Landlord told black renters that he had no apartments, but invited whites right in



In what appears to be a sting operation by New York’s Fair Housing Justice Center, a Bronx landlord has been caught red-handed discriminating against prospective black tenants.
is alleged that the landlord told African Americans who were looking for vacant apartments to rent, that his building had none – minutes after telling other white clients that there were some openings.
A lawsuit was filed after secret audio and video recordings were made by the undercover testers.
Federal law states that it is illegal to deny housing to anyone on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, country of origin, presence of children or disability. State and local laws afford even more protection to prospective tenants.
The Fair Housing Justice filed a federal lawsuit against J.J.A. Holding Corp., the company that they say lied to the black tenants who had been enquiring about two buildings in the Woodlawn area. They have evidence in the form recordings of the rental agent, Ray Brij-Raj, telling the candidates that there weren’t any vacancies after telling the white candidates that there actually were.
Executive director of the Fair Justice Center, Fred Freiberg, said, “Today, housing discrimination is like a revolving door where people are politely and courteously escorted in, out of, and ultimately away from the desired housing so there’s no way they would even know they’re being discriminated against.”
The Fair Justice Center is a nonprofit organization that employs testers to fight discrimination against prospective housing candidates.
The CEO of J.J.A., Patrick O’Connell and the rental manager, Brij-Raj, have not made any comments on the situation.
In the meantime, a few tenants of the company have voiced their doubts about the discrimination claim. Margaret Farrell, who has been renting from them for 30 years, said that she knew of at least on black family that resided in her building.
“How could he discriminate when they are living there? It’s a lot of nonsense,” she said.
Kelly, a white housing tester, said, “You don’t always know when you’re being discriminated against. There’s blatant discrimination. And then there’s very charming, cheerful, friendly discrimination and you don’t necessarily know it is happening.”
According to the lawsuit, J.J.A. owns at least five large buildings in the Bronx with a total of 200 units. The company doesn’t advertise available apartments and relies on referrals from their existing tenants.

Justin Bieber changing song lyrics to joke about killing a n****** and joining Ku Klux Klan'

Justin Bieber






Justin Bieber has apologised a second time for video footage showing him making racist remarks.
He was forced to make his latest apology after a second video emerged showing Bieber singing his hit song One Less Lonely Girl, but changing the final words to ‘lonely n*****’.
The singer, who fans branded ‘an arrogant little twerp’ over the footage, also uses sick lyrics about killing black people and joining the Ku Klux Klan.
The 24-second clip follows the release of a video a few days ago in which he asked: ‘Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?’ before imitating the noise of a chainsaw and saying: ‘Run n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****’.
The footage will further jeopardise his career, which has already suffered from a string of run-ins with police in America and his native Canada.
Now he has apologised - once again - for the latest controversial footage. 
He told The Sun: 'Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with.
'But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger.
'At the end of the day, I just need to step up and own what I did.'
He said in a statement: ‘I’m very sorry. I take my friendships with people of all  cultures very seriously and apologise for offending or hurting anyone with my  childish and inexcusable mistake.
‘I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again.’
Bieber, 20, who has sold more than 15million albums and earned a reported £80million, blamed the first video, filmed when he was 15, on youthful indiscretion.
In the latest footage Bieber wears a blue shirt and a dog tag necklace. A female friend can be heard laughing in the background, and the singer smiles as he gives his twisted rendition of Lonely Girl, the original version of which has been viewed 203 million times on YouTube.
Last night show business website TMZ reported that the new video was captured when Bieber was 14, after he had seen a comedian’s parody of Lonely Girl.
The website also claimed Bieber had  realised at the time that making the recording was a mistake, and had told his mentor, the R’n’B star Usher Raymond, and actor Will Smith. Mr Raymond rebuked him and showed him videos to illustrate the evils of racial prejudice, it reported.
What's more, TMZ reports that the Young Money Entertainment clan, which features the likes of 'Lil Wayne and Birdman – who Justin regularly hangs out with – are supporting the Never Say Never hitmaker.
Mack Maine, President of Young Money, is quoted by the website as saying: 'Bieber does not have a slave mentality.  He treats his people with respect.'
Fans in Britain and the US – who call themselves ‘Beliebers’ – left him in no doubt about their dismay last night.
One, LizaCar, said: ‘He needs to go back to school, get an education, receive [some] discipline and learn some respect.
‘He’s out of control and it’s not going to have a happy ending the rate it’s going.’
Jamal Jackson, from Liverpool, wrote: ‘No I don’t care, you know there are certain words you shouldn’t use and that’s hurtful words against other people. Sorry Justin you can’t type a little message on twitter and get out of it!’
Another online commenter branded the baby-faced singer an ‘arrogant little twerp’.
A user calling themselves Disgruntled Reader, from California, said: ‘The KKK isn’t funny, racism isn’t funny and using the n-word isn’t funny.
People were terrorized, abused and murdered over the  colour of their skin at one time, and making a joke of it is nothing short of breathtaking stupidity and arrogance.’
Twitter users in the US mocked the singer by posting a picture of KKK members apparently saying: ‘We would like to  distance ourselves from Mr Bieber. All organisations have a few embarrassing members.’
The white supremacist Ku Klux Klan lynched hundreds of black people in the southern US.

