Carter the International Grifter

Former US President Jimmy Carter gives the old 'Grifter' signal as he is leaving by the back door of the White House after a morning meeting with current US President Barack Obama in Washington on 18 March 2009.

Since that day, Carter has made his share of trips to the Middle East; especially Israel with the US unscrupulous foreign policies tacked as grib notes to the loop of his belt; instead of the US making their peace with the Muslim and Jews throughout the world and even going so far now to focus or attack Muslim and Jewish youth with this unacceptable behavior.

Doesn’t the US think 109 years of this unscrupulous shady behavior of war, lies and death is enough; apparently, not or did they ever here the phrase, ‘Conquest is futile?”

To yet, the idea, that the Middle East is wise, to a bad US con job and even we know a good Grifter wears a suit.

But as to Carter’s variety of ‘shell game,’ he is an ‘enforce intimidator;’ if something is not going in the direction the US wishes for instance of forcing US democracy ideals on a country that doesn’t wish this form of political system or cram the US brand of Middle East policies down the throat; send Carter.

Crime Actually Doesn't Pay

The Bonnie (Parker) and Clyde (Barrow) car riddled with bullet holes after the ambush on 23 May 1934 on a highway near Sailes, Louisiana by US law enforcement officers; as bank robbers, even they knew they would be eventually caught one day or killed; but they where bent to defy US federal laws and the crime statistics of the 1930’s.

Also, in US history of the 1930’s Great Depression, the ‘Grifter’ was a dime a dozen, from every type of con, bank robbery to racketeering one could imagine, to even by some be romanticized in ‘Americana’ and while this has not actually diminished so much since that time; with the current US financial crisis this type of criminal activity is hitting the status of vogue within the American society once again as it did in the 1930's; which must be keeping the 'bunko' section of the police department, it is assured very busy.

Who's Got the Tar?

There is also a time in US and European history where a person who was very unacceptable would be tar and feathered upon the majority of the person; to be further, either ridden out on a 'rail' (railroad rail) or just forced out of town in this condition, usually by an angry mob. A very unpleasant way of saying, one was not only a criminal or extremely immoral; but tremendously unacceptable or unwelcome in a particular town, city or in Carter‘s case; country.

As to how to apply, the rather warm tar was usually applied first, so the feather's (a lot of chicken feathers were used) would adhere to the person in question. As to the removal, it was very difficult and uncomfortable.

As to where crime leads a person as far as Paradise (Heavens) is concerned, they do not even reach the 'heavily guarded front gate' of the firmament; but yet, the gates to hell is assured to be open and waiting.

Islamophobia Vandalism Hits Southern French City

A policewoman takes pictures of graffiti on the wall of a Muslim prayer room in Toul, eastern France, on 19 August 2009.

Vandals hung a pig's head from the door of a Muslim prayer room in eastern France, daubing the building top to bottom with swastikas and anti-Islamic graffiti, police said today.

A passer-by alerted police Wednesday morning after discovering the pig's head hung from the door and trotters from the shutters of the prayer centre, part of a north African community center on the outskirts of the town of Toul.

The graffiti read : "France to French people, Here is Nazi."

Police and residents stand in front of a Muslim prayer room in Toul, eastern France.

A Muslim resident looks at graffiti on the wall of a Muslim prayer room in Toul, eastern France.

What find’s situations such as this and other forms of intolerance in the last few years one of questions, is due to historically; France did not have such as this within their country, but quite the contrary with such an example of Monarchal alliances made between France and the Middle East. For centuries, there was warm friendliness, between these two parts of the world.

As to the graffiti shown on the building, I can still remember reading of the French underground fighting the Germans during World War 2; to free France from occupation.-HRM Deborah

Nippon Lantern’s of Remembrance

A Nipponese (Japanese) girl prepares to release a paper lantern on the Motoyasu river in remembrance of atomic bomb victims on the 64th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima 6 August 2009. Seen in the background is the gutted A-bomb dome.

The dropping of the first atomic bomb was severely condemned by Pakistani Sunni Muslims yesterday, by the United States for committing such horrendous act upon the people of Nippon (Japan); while something of this nature should not be forgotten, it still should be remember that the only atomic bomb’s ever dropped was only by the United States and no such event has occurred since.

Even in an age, when allegedly there is many of these similar devices; while an initial bombing is devastating, the fall-out half-life causes health effects and other problems for generations; which is still being seen in not just Hiroshima, but also in Nagasaki. Nagasaki was bombed by the United States on 9 August 1945, just three days after Hiroshima.

Previous to these events and ensued into war, the United States had imposed what some had considered as life threatening sanctions upon Nippon (Japan) and afterward an oppressive occupation, which the United States at the time, was calling ‘the rebuilding of Japan.’

