There is significant racism that still exists in the USA, Ferguson is a prime example of that inequity of minorities.

That is the dichotomy of the lives of our minorities. And kindly get this right, they are OUR minorities. In Australia the people recognize there are minorities that live in tribes in the outback, but, also live with other citizens in the cities and towns. These people are OUR minorities.

Minority - the smaller number or part, especially a number that is less than half the whole number.

Minorities will only have representation in our government and will never achieve a majority, ever. They should have at least a strong representative number in our government. They have issues no one else in the country have.

Politics should never simply seek to destroy their voices by assigning them status of complainers or those able to leverage an election for Democrats. The USA's minorities are to be listened to when they speak because they bring concerns and problems from their communities.

One UN committee member (click here) is shocked that “in spite of several decades of affirmative action in the United States to improve the mixing up of colors and races in schools … segregation [is] nowadays much worse than it was in the 1970s.”




...“While we have made visible progress that is reflected in the leadership of our society, we recognize that we have much left to do,” Keith Harper, the U.S. representative to the U.N. Human Rights Council and the delegation’s leader, stated on Aug. 13. “Issues covered by this Convention are of such fundamental and deep importance that we must continue to make progress.”...

Racism and segregation are still a problem for the USA. What that translate into is a country weak with it's economic advantage for everyone. 

...Another expert noted that “some 39 million African Americans [are] particularly affected by structural racial discrimination in the United States … part of the broader heritage of slavery,” according to the summary.(click here)...

The United Nations cited several problems both historically and modern day:

Worker's Rights
Voting Rights
Environmental Rights 
State Violence 
Children's Rights
Housing Rights
Education Rights
Implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

...A representative of the Los Angeles Human Relations Commission, speaking in a joint statement, said little had been done to publicize international human rights treaties in the United States and most local authority workers had never even heard of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.  The Commission asked for more funding for local projects, and for the Committee to urge the State party to create an institutionalized monitoring mechanism for implementation of the Convention.... 

Immigration
Health care and Reproductive Rights 
Criminal Justice

A representative of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the United States, said the impact of criminal law and policy on racial and ethnic minorities was without question one of the most critical issues faced by the United States today.  The United States’ criminal justice system was in crisis.  Policies had been enacted which had contributed to an incarceration rate on a scale that existed nowhere else in the world; which in turn, had resulted in a system that was racially and ethnically discriminatory – and ultimately unsustainable....

The international community is fully aware of the level of discrimination in the USA. That is not a minor observation. Discrimination causes poverty and poverty impacts the USA economy.

Isn't she pretty? This is Haditha Pendleton.

By Trymaine Lee

Two alleged gang members (click here) have been arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of Hadiyah Pendleton, the 15-year-old Chicago honor student killed little more than a week after marching in Barack Obama’s inaugural parade.
Police say Michael Ward, 18, and Kenneth Williams, 20, opened fire on Pendleton and a group of friends last month in retaliation for a shooting last year in which Williams had been injured.
Ward confessed to police that he and Williams had mistaken the group for the rivals in the earlier shooting, according to police....

How are minorities suppose to wade through the vast dichotomy of violence. The USA government expects them to understand the difference between gang violence and police violence. It isn't that simple to dispel fears when both the police and criminals bring about the same end result. 

Both are authorities.

The police are the authorities, but, the gun toting gang members are their own type of authority and our minorities are exposed to a world without definition.  

Would it matter if the age of majority was 21 again?

The memorials are being posted while the police tape is still there? What the hell is going on?

Oliver Laughland and Zoe Sullivan in Madison, Wisconsin

Tony Terrell Robinson (click here) was born into poverty and spent the last moments of his life bleeding from a gunshot wound, surrounded by no one but local police officers on the porch of his shared apartment....

Do authorities realize the public does not understand police work. Nor are they living in anticipation of a police presence. Most Americans live their lives without the thought they will soon be involved with police officers called with guns drawn. 

Have we become a police state in this country? Should all people simply be mindful of the police all the time to insure their safety? I want an answer, but, so far there aren't any. I sincerely think a prosecution needs to go forward for these killings. It is incomprehensible police are slapped on the wrist when they kill an unarmed individual.

The media can put all kinds of visuals regarding in support of good police work but this is not good police work. To simply apologize to the community once a member is dead is too late.

Young African Americans are confused and scared. They don't understand when a classmate or neighbor dies at the hand of police. They don't know how to stop it from happening or what will come of their own lives. This is not good police work.

Women are beautiful. They love their bodies and fun with fashion.

It's Sunday Night.

