Very interesting to read what the yanks did to Elia kazan during the 50s.

A turning point in Kazan's career came with his testimony as a witness before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1952 at the time of the Hollywood blacklist, which brought him strong negative reactions from many friends and colleagues. His testimony helped end the careers of former acting colleagues Morris Carnovsky and Art Smith, along with the work of playwright Clifford Odets.[7] Kazan and Odets had made a pact to name each other in front of the committee.[8] Kazan later justified his act by saying he took "only the more tolerable of two alternatives that were either way painful and wrong."[9] Nearly a half-century later, his anti-Communist testimony continued to cause controversy. When Kazan was awarded an honorary Oscar in 1999, dozens of actors chose not to applaud as 250 demonstrators picketed the event.[10]

What is interesting is tWhat the Turkish Government did to Yilmaz Guney. But what is even more interesting is the fact that Kazan visited Guney during the making of the film Duvar.

Sometimes you read something and than think what the fuck was the west doing FFS.

AMERICA ALLIED TO AL QAEDA AND HEZBOLLAH IN LIBYA?


In the back-and-forth battles being waged between Qaddafy’s forces and the rebels, the rebels managed to seize a stock of “at least 2000 artillery shells carrying mustard gas and 1,200 nerve gas shells” which the rebels subsequently sold to Hezbollah and Hamas, Iran’s allies for “several million dollars.” Hezbollah and Hamas, of course, want those Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) to use them against Israeli targets in a future war. Hezbollah and Hamas are reportedly trying to smuggle these WMD weapons to Hezbollah and Hamas bases adjacent to Israel. Supposedly, these WMD are now in Southern Sudan

Here is the second decision by the Supreme Court.

Environment Agency has no control at the state level. So each state can pollute as much as it likes. This is no major setback for JB, this is a major set back for mankind.

On another note, if all the powers of the federal government is removed than surely the USA is finished. It will return to independent states. And that's where it is heading unless somebody puts a stop to the madness tramp has created appointing lunatics like himself on to the court.

I like the Bulgarian little lady… she proved to be a smarter crypto-criminal than many others out there!

Deep down they’re all the same… looking to become millionaires at the expense of others so the smartest criminal wins.

Admittedly the little lady stole from Greedy rich Americans so in some way I should not object but a wrong is a wrong no matter who causes and also who is wronged.

On another matter listen to Jane Elliot, very interesting indeed. Racism exposed.
