No More Christmas

Shalam Israel, We are the original Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, out of 1 West 125th St. Harlem, NYC, since 1969. The HOME OF THE TRUTH! In the Spirit of the Most High, in the name of Christ under Commanding General Yahanna, we have dedicated and hazarded our lives to bringing the 12 Tribes of the nation of Israel back to the Father in spirit and truth. The people of Negro, and Indian descent, scattered throughout North, South, Central America and the West Indian Islands are the Lost 12 Tribes of Israel. Wherever we are; in the ghettos, the barrios, the reservations or shanty towns; on the web, and in our everyday lives we strive to wake up our people.

Everything we have been led to believe about Christmas in America is a lie. Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th. The Bible doesn't specify when he was born because it is against Hebrew Culture to celebrate birthdays. Then where does Christmas come from? What have we been worshipping all these years?

Encyclopedia Britannica definition of Christmas - The origins of the holiday and its December date lie in the ancient Greco-Roman world, as commemorations probably began sometime in the 2nd century. There are at least three possible origins for the December date. The Roman Christian historian Sextus Julius Africanus dated Jesus’ conception to March 25 (the same date upon which he held that the world was created), which, after nine months in his mother’s womb, would result in a December 25 birth. In the 3rd century, the Roman Empire, which at the time had not adopted Christianity, celebrated the rebirth of the Unconquered Sun (Sol Invictus) on December 25th—this holiday not only marked the return of longer days after the winter solstice but also followed the popular Roman festival called the Saturnalia
(during which people feasted and exchanged gifts). It was also the birthday of the Indo-European deity Mithra, a god of light and loyalty whose cult was at the time growing popular among Roman soldiers.

The truth about Christmas will free us from the oppression that we've endured by accepting the white man's lies. How many of our people struggle each year to celebrate Christmas? Buying a Christmas tree, decorating the house, purchasing gifts and presents, trying to keep up with the myth of Santa Claus? What would happen if our people knew the truth?

Leviticus 23:2 - Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord , which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

All the feast days, or holy-days commanded by the Most High are found in Leviticus the 23rd chapter. The only holidays that the children of Israel should celebrate are found in this chapter. Christmas isn't there, Easter isn't there, neither is Thanksgiving, or the 4th of July. That means that so called Blacks, Latinos, and Native American Indians shouldn't partake in these things.

Amos 5:21 - I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

The Most High says that he hates and despises OUR feast days. Why? Because we don't celebrate our remember the days that he set aside for us, but we do celebrate what the white man says to celebrate.

We forget about the Passover, which commemorates how our power killed the first born of all the living in Egypt so that our ancestors could go free; instead we lie to our children about Santa Claus and cause them to believe in fairy tales.

Roughly 2,500 years ago, the children of Israel were in captivity under the Babylonian Empire. During that time, the prophet Jeremiah was the Most Highs messenger to the Isrealites. As we take a closer look at Jeremiah the 10th chapter, we can trace the roots of the modern day Christmas tree to ancient Babylon.

Jeremiah 10:2 - Thus saith the Lord , Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

The Most High told the children of Isreal not to learn the customs of the heathen, nor to be afraid of the signs in the skies because the heathens are afraid of them. These customs specifically are talking about the worship of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

 3 - For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 - They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 - They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

The customs of these other nations mean nothing. There's one custom where a ax-man goes into the forest and cuts down a tree. They DECK(decorate) the tree with silver and gold and make it stand up with hammers and nails. They make the tree look dignified and beautiful like a Palm tree, but the tree can't walk, it must be carried. Don't be afraid of the tree, it can't do any evil, neither can it do any good. It's just a tree.

2,500 years this is how the Babylonians worshiped the God Nimrod. It was told to the people that Nimrods spirit lived inside the tree. So ever year for his birthday, on December 25th, the people would cut down an Evergreen tree, and dress it up to look like royalty. Because they believed the dead kings spirit was in the tree, they would sing to it, bring it presents, and worship it. All those who didn't bring gifts to Nimrod and place them under the tree, were put to death.

