The Cash Fever!

Back up again and I am guessing Americans will shelve a little bit of money for a chance at being a billionaire.

It's happened again! The lottery is back up again.

The Multi-State Lottery Association is happy to announce that the Mega Millions jackpot is over half a billion. The $1 game is played on Tuesday and Fridays.

The matrix is 1:75 with the Mega Ball 1:15. Out of 75 numbers and 15 Mega Balls, you can become an instant millionaire (or billionaire).

You can also have an opportunity to make the amount bigger if you chose the Multiplier. The Multiplier can be an "X" amount ball you can win up to 5 times the amount for a ticket if you select the Multiplier option.

A Mega Million matrix chart (courtesy of the Oklahoma Lottery Commission).

I won't tell you what the current jackpot is. It will go up without notice and based on ticket sales, it will probably reach $1 billion by draw time. It will bring attention to stores where lines are long, the purchase of ticket sales could be over $500 and people predicting what they'll do with that amount of money.

Check it, if you are playing remember the rules of the game. You must be 18 years old or older to play in the state that offer lottery games. Some states may require you to be 21 years old or older.

You are responsible for your Multi-State Lottery Game purchase. Mega Millions, Powerball and MUSL games cannot be canceled. So if the cashier or you make a mistake in the purchase, you are responsible for paying for it.

You must write your name on the back of the lottery game. I always recommend you take a picture of the ticket(s) purchased. If you happen to win the ticket, you can go to the regional lottery commission to acknowledge that you're in possession of the winning ticket. The state lottery commission can determine where you purchased your ticket. The lottery retailer identification number is printed on any ticket sold at a participating location.

If you lose your ticket at least you have evidence in case a thief would cash in your winnings. Some states classify a stolen ticket as a felony grand theft that could be punishable up to no less than 10 years.

If you purchase a ticket in a neighboring state, you must return to the state you purchased the ticket.

Example: I went into an Ohio retailer to purchase a Mega Millions ticket and headed home. I found out that I won $500 dollars. I went into my local gas station in Kansas to cash my ticket and the clerk said that he can't do it because it's not the Kansas Lottery approved ticket. Now I have to either mail the ticket or head back to Ohio to claim my prize.

If you win the Mega Millions, make sure you have a clear head. The rush will get you. This will change your life. You can be rich in one minute, poor in less than 10 years. You must confirm that you have the ticket by going to your state lottery's website or the official Mega Millions website.

You can also get a smart app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.  Your state's lottery offers a way to beat the long lines. You can plug your numbers on the app and get the code to print the game through either a terminal or a vending machine.

It also gives you options on how to check a winning ticket.

Cancel your social media and limit your phone and email intakes. Don't post on Facebook you hit the lottery because it's a giveaway for a person to find your location and rob you of your properties.

In some states you can be anonymous when claiming a huge prize.

You must also hire a qualified lottery attorney who specializes in handling large sums, will in testament, power of attorney and financial handling of assets.

Do not get eager to spend on stupid trends or expensive items. Use the winnings to pay off debts, child support, spousal support, college loans, car loans, home loans, apartment bills, credit cards, and fines issued by a state. Keep your own savings in tact just in case you might lose a majority of your winnings due to a debt.

Understand that the lottery will change you. You will become more cautious about the people around you. You might win new friends or requests for marriage (if you're single).

Have fun and play responsibly. If you have a gambling problem, there are agencies sponsored by the state's lottery commission that could help you find ways to curb the need to win!

Gretchen Carlson: Fox News Is Not Only "Sexist" But It Is GOP Propaganda!

Gretchen Carlson sues the Fox.

Looks like Gretchen Carlson is no longer on the right leaning network. Fox News let her go over the past two weeks. It seems to be some bad blood on her way out.

Carlson filed a federal lawsuit against Fox News and FOX Entertainment CEO Roger Ailes alleging wrongful termination, hostile work environment and sexual harassment.

The news is a bombshell. After all, the Fox News Channel is obsessed with Bill Clinton's alleged affairs and it's no surprise that Roger Ailes has a thing for blonde women.

Jon Stewart called it right. Carlson was playing dumb to keep her job.

Carlson who was the host of The Real Story at 2pm was absent for the last few weeks and it started to grab the attention of the junk food media. I mean she held that spot for two years after leaving the couch.