Pastor proclaims ‘These Hoes Ain’t Loyal’ during church sermon

Baltimore Pastor Jamal Bryant 


The first time hearing about Baltimore Pastor Jamal Bryant was a month ago when he was trying to raise $75,000 through crowd funding for a trip to Nigeria to do a prayer rally to #BringBackOurGirls.
He was asking for 274 people to donate $274. You know, because he seems to have the only direct line to God and only his rally was needed to get those girls home. Let me find out that he has Jesus’ Google Voice number.
Then I found out he’s also the dude named in some salacious rumors WHILE HE WAS MARRIED, mind you. That is when I knew he was more crooked than a toddler’s doodles. But I ain’t the one to gossip so you ain’t heard that from me.
Anyway, “Pastor” (shade) Bryant is confirming that his gospel doesn’t curl all the way over once again. There’s a video showing him preaching a sermon about Pontius Pilate.
He tells his people “Old saints, y’all forgive me, but I gotta tell you. These hoes ain’t loyal!”
And his whole congregation starts church scooting and cheering. Meanwhile, I’m left looking like I just finished watching an episode of Scandal. My jaw is on the floor.
It is incredibly inappropriate and ridiculous for a supposed man of God to be on the pulpit referring to women as “hoes” as part of his message. No one is saying he can’t incorporate popular music into his words but this is not how you do it. He has this authority and he’s using it to spew misogynistic garbage and that is not ok!
Bryant’s church is named Empowerment Temple, but who is he empowering with this foolishness? If he wants to talk about hoes who ain’t loyal, he better look in the mirror because his ex-wife would probably want to buy him a t-shirt with that phrase on it. OOPS. Yes, I went there. Google Maps directed me.
Jamal took to his Twitter to defend his words, talking about, “Don’t critique a quote when you never heard message. 20 seconds of a 30 minute message is an incomplete assessment.”
Unless the 29 minutes and 40 seconds of the sermon we didn’t hear was about how preachers shouldn’t reduce women to chauvinist slurs, then he has no leg to stand on.
Preachers, pastors and prophets aren’t perfect because they’re regular people who are just spreading the gospel. However, their supposed authority lends them the ears of sinners who want to be saints. It behooves them to be more intentional and more principled than the average person. So yes, Pastor Jamal H. Bryant should be admonished for being a negligent nincompoop as he invokes God’s name. He was being couthless and he’s clearly going to stand in his wrongness.
This is why we cannot have nice things and this is why we cannot be sheep to every shepherd in a shiny suit holding a mic. The road to Satan’s condo is paved with the words of wolves in sheep’s clothing. I just want to offer Jamal a seat and a church pew to occupy.


Matthew 7:
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Jeremiah 23:
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.




'She couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality': Brother of girl, 12, who 'stabbed friend 19-times as offering to mythic Slender Man' claims she loved paranormal figure

