IN A CRUEL AND CRAZY WORLD, ONE GOOD MAN SPEAKS SIMPLE TRUTH


(image source; Facebook/Shlomoh Melech [Tim McMillan])
(image source; Facebook/Shlomoh Melech [Tim McMillan])
Tim McMillan, a police officer from New Hampshire, caught a young teen texting and driving, but it was the teen's reaction that truly upset him.
Tim shared his story on Facebook,
I pulled a car over last night for texting and driving. When I went to talk to the driver, I found a young black male, who was looking at me like he was absolutely terrified with his hands up. He said, "What do you want me to do officer?" His voice was quivering. He was genuinely scared.
I just looked at him for a moment, because what I was seeing made me sad. I said, "I just don't want you to get hurt."
In which he replied, with his voice still shaking, "Do you want me to get out of the car."
I said, "No, I don't want you to text and drive. I don't want you to get in a wreck. I want your mom to always have her baby boy. I want you to grow up and be somebody. I don't even want to write you a ticket. Just please pay attention, and put the phone down. I just don't want you to get hurt."
I truly don't even care who's fault it is that young man was so scared to have a police officer at his window. Blame the media, blame bad cops, blame protestors, or Colin Kaepernick if you want.
It doesn't matter to me who's to blame. I just wish somebody would fix it.
Tim's story immediately went viral with more than 140,000 shares. With thousands of people sending him their support, Time decided it was time to include a followup statement,
The last couple of days have been a roller coaster of emotion. I've hurt for those I care about in their time of unimaginable pain. I've been overwhelmed with the joy at being able to help a scared little kid get to his Mom, when he needed her.
Then this morning, I felt frustration and sadness at seeing a young African American kid be terrified of the uniform I was wearing. It bothered me so much, I wanted to just scream at the whole country, 'STOP IT! I LOVE MY KIDS WITH ALL… OF MY HEART AND EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD IS SOMEONES CHILD THAT THEY LOVE WITH ALL THEIR HEART!
Just treat everyone like you would want your children treated, NO MATTER what the situation is.
Everyone was thanking me for what I had said, that it so many people just wanted to hear someone say "IT'S HORRIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO BE AFRAID OF THE POLICE, and I don't even care who's at fault. It's just horrible!" I had over 100 friends request from people all over the country. And now, I don't even know what to say.
I'm not anyone special. I'm not a professional athlete, politician, or celebrity.
I'm just a regular guy, who lives paycheck to paycheck, who is so blessed to have an amazing wife and some incredible children I love with all of my heart. I'm lucky to have amazing friends, mentors, and family members in my life.
Again, I don't even know what to say. I'm just a regular person, no better than anyone else. To think that just saying how the situation in this country hurt me from a view on the front lines, could have such meaning to so many people, is so touching, I don't know how to put it in words.

CAT COLLARS, HORSE BITS CAN CAUSE PAINFUL INJURIES.


Kitten in Not e.V.Aus aktuellem Anlass:
Wir beobachten immer wieder Personen, die ihren Katzen ein Halsband aus diversen Gründen anziehen.
Leider ist es mit Halsbändern so, dass ...


We see cats wearing collars and necklaces.
Unfortunately, the alleged "security closures" do not always open independently. 

The animals stay in branches and bushes. The collars can easily get tangled and leave a cat hanging by the throat where it can strangle in panic and die in agony. There are many missing cats found dead, hanging from branches.

It continues to happen. We can see the results in the photo. The animal was caught and severely injured by the collar. In this photo we can see the cat was trying to get out of the collar. The collar cut into the cat's flesh. It can go so far that the leg has to be amputated - if the cat survives.

Cats with only three legs can't run fast enough crossing a street and they may even be killed trying to outrun a car.

A collar on a cat is like a bit in a horse's mouth. We see people riding horses and we never stop to think how painful it is for a horse to have a big metal bit deep in his mouth, near his throat. It is an agony no one ever notices or speaks about.

