World Issues On My Mind
Posted by Michelle Moquin on April 24th, 2010
Good morning.
There is so much to discuss today, my mind is reeling over too many topics to choose from.
Between Goldman Sachs ‘Big Short’, intent on screwing over the livelihood of Americans, to Larry Summers defending the megabanks when all along the mantra has been to end ”The too big to fail”, all I see is a bunch of white boys, (and I call them boys because they don’t deserve to be called men) their hands holding their heads, their faces in dire need of a shot of Botox.
And then we have the Tibetans who are getting no help from the Chinese ever since the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that happened in Tibet. The media consistently labels it as the “China Quake” when “It is worth noting, for many reasons, that Jyekundo is firmly planted in what was formerly Tibet and the vast majority of the victims are Tibetan.” Thanks for the update Quin. I too labeled it as China until Lin commented a little over a week ago, and straightened that out for us. Thanks Lin. It is amazing the power and the control of mainstream media – we need to dig and constantly dig if we are to get the truth.
My heart goes out to the Tibetans, and I hope that some how, some way that if someone is reading my blog can do something to help, they will.
The Tibetans that died in Jyekundo had the right to die as Tibetans, not as Chinese.
And then the Sudan election. Save Darfur, chimed in yesterday but I am compelled to give my two today. If you haven’t already taken action now is the time to do so. Click here to send a letter to Hillary Clinton. We all know by now how easy it is to rig an election. If it can happen in the United States, you can bet it can happen in other countries with less sophisticated systems. Sudan is one of them. Don’t let the people of sudan down. They are counting on help from Obama and in order for Obama to continue to take a strong stance he needs continual support from us. The Sudanese, not to mention the Darfuris have gone through too much to have to endure another Omar al-Bashir presidency. This vote was not free and fair.
And lastly, another comment from the Ori threatening to give us another ‘natural’ disaster. Just when will peace come to this planet?
What’s up in your minds?
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle
Aka BABE: We all know what this means by now :)
