In The News:
Thanks this morning to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the news and commentary audio files.
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the victim of an assassination attempt while talking with constituents at a Tucson Arizona shopping mall is recovering and her condition has been improved to "Serious" from "Critical, but she'
Congress is back in session, and tomorrow the they begin to work on dismantling ObamaCare.
Chinese Premier Jintao Hu will be at the White House tomorrow on a three day visit to the US
The US State Department's restrictions on Cuban immigration, travel, religious work, and studies, along with money transfers, have been eased.
The rule of the Western supported dictator of Tunisia, in power for the last 20 years, has been overthrown and he has allegedly fled to Saudi Arabia as what's left of the Tunisian government attempts to regroup while looting rioting continue.
In Iraq two American soldiers have been killed in Mosul and one on the outskirts of Baghdad. There has also been some general rioting in the Shiite areas of Baghdad.
In Afghanistan, sixteen fuel tankers have been burned on the Southern route through the country even as the Pentagon claims, on Martin Luther King Day, that King would have supported our war on Afghanistan... They are SOOOOOO wrong. Sixty three percent of Americans completely oppose US involvement and 35% of Americans support the continuing occupation... Martin Luther King Jr certainly would NOT be among that latter number.
If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he wouldn't be talking about 'race', he'd be talking about poverty, and endless war.
Indeed, he was starting to do just that, discussing US IMPERIALISM in places like Vietnam, how it affected ALL Americans, and how the money was being spent on war, not ploughshares.... to the detriment of ALL Americans, and global society, for the benefit of a few.
The "Few" were NOT pleased. Dr. King was "Safe" for the White 'moderates' of America compared to Stokely Carmichael, SNCC, and the Black self defense groups springing up throughout the South threatening to take on the KKK and other racist organizatons. These groups consisted of returned/returning Black veterans of America's Imperial wars of the time (Korea and Vietnam), and they WERE deadly serious (Cf. Simon Wendt's "The Spirit and the Shotgun: Armed Resistance and the Struggle for Civil Rights").
Per Wikipedia:"Many white southern segregationists vilified King; moreover, this speech ("Beyond Vietnam") soured his relationship with many members of the mainstream media. Life magazine called the speech "demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi",[80] and The Washington Post declared that King had "diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his people."[84]""...his people"... How... RACIST and DIVISIVE.
Then, despite continual FBI surveillance (and harassment), Reverend King was assassinated by an alleged 'lone gunman'... [In Full]