This is why Jeremiah had to give the children of Isreal this detailed warning. This warning is relevant still to this day, because just as it was done in Babylon, King Nimrod is worshiped in homes all across America today. This is why we put a star in the top of the tree, it's why we sing songs like "O, Christmas tree" and it is why we have our families gather round the tree the morning of Dec 25th to open up presents.

John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The gospel of Yahawashi HaMashayach aka Jesus Christ is largely built on this statement he made to his disciples over 2,000 years ago. When you learn the truth, the truth sets you free.

When you believe in a lie, you become a slave to whoever gave it to you as truth. In 2013 the chosen people of God, the 12 Tribes of Israel, so called Blacks, Latinos, and Native American Indians are slaves to the so called white man. We are slaves to his religion, is culture, his sexuality, and his way of life. All because we have accepted the lies that they have pushed on us as truth.

The time is now for us to remove from our minds, cunningly devised fables (2 Peter 1:16) such as Christmas. Following the white man, our leaders have taught for doctrine the traditions of men, and have cast aside the commandments of the Most High (Mark 7:6-9).

The ISUPK is the Home of the Truth. The only thing that can free our people from this mental captivity, is the truth of the Most High and Christ in the Bible. Don't allow yourself to be a slave to the White man's lies any longer. Learn the truth and become free.

Shameless: Bold Lies from Fox News

School of Universal Practical Knowledge, out of 1 West 125th St. Harlem, NYC, since 1969. The HOME OF THE TRUTH! In the Spirit of the Most High, in the name of Christ under Commanding General Yahanna, we have dedicated and hazarded our lives to bringing the 12 Tribes of the nation of Israel back to the Father in spirit and truth. The people of Negro, and Indian descent, scattered throughout North, South, Central America and the West Indian Islands are the Lost 12 Tribes of Israel. Wherever we are; in the ghettos, the barrios, the reservations or shanty towns; on the web, and in our everyday lives we strive to wake up our people.

Recently an article was published in Slate magazine, in which the writer Aisha Harris stated her case for a change in the identity of Santa Claus or St. Nick. The argument put forth by this black woman focused around her Samta Claus experience growing up. As a child, Harris said the white Santa Claus that she saw on tv, and at the mall was very different than the black Santa that her parents had pictures of in their house.

Harris revealed that when she questioned her father about their "black Santa" he told her that Santa appeared differently to everyone whose house he entered. She concluded that she was confused growing up as to the real identity of Santa Claus, and that the public image of a white Santa, caused her to feel ashamed about the "fake" black Santa in her house.

Harris' proposal was that America adopt a new image for Santa Claus, that of a penguin, so that minority children growing up in a more colored America, wouldn't have to deal with the identity crises or inferiority complex that she faced as a child. Harris went as far as outlining how the transition from white Santa to the penguin could be accomplished without destroying the integrity or alerting the traditional story of the gift giving man living at the North Pole.

Never hesistating at an opportunity to shame and degrade a negro or Latino, Fox News quickly picked up on the article posted on the largely unknown Slate.com website. In unsurprisingly, unapologetic fashion, a panel of guests on Megyn Kellys afternoon news program scoffed at the article and Harris' proposition of making Santa minority friendly.

"Santa is just white. It is what it is." Said Kelly, before adding, "Jesus was a white man too...Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable, doesn't mean it has to change... How do you change it in the middle of the legacy, and turn Santa from white to black?"

One of the panel guests then added, "Santa Claus is loosely based on St. Nicholas, a Catholic Bishop, who was Greek, he was white... You just can't change facts."

Now, before we deal with the legitimacy of the statements made by the people on Fox News concerning the historical figures St. Nicholas and Jesus Christ, let's deal with the article written by Aisha Harris titled Santa Claus Should Not Be A White Man Anymore.

This article/proposal, written by Aisha Harris is a prime example of the passive slave mindset that persist among Blacks, Latinos, and Native American Indians in this country today. SANTA CLAUS IS NOT REAL!!! Why the hell would you need the white man's approval, or permission to change the race of a mythical, imaginative character?

Furthermore, why would the white man change his appearance to cater to anyone but himself? The whole point of Santa Claus, Superman, Batman, and every other made up image of anything great being white is to establish the white man's superiority over other races.
The inferiority complex Aisha Harris developed as a child is the desired result of white being the default color of everything great. Now, does that mean we as a people have no choice but to accept this?