Anissa Weier and her friend Morgan Geyser, both 12



The elder brother of a school girl accused of brutally stabbing a classmate to pay homage to an eerie horror story character has said his little sister could not tell the difference between, 'dreams and reality'.
Anissa Weier and her friend Morgan Geyser, both 12, apparently lured their young victim to a woodland area in their home town of Waukesha, Wisconsin and stabbed her 19 times before leaving her to die.
They both told police they committed the horrendous crime because they wanted to impress a ghoulish fantasy character called Slender Man, who they had become obsessed with after reading a string of scary stories online.
And speaking to MailOnline, William Weier gave a fascinating insight into the troubled mind of his little sister.
He said he was fully aware of her interest in the mythical figure - which she first discovered on ghost story website, Creepypasta - and knew she loved watching online videos about him.
He explained: 'If you looked at my younger sister you'd see a normal happy 12-year-old. She's just got a couple of weird interests. Personally I think she found Slender Man on YouTube, took an interest and then read up on it.'She loved CreepyPasta, she loved the Slender Man stories, just anything a bit creepy. But I don't see why it changed from dream to reality.
'She was very quiet, she kept to herself, but she was happy-go-lucky, so this is completely out of the blue.
'I know she understood what she was doing because she is very intelligent, to the point where by she lacks common sense.
'But she is only a little girl so I don't think she understood the ramifications of what she was doing.'
He went on: 'I know all about Slender Man. He surfaced a few years ago and the internet just seized hold of it and everyone started writing these Creepypasta stories.
The Slender Man is a prevalent internet myth that has been a viral sensation since it emerged online in 2009
'It's all just urban legends and Slender Man has become one of the biggest ones. Several people have made internet movies about him and there are online games as well.
'My sister never played the games, but she liked watching the videos.
'It's been very shocking for our family, but what  can we do?
'My stepmother and my father have not been talking about this. My dad has been relatively Stoney faces.
'This was out of character for my sister. I just wish she had enough common sense to tell the difference between what is real and what isn't.
'Obviously something on the internet as blown up as Slender Man is not going to be real, they are just legends.
'I'm shocked like anybody would be if it was their little sister. It does happen, but when it does it's a surprise to everybody.'
William said, despite his sister's love of scary films and stories, there were no red flags or indications that she would take her obsession to such a violent extreme.
He explained: 'This was out of character for my sister. She was relatively quiet, she didn't talk about anything she did at school.
'As far as I knew she just liked being scared. She has dug herself a hell of a hole with this. If she gets out, she will be on lockdown.'
William has only just moved back into the family home, just a few hundred yards from the scene of Saturday's shocking attack.
The first he knew about it, was when he saw a SWAT team outside the front door as he pulled up in a car to start moving his belongings in.
The make-up artists, who works for a local variety show called, 'Dead Man's Carnival', said: 'I only moved here two days ago, but I don't know the other two girls involved.
'My sister and I were moving our stuff into the house and we saw a SWAT team at the door.
'As far as I can tell, her and her friend have been planning this for months and they decided to go through with it. It seems it was just random.'
Earlier on Tuesday we revealed the family of the other alleged attacker, Morgan Geyser also knew about the school girl's interest In Slender Man.
Morgan drew the sinister stickman on a napkin and left it in her family home - just a couple of minutes walk from the Weier's house - while her parents were out for dinner.
But far from being alarmed by the disturbing sketch, Morgan's father Matt seemed to find it amusing and posted it on his social network account.
Beneath the picture he wrote: 'Only Mogo draws Slenderman in crayon on a napkin when we are out to dinner'. He tagged Morgan's mother Angela in the post and four of his friends, 'liked it'
MailOnline can reveal Matt Geyser is a death metal fan, who uses the Instagram name, Deadboy420. 
He recently posted a picture of a ticket for a Shadows Fall concert, a group with albums including Of One Blood and The War Within.
His wife Angie has also posted a number of pictures of skulls and one eerie image of a church and grave yard at night on her Instagram page.
Mr Geyser's apparent knowledge of his daughter's obsession with the Slender Man character comes as a worrying new development in the gruesome attack that left thejr 12-year-old victim fighting for her life.
It is also concerning that he recognized the ghostly figure from a simple, stickman sketch, seemingly proving he had prior knowledge of the ghost stories his daughter had started to read.
Questions will also be asked as to why the school girl was allowed to search the internet for tales of the murderous character.
According to police Geyser and Weier had been plotting the crime for months.
Both suspects told police they tried to kill their friend because of their obsession with Slender Man, a character they discovered on a website called Creepypasta Wiki, which is devoted to horror stories.
The ghoulish figure has featured in the mythology of various civilizations for centuries.
In an official police report Weier said Slender Man is the 'leader' of Creepypasta, and she needed to kill to show their loyalty.
She explained Geyser told her they needed to become 'proxies' of Slender Man — a paranormal character with tentacle-like arms, who wears a black suit and prays on children.
Proxies apparently feature heavily in the Slender Man online video games.
They believed the only way to prove themselves to him was to slaughter their friend.
Weier told police she was shocked by Geyser's evil suggestion, but excited to prove skeptics wrong and show that Slender Man really did exist.
The suspects were convinced 'Slender,' as Weier called him, lived in a mansion in the Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin. They planned to kill the unnamed victim and walk to the mansion.
Geyser was allowed to have two friends over each year for her birthday. Weier and her decided to try to kill their friend during a sleepover on Friday night.
After class at Horning Middle School, Waukesha on Friday, Weier told police, she and Geyser went to her house, so she could pack a backpack with clothes, granola bars, water bottles and a picture of her mother, father and siblings.
She said she didn't want to forget what her family looked like after leaving for Slender's mansion.
The girls then went to Geyser's house. Matt Geyser gave them a lift to pick up the victim and they all went to a skate park, before coming home around 9:30 p.m. and going to sleep in Geyser's room.
Geyser and Weier had originally planned to kill their victim at 2 a.m. Saturday, according to the criminal complaint.
They decided to duct tape their victim's mouth, stab her in the neck and pull the covers up to make it look like she was sleeping, before running to Slender Man's mansion.
But they changed their plans on Friday night and decided to kill her in a bathroom at a nearby park the next morning. Weier told police she knew there was a drain in the floor for the blood to go down.
As they left for the park the next morning, Geyser lifted up the left side of her jacket; the knife was tucked in her waistband.
When asked by police what that meant, Weier said, 'I thought, dear God, this was really happening.'
When they got to the park bathroom, Geyser handed Weier the knife, and Weier said Geyser tried to restrain the victim, but Geyser had a 'nervous breakdown' and Weier had to calm her down.
Weier then said they should go for a walk in the woods. They planned to play hide and seek with the victim and then kill her when they were out of sight, in the trees.
Weier and the victim went to hide, but when the school girl told her, 'friend' to lie facedown in the dirt, she refused.
At that point Weier pushed the victim and sat on her, thinking Geyser could stab her.
But the victim started to shout and scream that she couldn't breathe so much, Weier had to get off.
Geyser gave Weier the knife, but Weier said she told Geyser she couldn't go through with it and gave it back.
Weier said once Geyser got the knife back, She said, 'I'm not going to until you tell me to.' Weier said she started walking away from Geyser and then told her, 'Go ballistic, go crazy.' Geyser said she would go ballistic, and Weier said, 'Now.'
Geyser then apparently tackled the victim and started frantically stabbing her.