Bells are dangerous and unhealthy for cats - and horses too. Ears are so sensitive. The constant ringing prevents the important safe orientation of cats. Can you imagine a bell hanging from your own neck, constantly ringing in your ears?

Cats are "belled" with the intention of warning birds that a cat is coming. But this is a myth. Healthy birds are also killed by cats, but the writer of the original text here believes that cats catch birds who are already unhealthy and debilitated.

A collar does not protect a cat from being stolen. A chip and / or a tattoo can't be removed.

It's about the health and life of your cat.

    I HAVE EDITED THE TEXT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS COMPLETELY INCOHERENT.

    I WOULD NEVER LET MY CAT GO OUTDOORS WITHOUT A HARNESS AND ME HOLDING THE LEASH. CATS ARE NATURAL PREDATORS AND URBAN LIFE IS HAZARDOUS. IF YOU WANT A CAT TO LOVE, KEEP IT AT HOME. SO MANY CATS SUFFER HORRIBLE INJURIES OUTDOORS. MY BEST FRIEND'S CAT CAME HOME WITH HIS LEG SO BADLY MANGLED, IT HAD TO BE AMPUTATED.

CHINESE AND CANADIAN MINING INDUSTRIES ARE KILLING PEOPLE


STANDING ON SACRED GROUND:

WATCH THIS SERIES. SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT MINING COMPANIES FROM CHINA ARE ACTUALLY DOING TO SACRED LANDS AND THE WATERS AND THE FISH AND THE NATIVE PEOPLE OF PAPUA, NEW GUINEA.

IN PAPUA, NEW GUINEA THE PEOPLE WERE FORCED OUT OF THEIR HOMES BY POLICE, THEIR HOMELAND OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS STOLEN FROM THEM BY MEN FROM CHINA.

WE SEE FISH WITH UGLY DEFORMITIES AND LARGE TUMORS, BEAUTIFUL BLUE WATERS ARE BEING CONTAMINATED WITH MERCURY AND OTHER TOXIC MINERALS. THE RIVERS ARE FULL OF BROWN SLUDGE. LIFE IN THE DEEPEST WATERS IS DYING.

GREAT SWATHES OF TALL, LUSH, TREES ARE DESTROYED AND HUGE AREAS OF LAND ARE BROWN AND DEAD, BEREFT OF GRASS, BIRD AND ANIMAL LIFE.

SO MANY HEALTHY PEOPLE ARE SUDDENLY DYING OF VIRULENT CANCERS. PARADISE LOST TO GREED.

AT THE SAME TIME, CANADA'S TAR SANDS INDUSTRY IS DESTROYING SACRED LAND AND WATER IN ALBERTA AND BEYOND. THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT, IN CAHOOTS WITH THE OIL INDUSTRY, RIDS ITSELF OF THEIR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS.

THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, JUSTIN TRUDEAU, PRIDES HIMSELF ON MAKING FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES IN THE U.S.A. AS HE SELLS OUT THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLES.

IN THE U.S.A. PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIES TO SILENCE ENVIRONMENTALISTS. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO INTERFERE WITH THE BUSINESS OF THE CANADIAN TAR SANDS, NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS TO ANIMAL AND HUMAN LIFE.

THE MINING COMPANIES AND THE BANKS AND THE POLITICIANS ARE PROFITING FROM ALL THE SUFFERING AND DEATH.

AS CHRISTIANS AND JEWS AND DECENT PEOPLE, DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LET THIS CONTINUE BY REMAINING SILENT?

MUTILATING GIRL'S GENITALS - A SADISTIC CRIME


IF YOU WOULD NOT APPROVE OF MURDERING CHILDREN, YOU CANNOT APPROVE OF THIS DISGUSTING, SADISTIC, AGONIZING PRACTICE. THIS IS A CRIME. A TERRIBLE CRIME AND IT SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SERIOUS CRIME.

IN AMERICA, SUCH ATROCITIES HAVE BEEN PERMITTED BECAUSE THERE IS "NO LIMIT TO FREEDOM OF RELIGION". UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION, YOU COULD SACRIFICE BABIES IN A FIRE.

