Bahameen: It doesn’t surprise me that the people of Iran, as well as other countries, are being blocked from my blog, again. This was sent to me by one of my readers who couldn’t post the other day. The topic is so important I wanted to post this article for her.
Again, the abuse that women of the world go through is just atrocious. What men will do to continue to keep women down and in their control, has reached higher levels. It is no longer about slavery and abuse, which is bad enough. Now men are, in my mind, attempting mass murder by poisoning young girls.
Taliban suspected of sickening female Afghan students
(CNN) — Afghan authorities will investigate the sudden illness of students and staff at three schools in the past week in northern Afghanistan, the Afghan Human Independent Rights Commission said on Sunday. Local doctors suggested the Taliban may be the perpetrators of possible poison attacks.
“During the last seven days three cases of poisoning [have] occurred in Kunduz Province,” said Syed Karim Talash, the director of the commission office in the province.
At least 88 girls and teachers became ill in separate cases at three girls’ schools.
The cause of the illnesses was not known, but Talash said poison gas was suspected.
“It is really big concern for us, and big concern for the family of the girls,” Talash said.
Dr. Mohammad Qasam Khamoosh, who treated girls from two schools, said “unknown gases” were responsible for the mass illnesses.
These are “terrorist activities against education in the country,” he said.
Girls were not allowed to attend school during the Taliban‘s rule. Girls’ schools have been open in the region since 2001.
Khamoosh said authorities were able to gather a sample of the gas, which has been sent off for testing.
Kunduz province has seen a drastic influx in terrorist activity, particularly by the group known as Hizb-e-Islami, led by the notorious leader Gulbudeen Hekmatyar. It’s an independent group that has increasingly worked under the Taliban umbrella in recent years.
Readers: I don’t know how these women endure. All I can say is how strong willed they must be; they have to be, to continually fight for their lives….their safety and well-being. These actions that these horrible men take do not break these women down. No, on the contrary. As much as I pray to see these atrocities come to an end, the more these women endure, the stronger these women get. The men may think they’re breaking them down, but they are not.
Bahameen: Know that you and the other girls are on my mind and you will continue to be supported. I am sure any one of you would make an amazing girlz, and I look forward to the day when you and others will join me if you chose. Be well and stay strong.
Brian: Thanks for encouraging me and my readers to take action against Goldman Sachs. If you or anyone else wants to sign Bold Progressives petition to launch a criminal investigation of Goldman along with other wall streeters, as well as calling your representatives, I’ve made it easy – click here.
Hi Helena: Nice to hear from you again (?) It is a little disconcerting isn’t it? I was just thinking today, again, how I have to filter through so much junk to get to the good stuff, and then to have to decipher if what I think is actually good, or if someone is just trying to scam me. It is never ending; there are days where I wish e-mail wasn’t such a major tool of communication.
Anna, Peter: You both have been so committed to posting information on my blog for your peeps, I feel like it is just as much your blog as it is mine. Obviously your work has helped spread the word. I too hope that the Catholic church will be held accountable for the allegations of some of it’s clergy and those ‘butt bandits’ will pay a price. I do believe that your consistent actions in this area, (and others!) deserve some of the credit to say the least, in bringing and keeping these horrific atrocities in the light.
Hello Mike: Don’t worry. If your persistency pays off, more power to you.
Shirley: Many people read my blog strictly for the health tips. I think this was a good one to post – Thanks.
Marie: Your diary is very amusing. Love the toothbrush bit. Can’t wait to hear about the other ‘crap’. :)
Selvig: You’re right; it is repulsive. I hope that you’ll express your views to all of your friends, Republicans included. Everyone needs to stand up and against this.
Lloyd: Your guess is as good as mine. Like many other things in life, timing is everything. Keep trying. :)
Kids in Church: Cute. On both accounts.
Justin: Thanks for your two. Literally. :)
Fred: Thanks too for your article.
Hi Sonja: I’m sure you are aware that your link wasn’t there, but here it is for those interested. :)
Daemon: Surprisingly, I am actually aware of the financial situation in Greece. I won’t pretend to understand it all, as I am no economist. I hope that the situation improves.
Maurice: All I can do is laugh at your comment; it is just so silly. Love it -You may not be joking but I’m sure Aquatic rat fur for some men would be quite appropriate. In regards to your question: I have no idea.
John: Nice to hear from you again. No, Mr Hawking and I did not have a conversation, although I would’ve like to. So yes, it does seem more than just a coincidence doesn’t it? ‘Just noticing’…Perhaps like many others who are reading my blog and attempting to lift material, he too has been reading and getting ideas. I am not accusing him of anything, but your comment, as well as Suzy’s does make me think. Thanks. Now I am very curious to see his documentary. Hello to Connie and her women’s club. :)
Doug: Obviously they haven’t gotten a clue yet. Perhaps an Aquatic rat fur vest would help.
Readers: With all of the political powwow going on, did anyone partake in Camp OFA in your community? I went on Sunday and it was very exciting and informative. I have joined two community groups, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with other like-minded peeps in ensuring a successful election in November. And let’s have some fun too – okay?
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,

Aka BABE: We all know what this means by now :)
