The Troy Davis Debacle: A Flawed System

    


             Thier is no need to execute 50 guilty prisons if you're just going to kill one innocent man along with them, I feel that makes no sense to do in the first place. I believe that the state does have a right to take a life but only if one the crime had occured in thier state in the first place and if thier is no question without a shadow of a doubt that the convicted person has evidence against him that proves that he did it. I don't really believe that thier is really a diffrence between justice and revenge. To quote a character named Pein in the naruto shippudden Manga series when talking about justic and revenge he said "We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge we deem to be justice. But when we call our vengeance justice, it only breeds more revenge… forging the first link in the chains of hatred." When it comes to the possibility of prisoners being reformed while being locked up, I believe that it can happen I mean I had some peeps of mine that changed for the better after they did thier time. Yet at the same time thier is just some people that just love to see the world burn and do things thier way without a second thought or care. The mentatily ill issue I haven't really reached my descion on yet but I will eventually, hopefully obama will still be in the office by then instead of Corp Man( Romney). Although race issues have come a long way compared to how things use to be during the 50's,60's, 70's, and to a lesser extent even the 80's and 90's we still have alot of problems to be addressed. You had revolutionaries like a Tupac, Che, Malcolm X, Jfk , Martin Luther King  etc that  tried to address these social,political, economic problems and either get GOT or KILLED by speaking their mind and voices.

Corps aren't people



 I am completely against the notion and view point of seeing and considering corporations as people for quite a few legitimate reasons. First off the main purpose of the corporations is to make alot of profit and be used as a shield in case something goes wrong. They're nothing more but a sagacious tool used by certain goverment officials (cough cough Romney) as a way to promote and give much needed exposure and money to his campaign. Its just a big business that is used to selling shares to investors, its a collection of money oriented minds compared to the individual. Corporations can't breath, can't dance, can't eat, has no cognitive consciousness on its own quite so ever etc. The Corporations only have one thing on thier minds and that is to win at all cost, and in America our fundamental human values comes ahead of everything.

The Real Meaning of freedom of Speech When It comes To America

     Ever Since The dreaded Date of 9/11 America has been in constant of paranoia when it comes to the possibility of musilm "terrorist" born in this very country giving out intel to Al Quaida etc about our goverment secrets and plans. It has gotten to the point where scholors of muslim descent who have opposed the United States actions folllowing 9/11 have been targeted secretly. An example this can be traced back to this past Sepetember when Anwar al-Awlaki was assasasinated by a drone attack. Anwar al-Awlaki was an engineer, and was considered a major threat by the United States because he was apparently had a high ranking in the islamic militant group of Al Quaida. As well as posting a plethora of youtube videos, blogs etc that blasted the U.S, and for the "Osama Bin Laden of the Internet". The dilema is tho despite Anwar al-Awlaki had posted many anti- american propaganda didn't he have a right since he was an american and had the right of freedom of speech  ? Isn't that one of the perks of this country that makes it great ?

     Sure Freedom Of Speech is one of our countries must valued amendment and should stay as such. However, thier does come a time in which freedom of speech should be used wisely. Although Anwar al-Awlaki was indeed a U.S citizen and was educated for the most part here in this great country. Over the last several years he has veheminetly diplayed a strong distaste for us and even went so far to Yemen for lord knows how many times to conspire and give intel about his own goverment that keeps him safe at night. That is a very bold and disrespectful thing to do, especially in a Post-911 America. The man even went as far as marking our own American soliders sexual orientations !! " No respect, No respect at all "



   In conclusion I believe that the United States had no right to kill Anwar al-Awlaki based on simply suspicions and allegations. It only showed how truly hypocrticial and paranoid we really are behind our bravado. Anwar al-Awlaki was an American and just like the rest of us had ever right to speak his mind o matter what even if his idealogy opposed our countries own in regards of our Post 9/11 actions. It makes you wonder if they could simply do that to one man what would they do if their was supossedly 10,000 citizens who was uder suspions for plotting something ? Would they try to exterminate those 10,000 "Threats" as an the end justify the means type deal ? A damn shame how our goverment is just strating to break apart from WITHIN. What's the point of having the amendment in the first place if you can't speak your peace without someone trying to get you GOT ?