She was the co-host of Fox & Friends from 2006 to 2013 with those two pinheads Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. She got the gig after E.D. Hill was booted off the couch. Carlson was soon replaced with Elisabeth Hasselbeck who took over in 2013 and left the network in 2015.

Ainsley Earhardt is the current blonde on the couch.

In the lawsuit, Carlson says that her 11 years on the network were miserable. She was getting condescending treatment from Ailes after she complained about the antics behind the camera.

She says that Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade just couldn't keep their mouths closed when they saw a female anchor walking around in a tight mini skirt. They basically were treating female guests and co-hosts like sluts.

Ailes basically shrugged it off and offered a night on him. She said that Ailes wanted to have a sexaul relationship with her after she complained about them pinheads.

I've noticed this sometime ago when I did have cable. Doocy did act like an ass around Carlson.

In the lawsuit, she said that Doocy engaged in a "pattern and practice of severe and pervasive sexual harassment" that included "mocking her during commercial breaks, shunning off air, refusing to engage with her on air, belittling her contributions to the show."

Damn, it's getting ugly over at The Avenue of Americas.

It might also be noted that Alisyn Camerota left the network to join CNN. It might also be noted that Elisabeth Hasselbeck said that she rather spend time with her family. Did they feel some type of way too?

Wondering how Megyn Kelly got her primetime gig?

Did she have to do something to get something?

Oh, the gossip around the tree is Roger Ailes. It was said that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is sitting on a bombshell story about Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly. He bailed on Fox News during his feud with Kelly. Trump had talked to Ailes and Rupert Murdoch in the past and they seem to be making nice for the time being.

It's also noted that Ed Henry is probably off Fox News too. He was caught in his own sexual harassment scandal. Henry was dogging on Hillary Clinton about them goddamn emails.

Fox is running this narrative that Hillary Clinton got away with murder.....by not being indicted on misuse of emails. Republicans have now called for investigations into the FBI and their handling of the case.

What Happened To Alton Sterling?

The junk food media is covering the tragic police shooting of Alton Sterling.

BE WARNED THIS CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES

How long will it take before conservatives start savaging a man who was fatally bucked by police?

Too late, the conservatives are trying to say that he was a "no good thug" already.

Will the junk food media mention the victim's previous run ins with the law to justify the shooting?

Too late, they already said that he has a criminal history.

Will the video evidence show gross negligence by the officers or self defense?

There's not evidence to indict the officers. A grand jury has decided to not indict the officers involved in this shooting. That's what the law and junk food media says.

When will we hear bemoaning by conservatives about Chicago's gun violence or President Obama's thoughts on these incidents?

Of course, concern trolls will talk about the 2,000th victim of gun violence in Chicago. They won't mention the name of the victim but they'll complain about how Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama rush to judgement or fail to mention Black on whatever crime. They will say that the rhetoric from Obama and BLM is anti-cop, anti-white, etc.

Black Lives Matter doesn't ignore intraracial gun violence. The junk food media doesn't cover this because it doesn't fit in the narrative of watching the protester scream "Fuck The Police" on camera.

The group is determined to get police reform. They are devoted to ending the domestic terrorism of gangs.

The deadly police shooting of Alton Sterling has become a national outrage. Me and S. Baldwin are taking notice to the situation in the city of Baton Rouge.

Caught on film.

A 37-year old father of five was shot and killed after police responded to a disturbance call at a local store. He was selling CDs and DVDs outside the store.

Allegedly he pulled a gun on a person. Okay here's where the story got disturbing. In the video you going to see from an eyewitness is Alton on the ground and police yelling at him. Then the moment you hear "gun" from the officer and then the popping sounds. The eyewitness drops the phone and starts crying.

They shot him at point blank range. He was shot five times and the chest and neck.



The two officers who shot Sterling were placed in the freezer. We don't have their names yet or the times spent on the beat yet.

Here's what pisses me off?

The conservatives start going into his social media to find "incriminating" evidence to say that his death was justified.

Charles Johnson, the infamous internet troll who created GotNews already trying to unearth Alton's social media.

Social media gave their say to this.

There really is no need to March. It should be obvious it doesn't work. The next step is obvious. #AltonSterling pic.twitter.com/hh9fGQ5QMT

The officers body camera 'fell off' apparently. Now we're lucky we seen that video cause of the camera man #altonsterling

— Tahmina (@topshelfmidget) July 6, 2016

The Raw Story catches CNN running the mugshot of Alton to give the perception of a justifiable police shooting.