Woman who drunkenly smothered baby gets 15 months

Yadina Morales
 

"I never, ever meant for any of this to happen," Morales, 22, of Hagerstown tearfully told the judge before he sentenced her to 15 months in jail for the Nov. 2death of her daughter Marilyn.
Morales' actions, though accidental, were "way, way, way beyond what was reasonable," Washington County Circuit Judge M. Kenneth Long told her.
Morales entered an Alford plea to involuntary manslaughter. An Alford plea is not an admission of guilt but an acknowledgement the state has enough evidence to convict.
She could have been sentenced to up to 10 years. Long suspended more than six years and ordered Morales into a jail substance abuse program.
Prosecutors dropped four other charges, including child abuse and reckless endangerment.
Marilyn's father Dwayne Bryant, 38, told police he came home from a night of drinking with friends and found Morales passed out on top of their unresponsive daughter. He said he and Morales had started drinking at home after she put her two older girls, ages 2 and 4, to bed. When he left, Morales was on the couch breast-feeding Marilyn. Bryant said the baby was lying between her mother and the sofa's back cushion.
When Morales' blood-alcohol level was tested about 12 hours later, it registered 0.256, more than three times the legal limit for drunken driving.
The state medical examiner ruled the death an accidental case of "overlay," when a person lies atop or against an infant. Overlay can cause accidental asphyxiation in bed, the leading cause of infant injury death, according to federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The National Institutes of Health says babies should not sleep on couches, chairs or adult beds, either alone or with others.
Morales' previous boyfriend was convicted in June 2013 of physically abusing her 4-year-old daughter. Both older girls are now in foster care.
Assistant State's Attorney Brett Wilson said Morales was irresponsible and self-indulgent. He said the tragedy "could have been avoided with the simplest, most basic understanding

