RIP HELLEN THOMAS

I first met Hellen Thomas in Laffyette  park on the north side of the White house in the late 80s. as i recall  Hellen was setting talking to a protester about what to do to get rid of nuclear weapons.  she sat listening to him for about an hour. then stood up . wiping the con rete dust from her backside, said” I have to go. “
  they talked agin occassionaly.
I was freaquantly in and out of Dc. usualy  around Laffyette park.
  I would occasionaly see Hellen out on 17th around Pensylvania ave. on nice days. i knew she was having a bad day if she didn’t stop to  say hi.
i always wanted to write. i would try novels and about my life.
then about 12 years ago helen and i were talking at a coffee shop I think on H street.  i said”  I wish i could find some one to publish my writing. but I;m Just a bum. “

She looked at me . "No your not" she would say.
  then asked "Have you Blogged?
No. never really thought about it” i told her.

she gave me a couple URLS. and  soon i was posting
and belive it My first post was about Hellen Thomas.
  RIP Hellen This bum will miss your wit and advice.

injustice for one is injustice for all.

I usually don't ask anyone to do anything and as most of you know I hate to be told what to do.

However in this case maybe you could re-consider passing this along//dale

 

You probably won't recognize me or even know my name. My name was Antonio Santiago.

I was the 13-month old baby who was shot in the face at point blank range by two Black teens who were attempting to rob my mom who also got shot. A Grand Jury of my mommy and daddy's peers from Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty because they were too young... too bad, I was given a death sentence by them for being too young, White, innocent, defenseless and in the 'wrong' neighborhood where I lived.
My mommy and daddy made the mistake of being White and living in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder was not ruled a Hate Crime. The Justice Department never even investigated my death, or if my rights were violated. President Obama didn't take so much as a single moment to acknowledge my murder or honor me.
I am one of the youngest murder victims in our great nation's history, but the media doesn't care to cover the story of my tragic demise. Michelle wasn't heartbroken. President Obama has no children who could possibly look like me, so he doesn't care and the media didn't care because my story is not interesting enough to bring them ratings so they can sell commercial time slots.
There is not a White equivalent of Al Sharpton because if there was he would be declared racist, so there is no one rushing to Brunswick GA to demand justice for me.

There is no White Panther party to put a bounty on the lives of those Black guys who murdered me. I have no voice, I have no representation and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.
So while you are seeking justice, rioting and demonstrating for Treyvon Martin, please remember to seek justice for me too. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee-shirts with my face on them and make the world pay attention, just like you're doing for Treyvon Martin.
Thank you

Should have expected us!!!!

Greetings world. We are anonymous. We are the people.

Governments of the world: take this message as your last will and testament. The game is officially over. Social media has given birth to something new. Now it's time to set the record straight. This video is intended as that spark that gets delivered straight into the hearts and minds of the world. This video is an idea – a shared idea – so listen very carefully and make sure you are sitting down.

On the 5th of November 2013, Anonymous call for a day of global civil disobedience. This time we target all government facilities across the globe. Calling all free thinkers: the time for civil disobedience is now. This time it also seems unions from around the world are supporting this action. The lion sleeps no more. Ask yourself this: where will you be when we make history? November 5th, 2013. Worldwide. Now it's a vendetta. Now it's personal. Now it's time to occupy everywhere. It's time to throw everything we have at November 5th. It's time to relight the flame of protest until our demands are met. Now it's time for our brothers and sisters of the awakening to take to the streets. Austerity means war.

Here's to the dreamers, the one's that stand for human freedom, the Occupiers, the people that change things. It's about solidarity, but more than that, it's about the people, the people we meet, the people of the world standing together for a common goal. Concerned by numerous ecological and social problems, we stand united. As long as there are young and idealist people that share the views of ultimate human freedom, there will always be hope for the world.

We are anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. On November 5th, 2013: EXPECT US.

Goodbye

  Setting on a sidewalk in Washington DC Tony ate a large meal. And told us he couldn’t handel being homeless any more . I served in Nam. And now I’m out here. My wife is gone and my kids don’t know me.

They say I’m a drunk.

I say good bye.

Tony then stood and walked away down the sidewalk from us. Then we heard screams of pain. He had set himself on fire.

this is why we fight!

fighting for freedom from bankers tyranny.
setting on steps to stop evictions because of banks foreclosures
promises made by the
grinning trolls. of lower mortages.
but they cut off the higher and you cant pay.
then before the lower rate kicks in  they beguin eviction.

why we the people stand up to fight aginst the rich bankers of the world.
high unemployment becuase of corporate concerns of profit before people.
prefering to pay a person in another nation . who is too young to work. under our laws.
pennies a day. far below minimum wage.  to make your shoes and hoodies.  far from American shores.
causing our industry to shut down. true Americans suddenly idle.
then along comes a man a mouthpeie for insurane agencies.
now they say we must work for healthcare.
but there is no work to be had.
becuase,  suddenly if your an American you have to compete with guest workers
for even minimum wage jobs.  sweeping sidewalks . washing dishes. With collage segrees.
becuase we are told americasns dont want those jobs. that pay imagrants enough to afford our homes we used to enjoy. becuase of our hard work.
i say thats a lie becuase im american and i want that job.

that is why we rise up. protesting in the streets. 
marching in bare feet.
our demands are simple . remove big bank money from our elected officials pockets,
and make them listen to the American taxpayer who elected them.
  yes the bankers and corporations hire people to
provide our elected officals with money to vote for what big money wants.
not whats good for america.
this is why we are in the streets. marching.
  fighting the corporate security forces.
for our veary lives.

RIP TONY!
