(hat tip to Thomas at Yes Means Yes)
An ex – NFL star is being accused of raping women after he drugged their drinks. It allegedly happened on several occasions in several different cities, but the m.o. was the same–drug their drinks and rape them.
What is outrageous about Darren Sharper is that he presented himself as a supporter of women and women’s rights….while he allegedly abused them. Good God.
(A side note~ Hello! to my Russian reader. Glad you’re back and apparently able to access the ‘net again.)
…well, here we go again with the “plan” that won’t die. Pun intended.
You might recall this is an old scenario bordering on ridiculous. I can’t believe the money spent.
The report is short on details–who were the sponsors that paid for this? If the attendees only paid $1,000 to go, who paid for their hotel rooms? Meals? Flight tickets? Rental cars? Lots of questions here, not a lot of answers.
Nor can I believe the concept that one can kill the undead…how does one do that, anyway?
What they really need are un – brain -dead Dept. of Defense employees who quit looking at life as one big disaster waiting to happen. And that the American public is the enemy–guilty until proven innocent.
I found a student compiled video on the Kent State killings–they did a pretty good job:
We had a fatal accident here this past week–head-on collision killed a 45 year old woman. Witnesses reported that she was texting while driving. A tragedy that could have been avoided.
Not only a tragedy for her, but for the young man who hit and killed her. He will have to live with that memory for the rest of his life.
While I was in Fort Wayne the other day, I saw driver after driver talking on the damn phone and they were not paying attention to their driving. Some were going too slow, too fast, or veering off the straight line. And if you’ve ever driven in Fort Wayne, you will know that stop signs and speed limits are suggestions….so yeah, not the place to be inattentive.
THERE IS NO PHONE CALL SO IMPORTANT THAT YOUR LIFE OR THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND YOU IS WORTH DYING FOR!
I hate to “yell” but if it will get the message through…
I mean, really, the phone call can wait until you’re at a safe place to talk with someone.
I’ve always told my kids that I don’t want them on the phone when driving. I don’t want to hear “screeeeeech” and “boom” when talking to them. They still do it, however, and after this, I may have to get more drastic and hang up on them if they do call me when driving. Maybe if we parents gave a little tough love, we could stop a tragedy in the making…
…of the 15 year old boy stowaway who traveled to Hawaii in the wheel well of a plane. His story is yet another tragedy in angry divorced fathers who take children away from their mother, who is living in poverty. He was told his mother was dead–how horribly selfish and psychologically traumatizing to a child.
I hope that Hawaiian authorities will not release the boy to his father, who obviously cares more about revenge than his child’s emotional health. Rather, it would be refreshing to see someone stand up for the mother, and help her reunite with her child.
Fred Klonsky posted his viewpoint on Barack Obama College Preparatory School and Obama’s silence on a Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action.
President Obama, however much I disagree with his education policies, is entitled to his opinion…whether it be for or against Affirmative Action. I presume he is for it, but chose not to speak out at this particular decision. I really don’t recall him speaking out on much regarding Supreme Court decisions— so because he’s black, he should speak out on this particular decision?
Perhaps I’m misinterpreting things…but this piece just struck me wrong.
As a side note~ Cabrini Green? Really? That was the housing project that was famously featured when former Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne *cough* moved in….the press was all over it…but what they forgot to tell people was that she wasn’t moving in as in moving all her household…but rather, she kinda sorta stayed there one night a week./snark
Or perhaps it was a few hours in the daytime./snarkier
Or perhaps she just drove past the place…on her way to her real home…./snarkiest
We need jobs, not eggs. Funny how it’s been thirty years and not much has changed, eh?
Oh, wait…
Rahm builds an elite high school on this historical spot….not only do you not get jobs, but you get thrown out.
In news that you won’t read about in the mainstream media–Warrior Publications has a post up of the indigenous folks protesting the Royals.
…or if you do hear about it, it will be in a negative light….as in they have no right to their land or to protest.
The father of rape victim, Rehtaeh Parsons, has become the target of cyber bullying. He took the online threats seriously after the bully posted that he knew Glen Canning’s face, where he lived, etc.
It’s just mindboggling–this culture that encourages sexual assault and violence against women…
DN! had a piece up yesterday on environmentalists being killed for trying to protect the land, air, and water…for all of us.
147 killed in 2012, compared with 51 in 2002…nearly three times as many.
Jose DeSilva (sp?) says what Joe Kane said in Savages— that some poor person will accept the dinero of the corporations and aid in the destruction of the forest. This is how they divided tribe members in Savages–they picked a few vulnerable ones and split the loyalties. Divide and Conquer in action….
As you listen to the video, it is really shocking how this is going on and not being reported. I mean, how obvious is it that these are deliberate acts…an axe in the head of an environmentalist…Penetra being murdered right after speaking out for the environment…and we never hear of this in the lame media? Yet…they are right there to label environmentalists as nuts and whackos who should be condemned.
In what seems like a positive–having wifi in public spaces–perhaps is not so great…?
What if you’re going to the beach to get the hell away from “civilization” and find yet another intrusion of technology in a natural space…??
What if, like me, you’re heavy metal poisoned and react negatively to Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) to the point of zapping your strength (think kryptonite), zapping the adrenals, and making you nauseous to the point of wanting to throw up? What if you’re prone to seizures?
I’m sitting here typing this, and the radio keeps giving me feedback….and I’m wondering why the hell is it doing that? Is there a surge of EMF? If so, where is it coming from??
If you’re concerned about this, there are measures you can take to protect yourself from EMF’s.