2 officers, 3 others dead in shooting at Las Vegas restaurant, Walmart

Jerad Miller, left, and Amanda Miller



 
Authorities say two suspects shot and killed two police officers at a Las Vegas eatery Sunday before fatally shooting a third person and killing themselves inside a nearby Walmart.
Gov. Brian Sandoval issued a statement saying he was devastated by the murders of the two officers and an "innocent bystander."
Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield says the spree began late Sunday morning when a man and woman walked into CiCi's Pizza and shot two officers who were eating lunch.He says the suspects then fled to the Walmart across the street, where they fatally shot a person inside and then killed themselves in an apparent suicide pact.
Two suspects shot and critically injured two police officers at a Las Vegas pizza restaurant Sunday before fatally shooting a third person and killing themselves inside a nearby Walmart, investigators said.
The spree began around 11:30 a.m. Sunday when a man and woman walked into CiCi's Pizza and shot two officers who were eating lunch, Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield said.
One of the suspects yelled, "This is a revolution," but the motive for the shooting remains under investigation, Hadfield said.
The two suspects then fled to the Walmart across the street, where they fatally shot a person inside and then killed themselves in an apparent suicide pact, Hadfield said.
The condition of the two officers was not immediately known, he said, but an update would be provided later Sunday.
"I think in any case where people are ambushed and shot it's upsetting to the public," Hadfield told The Associated Press. "We don't know anything about the suspects yet and are trying to learn more."
Clark County Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference that the male suspect yelled "everyone get out" before shooting at Walmart. The man and woman then went to the back of the store.
The names of the suspects and victims and their cause of death will be released by the Clark County coroner's office.
Walmart employees and shoppers were taken to a nearby clothing store to be interviewed by police. The restaurant and Walmart remained closed as detectives processed evidence.
Walmart issued a statement saying it's working with police on the investigation.
"We express our deepest condolences to everyone who has been affected by this senseless act of violence," company spokesman Brooke Buchanan said.

Las Vegas shooting suspects left swastika, "Don't tread on me" flag on dead officers


A couple who fatally shot two police officers having lunch at a Las Vegas pizza restaurant left a swastika and a "Don't tread on me" flag on the dead officers, then continued their deadly rampage at a nearby Wal-Mart, authorities said Monday.

Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill said the two suspects, Jerad Miller and his wife, Amanda, had ideology that was along the lines of "militia and white supremacists" and that law enforcement was the "oppressor."

McMahill said the shootings were an isolated act and officers were still looking for a motive.

The two officers were having lunch at a strip mall pizza buffet when the Millers fatally shot them at point-blank range in an ambush. The suspects then fled to a nearby Wal-Mart, where they killed a third person and then themselves in an apparent suicide pact, authorities said.The attack at a CiCi's Pizza restaurant killed Officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, who are both husbands and fathers. Jerad Miller yelled, "This is a revolution!" McMahill said.

McMahill said at a news conference Monday that both suspects fired multiple shots into Beck. They then placed a note, a yellow "Don't tread on me" flag and a swastika on the officers' bodies.

The deadly rampage in the aging shopping center about 5 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip took place in a matter of minutes.

Police were called at 11:22 a.m. to the pizzeria. Shots were reported five minutes later at a nearby Wal-Mart, where the shooters gunned down 31-year-old Joseph Wilcox of Las Vegas just inside the front door and exchanged gunfire with police before killing themselves, authorities and the Clark County coroner's office said.

McMahill said Wilcox had a concealed weapon and "heroically" tried to confront Jerad Miller, not realizing that he was accompanied by Amanda Miller, who shot and killed Wilcox, police said.

"Joseph died trying to protect others," Sheriff Doug Gillespie said.Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the police department has doubled its number of on-duty officers. He said the increased staffing would continue indefinitely.

The suspects had been kicked off a ranch where anti-government protesters faced down federal agents earlier this year. Ammon Bundy, the son of rancher Cliven Bundy, toldThe Associated Press that Jerad and Amanda Miller were asked to leave his father's ranch after being there for a few days this spring.

Ammon Bundy said that while details are still sketchy, the Millers' conduct was the problem. He called the couple "very radical" and said they didn't "align themselves" with the protest's main issues.

Bundy and his supporters, some of them armed militia members, thwarted a Bureau of Land Management roundup of his cattle near Bunkerville in April. The BLM says Bundy owes more than $1 million in grazing fees and penalties for trespassing without a permit over 20 years, but he refuses to acknowledge federal authority on public lands.Ammon Bundy said his family "has had no quarrel" with Las Vegas police and disavowed the Millers' actions. "The only thing worse than tyranny is anarchy, and we certainly recognize that," Bundy said.