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The Scriptures says that we should train our children from a young age; teaching them right from wrong so that they when they grow into adults, they will know how to live.
Here in the ISUPK we propse that Black, Latino, and Native American Indians follow the commandments of the Most High. Stop lying to to your children. Who gives a damn if Santa Claus is white, black, green, or purple, the fact is he doesn't exist! Why not just teach your children the truth?

There is no one living at the North Pole, watching all children on the planet to see who's naughty or nice.
There is no magical workshop with slave midgets building toys, and there is no such thing as a flying Reindeer. If we just stopped lying to our children then they would appreciate the truth, and not get caught up in the white mans fairy tales.

Proverbs 3:31 - Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

If we were living by the word of the Most High then we wouldn't be jealous of the so called white man. We wouldn't feel the need to have a black, or minority friendly Santa. If we served the Most High we wouldn't follow the ways of so called white man in celebrating Christmas.

Most of our people go broke each year trying to keep up with the lie about Santa Claus. No one wants their children to feel like Santa doesn't care because he didn't bring them any presents. Well if we didn't follow the white man, the pressure of keeping up with the illusions associated with his holidays would remove the unnecessary burden we place on ourselves. But because we envy our oppressors we sin against the Most High.

Jeremiah 2:14 - Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave ? why is he spoiled?

The Most High is asking a rhetorical question. Were Israelites made to be servants? Are we supposed to live as home born slaves? Why are we so destroyed?

Blacks latinos, and native American Indians were not made to be servants to these other nations. We have assumed the role of willing slaves under the so called white man. We are destroyed because we love these other nations and not one another.

The slave mentality of "go along to get along," and "if you can't beat them, join them" are the causes of the conditions our people are faced with today. This is why Aisha Harris' father lied to her about Santa being all colors to all people, rather than just tell her the truth. It is why our people forgive the white man for slavery, vote in their elections, join heathen religions, and destroy one other chasing after the American Dream.

John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The Israelites in the ISUPK, because of the truth of the Most High and Christ, are free from the mental bonds plaguing our people in these heathen religions. We tell our children the truth, so that they never develop an inferiority complex to any race. This is why we hit the streets all over America and teach our people the truth about them being the chosen people of the Most High, and the White man being the devil that the Bible speaks of.

The devils that work at Fox News, when they run stories like the one they did about Aisha's article really do our people a lot of good. The more honest that they are about their hatred and dislike for so called minorities, the easier it is for our people to see how evil these white people really are. It also provides us an opportunity to see just how proud and unashamed these white people are of a lie.

In two Scriptures, Daniel 10:5-6 and Revelations 1:13:15, Yahawashi HaMashayach aka Jesus Christ is described as being a very dark skinned man, with a nappy white afro, white facial hair, red eyes, and Israelite clothing. Other Scriptures show that all the Jews were black (Jeremiah14:2), King Solomon was black (Song Sol. 1:5) and that the Israelites would never be white (Isa 42:22).

The image that exist today, lodged in the minds of mostly all who have had any exposure to Christianity, didn't come into existence until the 1500's. The white man in that image is Ceasar Borgia, second son of Pope Alexander the 6th of Rome. This mans father commissioned Leonardo Da Vinci, who also was his homosexual lover, to paint his son as Jesus Christ. They then used this image to establish their divinity as the chosen people of God in the Bible.

This period in history is known today as the Renaissance. During this period, all the great historical figures, particularly those associated with the Bible, were all changed to the likeness of white people. Included was the image of St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra in Lycia. All paintings of this man prior to the Renaissance, clearly show that he was a Black man, with dark brown skin, and white wooly hair.

While Fox News was accurate in stating that this is the man whom inspired the legend of Santa Claus; as with Jesus, they lied about him being a white man. Now, this information isn't difficult to find, nor is it hidden away in some hard to reach place. The devils at Fox News just don't care about boldly lying to their viewers. They are confident in the so called Black, and Latinos inability to challenge the lies that they present as fact. All American mainstream media outlets do the samething, they just attempt to mask it better.

