Democrat or Republican? Conservative or Liberal? Left wing, or Right wing? Questions that are oh so prevalent in today's society, especially here in the US. With these questions we are all thrown into a box. Are you a racist xenophobe, or are you a thieving snowflake?

Sarita FarnelliPublished 4 years ago in The SwampTake Down The Corrupted
Someone tell me why the hell it takes a "Riot" ," Protesting," " social media "and "Anonymous" to say and show that Black people needs Justice. Black lives are forever being mistreated or lost and misunderstood. Why ? because of the color of our skin. Why? Because some people were taught to be racist and view black people the same way that they did 400 years ago when we were slaves and expect us to be that way as if we haven’t evolved or we don’t know we have freedom or at least supposed to. Why ? Because Trump already says, What do we as black people have to lose? We’re already in poverty ? We already have problems?

In September 2018, the nation had their ears glued to every word spoken by Christine Blasey Ford at the at the nomination hearing for now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. So many of us felt for this woman and couldn’t stand to see her tell her story in front of the U.S. Senate. We also couldn’t stand to see Justice Kavanaugh get through to the Supreme Court. The American Left was disgusted.

Corruption Feeds Terrorism Sarah Chayes detailed that corruption drives the young and disaffected youth into the waiting arms of the Taliban. Corruption, as a driver and a facilitator of terrorism, is not limited to Afghanistan and can be seen world-wide, particularly in Africa, several parts of Asia, the former USSR and Latin America. The opening of markets through globalisation, and the subsequent relative ease in which corrupt state officials can immediately wire stolen money, has led to populations being disaffected with their leaders and institutions.

Look at this commercial. The inevitably sad truth is, grievously that that's all it is. A commercial. A fraudulent method to sway you into doing the right thing, being a precious baby's voice, just as you should be. All of these vulnerable children represent the millions of children that are irrevocably bound to rampant poverty, unbearable pain, and immoral neglect.

There is no arguing that a little bill known as “CT-5341”, which was aimed at banning the keeping of cetaceans in zoological facilities in the state of Connecticut, died attempting to make it onto the state’s Environmental Committee’s Agenda. While the bill did get the usual praise from various animal rights groups and extremists like any new proposed anti-zoo law would it got more opposition from concerned scientists and zoo professionals who called it out for having the potential to slow down any conservation efforts that require access to resident animals living in zoological settings.

I had a problem singling out one world leader that needed to hear this message, so I decided that it was a letter to ALL world leaders both politically, ethically and morally. Maybe the ones who are already embodying leadership fully and know the reality of what I am sharing here will be an even bigger action example to the rest…Who knows we’ll see!

It is no secret that the United States began as a slave society. Throughout history, the narrative of Afro-Americans treated as second class citizens manifested in slavery, the civil war, reconstruction, and the civil rights movement. The Supreme Court ruling of Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), made segregation of any form illegal in the United States. Many viewed desegregation as the “freedom” Afro-Americans deserved after the calculated and systematic racism brought on by European colonizers. In 2008 history was made with the first Afro-American President and First Lady. Black women are currently the most educated group in the United States. There is an array of black wealth circulating throughout America and black entrepreneurship is on the rise. There are laws put in place to combat discrimination and racism. To the ignorant eye, Afro-Americans are “equal.” However, we know that racism still thrives in American culture. The criminal justice system in the United States is a blatant example of lack of equality amongst the races. If you look at the actual language in the 13th amendment (the amendment that ended slavery in the U.S.) it states that, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime shall exist within the United States.” But we knew this. We all saw the Netflix documentary. Afro-American males account for 37% of the prison population in the U.S. There are also 96,000 people from Pennsylvania are behind bars. And with no surprise Afro-Americans make up 46% of the prison population. The number of individuals on probation and parole in PA are even higher.
Brittonea MeredithPublished 4 years ago in The SwampThe destruction of justice in democracies
The destruction of justice in democracies . Legal abuse of natural justice. In any democracy the politicians consider themselves “law makers,” they like to believe they make the rules and laws that govern the people. Though the party system, if any particular group of politicians win a majority; they form the government. They then fool themselves into believing they run the country and make the rules everyone has to follow. In just about every democratic nation, on any day of the week, evidence can be found: if searched for, that this is a fallacy. Politicians tend to think in grand sweeping gestures, the big picture, great overall intentions.
