Let’s Set the Records Straight Democrats Not
Republicans Championed Civil Rights |
|
For months, the Republican Party has become
known as the Party of "No", a deliberate strategy to block
meaningful legislation in order to bring down the Democratic
Party, especially President Barack Obama. Remember
Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina called to
fellow Republicans: "Kill the Health Care Bill and it will
be Obama's Waterloo." Well, Gerald E. Smith, from all
indications a Republican, has added another strategy to the
Republicans' playbook:

Jim Crow Policing |
|
The New York City Police Department needs to be
restrained. The nonstop humiliation of young black and Hispanic New
Yorkers , including children, by police officers who feel no obligation
to treat them fairly or with any respect at all is an abomination. That
many of the officers engaged in the mistreatment are black or Latino
themselves is shameful. Statistics will be out shortly about the total
number of people who were stopped and frisked by the police in 2009. We
already have the data for the first three quarters of the year, and they
are staggering. During that period, more than 450,000 people were
stopped by the cops, an increase of 13 percent over the same period in
2008 Full Story.......... |

The Destruction of Haiti |
|
First of all, I am happy to report that a forty (40)
member health care team from the Bedford Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance
Corps of New York City (BSVAC) arrived safely in Haiti on Sunday
afternoon, January 17th. This first team is made up of EMT's,
paramedics, nurses and doctors and many of them speak the native
language. I personally know some of the members of BSVAC and I hope to
stay in contact with them as they do their humanitarian work. I have
offered to help them in any way that I can

Are They That Sick? |
|
By Junious Ricardo Stanton
“The
military has had about twenty years to work on
weather warfare methods, which it euphemistically
calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking
technology was taken for a few test rides in
Vietnam. The U.S. Department of Defense sampled
lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in
Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they
looked at some complicated technologies that would
give big effects

NAACPSells Out Civil Rights to Net
Neutrality |
|
By Glen Ford
Without the effective right to
communicate with one's fellow humans, all other
rights disappear. In opposing internet neutrality in
return for corporate telecom money, the NAACP and
other so-called civil rights groups have committed
an unforgivable “theft of the people's trust.” “The
NAACP and the League of United Latin American
Citizens have aligned themselves with the likes of
Verizon, AT&T and Comcast.”