It's unfortunate. We already know what's going to happen. I can bet you that they'll walk.

Regardless of the situation being caught on video, the evidence will not go to a grand jury. The grand jury will say that the victim's history in the iron college is enough to say that his life

The conservatives will complain about the junk food media giving attention to this situation. Racial agitators like Charles Johnson, Colin Flaherty, Matt Drudge, Softball Hannity, and Old Fart Rush Limbaugh will find some way it about Black America or the president.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Alton Sterling.

Conservative Outrage Over No Indictment!

Clinton is not indicted.

In an alternative universe, Hillary Clinton would be indicted for mishandling classified information.

There would be calls for her to step down and the Democrats have to scramble for a candidate who could be capable of winning against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Well in a perfect world, conservatives would be overjoyed with happiness knowing their sworn enemy is finally facing a criminal charge which could put her in federal time out.

Well in the real world, it's not happening and we can thank that FBI director James Comey for this.

"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," said Comey.

Comey wrapped up his investigation saying that despite Clinton and her aides grossly misusing federal and top secret information, the act wasn't intentional and there's no need to go on with an indictment.

Bigger fish to fry. FBI director James Comey determined that Hillary Clinton didn't commit any crime.

The misconduct of emails isn't really a top priority for the FBI. It's just not worth even bringing to a federal prosecutor.

Conservatives of course are outraged over the decision. Once again getting their information from the bubble of misinformation, the right isn't capable of understanding how a Republican appointed lawman could betray their cause.

There were 113 emails on Clinton's servers with information classified.

Clinton was "extremely careless" in handling very sensitive, highly classified information.

Now conservative agitators are bemoaning about how the Obama administration is corrupt and they gave Clinton a pass. Despite all their hopes of a criminal indictment, they fell flat on their face again with it.

Once again, if Hillary Clinton does become the President of the United States, I will make it my mission to make conservatives tune out Softball Hannity and The Drudge Report.

Again, I seriously believe that Softball Hannity and Matt Drudge hope for a Clinton victory. They need her to keep the profit rage ongoing. They need to rile up their audience.

Clinton continues on.

Now the odds of Hillary Clinton being the President of the United States is 65%.

When Pigs Squeal!

Iowa's Joni Ernst is in the running.

Freshman senator Joni Ernst of Iowa is being vetted by the Donald Trump presidential campaign.

The senator along with freshman senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas are in the running of being Trump's running mate.

Ernst went to Fox News to say that she's had a good conversation.

"I will continue to share my insights with Donald about the need to strengthen our economy, keep our nation safe, and ensure America is always a strong stabilizing force around the globe."

The Iowa senator who did a campaign video about castrating hogs is seriously being vetted. She hasn't accomplished much in one year of being a senator. She's kept a low key profile. I was expecting her to be a bombastic agitator like failed presidential candidates  Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

Ernst is a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel and veteran of the Iraq war.

Ernst previously endorsed Rubio for president.

Trump is also heading to Indiana. He's talking with Governor Mike Pence. Pence who endorsed Cruz for president is making peace with Trump. Pence who is facing a reelection bid is trying to score some political points by embracing the Republicans presumptive nominee he distanced himself from earlier.

Trump needs a brain to move his body.

Pence faced a backlash after he passed a religious freedom bill that could discriminate against LGBT residents of Indiana. He looks the other way when Indiana mosques are firebombed and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) is being slandered by agitators for being a "ISIS-sympathizer".

Spokesman Marc Lotter said that Ernst and Pence will do all they can to help Trump win.

Also on the Trump veepstakes is Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker who is a washed up politico. Gingrich ran for president in 2012. Chris Christie, the failed 2016 presidential candidate is in the running.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) are also on the list of potential Trump veeps.

One insurgent who isn't showing up for the Republican National Convention is Utah's Mia Love.

Love who is the first woman and African American elected in Utah. She said that she's going to focus on the residents of Utah and skip the convention. Love endorsed Rubio for president.

Thunder Clapped: Kevin Durant Leaves OKC!

Moving to Oakland. Kevin Durant shocks the NBA by announcing he will join The Golden State Warriors.

Thunder clap.....

NBA's Kevin Durant decides to take his talents over to the Golden State.

