WORD-UP-This Week In Review!

WORD-UP:

A University In Illinois Gun Toting Tragedy!

There is now another one of those national scenarios where college kids are killing each other at random. Five dead, eighteen wounded. The fifth school shooting this year!

And another reflection of the deprivation in morality, rancor, and revenge, that seem to be the template by which personal grievances are settled between adolescents and adults alike in the USA.

The gunman also took his own life. He was a graduate student!

UPDATE:

The Shooting Incident In Illinois!
One male student said on CNN tonight, that he was standing at the back of the auditorium, saw the gunman or youth with a shotgun in his hand, enter the stage in front of the auditorium from a side door on that stage, and started firing into the class.

Another alleged school pupil ( a female) said that the shooter was already sitting in the middle of the class. Stood up, and started shooting.
She did not say if he shot kids in front of him, or behind of him, or all around him.

These so-called eyewitness's reports will continue to contradict each other as time goes on!

SUMMARY:

The problem with these psychologists, media personnel, and others concerning the reason/s for a stellar academic achiever, with no record of any mental disability. To indulge in a gruesome murder of fellow school mates, warrants some explaining.

* No human regardless of his or her training in human behavior, could accurately predict or explain the anomalies that occur from time to time.

Because no human being has the ability to determine human behavior, or how the human psyche works in it's totality.

And that is a FACT.

WORD-UP:

Drug Addicts Could Be The Next Suicide Bombers!

If Al Qaeda could use mentally ill operatives to carry out their suicide bombings.

Then what will stop them from using Drug Addicts or Drug Users, to do the same thing here in the USA.

That scenario is possible here in America, and must be contemplated on as another possibility for terrorism.

America has millions of citizens who would do anything to get a fix. Therefore, making them targets for future terrorist activities!

WORD-UP:

America's EGO is On Challenge!

Do you believe the Pentagon on this hype they are selling the American people. About some satellite that is heading towards earth's atmosphere, and they intend to shoot it or destroy it with a missile before it enters earth's atmosphere?

The TRUTH is simply this:

* The Pentagon is now going to test the ability of US forces to accurately shoot down a satellite in space.

The Chinese did it just recently, and America's EGO cannot sit still and not challenge that reality!

WORD-UP:

The McCain & Hukabee Duo!

Mike Hukabee is like a walking cane for John McCain.

A cane that he would like to lose, but is afraid that if he does. He might fall, and would have to press the Help Button to say:

Help me, I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up!

The Dye Is Cast Hillary, deal with this reality!

WORD-UP:

Questionable Priorities?

The House Of Congress is mow engaged with the inquiry of one (Roger Clemens), ball player on his alleged use of steroids.

Is this for real?

Why is the House Of Congress getting involved in some non-related activity, and ignoring a more POTENT and outstanding issue on 'The Impeachment of George W. Bush' for crimes against humanity?

This to my mind is what most Americans would LOVE to see Congress pursue with ZEAL right now!

February 12-2008:

Hillary Clinton Is Stomping At The Pit!

WORD-UP:

It seems quite obvious to me tonight, that the women (older and younger), who were formerly leaning towards Hillary Clinton, is now shifting towards Barack Obama.

WHY?

Because they are begining to see that Hillary is losing the possibility of becoming the pre-sumptive nominee, based on her losses recently, and Barack's wins currently.

And he does so VERY CONVINCINGLY too!

So why back a lame horse that is Stmpimg At The Pit?

Local Manufacturers Ar Having A Difficulty Time Staying Alive!

WORD-UP:

General Motors in the USA is asking employees if they want to retire early. And is willing to pay them for so doing.

This indigenous car manufacturer is also experiencing heavy competition with Japanese cars that most Americans seem to prefer.

If this foreign preference for manufactured goods continues, it will drain the national economy even further in the near future.

That is why it is so IMPERATIVE that we have a Foreign Trade Regulatory Bill to help curtail the tendency to export local and national manufacturing companies abroad.

WORD-UP:

Like It Or Not!

The youth or younger generation in the USA will decide who the next president elect will be in 2009.

