STOP THE TRESPASSERS!!!!
This is not the first time that I have forwarded my representation for humanity & support since 2000 on the Net and through other means of communications. But all in vain yet that does not let me give up.
Hopefully, that this petition is forwarded to the concerned authorities and hope for some form of remedy, because I have exhausted all types of defending strategies. To ward off the trespassers I had bought :-
a) Electronic security gadgets but then clearly tampered;
b) Several padlocks and so on;
c) Several police complaints but the corrupt and incompetent lawlessness continues to ignore my genuine grievances;
d) Several representations to both the State level and National level Human Rights Commission but these offices have simply shut my case on the basis of unscrupulous police authorities governed by cheap politics;
e) Several representations to several organisations world over instead I was framed assaulted and put inside a mental asylum in March 2008 by motivated persons;
No doubt that I got an hostile family living separately with their spouses. There are relatives too living in the same city. I got a share in my late mother's property alongwith my father and younger brother who all simply fail to sort out the registration of the same on our names. Instead I am used by their spouses as shield to protect themselves and ignore me. In short, gender bias and gender inequality.
These trespassers certainly include the neighbours alonngwith other motivated characters. l understand that much more complex issues have been resolved but then why not this trespassers torturing my pet and me for nearly two decades. These bunch of perverts can easily be cornered and their demonly acts revealed.
Total absurdity to trespass with an excuse about my pet because my dobermans were tortured to death. Please view the link for the postmortem of my perfect pet Bruny.

If these trespassers are really bothered about my pet dogs than there are several strays loitering the indian streets in a worst neglected manner. The real reason is to torture my pet and me. Otherwise there are these others who dislike the trespassers and again my pet is threatened. My concern is the cheap politics at play in my work place the State Bank Of Hyderabad. There is excess of irregularities, misuse of position, frauds, and also racial discrimination in excess. I am concerned about my pet a tiny beautiful pomerian.

Yet again I am threatened to vacate by the Flat owners even before completing one year stay at the apartment. Generally tenants donot vacate in short span of time. There is clear indication of malafide intention to exploit. Please view the following link "Social Evil":
http://www.doxtop.com/Browse/2f43a86b/social-evil.aspx
Please stop these trespassers from unnecessarily interfering our lives. I am aware that I am under scanner by a bunch of perverts. In which case there is total loss of privacy whether in the bathroom or toilet. Also I am a victim of sexual exploitation by well positioned persons. The method adopted was to sedate and trespass in the night. I had no knowledge of whatever the sexual exploitation was about during 1999 to 2003. Whether photographing nude clips or indulging in psychopathic perverted sex with a sedated woman. Atleast a rape victim or an eloped affair or a runaway bride probably fair complexioned Bangalore women or their daughter have a chance of treating themselves from vaginal infection or without injuring their uterus whether aggravating or exaggerating the fibroids or not. But that was not the case with a sedated woman. The joints too can be easily affected with any rough movement or symptoms of nausea.
As also aware from the postmortem report that certain chemical substances cause symptoms of cancer. In other words that is murder of an otherwise normal person. I am a victim of all the above mentioned details and continue to be threatened. Each time I am careful to secure my residence atleast during the nights, then these professional perverts begin to use their political influence with the Flat Owners to pressurise me to vacate. This is how I have been tortured since 1990-91 to be precise. My father & younger brother have already bought their own houses and they are hostile to sort out and let me have a own house. The main reason why I am compelled to put forth my genuine grievance for HELP. I do not want to be used as a shield.
Brief Details:
1986 : Joined The State Bank Of Hyderabad;
1988: My Mother & Aunt expired on the same day;
1989: My another Aunt also expired. Thereafter a two month old arranged marriage to a Central Bureau Investigator and I was used like a disposable item another form of sexual exploitation.
PLEASE STOP THE TRESPASSERS!!!!
What is bias in the middle east conflict? [March, 2009]
Arabs’ racist killing (specifically) Jews *, is accepted “freedom fighting’'.
Israelis worried of Arab terror *, branded as “racists”.
*
War crimes, crimes against humanity by Palestinian Arab leadership - regime in Gaza * * * of using Arab civilians, making sure their kids die, for the “greater good (Jihadi-fascism’s goodness) of making Israel look bad…” * * * * * * *, using hospitals *, schools, UN medical vehicles * *, even aid material sent by humanitarian Israel * for murder, targeting at Israeli civilians, - shoved aside, ignored *.
Israel’s humane army’s extreme measures not to hit civilians (including 250,000 warning phone calls to Arab residents to evacuate a particular area designated to be included in an op., knowing full well terrorists can cease the opportunity and flea, as well as risking young soldiers’ lives in going door to door) * * * * aiming only at Hamas terrorists is denounced of “random shooting” and “war crimes”.
[Arab led pressure forcing Israel to conduct] Uprooting Jews from their homes and their ancestors’, AKA Transfer * * AKA Arab Palestinian Apartheid * is “good for peace”.
Transfer of Arabs (who don’t have more than 2 or 3 generations of history in Judea / Israel / Palestine * * * *) is “apartheid, fascist and racist” * (AKA Avigdor Lieberman).
While Hamas or even “Moderate” Fatah refuses to recognize Israel *, international aid is flowing their way.
UN is “busy” condemning Israel * * on whatever is being told (forced) by the global Arab Muslim oil lobby.
Truth commissions worked in South Africa to encourage confession, resolve mysteries, increase transparency, resolve conflicts, decrease corruption, reduce bias and discrimination, and allowed the country to get beyond conflict, to forgive, to accept the past, and to move on in a more honest, united and open manner.
Would this not work in the United States. We should begin a pilot project run by US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in C[r]ook County.
Hi, all,
I would like to ask your help in a journalistic research project, which I hope will result in an article or book. I expect to have to ask this question of thousands of people in order to find the few who fit the profile I’m seeking.
I’m trying to find people who overcame a personal bias against black people in order to vote for Barack Obama for president. I’m looking for individual stories of how people moved away from bias they grew up with, to the point where the US could elect a black president. This change could have occurred gradually, or quickly for this election.
I'm looking for people willing to talk seriously about their own bias, to canvassers who ran into biased people and talked them past it, to people who voted for Obama and didn't dare tell a racist boss or relative, to anyone else who has a direct story about this change in attitude in America.
So please, if you can help, 1. write back to me with your own stories or just your contact information, but even if you don't fit, 2. pass this request to your list of friends. Ask them to pass it on to their friends.
I'm a journalist with decades in newspapers. I'm a former foreign correspondent who covered the collapse of the Soviet Union, and did not misquote Soviet leader Gorbachev. I promise to record your statements accurately.
Please, help me document this monumental change in our country.
Thank you.

“Mad about The One. The US media have been captivated by Obama, at the expense of their curiosity and scepticism.”
This is the title of an article by Harold Evans in The Guardian on November 1, 2008. He resorts to the bias he decries in his one-sided column. I have reproduced it below in its entirety, along with my annotations {…} . Phrases that I comment upon are in boldface.
It's fitting that the cynicism "vote early and vote often" is commonly attributed to Chicago's Democratic boss, mayor Richard Daley, who famously voted the graveyards in 1960 to help put John Kennedy in the White House. In this 2008 race, it's the American media that have voted very early and often. They long ago elected the star graduate of Chicago's Democratic machine, Barack Obama. {Obama is a hardly a “graduate“ of the machine. What about Harvard Law, Columbia, etc.?}
I am not talking of editorials in newspapers, though Obama has the preponderance of the endorsements over John McCain. Obama certainly deserves the credit for recruiting impressive advisers and running a more efficient campaign machine than any one in the US's political history.
