PLEASE NOTE BEFORE WATCHING. This video is VERY VERY GRAPHIC and shows a child slitting and cutting the head off of a man. I could not watch it past 0.24 seconds (and those of you who really know me, knows this says something about the video).
ADDITIONALLY, by pressing “play” on the video, you are certifying that you are of legal age in the city, county, state, and country to view such videos.
Get ready… it’s pretty.. well… graphic. One of the most graphic I have ever seen. And one of the most shocking, knowing that a young child is killing this man with a knife. This is not fake. This is not Hollywood. This is REAL. This is murder. This is radical Islam. And all in the name of God.
At least 30 people were reportedly killed and 53 wounded in an explosion in a UN-run school in the town of Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinians. Hundreds had sought refuge at the school. However, three officials at Shifa hospita, where some of the wounded were taken, said at least 42 people were killed and that the number of dead would likely rise. Ma’an news was reporting both numbers.
The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement saying that the school grounds were currently being used by terrorists to fire mortar shells at the troops. Two neighborhood residents confirmed that militants were firing mortars near the school, then fled into a crowd of people in the streets. Additionally, an IDF spokesperson reported that a missile launcher and a number of anti-tank missiles were found at a Palestinian school yard along with two dead Hamas soldiers. According to the IDF, among these two dead were members of a Hamas launching cell, including operatives brothers Immad Abu Askar and Hassan Abu Askar. Residents said that the Abu Askar brothers were known low-level Hamas militants.
IDF reported that Hamas was firing mortar bombs at Israeli soldiers from the UN school.
The infantrymen returned mortar fire into the school grounds, the army said. Defense officials told the AP that booby-trapped bombs in the school triggered the secondary explosions which killed the Palestinians on the site. The following video was released via the IDF showing Israel firing upon Hamas targets with secondary explosions. It is unclear whether the school is included in these videos.
“Hamas has in the past fired at Israel and at troops from inside schools, cynically using civilians, as is proven by UAV footage,” the army said.
The UN said hundreds of people from a Gaza City refugee camp had gone to seek shelter in the school…
“I am appealing to political leaders here and in the region and the world to get their act together and stop this,” said John Ging, the top UN official in Gaza. “They are responsible for these deaths.”
RANT ON
Of course Hamas will say that Israel hit the school and that they had nothing to do with it. It’s not like Hamas has used schools before as weapons dumps right? Especially since that exact school had been used before to fire rockets and mortars for Hamas. And there is a 2007 video of Hamas firing mortars into Israel from this same school yard.
Now you may think Israel was wrong for firing on a school however, do you think its right that Hamas is firing mortars from the same location with innocent civilians inside? But the thought to ponder in all of this is WHY WAS THERE A SECONDARY EXPLOSION today? And WHY did the UN allow Hamas to CONTINUE to use this location as a firing point since it was revealed in 2007? Just thoughts to ponder!
And last week a science teacher and headmaster at a UN school was killed. By day he was a teacher, at night, he built rockets for Islamic Jihad. Hamas hailed him as a martyr who led Islamic Jihad’s “engineering unit” – its bomb makers. Although the UN denies any knowledge of this, and his family denies the claim while Islamic Jihad posters filled his home, the man’s body was wrapped in an Islamic Jihad flag at his funeral.
At the UN school, a handwritten notice was posted on the gate at the entrance to the school declaring the man “the chief leader of the engineering unit”, would now find “paradise”.
It is also known that Hamas hides weapons at schools.
Meanwhile, back to today, hundreds of innocent civilians had headed to a UN school for safety. And Hamas decides to use the grounds around the school to fire at Israeli troops, knowing full well that Israel would fire back at them. Then when Israel did fire back, it set the booby-traps off INSIDE the school. Nice guys, them Hamas eh?
So how can you fight a terrorist organization, that uses schools as weapons dumps. That fires weapons from schools and school yards, while innocents are inside? And what kind of government puts its own innocent civilians at risk, while that same government should be protecting its own innocent civilians?
