New: CIA Agent Whistleblower Risks All To Expose The Shadow Government

Pastor Osteen shuts the door of his 16,800 seat church amid flooding crisis in #HoustonFlood

Televangelist Joel Osteen cancelled services at his Houston megachurch Sunday and has yet to reopen its doors — despite the fact that thousands of flooded-out residents are desperately seeking shelter.

The perpetually smiling pastor told followers on Twitter on Monday to lean on their faith.

“Jesus promises us peace that passes understanding,” he wrote. “That’s peace when it doesn’t make sense.”

But Osteen’s comforting words didn’t sit well with critics, who want to know why the doors to his 16,800-seat arena at his Lakewood Church near downtown Houston are closed.

“You have taken so much money away from your people to live like a king,” entertainment publicist Danny Deraney blasted. “It’s the least you could do.”

Washington DC-based writer Charles Clymer tweeted pictures of Lakewood Church, which did not appear to be damaged by floods.

Houston's @indivisible_usa is acquainted with @JoelOsteen's Lakewood Church. They took these pics about an hour ago w/ commentary.

MF DOOM & JAY ELECTRONICA – TRUE LIGHTYEARS

Here’s a weekly thank you to Adult Swim for helping bring DOOM back to life. They’re planning on releasing a new song from the masked rap villain each week until November 13th and this is week 2 of 15. Not only did we get new DOOM but this new track comes along with a verse from another recluse, Jay Electronica.

To throw a curveball your way, this is actually a KMD song, KMD being DOOM‘s first group, before he turned into an evil supervillain. KMDwas composed of a than Zev Love X (he’s now DOOM), his brother Subroc and to a lesser extent Onyx The Birthstone Kid. There’s a lot of story to tell but to keep it brief, the group was DOOM’s first experience in the music industry and it ended harshly to say the least. His brother Subroc was actually killed crossing a street and unlike Wikipedia says, it wasn’t the Long Island Expressway. He was killed crossing 878, a road that’s literally right down the road from me. Their story is close to my heart because this all happened in my neighborhood, around where I grew up, even though their KMD beginnings all ended before I was even born. And on that same week that Subroc was killed mind you, KMD was dropped from Elektra records. That’s what sent DOOM into a dark place only to later emerge as MF DOOM.

“True Lightyears” doesn’t feature an unreleased Subroc verse or anything but it is being released as a KMD song. Why exactly I haven’t been able to pick apart yet. DOOM will be putting out a new KMD album Crack In Time in the future and I’m very interested to hear what’s in store there.

Betty Shelby’s New Job Is Why Cops Won’t Stop Killing Black People

Sometimes, being black is like living inside a terrible movie where the world is so racist that it’s damn near impossible to believe. For example, imagine being a movie producer and I came to you to pitch this idea:

OK, there’s a woman cop named Betty Shelby. One day, while on duty, Shelby kills an unarmed black man named Terence Crutcher while he is walking away from her with his hands in the air. It is caught on two different cameras.

In the second act, our antagonist goes on a news show like ... oh, let’s say 60 Minutes. She damn near admits to the crime. She tells the interviewer, “If I wait to find out if he had a gun or not, I could very well be dead. ... There’s something that we [police] always say: ‘I’d rather be tried by 12 than carried by six.’” Then her lawyers float the idea that Crutcher was a criminal, calling him a “certified gang member.”

The trial happens at the beginning of the third act, and even with video evidence, even with her statements, even though her only defense is that she thought Crutcher might have been reaching for a weapon that didn’t exist through a window that was closed—she gets acquitted! The police department tells her she can keep working in a cushy desk job, but she says, “Naaah, I’m good. I want a job where I can be on the street to possibly kill more unarmed black men,” so she resigns. Then, in the last scene, she walks into the sunset ... no, even better, she gets a job as a sheriff’s officer, with a gun and everything. She lives happily ever after. Orchestra music plays. Fade to black. Credits roll. 

