REFLECTIONS

It is a reawaking that this is a strong vibrant country that welcomes and will publicly debate and allow presentation of competing policy positions. Protesting at a national political party convention is one form of expression. Of course we cannot allow property damage and violence because that protects the rights of individual.
FREE SPEECH IS NEVER HANDED TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT AND GRAB IT-trb
*****

IT IS A WONDROUS THING TO WATCH THE VOTERS TAKE BACK AMERICA FROM THE RIGHT WING INTEREST THAT HAVE SUBJECTED US FOR SO LONG.

Thousands of protesters are expected to jam the streets of Denver and St. Paul at the Republican and Democratic conventions in a noisy counterpoint to the parties' carefully scripted speeches.[1]This is what a convention is about. The political parties as a living breathing entity only exist at Convention.[trb]

REGULAR CITIZENS WILL INSIST ON HAVING THEIR SAY AT CONVENTION

In St. Paul, where http://www.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/johnmccainJohn McCain will accept the Republican nomination early next month, anti-war and anti-abortion activists could be joined in the streets by off-duty cops picketing for higher pay, while self-described anarchists aim to paralyze the city.[1] Anarchist another right wing media word to confuse us. Do not be confused. In this country, you ,I , and they have a right to voice our opinions through protest anytime we want.[trb]

THE ANARCHIST ARE REALLY THE INDEPENDANTS EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

The candidates are in a dead heat among independent voters - - one-third of the electorate -- with 12 percent favoring Obama, 11 percent backing McCain and 10 percent undecided, according to the poll. [4]

ANOTHER CITY WITH HYSTERICAL COUNCIL PEOPLE.

In Denver, where http://www.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/barackobama Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination later this month, the City Council recently outlawed the possession of "noxious substances" after a councilman warned that activists could use buckets of urine or feces against police.[1]

ONE MANS WASTE IS ANOTHER MANS GOOD POLICY

Activists say their plans don't involve human waste.[1]

THIS ORDINANCE SHOULD BE FLUSHED

"The intent of this ordinance is to smear protesters and make them appear as if they're somehow criminal," organizer Glenn Spagnuolo said at a recent council hearing [1]

DA........
U.S. presidential nominating conventions historically have drawn activists of every stripe who hope to confront the political establishment and elbow their way into the media spotlight. The 2004 Republican convention in New York attracted more than 100,000 demonstrators.[1]

WHAT A GREAT MONTH TO BE AN AMERICAN
The FBI officials in each city said they are unaware of any specific, credible security threats this year. The street protests are expected to be largely peaceful, though the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota expects 800 arrests in St. Paul, most for minor infractions during an anti-war march that could draw between 30,000 and 60,000.[1] The voters are taking this country back.[trb]
Still, they will pose an additional challenge for security officials who will also have to protect senators, governors, President George W. Bush and thousands of other political bigwigs, along with the actual nominees for the November election.[1]
St. Paul's 600-member police force will swell to 3,500 for the convention, police spokesman Tom Walsh said. Denver's police force of 1,400 will also receive reinforcements from around the region. Both cities have received $50 million each in federal funds to pay for overtime, training and equipment like surveillance cameras.[1]
Federal agencies have been planning for the events since 2007, Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said.[1]
The Secret Service won't have a problem securing Invesco Field, the open-air football stadium where Obama will accept the nomination, Wiley said, as the agency handled Pope Benedict's two April masses at baseball fields in New York and Washington, as well as Bush's appearances at baseball games.[1]
"Whereas it's a new venue it's not a new challenge for us," Wiley said.[1]

NOW HERE IS THE REAL WANNABEE ANARCHIST
The plan, dubbed "John McCain and American Innovation," is set to be released Thursday on the Republican presidential candidate's campaign Web site. It will call for a 10% tax credit on wages paid to all research-and-development employees. At the same time, it will reiterate Sen. McCain's opposition to Internet taxes and new laws guaranteeing net neutrality, the idea that Internet providers must treat all legal Internet traffic equally.[2]
At a fund-raise for Sen. Barack Obama, recently in Boston, Mass., Sen. John Kerry had some harsh words for Sen. John McCain. "The bottom line is, this administration has moved towards Barack Abomey�s positions. John McCain is still stuck on the low road express," Kerry said, referring to U.S. policy shifts regarding Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea. "He doesn�t get it," Kerry said of McCain. "He�s even dangerous, I think, for the direction of this country."[5]

