Yes Again WE CALL FOR WAR - AGAINST WAR ! War is a terrible thing and because we have seen the ramifications of this war, we are more willing to talk about the End of War. Why do we have to suffer the Dead-end result of Racist, Poverty Ridden relations with society ? why should We be the scapegoats for all that is wrong ? Just this past weekend we ran a story on Amy Winehouse and her totally racist little video song; it was par for the course from what we can see of Ms. Amyturd. It s clear that her drug addicted incoherent drama binges; filmed by her golddigging husband blake - only clarify that White is the Color of Choice; for society. She can come out with a song using the simple melody of a childrens song and turn it into a racist taunt - caught on tape . She can Smoke Crack on Tape ; yet nothing is said, basically. why is that ? Robert Mugabe on the other hand, is a turd of a different bitter type. he steals food rations from Schoolkids to pass out at his political rallys; to people too hungry to resist his murderous regime. We are advocating for Pennies for Bobby Turd . We think if enough pennies are melted down and a huge copper suppository created - we just may be able to Move Him Out As The Ass of Zimbabwe US Tricky Turd George Bush and his Bilderburg buddies held their annual conference in New York recently and it appears their plan is to steadily increase the cost of petrol, food and relevant people needs; until they have created a false global emergency; large enough that they can take over total management of society. Remember Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izSUgDfw_eM We ask again, Is This the Type of World We Want to Live In ? and Leave for Our Decendants ? We think NOT - so unite with us and SAY NO To WAR Against US; The People of This Planet. we ve surveyed the landscape widely; and it s sorely clear that if you don t say no today, tomorrow there may be no way. Yes Again WE CALL FOR WAR - AGAINST WAR ! Remember Your Mother left YOU in Charge; To ACT Responsibly and Stop This Planetary Genocide. Join Us and Do It NOW.

Raids target Zimbabwe opposition party - CNN.com HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) Zimbabwean government forces Thursday began cracking down on the main opposition party, raising fears of a political crisis, according to witnesses and an opposition spokesman. Zimbabweans listen to a radio in Harare, the capital, as they await results of the country s elections.   1 of 3 more photos » The forces raided at least two hotels in the capital, including one that houses foreign journalists, a witness said. Four journalists unaccredited by the Zimbabwean government were taken away, he said. New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller confirmed that Barry Bearak, a Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent based in Johannesburg, South Africa, was taken into custody. He was apparently one of a number of Americans and other foreign nationals rounded up today, Keller said. An American consular official who visited him at the central police station reported that he was being held for violation of the journalism laws. We are making every effort to assure that he is well treated, and to secure his prompt release, Keller said. The identities of the other journalists seized in the raid were not immediately known. State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the United States is calling for the immediate release of Americans seized by Zimbabwe authorities. We are concerned about the taking into custody of several American citizens, Casey said. There is no reason for that. We want to see them released as soon as possible. State Department officials said they were bound by privacy constraints and couldn t say how many American reporters were taken. Tendai Biti, secretary-general for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, said his party s offices in another Harare hotel were also raided by Zimbabwean forces. Some of the rooms were ransacked, The Associated Press reported. Don t Miss Panel: Mugabe s party loses grip on parliament Mugabe: Liberation hero turned tyrant Blog: Change is in the air Time: How long will Mugabe hang on? There s a definite crackdown, Biti said. No one was detained in that raid, he added. The action targeted certain people including myself, Biti told the AP. It is quite clear he has unleashed a war, he said, referring to Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. The crackdown came hours after the government announced another delay in releasing some of last weekend s election results, raising fears that Mugabe is trying to come up with a plan to remain in power. Many are predicting a runoff election. Watch why a runoff is likely » In spite of this, on Wednesday the MDC declared Tsvangirai the outright winner, saying he took 50.3 percent of the almost 2.4 million votes. The state-run newspaper reported Wednesday that Mugabe and Tsvangirai