Al Sharpton, Steve Harvey, Queen Latifah, Micheal Baisden, among other blacks all have nationally syndicated television or radio shows. You mean to tell me none of them know that Jesus was a black man? OR does their occupation restrict and prohibit them from speaking out in opposition of the White agenda?

If Aisha Harris knew the truth, she wouldn't need to beg the white man to alter his culture to accomodate her sensibilities. To hell with the white man's Santa Claus, and his Christmas. Let him have his Easter bunnies, St. Patricks day Leprechauns, and naked baby cupids. None of these things represent Israelite culture, nor do they come from the word of the Most High.

The Black Woman is NOT God

Shalam Israel, We are the original Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, out of 1 West 125th St. Harlem, NYC, since 1969. The HOME OF THE TRUTH! In the Spirit of the Most High, in the name of Christ under Commanding General Yahanna, we have dedicated and hazarded our lives to bringing the 12 Tribes of the nation of Israel back to the Father in spirit and truth. The people of Negro, and Indian descent, scattered throughout North, South, Central America and the West Indian Islands are the Lost 12 Tribes of Israel. Wherever we are; in the ghettos, the barrios, the reservations or shanty towns; on the web, and in our everyday lives we strive to wake up our people.

As many of you may know by now, the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge participated in a debate on December 7th, 2013 in Brooklyn, NY. The subject matter of the debate was Is God a Woman according to the Bible? And Is the Bible Plagiarized?
As expected the ISUPK represented by Priest and Officer of 5,000 Tazaryach Ban Yahawadah won the debate by a landslide. Not only was the person he debated unable to prove either of his points; the fashion in which his arguments were dismantled and bashed showed why it is unwise to ever come against the men of the Most High and Christ.

There is no knowledge which supercedes that of the Most High. Through the spirit of Christ, in the ISUPK men receive training which elevates them as Officers, Captains, and Generals to a level of Scholastic superiority that to this date is unmatched. Unfortunately, due to his opponents inferior knowledge of scripture, and shameful display of coonery at the debate, many of the poignant scriptural points prepared by officer Tazaryach were never brought to the forefront during the debate. In a sort post-debate wrap up, let's now and forever put a end to the foolish question of Is God a Woman.

Exodus 15:3 - The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

YAHAWAH is a MAN of war! YAHAWAH is his name. With this one scripture, the debate is over. Not only is there not one scripture that says the Most High is a woman, Exo. 15:3 is clear cut, concise, and to the point.

Not only is the Most High a man, but his spirit is one of a warrior. This is why the Most High requires Israel to be disciplined, obedient, and fearless to condemning those who come against his word. Only a fool would try to convince you of otherwise.

Job 36:26 - Behold, God is great, and we know HIM not, neither can the number of HIS years be searched out.

YAHAWAH is the most high power that created all existence. His power is too far above the understanding or comprehension of man. No man can search out his origins or beginning.
Being unable to establish that the Most High was a man, the opposition during the debate took the route of trying instead to show that Woman in general were the "gods" spoken of in Psalms 82:6

The word gods in Hebrew is "AhLaHaYaM," which simply means powers or those with authority. Within the nation of Israel, there is structure and order, which clearly establishes the position and role of woman. Woman are not the gods that the Most High speaks of in Psalms 82:6.

1 Corinthians 11:3 - But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

The power structure of the children of Israel is as follows. The Most High is the head of Christ. Christ is the head of the man. The man is the head of the woman. This is the order that was established from the beginning, in the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. When this order isn't adhered to our nation suffers (Isa. 3:12), as did Adam when he followed Eve, who was deceived in the Garden (1 Tim 2:11-14).

Only a weak, effeminate man can worship the black woman as God. Especially with the condition that our people are in today. How can the black woman be God, having aborted 13 million babies since Roe v Wade legalized abortion in 1973? Our woman have become cruel (lamentations 4:3-4) and their eyes have grown evil toward their men and children (deut 28:56-57).

Ezekiel 34:31 - And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God .

The Most High chose men to be the priest, prophets, and spiritual teachers of his children for a reason. Only a man who is a servant of the Most High and Christ can lead a woman in the path of righteousness. Without a righteous man leading her, whether it is her father, her husband, or a priest and prophet of the Most High and Christ; an Israelite woman is void of wisdom and understanding(Job 39:16-18) when it pertains to living righteously.

