U.S. gives drop-dead treatment to tortured beauty

U.S. gives drop-dead treatment to tortured beauty (see photos)

Woman, 23, persecuted for political views, but may be denied protection

Auxiliadora Martinez, a Nicaraguan political refugee, was beated with sticks, shot at,
nearly raped and almost murdered - all because she fought for free elections.

Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega has employed neighborhood committees called Citizens Power Councils,
or CPCs, used by his corrupt Sandinista party to spy on citizens, intimidate and torture them.

-many photos-

Appalling story, Tomas. I wonder why the US officials are so set on not giving her asylum. Maybe they're racists.

School offers pole dancing for parents (see photo)

A primary school has started offering mothers of pupils lessons in
pole dancing, claiming it will help their children's grades.

Moms are invited to take part in the lessons where they are taught
to swing around on the pole and perform saucy poses.

Bring a whole new meaning to 'Parents evenings' (see photo)

As to Obama's political affiliations and background, the fact is that many of us who are products of that era and the periods after it have all entertained different sorts of radical philosophy. I read George Jackson, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver when I was a teenager, not to mention Malcolm X. Many people, though certainly not all, have read and considered the dissident positions, it is par for the course in most university settings. I have read very closely the main Liberation Theologians, Feminist discourse, Central and South American history and the praxis of US hegemony in the region, African liberation discourse, American Indian liberation discourse, Chomsky, Zinn, Ayers and Bernadette Dorn to boot. All of this stuff is as relevant and is essentially 'American'. It is a part of what has informed many of us, as well as the intelligentsia of this country.

It does not particularly disturb me that Obama is aware of this 'discourse', as a matter of fact I consider it a tremendous plus. If he understands these discourses, he will then understand how the dispossessed of this world feel, and the mixed feelings, the disturbed feelings, they have toward America. Even his Islamic connections do not disturb me, perhaps because I have read Palestinian resistance literature and grasp the discourse. Obama clearly represents a new mode of thinking, a new internationalism, and I sincerely feel that 'we' need to move forward with new discourses, more relevant discourses, discourses that are vitally connected to real people, and the world as it really is. McCain, as we can all see, represents merely a continuation of the old discourses and the typical way of doing things, seeing things.

We need to break the stranglehold that the pseudo-Religious Right has on the flow of ideas, and all these ideas need to come out in the open and be discussed publicly. The fact that there is so much resistence to allowing this, like on TeeVee and on talk shows, is evidence that America is a country of mental midgits and backwater hicks. Any of these ideas could be discussed and are discussed, say, on French talk shows. It is called intellectual freedom and represents intellectual vibrancy.

I do not isolate my spiritual sense---the word they use around here is 'enlightenment' and masculinity---from the affairs of the world, and what I think about the world, and what is happening in the world. This, right now, is our 'spiritual world', and our world is our 'spiritual world', and so I say to Dan (or Carl or anyone), if you don't like my ideas or attitude, then simply ban me, but don't yack about what I write or complain. Just hit the fucking ban button.

Can I make this any clearer?

(Now, there you have more substantial ideas presented in clear prose than---if you will permit me---you ever express in all your distorted writing, jack-ass.)

Bush/Cheney to Obama/Biden

Bush/Cheney to Obama/Biden

-snips-

Now, just months into their tenure, the Barack Obama administration has more than fulfilled the murderous promises he made to his elite constituency, deepening the mass destruction of Bush/Cheney, while charming its victims all over the world into enjoying their own demise.

The signs were clear from the early days of the presidential contest that Obama was,
like every presidential candidate, a handpicked puppet.

For those who have spent the past eight hellish years opposing and resisting the crimes of Bush/Cheney, prepare yourself for worse: the "friendliest" fascism, and the most dangerous stealth messenger in history.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATELY OWNED CORPORATION
FED OWNERSHIP REVEALED

* Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin
* Lazard Brothers Bank of Paris
* Israel Moses Sieff Banks of Italy
* Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Germany and Amsterdam
* Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
* Lehman Brothers Bank of New York
* Goldman Sachs Bank of New York
* Chase Manhattan Bank of New York (Controlled by the Rockefeller Family Tree)
CREATING FINANCIAL SLAVES

Taking the ability to create money out of the hands of government and into the hands of a few private bankers has three negative points: enslaving the public in a whirlwind of taxes, inflation, and debt payments.

The Fed System has forced the American government to borrow all money into existence. The private Fed just prints up Federal Reserve Notes and the government gives it bonds in return. Now, the government owes the private ownership of this corrupt central bank the face value of the bonds, plus interest.

This is a system where money is counterfeited (by the Fed) and then a debtor (American taxpayer) must pay that money back with interest.

A Dark Hole of Democracy: How the Fed Prints Money Out of Thin Air
Where did the central bank get all the money it is handing out? Basically, the Fed printed it, out of thin air. That is what central banks do. Who told the Fed governors they could do this? Nobody, really -- not Congress or the president. The Federal Reserve Board, alone among government agencies, does not submit its budgets to Congress for authorization and appropriation. It raises its own money, sets its own priorities.