Homeless and Starving in America

6 June 2009
by HRM Deborah

As the statistics came out on Friday, 5 June 2009 of US Unemployment reaching a staggering rate of 9.4%; which is about 1.4% higher then the 1930’s Great Depression and even staggering figure has came foreword of 12.4 million US children are at risk of starvation.

Some of these children are being equated of the countless photograph’s seen twenty years ago of what was occurring in Ethiopia of children so underfed that they where literally skin and bones, with the possible borderline of rickets; with some case's of fly’s embedded in some children’s eyes, as was reported by a children’s aid worker.

While some of these malnourished families are now homeless and some are living in homeless shelters; it is an ever increasing problem of not just single person’s; but whole families finding homeless on the street and the ever increasing tent cities.

While US President Barack Obama had pledged assistance by 2015, for the majority of these improvised American’s this is way to late for so many; especially with the further decrease of the American dollar and the ever rising cost of just basic necessities.

Update:

Climbing Unemployment Continues to Beat US

19 June 2009

The unemployment rate in the West jumped over 10 percent in May.

The Labor Department reported Friday that 48 states and the District of Columbia saw employment conditions deteriorate last month. The fallout from the longest ‘recession’ which the US claims in historical error as being “since World War II,” was the worst in Michigan as automakers cut tens of thousands of jobs. Its unemployment rate rose to 14.1 percent. With California at 11.5 and Nevada came in at 11.3 percent it was recorded; while Eastern states set record high's, like Vermont which claimed to be just bottomed out.

As quoted from Associated Press, “Joblessness is rising as companies lay off workers and turn to other cost-saving measures, such as trimming hours and freezing or slicing wages, to survive the recession. Housing, credit and financial problems — the worst since the 1930s — have sent the economy into a tailspin.”

“Factories, construction companies, retailers and financial companies are among the industries that have slashed the most jobs. U.S. manufacturers have suffered a double whammy: customers in the U.S. have pulled back along with foreign customers, who are dealing with their own economic troubles.”

As to US President Barack Obama’s Health Plan which with the ever increasing unemployment problems, because most American’s where covered by their employer and in some cases due to rising cost; employers in some cases dropping employee health care all together; this makes Obama’s plan a major bust, along with the fact that most American’s can not afford health care on their own; especially the elderly who have been suffering with this problem for years, with the ever increase of prescription cost. Which some elderly American’s have had to either pay for prescriptions and not buy food or buy food and do without needed medicines or health care.


The World Health Organization (WHO), in 2000, ranked the U.S. health care system as the highest in cost and it has continued to skyrocket especially in the last year due to the economic downturn, it goes without saying that the average American with the continuous economic collapse and increase, may have to forgo health care all together; which was also a critical situation in the 1930‘s, where home remedies where being more used to circumvent a doctor’s visit or in extreme only for emergency cases, which many still died over the debate of cost and some doctor‘s ill-efficiency.

As to the old argument that one on a good day in the 1930‘s, such as the instance of an American doing farm labor for a dollar a day with "luck" (because this type of employment was either temporary due to seasonal or not as common as people may think due to some US geographical locations); one need’s to remember a single loaf of bread was five cent’s and most people had to squeeze a little less money for the hope of flour to bake their own bread, because the average American even with the dollar wages could ill-afford the five cent loaf of "store-bought" bread. Which is so similar to the cost of living burdens the average American is facing today.

"Beep, Beep, Get out of the way; you road hog!"

Nevertheless, as Obama seems to thrive on his popularity or lack of with his alleged polls especially if people disagree with him; one has yet to be reminded of the promises never kept, the inept manner he has handled the variedness’ of circumstances both global and domestic in such a bumbling Mr. Magoo manner; one is yet, to wonder how he has kept from bumbling out a White House window only to find himself, face down on the lawn?

The Lost Bird that Flew Out the Window

As to US President Barack Obama's claim to ties within the Islamic world because he had family that where Muslim, according to Islamic law the moment he became a Christian all ties where not only broken within the religion of Islam itself, but also his family; due to the fact he is not only classified as a dead person within Islam, but a traitor to the Islamic faithful.

As to Obama's claim of being for anything towards the Islamic world or the Middle East with the US's war-torn foreign policies, has proven to be just as false as though's who came riding in with sword before him.

A Bezalel Islamic Prayer Rug

In the historical Bezalel Jewish tradition, a Islamic Prayer Rug depicting the Menorah; made in Jerusalem, prior 1914.

Bezalel (Exodus 31:1-11) was a leader who constructed and decorated the tabernacle in the wilderness detailed by Divine plan communicated to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Later, the Bezalel Academy was founded in Jerusalem in 1906 by sculptor Boris Schatz; named after the original Bezalel. Their mission was said to develop non charitable useful arts and crafts among Jews within the country, which in turn designs where developed within the scope of all the indigenous inhabitants; which are historically Jewish in origin.

