DOJ whitewashing black racism

Why haven't national media outlets reported on the vile and violent rants of the New Black Panther Party thugs whose 2008 voter intimidation tactics got a pass from the Obama administration?

This week, Justice Department whistleblower J. Christian Adams came forward with damning public testimony about how Obama officials believe "civil rights law should not be enforced in a race-neutral manner, and should never be enforced against blacks or other national minorities."

In the wake of Adams' expose on how the Obama DOJ abandoned default judgments against the NBPP bullies for the sake of politically correct racial politics, a shocking video clip of one of the lead defendants in the Philadelphia voter intimidation case resurfaced on the Internet. It shows bloodthirsty King Samir Shabazz during a 2009 National Geographic documentary interview spewing:

"You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"

In August 2009, nearly a year ago, I reported on a sign on display outside NBPP defendant (and elected member of Philadelphia's 14th Ward Democratic Committee) Jerry Jackson's home. It reads: "COLORED ONLY: No Whites Allowed." In July 2009, I interviewed poll watcher/witness Christopher Hill, whom Shabazz and Jackson called "cracker" several times while Shabazz brandished his baton.

"They physically attempted to block me," Hill recounted. He also saw a group of elderly ladies walk away from the polling site without voting while the duo preened in front of the entrance. "If you're a poll watcher, you shouldn't be dressed in paramilitary garb," Hill said, as he wondered aloud at what would have happened if he had showed up in the same sort of costume.

In the fall of 2008, just days before he showed up to hector white poll workers, Shabazz told the Philadelphia Inquirer:

"I'm about the total destruction of white people. I'm about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy. ... The only thing the cracker understands is violence. ... The only thing the cracker understands is gunpowder. You got to take violence to violence."

The desire to kill, subordinate and demonize white people is a staple of NBPP propaganda. An NBPP Trenton, N.J., chapter "block party" music video posted on YouTube calls on black followers to "bang for freedom," "put the bang right Fake Glashutte into a cracker's face," and "if you're going to bang, bang for black power ... hang a cracker ... if you're going to bang, bang on the white devil ... burying him near the river bank with the right shovel ... community revolution in progress ... banging for crackers to go to hell, we don't need em."

Chanting "Black Power," Minister Najee Muhammad, national field marshal for the New Black Panther Party, and Uhuru Shakur, local chairman of the Atlanta NBPP chapter, issued a pre-Election Day 2008 threat to "racists and other angry whites who are upset over an impending Barack Obama presidential victory." Said Muhammad: "Most certainly, we cannot allow these racist forces to slaughter our babies or commit other acts of violence against the black population, nor our black president."

That's rich, given that the only racists talking about slaughtering babies are the ones with New Black Panther Party patches on their puffed chests.

If a Tea Party activist threatened to kill the babies of his political opponents, it wouldn't just be front-page news. It would be the

Doing the leg work; In associa

Byline: HELEN RAE

WITH Christmas almost here and the party season on the horizon, it'll soon be time to start making sure your legs are fit to flash.

We all know the allure of revealing great pins, but leg health expert Kimby Osborne said they deserve more than just a bit of occasional seasonal tender loving care.

She warns that we are neglecting our legs all year round.

"Most women are now aware and familiar with how important it is to pick up on any changes in our breasts to avoid cancer," explains Kimby, a former chiropodist who is now director of training for compression hosiery company Activa Healthcare.

She added: "Yet 90% of us ignore any changes in what is one of the most important parts of the body - our legs.

"By not heeding those warning signs, we are putting our health at risk from, at worst, lifethreatening deep vein thrombosis (DVT) through to varicose veins to leg ulcers."

It's estimated 50% of us are likely to experience leg problems during our lifetime.

"Many people are unaware that aching legs, swollen ankles or enlarged veins mean all is not well with the circulatory system," Kimby said.

"These symptoms shouldn't be regarded as normal and can be alleviated and treated before they trigger worse problems.

"Yet, in general, the reaction of many is to simply lose weight and Fake Chopard Watches put their feet up regularly.

This is totally inadequate."

Around 6.3 million people - 70% of who are women - suffer from varicose veins.

