      Dead Black Man Was Tasered Nine Times by White Cop

      Posted by theangryindian from Alternet

      A 21 year old black man in Winnfield, Louisiana, named Baron "Scooter" Pikes, was tasered 9 times in 14 minutes by a white police officer in January after he was arrested and handcuffed. He died. Seems a tad excessive to me. However, here's the story of his arrest and subsequent death according to the police report by the arresting officers:

    • It was oil all along

      Posted by Damianmann from Consortiumnews

      Oh, no, they told us, Iraq isn't a war about oil. That's cynical and simplistic, they said. It's about terror and al Qaeda and toppling a dictator and spreading democracy and protecting ourselves from weapons of mass destruction.

    Mercenary Outfit Send Mass Email Offering Positions in the Wake of Gustav

    One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: http://www.gustav-insurance-claim-denials.com/ that would be a site you should visit.

    It seems like US is trying to find a new way supporting imperfect men.

    Black Accountability Project: DNC Color Divide

    Yeah, especially if you are meaning still working within your political system although we don’t want to.  I can think of several.

    You could start with the U.S. must offically apologising for American Aboriginal genocide and than make the necessary changes to the educational system to wash out the colonial propaganda clotting American hearts and minds.  Second, ALL of First Nations-U.S. are to be honoured and without undue delay.  Next, the United States is to offically apologise for chattle slavery, genocide and systematic institutional racial bias.  The U.S. must then return full sovereignty to Puerto Rico, Guam, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines and promise to not try and re-take the island of Cuba.

    Following all that there would need to be a restructuring of the entire political system and the acceptance of multiple parties including revamping the voting system without the Electoral College.

    Without the former list of suggestions, the latter half is only cosmetic.  Just my opinion.

    If my vote counted, Florida 2000 would have been addressed.  It still hasn’t.  I’m still not convinced.  Sorry.

    It’s a strange thing because aboriginals DESERVE to be involved and respected.

     

    I know the real history and it makes me sick. I’ve read Zinn. I’ve been on "Indian" reservations and seen the sqaulor. It’s shameful. This land is THEIR land…we ( not me literally…as I’m Irish American and my relatives served as indentured servants ) are robbers. The real criminals are long dead. The modern white is ignorant to the facts…But, they DO benefit from these crimes.

    But, again, NOT voting gives them more power …and they thank you for not voting…as they thank the millions of others… who…if they voted, could remove them from power…

    It’s that or violent revolution…which is fine with me. Apathy gets people nowhere…

    except in the case of the government. It gets them everywhere ….and everything.