Which some of the inhabitants after the Islamic period, became a people identified as having two religions.

100 Days a Grim Reminder

Obama's 100 days of legacy a grim reminder of the past.

US's Various Shades of the Great Depression Poverty

US President Barack Obama is being compared to former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was a known Nazi financier who not only bankrupted the US in his day to do so; but was a perpetrator with Adolf Hitler that created the Holocaust in Europe with one of the most notorious, barbaric horrendous cases of genocide to ever have occurred in history.

While Americans suffered the most severe poverty, during what was known as the Great Depression; where Roosevelt may have been a great orator towards a New Deal, in reality he cared less for the American welfare. But Nevertheless, Roosevelt bathed in what he considered the luxury persona of the White House; not unlike what the Nazi regime did when they confiscated the finest homes in Europe.

US President Obama looks at a portrait of former assassinated US President John F. Kennedy.

Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas at 12:30 p.m.(CST), on 22 November 1963; which has been considered by many Americans, as the greatest US governmental (internal) conspiracy in American history.

In 1991, director and producer Oliver Stone made a movie called, "JFK;"apparently with this conspiracy premise, in mind.

Around 600 troops attended the US President's address in Baghdad, Iraq; as the Iraqi genocide within the country continues.

Obama Toots His Own Horn

Let’s not forget so soon, of Obama’s over zealousness towards tooting his own horn as far as every facet of the media goes and his public persona; his brashness is most unbecoming.

US Instigated Iraqi Twin Suicide Bombing's Estimated at 58 Murdered

A sheikh prays over the body of a small child killed in a twin US instigated suicide bombing a day before in Baghdad, during its funeral in the southern holy Shia Muslim city of Najaf, some 160 kms south of the capital; on 25 April 2009.

Two US military female suicide bombers struck a major Shia shrine in Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 58 people (More than 150 Iraqi's have died in the past week by hands of the US) amid a brutal spike of US attacks nine weeks before US troops are allegedly to withdraw from Iraqi cities.

This come’s also during a time, when the majority of the Iraqi people wish all foreign military, especially the US to remove immediately all troops from their country and eliminate the extreme genocide occupation upon the Iraqi people.

Clinton: Hillary as Bloodstained as Bill

Clinton to Iraqis: US not going to abandon you

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton addresses representatives of Iraqi civil society and members of the press at a meeting at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, 25 April 2009.

"Let me assure you and repeat what President (Barack) Obama said, we are committed to Iraq, we want to see a stable, sovereign, self-reliant Iraq," she told a nervous but receptive crowd at a town hall meeting at the U.S. Embassy in the capital.

"We are very committed, but the nature of our commitment may look somewhat different because we are going to be withdrawing our combat troops over the next couple of years," Clinton said.

In the White House Shadows of Middle Eastern History

As to the US criminal tactics in Iraq, is the morose repeat of the genocidal tactics that is far to common with the US foreign policy in regards the Middle East for the last hundred and nine years; an attack upon Middle Eastern or Muslim countries perpetrated by lies, which the first influx of the US into the Middle East long ago began with a lie, with the alleged safeguarding of an American that was not an American, but a hoax for oil greed with the first attack upon a honorable descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

The Clinton White House

Chelsea, Hillary and Bill Clinton strolling across the White House lawn in the mid-1990's.

When former US President Bill Clinton was in office, he committed numerous murder’s, attempted murder’s to assassinations of heads of state, which included Jewish Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and HRM Zaytuna of Israel, in 1995 and it has became that current Clinton in office as US secretary; is following in her husband‘s blood pooled footsteps.

The rest of the days of the Clinton White House shook with criminal accusations, such as the Whitewater Scandal (which included Hillary)with throws of impeachment that did seriously for a time bounce about the air; along with the overwhelming womanizing scandals that went not with one in the forefront, but two, with Bill's reminder of him not having relations with that woman falsifications and how did she get a dirty front to her dress-Monica Lewinsky.

To further womanizing allegations that stemmed back to when Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas, with questions towards other unsavory behavior.

Clinton's (little to close) Impropriety: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (L) and Iraqi Prime Minister Hoshyar Zebari, address the media at a press conference in Baghdad, on 25 April 2009.

Let's not forget, the Hillary stand by her womanizing man routine of the time; which has been found to be a woman filled with alcoholism and as a reminder of her on the previous presidential campaign trail of her Saturday drinking bout's which came into the forefront allegedly to try an gain the alcoholic votes, with the accusations of her being a regular American and yet she walks wilth a mud staind hem which is not unfamilar to he husband Bill's problem of an unzipped throws of life.