What's troubling to anyone old-fashioned enough to care about standards in journalism is the news coverage in mainstream media. Forget the old notions of objectivity, fairness, thoroughness, and so on. The nastiest rumours on both sides haven't been published, but the coverage has been slavishly on the side of "the one". {“Slavish”? Evans’s description.}
Went to bed last night nodding off to an incredibly boring CNN broadcast of full live coverage of McCain speaking to a rally of supporters. Not just a clip... it went on and on and on (at least 15 minutes of McCain live before I fell asleep)... and I was listening, thinking... this guy is going on and on about helping the middle class with a tax cut and the importance of regulation... how is one of the greatest 'deregulators' of all time allowed to get away with this sudden shift to a laundry-list of OBAMA's proposals? Since when did CNN become "The mcCain News Network"?
Woke up this morning to the BBC - playing the theme from "Rocky" and talking about McCain. In about 30 minute of news I heard about McCain the fighter, the kinder-gentler Sarah Palin (though she's still a tough, "pit-bull"), and an interview with a woman who claimed to have been a Democratic primary supporter of Hillary Clinton... (Woman: "I'm just glad to see another girl on the ticket"... BBC Interviewer: "And if Hillary Clinton had won the nomination, who would you be voting for?"... Woman: "I like Sarah more. She's more like me." ... Me: ... grinding, gut-wrenching sensation... isn't that EXACTLY the sentiment that gave us eight years of "W"? The one "you'd want to go out and have a beer with"... Help!)The last 24-48 hours at least have been all McCain all the time.
Guess what - well, gee, golly shucks - the next 24-48 hours are going to be about McCain's sudden, inexplicable (yeah, right!) 'surgre' in the polls; the "fighter" the new "come-back kid"... what a story - greatest comeback in the polls since the last-minute Carter-Reagan debate (not to mention the debacle in the dessert) allowed the actor a last minute surge to victory (and with it "Mourning in America"). At least that was somewhat driven by "real" events (the debate, a botched hostage rescue). If McCain 'surges' why will it be? Purely MEDIA driven ("left-wing liberal media..." give me a break!!).
As soon as American's attention to REAL issues (the Economy, stupid) started to seriously sink McCain, the media seems to have gone into overdrive in a desparate attempt to keep the horse-race going... Their (media's) self-interest in the horse-race (and advertising dollars in brings) may yet propel McCain (and heaven forbid... Palin) into the Presidency!For the first time in a long time, I'm getting a bad feeling. I hope Obama's ability to BUY time on TV in the US can short-cut this danger. I'm not seeing that overseas. On the news it's All McCain, All the Time.
After the worst week on Wall Street in U.S. history where the ripples are being felt clear across America and will continue to be felt for years to come, the tax payers will be bailing out incompetent and greedy executives on Wall Street. This shockwave felt by all of us has caused John McCain’s poll numbers to take a dive similar to the way the stock market. One because he has always been against regulation and now says he is for it. Also his economic advisor Phil Gramm wrote most of the laws that got us into this mess in the first place.
I do suspect panic is setting in within the McCain campaign where they must be thinking of how they can hit back. I would not put anything past them to fool the American people and to play on their hate and their fear. How dare they!
While Senator Obama came off as presidential yesterday as it was announced we the people would be bailing out these incompetent and greedy executives, it was Senator McCain who was acting like a crotchety old man sniping away at Barack Obama.
This posting is about an NPR story that aired on Wednesday, the 17th of September, 2008. The two segments focused on the presidential candidates solutions to the Wall Street crisis. It was ridiculous to see the kind of coverage that was being provided by NPR, a supposedly liberal station, and how unfair it was to Sen. Obama.
The first segment was on Sen. Obama's approach (by Scott Horsley, excuse the spelling). The second segment following this was about Sen. McCain's approach (by David Green). These two segments were supposed to be about how the candidates are handling the economic crisis plaguing Wall Street.
Unfortunately, because I am so interested in the Presidential election this year, but do not know any other media (I am not saying that they do not exist, I may not be "savy" enough to know how to get them) I am stuck with watching CNN. Campbell Brown (bless her. I love her now-a-days) in Election Center says "no bull" and Anderson Cooper in A360 says "we tell it like it is and leave you viewers to decide" but I believe overall that CNN has been very subtle in showing bais against Obama while supporting McCain.
By way of protesting and saying "enough is enough" and that we the viewers (or at least some of us) see right through the subtly. I know that CNN might accuse the Obama Campaign that this is an attempt to smear their effort. However, I would like to say that I am only using this Blog because I did not have the money to subscribe to my own domain name. For that matter, if I had my own domain name, it would have been www.thesubtlebiasesofcnnagainstobama.com (to be read as "the subtle biases of cnn against obama").
So here is how this would work. If you watch CNN on TV or read any bias report on Obama, I would want you to come to this Post and make a report on it in the following format. State the DATE of the report, the NAME of the anchor or reporter, the SOURCE of the bias (the TV program or online link) and the BIASED information.
To be fair to CNN, you are welcome to report any balanced report that you like too even though this Post is designed to expose the biases of CNN against Obama. As a check, you are welcome to refer to the transcripts posted by CNN or the online link of the biased report as a way to verify the report.
For the remaining 50 days of this election, you are encouraged to use the above domain name and invite me to make contributions to it. I am an Obama supporter for the following two reasons:
(1) McCain exercised poor judgment in supporting Bush to go to Iraq and violate a Nations sovereignty, thus depleting the effectiveness of the Afghanistan War.
(2) The Bush Administration has messed up this country in the last 8 years and the Republicans as McSame should not be rewarded even now as it is clear that Bush is wearing a camouflage with McCain's face as a mask.
I will now start by adding the biases that happened today on CNN TV

CANDY CROWLEY:
Anderson asked Candy if she thinks that both McCain and Obama are even with the level of lies that they have tolde (stretching the truth). I would say that Crowley who is supposed to report the truth as a reporter said that she was "not going to be the one to tell you whether it's equal or not". Fair enough. But her bias was revealed when she rather than at best remain neutral as she had purported to do, gave three examples of where she thinks Obama had strecthed the truth without, in the spirit of fairness, mentioning one single thing that McCain had strecthed. Luckily, thank God that Mr. Halperin was asked the same question and he was willing to tell the truth that we alll know.
Oh, by the way Crowley, as to your claim that Obama stretched the truth in misrepresenting McCain's "joke" that one has to have $5 million to qualify as being rich", was it Obama's fault that McCain quoted $5 million? Do you think that McCain actually had a lower figure in mind? You may claim that McCain was being politically savy by "making a joke out of a serious question that meant a lot to all middle-class Americans". But then, we the voters, who want an answer from McCain have no other choice but interpret McCain's answer in the same way that Obama did. Or Crowley, do you think we do not deserve an answer from McCain?
The wiki Pan - Arabism page
The Arab Contrieng's "objection" is mainly against Atabism's anti-Jewish section, which is of course only reaffirming again Arab racism by staunch Pro-Arabism.
(There's also a bias tendency on some at the wikipedia "administrators" to block certain users under a cover of baseless "charge" of sockpuppet-ing, no, not when it comes to anti Jewish racist editors...).
Well, here we reiterate it again, I am the editor and I distribute it to others [free to use it] who might use wikipedia [figthing unfairness & bias].
Well, here are a few points about the undisputable connection.
Another important point, the POV push by some on wikipedia that Arabism is 'only' secular is totally wrong, historically or present, though not always is it 'religious' either, but there have been Islamism & Arabism connection since the beginning, and still going on today.
Pan-Arabism's anti-Jewish ideology
The champion of pan-Arabism Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser used the infamous anti-Semitic "protocols" libel in his war against Israel. [29], Both pan-Arabism and pan-Islamic ideologies looked to Hitler's Germany as a model Haj Amin al-Husseini expressed his admiration for the way 'the Germans have definitively solved the Jewish problem,' [30] & Gamal Abdel Nasser's affinity for the Mufti was great [31], Joachim Wurst describes the emergence and psychological mechanisms of modern anti-Semitism and particularly of genocidal Islamist anti-Semitism. He traces the development of this trend from the Muslim Brotherhood and the Mufti of Jerusalem in the 1930s and 1940s through the pan-Arabism of the 1950s and 1960s up to the present-day Islamism. [32].
