Happy Thanksgiving! » Posted By Kalima On November 27, 2014 @ 3:02 pm Happy Thanksgiving to all American Planet members and readers. Although we don’t celebrate this day in any of the three countries I have lived in and am living in now, I still have many things to be thankful for. I’m thankful to what is left of my scattered family. I’m thankful to my friends old and new for putting up with me and not deciding to dump me. I’m thankful to AdLib and kesmarn for making coming to work here so much fun and for their endless support when I get lost. I’m thankful for our wonderful members who make The Planet such an interesting, passionate and welcoming place to be. I’m thankful to your President for being the man he is, all he has done and tries to do to make ordinary American lives better. Last but not least, I’m thankful to my husband for seeing me through the good times and the bad while sharing my joy and giving me his shoulder to lean on when times are bad. Thank you Darling! I suppose by now most of you are stuffed and that “crazy uncle” is finally fast asleep in the bathtub, so take care, give the chef a kiss and a hand with the clearing up, then enjoy the rest of the day. HAPPY THANKSGIVING PLANETEERS!!! Hey, leave that poor doggie alone!! Thanks for doing this every year, AdLib. » Posted By Kalima On November 27, 2014 @ 2:36 pm The Ferguson Grand Jury Decision Unorthodox Police Procedures Emerge In Grand Jury Documents » Posted By Kalima On November 27, 2014 @ 11:10 pm Hello J.M. Brodie. So glad that you found it and had the chance to read it. I thought that the author did a brilliant job of condensing that pertinent history in her article. She left no doubt about the treatment of black people then and now. No, unfortunately, not much has changed. I just posted this in my MB updates, and the writer’s words are what so many of us are now thinking about the farce in Ferguson and beyond . Michael Brown was not a boy, he was a ‘demon’ There’s a reason that Ferguson looks like a horror movie – the main character was a monster. —- How Ferguson showed us the truth about police https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ixRx4kOBPU » Posted By Kalima On November 27, 2014 @ 12:48 am Yet he dismisses all the witness accounts that didn’t fit his agenda, blames the media and social media, and only accepts those that clear Wilson of wrongdoing. This excuse from Wilson of being afraid and the victim trying to grab for his gun, is exactly what Zimmerman said during his farce of a trial. Wilson’s testimony is here say, and Michael Brown can no longer defend himself. Asked Monday night whether he had any regrets about the way he handled the case, McCulloch replied, âNo, not at all.â This shouldnât be a surprise, given McCullochâs history. That his father, a police officer, was killed by a black suspect doesnât by itself disqualify him, but his record should have: not a single prosecution of a shooting by police in his 23 years on the job. Four times he presented evidence to a grand jury in such a case and didnât get an indictment; now he can add a fifth. Well, while it doesn’t disqualify him, it does make it that much more suspicious and questions his motives and integrity for how he handled the GJ. After all, George Bush invaded a country that cost hundreds of thousands of lives because Saddam Hussein tried to assassinate his father. Right? “Bob McCullochâs pathetic prosecution of Darren Wilson” » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 6:16 pm Hello Kes. This DA saying that Wilson was saving the life of a baby when he heard about the robbery at the convenience store is the total opposite to a police statement that he hadn’t heard about it when he shot Michael Brown, I remember this clearly because I posted the link here. As far as I’m concerned, this DA is a conniving, lying pos, who conspired with the police department and town officials not to arrest or charge Wison with a bloody thing. In fact he tried to paint Wilson as the victim. Nothing about this sits well with me, and it stinks of corruption to high heaven. He should be investigated and disbarred. Heads should roll in the police department and local government who took part or encouraged the disgraceful coverup should be removed. They are not fit to govern anywhere. Btw, the DA’s father was a policeman who was shot and killed by a black man and should never have been allowed to destroy justice in Ferguson. » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 5:16 pm Glad to hear you liked it AdLib, it really hits a nerve and explains the roots of the situation so well. » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 2:34 pm Hi GreenChica. Good idea, I think that everyone should take the time to go through it. Looking at the stills from the rioting, you would think it was all of Ferguson setting fire to police cars and trashing businesses. The majority went home after the police started to use excessive tear gas, and those looting were mostly from out of town. If I see one more picture of a burning car I’ll scratch my eyes out. So much for the media. Where were the interviews with the majority of peaceful protestors? It’s all bs. So was the Grand Jury fiasco, it was tainted and biased from the start. The press would better serve the public if they actually did some investigative reporting to uncover the coverup that began the minute Wilson shot an unarmed black teenager to death. This is not justice. This is revenge. » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 2:29 pm Happy you found it, funk. My pleasure. » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 2:17 pm I was going to post this on Thursday’s MB, but think it’s better here where everyone will see it. Great article about some important black history and where the real anger lies. “Ferguson isnât about black rage against cops. Itâs white rage against progress.” » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 2:15 