You may have heard about the tweet episode.
The University of Alabama belongs to a very educated state. Its dean of students, an African American man, James Riley, has just stepped down as a result of a tweet he made. This is ridiculous. Nobody should be stepping down anywhere over tweets they make. Excuse me, hello-o, this is America!
On this particular patch of land known as the USA we say what our brain tells us to say and that’s how we get good things going. I’init? Granted, if the dean had tweeted “I hate everybody at the University of Alabama,” someone should suggest that he consider looking for a different job. But what he said was an opinion that any black — OR WHITE — American is entitled to hold. He said (not in these exact words):
“When I see the old stars and stipes a-flappin’ in the wind, sometime it makes me said, as I associate the power of the federal government with the bad treatment Blacks got for many years — and, by the way, still are getting in many ways.”
Aren’t we allowed the emotion of sadness anymore? Aren’t we allowed to be sad that our police are trained to be as disrespectful as possible to the citizens? Aren’t we allowed to see the flag as “us” — warts and all? What the Sam Hill are we supposed to see when the flag is a-flappin’ — apple pie? a one-room schoolhouse? Iwo Jima? the Grand Canyon? the Emancipation Proclamation?
You can see what you like. I see Gitmo, among other things. I see the whole kit and caboodle of our Bill of Rights, and the safety we used to feel. Boy, did we feel safe. Now we have to put up with stupidity, selfishness, and a bunch of lying liars.
Dean James Riley’s actual tweet was made back in September 2017. Then he got appointed dean in February 2019. Here it is verbatim:
“The flag represents a systemic history of racism for my people… Police are a part of that system. Is it that hard to see the correlation?”
We up here in the white stratosphere may think the civil rights movement solved everything. Did not. Did not. Recall the COINTELPRO papers that came out around 1970, revealing what the FBI was getting up to? “Racist” isn’t the word. Maybe the word should be “combat.” Certainly in the bedroom of Fred Hampton, combat was the correct word. (I mention bedroom only because that is where he was sleeping when the “authorities” killed him.)
Listen to this sentence: “Common tactics used by COINTELPRO were perjury, witness harassment, witness intimidation, and withholding of evidence.”
You’ll never guess who said that — Wikipedia. Yes, Wikipedia of all people said that (retrieved, swearda God, September 10, 2019).
The book “Truth At Last,” by Lyndon Barsten and John Ray, has proven that the feds killed MLK. It weren’t whites that done it, either, certainly not the tragically mistreated convict James Earl Ray.
It was — oh never mind if you don’t know what difference does it make. Black traitors, participated, I believe. Color is no bar when it comes to treachery. But whoever did it did it because of well, the flag. Riley got that one right.
Today “the flag” is going after Muslims. Please see my book The Soul of Boston and the Marathon Bombing. Freely downloadable. “WWM” — walking while Muslim — is not good for your health.
I think we should have more respect for our beloved flag. We ought to stick together. The Rev should have said, in 1968, “I may not get there with you, but I’d certainly have a better chance of it if you would protect me against …er… the flag.”
OK. Now let’s get down to what is really killing us. Every person in the contiguous 48 plus the other two states (and isn’t Miss Tulsi a treat!), and the territories, is in for a big punishing any day now. This is because we keep letting Our Killers get away with absurd lies. Check this out.
An article in Foreign Affairs magazine, in June of this year — eighteen years after 9-11 — said:
“For U.S. intelligence agencies, the twenty-first century began with a shock, when 19 al Qaeda operatives hijacked four planes…. In the wake of the attack, the intelligence community mobilized with one overriding goal: preventing another 9/11. …”
What? Preventing another 9-11 was the goal? No it wasn’t. Doing many more 9-11’s is the goal.
“19 al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four planes”???? Dear Fellow Americans, if you continue to let them say that, you are dead in the water. The only way we are going to get on top of things is to refuse to let officials talk like that.
(The authors of the Foreign Affairs article are not officials. They are simply …oh, I haven’t met them. I don’t know if they’re malicious or just thick, or what. Maybe they have been hypnotized. It’s all the rage, you know.)
Are you young? Please run for office. Be a good Republican. I ran for US Senate in 2017 in Alabama. (See MaxwellForSenate.com). Alabama will have another senate opening in 2020. I hope ex-Dean James Riley gives it a try. We need people who are not intimidated by political correctness.