Clinton takes the oath-of-office as US Secretary of State, administered by Associate Judge Kathryn Oberly as Bill Clinton holds a Christian Bible.

On 21 January 2009 Hillary Clinton became US Secretary of State; amidst questions on some of Bill’s ongoing activities and fundraising endeavors. While Clinton gave the idea’s of reluctance to leave the Senate, it should not be forgotten; if she had become president she would have done so anyway.

With her loosing during the Presidential campaign, then throwing her position towards then Presidential nominee Barack Obama; left many skeptical to her backdoor reasoning or tactics, then with Obama’s wanting her to be US Secretary of State, left more to the imbalance especially with her immoral history thoughout her and her husband Bill's career. To even put the US President Barack Obama’s White House, in extreme scrutiny for choosing such a tainted woman to represent that country.

"Pay the Bonus"

“Keep the Home Fires Burning;" is the song under the photograph, which was a propaganda tune from World War 1. If one also notices the upper part of the newspaper article header, one will also see that the harshness of segregation or racism between white and black American’s was still being enforced during this time period.

The Bonus March on Washington

The self-named Bonus Expeditionary Force was an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers — 17,000 World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups, who protested in Washington, D.C., in spring and summer of 1932. Called the Bonus March by the news media, the Bonus Marchers were more popularly known as the Bonus Army. The war veterans sought immediate cash payment of Service Certificates granted to them eight years earlier via the Adjusted Service Certificate Law of 1924. Each Service Certificate, issued to a qualified veteran soldier, bore a face value equal to the soldier's promised payment, plus compound interest. The problem was that the certificates (like bonds), matured twenty years from the date of original issuance, thus, under extant law, the Service Certificates were un-redeemable until 1945.

The Bonus Army was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant, and was encouraged in their demand for immediate cash-payment redemption of their service certificates by retired U.S.M.C. Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, one of the most popular military figures of the time.

In 1924, over-riding President Calvin Coolidge's veto, Congress legislated compensation for veterans to recognize their war-time suffering: receive a dollar for each day of domestic service, to a maximum of $500; and $1.25 for each day of overseas service, to a maximum of $625. Amounts owed of $50 or less were immediately paid; greater sums were issued as certificates of service maturing in 20 years.

Some 3,662,374 military service certificates were issued, with a face value of $3.638 billion. Congress established a trust fund to receive 20 annual payments of $112 million that, with interest, would finance the $3.638 billion dollars owed to the veterans in 1945. Meanwhile, veterans could borrow up to 22.5% of the certificate's face value from the fund. In 1931, because of the Great Depression, Congress increased the loan value to 50 per cent of the certificate's face value; yet, by April 1932, loans amounting to $1.248 billion dollars had been paid, leaving a $2.36-billion-dollar deficit. Although there was Congressional support for the immediate redemption (payment) of the military service certificates, President Hoover and Republican congressmen opposed that, because it would negatively affect the Federal Government's budget and Depression-relief programs. Meanwhile, veterans organizations pressed the Federal Government to allow the early redemption of their military service certificates.

Original caption: 6/19/1932-Washington, DC- "We need cash not a tombstone, pay the bonus now," says the sign these veterans from Muncie, Indiana display. And the Muncie contingent is just one of the many who say they will remain in the capital until the bonus is paid them.



"I was horrified to see plain evidence of hunger in their faces."

Evalyn Walsh McLean was the wife of the owner of the Washington Post and a pillar of Washington Society. She describes the scene as the Bonus Army first entered Washington and marched past her elegant mansion:

On a day in June, 1932, I saw a dusty automobile truck roll slowly past my house. I saw the unshaven, tired faces of the men who were riding in it standing up. A few were seated at the rear with their legs dangling over the lowered tailboard. On the side of the truck was an expanse of white cloth on which, crudely lettered in black, was a legend, BONUS ARMY.

Other trucks followed in a straggling succession, and. on the sidewalks of Massachusetts Avenue where stroll most of the diplomats and the other fashionables of Washington were some ragged hikers, wearing scraps of old uniforms. The sticks with which they strode along seemed less canes than cudgels. They were not a friendly-looking lot, and I learned they were hiking and riding into the capital along each of its radial avenues; that they had come from every part of the continent. It was not lost on me that those men, passing anyone of my big houses, would see in such rich shelters a kind of challenge.

I was burning, because I felt that crowd of men, women, and children never should have been permitted to swarm across the continent. But I could remember when those same men, with others, had been cheered as they marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. While I recalled those wartime parades, I was reading in the newspapers that the bonus army men were going hungry in Washington.

That night I woke up before I had been asleep an hour. I got to thinking about those poor devils marching around the capital. Then I decided that it should be a part of my son Jock's education to see and try to comprehend that marching. It was one o'clock, and the Capitol was beautifully lighted. I wished then for the power to turn off the lights and use the money thereby saved to feed the hungry.