Life is about more than a woman's body, what it is that she has to offer sexually, and how easily she can be gamed up to get her money. For the men who try to push that the Black woman is God, this is all that their life is about. During the debate, the question was asked, why would a woman choose to serve the Most High, when the doctrine of the truth is based around men leading.

The answer is that there are still some black, Latino, and Native Indian woman who have the right spirit. Though they are few and far between, not all our woman are lust-filled hoes who wish to be worshipped and head of man. Some woman appreciate not having the burden of making all the decisions, or having to be mommy and daddy to her children. Hell, some sisters like to rest assured knowing that they have a strong honorable, righteous man, who will protect her no matter what.


The truth is for sisters who are humble enough to realize that the key to a righteous life is serving, and obeying the man she opens her legs to. The truth isn't for woman who like to be gamed up, or sold dreams. The truth is for the 12 Tribes of Israel who seek to serve the Most High, and Christ, in truth, righteousness, decency and order. Shalam.

Netanyahu says nuke negotiators must demand Iran change 'genocidal policy'




netanyahu_120813.jpg
Dec. 8, 2013: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.AP
Warning the international community to "beware" Iran's intentions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the United States and other negotiators to demand as part of nuclear talks that the regime "change its genocidal policy" toward the Jewish state. 
"This is a regime committed to our destruction," Netanyahu said, at a forum on U.S.-Israel relations hosted by the Brookings Institution. 
The Israeli leader continued to sound a deeply skeptical tone toward the short-term deal struck last month in Geneva to scale back Iran's nuclear efforts in exchange for rolling back sanctions. He said any long-term deal must end Iran's "military nuclear capability." 
But Netanyahu said the talks also must include an "unequivocal demand" for Iran to not just tweak the "minutiae" of its nuclear program, but change its entire policy toward Israel. 
"I don't think any of us can overstate the Iranian danger," he said. 
Netanyahu spoke a day after President Obama addressed the same forum and cast doubt on the deal with Iran. 
"If you ask me what is the likelihood that we're able to arrive at the end state ... I wouldn't say that it's more than 50-50," Obama said. "But we have to try." 
Netanyahu and Obama have been at odds over the deal with Iran, and the remarks by Obama could have been an effort to show the Israeli leader he shares his skepticism. 
Netanyahu on Sunday stressed that the Israel-U.S. bond is an "indispensable alliance" in this effort and the two nations will continue to work together on Iran. 
But he said "the jury is still out" on Iran's intentions. 
He questioned why Iran continues to take such steps as developing ballistic missiles, and said any final deal should make sure Iran is not a "threshold nuclear weapon state," allowed to cross that line when it wishes. 
He said diplomacy is the preferred course, but said the military option must be on the table and suggested sanctions could even be increased during talks. 
Israel is "prepared to do what is necessary," he said.   
The goal of the talks is to eliminate the possibility of Iran assembling a nuclear arsenal, even if any deal might let Iran continue enriching uranium at lower levels not easily convertible into weapons-grade material. 
Israel has complained that the short-term deal struck in Geneva gave Iran too much leeway and has voiced concern about where these talks will lead. 
Secretary of State John Kerry, who opened his address to the forum with a discussion of the state of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, echoed Obama's skepticism of Iran when he said, "As we enter negotiations for a final, comprehensive agreement, we absolutely do so with our eyes wide open, and, as yet, I have to say, unconvinced that Iran will absolutely make all the decisions, the hard decisions necessary to reach such an agreement." 


Job 21:30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Dan 8:25
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Fast-food workers in about 100 cities will walk off the job this Thursday, organizers say, which would mark the largest effort yet in their push for higher pay.




