10 July 2016. Great Minds DO Think Alike… Over the Ages, Over the Cultures

______________________________

Frederick Douglass and John Trudell… two different centuries… two different cultures (American Negro and Indigenous First Nation American)… but one mind, one soul, and one heart. Read n’ heed…

10 July 2016. John Trudell on Revolutionaries

______________________________

If you want to end the dysfunction that’s contemporary America, you won’t do it by hating Chilly Hilly or Trump the Chump… oppose them, yes… work against them, yes… rebut their lies, yes… but hate them?

NO.

If we do we descend to their level and fall down to the level of their mindless followers. Don’t argue with Trump Chumps or Hilly Billys on their walls. That won’t do any good at all. Oppose them. Work against them. Rebut them with the truth. That’s the ticket. You may be “unfriended” and you may be called names. The Hilly Billys will call you a “Republican Troll”… the Trump Chumps will call you a traitor. Regardless of what they do, speak out and act. That’s how we can overturn the present mess that’s led to death, death, death… not only cop killings, not only cops killing poor folks, but also people dying untimely deaths due to poverty, lack of health insurance, or ignorant Evangelical agitation.

Spread the love… don’t vote for the duopoly. That’s a start…

27 June 2015. A Thought from Frederick Douglass… We Need the Thunder!

______________________________

Think on this whenever you hear Chilly Hilly’s supporters trashing everyone who won’t play by their “nice” rules. Douglass also asserted, “Power concedes nothing without a demand”… he was right. Also… NEVER defend evil for expediency’s sake… then, you partake of evil, too. No decent person can associate with the likes of Chilly Hilly, let alone support her. Think on that…

Gay Rights Activists Fuming over IOC Sochi Decision

______________________________

On Thursday, scathing comments from gay and human rights activists began spewing out across the Internet and social media outlets, shortly after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that Russia’s controversial law banning the promotion of “non-traditional relationships” to minors doesn’t violate the anti-discrimination guarantees in the Olympic charter. In a statement Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a civil rights advocacy group focusing on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) issues, said, “If this law doesn’t violate the IOC’s charter, then, the charter’s completely meaningless”. The Kremlin maintains the new law aims at protecting children, it doesn’t prevent adults from making their own choices, but critics claim the legislation is part of a much wider crackdown on homosexuality in Russia.

Many expressed concern about what impact the law might have on LGBT athletes and spectators at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. Griffin said, “The safety of millions of LGBT Russians and international travellers is at risk, and by all accounts the IOC has completely neglected its responsibility to Olympic athletes, sponsors, and fans from around the world. The IOC and its new president, Thomas Bach, are putting the good reputation of the Olympic Games and its corporate sponsors in jeopardy”.

A message posted on Twitter said, “The Olympics has become an agent to oppression”. Another said that the IOC “washed its hands” on Russia. A third posting read, “Meanwhile in Russia… Gay rights activists arrested over Sochi 2014 protest”, with a link to a story about gay protesters being arrested in Sochi this week. Following a tenth and final inspection of Sochi this week, the IOC proclaimed the law in question doesn’t violate the Olympic discrimination clause. at a Thursday press conference in Sochi, where the games will begin on 7 February 2014, Jean-Claude Killy, chairman of the IOC Coordination Commission, said, “The IOC doesn’t have the right to discuss the laws that are in place in the country hosting the games, so unless the charter’s violated, we’re fully satisfied”. Sochi passed the inspection with flying colours, getting a glowing review from Killy. He said, “Our impression is unanimous, everything’s very impressive”.

Editor’s Note:

Mind you, the gay activists and their enablers aren’t going to “go away”. They enjoy the brouhaha too much. Don’t argue with them. It’s “pig ‘rasslin’”… all parties involved get dirty as all hell and the pig enjoys it immensely. Don’t get suckered in…
