#BrownLivesMatter - Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day (The Real Reason Why The US Won't Recognize It As a Genocide)

4/24 commemorates the deportation of Armenian intellectuals on 24 April 1915 from Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey).

235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals were arrested that day. Eventually 2,345 prominent Armenian leaders were detained.

The event has been described by historians as a decapitation strike, which was intended to deprive the Armenian population of leadership and a chance for resistance.

These detainees were later relocated within the Ottoman Empire. Most of them ended up murdered by the government.

This was just the beginning. Eventually 1.5 million Armenians were rounded up, men, women, children, and the elderly...

...and systematically murdered in forced death marches through the Syrian desert and in concentration camps.

Barack Obama Promised That When He Was President The US Would Finally Recognize What Happened As a Genocide.

But he never kept his word.

Apparently recognizing a well documented historical crime that happened 100 years ago would be too embarrassing for the modern government of Turkey, an important US military ally in the region.

So the reason the White House won't recognize all those brown people's deaths, is so it can keep killing brown people in the Middle East from bases in Turkey.

And wouldn't it be weird for the Washington regime to recognize the Armenian Genocide, after more than half a century of activities that have directly or indirectly led to the slaughter of millions of people in the Middle East? Humanizing people in the Middle East would only hurt Washington's agenda.

Barack Obama Tattoos

With Barack Obama's approval ratings still at a solid 62%, I became suddenly curious to know how popular the 44th U.S. President really is. Are people so enamoured with President Obama that I could do a quick Google search and turn up some photos of people with permanent tattoos of Obama inked into their very skin? Oh yeah. It's that bad. Below are ten examples of Barack Obama tattoos (some decent, some pretty awful). PS: As a control, I decided to Google "bush tattoos." I found only two examples in the first couple pages, and they were decidedly anti-Bush. I also learned to never, ever Google "bush tattoos" again. Seriously. Don't. There are some gross tattoos out there. In the interests of full disclosure, I must admit that I am not a fan of President Obama . But I've got to say that the tattoos above aren't nearly as bad as this: Editor's note: The pictures are linked to their respective sources. To view the source pages, simply click ...

Legal Marijuana On The Michigan Ballot for 2018

A Michigan ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana received enough valid signatures to qualify for a vote in November. When the required number of ballot signatures was certified by the State Board of Canvassers, the 4-0 decision of the board was met by cheers from supporters of the initiative who were present, the Detroit Free Press reports . Rick Thompson, a board member of the Michigan National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), put this ballot initiative in perspective as a matter of the State of Michigan safeguarding its own sovereignty and protecting its own citizens from an intrusive federal policy: "The people of Michigan deserve this. They earned it. We've faced many trials and tribulations. We've had so many stop and go signs from the federal government. That's why states have to take the reins on the issue and really be the crucibles of democracy that they've always been intended to be." Indeed the last time ...

What I did on the ten year anniversary of 9-11

During my brief trip to Korea, on the ten year anniversary of 9-11, I did exactly what the terrorists didn't want me to do: I lived without anxiety. I lived without regrets. I lived without fear. I let nothing intimidate me. I let my soul be still. I laughed with my friends. I tried something new. I marveled at nature. I sang at the top of my lungs... badly. My heart was at ease, because I spent all day knowing that for me, this day and every one that preceded it for the last decade was not about the terrorists, but about loving my life, the world I live it in, and the people with whom I am so lucky to share this world. The best memorial I could offer for so many thousands murdered ten years ago, was to ignore their murderers, live without terror in my heart, and in its place let blossom joy.
