9/11

Trump’s Influence: “It is a very scary time for young men in America, where you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of. … Women are doing great.” [Oct. 2, 2018]

While many schools are no longer teaching about “Stranger Danger” …banning both books and sex education on one hand, our president elect is advising men to “deny anything that’s said about you.”

Since the election, misogynistic remarks about women have been reported: New York (CNN) — Sexist and abusive attacks on women, like “your body, my choice” and “get back to the kitchen,” have surged across social media …Trump’s behavior appears to tie into child abuse, per a blog of Jill Dennison that I highly recommend today. Clue–concerns Gaetz and other possible pedophiles he has control over.

AND NETANYAHU’S BEHAVIOR

For more than a year, Mr. Netanyahu has denied being briefed in advance about the invasion. He has avoided setting up a state inquiry to assess the culpability of Israel’s military and political leaders, including himself. Was he willingly sacrificing his own people to justify an all-out war? Sort of reminds me of Bush and 9/11’s “surprise.”

A.I. in the Studio

In addition to “figuring out stuff” technically, A.I. has invaded human artists and creativity itself, belittling it down apparently to its bare bones of ho hum. What’s left to bolster the value of humanity? Did A.I. vivify Trump? (That’s as dumb an idea as Trump’s many)….When will A.I. get to mimicking religion? Or, like Trump, professing itself as our savior? Oooh, I sound cranky, don’t I? But I refuse to tinker with the free A.I. toys to slant reality. Reality? Reality anyone?

Whatever was that?

“During the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in the struggle for universal suffrage. They participated in political meetings and organized political societies. African American women attended political conventions at their local churches where they planned strategies to gain the right to vote. In the late 1800s, more Black women worked for churches, newspapers, secondary schools, and colleges, which gave them a larger platform to promote their ideas….

“But in spite of their hard work, many people didn’t listen to them. Black men and white women usually led civil rights organizations and set the agenda. They often excluded Black women from their organizations and activities. For example, the National American Woman Suffrage Association prevented Black women from attending their conventions. Black women often had to march separately from white women in suffrage parades….”

“After the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920, Black women voted in elections and held political offices. However, many states passed laws that discriminated against African Americans and limited their freedoms. Black women continued to fight for their rights. Educator and political advisor Mary McLeod Bethune formed the National Council of Negro Women in 1935 to pursue civil rights. Tens of thousands of African Americans worked over several decades to secure suffrage, which occurred when the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965. This Act represents more than a century of work by Black women to make voting easier and more equitable.”

“Islam deserves to be seen as s free, happy religion that promotes love. Especially gender is a topic that left too many people in a situation of limitation, where it isn’t needed. I’m convinced of that. Read the scriptures, think about them. It gave me new perspectives on this topic. ” –A sincere believer

IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION?

Since September 11 was and is still such a mystery (in my opinion), as well as how Netanyahu didn’t respond to the alerts of a women’s lookout reporting mass activity in Hamas prior to the October 7 invasion, a dark side of me wonders if both the U.S. and Israel welcomed the attack to have an excuse to wage all-out war. Reading about Kennedy’s CIA meetings about Cuba gave me cause to wonder.
