BOOK - Northwest Half-Breed Scrip, 1885
By Gail Morin
Published by Genealogical Publishing, Baltimore, 2015
Land scrip refers to a certificate entitling the holder to obtain a certain portion of the public land either by entry or the payment of a portion of the price. This book covers awards made in the future provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and a portion of Manitoba to heads of household and minors who were born there before 1886. Mrs. Morinís faithful extracts have preserved an enormous amount of genealogical information pertaining to the thousands of qualified applications. For example, in the case of the Northwest Mťtis, we learn each individualís place and date of birth, names of parents, source of half-breed descent, occupation, spouseís name, place and date of marriage, ages of children, and quite a bit about the nature of the individualís claim.

BOOK - Manitoba Scrip. 2nd Edition [June 1875-Early 1880s]
By Gail Morin
Published by Genealogical Publishing, Baltimore, 2015
This volume refers to certificates awarded to Mťtis (half-Native American, half-European) and original white inhabitants of Manitoba and their children, as of July 15, 1870. (Most of the whites had migrated from French Canada, Scotland, or England.) The purpose of the Scrip policy, which extended over several decades, was to eliminate whatever remaining claims Canadian Native Americans might make on the land. Because of the detailed application process required for the award of scrip, Mrs. Morinís faithful extracts have preserved an enormous amount of genealogical information pertaining to the thousands of qualified applications. For example, in this volume we learn each applicantís date and place of birth, husbandís name, and names and race or national origin of parents. It is arranged alphabetically by the surname of the applicant. ISBN 9780806357270 More Information
BOOK - First Mťtis Families of Quebec, 1622-1748. Volume 1: Fifty-Six Families
By Gail Morin
Published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 2012
The term Mťtis originally referred to the offspring produced from the intermarriage of early French fur traders with Canadian Native Americans. Later, there were also Anglo Mťtis (known as ďCountrybornĒ)--children of Scottish, English, and other European fathers and indigenous mothers. The Mťtis were also formerly known as half-breeds or mixed-bloods. Today, the French and Anglo Mťtis cultures have essentially merged into a distinct group with official recognition as one of the three Aboriginal Peoples of Canada. This new work, the first in a purported six-volume series, traces the descendants of the 56 original Mťtis families for up to three generations. Richly detailed, fully sourced, and indexed, this work must be regarded as the starting point for Mťtis genealogy.

BOOK - First Mťtis Families of Quebec, 1622-1748, Volume 2: Jean Nicolet and a Nipissing Woman
By Gail Morin
Published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 2014
The first Frenchman known to have Mťtis offspring was Jean Nicolet de Belleborne. He arrived in Quebec in 1618 and was employed as a clerk and trained as an interpreter by the Company of Merchants, the fur-trading monopoly owned by French noblemen. He ran a Hudson Bay Company store and traded with the Lake Nipissing (Ontario) people for several years. His informal or country marriage to a Nipissing woman resulted in the birth in 1628 of a daughter, Madeleine or Euphrosine Nicolet. Jean Nicolet returned to the Company in Quebec in 1633 with Madeleine. Madeleine married Jean Leblanc in 1643 and Elie Dussault dit Lafleur in 1663. Both marriages resulted in generations of descendants in Canada and the United States that continue today. This second volume of the First Mťtis Families of Quebec documents their descendants up to the 20th century

BOOK - The Residential Schools at Spanish, Ontario: The Flu Epidemic of 1918-1919
Translated by William Lonc S.J.; Edited by Jacques Monet S.J.
Published by The Canadian Institute of Jesuit Studies, Toronto, 2009
More than ninety years ago, around the end of World War One, the terrible epidemic of influenza called "The Spanish Flu" spread over the world. It killed 21 million people, including about 50,000 Canadians. Here as elsewhere, it was especially vicious in attacking the young and the vigorous. Nor, certainly, did it spare the Native Residential Schools set up at Spanish Ontario. Between October 22nd, 1918 and January 19th, 1919, almost everyone on the staff and in the student body was struck down, several of the staff near death for a few days and nineteen boys and girls indeed dying of the virus. This book includes an accurate English translation of the French language records that document the distress caused to the students and staff of the school during the great flu epidemic including records of deaths. Student deaths between 1913 to 1938 from other causes are also documented.

