The Truth Is...
We are are currently living in a society where panic is in an abundance.
And that means for every poll and statistic out there, the world always gives us something new and frantic to chew on.
There are far too many subjects to discuss, so, I'll harp on just one of them.
Serving up pet peeve #32...Healthcare in the U.S.
Has anyone ever wondered why now we have so many autistic kids than in prior years? I mean if medicine is supposed to be more advanced now, you would think that the chances of having a healthy baby should sky rocket, right?
Why is it so important now, to get a vaccination? They will actually deny a child entry to school without the full battery of immunizations,even when it has been proven that more children that have less shots get sick less often.
Autism seems to be a byproduct illness of Western civilization, countries with high technology and wealth.
Inhale this bit of knowledge....
* According to the CDC's 2012 study on the matter, 1 in 88 children is diagnosed with some form of autism. In just 2000, the number was 1 in 150.
* Five times as many boys are diagnosed with autism than girls, that breaks down to 1 in 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls with the disorder.
* The U.S. has the most required vaccines (36) for children of any country on earth. The number is actually double the
world average of 18.
* Kids in the U.S. are reported as being diagnosed with autism at 10 times the rate as children in other
developed nations.
In fact, countries with less vaccines required have both a lower infant mortality rate for children under five years old and lower autism rates. I wonder if that is a coincidence?
Ask yourself why are local pharmacies and jobs trying to push this flu shot/pneumonia shot shit down our throats?
This is not some bullshit ass conspiracy theory.
This is coming from the same media where one moment coffee is good for you, and the next, its bad for you.
Alcohol consumption is bad for you, yet drinking red wine is good for you. I know everything in moderation, but c'mon!Pork is bad for you, now its the "other white meat" - eat up!
Speaking of what we consume...check out the seafood that was destroyed and fucked up in the Gulf by BP... it now has the stamp of approval of from the good ole government. Really????
Just last week, marine biologists were showing off pictures of the some of the new crop of seafood from the Gulf, shrimp with lesions, fish missing eyes and fins...I mean it was like an episode of the Simpsons where Mr. Burns was invited to eat a meal of a multi-eyed fish from a lake where his nuclear plant had been dumping waste!
I believe that the media and the powers that be, do this shit on purpose, just to keep the public on its toes and guessing. They try and keep our asses confused by feeding us dumb, conflicting info shit, and we don't even see the obvious right in front of us - you know, that common sense stuff.
That's exactly how they try to train us to be...walking through life with blinders on, watching the silly ass antics of the Kardashians or the Real Housewives of Wherever, and not seeing how they are slowly, but surely fucking us all up, from the medical "help" they give, to the poison they're feeding us.
We shouldn't ask questions, just listen to Big Brother, he has our collective best interest at heart. Sure.
For you motherfuckers that hang on the media and government's every word, SHAME ON YOU!!!

The Assassination of Trayvon Martin
Really what else would you call what happened to Mr. Martin?
When a parent says goodbye to their kid leaving their house, they don't expect that to be the last goodbye.
In this case, Trayvon came from Miami to visit his dad at a supposed quiet, gated community. But then, you have a portly ass racist George Zimmerman, hovering around the area as the unofficial neighborhood watch captain, acting a damn fool.
It turns out that George has logged more than forty six calls to 911 about people he thinks are "suspicious" in recent years.
I'm certain 99.9% of the people who he would call about were black and Trayvon unfortunately fit the description.
So, on a night when Mr. Martin was walking home from the store, with a pack of Skittles and an iced tea, Zimmerman spotted him and called 911.
During the conversation, Zimmerman, I'll call him Predator, tells the dispatcher in a calm voice that Mr. Martin looks suspicious. In short, the dispatcher asked Zimmerman the Predator, to stop following Mr. Martin immediately. Within moments, there were gun shots and a kid screaming for his life, and shortly thereafter, nothing but silence.
I can just imagine Zimmerman after assassinating Mr. Martin, beating his chest like a fucking ape in the rain, and walking away, leaving a young man dead on the ground.
Trayvon was just TWENTY YARDS away from his house and this fat bastard creeps up with his cowardly ass and kills this young man in cold blood.
Neighborhood watch my ass…. kill a kid for no reason!
Let's start with the fact that there isn't an official neighborhood watch in that area. It is legal for Florida residents to have a gun as long as it's registered. So, why the fuck was Zimmerman carrying his shit around like Wyatt Earp in a gated community?
Zimmerman and the Sanford Florida Police Department agreed it was self defense. I say they agreed because who else was involved in this conversation? The HELL it is.
What can a defenseless kid carrying a pack of Skittles and an iced tea possibly do to your fat ass?
It is not a surprise when incidents like this happen in Florida, beyond Disney it is a pretty fucked up place to be. Race relations in that area suck and history leads me to believe that.
It has lead to tension, tempers flaring, and you can take it from there.
The shit going on down in the Sunshine State is not brand new, sad part it will never get old either.
