Jordan Walker, MD a big thank you! Without You we wouldn’t know what Pfizer, Inc has done. You are young, gifted, as well as attractive, and well educated. Sadly you’ve lost your humanity. It’s clear you’ve abandoned, no, betrayed the oath to do no harm. You are complicit with your employer in its scheme to increase its coffers with a bogus vaccine; while simultaneously experimenting to make more viruses in order to sell a very unsafe and ineffective medicine to the whole entire world. It’s because of your complacency you are indicted for being immorally complicit in this matter.

“Doctor Gates”

American business magnate, software developer, and philanthropist. He is best known as the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), president and chief software architect, while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014…”Doctor Gates” has now turned his attention to becoming the foremost authority on the Corona Virus, also known as Co-Vid-19. “Doctor Gates” is doing all he can to make a vaccine available to stem the tide of the ‘Rona pandemic. He says it’s important for people not to think about a cure. Are YOU ready for installation of your update?

To us, this incident is as hilarious as a scene from a 1930s Marx Brothers’ comedy movie featuring Harpo Marx. Finally, an  interpreter who tells the truth. Many people are outraged by the actions of Thamsanqa Jantjie. People, deaf people in particular, are signing, or saying, he is a fake and a phony. We think Thamsanqa Jantjie was the only honest person on the podium in the Soweto stadium!

 

 

“Perhaps Mr. Jantjie does have some form of genuine mental infirmity. Reports say he says he suffers from schizophrenia. He sees BS all around him. Clearly he’s not alone. “

In case you missed the controversy it surrounds one Thamsanqa Jantjie, a sign language interpreter hired by the South African government to interpret the speeches presented by the various South African and international dignitaries who delivered remarks at the memorial held in the stadium near Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa for the late Nelson Mandela.

Nelson R. Mandela, after spending more than twenty years in prison, jailed as a terrorist, following his release from confinement, Mandela became the first democratically elected black South African president. He died earlier in December 2013 at the age of 95 years.

It seems, according to the thus far official explanation provided by a female South African deputy Cabinet minister,  Mr. Jantjie was hired through a cut-rate, “lie-by-day/fly-by-night” temporary employment agency; it seems one specializing in supplying personnel to interpret for the hearing impaired. Or, this is the cover story. (more…)

A public memorial is scheduled for Monday, April 29, 2013 in New York City at the City Winery for the recently deceased Richie Havens.

Havens, 72, an iconic folk musician, composer, singer, and activist passed away in his home in New Jersey, on the morning of April 22, 2013, Earth Day, of a sudden heart attack.  He had retired from touring three years earlier due to kidney surgery from which he never recovered enough to perform concerts as he once did.

In the following video we see Havens during his performance at the 40th anniversary celebration of Woodstock, 2009, and an earlier performance of Van Morrison’s composition “Tupelo Honey” segued with Bob Dylan’s “Just Like A Woman”.

Richie Havens, beloved around the world for his unique interpretations of music of various genres, folk, rock, blues, gospel, was a musician who enthralled a generation with his  improvised performance of “Freedom” as the opening act of the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. He was also cherished for his activism and his humanitarian efforts for which he received numerous commendations.

Richard Pierce “Richie” Havens will be remembered for having  created his foundation for marine study and conservation, composed the remarkable song that sent him on a mission of peace to the Middle East, his work mobilizing schoolchildren as environmental activists…

In 1991 he received The Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award for his continued presence in and advocacy of sociopolitical consciousness by the public. (more…)

On March 5, 2013 the report from Caracas, Venezuela went around the world. President Hugo Chavez is dead. President Chavez died at the age of fifty-eight after a two year battle with cancer, a fight which included four surgeries. Despite his illness Hugo Chavez handily won reelection in October 2012; however the late president was too ill  to be sworn in on January 10, 2013, so the National Assembly of Venezuela agreed to postpone the inauguration to allow him time to recover from medical treatment in Cuba.

Hugo Chavez, considered by some as a left-wing troublemaker was greatly loved by many poor Venezuelans for his humble roots, unaffected language and the welfare policies he implemented financed by the country’s dominant oil industry. Opponents of the late Chavez viewed him as a dictator who ruined the nation’s economy.

There was some skepticism upon receiving reports of the death of Chavez with students demanding proof of life or more medical details. Within twenty-four hours of his death his vice president, Nicolas Maduro, claimed Chavez had been infected with cancer by “imperialist” enemies. (Read that as the United States of America’s covert operatives had a hand in Chavez’s demise.) Maduro, who is a former union activist and bus driver with close ties to Cuban  leaders, constantly alleged Henrique Capriles, his opponent for office, was conspiring with the U.S.  to destabilize Venezuela by overthrowing those in government who were mentored by Chavez.

In the days following the death of Chavez, according to Ramon Guillermo Aveledo, executive-secretary of the opposition Democratic Unity coalition, the lack of precise information was worrisome to Venezuelans and was a contributing factor in the generation of rumors.

Hugo Chavez is succeeded in office by his deputy, the former vice-president of Venezuela, who was acting president during Chavez’s incapacitation, Nicolas Maduro.  President-elect Maduro, the successor hand picked by the late Chavez, won a close election victory on April 14, 2013.  It was a general election wherein he was challenged by the opposition candidate Henrique “Majunche” Capriles who consistently and relentlessly pointed out the failures of the Chavez administration.

“I am Chavez. We are all Chavez.” ~ President-elect Nicolas Maduro, during Venezuelan presidential campaign

“There is a large percentage of people with degrees in the community who struggle to find work in their own profession; there are still schools who don’t admit children because of their race; and the Rabbinate still makes things hard for the Ethiopian community. We need to amend existing legislation and at the same time work to legislate new laws to help society be more egalitarian.” ~ Pnina Tamano-Shata, (Yesh Atid ), first black female Ethiopian MK, (Member of Knesset)

Elected in January of this year, attorney Pnina Tamano-Shata has become Israel’s first black female Ethiopian representative in the * Knesset.

*(The literal translation of the Hebrew word Knesset is “the gathering”. It is the name of the single parliamentary house in the government of Israel responsible for passing all laws, electing the President and Prime Minister, (although the Prime Minister is ceremonially appointed by the President), approving the cabinet, and supervising the work of the government.)

Pnina Tamano-Shata, is  a member of the Yesh Atid a new liberal Israeli political party, formed in 2012 by former journalist Yair Lapid,  who now serves as Finance Minister. The party’s stated mission is to represent the interests of the middle class. (more…)

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…

We believe the Prime Minister of Australia has a right to be angry. Julia Gillard, elected the first female Prime Minister in June 2010, has endured for more than two years insults, rude remarks far outside the norm of the political realm from the leadership and members of the Opposition Party.

The Australian system, though different than the one in the US is similar because it is bicameral with an executive, the Prime Minister.

We believe, like the US President Barack Obama, being the first black man to hold the office of President of the United States, being the first to achieve any high level of leadership in government or commerce has its drawbacks, not enough to cause any person to forgo the desire to pursue and be successful in an endeavor where someone who looks like you has never been before.
