I 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…Presenting 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?The 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. The difference between infants and adults is that the former will […]
Read More IMMIGRATION GAME GOES ‘ROUND & ‘ROUND…My problem with America fracking its way to energy independence—aside from research indicating that fracking is relatively expensive, and the productive lives of fracked wells drop precipitously after two years (See this and this; both are pdfs), thus forcing America to constantly find new territories within its finite borders—is the environmental risk presented to humans, […]
Read More LEAVES ARE BROWN, SKY IS GREY – CALIFORNIA FRACKIN’I want to post some thoughts about the latest APEC summit since most news agencies either ignored key events in the months prior to this meeting, or their approach to distribute “news bits” in the namesake’s most literal way possible prevents the grasp of an emerging new world: America’s status as the all-powerful world leader is being challenged, […]
Read More APEC NOTES: WHAT’S LEFT FOR OBAMA, PUTIN OR JINGPING TO SAY?I know that some of you are screaming “Game changer” in response to this new carbon emissions deal between the US and China, but I’m not nearly as hopeful for a number of reasons. One of my reasons pertains to the terms of the deal, as explained by CNN: Under the agreement, the United States […]
