A glimpse at my 'work'

I have been over at my other sites again, and I have also added another writer to some of my sites. His name is Ronbo, and he certainly does speak his mind. I may not agree with the way he do so, but I will not censor him. After all, isn't that what we are fighting against?

Here are articles from DoD Daily News-2:

ANA aviators partner with U.S. counterparts. This is about a few Afghani pilots in the Afghanistan National Army working with our guys (actually, we are training them), and they seem to be enjoying it very much. They are coming along just fine.

US Navy Seabees improve Primary School in Ethiopia. This one is in a place where I have a soft spot for the people--the Horn of Africa. Our Seebees are working very hard at reconstruction, and they are paving the way for better relationships between our countries. I just love our guys!

Forensic science gives edge to warfighters. This is an article you are just going to love. These guys are a fabulous new asset. They do just as the title implies, they analyze the evidence right on the spot. We used to have to collect it, bring it in, do the paper work, send it off and wait for the results before we could act on it. Man, am I glad these guys are finally there. Yes, we've been better off with them right there. :)

New UK commander tells Iraqis 'We will stand by you'. The Brits have a new commander, and he seems pretty impressive. He reassured the Iraqis that the Brits were going to stay with them and support them for as long it takes. This was good, since some of them went home. He let them know that this was because they were not needed, because their section had been turned over their own ISF (Iraq Security Force). It is his 3^rd tour of duty in Iraq.

First LAR always on watch, even in enemy’s nightmares. I love the picture in this one. These guys are ready to go and kick some butt! They patrol every night so that no terrorist has an opportunity to plant any IEDs. What happens if they run into someone trying? Yes, these guys are al Qaida's worst nightmare. lol.

Dragon’ Soldiers Seize, Destroy Bomb Factory. YEAH! It may not seem like much because there are so many, but each one that is discovered is one less that is available to the terrorists. Also, there is much intel that can be discovered in these places. Great job, guys! Keep up the great work, and be careful.

Airmen receive first AF Combat Action Medals! It is about time they started to recognize the importance of our Air Force. They even created a new medal, especially for the Air Force, so they could claim it as their own. (Each branch has its own special medal.) Recipients of this award: Maj. Steven A. Raspet, Capt. Allison K. Black, Senior Master Sgt. Ramon Colon-Lopez, Master Sgt. Charlie Peterson, Master Sgt. Byron P. Allen and Staff Sgt. Daniel L. Paxton. You'll have to read the article to find out why, but these guys are great!

Leaders, Wounded Warriors Celebrate Army Birthday at WRAMC. It was very nice for the DOD to remember those who are wounded, especially on the 232^th birthday of the Army.

Marines Train Servicemembers in Martial Arts. This one is so cool. I always wondered why we didn't learn this skill, now I don't have to wonder. Check it out. They even have a 57 year old man getting in on the training!

NGAUS Notes and NGAUS: What's Happening in Congress? These are weekly reports for the National Guard.

Reconstruction Advisory Team working with Iraqis in Baghdad. When the surge began, there were not just Military men sent. No. There were also reconstruction people sent. They are small teams of experts that go out with the brigades. This gives them a better chance to see the whole picture, and they also get an opportunity to assess what is necessary to each sector. They are doing a great job!

Mukki places blame on USA for Golden Mosque and Turkish incursion. This is short a short paragraph (how fitting, lol) about this terrorist.

Iraqi Security Forces foil suicide car bomb attack. This a fantastic article. You cannot tell me the ISF isn't doing their job!

The Lion of Fallujah: Marine Corps Maj. Douglas A. Zembiec. He is one of our finest. He is also someone you should know. What a courageous, patriotic, honorable man and determined. He earned the Bronze Star for last battle. Rest in peace, dear friend.

Here is an article from Causes of Interest:

Jack Idema's free, now let's help him get justice. The title should make this article self-explanatory. :)

Here are some articles from Love America First-2. These are mostly written reprinted by CNN.