This is not porn. Women have breasts. Sometimes they are unruly in bathing suits. It depends on the cup size. It is life. Get over it.

This woman is not inviting rape. Oddly enough that is the truth. When do men learn they can admire from a far, but, not touch? Ever? Do men ever learn that women are not in this world for their sexual needs?

It is long understood American minorities fled to the Democratic Party.

The USA has been under a class struggle since 2000 leading to a plutocracy....

...and it's own theocracy. The global community might examine the financiers to the extremism within the USA. The financiers are primarily international companies.

Today, quite surprisingly, a CNN program called GPS equated the USA entitlements such as Social Security to the reason there was less funding for space exploration. Surprised was not the word I would use to hear that parallel. 

While the US space program has been helpful to the country as a by-product in it's discoveries, it has no program currently to feed and cloth the elderly or provide medical treatment. It would be an interesting outcome if those responsibility should be considered part of that program. I sincerely doubt the space exploration would go forward at all if it had that as part of it's budget. 

This is only one example to the feeding frenzy occurring in the private sector as it foams at the mouth for a greater budget to their priorities. Ever since the US space program has been privatized the companies involved are more and more realizing their budgets are woefully inadequate to their ambitions. It takes more than a village to deliver that budget. 

I admire their ambitions that drive the private sector and it's profits, these huge spending activities should be within the governance of government and not greedy stockholders with CEO's relying on bonuses.

To the relief of the community a gunman has been arrested.

The arrest comes after two police officers were shot last week during a protest in Ferguson, Missouri (click here)

The community were vital to this arrest.

The letter has skuttled the Iranian talks for the USA.

The real question is that have the Republicans become the 'ideological' leader of the USA and to what extent does that dictate the balance of diplomacy that leads to war?

March 12, 2015
Saeed Kamali Dehghan

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (click here) reacts to letter from Republicans, saying he is concerned about fate of nuclear talks because other side is ‘deceitful and back-biting’ 

I have no doubt the New P4+1 will go forward with talks with Iran and the USA will be isolated in it's demands. The US Congress can pass whatever UNILATERAL sanctions it wants, but, that won't necessarily result in anything that matters.  

What the US Republicans have done is take away the USA's voice on behalf of Israel at any talks, except at the UN Security Council. Netanyahu has directly brought about danger to Israel because of his snub of the US President and President Obama's initiative to bring about functional sanctions that would enforce Non-Proliferation. The UN has profound reasons to reassess the role of the extremists in the US Congress in relation to any global peace.

I have absolutely no doubt in examining the Republican dogma this party is extremely dangerous and the latest antics has to be viewed for the result it caused. These Republicans are no longer 'simply politics' in the USA. The very Republican Party, in it's latest bozo letter, has no expertise that develops POLICY over setting the stage for war.

The global community has less than two years to come to conclusions regarding the "Neocon Dogma" wherever it appears and how that leads to war and what the global community's response will be. 

The reaction of governments receiving such threats cannot be dismissed. The letter was a threat and I think anyone knows that. It was obvious to me. I am sure it was obvious to the other partners to the Iranian talks.

...“The letter by American senators indicates the collapse of political ethics in the United States,” Khamenei said on Thursday during a meeting with members of Iran’s top clerical body, which includes President Hassan Rouhani.

“Governments are bound to their commitments by international laws and would not violate their obligations with a change of government,” he said. “They [the Republican senators] said they want to teach us their own laws but we don’t need their lessons, our officials know how to make agreements binding if there’s a deal.”

Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters, made clear that Iran’s nuclear negotiators, led by its foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif , have his full support. His backing will shield Iranian diplomats from attacks by hardliners at home as they approach a deadline for a framework deal in the coming weeks....

...“Each time we approach the deadline for talks, the other side, especially Americans, adopt a harsher and more aggressive tone. This is one of their tricks and a deception.” ...

Wow. I thought Teddy Ruxpin was revolutionary.

I can see this technology as a means any family can protect their children from being robbed out of their own homes. The technology can be a baby sitter to their safety while they find sincerely restful sleep. I sincerely think it is an enhancement to security. The other 'upticks' to quality of life is obvious, but, house security can take on a very important aspect to this technology.

Over time this technology will become affordable to most parents.

Let's take a good look at then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit with President Assad.

The Republicans are portraying this visit to President Assad equals the letter 47 Senators wrote. They don't come close.

April 4, 2007
By AP

DAMASCUS, Syria (click here)  — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday for talks criticized by the White House as undermining American efforts to isolate the hard-line Arab country....