Durant will join the 2014-15 NBA Champions The Golden State Warriors causing a ripple effect in his former home of Oklahoma City.

He wrote on The Player's Tribune his thoughts on the decision.

My next chapter https://t.co/DG2TJ5cnev pic.twitter.com/zi94ss9NWI

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) July 4, 2016

This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn't truly understand, however, was the range of emotion I would feel during this process.

Fans throw the lighter fluid on Kevin Durant's jersey.

The primary mandate I had for myself in the making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player- as that has always steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolutions as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors are the Oklahoma City Thunder's arch rival. The fans were shocked about this decision.

Fans are shocked about this news. Durant's move almost certainly takes the Thunder out the running for being in the NBA finals.

Warriors Draymond Green gave a special shout out to Durant. He welcomes him to the Splash.

Welcome to THE FAMILY @KDTrey5 let's just do what we are setting out to do!! #Blockoutthenoise

Anyway, if you're a fan of Kevin Durant, how would this move affect you?

Stephen A. Smith, the sports agitator who openly said Blacks should support Republicans is good friends with Softball Hannity. He got heated....

Stacey Dash Feuds With Jesse Williams!

The Jesse Williams speech had touched a nerve. The conservatives are outraged over his fiery speech on how Black Lives are marginalized by the media. He said his passionate speech on BET.

As you know, BET is the network that seems to get the ire of conservatives. The network has mostly Black themed shows and it drives conservatives crazy. One in particular is a former actress turned conservative agitator.

Once again, Stacey Dash comes into the conversation.

She has the audacity to call Williams a "plantation slave".

Now she and many righties are calling for him to fired out the cannon. There's a petition on Change.org to have him fired from Grey's Anatomy, a hit medical drama on ABC.

Dash who is best known for being in the movie and television series Clueless joined Fox News in 2014 to host Outnumbered as a cultural analysis.

"Sorry Mr. Williams. But the fact that you were standing on that stage at those awards tells people you really don't know what (you're) talking about. Just spewing hate and anger", said Dash on her blog.

"Because you, my man, are just like everyone else hustling to get money."

Here's the kicker.

"But your cognitive dissidents has you getting it from THAT BYSTANDER whom YOU DON'T NEED. Yes, BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION is WHITE OWNED

Get over yourself and get on with it.

Dash was a fixture on BET. Now a fixture on Fox News, she acts like an idiot.

That chip on the shoulders of people like you will weigh you down and keep you from flying free. But true freedom is never free. You have to know how to fly. If anyone is making you feel this way its you. Living in a psychological prison of your own making. If anyone is GHETTO-IZING anyone, it's people like you letting the BETs and other media outlets portray us in stereotypes.

So here's another thing. The agitator deflects towards Williams race. He is born of an African American father and White mother. She claims that he has no right to speak cause his mother is White.

When conservatives try to deflect from the passionate issues of #BlackLivesMatter, they often bring up gun violence in the Black community.

U.A.E. Condemns Ohio Police For Profiling Man Visiting!

BE ADVISED THE VIDEO IS DISTURBING!



Avon Police and the mayor had to formally apologize to a man who traveled to the Cleveland area after they arrest him. They mistaken him as an Islamic State supporter. This arrest touched an international firestorm.

A hotel worker swatted a call about a man looking suspicious and pledging support to the Islamic State. The Avon Police come with high power firearms. The police immediately arrive at the hotel and order the man on the ground and search him for items.

Ahmed passed out after being detained by the law on a crank call.

Fairfield Inns and Suites, the Avon Police and the mayor had to formally apologize to the man after they detained him.

Fairfield Inns a division of Marriott Hotels, Inc hasn't commented on the worker, but it's assumed that the cannon is ready to fire after this came forth.

This was recorded on body camera.

Ahmed al-Menhali was detained by the law after the call. He would suffer from a fainting spell after they released him.

Of course, saying you support the Islamic State isn't illegal. Carrying out a potential terrorist plot is.

The United Arab Emirates quickly condemned the police and the hotel chain for rushing to judgement and basing their accusations on agitators in the media.

It's attracted the attention of #BlackLivesMatter, the Council of American Islamic Relations, Cop Block and the NAACP.

They are calling for heads to roll. After watching some of the videos on YouTube courtesy of WEWS 5 for the Cleveland/Akron/Canton area, I am certain that Avon will have a U.S. Justice Department investigation in the coming years.