Should the U.S leave Iraq for good ?

                                                   Should the U.S leave Iraq for good ?

     On the date of October 7th, 2001 nearly one month after the infamous event in our countries history 9/11 The United States Invaded Iraq, which occured during the presidential reign of George W. Bush. The main purpose of the war was to put an end to the Al Quaida terrorist organzation once and for all though many people suspect it was just an excuse for the United States to get some form of revenge for all the american citzens lives lost during 9/11. Another aspiration for the United States was to transform Iraq into a well runned Democracy. has been exactly a little more than a decade since that date, and many things have transpired. Osama Bin Laden the man who was the spearhead and the most responsible "Supposedly" for the 9/11 attacks had recently been killed by a group of some of  the United States finest Marines after escaping U.S clutches for ten years. Saddam Hussein who was the president of Iraq and who was known for his brutality and his costly wars in which he raged against fellow countries. The United States has taken over for the most part and has helped the iraqis build thier own democracy(flawed) but its progressing. However, the true conflict is if the United States should return its soldiers back home or keep them there an Iraq as miltitary enforcers. The Iraqis want the U.S out of thier countrie because it is thier own country and they have just began the commencement of thier new Democracy, The U.S already has all that so they should leave. But from the U.S point of view if they were to leave Iraq will the people of Iraqi truly be safe ? The taliban could take over. Is thier anyway for the United States to win this war ? I would say not a chance in hell. The main reason is that they arew fighting an enemy(taliban) that they can't see high up in the moutains dropping down some heavy artilery down on them while the soldiers are stuck in thier barely mobile tanks. Lets face it they are going up against an eenmey that not even the Alexander The Great, The Romans etc could takeover. I believe that its time to pack up and give the soliders a permanant vacation 10 years overdue.

Wikilinks: Heroes or Enemies

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/03/world/middleeast/03ishaqi.html?_r=1&ref=wikileaks

   According to an article written in the New York Times by Michael S. Schmidt, The Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al- Maliki spokesmen announced that their would be a reopening of a 2006 investigation involving United States troops who were considered responsible for the death of an iraqi family in the town of ishadi. This was made possible due Wikilinks making public a dipolomatic cable that a united nations senior officer had basically blackmailed the U.S with his knowledge of what they had down to the family. The name of the United Nation offcial was Philip Alston, and from his written account their had been autopsies done. Apparently five of the victims were nothin more than mere children( age 5 or less). which ironically the military goverment had viewed as nothin but a shameful rumor under false pretest. The ongoing question is rather this latest revelation will put the U.S and Iraq at even more odds or that things will just stay the same as expected.

    Aren't you a little bit fed up with Wiki Links always meddling in United State Goverment affairs ? Thier are just some Secrets that should be kept for the benefit and stabaility of the citizens. An investigation has already been done over five years ago on the matter and it can be assured that if another one was to take place once again the result will be the same. Our sole purpose is to bring democracy to the people of Iraq, not to oppress. We are not villians as wikilinks have portrayed us over the last couple of years.

    It seems to me that this possible revelation of the United States possibly taking part in the execution of the family over 5 years ago wont really make much of a diffrence really. The only ones really makinga fuse about it is the prime minister himself. Even the father of the family is indiffrent to the revelation, all he wishes is to be dead as well buried along side them. If you ask me the wikilinks have acted in a way like Modern Day Jesuits. And what I mean by that is that they seek the truth and they want those truths to be be spread for everyone to know. While The United States whetehr they are found guilty or not come out to me as being Like the old Catholic church of Martin Luther's time. A corrupted and secretive organazation that has lost sight of what they once were. Just another example of the hero transforming into the villian.
