Jacob Blake 8-30-2020

 

30, August 2020                     Jacob Blake

 Several videos showed how Kenosha police approach black and white People. The first cellphone images showed officers shooting a black man, Jacob Blake, beside his car while his 3 young children watched in horror, screaming uncontrollably. The second video clip captures a 17 year old gunman identified as Kyle Rittenhouse, interacting with police officers, getting a high five  and accepting water from them after killing two protestors, - brandishing a semiautomatic rifle, illegal at his age in the state.

Another video showed Kenosha police offering militia members’ water earlier in the night and expressing their support for them.

A distraught Blake Sr. choking with rage said his son was shackled to his hospital bed despite being partially paralyzed after the shooting. Many of his organs suffered severe damage.

“The videos capture and illustrate the existence of two justice systems in the United States, divided along racial lines”, sa.id Benjamin Crump, lawyer for the Blake family.

Two situations, one followed de-escalation guidelines, the other rapid escalation resulting in an appalling tragedy.

Rittenhouse was not apprehended but allowed to return home. He was granted a delay on his extradition to Wisconsin until next month.

In an effort to reform the Kenosha police, the ACLU has demanded the resignation of top cops for racism and a brutal response to Jacob Blake protests. This latest shooting has stained the reputation of America as a law abiding country.

A damning video of Kenosha County Sheriff has surfaced from a 2018 news conference, when he described black people accused of shoplifting and crashing a stolen car as “garbage people that fill our communities that are a cancer to our society”.

It is not surprising that a police chief with such visceral hatred of black people would infect the police force under his watch.

It is time this sheriff who does not possess a modicum of decency and his racist underlings be fired and charged with gross misconduct.

Unless the Department of Justice and FBI investigate the Blake shooting and the long history of systemic racism the shooting of Blake will go unpunished. The local DA has been accused of decades of prosecutorial misconduct allowing guilty cops a free pass which has been described a “precinct shuffle”.

Please send donations to the ACLU requesting the money be used in their lawsuit against the Kenosha police, department.

 

Trump tweets, market falls 8-27-2021

 27, August 2019                     Trump tweets, market falls

It is becoming increasingly apparent to many Americans that Donald Trump is becoming more and more delusional. His bizarre tweets have little to do with market stability and everything to do with trying to project a “tough guy” persona. The wild gyrations of the market are a direct reflection of his trade wars with China which show no signs of abating. President Xi Jinping is unlikely to back down and appear weak to his domestic audience especially given the increasing turmoil in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Trump has flip/flopped repeatedly unable to cobble together a coherent policy. In a rare of truth he admitted having second thoughts about his trade policy but then abruptly changed his mind promising more punishing tariffs.

Meanwhile Democrats have seized the opportunity and hammered his trade policy which is rooted in pure vindictiveness and anger.

At the G7 meeting world leaders, with the exception of Prime Minister of Britain, Boris Johnson, shunned Trump uncomfortable with his unpredictable behavior.

His relationship to world leaders follows a familiar pattern. Great admiration (Kim Jon Un of North Korea, President Macron of France, Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada, Teresa May of Britain, . .)   quickly followed by harsh criticism.

Apocalyptic with China’s response to his tariff wars, he ordered all U.S. companies to leave China citing an obscure law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977.

The law’s original intent was to isolate companies engaged in criminal activities not break economic ties with a major trading partner over a tariff dispute.  Recently, the thin skinned Trump has ordered his staff to “dig dirt” and shame reporters critical of his policies, hallmark of an autocratic ruler.

Medical professionals are expressing major concerns over Trump’s declining mental state summarized in the New York Times best seller, by Dr. Brady Lee “The dangerous case of Donald Trump.”

Hiroshima 8-11-2020

 11, August 2020                          Hiroshima

 Seventy-five years ago, the U.S. dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima causing shock waves, radiation and heat rays resulting in the agonizing death of some 140,000 people, Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, killing another 74,000 people. Multiple generation birth defects followed. Secret records have shown how the U.S. gov’t and Hollywood secretly colluded to produce a sanitized version to justify the atomic bombings.

Chief scientist, of the bomb Robert Oppenheimer, describes his dark role - “Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” quoting the Bhagavad Gita. Authors and journalists Greg Mitchell and Robert Lifton (’Atomic Cover-up and Hiroshima in America’), challenge the official narrative and argue the atomic bombing was totally unnecessary. What is conveniently omitted from the official American justification is Russia’s declaration of war on Japan on August 9^th leaving no option but Japan’s imminent unconditional surrender. Following the bombings, the Truman government aided by a compliant media, went into feverish damage control to mitigate the aftermath of the bombings. All film footage and other evidence was immediately confiscated.

