Let's get to the "roots" of the problem.
Barry, Eric dickHolder, and their cronies are ALL racist bigots.
- Barry and Moochelle sat for HOW MANY years listening to their Black Liberation Theology Rev. Wright preach "God damn AmeriKKKa?"
- Later on, from the ignored New Black Panthers voting place suppression incident, to the black Hahvahd knucklehead professor where the white cop was blamed but a 'beer summit' made it all OK, to St. Trayvon of the Skittles, to Ferguson today.
Racists come in Black, not just White...
And not one damned word, or ounce of respect, for the LEO's that died in the line of duty while these ass-munches not only ignored, but betrayed, their oaths of office.
Ptah! Ptooey!

UN Imposed Multi-Culturalism - Civilisation Itself Is Diminished.................From Daniel Thomas
When United Nations super bureaucrat Peter Sutherland appeared on the BBC some time ago and talked about the need for the European Union to 'undermine national homogeity', one cannot be sure that the viewing public, let alone the public at large, realised the enormity of what he was saying.
A former head honcho at BP and Goldman Sachs, he appeared under the guise of the UN sponsored Global Forum on Migration and Development. Like the modern day professional politician it is unlikely that career bureaucrats like himself has spent any quality time in the real world of the people who suffer the consequences of what they impose.
In the minds of Sutherland and the global elite, all the problematic conditions that resulted in conflict and two world wars stemmed from the hegemony of what used to be known in leftist circles as the WASP. The White Anglo Saxon Protestant.
The usual buzzwords such as imperialism, colonialism, nationalism, inequality and the like would all be laid at the door of the WASP.
WASP morphed into a catch-all term that was used to describe all people that were white with a Judaeo-Christian heritage.
With the growing influence and power of the UN came the global super bureaucrat of which Peter Sutherland is the latest manifestation. What started as a noble effort by the worlds nations to take action in preventing wars, the UN has effectively abandoned this noble cause and now sees itself as the world government.
What we are seeing today is the ongoing UN project to re-order the post war world according to their vision alone, excluding everyone from outside their exclusive circle.
'Un-homogenising' as they like to call it consists of replacing the traditional ways of life in WASP dominated cultures with so called 'multi-cultural societies'.
It has already been achieved in South Africa and Zimbabwe with disastrous consequences, and it is well advanced in the Anglosphere. It is currently being imposed in Europe with equally disastrous consequences.
With two years left of his final term, President Obama is determined to finish 'fundamentally transforming' America by destroying the WASP dominated heritage of the American people. He is doing this with all the intensity of a scorched earth policy.
The borders are deliberately left open, illegal immigration is actively encouraged with amnesty and citizenship the ultimate reward.
From five to possibly eleven million new non WASP citizens is transformational in the extreme.
Professional politicians and career bureaucrats spend their lives in each others company only, interacting with like minded people who can comprehend a particular theory, a political philosophy, a policy and nothing else.
Consequently they know nothing about the real world inhabited by real people who will suffer the practical reality of what they impose.
If they do understand the practical reality of what they impose then obviously they don't care, the re-ordering of global society is all that matters.
The ending of white rule in South Africa and Zimbabwe was the aim of the UN regardless of the disastrous consequences they knew would befall the people.
The fact that the so called multi-cultural 'Rainbow Nation' has descended into a hellhole of tribalism, poverty, starvation, violence, rape and murder is of no consequence to people like Sutherland and the political elite. As long as the project to end white rule is achieved then all's well that ends well.
Likewise in Zimbabwe with the installation of 'Butcher' Bob Mugabe, the UN's favourite Marxist dictator. The country together with its industries, its economy and its peace has been totally and brutally destroyed but that's ok just so long as the white man is no longer in charge.
Civilisation in South Africa and Zimbabwe has not been advanced by UN action but diminished.
The chosen method for 'undermining national homogeity' in Europe is to impose mythical multi-cultural societies via open border mass immigration combined with rigidly policed political correctness and anti-idigenate laws.
Some laws such as hate crime laws, equality laws, animal cruelty laws and child protection laws are selective, applying to indigenes only.
Since it is practically impossible to raise living and cultural standards in some parts of the world up to WASP levels, Sutherland and the global elite are imposing financial and cultural equality by:
a) Redistributing wealth by a combination of foreign and development aid.
b) Transferring manufacturing industries and technology to the third world via the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).
c) Redistributing wealth using the government sponsored perversion of science know as Man Made Global Warming. Since there hasn't been any for two decades they have shamelessly renamed it 'Combating Climate Change' and carried on redistributing taxpayers money regardless.
d) Instigating a cultural and demographic replacement policy by encouraging open border mass immigration from backward, incompatible cultures. These cultures are encouraged not to integrate while the indigenous population are cohersed into accepting them, together with some of their barbaric practices, under threat of prosecution.
With the 'un-homogenising' of Great Britain being the prime objective - as opposed to the wellbeing of the people - Peter Sutherland and the global elite will not be the slightest bit concerned that their so called 'multi-cultural society' consists of thousands of mono-cultural, violent, crime ridden, welfare financed ghettos that are unrecognisable as being British.
As is the case in Southern Africa, British society along with its benign way of life has been downgraded and diminished so that career politicians and agenda driven professional bureaucrats can feel self satisfied that their 'progressive' re-ordering of the world is being achieved regardless of the cost to civilized standards.