pm STATE OF MISSOURI V. DARREN WILSON (you will have to download the pdf) Full Transcript Of The Ferguson Case Including Darren Wilson’s Testimony http://digg.com/2014/darren-wilson-testimony-transcript —- Justifying Homicide Why Darren Wilson was never going to be indicted for killing Michael Brown. —- Michael Brown shooting http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2014/nov/25/michael-brown-darren-wilson-ferguson-protests » Posted By Kalima On November 25, 2014 @ 4:53 am Violence from a few, excessive use of tear gas and gunshots heard, kes. » Posted By Kalima On November 24, 2014 @ 7:46 pm What?? The police said that Wilson had no idea about the robbery at the time of the shooting. Rubbish and a huge coverup from beginning to end!! A sad day for justice in America. I feel for the Brown family and for all mothers of black male children. Now I need to throw up. » Posted By Kalima On November 24, 2014 @ 6:28 pm It’s just crazy and heavily biased if Wilson gets off. Zero steps forward, and ten steps back for racial equality in America. “Grand jury reaches decision in case of Ferguson officer” » Posted By Kalima On November 24, 2014 @ 3:41 pm Republican Congressmen to Sue Own Wives For Taking Out Trash I agree, Nirek but am rather partial to “Empty words and ideas” and “trash – nonsensical talk or writing – codswallop, folderol, trumpery, wish-wash, applesauce, rubbish, tripe, drivel, garbage – a worthless message -” too. đ » Posted By Kalima On November 24, 2014 @ 4:01 pm Very funny piece, AdLib! đ Oops!! I think that those wives threw out the wrong trash. Definition of trash (sound familiar?) trash (trsh) 2. A place or receptacle where rubbish is discarded: threw the wrapper in the trash. 3. 4. A person or group of people regarded as worthless or contemptible. trash – worthless people trash – nonsensical talk or writing » Posted By Kalima On November 24, 2014 @ 2:54 pm Hello Nirek. A lot of indignant foot stomping from Ms Lindsey. Could it be menopausal? Without Benghazi, what will become of him? đ http://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/23/politics/lindsey-graham-benghazi-report/ » Posted By Kalima On November 24, 2014 @ 2:46 pm The Weekend Music Thread-Whatever Floats Your Boat I’m sure that I can speak for everyone here when I say you are very welcome, and we are sure that you would do the same for us if and when we needed it. Be well and heal. Loved that song you posted through the decades. Never fails to touch me. Thank you. Randy Crawford https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UJpZwTjSOPk » Posted By Kalima On November 22, 2014 @ 8:20 pm Military Training is Good Training for Businesses Too Yes, I know what you meant, Nirek, but they don’t seem to be hiring, so there should be more government sponsored programs to bring returning soldiers back into mainstream society if the they are able to work. That’s what I mean, I’m talking about the responsibility of any government who send their young out to fight for their country, to help them in any way they can to lead a normal life after they return. If there was enough being done, there wouldn’t be so many vets living out on the streets. After all, we are not talking about tens of millions people. Again, the Pentagon waste so much money on unnecessary defence spending that could be used to help the vets instead. As far as I’m concerned, that is their moral duty to these men and women. Most of them have suffered enough. » Posted By Kalima On November 28, 2014 @ 4:04 pm Hello Nirek. It does seem like a total waste of willing and able employees doesn’t it? When the Brits moved out of Iraq and Afghanistan, all soldiers with injuries were dumped from the army like garbage because they could no longer fight. Some had to wait for years for any sort of benefits. If this is how a military branch treats it’s soldiers then there is something seriously wrong with asking them to fight for their country. As I said before, if the over fed brass at The Pentagon can waste all that money on weapons and planes that will never be used, the least they can do is to care for those who fought when they come home, and that includes their return to society and to a secure job prospect. No vet should be homeless and trying to survive on your cruel streets. It goes way beyond shameful, it is unforgivable. » Posted By Kalima On November 27, 2014 @ 10:06 pm Paris attacks: Police in deadly swoop on apartment in northern suburb http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34853657 » Posted By Kalima On November 18, 2015 @ 6:07 am Loved it, Nirek! Thanks for posting it. Peace always. » Posted By Kalima On November 15, 2015 @ 3:50 pm Paris attacks: Police seek ‘dangerous’ Salah Abdeslam http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34826117 » Posted By Kalima On November 15, 2015 @ 3:16 pm UPDATE: Paris attacks: Omar Ismail Mostefai identified as assailant http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34825080 » Posted By Kalima On November 15, 2015 @ 12:42 am Paris attacks: Prosecutor Molins says three teams involved http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34823938 » Posted By Kalima On November 14, 2015 @ 3:08 pm Thank you Kes, I think he will be ok. I’ve posted the latest from The Guardian at the top of the thread. 8 terrorists dead, 127 people dead and over 200 injured, 80 of them critically. That 8 men could cause so much carnage in the 40 minutes from the first attack until the last at the concert hall, seems inconceivable, but it happened so nothing seems certain. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of France and the families of the victims. Odd that no one has claimed responsibility yet. » Posted By Kalima On November 14, 2015 @ 1:46 am See you next Friday then, Nirek, and thank you for your kind words and support. Take care and peace to you and yours. » Posted By Kalima On November 14, 2015 @ 1:36 amComments Posted By Kalima