BOOK - Catherine Tekakwitha: Her Life "Lily of the Mohawks"
By Fr. Peirre Cholenec, S.J. Her Spiritual Advisor and Biographer
Translated to English by William Lonc S.J.
Published by William Lonc, Toronto, 2002
Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, baptised as Catherine Tekakwitha and informally known as Lily of the Mohawks, is a Roman Catholic saint, who was an AlgonquinĖMohawk virgin and religious laywoman, commonly known as "Lily of the Mohawks". The story told in this book is based on a xerographic photocopy of a type-written transcript of a document... based on Fr. Cholenec's original Autograph. Thus, the story is told by an eye-witness -- who was her spiritual director -- of the events in her life from the time she arrived at the Jesuit mission just outside of Montreal, known at that time as the Sault Saint-Louis or Saint-Louis Rapids. The English translation is meant to follow the French rather closely, but with an ear to producing an easily readable story in English.

As such, they contain a wealth of detailed information about life on the island in general, and life in Wikwemikong in particular, and therefore are of potential interest to historians.

Published by William Lonc for the The Canadian Institute of Jesuit Studies, Toronto, 2001, revised 2004 (Part 1), 2007 (Part 2) (Reprinted 2013)
For many years, several Jesuit historians have been using these authentic documents, and it is now time to share them with other researchers: historians, sociologists, economists, indiologists, folklorists, etc. The university community as well as the public at large will find in these documents a veritable gold-mine of information for their scientific studies because the letters contain precious data from Canada as it was in the 1840's. The letters describe the mores of the society, its economic and material life, the cultural and spiritual values of Canadians at the time of the Union of the two Canadas: Quebec and Ontario. Ontario is the dominant venue for these letters. The authors describe their endeavors in Kingston, Toronto, Chatham, Sandwich (today's Windsor), and then among the Natives of Walpole Island, Manitoulin Island, Sault-SainteMarie, Thunder Bay, etc. The accounts are larded with uncensored episodes, reflection on the Native civilization, and fascinating descriptions, worthy to be included in Canadian anthologies. In short, these letters are documents of choice and contribute to the enrichment of our history.

Photographs came in many forms in the nineteenth century and this book assists the reader to identify each type, as this is an essential dating indicator. The booklet then addresses in great detail the other characteristics of photographs with examples to assist the reader in dating the item - the mount itself, the material printed on the back of the photograph, the composition of the photograph including the pose of people depicted and the clothes being worn by the people depicted.

By Graham Jaunay

Sooner or later, family historians will come across a major obstacle in progressing their research - old handwriting can be difficult to resolve and this booklet is designed to overcome some of these problems. The problem rests on the fact that most of us unknowingly read by identifying whole words by their shape rather than looking at individual letters. When we come across unfamiliar writing, we are forced to look at the individual letters in their context. The unexpected shapes of old letters and a multitude of shortcuts in writing results in considerable difficulties for modern readers, and this booklet provides some strategies to overcome this problem. There are a number of books on this subject, but, apart from the practical advice within, a strength of this publication lies in the number of actual examples to help the researcher identify seemingly meaningless words.

Contrary to the news reports which appeared in the media earlier, it now appears that Simbu's Osthi and Dhanush's Mayakkam Enna might not be releasing on the eve of Deepavali. The demand in getting main cinema halls is said to be the main reason. The other reason being cited is that both the stars don't want to risk their films amid stiff competition.
Suriya's 7aam Arivu, directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Udhayanidhi's Red Giant Movies, is hitting the theatres in maximum number of screens. The film also marks Shruti Haasan, the stunning-looking daughter of Kamal Haasan, as heroine in Kollywood.
Another biggie for this Deepavali is the Vijay-starrer Velayudham which is directed by 'Jayam' Raja and stars Genelia and Hansika as his heroines. Mayakkam Enna has been directed by Dhanush's elder brother and director Selvaraghavan while Dharani, who has made films like Ghilli, Dhool and Dil, has directed Simbu's Osthi. As most of the 'leading' cinema halls have been allotted to 7am Arivu and Velayudham, Simbu and Dhanush have reportedly decided to postpone the release of their films beyond Deepavali.
The Hindi film Ra. One, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles and has superstar Rajinikanth in a 'special appearance', has also got many number of screens for its theatrical release.