AMERICA - BIGOTRY IS AN EVERYDAY BURDEN FOR PEOPLE OF COLOUR


Being white, we may not notice that people with dark skins are insulted and abused every day as they try to live normal lives in America. I think most white people are unaware of how deeply it hurts children when someone insults and abuses their parents. It serves as a justification - for some - to grow up hating Caucasians.

AMERICAN CONSTITUTION'S FIRST AMENDMENT COULD BE DANGEROUS


THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION'S FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS THE "FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION" THERE IS "NO PROHIBITION ON THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION." IF INTERPRETED BY RELIGIOUS FANATICS, THIS COULD ALLOW FOR ANIMAL AND HUMAN SACRIFICE

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, ensuring that there is no prohibition on the free exercise of religion,abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble, or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.

DONALD TRUMP TARGETED BY WANTED MAN



Rock County Sheriff's Office also released a photo of Joseph A. Jakubowski taken April 4, 2017 at the Mobil Gas Station in Janesville, Wisconsin.
 

Wisconsin authorities and the FBI have expanded their urgent search for an "extremely dangerous" suspect who they say robbed a gun store, stealing at least 16 weapons, and who may be plotting an act of mass violence with his eye on President Trump.
 
"Basically, he's angry at all government officials," Rock County Sheriff Robert Spoden said at a news conference today. "You know, whether it's the president or local officials or whether it's law enforcement. He basically has a dislike for anyone that has authority or governmental power.
 
"We consider him to be armed and highly dangerous."
 
Manhunt intensifies for gunman in ambush killing of Texas deputy constable
 
Spoden identified the burglary suspect as Joseph Jakubowski, 32, of the Janesville area of Wisconsin. Spoden said more than 150 law enforcement officers were now engaged in an urgent nationwide manhunt for Jakubowski. Authorities said they did not know whether he was still in Rock County or even in Wisconsin.
 
Jakubowski allegedly broke into the Armageddon Supplies gun shop in Janesville Tuesday at 8:40 p.m. and stole about 16 high-end firearms. Thirty minutes later, Spoden said, a car was found engulfed in flames near the shop. Spoden said the car belonged to Jakubowski.
 
At least two assault rifles and several high-end handguns are among the stolen firearms, a law enforcement source told ABC News. Jakubowski may have stolen silencers as well, the source said. Armageddon Supplies advertises silences on its Facebook page.
 
Rock County Sheriffs Office in Wisconsin says Jakubowski is a gun-theft suspect who is armed and dangerous.

Police said he could also be seen on surveillance video, appearing to steal the weapons from the gun shop. Police said they believe that Jakubowski also had a bulletproof vest and helmet.
 
Police today also released a social media video that they said depicts Jakubowski's sending a package to Trump. Spoden said police had found a 161-page manifesto that Jakubowski had allegedly written and sent to Trump Tuesday at the White House.
 
"When you look at his document that he wrote, it's really a long list of injustices he believes the government and society and the upper class have put forward onto the rest of the citizens, so there's really nothing specific where he's saying, 'I was wronged in this way' or 'I was wronged in that way,'" Spoden said. "It's just an overview that he feels that government and law enforcement, in particular, are acting as terrorists and enslaving the people and creating this environment that he finds unacceptable."
 
In communications prior to his disappearance, Jakubowski also allegedly made reference to his dying by the hand of Trump and expressed a desire to save everyone by taking out one politician at a time.
 
Wisconsin authorities are working with the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Secret Service to find Jakubowski, who has been missing since Tuesday -- the same day he allegedly mailed the manifesto, burglarized the gun shop and set his car on fire, the law enforcement source said.
 
Spoden said police were looking into 65 leads and had searched a dozen locations. Classes were canceled in some nearby schools as officers searched for him.
 
Police said he was known to officers and had previously been imprisoned for trying to disarm a police officer. The FBI is now offering $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

POLICING THE POLICE


YOU GIVE A MAN OR WOMAN A BADGE AND A GUN.

