10 People Who Should Be on the Most Wanted Terrorist List vs Assata Shakur

Here’s some people who need to be on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List as Opposed to Assata Shakur…

Raymond Kelly NYPD

1-Raymond Kelly…NY Police Commissioner . His Stop and Frisk program has been sheer terror for the over one million people detained..Over 90% are Black and Brown… Less than 10% have been found in violation of any crime..NY just recently did its 5 millionth Stop and Frisk. It was also just recently revealed that Kelly says African-Americans have not been stopped enough

2-Mike Duke…CEO of Wal-Mart.. More than 800 believed dead in the recent factory collapse in Bangladesh.. Another 200 in the horrific fire in that same company.. Such atrocities happened because CEOs like Duke wanted to spend pennies a day vs doing recommended improvements… We won’t even talk about the terror Wal-Mart has meant for small businesses they displaced with their big box stores.

3-Christine Largarde, Dominique Strauss-Khan and the Board of Governors for the IMF Bank.. Global Austerity, Economic Hardship, Third World Countries Upended.. Those who run the IMF are true terrorist of the highest order..

4- Hugh Grant... CEO of Monsanto… Can you say GMOs? Can you say patented seeds? Can you say Monsanto Protection Act which shields these guys from liability? Can you say contaminated farms thanks to their patented seeds going airborne? You pay them if your contaminated field yields a Monsanto plant..

5-Anders Fogh Rasmussen… Secretary General of NATO.. If you aren’t going along with this global plan to corporatize the world.. expect NATO to be the attack dog and moth piece for imperialistic powers..These guys run around calling other people terrorists when in fact they’ve proven to be what they accuse others of being.. As for Rasmussen, this is a guy who holds a philosophy that says the ‘Welfare State is Evil’ and needs to be done away with..

6-President Barack Obama… No I’m not picking on the man who heads of the current expansions of Africom.. I’m not picking on the man who has said and has now done pre-emptive strikes and gone into other countries looking for ‘terrorists’.. No I’m not picking on the man who holds weekly meetings (Terror Tuesdays) where he decides who around the world gets to live or die via his drone policy. No I’m not picking on a man who has enacted new laws and has aggressively gone after government whistle-blowers..I’m not picking on a guy who signed into law NDAA which says the entire world is a battlefield and thus subject to whatever steps are necessary to shut shyt down and take you out.. Lupe was right

7-Benjamin Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel we give this guy billions of our hard-earned tax dollars every year and what does he do with it? He reigns terror over his Palestinian neighbors and has maintained a system that makes Apartheid look like a walk in the park

8- Rupert Murdoch.. Media Mogul… Fox News need I say More??

Koch Brothers

9-David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch  (The Koch Brothers) Can you say ALEC? Can you say dismantle public sector unions? Can you say Corporate Tyranny? Can you say soon to be media moguls after they finish buying up newspapers like the LA Times..They are the worst of the worst..

10-Penny Pritzke-Hotel Mogul and Subprime Lending Queen.. She will soon head up the Commerce Department.. You never heard of her? Many haven’t, but she’s Obama’s financier. She’s also the one who help usher in the subprime scheme that lifted over 90 billion dollars from the Black community alone..And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.. Obama speaks for her, not the other way around..

Dishonoroable Mentions

Joe Arpio...Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona-Hater of Immigrants

Russ Girling-CEO of TransCanada -owner of Keystone XL Pipeline

Damon T. Hininger- CEO of CCA Corrections Corporation of America.. Largest Private Prison Outfit

Thoughts on Earth Day 2013: Down With Monsanto!

Today is Earth Day and in celebration, let’s put  a major middle finger up to Monsanto... If you don’t know about them, get familiar, this is the most gangsta of the big agribusiness companies. They have worldwide reach and their presence is felt by many in the most tyrannical ways..

First of all they patent seeds and make folks all over the world pay for those seeds to plant corn and other crops. because of wind and other types of weather Monsanto seeds oftentimes wind contaminating other people’s crops. When this happen the laws are now such that people have to pay Monsanto for the crops that grown that exhibit traces of their patented seeds. So for example, if corn is naturally white, a company  like Monsanto may have developed corn that’s yellow in their labs.. They patent the seeds so that yellow corn that doesn’t even yield seeds grow..