1800's & 1920's.
The origin of anti-Jewish feelings among Arabs do not originate from what they preceive as 'the occupation of Palestine' and the creation of Israel. Even before the creation of the Israeli state in 1948 on what was before Palestine, a largely uninhabited terrain, many Jews were recorded attacked in various settlements by Arabs since the late 1800's [33].

Pan-Arabism and Arabization - a movement for unification among the peoples and countries of the Arab World, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea. It is closely connected to Arab nationalism which asserts that the Arabs constitute a single nation. At times Pan-Arabism has tended to be secular and often socialist, but often it embeds within it Islamic tradition and culture or Islamism (like the genocide in Darfur). and has strongly opposed colonialism and Western political involvement in the Arab world. Also historic Arabizing of the middle east [1] and in Africa that process is still going on today [2]. Pan-Arabism is a form of nationalism and cultural nationalism .
There's a strong argument that Arabism was never detached from Islamism, To this day, Islam has retained its imperial ambitions. The dream of regional and world domination has remained very much alive, despite the destruction long ago of the last great Muslim empire, which has left the Islamic caliphate vacant. The 20th century doctrine of pan-Arabism (exemplified by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser), though secular in appearance, has been effectively Islamic in its ethos, worldview, and imperialist vision. Karsh quotes Nuri Said, longtime prime minister of Iraq and a prominent early champion of pan-Arabism: "Although Arabs are naturally attached to their native land, their nationalism is not confined by boundaries. It is an aspiration to restore the great tolerant civilization of the early caliphate." [3].
'Arabism Equals Racism', in an elaborated article, Gerald A. Honigman writes on the "acceptance of anyone else�s political rights in a multi-ethnic region that most Arabs see exclusively as "purely Arab patrimony." That's the Arab-Israel conflict in a nutshell; but it is also the core of the Arab-Berber, Arab-Kurd, Arab-Black African, Arab-Copt, Arab-Assyrian, Arab-non-Arab Lebanese conflicts, as well, among others. The Arabs' Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and their actions in Darfur and the rest of the southern Sudan are just a few of many examples of Arab genocidal actions against all who might disagree." [4].
Walid Phares writes about Arabism's denial of identity of millions of indigenous non-Arab nations as an ethnic cleansing on a politico-cultural level [5].
Christians of Iraq site published an extensive historic account on "The Foolishness of imposing Oppressive Arab Nationalism on Non Arabs, Non-Arab Muslim minorities such as the Amazigh, or Berbers, Kurds, and Turkmen found themselves officially out of favor. They faced the prospect of becoming "Arabized" or of being denied political and even civil rights. Groups that identified themselves as neither Arab nor Muslim had it even worse: Southern Sudanese, Copts, Jews, and Assyrians were plunged into a protracted nightmare that saw their communities ground into anonymity, forcing many to emigrate permanently. Even Maronites, whose retention of political power in Lebanon immunized them from utter marginalization, watched with alarm as Arab nationalist propaganda increasingly portrayed them as a foreign and sinister element in the heart of the Arab nation." [6]
Adel Makhoul wrote in May 1, 2005 about Pan-Arabists: Hiding Arab Racism, that they're agents of racism: Arab Racism, that always supported Arab unity and "Islam" at the expense of non-Arab and non-Moslem peoples and tries to deflect the world's attention from Arab and Moslem attrocities committed against Christians, Kurds, Jews, Israelis, Coptic Christians, non-Arab Sudanese, etc. he also points to the fact that Sadam Hussein's poisoning of the Kurds has never been condemned by one Arab intellectual or leader. This is because a racist prevalent attitude in the Arab mind is that the entire Middle East should be Arab. This also explains the attitude towards Israel, a country that is predominantly non-Moslem and speaks a Middle Eastern language other than Arabic.[7] Michael Totten decries the tired Arab nationalist myth that Arabism protects Christians. [8]
The linkage to terror - Protecting terrorism, Pan-Arabism: the inhuman progenitor of Islamic Terrorism [9].
A historic account of Pan-Arabism's Legacy of Confrontation with Iran & Arab racism against Iranians. [10], Iran Heritage says that It was in Saddam Hussein's Iraq where Arab racism attained its most vulgar ... The "Arabization" of Persian contributions on the world stage was in full. [11]
The Kurds in Syria between 2 to 2.5 million [12] they're second class citizens, for many not citizens at all, the attempts of Erasing Ethnic Identity. Syrian Kurds were banned from giving their children names reflecting their ethnic identity. Pary Karadaghi, Director of Kurdish Human Rights Watch in Washington, says one of the most basic ways of showing Kurdish identity was taken away. "The campaign of 'Arabization' actually replaced the Kurdish names, People could not have Kurdish names on cities, buildings [and] businesses. Children's names could not be Kurdish." Syria's Kurds struggle for years to survive despite government oppression on many fronts. [13] And a cry against syria's oppression has gone out. [14]
Iraq's Saddam Hussein's Anfal campaign was designed to depopulate ethnic cleansing the Kurdish regions in northern Iraq. [15], Kurdish writers decry the massacre of Halabja and The Racism of so-called Arab Intellectuals towards Kurds and Kurdistan [16] [17].
The UN documented the racism against Indigenous peoples Multi-ethnic States, The Imazighen Berbers are the indigenous peoples of northern Africa and the Sahel [18]. Despite Arabization's oppression in north-Africa, they are a proud people[19], Morocco's Berbers Battle to Keep Their Culture [20], in 2004 they spoke out and attacked Moroccan state racism [21]. Berber Leader Belkacem Lounes: �There Is No Worse Colonialism Than That of the Pan-Arabist Clan that Wants to Dominate Our People� [22].
Kabylia info writes about oppression and tyranny of its people by Arabic-Islamic colonialism [23], the IHT's description: This is Kabylia, one of Algeria's most restive regions - home to a stubborn and proud ethnic minority of Berbers who since the end of the colonial era four decades ago have fought to preserve their cultural identity and independence. [24]
SHEIK Taj Din al-Hilali: "The Western people are the biggest liars and oppressors and especially the English race," the Mufti of Australia said in Arabic during the extensive interview in Egypt, his birthplace. [25]
On the racist gang rape spree by Arab Lebanese in Australia targeting specifically white girls, From the Sydney Morning Herald 2002 Racist rapes: Finally the truth comes out, So now we know the facts, straight from the Supreme Court, that a group of Lebanese Muslim gang rapists from south-western Sydney hunted their victims on the basis of their ethnicity and subjected them to hours of degrading, dehumanising torture. The young women, and girls as young as 14, were "sluts" and "Aussie pigs", the rapists said. So now that some of the perpetrators are in jail, will those people who cried racism and media "sensationalism" hang their heads in shame? Hardly. [26]
Saudi Arabia's King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993: "I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave." [27]
In 2006 Arab "Youths� Kick Man to Death on Crowded Bus in Antwerp Belgium [28].
'Historical and Investigative Research' examins if Arab anti-Jewish racism in the first half of the 20th c. (that was marked already then with slaughtering of Jews with the racist shouting of Itbach al Yahud - kill the Jews) was fundamentally indifferent from the European variety [34]. On March 1, 1944. the famous Mufti: Amin Al-Husseini makes speech from Berlin addressing Muslim SS Nazi troops: �Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, History and Religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.� [35].
On Syria's Baathism's racism [36] Major ideas of Baathism center around racism and anti-Semitism. The Baath party stems from the Pan-Arab movement [37], examples: Syrian Daily Al Baath, October 21, 1998 had an antisemitic cartoon, and on October 21, 1998 on Syrian TV: In these days, all of us, Arabs and Muslims, must stand together against the Jews [38].