NOW HERE ARE THE HAS BEEN ANARCHIST
Pastor Rick Warren is hosting a town hall meeting with both John McCain and Barack Obama this Saturday night. It should be pretty compelling TV. There's been lots in the media in recent months about how Evangelicals, the most reliable bloc in the Republican coalition, are breaking up, with many of them moving toward Barack Obama.....http://www.getreligion.org/?p=3722 [3]

NOW HERE IS A REAL LEADER

Sen. Obama's plan, released last year, emphasized issues important to organized labor and Democratic activists, such as pressing for media-ownership diversity, ensuring an open Internet and encouraging affordable Internet access.[2]

AIRSPACE RESTRICTED [1]
Airspace around Denver will be restricted and the interstate that runs by the stadium may be closed, he said.[1]
Others see possible problems.[1]

CHARLIE BROWN...HE�S A CLOWN..ANOTHER ANARCHIST ELBOWING INTO MEDIA ATTENTION
"It could be a real nightmare to get 76,000 people into Invesco Field," said Denver City Council member Charlie Brown. "Do we close the interstate or will the protesters? That's a very big issue."[1]

FREE SPEECH IS NEVER HANDED TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT AND GRAB IT
Protest organizers have also been sparring in court with local officials over when and where they'll be able to rally. Both cities have laid out march routes and designated "free speech zones" near the convention halls, and both cities will provide a stage and sound system for protesters.[1]
But some have vowed to ignore these restrictions.[1]

HERE�S THAT BIG WORD AGAIN
In St. Paul, a self-described anarchist group dubbed the RBC Welcoming Committee aims to blockade downtown St. Paul and bridges and disrupt transportation shuttles.[1]
In Denver, anarchist groups plan to target fund-raisers and hotels where Democratic delegates are staying.[1]

VIOLENCE CANNOT BE TOLERATED!
Groups espousing similar tactics have managed to wreak havoc at other events, most notably the 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle, where protesters smashed store windows, set fires and caused an estimated $2 million in property damage.[1]
"These noises do need to be taken seriously," said Norm Stamper, Seattle's police chief at the time.[1]

A CONSERVATIVE DEFINITION OF AND ANARCHIST IS , LIBERAL
"If you identify the anarchists early and they engage in criminal behavior, snatch them up right now," he said. "The further you delay the more damage they can do to the process of legitimate protest."[1]

YOU HAVE TO BREAK A COUPLE EGGS BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE AN OMELET
I attended the The genesee County Progresive Democrats, FLINT MI USA, meeting 12/12/08. The groups guest was Mark Brewer, Democratric State Party Chairperson.

HE SPOKE STRONGLY AND WITH CONVICTION.

It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs. Albert Einstein 1879-1955 from" Treasury for the Free World" 1946

This is the man who derailed Michigans Delegate selections Election and to some disenfranchising 500,000 Michigan voters. He appeared pitching the Reform Michigan Now Ballot initiative in which he said. "We" have enough signatures unless the courts stop us , which they are trying .[WE] will be on the ballot. This ballot question will split the democrats , unless we act, and cause the Republicans to go to the polls who may not have because McCain Is such a piece of crap.. Brewer will survive...Mark must have played baseball and longed to be a coach.

"The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided. " Casey Stengle 1890-1975

WHAT IF THIS IS TRUE? THE WORLD CANNOT FEED ITS POPULATION!
REFLECTIONS:

What if it were true that the world cannot feed its population? History shows this is not a problem unique to today. But if true and its world wide the stakes are much higher. What if Globalization is followed by a return to Economic Localization? What if it is true that throughout human history food collection was a primary societal organizational objective? Well, we cannot feed our world population much less the new number 10 years from now. Globalization as an organizing economic theory will collapse when populations are starving. We want to eat before we" text message". Our economic organizing principals, in emergening localization, will change but really only return that tried and true paradigm... we will to anything to survive. We must eat to survive. This paradigm shift has already begun world wide and in America. We are running out of time to avoid famine.


I looked to what is happening now in the world , The Sudan ,to understand what may happen to America in 10 years. My thoughts , observations and question, follow:

1. THE RICH WILL RAID THE LAND RESOURCES OF THE POOR, PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES.

2.WHY DO WE HAVE A CRISIS? IT BASED ON ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION OVER PEOPLE�S LIVES?