But yet, neither Israel nor Hamas (Palestine) has a monopoly on what is right or what is wrong either.
How would you feel if your child went to summer camp, and from the age of 5 or so, was taught how to kill Jews while at camp, required to wear wearing paramilitary clothing?
Q: What are you holding in your hand?
A: A rifle.
Q: What are you going to do with it?
A: Shoot the Jews.
How would you feel if you had a child that was 5-7 years old and said the following:
Q: Do you want to be a martyr?
A: Yes.
Q: Why do you want to?
A: To kill the Jews.
Q: Why are they shooting at us?
A: Because they’re animals.
And then use said children, as human shields?
Or what about dressing your children up for a stage “show” as a suicide bomber? Or how about bloodying their hands symbolizing the Ramallah Massacre?
Im sure you have heard that Gaza is being called a ghetto, comparing it to the Jews being placed in the Warsaw Ghetto in Germany. I’m sure you have heard they have nothing. No food. No medical supplies. No fresh water. I’m here to say BULL CHIPS!
The video below was taken on December 3, 2008 and uploaded on January 3, 2009. Does this look like a suffering city to you? Does this life look miserable? Does this really look like a third-world country? Do these people look like they are starving from lack of food? Does this really look like a prison? Does it look like they have no shelter? Does this really look like a concentration camp? Does this really look like a city where people make only $2 a day?
This is an award-winning documentary on Radical Islam that has been out for a couple of years however, I think it’s time to bring it back to the surface. My first experience with this movie was back in September when it showed up inside my local Sunday newspaper where some 28 million copies of this DVD have been distributed for free.
Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an “insiders view” of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination.
Obsession examines how seemingly isolated acts of terrorism are seen by radical Islamists as an integral part of a global war or jihad for world domination.
Walid Shoebat is shown in this video. He was born in Bethlehem and became a member of the PLO. He was jailed and after his release came to the US and continued his anti-Israel activities. In 1993, he studied the Jewish Bible in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, Walid realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie.
Nonie Darwish is also in this video. Her father headed the Egyptian military in Gaza and the Sinai when Gaza was under Egyptian control in the fifties. In 1978 she emigrated to America. After 9/11 she realized that her culture of origin is in a head of collision with the rest of the world, and started speaking out about terrorism. She believes that her support to Israel does not take away from her love of her culture of origin.
Mary Matalin, former Assistant to the President, Counselor to Vice President & Political Strategist and Commentator said about the movie:
For those people who don’t understand the threat posed by Radical Islam, and especially for those people who do understand the threat - ‘Obsession’ demonstrates in the clearest possible terms that we must stand up and defend our way of life.
Major General Bentley Rayburn (Ret) of the USAF had to say about ‘Obsession’:
As a retired Air Force Major General who has lived and traveled through the Middle East and has commanded major combat organizations in key Muslim countries, I believe ‘Obsession’ is a movie that every American ought to see. It is the most accurate description I’ve seen of the great struggle that the western world will face for many years to come."
Now the movie does have its share of refuters, calling the movie nothing but a lie filled with propaganda. One such website is “Obsession With Hate” saying that
“there are those who have misused Islam to promote an anti-Western militant ideology” but “Obsession is not an honest critique of violent radicalism. Instead, it is a propaganda piece that seeks to cast a wide net of suspicion of against Muslims by blurring the line between violent radicalism and mainstream Islam.”
“As such, it does not call on credible experts and reputable scholars but resorts to shady characters like “former-terrorist” Walid Shoebat, who has made such outlandish statements as: ‘Islam is no the religion of God Islam is the devil.’”
Those who oppose this movie, mostly Muslims, are quick to note that the movie was produced and made by Jews saying again, it is nothing more than propaganda against Muslims produced by Jews.
Either way, Obsession does show some interesting things. Only you yourself can decide what to get out of this movie, and what the movie is trying to say.
