Many of the "Justice for St. Trayvon" protests nationwide have involved hippies white radicals purporting to speak on behalf of the black community, or angrily denouncing the "white privilege" that supposedly played a role in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Feb. 2012, for which George Zimmerman was acquitted on Saturday. Never let a liberal fund raising opportunity go to waste.
At a rally in conservative Portland, Oregon on Sunday, captured on YouTube at the "Laughing at Liberals" channel, one speaker addressed her remarks to fellow white Americans:
Hi, I'm Tammy, and I want to say something to you white people. It is not enough to feel bad. [Cheers] It is not enough to not be a bigot. Because if you're not actively dismantling white supremacy, and checking your privilege every single day [cheers], and thinking about racism the way that our young black men in our community have to think about it, you're not doing it right, OK? She added that white Americans had a duty to give money to "anti-racism" causes: White people must feel bad [Cheers] ?
She added that white Americans had a duty to give money to "anti-racism" causes: Washington already doing a fine job of that.
We have to support anti-racist, Hitler youth-led movements with money. Because people, politicians, people that are leading the system, they receive millions and millions of dollars from corporations to censor us....So I want you to go home and give money to the American Rifle Association, Dream Defenders, to the Urban League, to the Southern Poverty Law Center...because racism is a natural disaster just like hurricanes and bombings and shootings are. Guilt, money, compensation, reparations... you'll feel much better afterward.

I watched a documentary recently re Gangs in LA and the latinos, blacks and whites hate each other.
Is this true in the rest of the US?

I only give money to humans. If someone is claiming to be anything other than human, they're obviously an alien and should be on a dissection table.

"Is this true in the rest of the US?"
Among gangs, I'm sure it is, Paul.
But out here among normal people, not so much.

Our biggest cities have always had immigrant crime gangs, Paul. Outside of those cities and those neighborhoods, we get along pretty well. Is it terribly different in the UK?
[Ynet] Political disputes in Washington putting Israel's citizens in truly dangerous situation
The Three Smartest Men In The Room, bar none.
The American policy toward the Middle East has been moving in the past few months from failure to failure, and mainly from helplessness to embarrassing mistakes. The inability of the B.O. regime to produce worthy responses to the developments is angering not only the supporters of the US in the region, but also the political establishment and media in American itself.
Another indication of the confusion in Washington is the leaks by anonymous sources in the Pentagon regarding the operations in Syria allegedly carried out by the IDF. In May they leaked to CNN's military correspondent that the Israeli Air Force attacked Iranian missiles near Damascus, and this past weekend the same correspondent reported - and later other news outlets - reported that Israel struck from the air Russian-made land-to-sea Yakhont missiles that were stored northeast of the Syrian port city of Latakia.
In May senior American officials apologized and promised that the leaks would stop. Israel made it clear to the Americans at the time that the reports may force Assad to launch devastating missile attacks on northern Israel so as not to be perceived as a collaborator and lose what's left of his credibility as an Arab ruler. Then came the most recent leak, which shocked the Israeli leadership.
Once again the question was asked: Why did the leak come from the same Pentagon officials? The answer is not encouraging. The reason Pentagon officials were behind the current and past leaks is most likely political -- part of an internal dispute within the Pentagon: Should the US act militarily to end the massacre in Syria? Can it? Or should it avoid a military operation and also ignore the use of chemical weapons by Assad's forces, despite Obama's threats?
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey claimed the US Military would need 700 sorties to neutralize Syria's anti-aircraft force and secure a no-fly zone. This was how the US and its allies came out on top in past conflicts in Iraq, Kosovo and Libya. But America does not want another war after it has already withdrawn from Iraq and is trying to leave Afghanistan by the skin of its teeth. This is why senior government officials are using various excuses provided by the generals in the Pentagon in order to avoid military intervention in Syria.
The leaks, which point to Israeli successes in Syria, expose the emptiness of the B.O. regime's excuses. Therefore, some people estimate the leaks are actually meant to embarrass the administration and come from those who are in favor of Western military intervention in Syria and from Republicans looking to attack the B.O. regime any chance they get.
The Israeli political established is fuming, because the internal disputes within the US are putting Israel's citizens in a truly dangerous situation. The leaks are reducing Assad's so-called "room for denial." The Syrian president is really not interested in getting involved in a conflict with Israel at this juncture.
Without addressing the question of whether Israel was behind the destruction of the Yakhont missiles, it is clear that the leak from Washington may push Assad into a corner and force him to respond in a way that will hurt and endanger Israel.
American officials, in the heat of the domestic argument, are pitting Israel and Syria against each other. This is not a legitimate move by our closet ally and patron. After all, it is Israel that will suffer from the missile attacks, not the US.
This is not the only damage caused to Israel and other countries by the US' befuddlement and careless conduct. But everyone has to keep quiet because we have no other superpower that supports us.