You’d kick me out of your office. You’d tell me it was too “on the nose” and didn’t have enough nuance. “Sure, the world is racist,” you’d say. “But not that racist.” You’d think no one would go see that movie. “It’s too unbelievable,” you’d say.

Betty Shelby, the former Tulsa, Okla., police officer acquitted of killing Terence Crutcher in cold blood—even though there are two videos that show her killing Crutcher in cold blood—has a brand-new job as a reserve deputy with the Rogers County (Okla.) Sheriff’s Office, according to several sources, including the Tulsa World.

Shelby was sworn in by the RCSO during a live press conference Thursday morning surrounded by Sheriff Scott Walton, county officials and well-wishers. The county doesn’t usually hold press conferences for swearing-in ceremonies, but because of the high profile of Shelby’s case and Walton’s vociferous support of her during her trial, Rogers County apparently thought it necessary to flaunt the fact that it was hiring a cold-blooded killer, because ... fuck Terence Crutcher.

During Shelby’s terrible ordeal, in which she had to endure months of freedom, getting paid without actually working and not being dead, Walton posted at least three letters on the RCSO Facebook page offering support and slamming Shelby’s critics, calling her a “sacrificial lamb.”

---

This is why Crutcher is dead. This is why Mike Brown is dead. This is why Tamir Rice is dead. This is why John Crawford is dead. It is not just because of the juries who acquit the thieves who rob the world of black lives. It is not simply because of the apathy of men and women in blue uniforms toward the black citizens they are sworn to protect and serve. It is because they know they will never suffer any repercussions for cold-blooded murder under the authority of the law.

Not only are they never punished; they also prosper. And they prosper so that they can do it again.

Take Timothy Loehmann, for instance. Loehmann worked as a police officer in Independence, Ohio. His supervisor there recommended his termination for lying, insubordination and being unable to perform his duties. Instead of being fired for being a terrible police officer, he was allowed to resign so that he could get another job as a cop, paving the way for him to shoot 12-year-old Tamir Rice as the youngster played in a Cleveland park in 2014. Even though Loehmann shot Tamir two seconds after he spotted the kid playing in a park, Loehmann never faced charges and kept working for the Cleveland Police Department until May 30, 2017.

New York City Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo had been accused of police violations and had been sued three times for falsely arresting black men before he murdered stopped Eric Garner from breathing.

The police officers in Jennings, Mo., were so notoriously racist, the department eventually had to fire every officer on the force and bring in new officers. Most of the officers kept working. One of those officers—Darren Wilson—landed a better-paying job in Ferguson, Mo., and patrolled the streets there until he shot Mike Brown six times on Aug. 9, 2014.

“But she was acquitted,” some people will say of Betty Shelby. “In America, you are innocent until proven guilty. You can’t persecute her if she isn’t guilty of a crime.”

“Really?” said the long-dead corpses of Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Mike Brown and Terence Crutcher.

Citizens Meet With Rep Lou Correa Staff: REMOVE the Statue of Liberty In HIJAB

Rep. J. Luis Correa (D-CA) has come under fire for a painting hanging in his California office that shows the Statue of Liberty wearing a hijab, a head covering often worn by Muslim women.

Local activist group We the People Rising has attacked the painting - which was created by a high school student as part of the Congressional Art Competition - as an unpatriotic violation of the separation of church and state.

Mike McGetrick, an activist with the group, called the painting "perplexing" and "disturbing" in a letter to Correa asking him to take it down, the Washington Post reported.

Minister Farrakhan’s Message to The UK Reparations What Was Owed (Uncensored Message)

On Friday, August 4, 2017, the Council of Lambeth in London issued a permit to the "African International Day of Action 2017" who were commemorating their annual celebration on Saturday, August 5, 2017, which denied the sponsors and their co-sponsor the Nation of Islam, the right to Broadcast a pre-recorded message from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.  The event planners were told initially that the unconstitutional requirements would be removed, but when the permit was issued the "special requirements" denying the right to broadcast the message was still included. Thus we are posting the message of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan that would have been broadcasted to the participants of this event.