This occurs where valves within the veins do not work correctly, or the vein walls are weak, allowing the vein to become permanently enlarged.

More worryingly, around one in 2,000 people in the UK develop DVT. In the over-80s, this figure rises to one in every 500.

Jeanette Baker, from South Shields, South Tyneside, never dreamed that she was at risk of a DVT, right up until she was diagnosed with a blood clot in her right leg five years ago.

She said: "I was 48 and, as far as I was concerned, in good health.

"Many years before I had varicose veins and I had those injected, but that was my other leg."

Jeanette, then an office worker in advertising sales, said she first knew something was wrong when her right calf began to feel hard.

"I thought I'd done something to my leg," she explained.

"I'd started to limp, but I was ignoring it. I have a touch of arthritis in my knees and I thought I might have dislocated it.

"I made an appointment at the doctors and went to get it checked."

Jeanette's GP measured her calves.

The leg can swell if a clot is present, but Jeanette's wasn't particularly enlarged.

Medical tests indicated something was wrong and Jeanette was immediately referred to South Tyneside Hospital, where she had a scan which showed a clot behind the knee.

She added: "They asked me if I had been on a plane and I hadn't recently. I told them the discomfort had started on the Sunday after I had been sitting at my computer doing some work at

consecration of the United Sta

In es ion the of opin pag this --newspaper, and in the right-wing media, it is now common to hear the U.S. Constitution spoken of as a document somehow anointed by God and therefore meriting a reverence that precludes interpretation, revision or criticism. This portrayal of the Constitution is used to attack the liberal view that the Constitution is a "living document" that must be evaluated in light of contemporary circumstances and societal opinion. It is a portrayal whose rhetorical effectiveness depends upon its ability to appropriate and manipulate religious beliefs in the service of a political viewpoint.

Fundamentalist Christians seem particularly susceptible to this rhetorical tactic. The nature of their religious convictions suggests that they have a deep-seated intolerance of uncertainty and a craving for unimpeachable authority. They value unquestioning faith and unwavering commitment, and they have a tendency to see God as a causal agent in everyday life. It's hardly surprising that they are receptive to political positions that offer absolute assurance of truth, and the opportunity to engage in what they are led to believe is a holy cause. They welcome the news that the Michele Watch Constitution is not just another political theory, but rather a revelation of how God wishes us to lead our political lives. They are favorably disposed to the view that God had a hand in creating the Constitution , and that, just as in the case of the Bible , God's word must be taken literally, not as interpreted by "experts" like Supreme Court justices.

Because persuading the religious right that political issues are really religious ones is not too difficult, politicians and pundits of all stripes, whether believers or not, are adept at the manipulation of the faithful. There are, of course, some ranters on the right who actually believe their own diatribes; who believe that the Constitution, a document written amid controversy and compromise by a group of deists imbued with the principles of 18th century political philosophy, is supernaturally sanctified and the touchstone of political wisdom for all times and peoples. They believe this, despite the fact that it is nonsense.

Replica Jimmy Choo Handbags

Few political ideas in the Constitution were new: the division of authority, the balance of powers, republicanism , due process, the rights of man --all had already been thought of. The Constitution does not establish a demonstrably better form of government than, say, the parliamentary system, and it has evident flaws, which political scientists have pointed out (see, e.g., Levinson, "Our Undemocratic Constitution" ). The founders were no more prescient about the future of the country than one might expect intelligent men to be. They knew that changing times would necessitate alterations in their document; that's why they provided a means to amend it. The fact that there have now been 27 amendments suggests just how imperfect the original document was (and to what extent, as it now stands, it represents not just the wisdom of the founders, but that of the American people.)

Finally, the founders made it abundantly clear that the political and religious realms must be completely independent. There is hardly a more egregious violation of that principle than the claim that the Christian God ghostwrote the Constitution.

Today's most conspicuous , and perhaps sincere, advocate for the Constitution's Biblical stature is Glenn Beck.

Beck, a Mormon convert , shares his sect's inclination to deify the Constitution and has championed the writings of W. Cleon Skousen, a fellow Mormon who was such as extreme conserva

Connors

Patent attorney John J. Connors, Esq. hasemphatically registered his clients' opposition to patent bills (LeahyS.1145 and Berman H.R.1908) introduced in both houses of Congress on April20.

