Just an amazing line-up. People I read all the time. We need information getting out and this seems a brilliant and easy way of doing it. The site, The Daily Blog, launches March 1. No bloody idea what I shall be able to add, but by Gods it will make me take my game up a notch. Thanks Martin, brilliant idea. i want to post this scene from the brilliant ‘Land and Freedom’. Even when things look really bad, and NZ seems destined for disaster if National keep up, we must keep going and fight, spread information and facts. And get through this time.
If Rappers Can Say ‘Faggot’ Why Can’t Sharon Needles Say ‘Nigger’.

THIS WILL GET YOU IN THE LOOP WITH ALL THE CARRY ON.
Such a double standard from Black performers. They can call woman ‘bitches and ho’s’.TThey can call anyone they want ‘faggot’ as the ultimate insult. They call each other ‘niggers’ with such gay abandon. but for some reason the word ‘nigger’ is sacred to them and no ‘whitey’ can use it. Well, fuck that fake ass nigger shit. All rappers constantly use the word ‘faggot’ all the time and it is such an insult. So fuck their nigger asses. I believe if they are going to continue to use the word faggot, then I am going to use the word nigger as much as I damn well please. So you go Sharon Needles. I totally support you GF. And your performances are art, just as much as any rap or hip hop song.

RT Or Russia Today Score The Julian Assange 10 Part Interview Series.
dddirectplus.in
Cyberspace’s most famous activist, Julian Assange, is launching his own talkshow, to be broadcast exclusively on RT. The program, written and hosted by the founder of whistle-blowing site Wikileaks, will focus on his favorite topic: controversy.
The show, arguably the most anticipated news series of 2012, will feature ten “iconoclasts, visionaries and power insiders” – people Assange can clearly identify with, being a rather controversial figure himself. The 40-year-old Australian media and internet entrepreneur will get to talk about the issues of the day with those he believes will shape “the world tomorrow.”
WATCH – T.I. Still Wants To Be Called ‘Nigger’.

WELL HE IS A FUCKWIT. AND IF A WHITE PERSON CALLED HIM ‘NIGGER’ HE WOULD POP A CAP IN NIS ASS. SO STOP STAYING ‘FAGGOT’ AND ‘FAG’ YOU NIGGER.
Rapper T.I. called in to TMZ to talk about his recent comments in defense of Tracy Morgan to Vibe magazine, in which he said that celebrities should be allowed to speak out against gay people without fear of being shut down.
Said. T.I.: ““They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’”
TMZ asked T.I. about the comments:
“I was quoted correctly, but I was taken out of context…I’m not saying that being gay is being un-American. What I was saying was to use whatever power or authority you have to shut people down because they don’t agree with you that’s not what America was built upon. The institution allows us, it affords us the right, to speak out peacefully and respectfully in opposition of any point or any topic that comes up…I’m not against gay marriage…but for the people who may have an opinion against it, then for the corporations to throw their weight around to shut them down, that’s not fair.”
He added: “It’s about people who take themselves too seriously, any group. It’s not just about gays, I think that African Americans groups sometimes take things a tad too seriously too…If you use the “n” word like Don Imus and say something that’s completely derogatory and disrespectful, that’s understandable. But if you just have an opinion on something that just happens to be related to the African American culture and it’s in opposition, then they have no right to shut you down either.”

LOVE THIS. AND THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL KERI AND TAMMY FOR SHARING WITH US AND KEEPING ME ON MY TOES TO KEEP THE COMMUNICATION GOING. YOU BITCHES ROCK ALOT. X. AND WE MUST ALL SHARE THESE STORIES FLOODING OUT NOW. INFORMATION IS POWER. WE HAVE TO SHARE IT AND EMPOWER PEOPLE.
I recently read a blog post that described the OWS protesters as “spoiled brat college students, America hating Marxists, paid professional protesters and plain old lazy bottom feeders, all demanding freebies while claiming ownership of the fruit of other folk’s labor.” Rather than stoop to the same level and engage in name-calling, I decided to vent my outrage by making this video. Images and music are obviously not mine, please feel free to let me know if that’s a problem.