will compete in a presidential runoff because neither candidate garnered more than 50 percent of the vote. Watch the claims and counterclaims » But even some in Mugabe s own party believe he should step down. A ZANU-PF member, who did not want to be named for security reasons, reported a deep schism in the party Thursday, saying some members believe Mugabe should gracefully cede power. The top guys have been given a rude awakening, said the lawmaker, adding that the party s brass is shell-shocked by the results and had not expected the apparent defeat. The lawmaker, who lost his seat to an opposition challenger, further said a presidential runoff will be a suicide mission and should be a last resort for the ruling party. Mugabe is finished, he added. We cannot win, so why go for it? he said. Once people have tasted victory, you don t take it away from them. But Zimbabwean Deputy Information Minister Bright Matonga said he did not expect Mugabe to step down. I don t see that at all, he said. And why should he? We have to go all the way. That is what the law says. According to the state-run newspaper, The Herald, the elections for parliament s lower house came down to a photo finish, with MDC taking 99 seats and ZANU-PF 97. Eleven posts in the 210-seat body went to an independent and members of a smaller opposition party. Three seats will have to be decided in a later election because the opposition candidates have died, the paper reported. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said Thursday it has postponed releasing results from elections for the Senate, parliament s upper house. The government blames the delays in announcing results on logistics, noting that four elections were held simultaneously. Matonga has said the law gives the government until Friday to release the results. A look at the candidates » Mugabe, who was prime minister before taking the presidential post in 1987, has been in power since Zimbabwe s independence from Britain 28 years ago. The election represents the toughest challenge to power he has ever faced. See photos from the country s elections » A year after the last presidential election which the MDC alleges was stolen the government charged Tsvangirai with treason. He was acquitted. The MDC accused Mugabe of trying to eliminate him as a challenger. Zimbabwe faced international sanctions after the 2002 election, including travel restrictions on Zimbabwean officials. A hero of the country s civil war against the white Rhodesian government, Mugabe became the country s first black leader in 1980. Nearly three decades later, he has consolidated his rule over all aspects of Zimbabwean life. Once revered for providing some of the best education and health care in Africa, Zimbabwe now has one of the lowest life expectancies in the world. Schooling is a luxury. Once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa, now it is difficult to get basic food supplies. Inflation has skyrocketed to more than 100,000 percent, while food production and agricultural exports have dropped drastically. Copyright 2008 BadGalsRadio ~ I-riginal 100%GalBassed RooticalTruth.

Raelians Rocket From Clones to Clitorises Raelians Rocket From Clones to Clitorises By Eliza Strickland 02.19.08 | 12:00 AM Clitoraid is an nonprofit organization set up by the Raelian Movement to help women around the world who have suffered genital mutilation. The woman on the right of the photo is wearing a clitoris costume. Photo: Tony McNicol The Raelians have championed some strange causes in the movement s 25-year history, including aliens and human clones, but now they are going to bat for a body part the clitoris. The cult s leader, Rael, whose real name is Claude Vorilhon, has become outraged by the custom of female genital cutting, the primarily African practice in which part of a girl s genitalia is sliced away. Now the Raelian Movement has resolved to build a hospital in the West African country of Burkina Faso, where women could come to have their clitorises reconstructed. Rael thought this is a crime against humanity, says Lara Terstenjak, a spokeswoman for Clitoraid, a nonprofit set up by the Raelians to sponsor genital surgeries. Female circumcision is surprisingly prevalent throughout the world, particularly in Africa, where in some communities it is performed on 98 percent of the female population, despite legal prohibition. Coming as it does from the group that claimed to have produced the first human clone, the Raelians boast that they re sponsoring clitoris reconstruction seems open to question. Yet the group has reputable doctors on its side. The Raelians have recruited Marci Bowers, who runs a thriving sex-change clinic in Trinidad, Colorado, and has been called the rock star of transgender surgery. Bowers is a post-op transsexual herself. Bowers flew to Paris last April (on her own dime) to train with Pierre Foldes, an Ob-Gyn in Paris who reportedly invented the