It is ironic that Thomas would rule out the use of race in all but the most extreme circumstances when he has advanced all the way to the Supreme Court largely because of his race.In their book, “Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas,” Kevin Merida and Michael A. Fletcher observe: “Every Thomas employer, from Danforth, who gave him his first job, to President George H.W. Bush, who nominated him to the Supreme Court, chose Thomas at least partly because he is black. Race is a central fact of his meteoric rise, and Thomas has alternately denied it and resented it –all the way to the top.”

Iran fist-in-glove with Iraqi rebels: America builds its case
US military spokesmen, officials and analysts are gradually adding flesh to the bones of allegations of official Iranian collaboration with Shia and Sunni insurgents in Iraq, including elements linked to al-Qaida. The development comes amid reports that the White House is leaning towards military action against Iran over its suspect nuclear activities and supposed meddling in Iraq, and growing expectations that George Bush will extend the military "surge" to at least next summer.
Do you believe this? Watch developments on this closely. And prepare your children for what's to come. These peoplpe have told us this is a war without end. America is engaged in Ethnic Cleansing on a global scale. Look at who they are attacking, the natural resources they are appropriating, and what you are being set up for.
The military in recent weeks has said that the "surge" is not sustainable. They DON'T have the personnel for it to last much longer. This gang of criminals has shown that they are determined not only to continue down this path, but to increase the destruction. While they have focused attention on Iraq, there have been covert actions in Iran, they have set up an Africa Command and inserted themselves into many countries on that continent covertly and overtly.
This nation is patroling the seas off Africa! WHY!
This nation just agreed to give India Nuclear material! WHY!

Cleric Switches Tactics to Meet Changes in Iraq
Mr. Sadr and his political allies have largely disengaged from government, contributing to the political paralysis noted in a White House report last week. That outsider status has enhanced Mr. Sadr’s appeal to Iraqis, who consider politics less and less relevant to their daily lives.

Clarence Thomas: a Lost Cause – Part I
Clarence Thomas is such a lost soul that when adverse, race-sensitive 5-4 Supreme Court rulings are issued, everyone knows that he has already voted with the conservative majority before the votes are officially announced.

A Tale of Two Genocides — Congo and Darfur: The Blatantly Inconsistent U.S. Position
As many as five million people have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A quarter million or so have perished in Darfur, western Sudan. Both are abominations, genocides, crimes against humanity, but only Darfur rates coverage in the U.S. corporate media, action by the United States on the diplomatic and military front, or concerted interest by the Congressional Black Caucus. The Congolese genocide, triggered directly by the U.S. and its surrogates, is masked in silence.

ANOTHER ANGLE
News others won't tell you
History was made on this day:
1941 - Martha Reeves is born in Eufaula, Alabama. Her family will move to Detroit, Michigan before her first birthday. As a child, she will sing in her grandfather's church and in school, and continue her vocal training through high school. After graduating in 1959, she will join a girl group called the Fascinations, and the following year co-founds the Del-Phis, whose membership will include the future Vandellas. In 1961, she will win a talent contest as a solo act and get a nightclub engagement performing as Martha LaVaille. There she will be noticed by Motown executive William "Mickey" Stevenson, who will invite her to stop by the label's offices. She will not land an audition right away, but will parlay her visit into a secretarial job in the A&R department. She will catch a lucky break when backup singers are needed for a recording session, and the Del-Phis will wind up supporting Marvin Gaye on his first hit, 1962's "Stubborn Kind of Fellow." Stevenson will be impressed enough to record a Del-Phis (renamed the Vels) single, "You'll Never Cherish a Love So True ('Til You Lose It)," and release it on Motown's Mel-O-Dy subsidiary.

Besides claiming that every single person in "Africa" isn't educated, and doing so in an extremely patronising way, it is also disturbing that this organisation thinks blackfacing kids with mud equals "relating to african children".

Caught Red-Handed: Media Backtracks on Iran’s Anti-Israel “Threat”
The effect this misquote has had on American policy towards Iran is undeniable. The majority of 2008 Presidential candidates in both parties have repeatedly mentioned the alleged threat in speeches and interviews, obviously influenced by media reports. And yet suddenly, after all this hoopla, at least two of the biggest media titans, the BBC and the Associated Press, appear to be backing away from the incorrect “wiped off the map” quotation they’ve been drilling into people’s minds for so long.

Two Races, Two Systems of Justice in Louisiana
Last week in Detroit, the NAACP held a mock funeral for the N-word. But a chilling case in Louisiana shows us how far we have to go to bury racism. This story begins in the small central Louisiana town of Jena. Last September, a black high school student requested the school's permission to sit beneath a broad, leafy tree in the hot schoolyard. Until then, only white students sat there.

From Mission Accomplished to Mission Impossible -- July 2007
Striking a “patriotic” pose for the cameras, Bush reminded me of another George, in a movie I saw years ago: Patton. Remember his pose in front of the American flag, resolute, focused, unyielding, and brave? George Bush was our Patton, McCarthy, Eisenhower, Marshall, and Mr. Top Gun himself, Randy “Duke” Cunningham. In the backdrop of all the pomp and circumstance, in perfect camera-shot, there hung a banner with the words: “Mission Accomplished.” Bush was in his glory, and all was right with the world.
IMPEACH BUSH - Cindy Sheehan
Thousands of Americans from around the country will join together to demand the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and insist on the immediate end to the war in Iraq. September 15th is the date General David Petraeus is mandated to make a report to Congress on the progress of the so-called surge. The eyes of the national and international media will be focused on Washington DC at that time. In the coming weeks we will be taking out newspaper ads, producing 500,000 leaflets, flyers, and stickers, and setting up outreach committees for the September 15th March in Washington all over the country.

Sheffield, because of his abilities as a player, and because of his veteran status has been acting as an unofficial spokesperson for the African American players in Major League Baseball.
ECONOMY:
Bleak future ahead
The reality is the dollar is about to collapse. The beneficiaries of the fiat racket know this and they are going to do everything in their power to try to prevent it. Iran’s recent transition away from the dollar in oil transactions will be a major trigger. Ever wonder why we invaded Iraq? Saddam was in the process of doing the same thing. Saddam had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 and he posed absolutely no “terror” threat. The only threat that was posed was to the folks that own the federal reserve. War with Iran is coming soon.
If This Is Such a Rich Country, Why Are We Getting Squeezed?
The commercial media is telling us two perfectly contradictory stories about the American economy. The first is how wonderfully rich we are in the United States. The stock market's booming -- some analysts predict the Dow will break the 15,000 this year -- the economy is expanding at a healthy clip, productivity growth is up and unemployment and inflation are relatively low.
But, at the same time, we're also told that we don't have the money to pay for a robust social safety net.

In a career that spans seven decades, Hank Jones has worked with everyone who's anyone in jazz, including Bennie Goodman, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster and Billie Holliday.

Why Do We Hate Them?
For those who still fail to realise, to kill is rather simple, to turn towns into piles of rubble isn’t that complicated either. Yet, to raise a child may take a few years, to build a city takes hundreds of years and to establish harmony between human beings takes thousand of years. We should stop lying to others and to ourselves. We know perfectly well why they hate us, they have some good reasons, as things stand momentarily, we are the ones who are killing them en mass. It is us who demolish their towns and kill their kids.