Cooperative Sensing Reliability Improvement Algorithm for Primary Radio Signal Detection in Cognitive Radio Environment
This paper addresses issues on cooperative spectrum sensing reliability improvement for primary radio signal detection in a cognitive radio environment. In particular, the paper extends previous studies on spectrum sensing time algorithm for predicting ideal sensing duration for detecting a primary radio signal in a cognitive radio environment. The extended algorithm was developed using a computational model in the MATLAB environment. The authors use the extended algorithm to fashion how cooperative gain can be improved without incurring a cooperative overhead.

On May 13, 2003, at least 73 people boarded a tightly sealed trailer truck in what they hoped to be the final leg of an intricate journey toward their dream of living and working within the United States. The trailer they were riding was to take them from Harlingen, Texas, to Houston. The trailer never made it past Victoria, Texas, and became the site of the single worst immigrant tragedy in United States history.
With the passion and insightful analysis that characterizes his work, Emmy Award-winning journalist Jorge Ramos recounts the events of this chilling tragedy as he tries to understand how something so inhuman can happen in the 21st century.
This audiobook is also available in Spanish as Morir en el Intento.

Construction managers from Ramboll coordinate the trade contractors' activities by means of experience, knowledge and clarity of communication. This leads to successful construction projects that meet all the time, quality and cost criteria on target.
To the owner, it is vital that construction projects proceed smoothly and according to plan when ground has been broken. As one of Scandinavia's largest construction management providers, Ramboll can ensure seamless coordination between the various construction partners and thus turn preliminary ideas and drawings into finalized and functional buildings.
The strongest asset in leading and influencing a construction process, for any successful construction manager, is the ability to communicate and navigate well. Ramboll's specialists communicate clearly, accurately and continuously to the many parties affected by the construction management's decisions. In addition, they undertake responsibility for communication on behalf of the owner, naturally, while fulfilling all the obligations that come with this responsibility.
Ramboll's construction managers handle the daily challenges that arise on a construction site with many trades and professions involved. This is done with a visible presence on the site as well as a wide range of trade, building, construction site and coordination meetings. Ramboll has, in addition, introduced a project coordinator for major construction projects. The project coordinator is part of the construction management, but exempted from the administrative part. This way, he or she can use 95% of his or her time on the construction site ensuring that the agreed work processes are respected, that appointed areas are accessible as well as handling coordination in relation to sudden, unexpected challenges. In short, the project coordinator must be the oil that keeps the machinery in motion. The permanent presence on site also sends out a positive signal to the builders as well as to other stakeholders. It has been shown by experience to nip many conflicts in the bud.
Costs of the different trades are continuously handled at finance meetings with reporting of progression, negotiation of demands, control of documentation, and – if necessary – future estimates.
We are continuously optimizing our processes. Currently, we are using iPads with programs such as Projektweb, Byggeweb, Dalux og Ajour at the site. This secures the digital communication and the documentation of changes, technical inquiries, project notes, agreements and shortcomings.