Egypt has played gross anti-Jewish TV extravaganza "Horse without Horseman" which also portrays the Arab/Israeli conflict in an antisemitic anti-Jewish format [39]. so does anti-Jewish themes in Hezbollah Media. [40] Memri So does the ADL [41], Saudi Arabia bans Jewish visitors [42]. Pew's finding in 2005 found that in Muslim nations such as Jordan most viewed Jews. [43].
But it knows no borders, of the ADL's records that documents antisemitic attacks wordlwide [44], the larger portion of those listed since 2002 (to 2008) were attributed to Arabs, especially those in Europe, in a sport game in Chile, Non-Jewish Goldberg (mistaken for Jew) made headlines after fans of Palestino, a Chilean team set up by Palestinian Arabs hurled racial slurs, 'They called me J. garbage' [45].
In 2007 the London editor of pan-Arab daily was praying for Iranian nuclear genocide attack on Israel [46] "if the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight." circulating its propaganda to about 50,000 readers [47].
Europe: A few examples in France: Already in October 2000 among a very long and troubling list of attacks, Jews threatened and shoved by Arabs outside O.Y. Synagogue in Paris (first of two incidents) & 'Death to Jews' painted on two Synagogues in Marseilles [48], between 2000-2001 200 Arabs attacked Jews on the Champs Elysees [49], in March 2003 French Arab Muslims attack Jews in Paris in an "anti-war" march [50], in 2003 Jewish congregations in Sweden have noted a sharp increase in "harassment threats and attacks by Arabs and Muslims against Jews [51], in 2004 Six Arab youths attacked a twenty three year old young mother with her thirteen month old baby [52] after "deciding" she was Jewish, cut her hair with knives, slashed her clothes and scrawled swastikas on her belly in black felt-tip pen [53],in March 2006 Jews attacked in Paris suburbs by Arabs [54] in June 2008 Jewish Boy Attacked by Arab Muslim Mob in Paris [55], A 17-year-old French Jew Rudy Haddad attacked by North-Africans (Arabs) Jewish teen brutally beaten in apparent anti-Semitic attack in Paris, "[Sarkozy] assures the victim and his family of his support and renews his total determination to fight all forms of racism and anti-Semitism," said a statement from Sarkozy's office. A 23-year-old French Jew, Ilan Halimi, was found naked, tortured and covered in burns near Paris on February 13, 2006, after being held captive for three weeks. He died on the way to the hospital. The crime shocked France and raised fears of surging anti-Semitism among French Muslims. In February of this year, another Jewish teenager was tortured in the same town in which Halimi was killed, in yet another anti-Semitic attack. [56].
At the UN, The Arab Lawyers Union of Egypt in Durban in 2001, distributed a booklet of violently Ani Jewish cartoons and has, since then, continued its incitement to Jew-hatred [57].
Jeremy Jones wrote in a report in 2004 on Australia that some of the most overt anti-Jewish rhetoric in recent years has come from the Muslim and Arab groups & communities, and within the Arab and Muslim communities there is a group of activists who seek at every opportunity to denigrate Jews, not only in association with attacks on Israel[1].
On campus: The university of Columbia's investigation into charges of anti-Jewish intimidation by Arab professors [58].
Harassment on Jewish students in Canadian universities by Arabs like in Carleton [59], Concordia University [60] which has been described by some as "centre of militant Arabism in Canada" [61]. [62] there were charges (in 2002) of militant Arabism in Canada's Concordia University.
More on campus, On May 7 2002, an example has been seen at the SFSU while a large, angry crowd of Arab Palestinians and their supporters swarmed a Jewish peace rally (where students wore t-shirts that said "peace" in English, Hebrew and Arabic) members, used physical violence, and shouted "Get out or we will kill you" and "Hitler did not finish the job" [63] [64] [65].
There are complaints against the Muslim Students Association MSA of racism against Jews coming from its Arabs, Muslims, in 2008 Author David Horowitz, a popular conservative writer, was derided in a Nazi-like anti-Semitic cartoon, put out by the Muslim Student Association. The cartoon, which was copied and spread around campus, portrays Horowitz, a Jewish man, as a hooked-nose Nazi hiding in a trash can [66].
Pundits explain that the conflict in the middle east Arabs Vs Israel (that started with racist massacers on Jews accompanied with the slogan "Itbach al Yahud - Kill the Jews" [67] already in the 1920's [68], through Hitler's buddy [69] the Mufti Mohammad Amin al-Husayni is just another Arab Muslim intolerance, the plight of Israel - being a minority in a majority hostile middle east. [70] [71] [72] And even progressive, left wingers in Israel realize that Arab racism must go, and that "There will be no peace around here before Arabs view Jews as human beings." [73], or as others have phrased it: Racism and Middle East Politics, As long as middle-eastern Arabs teach their children to hate Jews, there will be no lasting peace [74]. 'Facts and Logic About the Middle East' asks: Racism in the Islamic World How can peace prevail in the Middle East in the face of Islamic bigotry and hate? When will moderate Muslims speak out? [75], and the phenomenon of the new anti-Semitism which demonizes Jews and Israel alike, has fused itself with the "old" European anti Jewish bigotry [76]. Saddam Hussein's "Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews, and Flies" [77] who also led a racist [78] genocide campaign [79] against the Kurds, coincides with that in moments before his death, he shouted: 'Palestine is Arab', meaning only Arab. [80], as part of a culture of hatred, the racism that denies historic roots of the Jews to Israel [81].
The first recorded Arab attack on Jews in Palestine was already back in 1886 in Petach Tikva [82][83] [84] [85].
Regarding the racist expulsion of 850,000 to 900,000 Jews from Arab countries [86] [87] the ethnic cleansing of the Jews [88], the UN Watch Mar 19, 2008 has raised the importance of Historic truth in: Testimony at the UN - "Racism and Historical Truth: Jewish Refugees from Arab Lands" [89].
On anti-Jewish racism's effect on clarity of the middle east, Interfaith Office Acknowledges (May 2008) Anti-Jewish Motifs and Stereotypes in Commentary About Arab-Israeli Conflict [90], concern about Carter's pro-Arabism and veteran historian of Islam and the Middle East [91] & Bernard Lewis is concerned that the �Arab strain of racism, untruths and hatred against Jews and Israel is not only more virulent than its European counterpart, but is not counterbalanced by true scholarship or competing reason.� As a result, he believes, attitudes and beliefs �long discredited in the modernity of western countries take root with gullible, impressionable Middle Eastern audiences from a pre-modern culture.� [92].
There's extensive research on 'Palestinian Anti-Semitism' [93], In its official media, the PA daily described: The Fable of the Holocaust [94], the JCPA elaborates About Anti-Semitism among Palestinian Authority Academics and how The Palestinian Authority's academic anti-Semitism has built an extensive case against Jewish existence [95] This Palestinian racism is particularly dangerous because this hatred of Jews is portrayed as the will of Allah. [96] The Arab-Palestinian racism of killing only Jews In Israel, for the sole reason of being Jewish. they target every Jew, regardless of his or her individual political views, and they apologize when they accidentally kill a non-Jew, regardless of his political view. [97]
Rachel Neuwirth Wrote "Judenrein Palestine?" about Arabs forcing Israel to remove Jews from their historic Judea and asks: Why can�t Jews live in their historic homeland if there really is peace? After all, there are 1.2 million Arabs living as citizens of Israel in the one Jewish country in the world, while there are only a handful of Jews living in any of the 22 Arab countries. In fact, in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, not only is it illegal for Jews to be citizens, they are not even allowed to live there. Therefore, she proves, instead of Israel being the "apartheid state" in the region, it is the Arab world that is not only apartheid, but also racist and religiously exclusive" [98].
