On January 15, the world approaches what could be a decisive round of negotiations in Geneva regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Since Iran is willing to talk with the P5+1 in order to free itself from the US-imposed economic sanctions, Iran President Hassan Rouhani obviously needs to return home after the talks with fewer sanctions against its oil and […]
Read More THE ROUHANI NO ONE TALKS ABOUTI had the good fortune of participating in Tanya Free & Friends’ recent year-end broadcast, where I offered a thought which may unsettle some of you self-labeled Black Progressives: Rev. Al Sharpton would be dead by now if he were Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Looking back, I should have covered that concept with greater […]
Read More IF AL SHARPTON WERE MLKIt happened again. NYPD officers—during the funeral of slain cop Rafael Ramos turned their backs on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio when he addressed parishioners. The same cops who want anti-police protesters to mute the demonstrations out of respect and mourning for Officer Ramos and his partner Wenjian Liu, decided cops should always have a free pass […]
Read More DISRESPECTING THEIR OWN TO SHOW DISRESPECT IS HATREDThe Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 is another piece of legislation the US Congress managed to push through before year’s end—in addition to that banking oligarchy-scented spending bill. “Freedom?” This should be Ukraine’s signal to run away… Who—other than Congress—believes a bill authorizing President Obama to enact additional economic sanctions against Russia and provide […]
Read More FREEDOM – DEADLY WHEN EXPORTEDSenator Elizabeth Warren demonstrated the courage to not only call out Wall Street’s takeover of the US Government, but to also cite Citigroup-inserted language in the recent Senate spending omnibus bill which paves the way for the bankstas to put their hands in our pockets again by way of a future bailout. Senator Warren gave examples of the […]
Read More RAP ON, SENATOR WARREN. RAP ON…“Every time you see me you want to mess with me! I’m tired of it; it stops today.” That was one of the last sentences spoken by Eric Garner before New York City police officer Daniel Pantaleo choked the life out of him. Pantaleo has walked away without being indicted for Garner’s death. But Garner was right. […]
Read More WE ALL HAVE AN ARM AROUND OUR NECKS LIKE ERIC GARNERPresenting additional proof last night that the removal of your genitals will force you to at least say something, members of the Congressional Black Caucus shared their opinions about Ferguson, Missouri and Michael Brown’s death on the House floor—after the House completed its votes for the day, of course. The question I asked myself is […]
Read More BLACK CAUCUS’ FERGUSON THOUGHTS – MORE EMASCULATED VERTICAL MIC PREACHINGFirst, let’s say you don’t work in the auto industry (ha), and you’re sitting on a large inventory of goods you want to sell. Common sense would tell you to stop adding to your inventory pile, right? Saudi Arabia has a good grasp of economics, but they have supported a cut in oil prices—currently by more […]
Read More WHAT’S BEHIND THE SAUDIS’ OIL PRICE BEEF?On the Ferguson Grand Jury decision to not indict Michael Brown’s killer, Officer Darren Wilson… My pen has been silent up to now. I’ve been sharing my thoughts online since Brown’s death, so I’m not sure what’s new to add here. I’m hurt by the lack of an indictment, but I’m not surprised. Not one bit. While […]
Read More AFTER FERGUSON: WHY THERE WILL BE MORE BLOODThe current immigration fight brewing between the Party of No Brains and the Party of No Guts-in-Chief is another example of why I think partisan politics is a weapon of mass distraction from bigger issues like income inequality, oversized bankers and geopolitical risks overseas.