Activist investor Bill Ackman says he's surprised that Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. has nominated him for a seat on the board of directors because he hasn't held any conversations with the company for months.
The chief executive officer of Pershing Square Capital Management LP learned about the nomination on Thursday after CP said in its proxy circular that it recommended he be one of 16 CP directors.
The proxy battle is headed for a showdown at CP's annual meeting in Calgary on May 17, when shareholders will be asked to choose from competing slates of directors.
Mr. Ackman said in an interview that the fact CP is offering its biggest shareholder only one seat when he is soliciting votes for six new directors is "further evidence" of the board's indifference to investor demands. "It is clear the board does not understand the degree of change that is necessary," he said.
CP maintains it has cleared the way for him jump aboard. A CP spokesman said Thursday key terms and conditions originally attached to having Mr. Ackman join the board are no longer a factor, although he declined to elaborate.
Mr. Ackman had been invited in December to join CP's board. But talks broke off after he resisted some of the terms and began campaigning publicly to replace chief executive officer Fred Green with Hunter Harrison, the retired former CEO of Canadian National Railway Co.
When CP offered Mr. Ackman a seat in December, the position was conditional on him signing a standstill agreement that would have effectively prohibited him from launching a proxy battle to replace several of the directors. The agreement also would have restricted his ability to buy a significantly larger stake or to take any actions, notably the proxy contest, that opposed CP's board.
Pershing Square began buying the railway's shares last September. The hedge fund publicly disclosed in October that it had invested in CP. The New York-based firm now holds a 14.2-per-cent stake in CP, making it the largest investor in the Calgary-based company.
After initial meetings last fall, "an invitation was extended to Mr. William A. Ackman, chief executive officer of Pershing Square, to join the board so that a constructive board-level dialogue based on all the relevant facts and information could take place," CP chairman John Cleghorn wrote in a letter Thursday to the railway's shareholders. "The invitation to Mr. Ackman remains open and, in that regard, Canadian Pacific has included him as one of the nominee directors that we recommend to Canadian Pacific shareholders."
Pershing Square is proposing to elect a minority slate of alternative directors at CP: Mr. Ackman and his Pershing Square colleague Paul Hilal; corporate restructuring specialist Gary Colter; former Onex Corp. executive Anthony Melman; Just Energy Group Inc. executive chairwoman Rebecca MacDonald; and businessman Paul Haggis, a former head of Alberta Treasury Branches.
Pershing Square is urging shareholders to vote with a blue proxy to back its campaign for management change, while CP wants investors to cast white ballots to support the railway's current board, which includes Mr. Green.
Mr. Green had $5.3-million in compensation last year, including a salary of nearly $986,000 but no bonus, according to CP's management proxy circular. His total pay packet fell 20 per cent from $6.6-million collected in 2010, when he had a salary of $926,250. Mr. Green's remuneration climbed 57 per cent in 2010 from $4.2-million in 2009.
The freight carrier posted a $570-million profit last year, compared with $651-million in 2010 and $550-million in 2009.
Mr. Ackman argues that CP's management needs a shakeup to turn around the underperforming railway.Report Typo/Error

Neon said on a scale of 1-5 he would rate his overall experience a 9. There was no paint work. The appearance of the place of business was good. He sure would recommend the business to others. The location of the business was very close, and it was very convenient for him. He did not file a claim through his insurance company.

Welcome to the website for the UAEU's University College! Here you will find information about all of the University College units, but I want to emphasize that all units of the University College work together as a system to support students in attaining the five essential capabilities of UAEU graduates:
(1) Arabic language proficiency (native and non-native speakers),
(2) English language proficiency,
(3) numerical literacy,
(4) critical thinking and independent scholarly enquiry, and
(5) skills and values transferable to employment,
further study and informed and engaged citizenship.Of course, students will find that they will develop these capabilities in their major programs as well, but most students will find that their university exposure to these educational goals occurs first in their Foundation years and then the development of these capabilities is reinforced throughout their undergraduate years in the General Education program.
The University College is committed to assisting new students with the successful transition to UAEU; enhancing student engagement; integrating academic and co-curricular programs; connecting students with available resources; and fostering both independent and lifelong learning.
The University College is comprised of three units that include; the University Foundation Program, the Student Academic Success Program, and the General Education Program. Most new students will take courses in the Foundation Program and visit the Student Academic Success Program(SASP) laboratories and advisors frequently. They will continue to use the support provided by SASP for tutoring help and academic advising, throughout their years at the University. When they begin their Bachelor's program work they will be studying major and minor program subjects, but they will also start to take their General Education coursework. Sometimes the major and minor programs are called "depth" subjects and General Education are "breadth" subjects, assuring that the whole person is educated. The University College works hand-in-glove with the other colleges and the Student Affairs division to provide the best undergraduate experience for our students that we possibly can.

Sara Loren replaced by Sonal Chauhan at Lakme Fashion Week
Actress Sara Loren was supposed to be a showstopper at Purvi Doshi's show at the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week, but she was apparently replaced by Sonal Chauhan and informed about the same at the last minute.
Sara Loren and Sonal Chauhan
If a source close to the actress is to be believed, the organisers wanted a more known face on the ramp and this is why Sonal Chauhan was roped in instead. "Sara Loren was asked to be the showstopper for designer Purvi Doshi's show on Thursday last week, but on Wednesday night, she was told that she needn't come in for the show. Turns out that Sonal Chauhan had been finalised as the showstopper," says a source.
The source adds that the show's organisers were apparently not keen on Sara as the showstopper. "They wanted a more known face to be on the ramp and this is why they were approaching other actresses. Then Sonal agreed to be the showstopper but she did not want any other actress to walk along with her. So Sara was dropped from the show," she added.
Sara's spokesperson confirmed that the actress was informed about the replacement at the last minute.