When Jock and I rode among the bivouacked men I was horrified to see plain evidence of hunger in their faces; I heard them trying to cadge cigarettes from one another. Some were lying on the sidewalks, unkempt heads pillowed on their arms. A few clusters were shuffling around. I went up to one of them, a fellow with eyes deeply sunken in his head.

'Have you eaten?' He shook his head.

Just then I saw General Glassford, superintendent of the Washington police. He said, 'I'm going to get some coffee for them.'

'All right,' I said, 'I am going to Childs'.'

It was two o'clock when I walked into that white restaurant. A man came up to take my order. 'Do you serve sandwiches? I want a thousand," I said. "And a thousand packages of cigarettes.'

'But, lady - '

'I want them right away. I haven't got a nickel with me, but you can trust me. I am Mrs. McLean.'

Well, he called the manager into the conference, and before long they were slicing bread with a machine; and what with Glassford's coffee also (he was spending his own money) we two fed all the hungry ones who were in sight.

...One day Waters, the so-called commander, came to my house and said: 'I'm desperate. Unless these men are fed, I can't say what won't happen to this town.' With him was his wife, a little ninety-three-pounder, dressed as a man, her legs and feet in shiny boots. Her yellow hair was freshly marceled.

'She's been on the road for days,' said Waters, 'and has just arrived by bus.'

I thought a bath would be a welcome change; so I took her upstairs to that guest bedroom my father had designed for King Leopold. I sent for my maid to draw a bath, and told the young woman to lie down.

'You get undressed,' I said, 'and while you sleep I'll have all your things cleaned and pressed.'

'Oh, no,' she said, 'not me. I'm not giving these clothes up. I might never see them again.'

Her lip was out, and so I did not argue. She threw herself down on the bed, boots and all, and I tiptoed out.

That night I telephoned to Vice-President Charlie Curtis. I told him I was speaking for Waters, who was standing by my chair. I said: 'These men are in a desperate situation, and unless something is done for them, unless they are fed, there is bound to be a lot of trouble. They have no money, nor any food.'

Charlie Curtis told me that he was calling a secret meeting of senators and would send a delegation of them to the House to urge immediate action on the Howell bill, providing money to send the bonus army members back to their homes."

Arrival in Washington

The Bonus Army massed at the United States Capitol on June 17 as the U.S. Senate voted on the Patman Bonus Bill, which would have moved forward the date when World War I veterans received a cash bonus. Most of the Bonus Army camped in a Hooverville (transit or homeless Camps named after US President Herbert Hoover, well-known during the 1930’s Great Depression) on the Anacostia Flats, then a swampy, muddy area across the Anacostia River from the federal core of Washington. The camps, built from materials scavenged from a nearby rubbish dump, were tightly controlled by the veterans with streets laid out, sanitation facilities built and parades held daily. To live in the camps, veterans were required to register and prove they had been honorably discharged. The protesters had hoped that they could convince Congress to make payments that would be granted to veterans immediately, which would have provided relief for the marchers who were unemployed due to the Depression. The bill had passed the House of Representatives on June 15 but was blocked in the Senate.

The U.S. Army intervenes

On 28 July, 1932, Attorney General Mitchell ordered the police evacuation of the Bonus Army veterans, who resisted; the police shot at them, and killed two. When told of the killings, President Hoover ordered the U.S. Army to effect the evacuation of the Bonus Army from Washington, D.C.

At 4:45 p.m., commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the 12th Infantry Regiment, Fort Howard, Maryland, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, supported by six battle tanks commanded by Maj. George S. Patton, Fort Myer, Virginia, formed in Pennsylvania Avenue while thousands of Civil Service employees left work to line the street and watch the U.S. Army attack its own veterans. The Bonus Marchers, believing the display was in their honour, cheered the troops until Maj. Patton charged the cavalry against them — an action which prompted the Civil Service employee spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"

After the cavalry charge, infantry, with fixed bayonets and adamsite gas, entered the Bonus Army camps, evicting veterans, families, and camp followers. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River, to their largest camp; President Hoover ordered the Army assault stopped, however, Gen. MacArthur—feeling this free-speech exercise was a Communist attempt at overthrowing the U.S. Government—ignored the President and ordered a new attack. Hundreds of veterans were injured, several were killed — including William Hushka and Eric Carlson; a veteran's wife miscarried; and many other veterans were hurt.

The Posse Comitatus Act — forbidding civilian police work by the U.S. military — did not apply to Washington, D.C., because it is the federal district directly governed by the U.S. Congress (U.S. Constitution, Article I. Section 8. Clause 17). The exemption was created because of an earlier "Bonus March". In 1781, most of the Continental Army was demobilized without pay, two years later, in 1783, hundreds of Pennsylvania war veterans marched on Philadelphia, surrounded the State House wherein Congress was in session, and demanded their pay. The U.S. Congress fled to Princeton, New Jersey, and, several weeks later, the U.S. Army expelled the war veterans back to home, out of the national capital.