Matter of fact, they want to make this a message about how quick law enforcement are when it comes to Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. The officers are quick to load and shoot an unarmed citizen of color rather than use proper judgement.

Okay there were incidents in Florida, Texas, California and this one in Ohio this year. While conservatives are screaming "radical Islam" and "ISIS". their loyal base are attacking innocent men and women.

Why are the conservatives not condemning their own?

Turk Crawls Back To Cash Money Records!

Turk is desperate. He resigns to Cash Money Records after years of beef. 

While Tunechi is feuding with the label, Tab Virgil, Jr. known in the hip-hop world as Turk went back to Cash Money Records. This was a surprise move given the situation with Lil' Wayne and his former mentor Bryan "Baby" Williams. Williams known as Birdman put a block on Wayne's album. Any album Lil' Wayne releases outside of his contract will net him a lawsuit from Cash Money.

He just settled at $1.3 million lawsuit with the label last year. 

Turk went to social media to post his gratitude to the label.

"The heart of a man, it could spark change; sometimes it gets hard, sometimes it gets soft. And, when you dealing with a lot of money and you dealing with a lot of talent, you dealing with a lot of ego and pride. With that being said, I don't know what God got in store for the old Cash Money clique...would there ever be a Hot Boys reunion. But, it's al love. And right now, my situation, it's just friendly competition."

WTF?

The good old days. The Hot Boys and Big Tymers.

Turk who completed a 14 year bid in federal time out for a gun charge is looking to save his failing career as a rapper. He was convicted of being a felon with a firearm. He was also a fugitive on the run for attempted murder.

He also was playing in the snow. He was busted with a 20 grams on the table.

Since his release from the iron college, he became a broke rapper. He owes debts from child support to unpaid bills and the criminal fine.

He was on social media begging his fans for $5 million to pay off his debts.

Seeing him and Juvie (formerly known as Juvenile) resign to Cash Money shows ignorance. 

I don't want to assume but I am guessing they failed high school. They wanted to focus on entertainment and they thought they could be rock stars. When they got the bug in the ear, they got mad and pouted. 

When you break a contract, you pretty much broke your wallet. Cash Money went on to sign Drake and Nicki Minaj and they proved to be successful and the old acts aren't.

Returning to Cash Money shows that loyalty overcomes money. But in reality, Juvie and Turk are broke and it's no joke!

Conservative Outrage Over Clinton Not Going To The Big House!

Conservatives are outrage over an agitator's claim that Clinton might not be indicted on a crime.

Like the Republican-led Benghazi committee, the "scandal" of the century was just smoke and mirrors. The Republicans and the conservative agitators in the junk food media are screaming outrage over the FBI conducting the interview with Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, who is currently under investigation for allegedly holding classified information her personal server instead of a government server might get off without an indictment. A CNN reporter made a social media post about it.

Cue the conservative outrage.

The conservatives are screaming corruption now that the FBI's findings say that Clinton didn't misuse her server to leak classified information.

CNN's Evan Perez got the ball rolling by saying his "sources" are convinced that Clinton will not be charged with a criminal indictment and the right went nuts.

When Attorney General Loretta Lynch met Bill Clinton in Phoenix, it sparked kookspiracy about how the Clintons are trying to out maneuver a criminal indictment.

Now again, this is a waste of time to worry about this. But Republicans and conservative agitators in the media are trying to make this seem like its Watergate.

After all four Americans died on September 11, 2012. Who cares about the 2,948 people, the thousands of people injured or permanently scarred by a terrorist attack on home soil on September 11, 2001.

In the minds of Republicans and the conservative agitators, George W. Bush kept us safe after September 11th! Barack Obama won't recognize the threat of "radical Islam".

Conservatives and their revisionist history will doom their chances in the election.

Hello Racist!

Be careful. What you post on social media will earn you a title on Hello Racist or Racists Getting Fired.

I am happy to promote this website devoted to exposing the underbelly of the internet. This website HelloRacist is exposing racists and its picking up steam. The Raw Story and Huffington Post has reported on this website devoted to outing online trolls who post racist stuff on social media.

So what does that mean?

Whenever someone clicks on The Drudge Report linked stories or post on Facebook, they may react to the story on a Facebook plug-in comment section. Sometimes the comments are not filtered.

If the person decides to post a racist comment, HelloRacist asks for the screenshot, the name of the person and an actual picture of the person posting it.

