Don't ever break up with this guy

The ex-girlfriend of North Korean leader Kim-Jong-un was one of a dozen people reportedly executed by a firing squad last week.
The South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reports that singer Hyon Song-wol and 11 others had been arrested on August 17 for violating North Korea's laws against pornography and was executed three days later.
The paper reported that the condemned, all members of the performing groups Unhasu Orchestra and Wangjaesan Light Music Band, were accused of making videos of themselves having sex and selling the videos, which the paper reported were available in China.
"They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on," a source told the paper. The source added that the victims' families appear to have all been sent to prison camps.

Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman, be called Chelsea

 

 Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman named Chelsea and begin hormone treatment as soon as possible, the soldier said a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for giving government secrets to WikiLeaks.

"As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible," the statement read.


Is it just me or do I suspect that this is an awesome way to get moved to the women's prison. If I had to spend the next 35 years in prison, I would much rather have a cellmate named Judy rather than Bubba.

Bradley Manning Sentencing

Nelson Mandela, who brought down apartheid, spent 27 years in jail;  but Bradley Manning, who exposed U.S. war crimes and brought about the Arab Spring, was sentenced to 35.

 For something to be a crime, harm must have been done to someone. Where is the harm ?? Is he not a whistle blower ?? He did not leak anything that needed to be classified, rather he embarrassed some powerful people. I hate to say this, but he angered the wrong people and he's not going to live long in jail--either someone will kill him in a "fight" or he'll conveniently "commit suicide". If Obama was a real President, he'd pardon this guy today but since he is behind Manning's persecution--"Not gonna Happen".

Sick People

Read this note that was left under the door of the grandmother of a 13 year old boy who suffers from autism in Canada.
It's scary that there are people out there who think this way about a poor handicapped kid.

Oh and this isn't an Internet hoax, sadly it's real:
Letter suggesting autistic boy be euthanized reported to police 

 

Egypt

 

For the life of me I don't know why our government is supporting Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. Other countries (like Israel, England, and Saudi Arabia) support the generals and we should as well.
This is what the "peaceful" and "democratic" Muslim Brotherhood did yesterday--attacked Christian churches and nuns. Of course since they are Coptic Christians and not in communion with Rome, not a peep out of the Vatican:

Islamist Mob Parades Nuns as Prisoners of war

What's even more upsetting is that it isn't just the Obama Administration. The Republicans are singing the same tune !! In fact Lindsey Graham and John McCain were just in Egypt basically backing Morsi and calling for us to cut aid off to the generals. My cynical self sadly must conclude that they are all puppets of the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about. They are backing Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere so that we can have a huge war in the Middle East and for defense contractors---"War is GREAT for business" !!! I sincerely hope that I'm wrong.