An infant, Bernard Myers, later died in the hospital after the incident but reports indicated the death was not caused by the evacuation of the BEF.

Casualties and Losses

All told their where 4 dead and as many as 1,017 marchers and family injured, with at least 69 police injured.

Aftermath

Following his election, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not want to pay the bonus early either, but handled the veterans with more skill. In March 1933, Roosevelt issued an executive order allowing the enrollment of 25,000 veterans in the Civilian Conservation Corps for work in forests. When they marched on Washington again in May 1933, he sent his wife Eleanor to chat with the vets and pour coffee with them, and she persuaded many of them to sign up for jobs making a roadway to the Florida Keys, which was to become the Overseas Highway, the southernmost portion of U.S. Route 1. On September 2, the disastrous Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 killed 258 veterans working on the Highway. After seeing more newsreels of veterans giving their lives for a government that had taken them for granted, public sentiment built up so much that Congress could no longer afford to ignore it in an election year (1936). Roosevelt's veto was overridden, making the bonus a reality.

Holy Ground in Jerusalem

Islam's Dome of the Rock and Judaism's Western Wall, with worshipers; during a beautiful, pleasant Jerusalem evening.

While Jerusalem is not just the center of the earth, a place with the bond of two religions, nor is it just my home city; not even a place that is considered to just have to do with peace, but the original foundation was built with love, not just by Allah (Hashem, G-d) Himself; but my ancestor’s, who actually built the city so long ago with the faith that their would always be happiness there, among all who dwell within her.

While this city is a very holy place and is the center of Allah’s (Hashem’s, G-d‘s) throne; there is many aspects of this place, that is sometimes not always thought of; but can still be known by the ancient writing’s, for there is so much to this city, then can be seen in a single glance of the human eyes.

Jerusalem is the one city that celestial being’s do dwell there and have done so for centuries, as well as other's appear.-HRM Deborah

Japan’s Sanctions and US War of Occupation

For the Honorable People of Nippon

Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989)

In Japanese mythology, the origins of the imperial family are believed to be a direct descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasau.

In 1946, as a term for peace with the US, Emperor Hirohito had to declare that he was not a god or relinquish according to Shinto teachings of being a living spirit (Kami).

According to Shinto belief’s, the emperor is considered a living god, was seen as the symbolic and literal father of the family of the Japanese people.

US Occupation in Government

From 1945 until 1952 under US President Harry S. Truman, Japan was occupied by the US formally; which they where further forced to change the Japanese government system, with a democratic constitution to gain some resemblance of Independence; also creating limited power to any emperor.

6 August 1945, Hiroshima

Hiroshima was hit by the US with the dropping of an atomic bomb where most of the city was destroyed and while the estimated death toll varies it is estimated at 140,000 civilian deaths.

Then on 9 August, a second US atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, which with this bombing the death toll was estimated at 80,000 civilian deaths.

The health effects of these two atomic blast’s are still causing numerous health conditions within the generations and with these two atomic blast’s where the first recorded use of any type atomic bomb.

War and US Sanctions

What brought Japan into war to begin with was a severity of sanctions imposed on them by the US government under then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Which in 1940, US banned the sale of fuel (oil), iron and steel from entering Japan; extending to a total ban by 1941.

These imposed sanctions on Japan especially towards oil supply caused Japan an overwhelming concern over the very survival of their country. Within this sever situation, General Tojo Hideki made a decision to go to war; on 7 December 1941, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked, sinking the American fleet there.

From here Japan spread out to what became known as the entering of World War 2.

US Continued Imposed Occupation and Cultural Changes

As to the first US or Western changes to the Japanese culture occurred during the formal occupation between 1945 until 1952, with the influx of overbearing, morally uncouth US GI’s and this occupation system is still informally occurring even today; with continued oppressive injection by the US government.

It should be further expressed, while the English word of occupation for this country is Japan; the actual name of this country is called, Nippon in the language of the country.

The mushroom cloud of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan in 1945 rose some 18 kilometers (11 miles) above the bomb's hypocenter.

When the US was in collaboration and financing Nazi German, they also where receiving certain technology; especially by scientist’s in creation of Atomic factors. With one Nazi German scientist in particular, who was borrowed from Germany into the US, the creation of the atomic bomb came about.

The first test explosion and just prior to the attack on Japan occurred at a location 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what is now White Sands Missile Range, headquartered near Alamogordo; on 16 July 1945 and the test was named "Trinity."