YOU DRESS HIM/HER IN A UNIFORM SO THAT HE/SHE BECOMES A UNIT IN AN ASSEMBLY AND NO LONGER AN INDIVIDUAL.

YOU PUT THAT PERSON THROUGH TRAINING AND SET HIM/HER FREE ON THE PEOPLE.

AND WHEN YOU GET A ROGUE COP WHO IS EITHER INCOMPETENT, IRRESPONSIBLE, NEGLIGENT OR ACTUALLY CORRUPT, YOU ENSURE THAT HE/SHE IS HIDDEN AMONG THE BLUE UNIFORMS.

AND THE VICTIMS OF SUCH ROGUE COPS ARE UP AGAINST POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES - AS IN THIS CASE IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, WHERE THE POLICE HELP THE CRIMINALS.

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT CHINA

China's Rescues and Shelters 中国大陆和避难所
horrific Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China. This is probably one of the most horrific events on the planet. The absolute, abject torture of thousand of dogs every year cannot be excused in any way. No culture should be allowed to perform such abomination.

Some people claim that we are hypocrites since we also eat meat and slaughter large number of animals. Every culture/society commits questionable acts. This doesn't mean that we have to tolerate actions that are almost universally viewed as barbaric and horrific. And many people do speak out as well against questionable practices in our society.

The city of Yulin has so far ignored the flood of demands that it stops that festival. It's time to hit them in the pocketbook. China Yuchai International Ltd (CYD) is the largest company in the city. Ping Yan "is Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yuchai. He is also the Chairman of the State Holding Company. The State Holding Company which is owned by the City Government of Yulin in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, is a 22.1% shareholder in Yuchai." (Reuter) 

Demand that Mr. Yan pressures the city to end this horrific festival or move the company operations out of the city.

MY MOTHER'S HARLEQUIN BUTTON BOX


MY MOTHER, LEONIE RUBIN, HAD A BUTTON BOX. IT WAS A COOKIE TIN WITH A PICTURE OF A COLORFUL HARLEQUIN ON THE LID. THE BOX WAS FULL OF BUTTONS AND A FEW SMALL ODDS AND ENDS. ON A RAINY DAY, MY MOTHER WOULD LET ME PLAY WITH THE BUTTON BOX TO KEEP ME AMUSED. THAT BUTTON BOX WAS AMONG ALL THE PRECIOUS THINGS THAT DISAPPEARED WHEN DAWN MCSWEENEY TOOK OVER MY PARENTS' HOME.

THE BUTTON BOX WAS A TREASURE TO ME. BUT IT COULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT ANY MONEY TO DAWN MCSWEENEY, SO I FEAR IT WAS JUST GARBAGE TO HER.

I STILL HOPE FOR A SAVIOR WHO WILL RECOVER MY FAMILY'S TREASURES FROM THE THIEF, DAWN MCSWEENEY , INCLUDING ALL MY PRECIOUS JEWELRY AND MY DARLING HUSBAND'S NEW JERSEY DEPUTY SHERIFF BADGE AND HIS STETSON FEDORA AND OUR WEDDING PORTRAIT, OUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS - AND MY MOTHER'S BUTTON BOX

HOW TO CREATE A GREAT NATION


THE RICH AND POWERFUL MUST BE IN CONTROL. 

YOU MUST PREVENT THE POOR FROM GETTING A GOOD EDUCATION.

YOU MUST PREVENT THE POOR, THE SICK, THE HANDICAPPED AND THE AGED FROM GETTING GOOD HEALTH CARE. 

THAT MONEY IS NEEDED FOR TANKS, SHIPS, WAR PLANES AND ATOM BOMBS - AND TOWER HOTELS.


YOU MUST PREVENT PEOPLE FROM COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER.

YOU MUST SMOTHER THE FREE PRESS.

 YOU MUST MAKE PUBLIC ASSEMBLY A CRIME. 

YOU MUST MUZZLE THE COURTS AND TAKE OVER THE POLICE FORCES. 

YOU MUST SILENCE DISSIDENTS AND RID THE LAND OF MINORITY GROUPS.

