Yesterday, you stated the following about Bernie Sanders’s record on fighting for civil rights in the 1960s:
“I never saw him. I never met him. I was chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963 to 1966. I was involved with the sit-ins, the Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, the march from Selma to Montgomery and directed (the) voter education project for six years. But I met Hillary Clinton. I met President (Bill) Clinton.”
Last year I wrote a report about “The Internment of Society” and current events drove me to provide an encore. Please read the blog understanding that automation is going to make more than half of our current occupations obsolete, thus unemployment will be like never before n modern times.
The Internment of Society
Slavery in the United States resulted in deplorable treatment of captive Africans during the 17th, 18th and 19th century and at times it seems evil, greedy folks in society could utilize recessions and depressions in the world’s economic cycles to bring it back. As the middle class shrinks and descends into the ranks of the poor who else is best equipped to thrive in bad times.
This is a compilation of roughly 800 actual or suspected FEMA Camp locations. These locations are, or could be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.
This perspective may appear radical and improbable until you review current events in Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) — The Honolulu City Council has approved several measures that ban sitting and lying down on sidewalks in a popular area of Hawaii and urinating and defecating in public on the island of Oahu.
The bills aimed at moving homeless people out of tourist hotspots were approved in a meeting Wednesday.
The council was under pressure from the tourism industry. Hotel representatives say visitors complain about safety and defecation.
Critics say the proposals will criminalize homelessness.
Councilman Breene Harimoto, who voted against most of the bills, says the council is helping the public view homeless people as objects to be swept away.
The city also is planning a temporary legal campsite on a remote, mostly industrial island far from resorts, parts of which were previously used as an internment camp and former dump.
Internment camps are nothing new and as in Hawaii when it is deemed appropriate the government will round up their citizens and put them in camps, but not like Hitler did or not as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson envisioned either.

The newly published documents reveal the actual workings of the Fusion Centers – created ostensibly to coordinate anti-terrorism efforts following the September 11, 2001, attacks – in collecting and providing surveillance information on peaceful protestors.

The Hidden Role of the Fusion Centers in the Nationwide Spying Operation against the Occupy Movement and Peaceful Protest in America
by Mara Verheyden-Hilliard and Carl Messineo
of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund
The new documents roll back the curtain on the Fusion Centers and show the communications, interactions and emails of a massive national web of federal agents, officials, police, and private “security” contractors to accumulate and share information, reporting on all manner of peaceful and lawful political activity that took place during the Occupy Movement from protests and rallies to meetings and educational lectures. This enormous spying and monitoring apparatus included the Pentagon, FBI, DHS, police departments and chiefs, private contractors and commercial business interests.
There is now, with the release of these documents, incontrovertible evidence of systematic and not incidental conduct and practices of the Fusion Centers and their personnel to direct their sights against a peaceful movement that advocated social and economic justice in the United States. It bears noting also that while these 4,000 pages offer the most significant and largest window into the U.S. intelligence and law enforcements’ coordinated targeting of Occupy, they can only be a portion of what is likely many more tens of thousands of pages of materials generated by the nationwide operation.” http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2014/05/exposed-out-from-shadows.html
It’s National Novel Writing Month, and James and I are mixing it up a bit. We are taking the nontraditional route for NaNoWriMo.
We have currently completed The City-State Anthology, and we are anxiously awaiting cover art. This is an exciting event in itself! And of course, James and I will share the upcoming cover designs. But as we wait…
We have been working on a trilogy entitled StarChild for a little over two years (the anthology is a precursor to the trilogy). Therefore, our NaNo hours will be spent writing and editing the first novel in the trilogy entitled StarChild. Yes, everything occurs within The Nation of City-State.
Most of the prewriting and background work is complete, and James and I are not starting from scratch – hence the “rogue-ish” element to NaNoWriMo.
So yes, we welcome NaNoWriMo – but in a more rebellious nature.
When I did the research for my latest book ‘Where Lies My Heart’, part of which is set in Africa, I was appalled to learn that Sudan is one of the worse countries in the world for modern slavery.
This is not a new thing by any means. Slavery in Sudan started in ancient times, and continues to the present day. Since 1995, many human rights organisations have reported on this practice, especially in the context of the second Sudanese civil war. Both the government-backed militias and the rebels have been found guilty of abducting civilians.

Mary Anne Grady Flores, a 58-year-old grandmother of three, was sentenced to a year in jail after photographing an anti-drone protest outside a military base near her home. While she waits on appeal, Grady Flores and her fellow protestors speak on the dangers of drone warfare, the right to dissent, and what she’ll do next. http://mashable.com/

I slipped into my seat, the darkened room concealing my embarrassed attempts to merge into the shadowy forms of Birmingham’s spotty youth. An old dear, clad in colourful leggings and Dr Marten boots, wishing she were eighteen years old and not a product of the jowls of middle-age. The film began and the audience and I disappeared.
I confess…I have never read best selling dystopian, YA novel, Divergent. Thus, watching the film on Wednesday I entered this particular post-apocalyptic realm for the first time. Seduced by the propaganda surrounding the novel and the film, were my expectations fulfilled? Divergent is a masterpiece of formulaic invention. A perfect crafting and unison of the conventions of two of the most popular literary genres. It works…and it appeals to something within many of us. To the young, it reflects a desire for self-expression, to be recognised as the individuals they truly are. To…
On a Monday afternoon late last month, a young woman with a green head scarf walked onto a public bus in the Russian city of Volgograd, went to the back, and sat down on the seat beside the ticket-taker. Passenger Irina Kushnir, 31, could not help staring at the woman. “I noticed her immediately, right when I was paying my fare,” she later told reporters. “She had a lovely green scarf around her head. She was looking out the window, acting calm, not drawing any attention to herself.” A moment later, the woman in the pretty green head scarf would fly into the air, behind the bodies of six people and sending more than 30 to the hospital. The ticket-taker would end up in the emergency ward, while the suicide bomber, Naida Asiyalova, who was a few days from her 31st birthday, would die.