Racism Can Be White or Black
By Alan
Caruba
On Monday, Nov 17, the Governor of
Missouri activated its National Guard “to support law enforcement during any
period of unrest that might occur following the grand jury’s decision concerning
the investigation into the death of Michael Brown.” He declared a state of
emergency.
A grand jury verdict that is likely
to exonerate officer Darren Wilson is assumed to require significant law
enforcement because in
August we witnessed the initial weeks of rioting, looting and arson in what has
been described by police authorities as an organized effort.
When the subject of racism occurs, it
is always in terms of white racism and rarely, if ever, discussed in terms of
black racism.
However, racism is a two-way street
and while the ill treatment African-Americans encountered as slaves and for a
century thereafter before the Civil Rights Act in 1964 is surely cause for
resentment the fact remains that black Americans have had fifty years, two generations, of opportunity and
equality intended to redress the past.
What white Americans find it difficult
to understand is why there are protests at this point. Don’t the lives of blacks
who have been killed, as often as not by other blacks, have value too?
Why doesn’t the fact that the nation
has a black President, a black Attorney General, a black Supreme Court justice,
blacks in Congress, and ample evidence of the progress the black community has
made since the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed seem to make any
difference?
The events in Ferguson are well known
by now. Video confirmed that Michael Brown stole some cigarillos at the Ferguson
Market and Liquors on August 9th and when one of the staff protested,
he was threatened in a menacing manner by Brown, a very large young man.
The theft was swiftly reported to the
police with a description that fit Brown. Not long after, Officer Wilson,
driving alone, spoke to Brown and a companion, telling them to move away from
the center of West Florissant Avenue. At that point Brown began to scuffle with
Wilson and forensic evidence showed that Wilson’s gun was fired twice in the
police car during the struggle. Brown allegedly punched him repeatedly, leaving
a swelling on his face. He attacked a
police officer.
Wilson went after Brown to arrest him
and when Brown turned on him he was shot six times. Reportedly, six black
witnesses to the incident confirmed Officer Wilson’s account. The autopsy is
said to have showed evidence of marijuana in Brown’s system. Brown was not
armed, but his size and the assault on Officer Wilson constituted a threat to
Wilson’s life.
What followed were weeks of
demonstrations that quickly escalated in force, in arson and looting in addition
to the confrontations between the protesters and the police. Missouri Governor
Jay Nixon deployed the National Guard to help quell the disturbances. In October
the Ferguson Police Department handed over responsibility to the county police
department which is larger and better equipped. At this point, all of the police
who were called upon had protective gear and an arsenal of means to quell a
riot.
Why did the shooting evoke such a
reaction? Why did those involved in the demonstrations assume it was more than a
white cop versus black suspect situation? The assumption among the protesters is
that a white police officer had shot Brown for no reason other than racism.
Blacks (and whites) who commit crimes
or who are suspected of doing so and who are seen to pose a lethal threat are
killed by police during the course of any year. However, statistically blacks
are more involved in crime, from minor to major, than whites. According to the NAACP,
“African Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites.”
This is blamed on poverty, poor education, and other factors, but America has
had wave after wave of immigrants come here, work hard, enter the middle class,
and rise to success.
It is worth noting that the Ferguson
police force has few blacks in its ranks. Of its 53 members, only three are
black. Why? Is there something about being a police officer that is unappealing
to blacks in Ferguson? This is a useful question given the fact that 67% of
Ferguson’s residents are black.
Maybe we can just blame the
demonstrations, the burning and looting of businesses on the fact that among the
most dangerous U.S. cities, the Huffington Post just listed St. Louis as number
four, dropping down from being number three last year. “The city has the highest
murder rate of any locale in the top five, with 38 murders per 100,000 people.
Its overall violent crime rate is 1,594 violent crimes per 100,000 people.”
Ferguson is a suburb of St. Louis, a city whose population is nearly half black.
The “demonstrators” and “protesters”
in Ferguson are a disgrace. They have put hard working, law abiding blacks at
risk of being lumped in with their behavior. That, regrettably, is how racism
works.
If, however, you want to exploit the
incident, you send the U.S. Attorney General to Ferguson to stir up the black
racism that exists and you have the Department of Justice conduct both civil and
criminal investigations.
If you want to exploit the incident, you have the Attorney General participate in planting a tree last Monday in the memory of Emmett Till, a teenager who was murdered in 1955 by white bigots and have him speak of young black men "who died senselessly," but Michael Brown died as the result of an assault on a police officer.

The grand jury has conducted its
investigation and will likely find that a police officer lawfully defended
himself against a young thug. That’s how our legal system works. And black
racism is every bit as bad as white racism.