Below is the movie, in it’s entirety. The movie can also be downloaded via Google Video for your iPod.
T his guy, believe it or not, lived in Hilliard Ohio. The video below was recorded yesterday on Egyptian Al-Nas TV preaching Jew hatred along with forthcoming destruction and deaths of Americans.
In the beginning of the video, Sheikh Salah Sultan says that the Payload Specialist of the Space Shuttle Columbia was a murderer who commanded the campaign against Jenin in 2003. The Payload Specialist was Ilan Ramon, a colonel in the Israeli Air Force and the first Israeli astronaut.
Sultan goes on to tell a “story” about the space shuttle being launched and just a few minutes later while the Shuttle was over Texas, exploded, which just happens to be President Bush’s home state, killing all aboard. He claims the Shuttle fell, “of all places” in the city of Palestine, Texas, obviously trying to say it was all Allah’s doing and a sign from Allah. [This theory seems to be a quite a wanna-be conspiracy theory, even with the Jews, that it was a call from God to the leaders of America, Israel and the world to repent for their intention to divide up Israel.]
Video and more about this man’s connections with Hamas!
There’s a few little problems with his story. Columbia did not explode on the way up, as he tells it, it exploded on the re-entry after being in space 16 days. For Ilan to be involved in anything with the Israeli Air Force during 2003 is impossible, as he had been at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX from July 1998 until the Columbia mission on January 13, 2003. I wonder ihow Sultan would feel, if he knew that 37 pages from the diary that Ramon had with him while aboard Columbia survived, with all the paper remaining white and not charred, which included a copy of the Kiddush prayer.
What he has to say about the US is that because America gave Israel everything it needs for battle, we will “suffer economic stagnation, ruin, destruction, and crime, which will surpass what is happening in Gaza. One of these days, the US will suffer more deaths than all those killed in this third Gaza holocaust. This will happen soon.”
SCARY STUFF ABOUT THIS MAN
But what is really scary about this man, is that he lived in the United States, and still comes to the United States! Sultan was brought to the area by the Islamic Society of Greater Columbus and was hired as their fiqh research. He was also the religious director for the Hilliard-based Islamic school, Sunrise Academy, where he also conducted teacher training. And later, Sultan served as the resident scholar at the Noor Islamic Cultural Center in Hilliard, working directly with Hany Saqr, a Muslim Brotherhood member.
He is also a former professor and president of the Islamic American University in Michigan. He previously worked at the Islamic Center of Greater Worcester in Massachusetts and at the Islamic Open University in Washington, D.C.
According to his resume, he also serves on the board of trustees of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, and is a member of the Council of Indian Scholars and of the Association of Scholars in Germany.
What does “the Cause” mean to you? And what does it mean to your children? … How much do they know about these tragedies? Did we mention to them that the Children of Zion over there cut open the wombs of mothers. As Khalid M. Klhalid mentioned in 1992 when he visited Shamir and saw on his desk a strange ashtray. He asked him, “What strange ashtray is this? Shamir told him that this was the skull of an embryo. The skull of an embryo? An Israeli soldier opened the womb of a Palestinian mother, took out the embryo, cut off his head, and gave it to him as a present. He gave it to him as a present! This is the method of the Jews. Killing a Muslim or any other non-Jew does not matter to them. Because their motto is, “If you come across a non-Jew kill him!”
He was also president of the American Institute for Religious and Cultural Studies, and active in the European Council for Fatwa and Research, headed by Yousef Al-Qaradhwai who he calls “our great scholar”. If ya didn’t know, Qaradhawi in listed by the US government since 1999 as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. Just a little thing there, ya know, nothing REALLY important.
I mean, its not like the time in 2006 that Sultan said that 9/11 was the work of Americans based on the movie “The Siege” as a pretext for terrorizing the world. One final quote from that interview, “The U.S. remains the only country to determine who is a terrorist, and what is the definition of terrorism, and it can pin it on anyone. The most recent instance is the case of Dr. Al-Zindani, who has been accused of terrorism, even though he is know worldwide for his refinement, virtue, and broad horizons.” Al-Zindani is Sheikh Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, a Yemeni mentor of Osama bin Laden who preaches jihad at Iman University in Sanna.