technique of clitoris reconstruction after many years of treating women in Africa. Foldes performs about 200 of these surgeries each year. According to Terstenjak, Foldes declined to get involved directly with Clitoraid, but he agreed to perform the surgery on women sponsored by the Raelians, and to instruct other doctors in his technique. Terstenjak says Clitoraid has sponsored six women so far, including several from Burkina Faso who were flown to Paris to have the surgery done. Foldes did not return a phone call from Wired.com, but Bowers confirms that the doctor worked on the six women helped by the cult. When Bowers first started talking with the Raelians, her working theory was that they were a little bit nuts, she says. But after a long, leisurely dinner in Paris with 10 cultured and international Raelians, she declared herself charmed. They weren t anything different. It s just that they bought into this philosophy involving extraterrestrial beings on earth, she says. I don t have to buy into the whole concept to do the work. During Bowers training with Foldes, they operated on 15 women in one day. Bowers remembers one of the young women they saw on the operating table. She was about 19 years old, and she and her twin sister had both had the genital-cutting procedure when they were little girls living in Mauritania. Her twin sister had died, the woman said, because the cut was too deep, and they couldn t stop the bleeding. Bowers recalls that the woman had the most severe form of genital cutting, called infibulation, in which the clitoris and inner lips of the vulva are completely removed, and the outer lips are sewn partially shut to leave only a small hole. Surgeries to reverse this kind of genital cutting have become fairly common in Europe as African immigrants become more westernized. However, Foldes is currently the only doctor who attempts to go the extra step, not just dividing the sewn-together skin, but also constructing a new clitoris. It s not terribly invasive, Bowers says. She explains that the surgeon first removes the scar tissue, and then looks for what the cutting procedure left behind. The clitoris, Bowers says, is almost like a snail. Most of it is curled up behind the pubic bone, but there s one tip pointed out, and that s the clitoris. So you re first exposing the remaining stump of the clitoris, and then bringing it forward with some suturing. Foldes performs the surgeries for free and in addition to his regular hospital work, Bowers says, and she expects to do the same. She plans to start seeing patients at her Colorado offices, and will fly to Burkina Faso for a month of surgeries as soon as the Raelians get the hospital built. She doesn t mind donating her time to the cause, and has also donated some money to help with the hospital: This is building karma, she says. While construction of what the Raelians call the pleasure hospital has been delayed, Terstenjak insists the building will rise within the next year. The group says it has bought a piece of land in a suburb of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso s second-largest city. Here s a beautiful piece of information, Terstenjak says. There actually have been women coming out, known (genital-cutting) victims, and they want to help. They ve put themselves forward to the construction team, saying, we ve never done anything like this, but we ll carry bricks, we ll dig holes, whatever needs to be done. Terstenjak claims that more than 100 women are on a waiting list for the procedure in Burkina Faso, and that there s no requirement that these women join the Raelian Movement. However, one of the women who Clitoraid sponsored for the procedure is referred to as a guide, a term used in the Raelian hierarchy. There have been allegations that the Raelian Movement uses its doctrine of free love to attract recruits (such as this 2005 article from Wired.com), and sensual massage is reportedly a key part of their seminars. Some people say they were first attracted to the movement because they thought they would get laid, says Susan Palmer, a professor of religious studies at Montreal s Dawson College who wrote a book on the Raelians. But more than recruiting, it s a way for people within the movement to bond, she says. So could Clitoraid s effort to bring new clitorises to African women be a recruiting technique? Palmer laughs at the suggestion. That would be an extremely expensive and round-about way to do it, she says. They could just give them some food. Like the Christian missionaries they just feed people, and they flock to their churches. But that would be an old-school way of proselytizing. The Raelian Movement, as it prepares a better Earth for the extraterrestrial s return (expected before 2035), is nothing if not forward-thinking. What amazes me, Palmer says with a tone of respect, is that they are so inventive. Copyright 2008 BadGalsRadio ~ I-riginal 100%GalBassed RooticalTruth.
