The Forgotten Country

The Forgotten Country
The Sudan as long been a region of Africa torn by conflict and civil war. A study of history reveals that the names and faces may change, but the heart of the matter remains the same. Hate, greed and sectarianism stains the ground red with the blood of the innocents.

The past two decades brought the plight of the Sudanese people onto the world stage. The government forces from the North mercilessly bombarded the civilian population and rebel forces in the South. The army invaded the villages in the South the North where they were forced to study the Koran, and in many cases were pressed into military service. The women were raped, mutilated or killed.
The world watched in horror as these events unfolded. The armies of the Islamic North Sudan were committing genocide against the civilian populations of the Christian and Animist populations of the South Sudan. Many people fled to refugee camps in the Darfur region of West Sudan, only to come under attack once again.

Once the death toll and suffering had become unfathomable, and the world had seen enough, there was enough pressure placed upon Khartoum to agree to a cease fire, and finally to a peace treaty. This culminated in the creation of a new nation—South Sudan—the world’s newest country. Which would soon become the forgotten country.

The world was so happy with the victory they now saw as their own. The truth is, the victory belonged to the people of the South Sudan who had suffered at the hands of the North.

But not long after all the foreign dignitaries and all the reporters and all the cameras had left…the bullets and the bombs began to fly again. But the world has forgotten about South Sudan.

Why is this happening? South Sudan is sitting on top of oil fields and the greedy government in the North is willing to do anything to get it. So they continue to drop bombs, and rape the women, and kill, and mutilate, and destroy…
The world must stand up to this evil again, and this time we must not walk away. Bring the guilty to justice for their war crimes.

A Just US System the Political Schemers

A JUST US SYSTEM
THE POLITICAL SCHEMERS

Politicians want to look tough on crime, but they are the ones to blame for prison overcrowding, to them it’s just a Money Game. This is the law they enacted, so what is it really all about? A game they play with human lives called “3-Strikes and you’re out.”

Back in 1994, they started giving us all this time, throwing the key away? They see money, money, money on the prisoners face; no concerns about Rehabilitation just fill up the prison space. That’s what this is all about, what we did was wrong yes, but no one was killed or really hurt but the system is throwing us away like Garbage and Treating Us like Dirt.

This unfair law is affecting everyone who is morally conscious and aware of true justice. If a person has paid for a crime he or she has done in the past, by doing his or her time, then what makes it right, to force that person to be charged again for that same crime that has been paid for?

It’s called overcharging and taking advantage of the power the citizens of California has given to politicians who is supposed to uphold the standards of truth, justice, and fair play.

They took us away from society, with greed in mine, affecting our children and the possibilities in our lives, just so they could capitalize. They have locked us up and don’t seem to want to let us go, a living Hell the over crowding, like living in Roach Motel.

This law was supposed to protect our children, but our schools have taken a fall, it’s about the money, man, not justice for all.

Bad Politicians are cutting our children’s education by millions upon millions of other peoples hard-earned tax dollars they take away from our children’s hopes, their dreams and handicap their future this is not leadership, but a greedy diabolical inhumane scheme that must go away. A monstrous atrocity:

The worst I ever saw, a unjust rule, they call “The 3-Strikes Law”

My Fellow Blgrs.

Greetings.

Oh.  My.  God.  Did the 99 just go viral around the world?

OMG!

First off, if anyone is spiritually in tuned person may God forever bless you and keep you safe.  Secondly, did my ‘blogs’ mention what’s going on right now?  We the people are rising to a level that’s been needed for such a longtime I am so happy to see the conscious re-awakened.  Whatever you want to call it movement, revolution, or 99 the present system has neglected the ‘People’.  Now I’m listening to these so-called economist analyze and dissect the problems and yet will not provide a solution, isn’t that terrible?  And then you have the representing the establishment who voices its opinion about their not being a cohesive collective ideology articulating the movements cause.  But we know that the mis-trust [sic], neglect, and lack of jobs for the people are the main issues.  There’s nothing scientific about this global phenomena!  The people are tired of the corporations bribing, buying, and manipulating the so-called government of the people.

 

The last-time something this drastic happened was the civil rights movement.  Think on this, what if all the people withdrew all of their funds from the banks?  What if all the people began to practice the behavior of being very thrift?  What if the people built their own economic base in which to operate from?

 

Professional politicians has already screwed the people so what other evidence is there?  Two, seven-hundred dollar bail-outs for the establishment?  I don’t know the answers, but I’m quite sure that “we the people” can enumerate some ideas.  If this is a Christian nation God forbid we act accordingly.  People continue to stand white, black, other all ethnic groups-shoulder to shoulder in our quest to take care of each other.

 

Please, continue the struggle.

Sincerely,

Thaddeus

What Comes Next?

Oct-2-11

Hello fellow Blgrs.

Yeah, its me again, the bald shiny-head black guy.  First, I give props to my friend Sophie!  Once again, I have to delve into race one of the most boring subjects there is.  Now, understand me, this countries track record on the subject past behavior was ruthless and yet in the twenty-first century, we haven’t progressed much.  Lets look at the word-American-what comes to mind: one people moving in one direction concerned only with the upward mobility of all its citizens.  Tell me this, can an organism function without all its parts?  Can it merely move separately from its whole self?  can it fight off diseases in pieces?  These are fundamental questions that need answering without making it seem so scientific, which keeps this country from reaching its full potential.  Until we, as one people, solve these simple questions we’ll never solve the global issue that plagues us today.

