THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN SAVED LIVES IN WW2, BUT COULDN'T GET A JOB BACK IN THE U.S.

 

The Tuskegee airmen were the first black servicemen to serve as military aviators in the U.S. armed forces, flying with distinction during World War II. Though subject to racial discrimination both at home and abroad, the 996 pilots and more than 15,000 ground personnel who served with the all-black units would be credited with some 15,500 combat sorties and earn over 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses for their achievements. The highly publicized successes of the Tuskegee Airmen helped pave the way for the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces under President Harry Truman in 1948.

 
Almost  100 Tuskegee Airmen hailed from Western PA. They overcame racial prejudice & discrimination while becoming an elite corps of pilots and support personnel who helped to defeat the Nazis.
 
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States armed forces. During World War II, African Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws.
 
The American military was racially segregated as was much of the country. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to the harshest forms of racial discrimination, both within and outside the U. S. military. Despite these challenges, they trained and flew with distinction and success. The black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Tuskegee, Alabama.

Research completed by Regis D. Bobonis, Sr. over the past five years uncovered the stories of dozens of Western PA Tuskegee Airmen.

"Identifying the airmen from Western PA proved to be more difficult than imagined since military records are nonexistent", according to Regis D. Bobonis, Sr. "Oftentimes the descendants of Tuskegee Airmen were themselves unaware of their parents service since many rarely even discussed their wartime experience", said Bobonis.

Boboinis founded the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial project and currently serves as its Chairperson.

I DON'T CARE WHAT RACE THEY ARE - JUSTICE DEMANDS THEY BE HANGED

 
When  you abolish capital punishment, the most sadistic, vicious criminals can rape, mutilate and murder - and laugh in your face. Yes, dear fellow Christians, keep forgiving crime and YOU are guilty of the crimes suffered by the innocent. The blood of the crime victims is on the hands of those who forgive.
 
Phyllis Carter
 
 
 
A 12-year-old white boy was drowned in a bath of boiling water by black robbers who raped his mother before killing both his parents in a violent house robbery.
 
Three blacks broke into the family's home in Walkerville, Johannesburg, where they assaulted and shot dead Tony Viana, 53, and brutally raped and killed his wife, Geraldine. They then tied up and gagged the sobbing boy, Amaro, and pushed him into a bath of boiling hot water to drown him, 'because he would be able to identify them'.
 
The family's gardener, Patrick Petrus Radebe, 24, their domestic servant's son, Sipho Mbele, 21, pleaded guilty to three charges of murder and one charge of rape each, reported The Telegraph. David Motaung, 20, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to robbery charges.
 
According to the accused, "we mutually raped Geraldine Viana." Sipho Mbele raped her first while Petrus Radebe helped to restrain her by standing on her face. Afterwards Radebe raped her too.
 
The white family's dog apparently barked tremendously during the burglary. The animal was killed by disembowelment. They then left the South African court and walked back their cells laughing, according to Beeld newspaper.
 
As the death penalty was abolished in South Africa, they will probably get lengthy prison sentences but could be out on parole within five to ten years.
 
Now there have been 70.000+ murdered total South African Whites in the unreported genocide since the end of Apartheid. Is this the "saint" Nelson Mandela's "rainbow nation"?

CORRUPTION AT MONTREAL CITY HALL - MONTREAL POLICE COVER UP CRIME

 
    "Mrs. Carter's rights were violated three times."
Marlene Jennings,
Member of Canada's Parliament
and
Quebec's Deputy Police Ethics Commissioner
 
Montreal Police helped Dawn McSweeney to rob me.
 
Because the Montreal Police refused to recover my stolen belongings or to prosecute the thief, Dawn McSweeney and those she calls her "partners in crime", the thieves went on to steal my father's entire estate.
 
Since then, The Montreal Police have been covering up these crimes.
 
I am seeking a lawyer to sue the Montreal Police for the severe damages they have caused me and my family by their negligence and irresponsibility and their deliberate and repeated refusal to take appropriate legal action.
 
The cover-up by the Montreal Police continues, and I continue to demand justice.
 
 
 

DANGER AT FUKUSHIMA - MORE CANCER TO COME - SUPPORT THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY

SUNDAY@8AM: "We are a fortnight away from what could be the most dangerous and violent moment humanity has ever faced and no one is watching. Very few have reported on what is about to happen, starting in November. 

The operation to remove 400,000 kg of highly irradiated spent fuel rods beneath the Fukushima plant s damaged Reactor No. 4, could set off a catastrophe greater than any we have ever seen, numerous independent experts warn. 

An operation of this scale, says plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company, has never been attempted before, and is wrought with danger. Many in the know have left Japan with their families this month ahead of this extremely painstaking, risky and razor's edge major project."
 
SUNDAY@8AM:  "We are a fortnight away from what could be the most dangerous and violent moment humanity has ever faced and no one is watching. Very few have reported on what is about to happen, starting in November.

Many in the know have left Japan with their families this month ahead of this extremely painstaking, risky and razor's edge major project."
 
