Free Leonard Peltier

Leonard Peltier is a Lakhota warrior who was falsely charged and imprisoned for the killing of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. Many have charged that the FBI was complicit in the reign of terror that followed the American Indian Movement’s occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973 that resulted in the murders of some 60 traditional Lakhota and AIM activists during that time. Those murders, perpetrated by the Goon Squads led former tribal chairman Dickie Wilson and paid for with Federal money that should have been used to aid the desperately poor traditional Lakhota on Pine Ridge, have never been investigated. Last year, NPR reported that the case has been re-opened http://www.npr.org/2012/08/18/159058219/near-wounded-knee-years-of-alleged-injustice which may lead to the indictment and prosecution of those responsible for the violence against AIM and its traditionalist supporters.

Leonard Peltier has been named as a political prisoner by Amnesty International. You can read the entire compelling story in Peter Matthiesen’s compelling “In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,” reviewed by Harvard law professor and noted civil libertarian Alan Dershowitz, here: http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/11/23/home/matthiessen-crazyhorse.html. There is also a documentary about these events, “Incident at Oglala,” directed by Michael Apted and produced and narrated by Robert Redford. You can watch the entire movie for free on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4izazh10qbs.

It is long past time to free Leonard Peltier and lock up the real criminals.

Hoka Hey!

Native women are murdered at 10 times the national rate; 1 out 3 Native women will be raped in her lifetime, and 3 out of 5 physically assaulted. Even worse, 88% of the perpetrators are non-Indian and cannot be prosecuted by tribal governments. Stand and take action now to restore safety and justice for Native women. Do Something!

Hey, did you know Border Patrol agents are fond of destroying the food and water caches left in the desert crossing so people don’t die of hunger and thirst?

179 people died crossing between Mexico and Arizona last year, where this happened.

Way to contribute to the deaths of innocent people, sworn officers of the American government!

Stay classy, America.

Because fighting illegal immigration requires dehydrating and sending people to their death. Morality for the win.

Student expelled from college for being a lesbian, forced to repay scholarship funds

Student expelled from college for being a lesbian, forced to repay scholarship funds:

gaywrites:

A conservative Christian college in Omaha expelled a student one semester before her graduation when they found out she was a lesbian — and then demanded she repay them for scholarship funds she had earned.

Grace University has refused to transfer Danielle Powell’s credits to another school unless she pays $6,300, the tuition from her spring semester in 2011, when administrators found out she was gay. Powell would have been the first in her family to earn a college degree.

Michael James, executive vice president at Grace University, justified the college’s actions to The Huffington Post, affirming that its student handbook forebade “sexually immoral behavior.” Quoting from the handbook, James stated:

“Any student involved in sexually immoral behavior, including premarital sex, adultery, and homosexual acts, is at minimum placed on University probation and may be subject to a Judiciary Hearing.”

Powell and her wife started a petition to get Grace University to drop its demands. (By the way, they’re the couple who got engaged onstage at a Macklemore concert — watch the video!) She deserves better than this. Help her out?

Central Shanghai is undoubtedly a gorgeous city, but it is at night that one is truly treated to its breathtaking beauty, particularly in Pudong. Look for more shots in the near future, with more time and better equipment (a tripod); but for now, enjoy the few I managed to snap

Know What you are Eating!

GUMMI CANDIES - What are they made of?

In case you were wondering gummies or jelly sweets are a broad, general type of Gelatin-based Chewy Candy along with mixture of sugar, glucose syrup, starch, flavouring, food colouring, citric acid.

GELATIN is a translucent, colorless, odorless, and nearly tasteless substance that is made by prolonged boiling of skin, cartilage and bones from animals. It’s made primarily from the stuff meat industries have left over - we’re talking about pork skins and cattle bones. Yummy!! (Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin)

If this is news to you, it may shed new light on your Great Aunt’s Jell-O mold or Gummy Bear and Candies. And if you love eating chewy candy, you may think twice before chowing down on those gummy worms.