IT IS THE ARYAN WAY, 

IT IS EUGENICS.

DONALD TRUMP'S 75 DAYS - A TRAIN WRECK


DEMOCRACY NOW - DONALD TRUMP'S 75 DAYS.

JUAN GONZÁLEZ:  Seventy-five days ago today, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. On the international front, Trump has expanded U.S. military operations in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Somalia, while resuming arms sales to Bahrain. On Monday, he welcomed Egyptian leader General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the White House as thousands of activists remain locked up in Egypt. At the United Nations, the Trump administration led a boycott of U.N. talks to ban nuclear weapons, while pushing for the United States to expand its own nuclear arsenal. Trump has also threatened to unilaterally act against North Korea.

On the environmental front, Trump picked climate deniers to head the Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Department, while slashing the EPA's programs to combat climate change. Trump's budget calls for an unprecedented $54 billion increase in military spending, while ending dozens of environmental, housing, diplomatic and educational programs. Trump is also requesting a nearly $3 billion increase in funding for the Department of Homeland Security, largely to pay for expanding the border wall and hiring 1,500 new Border Patrol and ICE agents.

AMY GOODMAN: However, the Trump agenda has faced some judicial and legislative setbacks. Federal courts have blocked the implementation of two travel bans targeting residents from six majority-Muslim nations. And in Congress, Trump failed in his attempt to repeal Obamacare, which would have stripped up to 24 million people of health insurance while giving the rich a massive tax break. Meanwhile, his administration is facing an FBI probe over its dealings with Russia before the election. This all comes as a resistance movement is growing throughout the country.

To help make sense of where the country stands 75 days into the Trump administration, we're joined by one of the world's best-known dissidents, the linguist and activist Noam Chomsky, institute professor emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he taught for more than 50 years. He is the author of more than a hundred books. His latest book comes out today. It's titled Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power.

AMY GOODMAN: So, why don't we start, on this 75th day, by your assessment of what has happened in these first few months?

NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, I think it was captured pretty well by a Los Angeles Times editorial, which simply called it a "train wreck." But it's very consistent, very systematic. Anything that can be of assistance to ordinary people, working people, middle-class people, people on the street- any such program has to be decimated. Anything that adds to wealth and power or that increases the use of force, that we carry forward.

And it's done with - there's kind of a two-tiered system working- I presume, consciously, so systematic it's hard to question. The Bannon-Trump team wants to make sure that they dominate the headlines. So, whatever they do, that's what people look at, and one crazy thing after another, the assumption apparently being you'll forget the old ones by the time the new ones come in. So, no one talks anymore about the 3 million illegal immigrants who voted for Clinton. That one, we've forgotten. We're on to the next one, and we'll go on to the next one.

While this is going on in front, the Paul Ryan-style budgetary and planning operations are going on quietly in the back, ripping to shreds any element of government that can help people either today or tomorrow. That's the point of the destruction of the environmental system. It's not just the EPA which was slashed. Most of the environmental programs were actually in the Energy Department. Their research and activist programs were slashed very seriously.

CASABLANCA - MIRROR OF OUR LIFE TOGETHER

Humphrey Bogart
The wonderful Dooley Wilson, unforgettable as Sam in Casablanca, was born on this day in 1886. At this year's Humphrey Bogart Film Festival, we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the best movie of all time!

CASABLANCA ALWAYS BRINGS BACK SUCH STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT MY HUSBAND, CLIFF CARTER. 

HUMPHREY BOGART WAS A GREAT ACTOR, BUT HE WAS PLAYING THE ROLES. CLIFF WAS THE REAL THING. 

HUMPHREY BOGART DIDN'T PLAY THE PIANO - DOOLEY DID. CLIFF PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY. AND HIS VOICE WAS MELLOW AND MOVING. 

I COULD STEP INTO "CASABLANCA" AND FEEL AT HOME, BECAUSE THAT WAS LIKE MY REAL LIFE WITH CLIFF.

CLIFF WAS THE MUSIC.