Or its not important that according to his profile at Discover the Networks, he is an advocate for suicide bombing:
During the 1999 annual conference of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a group which terrorism expert Steven Emerson has characterized as Hamas’ “primary voice in the United States,” Sultan encouraged young people to strive toward martyrdom. “I want every child,” he said, “to sleep on the wound of Palestine and the actions of martyrdom, just like that mother in the country whose son wrote to her that they are to meet in Paradise.”
On Solomonia, according to Soltan’s own webpage, he is for the violent destruction of Israel and the deportation (or worse) of its Jewish inhabitants. The original link on Soltan’s web site was here, however, it is now a 403 “Forbidden” access page.
… There is no doubt about the fact that the Jews usurped the Holy Lands of Palestine and it is not permitted to bargain with them over anything except the means of their departure from the lands that they usurped by means of violent force and through the killing of hundreds of thousands of people…
Question: My husband does not want me to the store even when I need something emergently (sic). He likes me to be in close doors all the time. Is it permissible for a woman to go tot he market place without informing her husband?
Answer: … The husband and wife should cooperate with one another to fulfill the requirements and basic needs of the house. If the woamn likes to go to the store and does shopping with her husband or alone, when needed, then she should agree with her husband on that. It is not allowed for the woman to go to the store without informing her husband, who might mistrust her if he knows. Therefore, I recommend the woman to discuss this issue with her husband and try to get a general approval of getting her basic needs with or without him going with her. If the husband does not agree, she is supposed to listen to him.
Oh, and if you want to hug, kiss, or hold hands in public with your husband.. forget it.
Question: Some Islamic websites may publish photos of Muslim men kissing their wives on the cheek to demonstrate that Islam orders men to be kind to women. Of course both parties are committed to Islamic dress code in the phtos. Does Islam allow this kind of act in public? Kindly explain this to me in detail.
Answer: Islam stresses privacy of matrimonial life. It is not allowed to show what is supposed to be covered in the first place. Intimacy or even showing love between husband and wife in terms of kissing, hugging, etc. are to be covered and never exposed to any of the children inside the house – what about showing it in public or even over the internet?
I do not think it is a good technique of making Da’wah in this way. In Islam, even if our intention is to show the beautiful teachings of Islam towards women and family, the means used to achieve that must be in accordance with Allah’s laws.
1. It is the right of the Muslim husband to get married to another woman. Seeking the permission of the first wife is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended because of the harmony and unity of the family Islam is keen to preserve. So, if your husband married a second wife without informing you, then he did was was not proper to be done, and not what was forbidden to be done…
…4. If your husband still wishes to keep you, then I advise you to get pregnant as soon as possible as children give a different taste of marriage and strengthen the relationship between spouses…
In March of 2007 he fled to Bahrain when his U.S. citizenship application was denied after he appeared at a Hamas rally in Turkey in 2006 and where a kidnapped Israeli solder was praised. He has also been seen at a conference honoring HAMAS leader Yousef Al-Qaradawi, in Doha, Qatar.
According to his online resume, Sultan’s “vision” is: “To live happy. To die as a martyr.”[The man actually has his own website, which is in Arabic and English.]
WHY IS THIS MAN ALLOWED IN THE UNITED STATES?
What DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE, is that this man was STILL allowed to enter and move around the United States before this video was aired. In fact, in the month of December 2008, he was back in Ohio touring Columbus-area mosques. Umm HELLO, Department of Homeland Security? FBI? State Department? Are you paying attention? Is this guy REALLY going to be allowed back in the United States after these statements, as a known associate of Hamas?
But, this isn’t the first time Sultan spewed his rants. Check out “Central Ohioans Against Terrorism” for more info where you’ll find out this guy has more friends in Hamas and al-Qaida than Time Magazine has issues in circulation.