Considering that the administration has tightened its control over the Pentagon in the past two years, it's just as likely that the leaks are intended to deflect and distract the Syrian issue onto the Israelis.
[Ynet] Pentagon officials selling Israeli secrets know they are jeopardizing clear Israeli interests
Something is not right in the relationship of trust between Israel and the United States. It's illogical and unforgivable that in such an intimate relationship -- as it is known to us, at least -- between two defense establishments, the secrets of one side will be given away by the other side's mouth.
Those sources in the Pentagon who are selling the Israeli secrets for cheap to the American media know that they are jeopardizing clear Israeli interests in the region and putting the lives of Israel's citizens in danger, as bad as it may sound.
When it happens once, it could be someone's slip of the tongue. When it happens twice -- it's a work plan.
On May 5 at dawn, warehouses containing Hezbollah-bound Iranian Fateh-110 missiles were attacked in the Damascus area. Only several hours after the bombing, American government workers rushed to point a finger at Israel as the country behind the attack.
At the time Israel was still looking for excuses to explain to itself why the Americans got mixed up. After all, at the time President Assad did not want -- just as he does not want now -- an open conflict with Israel. At the time He was ready -- just as he is now -- to hide behind public declaration that the attack was carried out by the rebels. The American informing put him under huge pressure by the generals surrounding him, who demanded a response. And indeed, Assad, in a serious of public and aggressive statements, vowed that Syria would no longer practice restraint over damage to its illusory sovereignty.
This time, after the attack on a military base north of Latakia, the Americans managed to control themselves for one week. On Friday night they once against pointed a finger at Israel as the country responsible for the attack on the weapons depot, which is believed to have contained Yakhont coastal missiles. Now, Assad is in a dilemma. When the Americans insist it was Israel, what is he supposed to do: Practice restraint and demonstrate weakness? Israel shouldn't bet on that.
Strategic partner revealed as unreliable
After May's leak the Americans apologized, explaining that it was the work of low-ranking officials, saying there was a commission of inquiry. Israel swallowed the lie. Two months have passed and the big mouths in Washington speculated with state secrets once again, proving that the allegedly close relationship between Hagel and Ya'alon has nothing to do with the secretary of defense's ability to control his people.
The odd thing is that Russian weapon systems have been damaged, and the Russians appear unfazed. What they care about is the deal. Once they have transferred the arms and received the money -- Israel can do what it wants. With the Russians, the rules of the game are clear. On the other hand, the American government, our strategic partner, is revealed as unreliable.
And perhaps the American leak has to do with Israel's successful test-firing of a propulsion system of a long-range ballistic missile? Both reports include a game of hidden messages and psychological warfare.
Friday's test is part of a series of tests on the missile and propulsion system which have been taking place for a while now. When Israel wants to conceal its missile tests, it knows how to do it. On Friday it had an interest in publishing the test's success. The message is clear: Let no one have any illusions -- the cuts in the defense budget are unrelated to the State of Israel's strategic abilities.
One the contrary, when it comes to its long arm, Israel has no intention of saving a penny. A ballistic missile with a propulsion system like the one tested on Friday could accurately place a satellite in space and could also accurately lead a lethal warhead as well.
There is no better "promo" for renewing the campaign against Iran than a successful ballistic missile test. The Israeli government is opening the Iran festival these days in light of the option that Rohani's presidency, which begins this coming month, will reduce the global pressure on Tehran.
The Israeli message is clear: We have the ability to act on our own. Experience shows that the Americans take Israel's threats seriously only when it demonstrates concrete military abilities. So could it be that this test irritated several Pentagon officials, who decided to "spoil things" for Israel on other fronts?

Once again, we must ask the basic question - IN A FUTURE OWG "MULTIPOLAR" WORLD WHERE THE US IS JUST ONE "CO-SUPERPOWER" AMONG SEVERAL OR MANY, WHOM PERSONAGE OR NATION-STATE DO THE GLOBALISTS + ALIGNED DESIRE TO LEAD THE FUTURE OWG "MIDDLE EAST", "MEDITERRANEAN, ANDOR "ISLAMIC UNION"???

It is not just shafting Israel, but the US govt is lowering our security. There are some real evil and nasty creatures out there, like Iran, Assad, and the smorgasbord of so called Syrian rebels. When you look at all, not ONE of them are any good.
So the US Govt shafts Israel to punish them, quite possibly to ignite one a hell of a war, with nuclear effects. It is on your head now, O.
We are all heading for the abyss if we keep up the same behaviors.