 

The Fukushima plant north of Tokyo was battered by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, leading to meltdowns and explosions that sent plumes of radiation into the air and sea.

About 150,000 people were evacuated. A large area of surrounding land is off-limits because of radiation but the government is hoping to eventually allow everyone to go home.

But Shigeru Ishiba, secretary general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), said it was inevitable that some people would never go back.

"The time will definitely come that someone must say 'they cannot live in this area but they would be compensated'," Ishiba was quoted as saying in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.

The question of letting people go home is politically sensitive for the government and it would not want to have to tell thousands of residents that cannot go back.

The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co, has been struggling to stop radiation leaks from the wrecked plant.

It is now preparing to remove 400 tonnes of highly irradiated spent fuel from a damaged reactor building, a very dangerous operation that has never been attempted before on this scale.

Ishiba also said authorities might have to relax limits for radiation exposure if anything was ever going to be done in terms of re-building the area.

"Unless we come up with answer as to what to do with a measure for decontamination, reconstruction of Fukushima won't ever make progress," Ishiba was quoted as saying.

QUEBEC SEPARATISTS WANT TO CREATE A GHETTO - MOST OF US WANT SANITY

 
A look at the history of Quebec. Before the 1940's, if a Jewish person had to be hospitalized in Montreal, he or she could not get kosher food. The family had to bring food to the hospital for them for all their meals.
 
Jewish girls and boys who wanted to become doctors and nurses were strongly discouraged by Montreal hospitals and McGill University which controlled their opportunities by strict quotas.
 
In the 1930's, the Jewish community in Montreal got together and started building the Jewish General Hospital. If you go there, you will find doctors, nurses, technicians, porters and patients who are English, French, Greek, Italian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, African, Pakistani, Indian, Arabic, Russian, Israeli, Iranian, Filipino, and anything else you can imagine.
 
I even had the good fortune to meet Mike Running Cloud there. His wife was a patient, as was I. Mike is Canadian, Anishinaabe Ojibwe. A wounded veteran of many battles, Mike is a U.S. Navy Seal. He gave me his big, hard hand to hold tight while I was being probed for a painful intravenous chemo treatment. Who cares what language or race anyone is when you are fighting for your life? A friendly hand may come from the most unexpected place.
 
The Quebec community shut the Jews out. The Jewish people created one of the most advanced hospitals in North America and invited the world in. Even the well known separatist, Jacques Parizeau who, in his own words, condemned "the Anglos and the Ethnics" said he received excellent care at the Jewish General Hospital. Why did he go to the JGH for help when Montreal has several other major hospitals?
 
They drew a circle and kept me out.
I drew a circle, and invited them in.
 
Oh, Canada. Wake up!

DO YOU KNOW DOROTHY ELSMORE ? - LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY.

 
DOROTHY ELSMORE,
33 Furnace Road,
Normacot, Longton,
Stoke-on-Trent,
England.
 
It was shortly after World War II, perhaps 1948 or 1949. I was a young girl working in my family's store at 1248 Peel Street in the heart of Montreal. Our store, Metropolitan News Agency, was the first store in Montreal to sell newspapers from all over the world. We also sold English Bone China cups and saucers and fine Irish linens.
 
One summer day, my Pop, George Rubin, and I were out on the sidewalk in front of the store, unpacking a barrel of cups and saucers just arrived from England. The china was packed in wet straw or wood shavings and we couldn't unpack it inside the store while customers were there. So we unpacked the china on the sidewalk and packed up the straw for removal by the city later.
 
That day was unusual because there was more than pretty cups and saucers in that barrel. My Pop handed me a paper he had just found in the straw.
 
It was a small handwritten note that read something like this. "My name is Dorothy Elsmore. I work in (the china factory)". I can't recall which factory it was. The note went on. "I don't know where this barrel is going to be shipped, but if you get my note, I would like to hear from you. I would like to have a pen pal overseas." And then she wrote her address which I remember to this day.
 
Dorothy Elsmore, 33 Furnace Road, Normacot, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England.
 
And so I began a correspondence with Dorothy Elsmore that lasted for quite some time. I sent her some of my costume jewellery and American comic books and she sent me British girls' magazines. She also sent me a leather letter case she had made. I still have it somewhere among my precious mementoes. 
 
And we exchanged photographs. One photo she sent showed her and I think, perhaps, a brother, in front of St. James' Palace. I also remember that Dorothy was a Sunday School teacher at an Anglican Church.
 
At Christmas, I arranged to have chocolates sent to her - Cadbury, I think. Ironically, the chocolate was made in England but it was still rationed there. So I could easily arrange with Eaton's on St. Catherine Street in Montreal, Canada, to send her the chocolate from the factory in England, but she could not buy it herself.
 
I remember the letter Dorothy sent me when she received the chocolates. She said that it was the first Christmas since the end of the war that the Christmas lights were turned on in London. That should fix the year for those who were there.
 
I tried to find Dorothy Elsmore a few years ago without success. If you know her, I would love to hear from you. You can find me on Facebook or here on Blogger.
