Nixak77's Words
Nixak*77* 6 days ago
Here's what Dennis Kucinich has to say about Obama's request for a new AUMF: Ten Reasons to Vote Against the Use of Military Force [@ www.informationclearinghouse.i... ]:
1} ISIS is NO real threat to the U.S. homeland.
2} The AUMF disingenuously calls for a “limited” war, while it is written to guarantee a permanent war, thus nullifying the power of the people’s representatives in Congress.
3} The AUMF is a blank check & a fiscal black hole.
4} Regional armies appear to be rising to their own defense; U.S. presence will escalate war.
5} The U.S. could get drawn into a worldwide religious war.
6} ISIS & Al Qaeda are now divided. US re-entry into war could [would likely] unite them.
7} A Solution: Follow ISIS’ money, & shut it down: Where is ISIS getting its money? Up to 100,000 ISIS fighters are funded by Gulf State [GCC] donors, identified as being from Saudi Arabia, Qatar & Kuwait [FYI: all 3 are among the US' closest Arab allies in the Mid-East- & also include US close NATO ally Turkey - Humm].
8} Solution: Cyber response.
9} Endless wars enable Washington to ignore a domestic agenda.
10} It's way past time for the U.S. to own up to the disastrous effects of its military interventionism: ISIS grew out of U.S. military interventions in Iraq, Libya & Syria- which have all, along w Afghanistan, totally disintegrated into chaos & violence [FYI: Iraq, Libya & Syria were ALL on the NeoCON's {s}Hit-List in the immediate wake of the 9-11 'New Pearl Harbor' Event- along w Iran, Somalia & Sudan].

Chiho Kaneko:} 'There's definitely pressure from the world nuclear industry to control the data & information coming out of this disaster. So they're funding a lot of seminars & public events, to try to frame the situation in their favor- basically to paint a picture that this wasn't such a big & serious disaster... There are seminars w some international experts trying to tell people, based on the Chernobyl experience, they're going to be okay... - It's been discovered that a staggering number of children--118 children among 385,000 population--confirmed w thyroid cancer. Statistically that's staggering, because prior to the disaster, thyroid cancer for children in the area was 1 to 2 per million [not more than 7 per million]...' [FYI: 118 per 385,000 = 307 child cancers per million post-Fukushima- up from 1 - 2 child cancers per million pre-Fukushima = a jump of over +150Xs - 300Xs of pre-disaster levels {7 per million = a jump of 44Xs], {
So are some of those industry backed international 'experts' trying to [falsely] reassure folks at Fukushima, so-called 'green-nukers' ala Dr Jim Hansen [NASA retired]? Here's what Dr Hansen had to say about Fukushima: } 'Deaths caused by Fukushima radiation will be few [& just how can he know that], but the radiation release was a catastrophe for 300,000 people forced to leave their homes -[because]- Unfortunately the Japanese government forced many more people to evacuate than necessary...' {
So by Hansen's {mis}Logic re Fukushima, Japan's Gov't, after letting TEPCO to screw up Fukushima in the first place, should have gambled even more w the lives of up to 385,000 people rather than use the age old wisdom 'Better Safe than Sorry' [plus Dr Hansen- that area had just been devastated by a 9.1 quake & tsunami & still suffering major after-shocks - DUHH!!!].
} 'I [Dr James Hansen] also recommend that the public STOP Providing FUNDS to Anti-Nuke Environmental Groups. They are not likely to listen to anything other than financial pressure. If they are allowed to continue to spread 'misinformation' about nuclear power, it is unlikely that we can stop expanded hydro-fracking, continued destructive coal mining, and irreversible climate change...' { Dr James Hansen
WOW!!! IMO That's effectively a 'Declaration of War' on the True Green Anti-Nuke Environmental Movement! Seems Dr Hansen's sort-a blaming anti-nuke greens for fracking, coal mining & CAGW / 'climate-change', even more so than globalized corporate disaster capitalists- IE: TEPCO!!!