Billy Graham: Wife 'had a great reception in heaven'. What a beautiful, loving marriage. What a wonderful woman. May she rest in peace.

N. Korea: Atomic inspectors can return. Ho-hum...what next?

Four North Koreans get their wish. This is wonderful news, if they are not North Korean spies. I wish them (conditioned on their loyalty) all the best.

China taking on U.S. in cyber arms race. Let's keep selling our sovereignty to them so they go to war with us. Great and wise thinking...what stupid senators we have!

India escapes U.S. list of worst human traffickers. India has been an abuser of Christians as long as I can remember. This article, however, is focused on countries that are still involved with human trafficking, the penalties and names some of those countries.

Sudan accepts revised plan for joint Darfur force. I'll believe when I see it.

Advertisers not wary of 'Genocide Olympics'. No wonder. They've been punished for NOTHING. Not even trading with countries that have sanctions on them. Oh my, what a wonderful body that corrupt UN is, let alone our own congress!

Chad may allow peacekeepers on Sudan border. This is more believable, because Sudan has been attacking them also.

North Korea test-fires missiles. Everyone is claiming that it's only a regular missile, not a ballistic missile. And the point is?

So you can see I have not been just sitting around doing nothing. (I don't like using double negatives in a sentence, but I couldn't figure a way not to. lol) I hope you enjoy at least one article. Gosh, I worked hard to get them all posted! :)

Congress ignores population police in China: Help!

We are called sometimes to aid those of us who have no voice and no help and no hope. We can do this with only a phone call. Do you not believe that you should perform your part as a human being to do at least that which you can? If not, get away from my site! I know ye not!

For the rest of us, this is what is going on in China. I received an e-mail today about the riots that were taking place in a small area of villagers. The people were too poor to pay the tax for having more than one child, so the police destroyed their home with sledge hammers. That's when the people started fighting back. You can read the e-mail (with the links to these articles) over at Love America First-2. Please call Congress and express your anger (or whatever you feel). Thank you.

U.N. official accuses Sudan of 'disproportionate' attacks

Source: CNN.

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) -- The United Nations' human rights chief on Friday said recent air raids by Sudanese forces on at least five Darfur villages appeared to be "indiscriminate and disproportionate", and violated international law.

The attacks between April 19 and 29 have already been condemned by U.S. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, although Khartoum says they never took place.

4 North Koreans defect to South Korea

May 1, 2007.

Four North Koreans braved one of the most dangerously contested borders to defect to South Korea:

SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) -- Four North Koreans have drifted south across a heavily guarded maritime border in a wooden boat and are seeking political asylum, South Korean media reported on Wednesday quoting government officials. [Continue reading.]

I surely hope South Korea provides these four people with the asylum they seek. South Korea has been known to be prejudiced against accepting defectors.

They believe that if they start accepting some people, more will come. I wonder who else would ever believe that? Hmm...President Bush, are you listening? These are relatives separated through a war which has never been resolved. Another UN disaster...

Japan nabs NK spy

In 1973, Yoko Kinoshita, 59, kidnapped a 6 year old little girl and her 3 year old brother from a Japanese family:

Civil Rights and Human Rights are Real

I have been dealing with something for a very long, for my whole lifetime. I know about racism, civil rights being denied, and more. I lived through. I can guarantee to you that it is much better today in America these day, at least the way I used to experience it.

Today there is true racism, genocide, civil rights abuses, and crimes against humanity. Most of it is NOT being performed in America. It makes me angry, sad, and frustrated.

You see here in America, we have too much time on our hands. We must. We never look beyond ourselves, and NEVER expect your government to do what you should have been doing all along. Do not cry racism just because of the color of your skin when you are arrested for committing a crime! Damn it, you're guilty. Be a grown-up, like I was, and take your punishment. Heck, if you can't do that, then maybe you shouldn't be out there committing crimes, eh? (You really shouldn't anyway.)