She Matters: Viral clip showing a teenage girl getting sucker punched by a “friend” was a truly disgusting display.

sharkeisha 
 
“Sharkeisha” is shown in a video hitting a girl later identified as Shamichael Manuel.
Screenshot from video
It took me most of last Wednesday to figure out who or what a “Sharkeisha” was and why it was the leading trending topic on Twitter. I mistakenly guessed that it was a jab at the infamous Sharknado movie on the Syfy Channel, where an unprecedented number of people unexpectedly tuned in to watch sharks fall from the sky. That or “Sharkeisha” was yet another way for Twitter to make fun of some black women’s names, which happens with annoying regularity.
I was half right. Turns out “Sharkeisha” is the name of a real person, a Houston-based teenager who sucker punched, then kicked, another teenager in the face because she believed the girl was having sex with a boy Sharkeisha was also having sex with. The whole incident was captured on video by “friends” of the girls involved, uploaded to Instagram (which quickly removed the video) and then posted to World Star Hip-Hop, where it quickly went viral.
In a little under a week, the video has been viewed thousands of times. Sharkeisha has become an Internet star, with her Twitter followers leaping from 400 to more than 17,000 literally overnight. Bafflingly, most of the tweets were positive, celebrating her physical prowess as if she’d fought off an attacker instead of being the attacker.
Forgive me, but I find nothing funny or worth celebrating about this video. I agree with the folks over at Hip-Hop Wired who called it “coonery at its finest.” And I’m disgusted at the way too many people are “laughing” at this via Instagram, Facebook updates and tweets as if were a Dave Chappelle skit, like “When ‘Keeping It Real’ Goes Wrong” (NSFW).
This isn’t funny. At all. It’s a vulgar display of violence, a tragic depiction of someone who lacks anger management and humanity and a shocking example of just how wayward some teens are. Sharkeisha’s reaction to a petty dispute over, likely, a boy who didn’t care about either of these girls is a clear-cut case of assault. This isn’t entertainment to get through the workday. The way that girl was kicked in the face could have resulted in her death.
And about that girl who was punched in the face and inspired so much laughter: Last week it was rumored that she, Shamichael Manuel, had committed suicide when the video went viral. Thankfully, that isn’t true.
Shamichael suffered “only” a busted lip and a black eye from the assault. She hasn’t been to school since the assault because she’s having problems seeing out of one eye.
She told KHOU that the “fight” was a setup by a former friend and called the entire ordeal, from the actual assault to the viral video seen by thousands of people, “hurting and crushing.” She added, “I felt humiliated, embarrassed and hurt at the same time.”
Her mother has filed an assault charge against Sharkeisha. There’s no word on whether the teen has been arrested.


Isa 3:16
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

Isa 3:17
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

Isa 32:9
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.


Isa 32:11
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

Fast-food workers in about 100 cities will walk off the job this Thursday, organizers say, which would mark the largest effort yet in their push for higher pay.


                  

The actions are intended to build on a campaign that began about a year ago to call attention to the difficulties of living on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, or about $15,000 a year.
The protests are part of a movement by labor unions, Democrats and other worker advocacy groups to raise pay in low-wage sectors. Last month, President Barack Obama said he would back a Senate measure to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10.
Protesters are calling for $15 an hour, although many see the figure as a rallying point rather than a near-term possibility.
It's not clear how large the turnout will be at any given location, or whether the walkouts will be enough to disrupt operations. Similar actions this summer had varying results, with some restaurants unable to serve customers and others seemingly unaffected.
The National Restaurant Association, an industry lobbying group, called the demonstrations a "campaign engineered by national labor groups," and said the vast majority of participants were union protesters rather than workers.
The group added that past demonstrations "have fallen well short of their purported numbers."
Kendall Fells, a New York City-based organizer for Fast Food Forward, said demonstrations are planned for 100 cities, in addition to the 100 cities where workers will strike. He said plans started coming together shortly after the one-day actions in about 60 cities this summer.
"They understand they're not going to win from a one-day strike," Fells said of workers.
Still, organizers face an uphill battle in reshaping an industry that competes aggressively on low prices, a practice that has intensified as companies including McDonald's Corp., Burger King Worldwide Inc. and Yum Brands Inc. face growing competition and slow growth in the weak economy.
Fast-food workers are also seen as difficult to unionize, given the industry's high turnover rates. But the Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million workers in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing organizational and financial support to the push for higher pay over the past year.
Berlin Rosen, a political consulting and public relations firm based in New York City, has also been coordinating communications efforts and helping organizers connect with media outlets.
In the meantime, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has promised a vote on the wage hike by the end of the year. But the measure is not expected to gain traction in the House, where Republican leaders oppose it.
Supporters of wage hikes have been successful at the state and local level. Last month, voters in New Jersey approved a hike in the minimum to $8.25 an hour, up from $7.25 an hour. California, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island also raised their minimum wages this year.


