The following video was found on TPM (Talking Points Memo). In this clip we see, and hear, Thomas E. Ricks as he expresses his truthful opinion when asked about the controversy surrounding the September 11, 2012, Benghazi, Libya, attack on a United States mission; it is an not embassy or consulate as has often been erroneously reported in US media.

According to Ricks, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, and author of the new book “The Generals”, Fox News is the leader in disinformation about the incident…making a mountain out of a molehill. As you view the video note how the anchorman, Jon Scott, stumbles and gives a very poor delivery of the introduction of the guest and the questions. We believe the Fox News staff suspected Mr. Ricks might be an honest guest;  a guest who would likely  be giving responses during the interview contrary to the Fox News mantra…watch…

The children are this planet’s most precious resource. The statement is often repeated and sounds cliche: the children are our future. The fact is they are.

Over the past one hundred years the deadly legacy of armed conflict throughout the world is the insidious anti-personnel mine…also known as the land mine. Unexploded land-mines remain lethal as a war-torn country begins its reconstruction and development. Frequently the widespread practice of mining agricultural land has led to malnutrition, even to famine and starvation. This heinous military practice is harmful to adults and children alike.

Placing minefields without marking and recording them for later removal is considered a war crime under Protocol II of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons,  an attached condition to the Geneva Conventions.

Using his childhood experience, making toys from whatever materials were available while growing up in war distressed Afghanistan, designer Massoud Hassani has created a wind-powered sphere made from bamboo and biodegradable plastic that can be used to clear landmines. The Mine Kafon.

It is the inexpensive the solution to this dilemma. Watch the video made by artist/film maker Callum Cooper, of the United Kingdom, to see the prototype of this unique lifesaving device in action.

According to the web site for the project One Billion Rising,

“ONE IN THREE WOMEN ON THE PLANET WILL BE RAPED OR BEATEN IN HER LIFETIME.
ONE BILLION WOMEN VIOLATED IS AN ATROCITY.”

On Thursday night, November 22, 2012, the ABC television network broadcast award winning director Spike Lee”s documentary celebrating the 25th anniversary of the late Michael Jackson’s seminal album “BAD”.

On a September weekend in Canada, during the Toronto Film Festival, cinephiles saw the debut of the documentary,”Bad 25″, about the making of the album directed by Lee. Included in the film story promoted along with the 25th anniversary re-release of the album, are people who knew and worked with the King of Pop; they provide inspiring details about the genius of the man displayed when recording the album’s songs and accompanying music videos. There are interviews with artists like Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Cee Lo Green, Chris Brown, and Questlove; they speak of Jackson as fans of the entertainer as well as fellow musicians.

We love Michael Jackson and we find it difficult still to accept, nearly three and a half years following his death, he’s no longer here to share his gift with us. (more…)

One of our intrepid YouThinkWhat staffers recently found on YouTube a video by a young lady named Logan Mac Williams. Remember her name; this could be her fifteen minutes in the fame spotlight or Ms Mac Williams could possibly develop into a talent with popular longevity.

According to Ms MacWilliams she composed this ode to fried chicken during 2005. Her presentation has been seven years in the making.

We believe you’ll agree it’s worthwhile listening to her sing about her love of fried chicken,  (more…)