Spoken like a true red, 'WHITE' & blue American{'Sniper'}!
www.globalresearch.ca/millions... -} LAPD cops shot & killed an UNARMED man on the sidewalk outside the Union Rescue Mission on Skid Row, where many of LA's homeless live in makeshift tents on the street.
The LA County Coroner’s office reports that he's Black & in his mid-30s...
According to Bales, the victim stayed nearby & helped Mission workers keep the area clean...
- At the 20-second point in the video, the clicking sound of a Taser during its discharge of electricity can be heard, & one of the cops appears to be jamming the Taser’s electrodes into the victim. A voice is heard yelling, “Drop the gun!” 3Xs, & then 5 shots rang out in the space of 3 seconds.
The Cops continued to point their weapons at the victim’s lifeless body for almost a minute & a half before one of them finally checked for a pulse, as stunned onlookers became increasingly angry, yelling denunciations of the cops.
NO Gun was recovered, & there is nothing in the video suggesting that the victim ever had his hand on a cop’s weapon. - The LAPD later confirmed that 2 officers & 1 sergeant fired bullets....
LAPD Chief Charles Beck called his cops’ sickening one-sided Beating & EXECUTION of a mentally ill, homeless man “a very intense situation & a brutal, brutal fight.”
- Cops have extensive training on weapons retention, & use special holsters that make taking weapons away from them very difficult. No cop in a situation like this one is going to allow a vastly outnumbered, unarmed transient access to a firearm unless he is looking for a Pretext to Use DEADLY Force.
Cops have been known to shout lines such as “Stop Resisting” to cover up for their own brutality. Yelling “Drop the Gun” signals other Cops to Use LETHAL Force!
According to killedbypolice.net, law enforcement agencies in the US have killed over 175 people already this year, a rate of about 3 per day. Yet NO cops in the US have been killed by criminal suspects so far in 2015. {

Gangsta Rap- perpetuated by stupi-tainment corps IE: Sony, Clear-Channel, etc [run by a bunch of rich white-guys]- who make sure that more positive rap was/is suppressed as they produce, distribute & Hype 'Gansta Rap'.
Tattoos- Have you seen how may white folks [men, women & youth] have em? I'm trying figure if more young bloods get tats while graduating from the university of hard-knock [aka prison], or as athletes &/or 'frat-boys' graduating from mainly white universities???
Black accent? What kind of accent are Black people supposed to speak w except a Black-accent, DUHH! Do you expect them to speak w a Russian or Italian accent? Or maybe a Chinese or Mexican accent?
Race-specific names: What kind of names are folks of African ancestry supposed to have except Africanized names??? So you think all Blacks should be named James, Joe{Blow}, {uncle}'Tom', 'BOY' & Suzy-Q! - Hey, Just admit that you don't like having to try to say names you find too hard to pronounce [correctly]!
___________
The Primary reason why ISIL / ISIS - IS raising Hell in Syria & Iraq & now Libya, IS because of the US-NATO-GCC Nexus of evil machinations in those places! Iraq & Libya were out-right attacked & their head of govts over-thrown & LYNCHED! But Assad in Syria has to-date been much more tenacious, yet the cost to the Syrian people has been devastating. Also note Iraq, Libya & Syria [along w Iran & Lebanon] were all on the Neo-CONs' {s}Hit-List in the immediate wake of the 9-11 'New Pearl Harbor' event.
After being ruthlessly attacked & their govts & infrastructure destroyed, it was totally predictable these countries would descend into CHAOS. Thus IMO either the UK-US NATO / GCC cabal did NOT give a DAMN that this would happen as the people of Iraq, Libya & Syria SUFFER- or this was even actually a main part of their intent!!!
VJ Prashad:} 'The man who spoke to the camera in the most recent atrocity video from IS in Libya, he spoke English with maybe an American tinged accent. There were Arabic subtitles beneath...' {
- IMO unless this ISIS guy went on to do a speech in Arabic on this same video, how do we even know if this guy is really even Arabic??? Especially since his face was completely masked. Maybe this guy speaks little if any Arabic! Then his/their Coptic prisoners were dressed in orange jump-suits, a clear reference to Gitmo-tized Muslims held prisoner by the US. Thus IMO this video is really directed at Americans & Europeans, NOT Egyptians- cause he spoke in English & talked about [Euro}Christian Crusaders. Coptic Christians were NEVER foreign Christian Crusader invaders of the ME Region- so why be-head them as a warning to the EU & US- especially when most folks in the US & likely the EU too, don't know JACK about Egypt's Coptics? Obviously if this video was actually directed at the Egyptian Govt, the guy would have pontificated his rhetoric in Arabic- w perhaps English sub-titles- NOT Vice-versa!!!