Please Folks, these problems are not going to go away. You have to jump into the fray. Here is how one 22-year-old, Diane Nash, did it in Selma, Alabama. Very businesslike. Very American. Very chutzpah. Very Bill of Rights. Very God-fearing type thing:
UPDATE
The foregoing article by me was published at RumormillNews.com at 1:00am on September 11, 2001. Just 13 hour later, at 3pm, I was waltzing around in the Boston Common and saw two persons doing exactly what ex-dean James Riley did — saying the flag was besmirched by our nation’s cruel deeds.
The guy with the hat was vigorously scrubbing a flag on an old-fashioned washboard. The lady with the microphone was giving a really good speech about foreign policy. This was in the searing heat (Indian summer, so-called).
Viet Nam
And that prompts me to quote what Vietnam Veteran Brian Wilson had to say about the flag in a September 12, 2019 article at Globalresearch.ca., entitled “‘USA Pretend ‘Unmasked.”
“My duty station was the ‘home’ of the fighter-bombers and pilots who followed orders to destroy those “enemy targets”, i.e., villages…. I was the US Air Force night security commander following orders to protect those soldiers and planes from mortar and sapper attacks.
“A few days later I was reading an article in Stars and Stripes,… reporting on a recent Supreme Court decision (Street v. New York, 1969) that upheld the right of desecrating our ‘sacred’ symbol – the US flag. … An African-American veteran recipient of a Bronze Star, Sidney Street, had publicly burned his personal flag on a New York City street corner, [then] was arrested and convicted.
“Depressed, I pondered how it is that one could be arrested for burning a piece of cloth – even a national symbol – that represented an official policy of criminally burning innocent human beings, including large numbers of young children…. Initially suicidal, I had difficulty wrapping my head around this dystopian nightmare. I was in psychic shock from extreme cognitive dissonance.
“Our behavior against the Vietnamese, a nation of peasants … certainly must rank as one of the worst of a number of barbarisms in the 20th Century. The US left 26 million bomb craters, sprayed 21 million gallons of DNA-altering chemical warfare on the landscape and people, murdered some 6 million Southeast Asians, destroyed by bombing over 13,000 of Viet Nam’s 21,000 villages, 950 churches and pagodas, 350 clearly marked hospitals, 3,000 high schools and universities, 15,000 bridges, etc.”
Perhaps James Riley had been seen liaising with Professor Tony Martin
At around 9:00, Professor Tony Martin is introduced by David Irving and discusses the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
From 24:00+ he gets on to the core topic, but the most fascinating section is when he is quoting from Harold Brackman (“The Ebb and Flow of History”), and from 31:00-ish describes the talmudic (and hence biblical) teachings regarding the ‘Hamitic myth’. Some mind-numbing insights from there on…
Due to the nature of the Nation of Islam-Nation of Israel conflict constructive involvement is confined to infiltrating the ranks of the latter .
“constructive input” would probably be a better way of putting it, Martin Luther King’s course being a good example.
The argument espoused at 31:00 is somewhat belied by the fact that North America and Australia were both colonised by white slave-labour.
The credibility of said argument is also evidenced by a failure to grasp what Ham actually did( I mean, what sort of ***** would believe that Noah, a “righteous man”, cursed a son simply for seeing him in the nuddy!)
Some folk claim the actual violation that took place was direct.Personally I think it’s far more likely that it was indirect(the wickedness of Antediluvian culture extended to cuckolding one’s father as a means of arrogating an inheritance; Absalom is also recorded as having slept with his father’s concubines to the express purpose)
The oversight is coupled with an apparent oblivion to the strongest biblical messages re slavery, as in:
having been sold to Egyptian traders by his jealous brothers, Israel’s youngest son Joseph winds up becoming Pharaoh’s right hand man. In other words he winds up exercising a type of power that would otherwise have been unobtainable.
several generations later, one of the conditions for entering the promised land is a prohibition on taking slaves from other nations, the logic being that such vassals will ultimately wind up getting the upper hand.
Ah, Berry, It’s even more complicated. There’s the “evangelical vote” to be reckoned with.
.
And here’s a real Jew telling a bunch of so-called “evangelicals” that they’re seriously misconceived:
Hi Mary and Berry,

Dee, thank you for the photo of spraying with Agent Orange. That led me to an item in the 8-17-18 issue of Daily Beast:
“Rick Weidman, co-founder of Vietnam Veterans of America, served a tour of duty in 1969. At the White House meeting, Weidman brought up the issue of Agent Orange, an extremely notorious component of the U.S. herbicidal warfare. He implored the president and his team to permit access to benefits for a broader number of vets who have said they were poisoned by Agent Orange.