 Hollywood eagerly jumped into the act releasing a propaganda movie to allay public misgivings about the enormous civilian population that died.

Reports have since emerged that the  U.S. government secretly filmed the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, not just from the sky, but the devastation on the ground, brought the film back to the bomb making scientists at Los Alamos,  who were unable to comprehend their science would be used to commit such appalling atrocities on a civilian population. The films would be highly classified for decades. Appalled on what they had seen, several scientists produced a counter narrative documentary in the MGM movie,” The Beginning of the End”. Leading scientists who turned against the bomb were surveilled, followed, and their phones tapped, by the FBI.

The film ‘Atomic Cover-up’, explores how both the Japanese footage and the American footage was suppressed for decades, because it just showed the catastrophic impact on the civilian population. Have we learned anything from our past mistakes? Sadly, no!

YouGov and The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists found that more than a third of Americans would support a nuclear strike on North Korea, if North Korea tested a long-range missile capable of reaching the U.S. We still maintain a ‘first strike policy’ and given the temper tantrums of the stable genius President this could mean the death of millions of civilians. 

If Trump took a truth serum, 7-29-2020

 

29, July 2020                    If Trump took a truth serum,   .  .

This could happen if President Trump accidently took a truth serum with his morning anti-Covid bleach solution. Read on.  .  .

 “The time has come to level with the American people. My life has  been  filled spouting “REMENDOUS LIES”, I lied about my inheritance from my dad who also lied and cheated his way to build a large financial empire. As my niece, Mary stated so well in her memoir, I understated my assets to minimize my tax liability and successfully locked her out of her inheritance. She did  not receive a penny. What a TREMENDOUS scam. She was livid.

Moving on. I employed a lot of foreign undocumented construction workers for my buildings and scammed from paying them by tipping ICE. I saved a TREMONDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY and decided to use this success formula over and over again.

I did not like blacks and Jews in my rental properties and launched a “TREMEDOUS” smear campaign to force them out. I couldn’t find Norwegians so I replaced them with American whites. That was the “ORANGE” of my success as a slum landlord.

I borrowed a TREMENSOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY using my fame as a reality TV star to finance my casinos but I didn’t manage them well and they all fell into bankruptcy and I lost a “TRMENDOUS” AMOUNT OF MONEY.

I received a rescue package from Deutsche Bank and my lawyers  used TREMENDOUS clever legal loopholes to avoid paying them. I then turned to Russia to seek financial help from my good friend “Vlad”.

My previous infatuation with Kim of North Korea evaporated but I continue to have a TREMENDOUS” friendship with Vlad. “Don Jnr” nearly blew my cover when he told the US media “we are receiving a TRMENDOUS amount of money from Russia”.

I received TREMENDOUS  help from Russia in the 2016 election.

Vlad didn’t like Clinton’s Russian hostility and released her private emails. Former FBI director, Comey released a letter casting doubt on Clinton just before the election. That was a big help and clinched the election in my favor.

Clinton who was a shoo-n for President never recovered. My legal team was TREMENDOULSLY successful in intimidating Mueller and ensured the Russia collusion charge was tossed out. I terrified “Moscow Mitch” and the Republican Party who never challenged me frightened I might launch a blizzard of tweets. I love how Vlad, and Xi Jinping of China and other autocrats have extended their rule. If I get reelected I may do the same.    Vlad  told me media reports accusing Russia of making payments to Taliban fighters  to kill American soldiers was fake news. I believed him.  The Coronavirus has put a dent into my reelection prospects. Based on my TREMEDOUS success in Portland I plan to present myself as the “Law and Order” president. I will make it TREMEDOUSLY difficult for people to vote and have a detailed plan to contest the results of the election if I lose claiming the results were “rigged”.  I will trash Joe Biden as “lazy Joe.”

Perhaps I am  genius, after all I aced the cognitive  test, “Person, woman, man, camera, TV”.

I bet Joe couldn’t get pass Person!

I few other issues that I wanted to get off my chest before the truth serum wears off.

The  crowd size at my inauguration  was a REMENDOUS WHOPPER!