Conscious Words from Savant
You've shifted from saying that atheism was rooted in the theory of evolution, which I showed to be wrong since we can find it one or two centuries before Darwin. Now, you ask "when" the theory was created, and at least suggest that it was motivated by Protestant desires to justify slavery (or at least that Protestants accepted it because of their desire to defend slavery). First of all, the defense of slavery began at least a century or two before Darwin. There were theological, philosophical and scientific defenses of slavery which were essential forms of theological and scientific racism. In America, the primary RELIGION was used more than science. Also, by the time the theory of evolution was formulated and well known slavery was already over or on its way out. The ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES was published in 1859, just one year before the American Civil War and six years before the abolition of slavery. I doubt if many Americans--pro-sla very or anti-slavery--were even aware of its existence. it didn't enter into the debates over slavery. THE DESCENT OF MAN wasn't published until 1871, six years AFTER slavery had already been abolished. Moreover, once the theory of evolution DID become known in the USA it aroused vehement opposition from most of American Protestant Christianity. It was even banned from being taught in public schools. The challenge to that ban by a dissident teacher led to the famous Scopes Monkey Trial of the 1920s As for 1 billion babies being aborted in the name of atheism, the issue should be questioned as posed. For one thing, I don't know the source of that figure or how reliable that source is. Furthermore, the moral rightness or wrongness of abortion is itself debatable (as is the issue of whether the fetus is already a human baby when it has gills and a reptilian tail). My own moral sentiments regarding its rightness or wrongness is ambivalent for reasons too complex to elaborate here, and probably too complex for you to comprehend. But let's put my ethical ambivalences aside and assume for the sake of argument that abortion is morally wrong unqualifiedly, or at least under all but the most extreme circumstances. So, what has abortion to do with atheism? (And I know atheists who are opposed to abortion!) In America, only 5% of the people are atheists. In Black America, about 1% are atheist. And this is a relatively recent development while abortion has been around for decades, if not centuries. Do you REALLY expect me to believe that ONLY 5% of Americans in general, and only 1% of Black Americans have had abortions? Most people having abortions are religious BELIEVERS. Atheism is hardly the basis or the inspiration for abortions. Also, I've no evidence that the roots of atheism are in Russia or China, as these tendencies appeared first in France and England. I don't know whether most people in Russia or China are atheists, but I tend to doubt it. We do have evidence that most people in Sweden and Denmark are atheists, and from certain studies they are (as national collectivities) healthier, happier, better educated and economically well of than are average Americans despite the fact that USA is richer by far. Religion has not made us any better off.

Another thing freddy the fool seems not to realize is that Blacks were moving to the suburbs as early as the 1970s when I was in high school. Almost EVERYBODY knows this, and the simpleton announces this bit of old news as if it was hot off the press. Tell me something I DON'T KNOW, fool. One other thing that he seems little aware of: While in the beginning the movement to the suburbs among Blacks was a voluntary migration on the part of the middle classes, now it is increasingly happening with the Black poor, the black proletariat. But not always voluntarily. The wave of gentrification that has hit the cities in the past 20 years or more have had the consequence of FORCING many poor and working class blacks out of the cities as whites (i.e. affluent whites) return. They aren't so much moving as being PUSHED out. Freddy should shut up on these, be humble, and maybe I can instruct his ignorant ass. Apparently, when he migrated from England he left brain behind. Maybe just as well. It probably wasn't functioning even over there

More whites are being killed by whites, but less so by the police. Police often try to reason with armed whites who pull guns on them, while shooting unarmed Blacks--even Black children. Also, your comment was not relevant in terms of the debate you intruded into. Maybe you should learn the context of a discussion before jumping in at the tail end. Freddy's claim (to which I responded) was that only inner city Blacks have problems with the police. I know too many fellow Black professionals and intellectuals living in the suburbs who have problems with the police, including a teacher and writer who was choked like Eric Garner, but fortunately survived to tell about it.