Arab Racism against Black Africans [99] [100], Darfur is but one example of Arab racism toward non-Arabs within the broader Arab world [101]. In the New York Times June 5, 1988 about Libya's leader: Qaddafi is bringing a truly racist crusade against Chad and Africa, Chad's President, Hissen Habre, told [102]. blacks who live in Arab countries subject to racism, most Arabs refer to blacks as "Abed" which means "slave" in Arabic. [103]. Umarlee details it: �Ugly Black Women�, Perfect Arab Wives, and Matters of Race, Arab racism is not akin to American white racism. Let it be said that Arab racism is different from white (American) racism [104]. In an article in The Guardian 2008, titled 'A paler shade of black' a former Sudanese Arab described his growing up (by his family) as "superior" to blacks, that were referred to as "abd" (slave), yet when he moved to Saudi Arabia he found out that his Arabness didn't measure up, he wasn't Arab enough in Saudi Arabia's racist society. [105] Some charge the Arab attitude on Darfur, 'to the True Nature of the Twin Fascisms of Islamism and Pan-Arabism' [106].
Eritreans in Egypt suffer from racism [107], in 2008 alone at least 20 Darfurian refugees (who tried to break free from Egypt's oppression into democratic Israel) have already died at the hands of Egyptian forces [108].
Palestinian-Arab Racism: Secretary of State Rice has been the subject of some vicious racial attacks [109] including an anti-black Racist Rice Cartoon in Palestinian Authority's controlled Press Al Quds 'Black spinster' label pinned on Condi Rice Palestinian media use racist terms including 'colored dark skin lady'[110] Condemned by Black Activists [111].
The Christian Science Monitor 2004 affirms that Racism is at root of Sudan's Darfur crisis [112], a writer at RaceandHistory.com calls it 'Arab Racism And Imperialism In Sudan' [113], Darfur crisis linked to Arab racism, Slavery [114]. and this genocide has been described as an example of Arab racism at its worst [115]. Sudanese decry the "Apology of racism", that some Sudanese people of Arabic origin consider themselves superior than the indigenous Sudanese [116]. Der Spiegel writes about the Janjaweed: Sudan's War within a War - regime that uses tribal conflicts and Arab racism [117]. Pundits of Sudan write about "Arab racism, Islamic bigotry and discriminatory practices are the most divisive issues in the Sudan" and its terrible effect, crimes on non-Arab Sudanese [118].
I found the following commentary by Roland Martin, Political Analyst and CNN Radio Talk Show Host and regular CNN Contributor, regarding the race, age, and gender issues in the current Presidential election. Please read this. It will help you close the gap with your friends and colleagues that may be suffering from these unfortunate biases. Don't let them try and fool you with their nonsense rhetoric when trying to explain why they prefer John McCain over Barack. Call them out!
According to a very interesting and well researched article by Seth Colter Walls the short answer is YES. Polling does not sample recently registered voters and typically the reach out to equal numbers of democrats and republicans causing data to be skewed because there are about eleven million more registered democrats in the United States.
I think we can all agree most if not all media has a bias. I hear this Republican chant "All media is liberal." I watch a mix of CNN and FOX. When I watch CNN I typically get bored, and flip through to something else, but when I watch FOX I get fired up. After watching FOX news for a good hour it makes everything seem liberal. I thought for a moment my grilled cheese sandwhich was liberally biased.
Out of sheer bordeom I spent a good 30 minutes googling where Fox coined the term Fair & Balanced. Where they get Fair & Balanced from is beyond my intellectual capability. Like most media I am sure that they ad lib their news reports. What I think they do is they gather some facts, and then search some synonyms for the word experience, insert opinions, and spin it to all hell. BAM, just like Emeril in the kitchen, they have their story.
They have their "All-Star" panel. Which I am confused to how that is fair and balanced. Dick Morris? Mr. double standard himself. It was ok to lay the smackdown on Hillary back in the primaries, and take it like a man, but it's not ok for Palin? Bill Kristol. Well, almost anyone who has watched FOX would know if Senator Obama obtained World Peace, Cured Cancer, Stopped Aids, and ridded the world of poverty, he would pop on his smerk smile and ridicule him for something.
I try not to be so negative, but somethings are just irritating. They never give him props for anything. they try and nail him for voting against the troop surge. I am glad he did not vote for it. We the people were lead into a war, and lied to non-stop for years about it. So, when W steps up to the podium and says in his suttle southern accent "We need more troops." Why the hell would you take his word, and/or judgement seriously? His has misguided us for 8 years. Obama made a great choice based off of what was happening in Iraq, and what needed to happen. What would have happened if he voted yes on the troop surge? Fox News would have called him a flip flop. They would've have burned it into the heads of everyone who flips through and lands on their network.
tom-speed
If you honestly do support Obama over McCain, please Carville, stop talking! Your residual bias against him, left over from a hard loss for your choice, Hillary Clinton, is impeding your ability to help the man you claim to hope will be elected!
Carville, you are so infuriating! And, CNN, you should be ashamed. There are 2 reasons Karl Rove should not be working for Fox News as a "political analyst." One is irrelevant, that he is a criminal who should be prosecuted for crimes committed by him. The other is that if he can be working for Fox News, it should be as a "Republican strategist"! Introduce him with his bias! Similarly, Carville should not be simply labeled a "Democratic Strategist", he should be introduced as a Hillary Clinton supporter for the presidency. Everything he says is biased against his former opponent, Barack Obama. Meanwhile, he sits there obligated to give his honest, biased opinion to the nation for CNN, and he is hurting the Democratic Party which he claims to represent! If he would come out and declare himself to be a McCain supporter, then fine, but still introduce him as a former supporter of Hillary's. But, if he claims to be a supporter of Obama's, how can he actually sit there, and help John McCain by bashing the Convention in Denver before it even really began?
I'm deeply troubled by the tendency of the mass media to editorialize the news. While Republicans have consistently criticized the news media as leftist, I am finding that the opposite is true. Unfortunately, we've grown accustomed to this sort of bias from a Fox News; we expect better from the AP.Witness the title of an AP article on Saturday, August 23: "Biden pick shows lack of confidence." This should be an op-ed piece rather than an AP article. In fact, I could argue that the opposite is true. By choosing a strong vice-president, one who speaks his mind and has disagreed with the candidate on a number of issues, Obama shows confidence in his ability to work with somebody who is not just a "yes-man." Biden, having been Chairman of the Foreign Relation committee, is precisely the sort of resource that will make an Obama Administration powerful and effective. Certainly Senator Biden is qualified to lead the United States in an emergency. And finally, to change the status quo in terms of ethics and external influence in Washington, one must work from within the system.
Russia Never Wanted a War
By MIKHAIL GORBACHEV - August 19, 2008
..Tskhinvali was in smoking ruins and thousands of people were fleeing — before any Russian troops arrived. Yet Russia was already being accused of aggression; news reports were often an embarrassing recitation of the Georgian leader’s deceptive statements.It is still not quite clear whether the West was aware of Mr. Saakashvili’s plans to invade South Ossetia, and this is a serious matter. What is clear is that Western assistance in training Georgian troops and shipping large supplies of arms had been pushing the region toward war rather than peace....Those who rush to judgment on what’s happening in the Caucasus, or those who seek influence there, should first have at least some idea of this region’s complexities. The Ossetians live both in Georgia and in Russia. The region is a patchwork of ethnic groups living in close proximity. Therefore, all talk of “this is our land,” “we are liberating our land,” is meaningless. We must think about the people who live on the land.The problems of the Caucasus region cannot be solved by force. That has been tried more than once in the past two decades, and it has always boomeranged.What is needed is a legally binding agreement not to use force.

Illinois Governor Blagojevich: Did he sell the contract at Sheridan Correctional Center to the highest bidder?
