America and peoples right.

These nuts in the pentagon who couldn’t win a war they created in Iraq wanted to arrest people who live in America in the name of national security. The creation of new agencies one after another though is far from solving the mess we are in. In fact in a rare moment that might have prevent the 9-1-1 attack, the agencies who supposed to follow on leads neglected one of the fattest information ever to land on their desk The problem of creating more agencies rather than strengthen what is already in place is adding more bureaucracy on top of already difficult coordinations the agents having. My concern is though more of how individuals live in liberty if they are getting harrased, arrested or even worst: cracking down on decedents as if they are committed treason; or calling them traitors when they stand for peace and justice. A government who opposed a proposal which emphasis torturing suspected enemy should not be practiced can’t be trusted at all.
"Nacer Fathi Mustafa and his father, American citizens of Palestinian descent, were on their way back home to Florida on Sept. 15, 2001, after a business trip to Mexico. At the Houston airport they were stopped by immigration agents, arrested and charged with altering their passports. The implication was that they had done so because they were terrorists. For 67 days they were held in a Texas jail. Then the government decided that there was nothing wrong with their passports after all. 'What bothered me most,' Nacer Mustafa said in a New York Times interview, 'was at the end, they just said I could go. Nobody ever apologized.'"

"Ali Erikenoglu, an American-born Muslim of Turkish descent, was at home with his family in Paterson, N.J., when four FBI agents knocked at the door late one night a year after 9-11. They had questions for him: Are you anti-Semitic? What kind of American are you? Why do you have a Bible? (He had attended a Catholic high school.) Many Muslims live in Paterson, and Erikenoglu was one of hundreds questioned on the basis of his religion. He told Newsday: 'Not only am I terrified. I am angry. You feel essentially at their mercy. For the first time I felt like I had to justify my innocence.'"

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

When Fracking Came to Suburban Texas

When Fracking Came to Suburban Texas January 01, 2013 "The Guardian" - -The corner of Goldenrod and Western streets, with its grid of modest homes, could be almost any suburb that went up in a hurry – except of course for the giant screeching oil rig tearing up the earth and making the pavement shudder underfoot. Fracking, the technology that opened up America's vast deposits of unconventional oil and gas, has moved beyond remote locations and landed at the front door, with oil operations now planned or under way in suburbs, mid-sized towns and large metropolitan areas. Some cities have moved to limit fracking or ban it outright – even in the heart of oil and gas country. Tulsa, Oklahoma, which once billed itself as the oil capital of the world, banned fracking inside city limits. The ...