Where Is The GOP Response?
You know, if the GOP had
leadership that was ready, willing, and able to stand up to Obama on
immigration I wouldn’t have to do this. Why is it that the only people in the
world that are afraid to stand up to Barack Obama are in the Republican ‘leadership’?
When Obama announced his executive actions on immigration, he challenged the
GOP to send him a bill. Following that, in remarks at a High School in Nevada, he
mocked the GOP by saying “Why, I didn’t dissolve Parliament, that’s not how
our system works”. So far the best response we’ve heard from what passes for
GOP leadership is ‘we’re gonna fight this, you betcha’, or something to that
effect. Perhaps the most disturbing thing I’ve heard is a
claim by Rep. Michelle Bachman that the GOP leadership has indicated
privately that they are “not going to engage” Obama on this issue. Since the
GOP leadership cannot manage a response to the President, I guess I’ll have to
do it myself. (continue reading)

Iran Will Negotiate Until It Becomes a Nuclear Power
By Alan Caruba
Monday, November 24, is the deadline
for the negotiations between Iran and the United States, Britain, France,
Germany, Russia and China regarding its program to build its own nuclear weapons
to conclude. At this writing, whether the negotiations will be extended or not
is unknown, but it seems unlikely.
President Obama has been obsessed with
Iran, seeking to change its hostility by finding an answer to the problem its
nuclear weapon program represents. That is typical of his “magical thinking”
whereby something he wants is automatically assumed to be accessible. In the
case of Iran, it has been hostile to the U.S. since its revolution in 1979 and
remains so today.
Iran has cause. As Marin Katusa, a
leading energy investor, explains in his book, “The Colder War”, the U.S. was
instrumental in overthrowing Mohammad Mosaddegh, an Iranian prime minister who
set about nationalizing its oil industry. The U.S. stagied a coup in 1953 and
reinstated the pro-U.S. shah. “Post-coup, the shah grew increasingly
authoritarian and, in 1979, the Iranian revolution forced him to
flee.”
Katusa reports what followed: “The
U.S. government judged it futile to try to reinstate a pro-Western regime. So it
turned its back on the shah and encouraged an invasion of Iran by Iraq. Saddam
Hussein, the secular Iraqi dictator, went to war against his neighbor, supported
by money and weapons courtesy of the United States.” The war last eight futile
years and cost both nations hundreds of thousands of lives. No need to wonder
why Iran hates and distrusts the U.S.
The essential problem of a nuclear
Iran is that it has been an extremely aggressive nation since 1979. Iran is
widely regarded as the primary supporter of terror in the Middle East. It
sponsors two Palestinian organizations, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
Iran’s support for bombings and other acts of terror would fill a
book.
Even if the current negotiations come
to an end, Iran still has friends. Two of the nations involved in the
negotiations are an example. Iran is allied with Russia in supporting the civil
war to overthrow Syria’s Assad regime. China is a major customer for Iran’s oil.
“Though Iran may be isolated from the
United States and Western Europe,” says Katusa, “Tehran still has allies.
Venezuela has advanced $4 billion for joint projects, including a bank. India
has pledged to continue buying Iran oil…Greece opposed the European Union
sanctions because Iran was one of very few suppliers willing to sell oil to the
bankrupt Greeks on credit…South Korea and Japan are pleading with the United
States for exemptions (to the sanctions) because of their reliance on Iranian
oil.”
“Economic ties between Russia and Iran
have gotten stronger every year since Putin became president in 1999,” notes
Katusa. “Finally, there’s China. Iran’s energy resources are a matter of
national security for China, as Iran supplies 15 percent of China’s oil and
natural gas.”
Writing in The Washington Times on
November 19, Clifford D. May, president of the Foundation for Defense of
Democracies, took note of the November 24 conclusion date for the negotiations
and asked, “What are the odds they will end with Iran’s rulers agreeing to
verifiably dismantle their illicit nuclear weapons program? I’d wager 100 to one
against that outcome, but I doubt I’d find a bookie willing to take my
bet.”
May suggested that there may be “a
‘framework agreement’, a statement of principles that will be the subject of
another round of talks. Such a deal could include another sweetener, e.g.,
billions of dollars of additional sanctions relief for Iran.”
If the U.S. and co-negotiators arrive
at a deal that allows Iran to become a nuclear power it will lose the trust of
important Middle Eastern nations such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates who already feel threatened by Iran.
Ultimately it does not matter how long
the negotiations continue or not. Only one man in Iran will decide how they end
and that is the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and there is no
indication he wants anything less than Iran’s ability to manufacture its own
nuclear weapons to put on its missiles or as bombs. Among Iran’s neighbors are
Russia, China, India and Pakistan, all of whom have nuclear weapons. Israel too.
The Iranians have been negotiating a
very long time and a recent statement by an Iranian official sums up what they
have been saying for years. “We need more time to resolve technical issues and
don’t forget that the time frame for lifting sanctions is still a huge dispute.”
The longer they negotiate, the closer they get to having the nuclear weapons
they want.
If the negotiations continue, it will
be because the negotiators have once again caved into Iran and there will be no
surprise about that. The real surprise will be the announcement that Iran has
tested a nuclear weapon and, in the end, that should not be a
surprise.