How much of this money did Governor Blagojevich and his corrupt regime pocket? Did WestCare Foundation, Inc. pay Governor Blagojevich and his corrupt regime for this contract at Sheridan Correctional Center? Is the Federal Government investigating the contracts awarded to Sheridan Correctional Center? The Human Resource Development Institute, Inc. (HRDI) was one of the bidders for this contract. HRDI is a community-based social service agency providing optimal and comprehensive substance abuse services in Chicago. HRDI has a contract providing substance abuse services at the Cook County Jail in Chicago. HRDI is culturally sensitive and has a diverse employee base proportionate to the population at Sheridan. As compared to the racist attitudes and behaviors of the present employees of WestCare Foundation, Inc. at Sheridan. Why didn't Governor Blagojevich give the contract to an Illinois community-based organization. The contract to provide substance abuse services at Sheridan is worth $26,137,309.47. The taxpayers of Illinois are footing this bill. WestCare Foundation, Inc. is based and has its corporate offices in Las Vegas, Nevada. Why did Governor Blagojevich and his corrupt regime give this contract to an organization outside of Illinois? Who in the Governor's office profitted from this award? The following below is the data on this contract.

Federal authorities arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich Tuesday on charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder.Blagojevich also was charged with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field, according to a federal criminal complaint. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.
A 76-page FBI affidavit said the 51-year-old Democratic governor was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.
Otherwise, Blagojevich considered appointing himself. The affidavit said that as late as Nov. 3, he told his deputy governor that if "they're not going to offer me anything of value I might as well take it."
I have been writing to Federal and Illinois Government officials in Illinois for the last 2 years about alleged corruption in Governor Blagojevich’s office. I wrote President-elect Obama when he was an Illinois Senator. When I worked at Sheridan Correctional Center as a clinical supervisory counselor I suggested corruption in the Governor’s office and Sheridan Correctional Center when AFSCME Union Local 31 conducted a strike at Sheridan Correctional Center on June 6, 2006. I suggested corruption in the Governor’s office with the contract given to West Care Foundation, Inc. at Sheridan Correctional Center to provide counseling services to the inmates. West Care Foundation, Inc. is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. My employment at Sheridan Correctional Center was terminated on or about May 15, 2008. I was a supervisor. When Warden Michael Rothwell took my security clearance on or about May 15, 2008 he did not give me a reason. I wrote Illinois Department of Corrections’ Director Roger Walker, who has not answered my letter to give me a reason why they took my security clearance. Read my writings regarding the indifferent and disparate treatment, and racism at Sheridan Correctional Center on my blog at http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/ and on President-elect Obama’s website. I am posting this comment on my blogs at http://clickforjusticeandequality.wordpress.com/, www.frednance.newsvine.com/ and http://click.townhall.com/, and on President-elect Obama’s website.

Update: September 5, 2008
While working at Sheridan Correctional Center my car was a victim of a hit-and-run accident. I filed all the necessary paperwork with the State of Illinois' Court of Claims, Case #07CC3511. Commissioner David Neal of 116 N. Chicago Street, Suite 602, Joliet Illinois was assigned the case to adjudicate it. On September 5, 2008 I received a call from the Illinois Attorney General Office, specifically, Mr. Robert Sklamberg stated that his client "Sheridan Correctional Center" is denying fault. My car was parked in Sheridan Correctional Center's parking lot when it was hit. The Second Chance Act of 2007 signed by President Bush on April 9, 2008 will be appropriated in 2009. The Second Chance Act of 2007 is about reducing recidivism in the United States of America. Governor Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois believes the Sheridan Project, housed in Sheridan Correctional Center, is our National Model for reducing recidivism. The Sheridan Project at Sheridan Correctional Center in Illinois is a National Model for racial discrimination and disparities, indifferent treatment, corruption, harassment and intimidation. It will not reduce recidivism because of these practices. It will not reduce recidivism with the budget cuts by Illinois Governor Blagojevich. It will not reduce recidivism because of the criminal thinking and behaving of the correction officers. Why would it be the National Model for reducing recidivism? How will you address Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s Sheridan Project housed in Sheridan Correctional Center at Sheridan Illinois? Are you interested in reducing recidivism? Do you know that 1 in 100 Americans is incarcerated? When they return to our communities and are rehabilitated, they are the Second Chance Act of 2007. I am the Second Chance Act of 2007. Will future rehabilitated individuals be treated like I was at Sheridan Correctional Center as an employee of WestCare Foundation, Inc.? What will you do about this situation? Examine the letter written to President Bush. After this read, read the letter dated May 12, 2008 to Governor Blagojevich for the details. May 19, 2008 President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Re: The Second Chance Act, the Illinois Department of Corrections-Sheridan Correctional Center and WestCare Foundation, Inc. Mr. President: On or about April 9, 2008, you signed into law “The Second Chance Act.” Sir, I am “The Second Chance Act.” I was locked out of Sheridan Correctional Center (Sheridan) by Warden Michael Rothwell and the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). My “Illinois Contract” employer, WestCare Foundation, Inc. (WestCare), terminated my employment suggesting the termination is due to IDOC locking me out from my employment. I have filed a claim of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against IDOC and WestCare. I am sending you the following documents to suggest the conspiracy, discrimination and nefarious acts of IDOC and WestCare against me and “The Second Chance Act of 2007.” The documents are as follows: State of Illinois-Labor Dispute Appeal Recommended Decision, dated November 29, 2006 State of Illinois-Labor Dispute Appeal Decision of the Director of Employment Security, dated December 22, 2006 WestCare Employee Discussion Report suggesting a sexual harassment charge by Melinda Gubbels and creating a hostile environment charge by Kyra Peters, dated November 8, 2007 Letter to WestCare’s Human Resource Senior Vice President Michael Shields, dated November 8, 2007, regarding Discussion Report dated November 8, 2007 Advocacy Letter to the Honorable Congressman Danny Davis, dated November 15, 2007 Letter to Michael Shields regarding the WestCare Employee Discussion Report of November 8, 2007, dated November 16, 2007 regarding Ms. Melinda Gubbels false charges of sexual harassment against me E-mail to Stanley Brooks and Michael Shields regarding the WestCare Employee Discussion Report Conference of November 16, 2007 WestCare Employee Discussion Report finding me innocent of the false charges brought against me by Melinda Gubbels and Kyra Peters leading to my 2nd lockout from Sheridan, but alleging other “communication” charges against me, dated November 16, 2007 Letter to EEOC to supplement my charge of Discrimination, dated November 19, 2007 Letter to the Honorable Governor of Illinois, Rod R. Blagojevich, regarding my “experiences” at Sheridan, dated May 12, 2008 EEOC amended charge and additional charge against IDOC and WestCare, dated May 12, 2008 Termination of Employment letter from WestCare, dated May 14, 2008 Fred L Nance Jr. Curriculum Vitae and cover letter to a “new” employer, dated May 14, 2008 Sir, there may not be anything you can do about my situation. Nevertheless, I thought it imperative to send this letter to inform you and your committee of how “The Second Chance Act of 2007” is carried out by the Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically, Sheridan Correctional Center and WestCare Foundation, Inc. The Second Chance Act of 2007 is meant to reduce recidivism. It appears Sheridan and WestCare may not be part of this reduction process if they continue to operate in the manner spoken of in my writings. Recidivism can be reduced. I am a part of this reduction, but my rehabilitation did not come from IDOC or WestCare. My rehabilitation came from understanding what honesty, integrity and truth is all about. Respectfully submitted, Fred Nance Jr., ABD, MA, CADC, NCRS cc: The Honorable Congressman Danny Davis Equal Employment Opportunity Commission http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/ May 12, 2008 Honorable Rod R. Blagojevich Governor of Illinois, Office of the Governor 207 State House Springfield, Illinois 62706 Re: Sheridan Project – EEOC Charge #440-2007-04512 Governor: I, Fred L Nance Jr., am African American and I have