Leave it the US Gangster

Alphonse "Al" Capone

The history of the drive-by-shooting began in the hey-day of the 1920’s Alcohol Prohibition Gangster Era, with such infamous people for example as Al Capone; towards rival gangster outfit’s over control of the illegal alcohol industry and another crime usually associated with these type of criminal’s for the same reason’s or in some case’s people not wishing to deal with the gangster’s where bombing’s; such as store bombing’s because they did not wish to sell under-the-counter bootleg or problems within places known as "Speakeasies" which served illegal Alcohol to customer’s and some of the more luxurious, included nightclub style acts and was also known as the days of 'bathtub gin;" where a poor grade sometimes deadly form of consumer style alcohol was actually made in a bathtub.

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre was used by Al Capone' to eliminated his enemies.

There were also, numerous premeditated murders such as the famous one of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, by order's of Al Capone.

A Speakeasy, the song, “Puttin’ on the Ritz” became very popular within these type of illegal establishment’s.

With the repeal of the Alcohol Prohibition Act, these types of crimes seemed to die down some what; until World War 2; when the US military started again to use drive-by-shooting as a military tactic, which is still used today by the US military in such places as Iraq and Afghanistan, towards civilians and similar target’s.

As to the Middle East, the method of the drive-by-shooting is foreign and has only been seen by the original influence of the US.

The next time drive-by-shooting’s came into vogue, was in the 1970’s, when street gang’s appeared on the scene in the US; with such thing’s as drug wars and fighting for neighborhood turf or what became known as “Turf Wars.” Such street gang’s known that originated in California in there earlier years, which the two gang’s known as the “Blood’s and Crip’s” used this type of criminal method in their gang wars, frequently.

So the drive-by-shooting idea and the origin of the drive-by-shooting, is from the United States.

Off the Record: The California Dream

Come to California
There are jobs of plenty
And land is cheap.
Every working man can have his own house and inside every house a happy all-American family.
You can have all this and who knows…you may even be discovered…become a movie star or at least see one.
Life is good in California...It is paradise on earth…that is what they tell you, anyway. Because they are selling and image…they’re selling it through movies, radio and television.

You think California was the Garden of Eden, but the underbelly always has had its serpent, with felony crime, corruption, prostitution and drugs.

Just as the clean fresh face Mid-Western girl’s who got of the bus in plenty, with star’s glittering in their eye’s with the hope of becoming that next big movie star and as far as she ever got on a Hollywood lot of fame and fortune; is some director’s office sofa or ending up along prostitution row, only to die from a drug over-dose, other unmentionables; to ending up on some vacant lot dead, all cut up like Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia) and this was her only walk to fame’s headlines of the butchering, with no solid lead of the killer.

A mug shot of Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia) by Santa Barbara police, after her arrest for underage drinking, on 23 September 1943; prior to her murder.

Or those fresh faced young men stepping of the bus from who knows where, with the same star twinkles in their eyes and end up a slap boy for some up and coming politician or lawyer; slapped and tickled homosexual play toy. To later, be tossed away on some trumped-up charge like a ‘kiddy rapper beef;’ heading for (San) Quentin or the “Q;” with yet, just the possibility of just getting their throat sliced from ear to ear.

But less we forget, it was all done with champagne luxury style…which in reality until the economic bust, California became one of the most expensive states to live in; other then New York City….so let’s keep this on the GT and very Hush-Hush with the same old tabloid rag.

Places called “Hoovervilles,” named after former US President Herbert Hoover sprang up during the Great Depression as people lost their jobs and homes; besides the shanty towns, there where an overwhelming amount of what was called “transit camp’s,” which many consisted of nothing more then tent cities. In 2009, American’s are living in what is now being termed as “Obamavilles;” after current US President Barack Obama.

Obamaville: The tents and other makeshift homes have sprung up in the shadow of Sacramento's skyscrapers

Today, tents are once again springing up in the city of Sacramento. But this time it is for people with no hope and no prospects.

Obamaville: The tent city is already home to dozens of people, many left without jobs because of the credit crunch

Those who have lost their jobs and homes and have nowhere else to go are constructing makeshift shelters on the site, which covers several acres.

As many as 50 people a week are turning up and the authorities estimate that the tent city is now home to more than 1,200 people.

In a state more known for its fantastic wealth and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, the images have shocked many Americans.

Conditions are primitive, with no water supply or proper sanitation.

Many residents have to walk up to three miles to buy bottled water from petrol stations or convenience stores.

At other times, charity workers arrive to hand out free food and other supplies.

Joan Burke, who campaigns on behalf of the homeless, said the images of Americans living in tents would shock many.

'It should be an eye- opener for everybody,' she said. 'But we shouldn't just be shocked, we should take action to change things, because it's unacceptable.