It would appear the efforts of the Bush White House to isolate and victimize Syria has worked. It has not only worked, there is obviously no exit strategy when it did work. Bush was anticipating a greater war when a delegation of the majority Democratic House arrived at his door step.

If the Democrats had not won a majority in 2006 in the US House, the USA might be looking at very different involvement in the Middle East. There is a very good chance the talks with Iran would never have occurred and the war would be raging with a very different dynamic in the Middle East.

...The Californian Democrat spoke to reporters shortly after talks with Assad at the end of a two-day visit to Syria.

She said the delegation gave the Syrian leader a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert whose essence was that Israel was ready to hold peace talks with Syria.

She did not say more about the message, but Israel has previously made such talks conditional on Syria’s cutting off its support for hard-line Palestinian groups and Hezbollah.

Then Speaker Pelosi was delivering a message to President Assad stating Israel's government at the highest levels was looking for a way to begin peace talks. The Democratic delegation was delivering a note from Israel, not a declaration of war.

“We were very pleased with the assurances we received from the president that he was ready to resume the peace process. He’s ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi and accompanying members of Congress began their day by holding separate talks with Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem and Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa and then met Assad, who hosted them for lunch after their talks....

Syria was not mired in dense diplomatic relationships with international partners to avert nuclear weapons governed by the Non-proliferation Treaty as President Obama is today!!

It is obvious the difference.

By the way, seeking to end any Shi'ite Authority is a very interesting focus. Bush was attempting to kill a cleric in Iraq, he was seeking to destroy a Shia Mosque while he was simultaneously attempting "...to isolate the hard-line Arab country..." of Syria.

The United Nations is going to need to better state the rights of the Shia in the world realizing Bush was more than willing to commit genocide.

The Shia have been forced into a peripheral/marginal existence during the oil years of the USA. The Shia being forced into a peripheral/marginal existence took on the characteristic of extremists. They, without a doubt were vicious in their approach to their own survival with some of the worst reality in Lebanon where Beirut became ground zero for violence. President Assad himself can attest to the fears of the Shi'ite people in the region over the decades. He alone did not witness that reality, but, he did as his father before him.

The Iranian Revolution removed them from the margins of survival in the world and gave them a homeland. The Shah played a large part in the suffering of the Shi'ites on the streets of Iran. The Iranian Revolution provided a homeland and it is that which the Shia look at today as their gift from god.

The United Nations knows all to well how revolutionaries hold their position when the lives of a people, ethnicity and/or religion is at stake. There are many Shi'ite organizations in the world today classified as terrorists. That is true. The basis of that reality is sincere. But, that definition has not changed over decades and it does not in any way address the reason of which these populations have achieved their violent culture. 

If the same paradigm is maintained and there is no identity of long standing ethnic groups as aggrieved and Israel does not return a leadership authority seeking peace; the world will be facing a very unstable Middle East going forward. 

President Assad and the Shi'ite homeland of Iran has to be recognized for what they are and brought to the global stage for change in settling wars and being a part of a benevolent peace for the region. The danger to the world is too great to ignore this reality.

McConnell states, "The Human Trafficking Bill" came out of the Senate unanimously.

That doesn't mean the Democrats on the committee weren't hoping for a debate and different outcome once it was moved to the Senate floor. The number of votes in committee is very different than the Senate floor vote. There is also leadership with Democrats that can bring their objection to a focus when it was disregarded in committee.

Majority Leader McConnell knows full well the outcome to the bills are different when they are brought out of committee to the Senate floor for debate. Simply stating, "They voted for the exact same bill three months ago," isn't going to make the objection go away. The lives and well being of children are involved, that is not a minor subject. The US Senate needs to get it right.

There are reports coming out of Vanuatu. It is devastating news.

Marach 15, 2015
By John Bacon and Doug Stanglin

...Pacific Red Cross (click here) chief Aurelia Balpe told The Australian that a pilot flew over the islands, reporting that on the southern island of Tanna many buildings were destroyed and even concrete buildings no longer had roofs. The southern end of the chain appeared to take the most direct hit. 

"What he told me is that he could land — that was the first positive," Balpe told the Australian. "But as they flew in and out they saw lots of trees uprooted and, what was most striking, all corrugated iron structures were destroyed as far as they eye could see.

Cyclone Pam, possibly the worst cyclone in the Pacific's history, slammed into Vanuatu late Friday. Wind speeds of more than 165 mph made Pam a Category 5 storm.

Vanuatu, about a quarter of the way from Australia to Hawaii, has a population of 267,000. About 34,000 living on Tanna and tiny nearby islands at the southern end of the chain.