Can I call him a schmuck and get away with it? [A schmuck is an insult for a stupid person, or an unwanted guest, which he is BOTH. I can’t help it if in Yiddish (Jewish) the definition of a schmuck is a dick.]
In the video, it shows the restaurant continuing to serve customers after the male victim was shot, wounded and left bleeding on the floor. Additionally in the video, two young black girls are shown casually leaning against a wall, laughing as the black customer while he is be robbed at gunpoint by two black males, finally running off when shots are fired. The man is shown slumping in the corner of the building, while bystanders just look on, doing nothing to help the man.
The shooting occurred Aug. 6, 2008 at 12:12am, shortly after a 46-year old man entered the Chinese Cuisine carryout on Harford Road in Northeast Baltimore, according to charging documents.
THE LOCATION
People who live in the neighborhood say this particular location has had it’s share of problems. “Around here people get robbed here in this store all the time and a lot of people are cautious about coming in there because they like I might walk in there I might get robbed because people always hear about people getting robbed in there,” Kolin Cooper who lives in the neighborhood says.
THE PROSECUTION
In a December 1st court hearing, prosecutor Jen Rallo said “[The victim] is left crumpled on the floor of the carryout, bleeding.” “He is left to live or die on his own. … No one helps [him],” Rallo said. “He is in pain. He asks to go behind the counter because he is afraid these individuals will return and shoot him again. And the store actually continues serving customers as [the victim] is bleeding on the floor.”
Two 17-year-old entered the store – first one, then the other – with blue bandannas covering parts of their faces, Rallo said in court, describing the video to the judge. They rummaged through the customer’s pockets, held guns pointed at his head and then both shot at him, striking him in the left knee, Rallo said.
“The victim could have lost his life,” the prosecutor added. “There was no need to shoot this victim. There was no need to attack this man.”
The two 17-year-olds are Darren Brown, of the 3300 block of Ellerslie Avenue, and David Jefferson, of the 2700 block of Tivoly Avenue. After the judge viewed the video, he ordered the two teens to be tried as adults with first-degree murder, a charge in Maryland that carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. They are scheduled to go to trial for the shooting in February.
Rallo said that Brown’s admitted full time job – drug dealing – shows he’s acting as an adult. “He was selling drugs, making $200 a day.”
THE DEFENSE
Lewyn Garrett, Darren Brown’s attorney, said his client should be tried as a juvenile, keeping with a recommendation from court medical services. He said Brown suffers from lead poisoning and has a learning disability. [Yea, as IF those conditions stopped him from robbing a man, and shooting him. If he’s capable of doing said act, then he’s capable of serving time in the big house.”]
Garret has also complained that the prosecution has not turned over the names of their witnesses to him, calling them “phantom” witnesses. [Umm, yea, as IF there are witnesses needed to show an act of crime…]
During Wednesday’s meeting of Baltimore’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, Mayor Shelia Dixon condemned the girls in the video, saying “It’s like business as usual. Clearly … we have some very mentally disturbed individuals in the city.” She has also said the video is quote, “an unfortunate reminder that we must treat some violent juveniles as adults in the criminal justice system.”
THE VICTIM
The 46-year-old man who was shot is undergoing physical therapy. He is also suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, according to prosecutor Rallo.
RANT
Yep, both “boys” should be tried as adults. Drug dealing “boys” who robs and shoots an unarmed man, who is not threatening to them, because “times are hard” deserves time at the Big House.
And I’d also be looking at the two young girls laughing, as I’d be willing to bet, they are in on it. They stood by, giggling and laughing, acting like nothing is wrong. And anyone want to bet these two girls are minors? Why are they out after midnight? Where are all of these kids parents?
And if there was any way to legally shut down the restaurant, I’d do it. I don’t know any restaurant that can’t be shut down if a Health Department actually does their job.
As for the Mayors comment about “we have some very mentally disturbed individuals in the city,” my comment would be YA THINK? And, if that is news to the Mayor, then she really needs to get out more.