This is the time that the new millennium youth vote will decide the national agenda.

This is the AGE OF "YOUTH POWER" in America.

My Response To Freedom's Enemies!

WORD-UP:

The intensive report was obviously produced to coerce, persuade, and prejudice readers, to view Barack Obama in a very negative light.
I agree with some of these findings about Barack Obama. But humans by and large are influenced by their personal, cultural, and filial experiences. Which determine how they would eventually perceive their role or roles in the socio-political diaspora eventually.

Albeit, we all make mistakes in our choices, and values along the way. But when a person makes changes that OBVIOUSLY shows his or her determination to make positive changes or differences from past errors, or utterances. Then those or that person must be vindicated for their actions NOW.

If we continue to use the past to determine any person's worth to the whole. Then we prevent healing, growth, progress, and change in that or those persons.

I will not allow Barack Obama's past life, views, or experiences to influence my judgement about his PRESENT position on politics, economics, social changes, or what is right and just for all Americans going forward in the future.

Om Shanti.

WORD-UP:

Is Hillary Clinton's Campaign In Trouble?

She would say NO. We are only doing some strategic planning.
But I say, she is in serious trouble psychologically, for the following reasons:

* She came into this campaign with the impression that she was inevitable.

* She won most of the primaries too.

* She was ahead until South Carolina was won COVINCINGLY by Barack Obama.

Then her un-stoppable perception started faltering. She has lost some five very important states right now. And it seems like she is destined to loose some more again soon.

So, with this current voter climate and preference for Barack Obama.

She has to feel a bit scared!

A National Agenda Against ANGER & Violence!

WORD-UP:

The Republicans are calling for a return to the hard core American values that seem to have been forgotten or lost within that party and camp.

The Democrats are calling for change. And a metamorphosis in Washington's administration, the House and Senate's agenda. To reflect the desires of the national electorate.

But no one is calling for a cessation of National Violence against each other, across the specter of American life and lifestyle.

We need a national agenda that addresses the spate of Individual and national ANGER and VIOLENCE towards each other, when someone or some group feels offended.

Hillary Clinton Reshuffles Her Campaign Managers!

WORD-UP:

Hillary Clinton has reshuffled her campaing managers once more.
Yes, this is the new reality at the Clinton's camp. Maybe as a result of her recent losses.

Expedience may have determined the motive for this new house cleaning exercise!

February 08-2008:

WORD-UP:

How Will The National Agenda Be Coined After The Elections In 2009?

The only way that TRUE national unity, cohesion, and solidarity will be realized by any democratic candidate, hinges on the following:

* The ability to make Latinos, Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others, realize that the social, political, and economic issues are common to each group.

* The ability to bring Blacks, Whites and Latinos to the table, to reconcile our differences of outlook, perspectives, and concerns, so that each group will realize that we cannot make this national agenda possible without each other.

The White and Asian communities see themselves differently in many respects on these same issues, and how to circumvent them as a group. But the Latinos and Blacks are still not fully in synch with each other's concerns. And are yet to see how the similarities can be assimilated.

If Barack Obama is to gain the Latino support and votes if he becomes the democratic nominee, he MUST concentrate on making these inroads nationally as his TOP priority.

WORD-UP:

The So Called Obama Girl Is A Media Whore-Liar & A Phony!

The Obama Girl who said that she has a CRUSH on Obama in her video, should be dismissed as a PHONY.

Imagine all of the hype, and fronting that she did on YouTube about her desire and interest.

As far as I am concerned. She should be made history of. She was not registered. And came up with some lame excuse for not doing so.

She is just another OPPORTUNIST, Media Whore, and a LIAR.

Get outa here Obama Girl.

WORD-UP:

John Mc Cain Did Not Show Up For The Stimulus Package Voting!

John McCain by refusing to show up to vote for the 'stimulus package,' told the American people that political maneuvering is what matters, against principle and responsibility.

He is also a man with a notorious record for obscenity of speech, and very a abrasive temperament.

A man that is not in tune with mainstream American views pertaining to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And the URGENCY to bring home our troops from Iraq, and assign them where they can be more effective in serving our country.