a pending discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against WestCare Foundation, Inc., which began on or about April 16, 2007, amended on May 7, 2007. On May 12, 2008 I will add the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) to this charge of discrimination and indifferent treatment. I am working at Sheridan Correctional Center to reduce recidivism. One of the things that the “white” establishment at Sheridan resents most is that I am at the end of my doctoral program. When I was incarcerated for the 1st and only time in IDOC, I was 42-years-old without a G.E.D. I know what it takes to reduce recidivism. Racism and indifferent treatment does not reduce recidivism. Criminal activity flourishes with it. Individuals like me are not given the opportunities to make a change in a person’s life, maybe because of job security. IDOC may not want to reduce recidivism. IDOC may not want to honor the “Second Chance Act of 2007”, but I am sure they want to get the monies from the Act. Where is my “Second Chance?” Does the “Second Chance Act of 2007” relate to me? Am I apart of it? I cannot tell from the behaviors of IDOC and WestCare. On Mother’s Day, May 11, 2008, Mr. Stanley Brooks, Director of WestCare Illinois/Sheridan Correctional Center (Sheridan) called me stating I had a “stop order” on me, which means I am “locked out” of Sheridan. Mr. Brooks reports he does not know why I was “locked out” but that he was sent an email stating he should inform me. Sir, I am not a security risk. This is the 3rd time I have been “locked out” at Sheridan. Mr. Brooks did not know if my employment with WestCare was terminated also. If I was “white” this would not be happening to me. “White” supervisors and line-staff have had many issues with “black” inmates and have not been treated as I am treated. This is clearly discrimination and indifferent treatment. As you may remember, I was locked out of IDOC/Sheridan “illegally” by Warden Michael Rothwell (white/male) during the AFSCME union strike on June 6, 2006. On November 29, 2006 the Illinois Department of Employment Security rendered a decision, which states in part “…In the matter of the appeal of: Fred Nance Jr., Claimant-Employee of Gateway Foundation, Inc…The unemployment of the non-participatory claimant-appellants is not due to a work stoppage caused by the labor dispute…It was the unilateral actions of IDOC…The actions of IDOC were separate and the only cause of the claimant’s unemployment.” On December 22, 2006 Ms. Brenda Russell, Director of Employment Security, confirmed this decision. I received my unemployment insurance. Sir, this present “lock out” is the continuous retaliation from IDOC and WestCare employees that I have suffered under since returning to work at Sheridan on September 6, 2006 after the AFSCME union strike. I have had to fight to retain my employment at Sheridan for nearly 2 years. I have had an onslaught of misinformation against me by WestCare and IDOC personnel, such as in November of 2007 WestCare employees Melinda Gubbels (white/female) filed a false charge of sexual harassment and Kyra Peters (white/female) filed a false charge of a hostile environment with WestCare against me. Ms. Gubbels and Ms. Peters suffered no consequences from filing these false charges with WestCare. WestCare did nothing to them. I was “locked out” from my employment with WestCare for 2 weeks because of these false charges. When it was time for the accusers to face me with their accusations, Ms. Gubbels called off sick and Ms. Peters was never summoned by WestCare management for testimony. To add insult to injury, I was forced to work with Ms. Gubbels. WestCare did not transfer Ms. Gubbels from under my supervision after she filed these false charges against me. More issues arose and finally, WestCare transferred Ms. Gubbels to another building. There were still no consequences for filing the false charges against me. On July 16, 2007 I was promoted to clinical supervisor. I was assigned to building C6. On or about April 21, 2008 Warden Rothwell made WestCare transfer me to building C25/C Hall because of false complaints from IDOC and WestCare staff, and inmates. By transferring me to C25/C Hall, WestCare decided to transfer supervisor Denise Perry (black/female) to C6. I was told that Denise had created a bad reputation for herself with the inmates and IDOC personnel in C25/C Hall. What I was not told is that the inmates on C25/C Hall were incorrigible because they had no structure nor could structure manifest itself because of the WestCare staff and IDOC personnel. Here is another most recent account of activity at Sheridan with WestCare and IDOC staff. In February of 2008 I conducted supervision on WestCare employee Justin Brewster (white/male under 40-years-old). Justin was upset because I reprimanded him on his poor work performance and attendance, which I documented and placed in his file. Justin adamantly requested a transfer to another building. Justin was transferred to C25/C Hall. Building C6 Correctional Officers’ Mr. Forsyth (white/male) and Mr. Mann (white/male) told WestCare staff assigned to building C6 they could use their badges or any other objects to open the door to the bubble where security resides because the correctional officers were not going to get up from their seats every time someone wanted to come in the bubble to use the bathroom. I heard Correctional Officer Mr. Mann tell Jamie to use her ID badge to open the door to the bubble whenever she wanted to come inside. When I first saw WestCare employee Jamie Barringer using her badge to open the C6 bubble door, I warned her about it in front of Correctional Officers Forsyth and Mann. I was standing inside the bubble at the time. I informed Jamie, right in front of Mr. Mann and Mr. Forsyth, that if she used her ID to open that door I would write her up. I also informed Lt. Truitt of Sheridan’s Internal Affairs Department that the Correctional Officers in C6 were allowing WestCare staff to use their ID badges to open the bubble door. Lt. Truitt told me at that time that I am always to write incident reports on anything I see that should not be going on. I am not sure of what Lt. Truitt did about this incident, but I have quickly learned not to ask that question. One of the reasons I was transferred to C25/C Hall is because Correctional Officers Forsyth and Mann wrote an incident reports stating I said I run C6. Along with the Correctional Officer’s incident report they encouraged WestCare employees Justin Brewster and Charolette Hooper (black/female) to write statements supporting their incident report saying I said I run C6. Before Justin and Charolette wrote these statements, I warned them both about using their ID badges to open the bubble where the Correctional Officers are positioned. I saw both of them using their badges to open the bubble door. After I was transferred to C25/C Hall, I heard that Charolette is still using her ID badge to open the bubble door in C6. In addition, after I was informed I would be transferred to C25/C Hall, I found out Justin was going to be transferred back to C6 when I was transferred to C25/C Hall. I informed Director, Stanley Brooks, that if Justin was moved back to C6 I would file a grievance on these issues concerning Justin. Mr. Brooks told me Justin would not be transferred to C6. Mr. Brooks told me Justin would be transferred somewhere because he would not let me get “set up” like that in C25/C Hall. Mr. Brooks may have made this statement because I informed him I could not work with Justin after he falsified that statement to get me transferred out of C6. Nevertheless, Sandy Smith (white/female) assured Justin remained on C25/C Hall when I was transferred there. Now I had to deal with Justin and Sandy Smith in C25/C Hall. Sandy Smith has been mentioned in many of my writings to EEOC because of her involvement with the harassment, intimidation, punishment and intimidation upon me at Sheridan. After being transferred to C25/C Hall, I wrote some incident reports and tickets. On April 28, 2008 I wrote a ticket on an inmate for assault, creating a dangerous disturbance, threats and intimidation and insolence because this inmate pushed me out of the way and entered my office, and then started talking out loud in front of other inmates about what he did creating a dangerous disturbance. Lt. Truitt and I discussed this ticket. Lt. Truitt and I modified the ticket so that the client could remain in Sheridan to receive more therapeutic treatment. On May 1, 2008 at approximately 9:10 am I typed an incident report on 6 inmates who were creating a dangerous disturbance on C25/C Hall. When I typed the incident report on May 1, 2008 and sent it over the computer it went to WestCare’s Regional Vice President Leslie Balonick and to Springfield, Illinois, probably one of IDOC’s main offices. Ms. Balonick contacted Sandy Smith. Sandy Smith came to C25/C Hall to inquire about the incident. The May 1, 2008 incident report happened at approximately 8:15 am. Only 2 WestCare staff showed up for work on May 1, 2008. The handwritten copy of the incident report did not get to the shift commander until approximately 11:30 am. I had to write it by hand after typing it on the computer because the computer generated incident report blended the inmate names into the text of the document. I explained this to the “powers” that be at Sheridan. In addition, when the incident report of May 1, 2008 