But the entire nation appeared to be devastated. The New Zealand Herald reported that 90% of homes Port Vila, with a population of almost 50,000, were damaged or destroyed.

"The immediate concern is for a very high death toll but also an enormous amount of destruction and devastation," Sune Gudnitz, regional director for the UN's Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Assistance (UNOCHA), told Reuters....

I hope we have a way to airlift any soldier to Turkey and medical attention.

Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (click here) said on Saturday it has evidence Islamic State used chlorine gas as a chemical weapon against Kurdish peshmerga forces....

Do the Peshmerga have trained medics to rescue those wounded and/or exposed to chlorine? There is a difference between an alliance that goes to every extent to protect and treat soldiers and one that dumps them off to survive on their own. One is moral and one is not.

...Chlorine is a choking agent whose use as a chemical weapon dates back to World War One. It is banned under the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.

It was not possible to independently verify the Kurdish allegation.
The statement said the analysis was carried out in a European Union-certified laboratory after the soil and samples were sent by the Kurdish Regional Government to a "partner nation" in the US-led coalition that is fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. A source in the Kurdish Security Council declined to identify the laboratory.
"The fact ISIS relies on such tactics demonstrates it has lost the initiative and is resorting to desperate measures," the Kurdish government said in the statement, using an alternate acronym for the Sunni militant group....

I agree. I believe while there remains a presence of ISIS in Iraq and Syria they are forces scattered and challenged to survive. If Daesh surrenders does the alliance have POW facilities? It is best for Daesh to surrender and allow the women and children find safe haven.

Not to give over to the idea there is no need for further action, but, this is a sign the conflict is waning. I am sure any soldier on the ground or any jet pilot would state otherwise.

Are the Peshmerga absolutely sure those responsible for the chlorine exposure was Daesh?

Nothing surprises me about the USA's CIA.

Why was there a secret bank account in the first place?

March 14, 2015
...But later Kabul (click here) was forced to pay al-Qaeda $5 million in ransom to secure the release of one of its diplomats abducted by the terrorist group in neighboring Pakistan.

One fifth of the money was the funds given to the Afghan government by the CIA.

The report said Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, had at first been concerned about the cash, fearing that the CIA might have tainted it with poison, radiation or a tracking device.

He reportedly suggested that the money should be converted to another currency.

The newspaper said al-Qaeda used the cash to buy weapons and provide payments to families of al-Qaeda militants held in Afghanistan.

“God blessed us with a good amount of money this month,” Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, the al-Qaeda general manager, wrote to bin Laden in June 2010....

I simply love it. Bin Laden gave the CIA more credit than they deserve. Maybe there was some fairy dust to tell the CIA where bin Laden was living. Please tell me the CIA has special fairy dust. That would be a good thing.

I betcha this wasn't in Panetta's book, huh? 

We still don't know where the cash flown into Iraq went either or why the Bush White House gave Halliburton exclusive non-bid contracts or asked for refunds for work it did that electrocuted our soldiers. I have yet to this day to understand if Halliburton is the enemy or simply a friendly with complete disregard for human life of any kind. 

This news is just more of the same.  

Then the Neocon war mongers in the House and Senate want to know why we aren't back in Iraq and why we are leaving Afghanistan. I would think it should be really, really obvious by now!

Intact glass on high rise hotels.

I am used to seeing Florida hotels with glass damage. It may be there is far less projectile debris that breaks windows in these small islands.

Americans always report losses of trampolines and lawn chairs, etc., after these strong storms have hit. With the minimal consumerism by the island people there is far less debris to picked up and hit those tall buildings.  The glass windows are probably impact safe up to a certain wind speed, but, succumb to breakage when hit by flying debris.

Twenty-six foot storm surge.

I don't know exactly the film I am seeing on media, but, there are high rise hotels standing. I didn't note even window damage.

The United Nations is responding to the people of the South Pacific. Perhaps they might also survey what structures are standing on these islands. If high rise hotels are standing, even with glass damage, they can be built not only for tourism dollars but as shelters during storms as well. 

225,000 people are not going to be well served by one high rise hotel building, so the international community might want to entertain building the more to insure safety from these storms. Such storms will happen again. Whatever works to protect their lives and carry rations for disasters should be regarded as important.

Residents (click here) in cyclone-ravaged Vanuatu hunkered in emergency shelters for a second straight night Saturday after venturing out to find their homes damaged or blown away by the powerful storm, aid workers said.

Packing winds of 270 kilometres per hour, Cyclone Pam tore through the tiny South Pacific archipelago early Saturday, leaving a trail of destruction and unconfirmed reports of dozens of deaths....