Deu 24:14
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:

Deu 24:15
At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.



Sharpton, Other Civil Rights Leaders Launch Fight Against ‘Knockout Game’



'Knockout Game' Is 'Vicious. It Is Ugly. It Must Be Stopped,' Sharpton Says


Al Sharpton
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Rev. Al Sharpton and other civil rights leaders have launched a social media campaign in an effort to stop the violent “knockout game.”
Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, joined National Urban League president Marc Morial, hip-hop legend Russell Simmons, and Jewish leader Rabbi Marc Schneier, to promote the effort. Simmons and Schneier are chairman and president, respectively, of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding.
The civil rights leaders want to stop the “knockout game” and the targeting of Jews. Reports of “knockout game” attacks have been reported around the country, and have been concentrated in particular in Brooklyn.
Sharpton, Simmons and Morial have all recorded message of solidary with the Jewish community and all of the victims of the violent attacks.v
“The knockout game is not a game,” Sharpton says in a brief video message. “It is vicious. It is ugly. It must be stopped.”
Simmons has recorded more than one video denouncing the “knockout game.”
“This knockout game is some bulls**t. I mean, it’s terrible. I mean, how come you all want to hit people that look like they’ve got on devotional clothing and might not hit you back? Why don’t you hit somebody that might hit you back?” he said in one. “I mean, the knockout game is for cowards.”
The civil rights leaders have asked people to join them by sending the following message through social media:

“End the #knockoutgame #sayNO2KO join the @FFEUny to end the violence +bigotry. Knockout #gameover.”
In a news release, Sharpton said the attacks cannot be tolerated.
“These kids are targeting innocent people, and in many cases specifically targeting Jewish folks. We would not be silent if it were the other way around, and we will not be silent now. This behavior is racist, period. And we will not tolerate it,” he said.
Numerous “knockout game” attacks have been reported in recent weeks, targeting everyone from preteens to seniors. In the most recent reported incident, police said a 26-year-old man was punched by a woman just before 11 p.m. <a title=”Hasidic Man Victim Of Latest Possible ‘Knockout’ Assault In Williamsburg” this past Sunday night at Bedford Avenue and Taylor Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind said a pattern has emerged but stopped short of saying the Jewish community is being targeted in these types of attacks.
“It seems clear that overwhelmingly here in New York the victims have been Jewish, there’s no question about that,” Hikind told Smith. “You have New Yorkers who are afraid to walk the streets, afraid to let their kids walk the in streets because you don’t know who the next victim is going to be.”
He said the attacks are so random that he’s not sure how to stop them. But Hikind added something needs to be done.’
The wave of attacks, where the perpetrator attempts to knock out an unsuspecting stranger with a single blow, began in Crown Heights in October. Police had previously beefed up patrols in some of the communities that have seen several incidents.

Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

Pearl Harbor attack recalled 72 years after 'day of infamy'


  


Even 72 years after the attack on Pearl  Harbor that pulled the United States into World War II, numerous states and organizations are commemorating the “day which will live in infamy.”
More than 2,400 American troops died in the early hours of Dec. 7, 1941 after the Imperial Japanese Navy swarmed on Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii, hurtling the U.S. into the war.
On Friday, Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell lead a day of remembrance at the USS Arizona Memorial center near the site of the initial attack.
The Freedom Bell in Washington, D.C. -- cast in bronze with metal from the World Trade Center -- rang in honor of those who served in the armed forces, NBC affiliate KHNL reports. Skydivers also unfurled American Flags over Pearl Harbor.
On Saturday, the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond, Va., will host Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day with speakers and a laying of a wreath in honor of the fallen members of the military as well as civilians killed.
In Little Rock, Ark., bad weather forced the cancellation of ceremonies scheduled there for Saturday.
Soon after the attack in 1941, then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the American populace and referred to the day's events as a "sneak attack."
“Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 -- a day which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan," said Roosevelt.