3.BIG MONEY WILL GRAVITATE TO BIG FARMING

4.BIG MONEY WILL FEED THE WORLD MARKET AND LET THE HOST COUNTRY STARVE.

5. WE MUST CAUSE A MASSIVE INCREASE IN FOOD PRODUCTION.

6.LIKE THE INHABITANTS OF A RESORT ISLAND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL THE FOOD HAS TO BE IMPORTED?WE BECOME ECONOMICLY VULNERABLE.

7.THERE IS A FUTURE IN AGRIBUSINESS FOR THE NEW GRADUATES

8.WE FEED THEIR POOR ,THERE RICH FEED THE WORLD.

9.CORPORATIONS BECOME IMMORAL... HEARD THAT BEFORE REGIMES BECOME PARASITIC AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

10.STARVATION BECOMES PART OF PLANNED GENOCIDE, JUST TOO MANY OF ....THEM.

11.HOW MANY CHILDREN WILL DIE, GREAT NATIONS STAY SILENT BREADBASKET OR PROFIT CENTERS...

12.WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF FARMING?

13.THE HUNGRY AT ONE TIME ATE THEIR BELTS AND SHOES NOW THEY EAT MUD IN HAITI.

14.GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WILL DENY THEIR PLUNDERING.

15.THE GOOD, ( AMERICANS STAND SILENT), THE BAD (SUDANES CREATE A NEW FOOD HOLOCAUST),THE UGLY WORLD ( CHILDREN STARVE AS THE WORLD WRENCHES ITS HANDS).

16.THE SUDANESE ARE NOT THE ONLY POOR BEING PLUNDERED.

17.TIME OUTS, ALLOWANCE TAKEN AWAY OR WILL THEY BE GROUNDED, JUST WHAT WILL THESE SANCTIONS BE?

18.BAD POLICY, BAD RESULTS

19.WE WANT TO SELL THEM OUR STUFF RATHER THAN GIVEN THEM AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BUY FROM THEIR OWN FARMERS AND GROW THEIR OWN PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES.

20.SUDANESE OFFICIALS GET MONEY ,ARABS GET FOOD, OIL MONEY AT WORK.

21.WE ARE MANY AND THEY ARE FEW, BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE FEW AND THEY ARE MANY?

We must ,as a country, get on a 12 step program to end our dependency on oil. Not being able to meet our energy needs as a country is one of the most dangerous and urgent threats this nation has ever faced."After one president, Bush, as stayed in the pocket of big oil, we can’t afford another, McCain is just another Bush he cannot be trusted. Obama’s windfall profits tax on big oil will give families a $1,000 rebate. A president who’ll stand up for you. Big Business will be held accountable. Obama is now putting together his coalition to tackle this countries energy needs . Will you be part of it. Obama also backs a policy to get Americans into ultra efficient cars. Our energy crisis is too urgent to allow partisan bickering. We must adopt a responsible but aggressive set of policies to get our country on the right track. We must set as a priority getting new energy from renewable sources.[trb 08/04/08]

We are seeing big money fall behind wind turbine initiatives. Big money usually relies on big research and can defend their positions with a multitude of studies, as now with T.Boone Pickens and his wind tunnel initiatives. What is his motivation? Profit of course. He desires to affect public policy to benefit his natural gas .Pickens has posted his plan on line, spoken to Congress and putting millions of his own money behind referendums in California and lobbying Congress. Why we do not have more solar power and wind turbines? Is it the fault of our elected officials ,in both parties., A new public grid should be built and if government is not up to the challenge, let it be private. There is room for us in Michigan. To build wind turbines, look for areas of consistent wind. Our governments State, and Federal should get behind the idea of a new electric grid or get out of the way. Congress should declare an energy emergency and focus on our energy problems.

MCCAIN DOES NOT GET HIS VOTING VOUCHER FROM NAACP NOR AFL-CIO

*****Reflection:McCain was denied his Presidential voucher from the NAACP that spokeloudly to protect public education. Obama is expected to get 94% ofthe black vote and a majopirty of the rest of us is just right forAmerica on all issues. Now even establish Republican are turning toObama.Why : Unjustified war and unconstitutional abridgment of individualrights vs. ill-conceived tax and economic policies - this is thedifference between venial and mortal sins.Taxes, economic policy andhealth care reform matter, preserve our individual rights whiledealing with real foreign threats - these are of greaterimportance.Even McCain is supportive of Obama McCain said:"He'sinspired a great many Americans, some of whom have wrongly believedthat a political campaign could hold no purpose or meaning for them.This success should make Americans, all Americans, proud. Of course,I would prefer his success not to continue quite as long as he hopes,but it does make you and me proud to know the country I've loved andserved all my life, still a work in progress and always improving.