The video is NOT complete as the one that seems to be shown in court. And if the below video “disappears”, as it has once already, here is another link. And one more link. And I found one more, just incase.
One of the big “media circus” events is the supposed tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey” is back. The “Fight the Smears” website even addresses this “smear” stating:
“… there is no video. The entire thing was completely fabricated by people like [Rush] Limbaugh and [Roger] Stone who want to take Michelle and Barack down. In fact, neither Michelle nor Barack has ever said anything remotely like the stuff Limbaugh, Stone, and the rest made up for their fantasy tape.
This is the worst, most hateful kind of smear there is.”
Well, there is a group called the “African Press International (API)” who claims to have a copy of this tape. They claim they have been shut down three times, “leaving us with no Internet site to release information in connection with the tape.”
“Those who were against the release went a long way to block us, but now it is our turn to be the masters. We are finalising our release plan of the tape and the delivering of Imam’s documents to the authorities.”
They claim they are planning on releasing the tape before Thanksgiving, and they are “closing all the loopholes so that the tape may come out before or by thanksgiving day if nothing dramatic takes place.”
The plan is to arranging a link to their new website away from their WordPress site, so that all registered readers may link in and listen to the tape a few hours before the public airing by two media broadcasting outlets, one in the US and the other in Canada.
According to the website “Stop the ACLU” the transcript of the speech where Michelle Obama allegedly uses the word “whitey” is:
“Once again, the white man keeps us down. What’s up with Whitey? Why’d he attack Iraq? Why’d he let Katrina happen? Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”
Finding any previous posts on the API site has proven to be a little challenging. Any posts relating to this topic seem to have disappeared, including the cache versions. On a post dated November 22, 2008 API stated they have
“gone through all articles published between the 15th of October and the 18th of November when the Michelle Obama story broke out and realised that there were some inappropriate comments that passed through our moderation system…” “Due to this factor, API has taken a decision to pull out temporarily all the articles with such comments and will deleted all comments before releasing back the articles”
I did however find one cached version regarding API in negotiation with FOX News on the release of the tape, dated October 21, 2008 hoping to release the tape before November 4th, 2008.
“The important thing we want the readers to know is how the tapes will be handled once it finally leaves API’s custody. API has confidence in FOX NEWS and will allow them to decide whether the tapes will be aired in full, edited or unedited. Once the tapes are released to FOX NEWS as per agreement that will be arrived at between the parties, API believes that FOX NEWS is competent enough to decide on how to proceed in handling the tapes because – better than us in API – they know what is best for the American listeners.
“Six hours after the release of information by API on the planned broadcast by Fox News Network of the Michelle Obama tape, in accordance with an agreement that has been reached between API and Fox News Network, API was contacted by Obama’s Campaign Manager.
Those who are close to the democratic presidential candidate must be desperate to win the elections no matter what, otherwise they would not have taken such bold step to contact API with an offer of a bribe in order to stop the airing of the tape.
Obama’s campaign manager contacted API by telephone and email offering 3 million US dollars followed with a request to API to cancel the deal with Fox News Network.
As for the Imam documents, this one I’m not sure of. The title of the post includes “and the Imam’s birth document on Mr. Obama.” I did a quick search for “imam obama birth” on “the Google”, and the first web site that comes up is for API. However, the link goes to a 404 page, and clicking on the cache link shows no results.
What I did find however, was a reference to the API site stating, “A Mombasa Mosque Imam agrees to release Barack Obama’s documents of birth.”
We have stated earlier that Barack Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya.
A confirmation to the effect will now be forthcoming. A Mombasa Mosque Imam has decided to release documents of birth that will indicate Barack Obama was born in Mombasa, given his middle name on the day he was born and blessed by the Imam of the day.
It is also stated that Mombasa Imam arrived in the UK seeking asylum because:
The man will join relatives in the UK because his life will be in danger if he were to return to Kenya after removing the documents from the Mosque’s archives and taking them out of the country.