Psa 74:23
Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

Exd 20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

South Africa's Nelson Mandela dies in Johannesburg




The announcement of Mandela's death was made by President Jacob Zuma


South Africa's first black president and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has died at the age of 95.
Mr Mandela led South Africa's transition from white-minority rule in the 1990s, after 27 years in prison for his political activities.
He had been receiving intensive medical care at home for a lung infection after spending three months in hospital.
Announcing the news on South African national TV, President Jacob Zuma said Mr Mandela was at peace.
"Our nation has lost its greatest son," Mr Zuma said.

Scenes from around the globe in the hours after Nelson Mandela's death, as world leaders, South Africans, and our own journalists react.
"Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of a profound and enduring loss."
Mr Zuma said Mr Mandela - who is known affectionately by his clan name, Madiba - had died shortly before 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT). He said he would receive a full state funeral, and flags would be flown at half-mast.
Crowds have gathered outside the house where Mr Mandela died, some flying South African flags and wearing the shirts of the governing African National Congress, which Mr Mandela once led.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate was one of the world's most revered statesmen after preaching reconciliation despite being imprisoned for 27 years.
He had rarely been seen in public since officially retiring in 2004. He made his last public appearance in 2010, at the football World Cup in South Africa.
His fellow campaigner against apartheid, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, said he was "not only an amazing gift to humankind, he made South Africans and Africans feel good about being who we are. He made us walk tall. God be praised."
BBC correspondents say Mr Mandela's body will be moved to a mortuary in the capital, Pretoria, and the funeral is likely to take place next Saturday.
'Bid him farewell'
Mr Zuma said in his statement that "what made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human. We saw in him what we seek in ourselves.
"Fellow South Africans, Nelson Mandela brought us together and it is together that we will bid him farewell."


Zep 2:12
Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.


Isa 9:16
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

Isa 50:1
Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

Epistle of Jeremy 1:28
As for the things that are sacrificed unto them their priests sell and abuse in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it

Pa. Teen Shoplifter Brutally Beaten By Police




Pictures Of Pa. Teen Taken After Shoplifting Arrest Raise Questions

A picture of a 14-year-old’s bruised face taken after a recent shoplifting arrest is raising questions as to whether officers brutally assaulted him or if he sustained the injuries from a bad fall while escaping from them, Philly.com reports.


Authorities arrested Joseph Williams (pictured) for shoplifting at a Walmart in Bucks County, Pa., last Tuesday. He managed to escape from custody while still in handcuffs. During the arrest, one of the officers shot him with a stun gun; one of the barbs struck the boy in the face.
Williams’ mother posted the picture of her son on Facebook Friday, believing he was a victim of police brutality. ”The picture speaks 1,000 words. They brutally beat him,” Marissa Sergeant said. She refuted claims the bruises were caused by Williams falling face first.
The photo has been shared more 53,000 times.
“If he did fall on his face, why does he have scrapes and bruises all over his whole face, everywhere. Why is his nose broken? Why is his nostril lifted off his face? Why is both of his eyes black and swollen?”
“I’m left with a child who’s going to be physically damaged for the rest of his life,” she added. The boy says he is so embarrassed by his injured face that he covers it up when he goes outside. “Everywhere I go, everyone is staring at me,” Williams said.
Bucks County DA David Heckler said he believes the officers acted appropriately in this instance. ”He should have stopped when police told him to,” Heckler said.
He also explained how the face-first theory is plausible.
“You take off running at a full clip and someone pulls your legs out from under you, and you’re cuffed from behind, you’re going to break your fall with your face,” he said. “I could well believe that you’d have fairly substantial bruising, cuts and scrapes.”
Heclker shared that there are eyewitnesses and police dash cam footage his office may look through. When informed of Heckler’s explanation, Sergeant rebuked, ”That’s impossible. Did he get up and fall 15 more times?”
She claims she went to the Tullytown police station following her son’s arrest, but police barred her from seeing him. He was treated at a local hospital and had to sign off on his medical treatment and discharge before being sent to a juvenile-detention center.
“They didn’t want me to see him,” Sargeant said. “They wanted to hide him as long as they could.”

Oba 1:10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