Mummified corpse found five years later by schoolboy exploring abandoned house
An "adventurous" schoolboy who was exploring an abandoned house in the US state of Ohio was given a shock when he discovered the mummified corpse of a man inside a closet.
The body had been hanging in the cupboard for five years, and was that of 53-year-old Edward Brunton, the authorities of Dayton, Ohio, suspect.
As the man was hanged by the neck, they believe his death was a suicide. Brunton bought the house in 2009. The coroner who dealt with the body believes he died shortly afterwards.
The authorities added that Brunton had a brother who lives nearby, but the man had not seen him since 2008.
Michelle McGrath, the boy's mother, said her 12-year-old son is adventurous.
"My son came home and said he had gone into an abandoned house and he found a body. And I said, 'Wait, what?" his mother Michelle McGrath told WHIO-TV reporters.
Harshbarger, the Montgomery County coroner, told CNN the find was "very unique", as it is rare to find 5-year-old mummified remains.
Most neighbours said they had not seen the man who owned the house, which had such an overgrown lawn that neighbours called in the authorities to maintain it.
"I didn't realize there was anybody in the house," Alberta Ballard, who had lived in the adjacent house for 40-years and reported Bruton's garden to the authorities, told reporters.
Anyone who is struggling to cope can contact Samaritans on 116 123.

I am going to try to keep up on this a bit more.
This weekend sucked. I had a yeast infection, still do, and we couldn't DTD at all.
I haven't O'd so I am hoping this YI doesn't screw our chances this month.
Plus I have had this pounding headache for like a week or two now. Idk what it is or if its even something that needs to be checked out but its just a PIMB.
I hope I O in the next couple of days. I really want this to be our cycle. The idea of making it to two years before we conceive is seriously looming over my head since we just reached the year. I don't know how I will cope at that point.
TTC my first! - 29th cycle.

The strangest thing about him is that he is not too partial to nests. At the first opportunity he bails out which is probably what got him in trouble in the first place. He likes to sit on my desk while I work. When he gets tired I create a secure nest for him but it lasts five minutes and then he's off across the desk like a drunken sailor. A common idiosyncrasy of the thrush is to dash for cover, almost parallel to the ground with neck thrust foreward like an arrow. Little Bug instinctively does this though he loses balance along the way.
Eventually he finds a spot to his liking (usually on a pile of scrap metal) where he will settle for a while squawking for food whether he's hungry or not.
At 5.00 pm almost to the second he switches off for the night. Last night he learned to put his head under his wing. I was so proud of him! My daughter hates to think what I'm going to be like with grandchildren. As it is I already have a Picasa file full of photographs..
One can't help loving him . He's a brave little clown who is keeping me on the hop all day long but I feel so privileged spending this short while with him. He's growing fast and it won't be long before we'll have to make decisions about the next leg of his journey.

I've been in an ebullient mood for days and I put this down to our early morning walks, prompted by Julia Cameron, author of Vein of Gold. I've joined the Vein of Gold Group over at CCS and one of the daily practices is walking. It has been hard to pull myself out of bed so early in the morning but definitely worth the effort!
Ben and I realized what it was simultaneously but I was quick, scooping the baby thrush out of harms way and holding it close while we searched for a nest. Thrush was quite a distance from any trees and he was definitely too young to fly . We couldn't leave him there or even put him in a tree to wait for the mum (who was nowhere to be seen) because he kept bailing off the branch and in any case it was highly probable that the mongoose would sniff him out. After waiting a while Hubby decided that we should take him home because he wouldn't survive out in the open ....what with the mongoose, cars and dogs about....... So home we went!
I wish I had the equipment to record and share what I can hear right this moment. Bug is chrrrpping at the top of his lungs just to let me know he hasn't eaten in the last half hour.