Lying is an art. I have lied all my life with TREMENDOUS success. I repeat the small lies over and over again and I start to believe them. That’s why I love rallies and FOX news because they amplify my  lies with gusto. One of biggest successes was to  challenge Obama’s citizenship with a bogus “birther” campaign. Michelle hated my guts and has never forgiven me! I repeated Obama’s middle name HUSSEIN to cheering applause from my adoring fans. They are great Americans. General Flynn launched the “LOCK HER (CLINTON) UP” with great success. The least I could do was to pardon hum. Roger Stone was my right hand campaign manager. I was afraid he might write a book and I was forced to pardon him.

I don’t know what to do about my fixit lawyer, Michael Cohen. I may have to pardon him before he reveals all my dark secretes in his “tell-all” book.

There is only one person who upended me, Melania, who forced me to sign a TREMENDOUS PRE-NUP and forced me into bringing over many of her relatives. 

God bless the United Staaates of America.

Whoops the truth serum is wearing off. TV, Camera, man, . .

PERSON . IAM A GENIUS!

BLM offers lessons to Indian Police 7-26-2020

 

26, July 2020             BLM offers lessons to Indian Police

The Black Live Matter movement is gaining resonance in many of the minority communities around the world. In Israel BLM has reenergized Palestinians, “Palestinian Lives Matter” are ubiquitous banners seen in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The horrific murder of George Floyd has renewed demands for ISRAEL GET YOUR LEG OFF PALESTINIANNECKS!

In India police violence against Muslim minorities following the highly unpopular “Citenship Law” created deep hostiles and mistrust. Disturbing accounts had emerged of gross mistreatment by police, and state officials in the town of Nagina. Police chased   young teenagers ranging in age from 13 to 17 and brutally tortured them. According to two of the boys, the officers laughed during beatings, saying, “You will die in this prison.” Witnesses said that police officers opened fire on demonstrators with live ammunition, broke into houses, stole money, and threatened to rape women. The BBC aired footage showing police officers knocking down security cameras in a Muslim neighborhood and shattering the windows of parked cars. Although these incidents occurred a year ago the situation has become worse with the pandemic as hundreds of poor low caste Hindus and Muslims flee to their villages often beaten mercilessly by police.

Harsh Mander, a human rights activist visited homes resembling “wastelands,” where the police have become a lunch mob.

Much like the US, none of the police officers were charged and continue to act with complete immunity buffeted by the right wing Modi government which seems to be in lockstep with President Trump. The overt discrimination towards Muslims threatens the very foundation of India as a secular and tolerant nation.  This is extremely distressing for a nation which often boasts of its spiritual heritage.  Donning religious garbs and chanting from scriptures is a waste of time if we do not imbibe the spiritual jewels into our everyday behavior to make as us kinder, gentler, honest and more compassionate people. Sadly, I have never come across an Indian family which has been not been fractured by financial entanglements rooted in dishonesty.

Lashing out against minorities and committing egregious acts of violence only demeans us.

The Odd Couple 7-23-2020

 

23, July 2020                      The Odd Couple

A fascinating battle is ensuing between the diminutive lightweight intellectual giant Dr. Fauci, and the heavyweight “genius” challenger, Donald Trump, who outsourced much of his academic work earning a MD (master of deceit) degree.

The good doctor follows the Hippocratic Oath (HO), “first do no harm,” and has an approval rating over 65% in spite of a chronic shortage of sleep because of demands on his time by round-the clock media interviews. His opinions are dictated by a close adherence to clinical data. On the hand the President flaunts the HO and continues to burden the American people with incoherent nixed messages which require an army of “cut and paste” specialists to interpret “Trump-Speak”. His most ardent admirer is the ultra-Christian VP Pence who regurgitates Trump’s words with dogged loyalty. Jesus would be so proud!

Trump follows the dictates of his reelection strategy and has shown his willingness to run roughshod over medical science. According to the NYT and other reliable media reports, the President rises at noon exhausted from late night tweets and haunted by FOX news reports and bizarre conspiracy theories.After a fractious week, the former reality-show star gleefully retweeted “we shouldn’t trust doctors about Covid-19”.  

In a further effort to blunt and undermine Fauci’s authority, Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade adviser, assailed Fauci as being Dr. Wrong, It is amazing that Fauci unlike other WH officials seems to have an impregnable integrity shield deflecting hurtful verbal jabs always staying on message. Bravo Dr. Fauci!