Across America, from the shitty way people treat the President to another Racist Ass Town, USA, to innocent kids getting shot out of fear of stereotypes - black folks are going through it.
The problem I see is that it now seems to be happening more to young kids as opposed to adults, it’s like America is trying to tell kids, stop striving for shit, you will never be president, your life is worthless.
Don't go to college….that’s for elitists not you….right Rick Santorum?
This shit was a set up from the beginning and Zimmerman is the worst kind of predator.
His racist bullshit seems geared towards anything harmless, unassuming, unguarded, defenseless, “not seeing shit coming” type of BLACK kid.
With too much time on his hands, this bitch sits and waits to see who walks by his window - then it's off to the races. It doesn't take much to set him off on his delusions that he is protecting his neighbors from the “black threat”.
Just being a young black man is sufficient enough.
In short, this is what happened…
He called 911
Followed Mr. Martin
Walks up to Mr. Martin
Assasinates Mr. Martin
And walks away.
And in their response, the police in the area, are just as bad, and they are his accomplices in this crime.
If you read the story, and the people who have stepped up and told what they saw and heard that evening, these “men” with badges have switched shit up, have dismissed witnesses, and basically turned this shit into a cold case file.
But not so fast...now the Justice Department and the FBI are now involved.
So, now the police department has to actually do some work. I guess sending a narcotics officer instead of an homicide officer to the scene is not going to cut it now that the Feds are involved.
Once again, Black people again are asked not to be so sensitive to the matter - justice will be served and this too shall pass.
Black Americans should not be asked “to settle” and be calm for the same shit all day, every day.
The minute you get a rise out of our collective asses, the media portrays us as overreacting. Slavery has been over for years, so what is the big deal, right? Well, if you had to deal with this kind of irregular behavior on a daily basis or hear of someone who has, you would react too.
Imagine your own race for a minute….
Imagine being pulled over, searched, and being called every name in the KKK handbook, except the name on your birth certificate.
Imagine going into a store and becoming the immediate priority of the security staff or the flip side - being treated if you don’t belong there and being ignored.
Imagine hearing a racist asshole begin every excuse with "I'm Just A Concerned Citizen…."
Imagine hearing something stereotypical and demeaning come out of someone’s mouth and then excuse those words by saying that they aren’t racist because they know someone black.
Imagine being a person of dark complexion and hearing jokes that demean your color – the skin you were born in.
Imagine a person that doesn’t cave into straightening their hair “European style” and wears a natural hair style, being treated differently or having to endure people wanting to “touch” their hair like they are in a petting zoo.
Imagine folks clutching their bags or purses as you walk by. (That shit has happened to me and I'm a woman.)
Imagine people expecting every word that comes out of your mouth to be some combination of urban rap or plantation speak and the blatant look of shock when it doesn’t. “He/she speaks so well” isn’t necessarily a compliment.
Imagine your individual life’s experience being merged with every other person who happens to share your color, it is like no black person has an identity, we are all one big episode of “Good Times”.
Imagine being blamed for all the short comings of this country despite the fact that you only make up about 13% of the population. TV really put out the message that those “darkeys are running this country into the ground”.
We’re the only race thrown under the bus on a regular basis and while under the bus, the driver turns our ass into a speed bump…going forward, reverse, forward, and reverse several times.
Try to put yourself in the place of the parents whose child was gunned down by some fat fuck who took it upon himself to do an unlawful citizen’s assassination because apparently he doesn't think black kids should walk around without their freedom papers or their master tagging along!
Who made this ass the trustee of the gated community? I guess the badge in his head was all he needed to carry out his mission.
I think one of the craziest things to emerge from this case was Predator’s dad saying that he isn’t racist – he is half Hispanic after all. Really? Being half Hispanic makes you above racism now? He is probably self-hating too.
Obviously, if this predator is arrested, there are a few things I see coming….
Because of the numerous 911 calls, his defense attorney will say he's insane or was temporarily so, and if his case goes to trial, he will be guilty by reason of insanity.
Or, his attorney could really stress the fact that Predator was defending himself, against the person who he was actually stalking, and used his last resort, his gun, when the teen asked him why he was following him.
The Predator will get seven years and be out in three years, when he gets out; he will apply and receive permission to again carry a firearm.
He will then slip into his old ways, and the Predator will begin his assault on black folks again.
Too many times, this is how the story begins and ends.
Black lives are seemingly not worth much in this society, and the younger they are, the more people shake their heads and tsk, tsk, and turn away. Not enough is done to protect lives.
For once I would like to see a happy ending.

“Good Kid” Charged With Murder at Naperville Bar Over a Trivial Matter
In the words of the Naperville Police department, this was one of the most senseless crimes of murder ever committed.
The incident started over one guy, William Hayes, cracking jokes towards Daniel Olaska. Daniel was drinking beer out of a wine glass and Hayes found that amusing.