There are so many people that need our attention, our voices. The media will not pay attention to that which they do not know. Where are the demonstrations for Darfur? They should be in every city every weekend until something is done. Forget the UN. They are a farce. They cannot even get together and call it genocide what is going on there.

We should not wait for them, yet you all cry for the UN. Why? You hamstring the president's hands, because he is a Republican. May I ask you something personal? Are you a bigot? A bigot is an ignorant person who would allow hundreds of thousands of people die because they do not like the political party of the president. You disgust me. You cannot claim that you care. You most certainly do not. I don't care what party White House. If they can save lives? I am for it!

There is slavery, genocide, real torture, real racism all over the continent of Africa being thrust upon them by radicalist IslamoNazi's. Do you care? Then stop being so quick to use the race card when you get stuck in a discussion with someone whom you disagree but cannot rebut their common sense reasoning.

Bottom line: Genocide in Darfur, genocide in the gulags in North Korea, imprisoning of homosexuals in Iran and Cuba and many countries, political prisioners truly tortured in Iran and Zimbabwe and China and Saudi Arabia and Egypt and many more countries, genitillia mutalization in the African and Muslim countries, children forced into prostitution and slavery in China and North Korea and Sudan and Africa and the Middle East and more countries, etc, etc.

If you think you've got it bad, why don't try living there? If not, why not try fighting for their freedom? You don't have to save them all. I know it can be overwhelming. Pick one. It's a lot better than being a bigot.

Eritrea bans female circumcision!

This is one of the most horrific traditions that has been passed down through many generations, maybe even milenia. This is one of the best surprises of which I could have awakened.

Apr 5, 2007 — ASMARA (Reuters) - Eritrea has banned female circumcision, a life-threatening tradition that aid groups say afflicts some 90 percent of the country's women. [ABC News.]

U.N. envoy: 'Fragile' balance in Darfur could disintegrate.
ES SALLAM, Sudan (Reuters) -- The new U.N. humanitarian chief warned Sunday that humanitarian efforts in Darfur could collapse if the situation deteriorates and aid workers are prevented from doing their work.

The warning came on a day of unusually heavy condemnation of the violence in Darfur, with Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain proposing a no-fly zone over the region and German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying the suffering of the Sudanese people had become "unbearable."

Refugee crisis threatens to overwhelm Chad.
ABECHE, Chad (AP) -- Chadian officials expressed concern Tuesday at the growing number of refugees fleeing the conflict in neighboring Sudan, which the U.N. humanitarian chief feared could become an intolerable burden on the country.

John Holmes visited this eastern Chad town on the second leg of a 10-day trip to the region, one week after the new U.N. undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs visited Darfur and South Sudan -- part of an effort to improve the bitter conditions under which aid workers have to operate.

Calls to use Beijing Games to pressure China on Sudan.
BEIJING, China (AP) -- China on Thursday blasted separate calls by a French politician and a Hollywood actress to use the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games to pressure Beijing into doing more to stop the crisis in Sudan's Darfur region.

In an article published in Thursday's Wall Street Journal, actress and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Mia Farrow accused Beijing of "bankrolling Darfur's genocide" and called on director Steven Spielberg and four corporate sponsors to "add their ... voices to the growing calls for Chinese action to end the slaughter..."

Top officials: U.S. to impose Sudan sanctions soon.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The United States will impose tough new measures against Sudan, likely within days, to try to force it to change course on Darfur and aims to pressure Khartoum militarily by helping rebuild forces in the south, U.S. officials said.

State Department, Defense, Treasury and other U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the goal was to "tighten the screws" on President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and have him accept an international force in the vast western province.

News from RFA-North Korean women sold as slaves in China

Thousands of NK Women Sold as Slaves in China.
SEOUL — Thousands of North Korean women who fled famine in their homeland in recent years are believed to have been sold as “brides” to Chinese men, who often put them to backbreaking labor and subject them to constant fear, physical assault, and sexual abuse, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reports.