Discourse by Caroline Bartlett (born Zambia, living in UK)
"My recent work has focused on the act of collecting and archiving, and on the overwriting of histories. As a result, processes of erasing and reworking, folding and unfolding, have become central to both ideas and working methods, permeating responses to other stimuli - such as recent visits to Japan and Australia. A preoccupation with the tactile and its connections with memory continue to be an ongoing concern while the use of print as a means of marking cloth, and a continuing involvement in stitch and manipulation techniques provide me with a working vocabulary and the means by which I process and articulate ideas." - Caroline Bartlett

Puppies saved by farmer on river bank ready for life of love with new families
They were left for dead beside a river, but these eight adorable puppies have had the phones of a Co Down animal sanctuary ringing off the hook.
The tiny pooches - which are believed to be Terrier/Collie crossbreeds - were discovered yelping for help in a cardboard box near Omagh by a farmer out feeding his sheep last month.
They were transferred by a relay of volunteer drivers across Northern Ireland to Assisi Animal Sanctuary just outside Newtownards where they were treated by a vet and each cared for by a foster parent for several weeks.
There were hundreds of inquiries about the litter when the Belfast Telegraph featured them last month with many animal lovers desperate to rehome them.
Even a few weeks of a wait did not put their many fans off and all eight were booked by delighted new owners within 24 hours of being cleared for adoption on Sunday.
They are expected to be making their way to their new homes over the next two weeks.
Assisi manager Heather Weatherup said the puppies and their sad story had sparked a huge amount of interest, but emphasised that the sanctuary is currently home to other puppies that also need loving homes.
When the Omagh puppies were originally rescued, Ms Weatherup said rescuers knew immediately from the smell that they had been in a home and were well cared-for by somebody.
It is not known exactly how they came to be abandoned in a box beside the river, but she believes someone had intended to drown them and had second thoughts.
"We think somebody has gone there to drown them, then when they got there they couldn't do it," she said. "We were on standby in case they were in poor condition but we could tell they had been fed well before."
The puppies are currently still in their foster homes and did not have to spend any time in the sanctuary.
Ms Weatherup said the sanctuary is receiving scores of pups by the day from various council pounds across Northern Ireland.
These include the 14-week-old Jack Russell pups Chuck and Norris.
They were both booked for rehoming on Sunday, but the sanctuary is still seeking to rehome other pups, as well as older dogs, kittens, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs.
Assisi Animal Sanctuary is located at 1 Old Bangor Road, Conlig, Co Down. Anyone wishing to rehome an animal should visit the centre, seek advice from staff and fill in an application form.

"Outrageous. Unthinkable. Cruel."
The flag of the South was not always a symbol of racism. That mental mantra was a product of the mainstream Marxist media; a ploy to displace a wholesome symbol of heritage with an icon of hate. In short, the flag is considered racist because the media convinced us through incessant mind manipulation.
What the media did to the Confederate flag, it is doing to the American flag.
The syllogistic strategy is simple:
a - Embed the mindset that racism is the ultimate evil.
b - Associate [fill in the blank] with racism.
c. [Fill in the blank] is hated as ultimately evil.
That is why referring to a white person as a racist is the ultimate pejorative; a disgusting act of hatred.
In time, all symbols of Western culture -- including flags, statues, place names, icons, etc. -- will be removed.
We see the displacement working harmoniously in the United States, South Africa, and Europe. It is a component of genocide; the willful and intentional destruction of Western culture; white people in particular.
How so?
Consider this quote from Raphael Lemkin, the person who coined the term "genocide" in 1943:
Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.That is, genocide is not merely the slaughter of humans belonging to a specific ethnic group or race. Rather, genocide was understood by the man who originated the term, as various actions targeting the "social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence" of particular groups.
Take note that multiculturalism boasts of inclusion, but refuses to include tradition Southern culture in its pantheon of people groups. Cultural Marxism stigmatizes white people as racist and exclusively associates them with human ailments such as slavery.
The media's recent brain-ingraining coverage of the church massacre in Charleston is an act of genocide intended to mischaracterize white Americans as uniquely racist. The media's refusal to provide equal wall-to-wall coverage of rampant black-on-white crime is a part of its genocidal agenda.
Read the article posted by CNN.
As you read be consciously aware that your mind is being exposed to white genocide.
In short, the effort to remove the Confederate flag is not an effort opposing racism. Rather, the effort itself is anti-white racism.
Please report typos...
Listen as Rev. TD Jakes speaks to the importance of symbols and, as you listen, consider the Confederate flag is symbol and its destruction is an act of hate and white genocide.