Trump responded by saying, “That’s taken care of,” according to people in the room..
Attendees began explaining to the president that the VA had not made enough progress on the issue at all, to which Trump responded by asking the attendees if Agent Orange was “that stuff from that movie.”
Trump did not name the film he was referencing, but it quickly became clear that it was the 1979 epic, Apocalypse Now. [People] chimed in to inform the president that “Apocalypse Now” showed the U.S. military using napalm, not Agent Orange.
Trump refused to accept that he was mistaken and proceeded to say things like, “no, I think it’s that stuff from that movie.”
This is Kleenex City:
.
I can’t watch the China Beach movie without collapsing into big sookie tears.
I never watched ‘China Beach’ when it was on TV. However, I did LIVE China Beach. I do remember moving through China Beach after I got hit. However, most of my time with Army Nurses was in Japan.
I’ve watched those Angels hold a man’s hand and tell him to “hang on”. If you were a guy that hadn’t seen a ’round eye’ woman in months and there was one holding your hand, you’re damn right you’d hang on.
I’ve got heaps of stories of those women. I’ve held them in my arms when they broke down from the stress. I’ve seen things that any woman should not have to go through, but they did, day after day.
I have so much respect for those nurses that it can’t be expressed. There is not a medal big enough…
So there’s a lack of vision on two counts:
1) James Riley’s beef, if any, would be against the African nation that sold his forbears to non-African traders
2) The College’s beef, if any, would be against the designers of that oxymoron known as multiculturalism, namely the Founding Fathers
Multiculturalism is transitory. Transitory because eventually you will end up with monoculture. No Diversity for you!
You have a rasberry drink, you have a lemonade drink. You have an orange drink.
This is diversity.
Now mix them all together, that’s multiculturalism.
Have a taste. Any kid will tell you that tastes yuk!
But you can’t have a rasberry drink again, all diversity is gone!
Well put Justin. unfortunately those that created multiculturalism, did not intend it to be tasty or beneficial.They had another agenda.

Exposing more criminality on part of the Australian government
Mafia involvement in introduction of Multiculturalism into Australia
Multiculturalism was introduced into Australia by Albert Jamie Grassby, a Minister in the Whitlam government, which swept into power in the 1972 election. Grassby came to be known in Australia as ‘the father of multiculturalism’.
Al Grassby
Immigration Minister Al Grasby – on the Mafia payroll when he introduced multiculuralism into Australia.
But there was a dark side to Grassby. He was on the payroll of the Calabrian Mafia. With Mafia money, he won the “unwinnable” seat of Riverina, centred on the town of Griffith in central New South Wales.
A branch off the Italian Mafia, L’Onorata Societa, or Honoured Society, had established itself in Griffith to organise the marijuana and heroin trade for which Griffith would later become notorious.
In 1977, Griffith furniture store owner, Donald McKay, who had campaigned against the rampaging drug production and distribution in the area, was murdered on the orders of the Mafia. One senior member of the Society, Gianfranco Tizzoni, turned police informer and detailed to authorities Grassby’s involvement with the Mafia. In submissions to authorities he provided evidence of the favours Grassby did for the Mafia in return for the money he had received.
Incredibly, Grassby never faced a jail sentence for his crimes. The only feasible answer appeared in an article in the 9 May 2005 edition of Melbourne’s Herald Sun under the headline “Grassby Crimes Cover-Up – Outspoken MP hid 40-year links with Mafia syndicate bosses”:
The detective who arrested controversial Federal MP Al Grassby 18 years ago claims the National Crimes Authority bowed to political pressure not to fully investigate his mafia links.
Retired NCA senior investigator Bruce Provost said he had no doubt the Whitlam Labor Minister was paid to commit crimes and do favours for the Calabrian mafia.
Speaking publicly for the first time about the NCA’s inquiry, Mr Provost said Mr Grassby was firmly in the mafia’s pocket.
He said there was more than enough intelligence on Mr Grassby to warrant a full investigation, but he was held back by the NCA.
In Australia, following the initial moves of the Whitlam Labor government in 1973, further official national

As affirmed by David Irving above, slavery and multiculturalism are synonymous and the issue is invariably rooted in maintaining a faux economy.
Riley’s beef is about the power of officials to hurt ordinary folks.
It seems to me that by tolerating that status quo, or generally blocking it out of the old nog, we are guaranteeing it will get worse. What’s to stop it?
Maybe the way to deal is to offer them (the upper group) something, as their life is no picnic either. Not sure if that is what Berry meant by infiltration.