What's not amusing, is that Olaska pulled out a 5 inch blade and began slicing anyone in is path. The first person in his path was Shaun Wild, a friend to Hayes, who jumped in the path of Hayes and Olaska.
Olaska sliced Wild's arm and stabbed Hayes in the chest.
Olaska then tried to leave and Wild tried to stop him. Olaska using the same knife, stabbed Wild in the chest, piercing his heart.
Olaska tries to leave again, when an employee of the bar, Rafael Castenaza, tried to stop Olaska.
Olaska stabbed Castenaza in his arm so severly that the wound required several stiches.
Finally, the police arrived and stopped Olaska before he tried to leave again.
Bond for Olaska was set at $3 million dollars.
Olaska's lawyer says his client didn't have a criminal background to warrant such a heavy bond,(he sure has a record now). He also mentioned that he is a supervisor at the airport and that his client is a good guy.
The hell he is.
Accidents happen. This shit had intent and purpose.
This fool went on a full blown rampage with two patrons and an employee at a bar. Most good guys don't have an "hair trigger" temper.
By the way Olaska, where the fuck is your sense of humor?
Why did you need to stab and kill because your ego was bruised - are you that insecure?
After all the chaos and when the smoke clears,
We have a employee of the bar injured.(Good Guy)
We have another guy that survived a chest wound.(Good Guy)
Then there's Shaun Wild, a school teacher. MURDERED!(Good Guy)
Then there's Olaska, a volatile coward that needed a knife to prove what little manhood he assumes he has. (Jerk and Bad Guy)

DCFS Investigating Mother Whose Kids Died in Fire for Child Neglect
There are clearly circumstances that are sometimes out of your control.
Then there's problems that you create early on and refuse to straighten out your situation. Alicia Myles fits into this unfortunate slot.
Alicia, 25 years old has basically turned herself into a sperm receiver. It may sound harsh but it is the bottom line. Until a few days ago, she was the mother of three and expecting another child within a month.
All that changed on January 24th,2012, at 3:00am, on an early, cold, winter morning.
There are two sides to this horrible ending.
One source says Myles' 3 year old daughter started the fire. Another source says a pizza box caught fire.
Either way it didn't end well for two children.
For whatever reason, Miss Myles had been under investigation by the Department of Children and Family services in the past. There were issues with two former boyfriends and there was evidence of child neglect in 2006 and 2008.
If this baby making broad had all these issues, the first question should be - why keep bringing kids into the world that obviously you don't have the mental capacity and/or funds to handle?
Second question, if the state concluded that she was an unfit parent, why were the kids still in her care? Any 6 and 3 year old that is allowed to make snacks unsupervised in the kitchen at 3am with Mom's blessing shows some lack of supervision.
Foster care is a mess, DCFS is a mess, and to top it off Myles is fucked up. Where was her responsibility to keeping those kids safe? Those kids were basically on their own.
The system and the mother failed those kids horribly!
Those babies never had a chance.
They caught hell everyday just being around Myles.
Those kids deserved better!
So, what happens now? Life goes on.
Myles i'm sure will give birth to more kids. Business as usual.

'He is Not Fit to Live in Society': Student Who Raped and Killed Teacher When THIRTEEN Sentenced to 85 Years in Jail
Sociopath: A person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for the feeling and welfare of others.
There are no words to express how I feel about the horrible crimes; Brian Wonsom committed towards Hanna Wheeling, a teacher at a youth facility.
I'm upset, but mostly puzzled; this is one of those cases that leave you speechless.
I didn't want to list the past crimes he's committed that led to this last murder, and there were several, but despite it all, I can't dismiss this young man as just another dude out of control.
I'm not giving Brian a pass, I just think Brian hasn't been wired right from day one. I can honestly say that had he been diagnosed earlier, maybe people could have been saved.
One person called him a sociopath. I'm not a doctor, so I'm not at liberty to diagnose him. I don't know the history of his upbringing' but it's very painful to read that starting at 13 years old, a young man could have created such a path of destruction and misery without any feelings about it all.
This is one of those times where the system not only failed Brian, but everyone that crossed Brian's path.
Here's one of those moments, while some of us are at the State Capital discussing budget cuts and program eliminations, that maybe we need to keep mental facilities open, have the necessary drugs available and accessible, and provide the best psychiatric care that our tax dollars can buy for those who need it. Maybe, just maybe, we need to put the needs of people who can't speak for themselves like Brian first.
Literally, lives depend on it.
Now, I'm speaking from experience. I had an uncle that Tinley Park & Jackson Park Hospitals would just dope up and sent back to my grandmother's house without any real medical instruction or direction.
At the time, I was young and visiting - I had no clue of his condition. During his schizophrenic rages, I just grabbed a baseball bat to protect my granny.
I would never excuse anyone when a crime is committed. I'm one of the biggest advocates when it comes to crime and swift punishment.
But for an individual to do the things that Brian did without remorse, he either needs the best mental care available or he's a damn good actor worthy of an Oscar and can plead insanity.