That is the John McCain that has shown over and over, that he is a wimp, a liar, and not qualified to lead this country in 2009 as Commander In Chief!

WORD-UP:

Please Barack-Could We Have Another Two Debates?

Senator Hillary Clinton is so desperate and fearful of losing to Senator Barack Obama. That she is now asking him to have a weekly debate with her.

For heaven's sake! What on earth for?

She was considered the 'inevitable winner' in this campaign. So what is she afraid of now?

Anyway, the American electorate will determine who the democratic candidate for the nomination will be in time!

WORD-UP:

Do You Know That The CHICASAW Nation Owned Slaves?

Do you know that the "CHICASAW" nation, an indigenous nation among the many indigenous nations of America, had slaves too.

Yes, this nation (the CHICASAWS), owned several thousands of Blacks for years, long after it was outlawed by the White Americans and the United States Congress. They even refused to free these Black slaves, even when they were told that slavery was now illegal.

So thousands of Black slaves were kept enslaved by these people, for years after the emancipation. Making them illegal aliens, non-citizens, and invisible, to the mainstream society of Black people in the USA.

Not many Black Americans today, even know about this indigenous nation's transgression in America!

WORD-UP:

Would Barack Obama Settle For Vice President?

At the outset of this campaign, Barack Obama said that he was not running for Vice President.

And that's that!

However, I don't think he will consent to that position.

If he does, I will never forgive him for taking the traditional stereotypical 'shadow position' that is so commonly expected!

Microsoft Proposed Buyout Of Yahoo Internet Search Engine!

ATTENTION:

This new proposed takeover deal by Microsoft of Yahoo Internet, may not necessarily be a good deal for Internet users generally.

WHY?

* If this deal goes through, Microsoft will be in a position to sell or share more personal information online with the FBI, and other agencies, un-knowingly to Internet users.
And that spells TROUBLE for us all.

* Secondly, this new deal (if it happens) will make Microsoft another Mega Corporate controller of the Internet and web services (search engine).

* And Microsoft may restructure or dismiss lots of employees of Yahoo in this deal, for it's own people too!

So this new development is worth contemplating very seriously!

The American people do not need a Cleaning lady in the White House!

Hillary Clinton said tonight the following:
Quote: It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush. And it may take a Clinton to clean up after the second Bush.

Summary:
We do not need a Cleaning Lady in the White House. What we need is a president who will keep that house and the administration SPANKY clean during his time, and leave it clean for his successors!

WORD-UP:

Barack Obama Does Not Need To Be Dictated To!

The press and local media keep stressing that Barack Obama has to be more specific with his position on issues!

I dare say, that Barack Obama, like Hillary Clinton, are both Lawyers. They know when it is crucial to reveal the evidence or substance for their case, to convince the Judge or Jury.

So stop trying to DICTATE to Barack Obama how he should sell himself in this competition!

The Republican's Debate!

WORD-UP:

Mike Hukabee's response to the question of Sandra Day O'Connor's appointment to the Supreme Court.

Quote:

"I am not going to come to the Ronald Reagan's library and say something stupid like whether his suggestion that Ms. O'connor was eligible for the appointment. I am not that stupid."

This was the best response to a question by a candidate on this Republican Debate so far!

And Hukabee's summation of Ronald Reagan's beliefs was ON POINT. Especially his view on what is to be a proud American!

Never Trust A RAT!

WORD-UP:

Hillary Clinton is expected to win in the Florida primary tonight. She is so desperate to win something, that she has defied the promise that she and the other democratic candidates made sometime ago, not to campaign in Florida.

Even though that win is not VALID, and gives her ZERO delegates!

That is the Hillary Clinton that expects to win the nomination, after breaking that collective agreement among her contemporaries!

WORD-UP:

Appearances Matter!

Have you ever observed that behind Mitt Romney and John McCain's speeches every time. There is NEVER any person or Persons of COLOR standing behind them on the podium.

And I ask myself if this injection was ever considered, overlooked, or never deemed necessary or important?

Just a thought!