CBS affiliate KLAS reports that Jerad Miller had a Google+ account where he talked about being at the Bundy ranch when protesters showed up in force to protest the government's attempt to reclaim land Bundy was using for illegal grazing. Miller was upset because he had been shunned by other protesters.

The Millers moved to the Las Vegas area in January, police said.

Amanda Miller had worked at a Hobby Lobby craft store in Las Vegas, the chain store said in a written statement, but was no longer employed there.

Jerad Miller, 31, was convicted of felony vehicle theft in Washington state, police said. He also had a criminal record in Indiana.

Miller and his 22-year-old wife were married in August 2012, according to a marriage license on file in Indiana.

Gov. Brian Sandoval ordered flags to be flown at half-staff through sunset Friday for Officers Beck and Soldo.

The governor, in a statement, said "their commitment to protecting the public and serving the community will be forever remembered."

Ex-Girlfriend Says Sterling Asked Why Anyone Would Bring Blacks into the World

NBA owner Donald Sterling 

V. Stiviano 



NBA owner Donald Sterling was ousted from the NBA after girlfriend V. Stiviano released
 recordings of him making racist remarks. Now another ex-girlfriend and assistant to Sterling, also a woman of color, is making claims that Sterling hurled racial slurs at her as well.
Maiko Maya King says she was employed by Sterling when he made “a stream of racist and sεxist taunts” toward her. She says Sterling even went so low as to inject her children into the argument, asking her why she would “bring black people into the world.”
King, who was Sterling’s assistant in addition to being his girlfriend, says when she refused to take his abÏ…se she was let go.
The 40 year old describes her relationship with Sterling in a new lawsuit against the billionaire which, according to her, lasted from 2005 to 2011.
She says Sterling took shοts at her black ex-husband asking, “How could you be married to a black man?”
King also says Sterling promised to put her in a position where she wouldn’t have to deal with black people anymore.
“I want to take you out of the black world and put you into the white world,” King says Sterling told her.
She says Sterling viewed blacks as lazy drug addicts.
“Black people do not take care of their children. All they do is sit at home and smoke dope.”
King also claims that Sterling was bored with his sεxual relationship with Stiviano and offered to pay King more if she could help him sεxually.
King is being represented by famed attorney Gloria Allred.

