During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

His speech that day.

Country music television (owned by ultra liberal and woke MTV) banned this song.

Try That In A Small Town
Jason Aldean
EXPLICIT
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town

Nearly every day a new video gets posted on news or social media of a fight breaking out on an airplane or inside an airport. Chill out people... crowded airports, flight delays agitated travelers are becoming a norm.
A friend who has a home and business in New York City, often travels to South Florida to his 2nd home. Last weekend there was trouble on the flight and the airplane loaded with passengers awaiting a departure sat in line for 3 hours waiting for takeoff.
Expecting to arrive in the evening turned into late night and all his plans had to be canceled. He frequently travels in business and understands delays but commented the airlines need to fix this problem.

Expecting to arrive early for an important meeting and you miss the meeting or it gets rescheduled forcing you to return another day gets very costly.

There was a time, when someone on a plane got out of control, the plane turned back making all the other passengers suffer. I think the new procedure is to zip-tie the offender, drag them to the back of the aircraft and have police/security 'escort them' when the plane lands.

An International Artists' Village as a social enterprise in the form of a self-managing cooperative.
For a life of prosperity & community, "Living like God in France".

In times of social upheaval, community projects are becoming more and more necessary for each individual and for humanity as a whole, in order to better face and master the challenges of the New Era....

With internationally known and local artists, the ARTlantica artist colony is founded on an attractively located area in Southern Europe as a multi-generational project, which provides architecturally attractive and organic buildings in wood and clay construction in the form of a spiral-shaped eco-settlement and which acts as a nucleus for further settler foundations - for a life in prosperity, health and with nature.
The aim is to be associated with EuroArt, the European network of artists' villages with the ARTlantica artists' village. The first location may be in southern Portugal.

The cooperative ARTlantica- artist village will attract visitors from all over the world.
In the past, artists' villages or districts have maintained their position as attractive settlement approaches up to the present day and continue to act as magnets to initially attract people from all over the world who are interested in art, whose charisma has also attracted and continues to attract other residents.
In addition to the artistic success and the buildings, these villages and neighborhoods also soon enjoyed economic success, which then, however, often drove away the original initiators and residents. Well-known examples are Greenwich Village/New York, Worpswede near Bremen, Ahrenshoop on the Baltic Sea or Kroszian in Croatia.

Some people has always a negative approach to the blog. :::::

In my opinion which is not good.
Unfortunate its their mind set.

What's the best method of treating convicted murderers? Should they be given life in prison, or sent away to a penal colony for hard labor, or maybe a life sentence in traditional prison. Maybe it depends on the particular case in question. If the circumstances were unclear as to the intention, but a life was taken and found guilty, perhaps prison only. Murder of a child, perhaps death penalty. Murder of anyone, which sentence and does it matter? Or maybe the death sentence should never be used as the taking of life as a punishment is behaving like the criminal.
Which punishment would make the best deterrent to crime?
What form of death should be used? Hanging, electrocution, drugs?
What about sending person to a penal colony away from normal civilisation?
Can you ever be sure of the guilty verdict?

I'm getting a history lesson today about Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England. Sadly in 1536 at the age of 35 she was beheaded.
There are a few paintings of her, none were impressive... but I found a video that did her story and at the end they did some computer animations of what she would have looked like in modern times. The suggested creation (at 20 minutes into the video) is stunning.







If you don't have time for the video, the comparison is here:



From this website:

ROSA KLEBB was a villain created by Ian Fleming and appeared in his story, From Russia With Love. She was head of SMERSH ( Smiert Spionam - Death to spies ), an official murder organisation of the Russian KGB ( now FSB ), employing around 40, 000 men and women.
Klebb is described as 5' 4'', squat with dumpy arms and short neck, pear shaped hips, hair scraped back into a tight bun, glasses, thickly powdered large pored nose, wet trap of a mouth, big ears.
I would imagine she would live alone, unloved and kept at a distance. This would have caused her to be bitter and frustrated. She would then unleash her frustration on other people.
She may have infiltrated and appear on this site, and I'm sure I've seen a person that fits the above physical and mental description. So, be watchful, she may have altered her appearance slightly by opening up the head bun, but that doesn't fool me.
Her Russian trade mark is usually a bear symbol.

At 4:45 this morning, several phones in my house sounded an alarm. I got up to read the message:
Imminent extreme alert
TEST - This is a TEST of the Emergency Alert System.
No action is required.

Little do they know, some action is required. That message could have gone to a few hundred thousand cellphone users and someone should be responsible for their actions.
I equate that to yelling FIRE! in a movie theater and then saying "Only kidding."

As a kid, we had Civil Defense sirens located around the city, usually on top of schools or government buildings, designed to be used in the event of extreme emergency... like Russia sending off some nuclear missiles from Cuba that's only 90 miles away!

You could set your clocks by it as they sounded on the first and third Saturday exactly at 1pm and run for about 3 minutes. Yes, testing at 1pm.

I'd certainly like to know what genius scheduled emergency tests at 4am.

Every day the numbers are getting smaller and smaller.

A few blocks east of me is a hospital. I can hear ambulances on their way to the Emergency Room. I can also hear them blowing their horns when someone is blocking their path to the hospital.
Less than a mile west of me is a fire station. If my windows are open, I can hear paramedics and fire trucks leaving the station. I can also hear when they blow their horns to alert cars to GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Last week, I was passing the fire station when the large ladder truck started pulling out. It's a 6-lane divided highway with a cement/grass center median. The traffic signal changes to red. I stopped and cars around me continued to run the red light ignoring the siren, lights and horn of the fire truck.

Today, a block from the hospital, cars in the turn lane refused to stop and allow an ambulance to get through the intersection that was coming from a different direction. Forget the siren and horn... these drivers didn't allow the ambulance legal right-of-way. I could see the ambulance having to wait (again) for cars not giving access to the hospital.

To say this is bad is an understatement. I don't know what it's like in your city. I thought Miami (50 miles south) was bad, Palm Beach appears to have taken the lead of bad drivers.

I'm sure there are laws for blocking emergency vehicles, but you have to have police watching and not busy escorting the ambulance to the ER.