Now let’s say a farmer paid x amount of dollars for these patented Monsanto seeds and due to wind, rain etc, some of those seeds go onto the property of his neighbor..one might think that’s no big deal. But in reality it is.. When that neighbors crops grow and all of sudden he has corn that’s yellowish vs white, Monsanto lawyers will come a calling demanding payment ..This sort of tactic is happening globally..This is just the tip of the fight around GMOS (genetically modified foods) which is what Monsanto is all about..

It’s a damn shame that the NAACP sided with Monsanto and the GMO industry when  historic legislation was introduced on the California ballot, last November. That was Prop 37 which would’ve required food companies to let you know you were using GMOs.. Millions came out in support of the Law.. the NAACP sided with Monsanto..  It was a damn shame..

It was equally shameful when President Obama went along and signed HR 933 which contained a rider dubbed the Monsanto Protection Act. This means Monsanto can not be stopped by courts for growing GMOs even if those things raise major concerns or are even dangerous…  Lots of people made excuses for Obama, saying he had to sign the bill otherwise the government would’ve been shut down.. blah blah blah.. We didn’t see him objecting too much when he signed the rider. We haven’t seen him objecting now or even supporting the efforts which included petitions with close to 500 thousand signatures..

While some tried to excuse Obama, saying his hands were tied, we see that his hands were not tied when he appointed former Monsanto executive Michael Taylor as the deputy director for the FDA.. what was his excuse for that?

Shame on Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland who heads the Senate Appropriations Committee and had an opportunity to hold hearings on this rider when HR 933 was put before her.. She knew about the mass outcry, but caved in to lobbyists and refused..

The Obamas, the NAACP and maybe even Sen Mikulski will probably celebrate Earth Day today thus confusing folks as to where they really stand.. let the record show they supported something that was terrible…Down with Monsanto.. Down with GMOs.. That’s a globally held perspective!..

The Sordid Legacy of Margret Thatcher.. What We Should Never Ever Forget

The funeral of former British prime minister Margret Thatcher took place in the UK today, one day after the Boston Marathon tragedy.. We talked to long time activist Lee Jasper former senior advisor to the mayor of London and co-chair of BARAC & National Black Members Officer for the Respect Political Party in UK about her legacy..

Lee noted that there’s been an all out attempt to lionize Thatcher and remake her similar to the way Ronald Reagan was remade and sanitized. They gave her full military honors which caused quite a bit of controversy.. They also expected to have the streets lined with millions. Thatcher’s funeral drew less than 100 thousand people. More folks came out in the streets of London for the funeral of former IRA (Irish Republican Army) leader and hunger striker Bobby Sands then they did Thatcher..

During our conversation Jasper broke down the alliance Thatcher forged with brutal Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and later Ronald Reagan to enact neo-Liberal policies that continue to this day…. He talked about how Thatcher made it a priority to try and break the unions and severely economically cripple working class people. He also spoke about her outright hostility toward Black people..

Jasper talked about the policing policies Thatcher oversaw including one called SUS  (Stop and Search) where thousands of Black people were jailed simply on police suspecting they did a crime..They now have in place a policy that was the prototype for Stop and Frisk.. Lee explained Thatcher’s brutal policies along with her refusal to have investigated a racially motivated fire started by a white supremacist where 13 Black teens were killed led to a major riot in 1981 in the Brixton section of London. Police enhanced the SUS laws and more than a 1000 people were detained and hemmed up by police.

We also talked at length about Thatcher’s foreign policies and her support for white supremacist leader Ian Smith who presided over Rhodesia before it became Zimbabwe.. She talked about her seeing Nelson Mandela and the ANC in South Africa as terrorists. The woman was grand hater of Black liberation.

Lee Jasper Gives us the breakdown on Margret Thatcher

It’s with that in mind that Jasper expressed disappointment in the praise that President Obama showered on Thatcher considering the intense dislike many had for her and how divisive she was.. . Of course we should not be surprised considering that strong ties Thatcher had with Reagan and Obama’s repeated praise for the man we once called ‘The Gipper’.

Also during our interview we talked about the tragedy in Boston and how Londoners had to deal with constant bombings during the hey day of the IRA, … Lee expressed condolences to the folks in Boston and then talked about how it led to widespread fears resulting in intrusive and harsh laws..One of the laws that emerged was the precursor to what we now know as one that allows for indefinite detainment of what we call enemy combatants. He talked about the type of stigma and brutality heaped upon the Irish by police during that time and how many were deemed to be that..