Leagues of Wounded Veterans Die In A War Over VA Health Care




President Obama and allies like Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is the chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee battled for and obtained important increases for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ (VA) budget.
The number of veterans in need of care has increased rapidly during and after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But Secretary of Veterans Shinseki, remarked that the VA cut its claims backlog nearly in half.
Since 2009, we have enrolled two million more Veterans in high-quality VA healthcare, reduced Veterans’ homelessness by 24 percent and provided Post-9/11 GI Bill educational benefits to more than one million student Veterans and eligible family members.  We have opened up new presumptives for Veterans to receive long overdue care for exposure to Agent Orange, for combat-related PTS-D, and for Gulf War illnesses.  And, we have decreased the disability claims backlog by over 50% in the last 14 months.  We will meet our goal of eliminating the claims backlog in 2015.
Senate Democrats are planning legislation for making it less difficult for the VA to fire or demote senior executives. Senate Leader Harry Reid said the Senate will take up Sanders’ measure right away. The veterans’ committee plans to hold a hearing on the proposal early in June.Sen. Sanders remains uneasy that future presidents could install political appointees at the VA.
Reports of veterans dying as they waited for medical services began appearing more than six months ago. Secret lists were maintained at some clinics in order to hide the extensive delays from VA authorities. So far the number of deaths is still in question. The first investigation into 17 Phoenix deaths indicated none were the result of delays all care should have access, especially after serving their country.
President Obama responded to the issue with outrage.
We’ve got to do better. When I hear allegations of misconduct…I will not stand for it. None of us should. If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful and I will not tolerate it – period.
Conservatives, most who never served in war, use the story to prove big government bureaucracies are predisposed to fail, and Obama has failed in his attempt to build the, “21st Century V.A. as promised during his candidacy. The procedure for moving veterans into the VA system and getting them treated by professionals has been plagued by problems for decades, back to John Kennedy’s presidency. Clearly the Obama Administration hasn’t solved them, but it has made major improvements for the VA and other veterans’ services.
One major issue is the VA is inundated with wounded soldier as the surges in war increase the need. Federal lawmakers changed eligibility guidelines so that all veterans have access to medical service at government-run veterans’ clinic, not just those with low incomes or disabilities related to service. This flooded the system.
In 2001 the General Accounting Office (GAO) warned that medical services wait times at VA clinics were not only acute but dangerous. Since then the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have resulted in a new generation of veterans. The medical advances in battlefield treatment allow soldiers to survive injuries where they would have previously died.
But that means the U.S. has an entirely new generation of veterans who need better health care. Improved medical services mean that more soldiers return with wounds and disabilities, both physical and mental. Sure the number of veterans has declined, since the World War II generation with 800 soldiers dying each month. But those in need of health care continue to increase, straining the system to the breaking point.
The very lawmakers who are most vocal right now seem to be ignorant of the concept that the VA services’ need is a direct result of the wars they clamored to support.
It is unconscionable for the men and women who defended our county to be delayed or denied medical care. Allegations of misconduct at VA hospitals must be investigated. Our veterans deserve better than being treated as pawns in an election year game – but apparently that is exactly what is happening.
Workers at VA hospitals allegedly manipulated data and/or created secret waiting lists that hid the delays. Worse, people have actually died or were seriously harmed waiting for appointments.
Surveys also show that veterans give VA hospitals and clinics a higher customer satisfaction rate than patients give private-sector hospitals
Our VA system, serving nearly 6.5 million veterans annually is a better performer than the other health care systems by nearly every metric. Dr. Robert Petzel resigned just one date after the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs committee hearing. Sen. Sanders issued a statement about Dr. Pretzel.
Yesterday, we heard from every major veterans’ organization that the quality of health care at the VA is extremely good. I thank Dr. Pretzel for helping to make that happen and for his years of service to veterans. Unfortunately, we also heard that there are serious problems regarding waiting times for access to VA health care, and that issue must be addressed immediately.
We can only hope.

REVELATION 20:

Cop throws Bronx boy, 14, through glass window after his arrest, suffers serious injuries: mom


A 14-year-old Bronx boy was critically injured when his head was slammed through the plate-glass window of a hookah bar while handcuffed and in NYPD custody, his mother told the Daily News.

Javier Payne, an eighth-grader at Middle School 22 with no prior arrest record, suffered massive blood loss and underwent emergency surgery to remove shards of glass from his lungs, chest and heart, his mother Cherita Payne said Wednesday.
“He thought he was going to die,” Payne said. “He said he felt the blood rushing out of him. He had never felt anything like that before.”
The youth has been in the intensive care unit of Jacobi Medical Center since the Saturday night incident.
A police source said Javier was arrested for assaulting a 39-year-old man he had asked for a cigarette, and was pulling away from a sergeant when he “fell” into the window of Hookah Spot on Arthur Ave. in Belmont.
The account of the fall through the window is based on a statement from Javier’s 13-year-old pal, who was also arrested for the assault, the source said.
There is no excuse whatsoever for a police officer to smash a 14-year-old boy’s head through a plate-glass window.
But Cherita Payne said her son told her he was flung into the window by a cop after he was told to shut up and mouthed off to the cop.
“He said, ‘I can talk if I want to,’ and the cop threw him through the window,” she said.
“He only weighs 89 pounds,” Payne said of her son. “I don’t think they should have used force like that.”
The family’s lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein, called on the Bronx district attorney’s office to open a criminal investigation into the conduct of the cops.
“There is no excuse whatsoever for a police officer to smash a 14-year-old boy’s head through a plate-glass window,” Rubenstein said Wednesday.
Payne claims her son, Javier, 14, was in handcuffs when he mouthed off to a cop. The cop then flung him through the window of the Hookah Spot, a bar on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx
Investigators from the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau questioned the boy Sunday, recorded his statement and showed him an array of photos of cops for identification.
Cherita Payne also complained that the boy’s feet and wrist have been shackled to the bed in the hospital room for days. The cop guarding the teen prisoner told her it was “police protocol,” she said.
The NYPD declined to comment on the incident.
Javier and his friend also are charged with obstructing government administration and resisting arrest.