A stupid right wing meme

The mods will collect the posting, find their job or organization. The mods will ask for users to call the the racist's job or the organization to get them fired.

The website's mods are anonymous and they want to keep it that way.

We are happy to help expose racists who hide behind the internet bandwidth.

Elie Wiesel Passed Away!

Elie Wiesel passed away!

A man who survived the horrific genocide of the Holocaust to become an advocate for human rights passed away today.

Elie Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor and author who fought for peace, human rights and simple human decency, has died at the age of 87, a spokesman for Israel's Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, said Saturday.

Wiesel, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, recounted his family being sent to the Nazi concentration camps in his first book, "Night," which was published in 1955.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded Wiesel as a "master of words."

"(He) gave expression through his exceptional personality, and fascinating books about the victory of the human spirit over cruelty and evil. In the darkness of the Holocaust in which our brothers and sisters -- 6 million -- were murdered, Elie Wiesel was a ray of light and greatness of humanity who believed in the good in man," Netanyahu said.

"I was privileged to know Elie and to learn so much from him."

Born in Romania, Wiesel was 15 when he was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland with his family in 1944.

The future writer was later moved and ultimately freed from the Buchenwald camp in 1945. Of his relatives, only two of his sisters survived.

Wiesel told CNN last year that Auschwitz was "to this day, a source of shock and astonishment."

He broke his silence on his Holocaust experience 10 years after the liberation with the acclaimed memoir "Night," originally published in French as "La Nuit," which has been translated into 30 languages and has sold millions of copies since its publication.

The Nobel peace laureate, who wrote extensively about the horrors he and others endured, said he knew he'd have to write at some point but feared the words would elude him.

"I'm not sure, by the way, that I did find them," he said. "Maybe there are no words for what happened. Maybe somehow, the Germans ... the cruel killers, have succeeded at least in one way, at least that it deprived us, the victims, of finding the proper language of saying what they had done to us, because there are no words for it."

In 1986 the Nobel committee called Wiesel an important spiritual leader.

In his speech honoring Wiesel, then-chairman Egil Aarvik said: "From the abyss of the death camps he has come as a messenger to mankind, not with a message of hate and revenge, but with one of brotherhood and atonement."

Wiesel spoke of his own guilt in his moving Nobel acceptance speech.

"Do I have the right to represent the multitudes who have perished? Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? I do not. No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions," he said.

He said he sensed the presence of the tens of thousands of people who died at Buchenwald, and accepted the prize on their behalf and on behalf of his fellow survivors.

Millions of people were touched by "Night" and dozens of other works Wiesel produced. His books were deeply personal. He was honest with his readers about what he went through physically, emotionally, spiritually.

He wrote, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself. Never."

Throughout his life, the writer and teacher sought to give a voice to the voiceless.

He was a professor at the City College of New York from 1972 until he left four years later to become a humanities professor at Boston University. Before that, Wiesel was a journalist in Paris and then New York.

He was, in the words of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the international leader of the Holocaust remembrance movement.

"In the aftermath of the Holocaust, at a time when the world could not bear to remember, he could not bear to forget," the museum wrote in a statement. "Through his singular moral leadership, intellect, and eloquence, he gave voice to those who had been silenced forever and devoted his life to fulfilling the promise of 'never again' for all future victims of genocide."

Wiesel also didn't shy away from making strong remarks. While at the White House in 1985, he asked President Ronald Reagan to cancel a visit to a World War II military cemetery in West Germany.

"That place, Mr. President, is not your place,'' he said, according to The New York Times. ''Your place is with the victims of the SS.''

When he returned to the site of the Buchenwald death camp in 2009, he advocated for peace in the Middle East while addressing President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Andrea Merkel.

He lamented there was no grave of his father to visit and said the hope of no more war that he felt upon his rescue in 1945 was damaged.

"What can I tell him?" he asked. "That the world has learned? I am not so sure."

He implored Obama to help bring peace to the world.

"The time must come. It's enough -- enough to go to cemeteries, enough to weep for oceans. It's enough," he said. "There must come a moment -- a moment of bringing people together."

Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, the Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a "messenger to mankind," stating that through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps", as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace", Wiesel had delivered a powerful message "of peace, atonement and human dignity" to humanity.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Elie Wiesel. May your memory live on as a part of the global path of peace and prosperity.
