This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning.
With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it.
This site is for Americans in general and African Americans in particular. Video: Politics to Physical Health
10 Billion a month and Bush sneaks into Iraq and they throw shoes at him. Just goes to show you money can't buy love. Bush remains Culturally Illiterate to the end. He should sneak into Texas and stay there until January 20th.
What is the penalty for hollering fire in a crowded cultural theater? What should the Nation do about Palin mob type Cultural Terrorism?
At the Dawn of America, cultural humanist and anti-humanist were present. The Humanist won the war of words - The Constitution - and the anti-humanist won the war on the ground, laws enslaving other human beings to make money.
The American challenge has been to overcome its birth defect and move toward that more perfect union, despite the fact that anti-humanists live among us. This election has moved us in that direction however, to say that we have gone Post "Racial" would be over statement at best, foolhardy to the overly optimistic and downright dangerous to the President Elect and African Americans in general at worst.
I wrote about Sarah Palin's Cultural Terrorism as she committed the crimes. Click Here The good news is that it is no longer just me noting that Palin is a Cultural Terrorist, the Secret Service blames Sarah Palin for the rise in death threats against Obama Click Here. Now to be accurate it is not just Palin, McCain and Republican extreme anti-humanists are accomplices
In case you thought that Cultural Terrorism is theoretical or simply part of America's past, now even the late culturally irresponsible mainstream media is reporting that "race" crimes are spreading around the county.
This reality raises important social contract questions.
As we Americans settle into fixing the economy, ending the war in Iraq and providing Universal Sick Care for all citizens, what is to be done about the anti-humanists among us that would attempt to Culturally Terrorize TeamAmerica ?
Remember when John McCain could not tell who was in Iraq? Is this professional looking incompetence endemic to the Republican Party? Remember FEMA? Remember Bush? Maybe not, remember Hillary being shot at and bombs exploding
Whenever you hear an Anti-humanists Republican mention their Bush/McCain 100 year war, recommend that they watch Body of War the documentary. The story of what the Bush/McCain war means to one American soldier and his family. In seeing him you will see us.
I fist heard about this story on Democracy Now, WBAi Radio in New York. There were those who voted for the war, than there were those who said stop!, we did not listen and look at what it cost us.
US veterans gathered in Maryland this past weekend to testify at Winter Soldier, an eyewitness indictment of atrocities committed by US troops during the ongoing occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Soldiers spoke of free-fire zones, the shootings and beatings of innocent civilians, racism at the highest levels of the military, sexual harassment and assault within the military, and the torturing of prisoners. While the corporate media ignored the story, we broadcast their voices. Democracy Now was one of the few American media to cover this story.
The term Winter Solder comes from the following quote:
Winter 1776 - These are the times that try mans souls, the Summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crises shrink from the service of his country, but he who stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
In November your country needs you to make an informed vote. Bush told us he listened to the Generals. Even if he did, that was at best poor judgment. The person to listen to is G.I. Joe. I hope you will take a minute to listen to your neighbor Joe in these clips and act accordingly.
Below are three clips. Talk with a Vietnam vet to 50 years after the war. The second clip is Winter Soldier I in 1971 the third is a brave soldier from Iraq testifying now in Winter Soldier II (2008) and giving his recommendations for the war.
This Clip is of a Vet from the Vietnam era when I was in the service (Pic. on the right-Aunk bottom left). A soldier who still suffers from PTSD all these years later. Testimony and pictures of what was done in country. Iraq has produced problems we did not have during Nam, woman soldiers and big VA Hospital problems.
How is our Vietnam Vet today?
It is important to note that Bush/McCain knows this happened in Vietnam and is happening in Iraq and he is in favor of continuing it.
Winter Soldier 1971 Clip Vietnam then
John as late as 2002 has used the Asian "N" word, gook and said he would never stop using it.
Now hear from the soldiers of the Bush/McCain Iraq War
Camilo Mejia, former staff sergeant who served six months in
Iraq in 2003 with the Florida National Guard. After a brief leave, he
refused to return. He was court-martialed and served nearly a year in
prison. He is now the chair of the board of Iraq Veterans Against the
War.
WINTER SOLDIER: CAMILO MEJIA In Iraq We add Bush Torture
Did you hear this soldier's recommendation for the war at the end of the clip? If not, go back an play the end. His recommendation hits the bottom line for this whole article.
The Bush/McCain War is 2nd on my list of top three issues. 1. is Health Care 2. is the Economy
Hillary Clinton: I would not vote for her. I believe anyone who
voted for the war should be removed from office, or otherwise made an
example of, so that their disgraceful judgment can never misrepresent
the American people again. This included democrats and should start
with Hillary.
This leaves Bush/McCain and Obama's Change this is how I see the choices.
Bush/McCain: Stay the course - up to 100 years.
Obama: End the war on day one - Troops out in 16 months.
If I were President I would do what was done in the criminal Vietnam war.
End occupation immediately, bring Americans out in 30 days flat. Any
thing we can not carry leave. Pay Iraq reparations for The American
Government's illegal acts against its people.
Before you saw these video clips you may not have really known about the war. God knows Bush/McCain and the forty thieves have controlled What you see, from making it illegal to photograph the coffins of our fallen soldiers, to Blacking out their voices in Winter Soldier. Your fellow Americans and the world forgives you if you voted for the Bush/McCain criminals in the past. The question is how will you vote now and why?
Little Asian Girl Napalmed By Americans in Vietnam.
Look at who is in this room with McCain. Which America does he stand for?
Grand Pa McCain does not belong in the White House, He belongs in the Mad House.
This is the person who called Asians "gooks" and was part of American anti-humanists who napalmed Asian children in Vietnam, and still proud of it. He takes credit for helping to lead the government that murdered and maimed 3 million plus Arabs in Iraq. Now he wants to bomb human beings in Iran.
McCains statement is made for the same reason we got dragged into the Bush/McCain immoral/illegal war, Cultural Illiteracy.
If Westerners were still in Vietnam the Vietnamese people would stillbe killing the Western occupiers and the Vietnamese are not religiousfanatics. Do you remember the Western Israel/Palestine war? is it over?were we just attacked on 911. Only a Culturally Illiterate mad man would plan on occupying Arab land for 100 years and not know that they would be killing the occupiers everyday of the 100 years.
Bush says 50, McCain ups him 50, do I hear 150 absolute madness.
With friends like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the forty thieves who needs enemy's. Donald Rumsfeld shakes hand of Saddam Hussein of Iraq before the hanging. (Video)
There are certain pictures that you never see. There are certain dots that you are not allowed to connect. Remember the American saying "he is a son of a "B" but he is our son of a "B". Until he pisses us off that is.
I went to reference my story in a comment to a reader on Newsvine and it was gone, so I found this video. Truth Crushed to earth.
Donald Rumsfield and Saddam Hussain handshake
I did a story on this in the Bush era of fear and secrecy on Newsvine (now owned by MSNBC) and here on Google's blogger and it disappeared. Try and find it in a Google or Newsvine search. Now lets see how long it lasts in the new Obama era of responsibility.
There are some things we should never forget less we repeat them. National Cultural Literacy, the good,bad and ugly, is a requirement for Cultural Health.