Russia, China sign deal to bypass U.S. dollar


Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping 


In a symbolic blow to U.S. global financial hegemony, Russia and China took a small step toward undercutting the domination of the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency on Tuesday when Russia’s second biggest financial institution, VTB, signed a deal with the Bank of China to bypass the dollar and pay each other in domestic currencies.
The so-called Agreement on Cooperation — signed in the presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is on a visit to Shanghai — was followed by the long-awaited announcement on Wednesday of a massive natural gas deal 10 years in the making.
“Our countries have done a huge job to reach a new historic landmark,” Putin said on Tuesday, making note of the $100 billion in annual trade that has been achieved between the two countries.
Demand for the dollar, which has long served as a safe and reliable reserve currency in international transactions, has allowed the U.S. to borrow almost unlimited cash and spend well beyond its means, which some economists say has afforded the United States an outsize influence on world affairs.
But the BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, a bloc of the world’s five major emerging economies — have long sought to diminish their dependence on the dollar as a means of reshaping the world financial and geopolitical order. In the absence of a viable alternative, however, replacing it has proved difficult.
For its part, “China sees the dominance of the dollar in international trade transactions as a remnant of American global dominance, which they hope to overthrow in the years ahead,” said Michael Klare, a professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College. “This is a small step in that direction, to reduce the primacy of the dollar in international trade.”
Some have been tempted to view Tuesday's deal in the context of Putin's showdown with the West over the crisis in Ukraine. After the U.S. and Europe imposed sanctions on Moscow for its annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, Putin may have finally made good on promised retaliation against what he views as Western hegemony in Russia's near abroad.
“Breaking the dominance of the U.S. dollar in international trade between the BRICS is something that the group has been talking about for some time,” said Chris Weafer, a founding partner of Macro-Advisory, a consultancy in Moscow. “The Ukraine crisis and the threats voiced by the U.S. administration may well provide the catalyst for that to start happening.”
To be sure, the Russia-China bank deal is mostly a symbolic step. Liza Ermolenko, an emerging markets economist at Capital Economics in London, said that the deal was still “a very small one, in the grand scale of things,” and that it wouldn’t change Russia’s reliance on the dollar “overnight.” Most of Russia’s export contracts in the oil and gas markets are still priced in dollars, she noted, and on a wider scale, replacing the dollar with the ruble is much too risky to even consider.
Likewise, even though China has agreed to the gas deal, which could see over $450 billion of Russian natural gas flow from eastern Siberia into China over the next 30 years, Russia is not in a position to abandon its ties with Europe.
"From the commercial standpoint, Europe is the most profitable market for Gazprom,” said Mikhail Korchemkin, the founder of Eastern European Gas Analysis, who has consulted for Gazprom, the Russian state-owned gas company. "Exports to China can generate a small profit, [but] only if the government makes it free of taxes and duties.”
But the bank deal is another indicator that Russia and China are in the middle of a wider rapprochement, which analysts say is premised not on ideological alignment but on a mutual desire to undercut the U.S. in their respective spheres of influence.
Both countries are wary of President Barack Obama’s “pivot east,” a recalibration of U.S. foreign policy away from decades of war in the Middle East and toward the fast-growing economies of the East. Cynical observers have interpreted the shift as an effort to contain China.
"This is a marriage of mutual strategic interests, not a marriage of love," said Klare. “China wants energy and weapons from Russia, and Russia wants diplomatic backing and cash. It’s a quid pro quo.”
Yet even if China feels threatened by U.S. encroachment, it is Russia that is desperately pursuing closer ties with China.
Putin may have gotten the better of the Western powers in the showdown over Crimea, but at the cost of growing geopolitical isolation. Under intense pressure to demonstrate Russia's avowed independence from the West, he has repeatedly threatened that he could simply shut off its natural gas pipelines to Europe and find new markets for Russian energy exports.
Separate from that political posturing, the Russian imperative to find new markets for its energy exports is nonetheless very real. Energy demands in Europe have plateaued and may even decline in the long term because of stringent environmental regulations.
“If Russia wants to continue to be a petrostate, it has to shift marketing of its exports to Asia," said Klare, who noted that Western energy conglomerates like ExxonMobil have begun doing the same. 
“We don’t want to push this too far and see it as a formation of a new, global anti-American bloc that is starting a new Cold War,” he added. "This is market-driven more than it’s political."


Isaiah 14:
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Ezekiel 38:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

Isaiah 47:
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
