander now filling the streets of Tripoli with indescribable horror is a hardcore Al Qaeda leader, reported first in the Telegraph months ago, and again this week on RT and covered in depth by respected geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley- Land Destroyer via BlackListedNews.com

Using his deep understanding of the civil rights movement, Reverend Wiley makes the case that gay rights are not a white issue and that, in fact, the LGBT movement is inextricably linked to the Black community's struggle for civil rights. In fact Wiley asserts that, were Martin Luther King Jr. alive today, he’d be one of the LGBT movement’s biggest proponents.