'It is unacceptable that in this day and age we have gone back to a situation like we had during the Great Depression.'

Authorities in Sacramento, where Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who's family in Austria where of the Nazi Party at Adolph Hitler’s height of in fame; at his office, admit the sight of families living in such poverty is not pretty.

The city's mayor Kevin Johnson said: 'I can't say tent cities are the answer to the homeless population in Sacramento, but I think it's one of the many things that should be considered and looked at.'

Foreclosure rates last year rocketed by 327 per cent, with up to 500 people a day losing their home.

Coupled with massive job cuts that have seen one in ten workers laid off, many people who once enjoyed a middle class existence are now forced into third world conditions.

Former car salesman Corvin and his wife Tena are among the newest residents of the tent city.

Obamaville: Tent city residents queue up to receive supplies handed out by a local charity

The couple, who are in their fifties, lost their home and jobs around the same time.

With homeless shelters full in Sacramento, they had little choice but to use what savings they had left to buy a tent.

The couple admit they have yet to tell their grown-up children about their hand-to-mouth existence.

Tena said: 'I have a 35-year-old son, and he doesn't know. I call him, about once a month and on holidays, to let him know that I'm well and healthy.

Many of those who have found themselves homeless worked in the building trade.

But with no new home builds and as many as 80,000 people losing their job every month, there is little chance of employment.

'He would love me anyway, but I don't want to worry him.'

US President Barack Obama jaunts jubilantly on stage as he arrives to speak about education at the 19th Annual Legislative Conference of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington, 10 March 2009. The song under the photograph above was called. “Where in the Money,” which came out in 1933 as a propaganda tune in retrospect as a mockery of how dire the condition’s actually where during the Great Depression. The song was first featured in the film called; “The Gold Digger’s of 1933” and was presented by a chorus line of scanty dressed women.

As these tent cities will continue to grow in the weeks, months and years ahead with no prosperity in sight. US President Barack Obama’s previous stimulus package fund’s finding its way out of the country for such thing’s as there terrorism genocide increase and troop build-up in Afghanistan or to fund various military contracts for their global initiatives on they’re domination projects for example or for such pet projects as $1.8 million for swine odor and manure management research in Iowa, $2 million to promote astronomy in Hawaii and $381,000 for music programs at New York City’s Lincoln Center.

But yet, the American people have to stand and wait and wonder what sorrows will still becoming there way, as the poverty problem continues to balloon somewhere out past the stratosphere.

Update:

13 March 2009

As to the Obamaville’s in Sacramento which are seen in the above photograph's, it has been reported while these camps are acquiring 50 to 100 people a day with no other place to live or no other foreseeable place to go; that US President Barack Obama’s solution for these particular camps was to order the city of Sacramento to evict all these tent resident’s from their present location.

As to the present living conditions which are deployable and unsafe health hazard with no sanitation or water for instance and having to in most instances to cook over dug holes made into a type of grill to cook what ever a person can"hope to find," instead of Obama helping these American’s; he has found a way to increase their misery.

These camps are also being considered worse, than any fourth world country.

Nevertheless, as to the US commenting of being a safe investment in the world, is nothing but arrogance; as the country plummet’s further into despair.

“The Bank Owns It”

In this 23 February 2009 file photo, a bank owned sign blows in the wind in front of a home; in Antioch, California.

During the 1930’s Great Depression with the overwhelming amount of foreclosures of not just homes, but farms; it became as a deluge of hardship for the banking system along with financial runs by customer’s to the point; that it was common to see a closed sign on a bank that had failed.

The phrase, “The Bank Owns It;” was a common thing said during the 1930’s Depression as a former owner stood outside there yard because it became illegal to enter his former property, in part because of the sorrow of the former homeowner or a passerby damaging the property as it lay silent for no one could afford to claim or buy the property with the overwhelming amount of unemployment and no one had a dime.

This was also during the time that the American Nazi Parties where on the Adolph Hitler “goose-step” march, as such people as former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt was not just financing the “Final Solution;” along with Prescott Bush (grandfather to former US President George W. Bush), with many others giving the Nazi global domination handshake and waving the 'iron' flag at rallies.

Jewish Holocaust, also known as “Final Solution”

Then as the US government plummeted deeper into the financial and political global domination devastating destruction Jewish Holocaust abyss; we got the propaganda version about face; of World War two.

As the United States in 2009, stands at the threshold of this stand still of that time of ‘dust bowl tears;’ as a forgotten home owner see’s his lost home being racked with the weather and to say, “The bank owns it!”

As always, the US is on the march bankrupting their own country and the world, as the death toll globally continues to climb into triple digit record numbers; as the Jewish and Islamic people watch the death viewed around them from the US strangling grip and the global community watches the bread being grabbed from there very mouth‘s, by US Uncle Sam's hands.