happened at 8:15 am, I alerted Correctional Officer Churchill. Correctional Officer Churchill responded to the incident, talked to the inmates, and locked the inmates up in their cells at approximately 8:40 am but did not report it to his building Sergeant. Evidently, when the shift commander alerted Warden Rothwell at approximately 11:30 am, because of the numerous inmates involved and found out the Sergeant did not know, the Correctional Officers were feeling nervous and embarrassed, while they looked for a scapegoat, which turned out to be me. Since IDOC officers did not want to take the blame for dropping the ball, suffering embarrassment and consequences, they blamed me and told me I could not go back in the building because I was a threat to the inmates. Sandy Smith gave me up to them because she knew the circumstances because I told her and she did not act in my behalf when IDOC staff and Warden Rothwell looked for a scapegoat and someone to blame. Warden Rothwell issued an order denying me access to my work assignment in C25/C Hall. On May 9, 2008 I wrote an incident report on 7 inmates who were creating a dangerous disturbance. Part of the incident was that an inmate was sharing an emotional story about his family when another inmate teased him about it. The inmate sharing stopped telling his story and warned the other inmate about his actions. The inmates began approaching each other and I intervened to prevent them from fighting. After this was over, I had to write a ticket on an inmate (who was part of the original 7) for threats and intimidation and insolence because this inmate rose up from his seat and began to approach me in a dangerous way to do bodily harm to me, as the other 4 inmates left were continuing to negatively influence these issues. There are 80 inmates out of their cells, on C Hall in C25 during the AM group, which I was facilitating by myself because the 2 staff present did not get involved in assisting me when the issues arose. With 80 inmates out of their cells at one time without any Correctional Officer present; anything can happen, at anytime with an inmate. This could create a dangerous disturbance. There was no IDOC/WestCare staff support for me on the Hall. I had to handle the situations the best I knew how by myself. Building C25 was closed for a period of time this year because of safety issues like this. At times, you have IDOC staff sitting in the bubble with sun glasses on, and probably sleep. There were times when it took forever to get an office door open. On May 9, 2008 Sandy Smith informed me that Director Stanley Brooks told her to tell me I could not go back to C25/C Hall but that I had to stay in C8 for the remainder of the day. I informed Sandy Smith that I was leaving work because I did feel well and that I was going to meet my wife at the doctor for her appointment to get results regarding the possibility of her having Thyroid cancer. It was not until I talked to Stanley Brooks on Mother’s Day, May 11, 2008, that I learned from talking to Mr. Brooks that he told Sandy Smith to tell me to come to C8 to receive a call from him so I could tell him what was going on in C25/C Hall on May 9, 2008. Sandy Smith lied to me to meet her own means, which was to embarrassment, harass, intimidate and threaten me. Sandy Smith, along with the IDOC staff she engaged on the issues of May 9, 2008, denied me access to my work assignment. Sandy Smith always operates this way when it comes to dealing an issue involving me. This is why I informed Mr. Brooks that I did not trust her. The message to me is I cannot write an incident report or a ticket, and if I do I will get punished and embarrassed. IDOC and Sandy Smith are also sending a message telling me I cannot do a good job if I am trying to structure C25/C Hall. They do not want me to succeed. No other supervisor or line-staff person is punished and embarrassed for structuring their building, writing incident reports or tickets but me. This is indifferent treatment. This is blatant discrimination. This is a story of discrimination and indifferent treatment. I am treated at Sheridan differently than similarly situated employees of WestCare. Presently, I am being punished, harassed, intimidated and threatened by IDOC personnel because I wrote incident reports and tickets on inmates. IDOC personnel and WestCare continue to promote that they cannot tell you not to write an incident report and ticket, but since I did I am being punished, harassed, intimidated and threatened. I guess it has worked because now I am “locked out” from my employment. The only threat I pose to IDOC and WestCare is that I will speak the truth and I will not compromise my ethics, integrity or morals, and I will write my story. Most importantly, what is the message being sent to the inmates seeking treatment in a therapeutic community? The inmates can see that IDOC and WestCare are sicker than they are. There are many more inmates seeking my assistance and appreciate me more than there are against me. The inmates tell me everyday. IDOC staff and WestCare supervisory staff on C25/C Hall are not sending the right message to the clients. The clients know now they can split staff and accomplish their goals of continued criminal thinking and behaving. How does this promote a reduction in recidivism Mr. Governor? I informed Mr. Brooks that Sandy Smith referred a client home who is in Phase 1 of his treatment, instead of referring him to a halfway house or recovery home. This is one of the client’s who was listed on the May 1, 2008 incident report I wrote. I believe this client has been in the program for more than a year. I believe this client is in Phase 1 of treatment because he went to Segregation. I discovered this mishap while discussing the client’s 120 discharge plans. Also, when I assumed the duties of supervisor on C25/C Hall I discovered that the inmates filling out applications for Phase 4 were not qualified according to Mr. Brooks criteria/eligibility requirements. I had to deny these clients Phase 4. They were highly angry at me. I asked the staff “Why did they refer clients who did not meet the criteria/eligibility requirements?” The staff told me they just gave out applications. How does this happen? Is this going to reduce recidivism? Sir, I am seeking your intervention in this matter. The Sheridan Project is constructed to reduce recidivism. The IDOC and WestCare staff that I have mentioned in this writing is not promoting the mission of the Sheridan Project. I should not have suffered indifferent treatment and discrimination in employment with WestCare. No other WestCare staff has been treated like I have over the duration of my employment with Gateway/WestCare at Sheridan. Racism flourishes at Sheridan. If a female staff of WestCare had complained in writing about an inmate threatening and intimidating them, the inmate would have been taken to Segregation. If a female staff had written an incident report like mine, the inmates would have been locked up. If a “white” staff person had written reports like mine, the inmates would have been locked up. I had a client once where a “white” female sent the client to Segregation because his fingernails were too long. Because writings had my name on it, it made me a target for IDOC and WestCare employees who differ with my politics. Sir, I started a book for publication on the Sheridan Project months ago. I have enough data to make a good read. I have shared a lot of it on the Internet in the past. What has happened in the past 16 months to me will not make for a good ending to my book on the Sheridan Project. How can we make this work? One should never mess with a person’s livelihood. To lock me out from Sheridan and take my employment is to take food out of my family’s mouth. How do you think I will react? How would you react? Please respond.

The Fox Network constantly blares about its "Fair and Balanced" coverage of news and events, claiming "we report, you decide". On the O'Reilly Factor and the Hannity/Colmes show, they also accuse the mainstream media, CBS, MSNBC and others to be "in the tank for Obama". Yes, the "media" in general is more favorably disposed to Obama; however, the "media" is NOT engaged in a daily campaign of innuendo, ridicule, fear mongering and character assasination against Senator McCain, the way the Fox Sean Hannity Show is against Senator Obama.
Night after Night for the last four months, Sean Hannity has recited his same hackneyed phrases, ran the same video clips, interviewed the same band of "objective" analysts (harcore Republican operatives like Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich and Bay Buchanan, coupled with still angry Clinton supporters) and all the while constantly posturing in an imperious tone, wearing a sophomoric grin and wrapping himself in the flag. His latest deprecation is to constantly refer to Senator Obama as "the organizer". To "couterbalance" this assault, the show offers a weak counterpoint in Liberal Alan Colmes who is too timourous to effectively challenge Hannity and his cohorts in any forceful and meaningful way. And when Colmes is out, the guest "fillins" are either punching bags for Hannity or, even worse, put on an totally inept performance such as Susan Estrich last week.
The Fox Network should have the decency to warn the viewer that they are getting anti Obama propaganda, not reasoned opinion, and certainly not objective two-sided discussion.