Well according to the above Katz rave the only way of infiltrating t h o s e ranks is to invoke jealousy and there’s only ONE WAY of doing it (45:00)
Berry, I can’t disagree with Katz at 46 minutes. Paul was contemporaneous with Jesus. BTW, the Encyclopedia Brit. says:
“Of the 27 books in the New Testament, 13 or 14 are traditionally attributed to St. Paul. However, only seven of these are accepted as being entirely authentic:
“Letter of Paul to the Romans, both Letters to the Corinthians, Letter of Paul to the Galatians, Letter of Paul to the Philippians, First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians, and Letter of Paul to Philemon.
“The authorship of the others is debated and may have come from followers writing in Paul’s name. Ephesians, Colossians, the Second Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians, both Letters of Paul to Timothy, the Letter of Paul to Titus, and the Letter to the Hebrews are of uncertain authorship.”
I never knew that. (We Catholics take the NT at face value, of course.)
Well they have a long long way to go if ever to restore the Fascist Empire back to a Republic but I cannot see it. They are at tipping point and it has gone too far for too long with the infiltration and criminality of the seditious politicians of High Treason.

Media Dead Silent As Award-Winning Journalist Crumbles The Myths Surrounding Julian Assange
https://www.activistpost.com/2019/09/media-dead-silent-as-award-winning-journalist-crumbles-the-myths-surrounding-julian-assange.html
The Facts: Award-winning Australian Mark Davis explains the smear campaign mainstream media is using against Assange. Journalist Greg Bean compares his work to the time that the printing press was invented, putting ‘information’ in the hands of the people.
Reflect On: The arrest of Julian Assange and censorship of independent media networks goes to show how information threatens the global elite, and not “national security.” It threatens immoral government and corporate actions/interests.
Mark Davis, a well-known award-winning Australian investigative journalist, best known for his work on Dateline, has said that it’s the journalists from The Guardian and New York Times who should be in jail, not Julian Assange. Obviously, mainstream media has completely ignored this in fear of undermining their smear campaign that’s been running against Julian Assange for years, making him out to be a criminal when in fact he’s the complete opposite.
JFK warned the citizenry about “an announced need for increased security” that would be “seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.”
Government Indictment by Marc Stevens pg. 95-96
How do you respect others’ rights while “upholding and obeying laws?” Notice the similarity with American law, the: “reciprocal rights and obligations.” The United States Supreme court has held for over two hundred years: “Taxation and prote tion are reciprocal,” Union Refrigerator Transit Company v. Kentucky, 199 U.S. 194. Look at the similarity to the Americsn 14th amendment:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, are and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are ctizens of tbe United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
“a person born in Australia after the commencement of this Act shall be an Australian citizen.” An act relating to Australian Citizenship from 1948, part III, division 1, 10 (1).
Just how does an infant pledge loyalty anyway? Does a statement from 1948 create some kind of loyalty pledge for someone born in Brisbane today? I would say yes, but only in tbe minds of the insane. Unlike the insane, I don’t think politicians believe this stuff about allegiance and protection. Their actions prove they at least don’t take it seriously. We already know they acknowledge there is no duty to protect.
The following was written by a 1955 Citizenship Convention in Australia. It’s from a paper titled Notes on the Responsibilities and Privileges of Auztralian Citizenship and gives a clear picture of this so-called “citizenship.” I like how the first part is reminiscent of the Roman standard:
“For the Commonwealth, allegiance was always the most significant element of citizenship in Australia; indeed it was the very basis of citizenship. This is clear throughout the history of naturalisation policy, and tbe Commonwealth’s various pronouncements on the meaning of citizenship. During times of perceived threat of war, the question of allegiance was explicitly at the fore of Commonwealth policy. Aliens and citizens alike were appraised and treated around various beliefs about allegiance. Ultimately, the meaning of allegiance was revealed as a willingness to serve the state in time of war. Allegiance aside, the sum of the paraphernalia on the duties of citizenship amounted to little more than obeying the law (something not limited to citizens in any case) and voting at elections……..
Remember all the crap about civilizing the native savages the British government spewed? Who are the real savages here? As history has shown, one may be “”enlightened” and highly educated and be a savage. The meaning of allegiance is nothing more than a willingness to kill on demand, no personal discretion though, mate.
G’day Mate, welcome to Australia. Are you willing to kill people in Iraq who pose no danger to you whatsoever?
Geez Bruce, I know god told George Bush to invade, but I just wanted to have a barbie, a few snags and surf.