DEMOCRATS ARGUE, KEEP PUBLIC EDUCATION ALIVE
Republicans have made vouchers a linchpin of their education overhaulinitiatives. Democrats have steadfastly refused, saying it would takevital dollars out of the public school system.[2]While McCain received some applause earlier Wednesday about hissupport of school vouchers, members of the labor union disagreed. [1]

NAACP IS OBAMA TURF, ANTI VOUCHER IS HIS ISSUEDavid Bositis, who studies black voting patterns at the Joint Centerfor Social and Economic Studies, says black support for Obama islikely to exceed even the 94% that President Lyndon Johnson receivedin 1964."I fully expect black turnout to be in record territory justabout everywhere," Bositis says.[3]

MANY SPOKE OUT TO SAY PUBLIC MONEY SHOULD GO TO PUBLIC EDUCATIONThe union, which has endorsed Senator Barack Obama, says allgovernment funding should go to simply public education, notvouchers. [1]Sen. Barack Obama says the GOP has talked and talked about vouchers,and it hasn't amounted to much more.[2]Obama's opposition is right along the lines of the National EducationAssociation, and the teachers union is a reliable and powerfulDemocratic ally.

**** REFLECTION OF THE WEEK:
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE COURT SYSTEM TO DISPENSE JUSTICE. The role of the Prosecutor is to bring people to court to allow the court to dispense justice. The role of the Sheriff is to hold people for court. And when sentenced to impose the justice the court ordered. The Sheriffs or the Prosecutors role is not to dispense justice. Some of us remember the perp walks of Anthony and Pritcher. I am not defending either one but only question why were they taken into district court in shackles with the press notifed ahead of time and the Sheriff and Prosecutor both present. The average person will say great. But in each case private attorney's were negotiating the entry into court. The Sheriff and Prosecutor decided to handle the high profile case differently.Here Mengesha has a private attorney negotiating his return to district court. He was arrested at the airport. Why? If he is given a humiliating perp walk and the yells of support fade away ask why? Were the Prosecutor and Sheriff disposing justice unique to the situation ? Or was it called for?-trb]

I AM NOT DEFENDING MENGESHA IN ANY WAY, ONLY QUESTIONING THE PROCESS. ****

Democrats take Obama shift in stride [1]

DEMOCRATS RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE TO BUILD A COALITION BEYOND A NARROW THREAD OF THE PARTY TO RUN THE COUNTRY. A REALITY THAT ESCAPES THE REPUBLICANS

As Barack Obama moves to broaden his appeal beyond loyal Democrats, a chorus of anger and disappointment has arisen from the left. But those voices are a distinct minority because the party has a more pressing concern: winning in November. [1]   Read More »

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS CAUSED POLITICAL CENSORSHIP TO THWART ACTION OF THE EPA AND THE RULE OF LAW AS DEFINED BY THE UNITED STATE SUPREME COURT, TO KEEP US FROM KNOWING THE TRUE HARM OF GLOBAL WARMING.CHENEY IS LEAVING AS HE ARRIVED[7]

In the early days of the Bush presidency, Vice President Dick Cheney came under attack for drafting a national energy policy in secret. Now, as the Bush presidency winds down, Cheney is again coming under attack for his behind-the-scenes efforts to play down the threats of global warming in order to thwart regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.

"The world faces three simultaneous crises - a food crisis, a climate crisis and a development crisis," [1] In the turmoil of our current world economic crisis we still have under developed contries needing the basics in aid to develop infrastructure and educate their people.[trb]The G8 has been looked to for help from these still developing African nations with disappointment.[trb]

Aid groups accused some of the G8 nations -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States -- of walking away from earlier commitments.[2]With the hardship facing the G8 its no wonder Africa is paid les sattention. But we are in this world together Globalization brings the countries in poverty to our door step.[trb]
People wonder why African nations are skeptical about the on-going G8 Summit on the Japanese Island of Hokkaido. Well, three years after the promises made at the Gleneagles summit in Scotland there is still little to show that the �Make Poverty History� rallying call was not just a mirage.It was bound to be.[6]