In Africa it has been bed nets that were the salvation of the people from a different type of disaster. Along the Indian Ocean it was Tsunami Alarms. In Vanuatu and other Pacific Islands it is buildings that will serve to save them. Should we do less for them than we have for others? 

The residents of these islands can be taught to help in any shelter construction so they have the knowledge to maintain them, too.

I doubt searching through Ferguson will result in an arrest.

March 13, 2015
By Manny Fernandez

....Chief Jon M. Belmar (click here) of the St. Louis County Police Department said Friday that no one was in custody, and that it was unlikely that the tips that had led the police to search a house near the police station on Thursday and question the people inside would “lead us anywhere regarding this investigation.” All of those detained were released....

One would have to assume the 'tree sitter' resides in Ferguson. I don't think that is the case and to continue to insist the gunman was a resident is to continue the tensions that exists today.

My opinion is the gunman was there waiting for gun fire or aggressive moves from police. If one is worried about the safety of citizens in the community it would be a dedication of an individual to carry out death(s) and/or wounds in order to protect the community. That absolutely does not dictate any one of the demonstrators had knowledge of the gunman.

The idea this violence was carried out by someone linked to the demonstration is a racist statement. One is assuming the gunman was Black. 

There were no witnesses, so the best outcome to the search for this lawbreaker is to draw up a composite and distribute it through the region. Be careful now, as the composite has to be constructed as racial neutral. The only witnesses saw explosion of gun powder at the muzzle. That is the only real knowledge to date that is being made public. 

See if a gunman wanted to actually level the playing field to protect the lives of the demonstrators it would be more than easy to mask any involvement with the sounds of tear gas canisters and/or guns going off. The question would then be, "Were these officers killed and/or wounded by their colleagues?" It would take time to study the ballistics and realize there was an outside gunman.

So, I believe the gunman had a degree of an itchy finger and has poor gun skills or the handgun only a limited range to it's ammunition traveling straight and true. It is my recommendation a composite be drawn and make public and distributed to the region. Someone may have intimate knowledge of the gunman's activity and might come forward. But, more than likely this mystery will never be solved.

FOX News is detrimental.

I woke up in the wee hours of the morning and turned the television on and found Fox News. Megan Kelly was hosting her program. She is detrimental to the healing of the USA from the reality of the deaths of unarmed Black men.

There was not one Black American on that program for what was nearly the entire hour it was broadcast. Yet, while the minority population of the USA was completely absent Ms. Kelly did nothing but pass judgement on the populous of Ferguson and the Obama administration.

Within the program there was no clear understanding that African Americans had a difficult time in Ferguson. No one, not even the Caucasian prosecutor who skirted a trial of the officer killing Michael Brown, Jr., stated there was wrongful prosecution and jailing of citizens of the town. 

At no point in time did the program even come close to the understanding of life that exists with the minority population in the USA. What Ms. Kelly did do is mix her prejudice with praise of the programming of Fox News and their 30% in ratings. Somehow the ratings are suppose reflect the truth and honest discussion regarding the problems of minorities in the USA. Never once was recognized the heinous death of Michael Brown, Jr. along side of the stark reality of the findings of the DOJ report of the profound oppression in that community. 

The only reason FOX News receives 30% is because their commentators are milk white and cracker composed. There is no empathy for our minorities and in that compassion is completely absent. FOX News continually prosecutes the USA minorities 24/7 and to that reality is comfort for their biased audience. Do the viewers have any chance to be anything else besides prejudice.

I applaud MSNBC for the organizations development and airing of the real problems within the truth of the USA. MSNBC uplifts the USA minorities and the long aggrieved LGBT population. The organization is unmatched in television. Realizing MSNBC is the topic of frequent jokes at FOX News lies the truth in that the populations the organization seeks to SERVE is doing better with paths this yet recognized as injustice in the USA. When I reflect on the "Cracker Agenda" of FOX News and the continued struggle of our minorities and biased populations, it is completely understandable why it is difficult to move these people past the hate and oppression that still exists.

Oh, by the way, Ms. Kelly's sincere aging process is well hidden with heavy layers of make up and probably an occasional treatment of Botox. It is easy to state Ms. Kelly would benefit from a few 'cornrows.'

Oh, one other thing, just because the Caucasian county prosecutor was spot on in his role in the county doesn't mean he should not be questioned as to his methodology in handling police prosecution and the continued problems in Ferguson. No one is stating "Recognizing the use of the Grand Jury process, isn't there a skirting of direct prosecution that might actually have different outcomes by a jury?"