In an early warning letter on March 23 sent to the Honorable John Boehner(R.-Ohio) and other members of Congress and the Administration, Connorswrote, "I am happy to report that our patent system is working the designer shoes way itis supposed to. Trans-national corporations, however, are telling Congressthat the American patent system is broken and needs reform, because the'Davids' who own an American patent can stop these 'Goliaths' from stealingtheir ideas. If anything needs to be reformed, it is the operations of ourpatent office."

As a member of the Orange County Business Council's Washington D.C.delegation, Connors also alerted Orange County's congressionalrepresentatives, commenting, "The proposed legislation would radicallyalter the American patent system in fundamental ways, changing it to lookmore like those of America's global competitors."

Connors, a veteran patent attorney, former manager of a corporate patentdepartment, and corporate director (ICU Medical, Inc.-NASDAQ), explains,"An American patent is much more valuable than foreign patents because ofthe size of the U.S. market and the greater likelihood of winning in court.Many trial attorneys will accept a patent case on a contingency basis, butmost 'Goliath' corporations, want to shift litigation from the Federalcourts to the Patent Office, which would create a legal and economicbarrier to enforcement, making it more difficult for a start-up company tocompete and frustrating a patentee short on money from obtaining legalrepresentation.

"The Leahy-Berman patent bills conform the American patent system toforeign systems modeled after German patent law, which was rooted in amilitary-industrial economy dominated by cartels. These bills areessentially the same as the 'harmonization' patent bill of the early 1990s,calling for a 'first-to-file' system and providing that oppositions togranted patents will be tried before a Patent Office tribunal rather than ajury.

"These foreign systems," Christian Louboutin Bags Connors continues, "also fail to offer theone-year grace period unique to the American patent system -- a provisionthat gives inventors a chance to test their ideas in the marketplace beforespending extensively on patent protection.

"I'm afraid that a relentless public relations and lobbying campaign hashoodwinked many of our political leaders into believing the American patentsystem is irreparably flawed."

Connors is sharing his unique experience in written testimony to theCongressional committees considering these bills, expressing his concernsthat the proposed transmutation of the U.S. patent law will devalueAmerican patents, jeopardizing America's technological leadership andsecurity to achieve (in the words of Senator Patrick Leahy [D-Vermont]"international consistency."

In his written testimony, Connors discusses the advantages of the currentAmerican patent system and points out that the real problem is a backlog ofover 800,000 applications and an overworked and under-trained patentexaminer corps. "The Leahy-Berman patent bills, if enacted, will onlyincrease the backlog of applications," he writes, "because (1) a'first-to-file' system encourages filing many applications coveringundeveloped ideas that may never come to fruition, and (2) Patent Officeresources will be diverted to conducting paten

No shock frocks as ladies put

Hollywood's leading ladies played it safe in the fashion stakes at this year's Oscars.

Replica Graham Watches

There was no re-run of past faux pas, like Icelandic singer Bjork's dead swan creation or CAline Dion in her backwards suit.

Most red carpet walkers made studied, meticulous fashion decisions for Hollywood's biggest night.

Keira Knightley ( nominated for Best Actress for her role of Elizabeth Bennet (corr) in Pride and Prejudice ( set the night's trend in an aubergine Vera Wang one-shoulder gown and a 1960s Bulgari jewelled necklace. Fellow Brit Rachel Weisz radiated star (or was that baby?) power in a black empire line Narciso Rodriquez dress.

Replica Omega Railmaster Watches

Super slim superstar Nicole Kidman stole the show in a breathtaking white lace Balenciaga creation.

Michelle Williams, of Brokeback Mountain fame, wore a figure-hugging 1930s-style mustard number, while Amy Adams, of Replica Omega De VilleWatches Junebug, looked a vision in a chocolate-coloured ball gown by Carolina Herrera.

Paris Hilton, who has been criticised for her garish and skimpy outfits in the past, wore an elegant peacock style gown.

But Charlize Theron looked like she had a left-over Christmas bow on the shoulder of her steel green leather silk satin Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano.

And Helena Bonham Carter mixed blue satin with white fettish-style shoes.
