The Slants and MLK jr.

Today is the day we honor one of The United States of America’s greatest public speakers who took on the status quo and fought for civil rights.  It also 2 years since The Slants first came to DC, confronting the Supreme Court, with their landmark legal case over their name.

The Slants honored freedom of speech and fighting for your rights at the Martin Luther King jr. Memorial. Simon Tam, founder of the band and the ‘Tam’ in the landmark legal case Lee Vs Tam that went all the way to the Supreme Court, was inspired throughout his life by Dr. King. It was important for him and the band to go to the monument while in town for their Supreme Court hearing 2 years ago.

This video is sort of a ‘behind the scenes.’ The audio quality isn’t great and the lighting is poor but the moment is sincere. Simon recorded Ken Shima singing while Joe Xiang played guitar for their own documentation of the trip. You can see Simon circling them, as silent onlookers began to gather. After they finish the song, some were trying to tip, impressed by the performance. For them, this was a moment, not just another performance for this Portland rock band, but a time to honor fight and struggle for civil rights and freedom of speech throughout history.

We salute the legacy Martin Luther King jr. and all those who follow in his footsteps to fight for justice, equality and freedom of speech.

Hillary Clinton Vocally Supported Racist Rapists

In 2011, there was a grassroots movement, started by a Tunisian man lighting himself on fire, called the Arab Spring.  The anti-establishment movement was immediately co-opted by right-wing groups that wanted more men’s rights, more theocratic rule and less progress.  The largest of these groups that proudly claimed to be Arab Spring-ers, was the Muslim Brotherhood.  This group is as right-wing, male-chauvinistic, theocratic and as xenophobic as the Ku Klux Klan and their members have included such memorable characters as Iman Al Zawahiri and Osama Bin Laden.  In a similar arrangement as with the IRA (Terrorist group, Irish Republican Army) and the Sinn Fien (Political body associated with the IRA) in Northern Ireland the MB is the Politcal or father organization for many Sunni Muslim terrorist groups including Ansar Al-Shariah, Hamas and most famously, Al Qaeda.  Hillary Clinton knew exactly who the Muslim Brotherhood was and still overtly and vocally supported them in their take over of Egypt.

This was a strained relationship because it hinged entirely on lying to the American people about the MB during the whole Arab Spring.  The US would have been in a revolt ready uproar if the truth that our government was backing a Hitler-Approved hate group that has the hobby of burning African Churches.  But, Hillary has had such an adoring and fawning media that simply didn’t challenge her when she lied and didn’t question her foreign policy decisions.  She literally said, “We stand with the protesters!” the same day the White House (Biden) stated that we stand with our long time ally, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.  ABC News reported on that as Vice President Biden, speaking from Washington DC, as ‘gaffing,’ instantly siding with Hillary despite no further clarification from the Executive Branch.  She then sat down with Muslim Brotherhood leaders and declared them as the ‘progressive’ and ‘democratic’ voices of the Egyptian people, completely lying but ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN all supported that narrative.

Western Reporters REPEATEDLY got assault by Muslim Brotherhood protesters:

Since the MB is a hate-group that hates all non-Sunni Moslems, it makes perfect sense that they would not like western media personnel, but this didn’t fit Clinton’s narrative.  The fix was not simple.  After a news reporter gets a concussion or a female reporter gets groped- it was the media’s job to then state that Hosni Mubarak (the long time US ally but now BAD GUY in Clinton’s State Department narrative) supporters had snuck into the crowd and impersonated Muslim Brotherhood protesters and then they, Mubarak supports, assault western reporters, while pretending to be Muslim Brother members.  Confused?  You should be, because that’s just gibberish, gibberish that got reported by US reporters.

Even Fox News, typically not thought to be friendly to democrat agendas, reported the convoluted conspiracy theories that Pres. Hosni Mubarak’s supporters were sneaking into Tahrir square and attacking our journalists.

The Muslim Brotherhood didn’t like the US killing MB member, Osama Bin Laden

The MB organized a massive rally on September 11th, 2012 in Cairo were they not only chanted “Obama Obama We are All Osama!” but they attack the US embassy in Cairo.  Hillary Clinton had the State department blame the protests on a video on Youtube that had not even gone viral in the most generous sense of the word and likely had not been seen by any of the protesters.  For two weeks the media reported the narrative put forth by Hillary’s people that all the attackers were protesters and they were protesting an offensive video.  This narrative, since discovered to be false, is still in Hillary Clinton’s book, Hard Choices.

we are all osama protest

(Don’t believe me?  Just find a copy of Hard Choices, open it up to the pictures and read the caption under this photo, it’s like she doesn’t believe in Video or Audio recording devices!)

 

 

The Arab Spring spread and wherever a Sunni Muslim wanted to kill a Shiite or a Christian or a Jew, the Muslim Brotherhood sent support, munitions, and prayers.  Hillary Clinton supported a group that Hitler supported, treated them as a respectable, regional authority and turned a blind eye to the subjugation of their women and even the rape of Western reporters including dutch woman Nina Burleigh and Lara Logan and allow the MB to violently oppress the historic Christian community Native* to Egypt and North Africa.

ADDENDUM:

Here’s 2 theories as to why Hillary Clinton would sabotage the stability of the Middle East so deliberately and so violently:

  • Theory 1:  She knew the “buck stopped” at the President’s desk and hoped he would not be able to handle a second term possibly allowing her to run in 2012.
  • Theory 2:  Hillary had a position of power (Secretary of State of the USA), a way to collect money from foreign governments (Clinton Foundation), a completely unregulated way of communicating with foreign governments (The Illegal Web Servers or “Email Server”) and the fawning support and unwavering trust of an adoring U.S. media.  Having all these things in play, she backs a group, any group to overthrow an ally.  The group she supports is praised, the ally is demonized, the ally is overthrown and then Hillary started getting some ass-kissery in her inbox from dictatorial governments all over the Mid-East accompanying donations to the Clinton Foundation. Donations came in from all over!… except from Qaddafi of course, hmm… guess he should have donated, then the US wouldn’t have been forced to destroy all their infrastructure.

Prescription Pills and Prince

 

First off, I should say that ThePodcaste.com does not advocate the abuse of any drugs, legal or illegal and we’ve been vocal about how smoking ANYTHING is technically bad for you.  That being said, we’ve lost Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson and now Prince to prescription medication and yet our parent’s generation still have The Eagles, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney!  WHAT THE #$%#!?  Those guys don’t even remember the 70s they were so high, yet gen X role models and pop stars are dropping like flies!

marijuana overdose

Remember in the 1990s when the headline “Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong Dead of Marijuana Overdoses” hit all the papers?  Neither do I.  I, personally, have never smoked a blunt but I’m really warming up to the ‘legalize it’ crowd because this is seeming crazier and crazier to support FDA approved heroine while tossing pot-heads in jail.  Even cocaine doesn’t doesn’t make peoples heart popped the way prescription uppers have done to so many!

 

I have no point in this but to vent my frustration to the news.  Rest In Peace, Prince.

DC Democrats prepare for Snow-pocalypse

 

WASHINGTON, DC- With reports of record snow fall in the next few days, DC’s Democrat run city council looks for progressive ways to protect the population of the nation’s capitol.  With some brain storming they realized the sure fire way to prevent mass snowing: Snow Free Zones.  The city hastily printed thousands of “Snow Free Zone” signs all over the district, letting man and nature know that higher penalties will be in place if they snow in that vicinity.  The President applauded this measure and invited the city council to the White House for photo-ops.