The Imam is the grandson of the late Imam who blessed Barack Obama when he was born in Mombasa on the 4th of August 1961.
If the API really does have a copy of the whitey video tape, and proof that Obama wasn’t legally born in the United States, things might get ugly for a few days…… but I don’t think they have it, especially since they have been playing this record over and over since early Summer, according to some comments on API’s site.
Let see if they can dish out what they claim, or is this another “Oh no, not again” moments that never pan out with false claims. Because seriously, if you have a tape and documents of such “evidence” you don’t need a news media to release the information. All you need is “the Internezs”. And if you really have an offer of $3 million from the Obama Camp, again via email, you don’t need a media outlet to release the information. You just need “the Internezs”. If you get shut down, you just post it somewhere else again… and again.. and again.
Personally, I think the claim by the API to have this information is bogus. This story as of having this information doesn’t pass the “sniff” test. As I have said many times before about things…. Time will answer the question as to whether API actually has this information. And ultimately, to end all the scuttlebut and rumors, all Obama needs to do is release his vault copy of his birth certificate, which he refuses to do. Makes one wonder exactly why.
As for whether Michelle ever said something to the effect of “whitey”? Yea, I do, simply based upon her Princeton Senior College Thesis, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4[PDF] titled “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community", which was on racial divide, and was unavailable until November 5, 2008 via Princeton however, the Obama campaign did give a copy of the thesis to Politico.
As for Obama not being a legal US natural born citizen…. lets see how Clarence Thomas handles things. Tis not nice to step on toes on the way up regarding a Supreme Court Judge, cause you never know how hard the foot that has those toes might end up kicking your butt. To make a long story short, Obama said he would have never nominated Thomas for Supreme Court Judge. There is a lawsuit in NJ regarding releasing Obama’s birth certificate (not the certificate of live birth). Donofrio, the plaintiff, presented the case has been shot down several times and appealed the case. He took the caset to Thomas who then decided to put it on the court docket for a conference for December 5th. If four of the nine judges decide to hear the case, then full oral arguments will be scheduled.
EDIT: This one single post is getting more hits than any other page on my blog. As a result I will be starting an additional blog. My father was born in 1924 and thus lived through the depression, with many strong memories. He was born in West Virginia and lived the life that many have heard about, especially in the coal mine mountains of West Virginia. He additionally was in World War II drafted as a MP in the Army stationed in Hawaii, although after 1941, from 1943 to 1945. These two items significantly affected the way he lived for the rest of his life. After the war, he went on to college, getting a double major in Chemical Engineering and Psychology, and lived most his life as an Industrial Engineer in Time and Motion Study and eventually a MSIE. (And no, that does not mean a janitor.)
My mother, who was born in 1935 in Tennessee did not live through the depression persay however, she did experience a life somewhat similar during certain times in her early life. This also affected the way she lived.
One thing they did while I was growing up was to teach me the "old" ways, although at the time, I hated it, and wondered why we lived the way we did when we had so much money in the bank. Canning, storing, stockpiling, planning for things that I though was crazy and never came, gardening, lowering the heat to 50F at night in the winters, and never living with AC in the summers....so many things. They never had credit cards yet always paid for new cars every five years in cash, paid for their house in cash, and wrapped the rest of their money up in CDs. Today, those things are unheard of, except for the super rich.
And today, because of the way they lived and raised me, I know many of their ways, which now, is a blessing. I have decided to start an additional blog sharing that information, their stories that I remember, and other information I have found about the great depression, how people lived, and the mentality of survival during depressed times. That blog is located at http://depressioneratimes.blogspot.com/ Additionally, they both are still alive today.
Now on to Clara.
Clara is now a 92-year-old great-grandmother who shares her depression era stories while also cooking simple, inexpensive, and delicious depression era meals that anyone on just about any budget can make in three 2007 videos. What is sad, is that there are only three videos that can be found.
