Assuming and acting on what you think another person is thinking leads to misunderstandings and upset.

If we remember and accept that we’re all different and that we each see the world in our own way, relationships improve and we are happier.

I watched that video and it made me weep for those sea creatures that cannot know what is happening to their environment.

It is rumored that Anonz is in recovery somewhere in Germany. It is believed he is recovering from a nasty burn. The girls are always asking after his welfare. So I try to stay informed.

It is difficult to get information because there are so many death threats made against his life daily. We were recently informed that our phones had been tapped.

It seems someone expected him to call. Why they would think Anonz is that stupid, I cannot say.

The last time I heard from him is when he told me that the powers that be will drive the European Euro down to discourage the oil countries from replacing the dollar with the euro.

He told me to continue playing the American markets even though the market will drop precipitately whenever the big player want to shake out the pack and to take a little profit.

If I hear anything I will certainly let you know. But he is staying away from those he cares about because he does not wish to endanger anyone.

Oh, I too like what you had to say. I put a copy in the diplo pouch that goes out to him.

Some good news concerning the Guam War Claims Bill. It has been approved by the House of Representatives.

Guam War Claims Bill Linked To Defense Act, Again; But The Real Test Is In The Senate

Guam – Guam News

Guam – The Guam War Claims Bill was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives Friday. It was attached as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act, just as it was last year.

The amendment was introduced by Guam Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo and was part of a package of other specialty amendments that were tacked onto the Defense Authorization bill all at once by a voice vote. The 2011 Defense Authorization Act was then approved by the full House by a vote of 229 to 186.

However, the real test for what’s formally called “The Guam Loyalty Recognition Act” will come in the Senate, where it failed to pass last year.

It failed because the measure includes compensation not just to the living survivors of the Japanese occupation during World War II. It would also provide compensation to the immediate descendants of those who survived the occupation and have since died.

Senator Carl Levin of Michigan and Senator John McCain of Arizona opposed compensation to descendants because of the precedent it would set. They suggested eliminating descendant compensation from the measure, but Bordallo rejected the compromise and the War Claims amendment failed in the Senate.

Its fate in the Senate this year continues to be uncertain.

Bordallo is quoted in a release as saying that: “The House today reaffirmed its support for Guam war claims by adopting my amendment by voice vote and we now focus our efforts on the Senate.”

It is very difficult for Guam to prevail in the Senate because the Senate is made up of 99% whites. And whites never feel that OTWS deserve the benefits they take for granted.

White america is so used to being the affirmative action group of America that they try to put that label on any group that ask government to equalize the benefits government has been giving them for being white.

If by their definition Affirmative Action means a benefit bestowed on a group simply because of their race, then white america has benefited from Affirmative Action since the United States of America became a country on July 4, 1776.
.
I am not anti white. There are plenty of white members in my family. I an simply stating a fact that cannot be disputed.

The fact is the Senate is made up of 99 whites and 1 OTW. Does anyone think it just a coincidence that OTW causes asking for reparations to make up for the Affirmative Action given to whites die there?

The truth is that most whites in America believe that this is “their” country and they will do anything to remain the Affirmative Action race here..

Any OTW group who asks for parity or make up for past wrongs are labeled as seeking “Affirmative Action.” This allows whites to claim that racism is over and all groups should be treated the same.

As I said, I am not against whites, but I want to set the record straight. Guam is entitled to the same benefits that whites get from Congress every day.

Mandy, you’re welcome. See? That one comment from you made that soapbox rant worthwhile, there’s nothing I like better than to help my fellow women. Now if we could be for each other and have each others back the way men do for each other we’d be a serious force to reckon with…I will keep that dream alive for us all.

Ruth, where’s anonz? Just curious to know if he’s alright…

Have a lovely day everyone, it is a gorgeous day here in the southland and I’m going to make a move!

Luv, Zen Lill