 

Look at China, you might not like them, but look how they move in one direction.  The entire organism moving for a common cause, being the best as a whole Chinese Nation, Germany, Russia and many others nations not fragmented, but pushing forward for the whole cause.

 

Now, I’m no scholar now scientist only a mere layman doing prison time.  So, how long will it take for this-once great nation-to assemble its fragmented pieces?  Will we continue to express American as a fragmented society or will we rise to the occasion and practice the true idealism America truly stands for.  Over a twenty year period America has went from first to almost last.  How do we account for that?  What is the excuse?  Whose to blame?  But most importantly, what is our solution?  If we don’t find out quickly we might end up seeing this once great nation succumb to vassalage.

 

People!  Lets find the answers!

 

Sincerely

Thaddeus

The Future Of America? Does it have One?

Sept-18-11

Fellow Blgrs.

Something appeared on television the other night where bullying was the issue, but something else caught my attention this past Sunday.  On This Week-Christiane Amanpour-the topic was “Bringing America Back”.  I did not watch it due to my commitment to be in church.  But I do have an opinion if I’m running my mouth too much, hopefully, you my cyber friends will nudge me back in my place.  Now that America’s short coming are at critical mass the media buckled the government responded, again when car dealerships buckled who responded, yep the good ole government.  Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae almost crumbled and since the government represents “you the people” your whatever you want to call them, out.  And now, that you the people are at critical mass in losing your homes, life-savings and dignity where is your bail-out?  Un-employment checks, please! And guess who’s up there playing with your lives?  Right!  Your elected officials.

That isn’t saying much, but there you have it.  Both sides of the aisle sitting there like over-grown children pouting while the rest of the working people in the United States are getting poorer.  The United States is rapidly turning into a two-tiered society, those with wealth and the have-nots.  I’m an innocent black man sitting in prison and the white so-called-middle-class is being decimated.  WE are worse off than some other countries we were previously ahead of in terms of technology, the social upward mobility and truly grasping the “American dream”.

I’ve stated once before-no government has ever withstood the test of time!  SO, where does America stand?  Will we wither away into oblivion or will we rise as a collective nation looking out for all Americans or will we continue on the path of self preservation?

Sincerely

Thaddeus

Greetings fellow

Bloggers,

Please, am I hearing and seeing things, because apparently, the ole US of A has begun to pay close attention to China.  Say it isn’t so!  Why?  because their fast becoming the global economic engine that the states use to be?  or it is simply despising the changing order.  Now there’s nothing wrong in being a leader, but you must adhere to the basic tenets: take care of home first!  Western ideology pastulates [sic] individual accomplishments: you get yours and I’ll get mine.

 

They say capitalism is great!  Yes, only to those that are in the minority and I don’t mean that racially.  Now that the world has changed we’ve fallen behind.  Fallen short or just plumb failed!  Which brings me to this question.  how did the most advanced nation in the world as a Western civilization stumble?  I’m using a softer euphemism in describing whats [sic] really going on.  And people know this there’s a lot going on which people refuse to talk about.  It is a shame to be labeled a world power and yet in the twenty first century our racial biases dominates the minds of all Americans from toddlers to elders.  To me, we are very much primitive in our out-dated [sic] thoughts.

 

We are a nation of three-hundred million and we can’t take care of ourselves.  Greed, greed and more greed will continue to bring this once great nation to its knees.  Instead of focussing [sic] on China and what they’re doing we need to clean-up our own back-yard before instead of owing this one-trillion dollars it’ll be two-trillion.

 

As long as this country remains elitist it’ll never again be the light of the world.  It’s a horrendous act when we claim, as a nation, to be Christians and can’t mete out the simplest of Jesus’ acts.  giving alms.  Can we become that beacon again?

Until……..

 

Love ya.

Questioning Corporate Tax Greed and the Treatment of US Workers

August-17-11

Fellow Blgrs. Hello

To all who have faith may God always surround you with an [sic] hedge of protection.

Well, this week was rather interesting to say the least. Now, tell me if I’m wrong. Isn’t America the place where it has been postulated vigorously that the American dream is there for all to partake of when you work hard, be honest, practice moral values etc…..well that seems to be a mantra of the past, unless your [sic] born into wealth, which is less than one percent, roughly. The economy is in the toilet, Obama is being blamed, the congress is playing with peoples lives; the whole system is a joke. Corporations get bailed out and yet the average citizen is tossed to the side like a used dish rag.
Those who are considered the Magnates, corporations and the like are seriously treating the American people like trash. In evading their responsibility of paying reasonable taxes, these companies will up-root their business, at the behest of the people who work for them, and swiftly deployed them to countries who’s taxe’s [sic] are much lower than the measely [sic] 35% tax rate the Unite States has deemed appropiate [sic]. Tell me this, how can millionaires and billionaires treat the very people (US Citizens) who made them the wealthiest people in America like they had nothing to do with their success? And now, bite on this. These same people whom up-rooted their businesses placing them in other countries, has the gall to turn around and sale the American consumer those products that people here once, made, packaged and sold to customers. Now, if that’s right and the American people are fine with it I’ll shut my mouth!
On another note Warren Buffet has challenged the wealthy to pay higher taxes instead of allowing a secretary or any other menial worker shoulder the majority of taxe’s [sic].
America! Wake-up!

Sincerely,
Thaddeus
