Sell Out Whoopi Goldberg
"Whoopi Goldberg Comes to the Rescue of Mel Gibson
Whoopi Goldberg has been useless in my book since the day that she encouraged Ted Danson to wear Blackface. It only got worse when she questioned whether Roman Polanski was guilty of 'rape rape'. Now, she has come to the defense of none other than Mel Gibson."
Someone has to stand up to Whoopi and her defending of criminal and racist men.

HIV and Pregnancy: A Death Sentence?
HIV and Pregnancy: A Death Sentence? | Abortion Gang
By now, I think everyone knows that HIV/AIDS is a major problem, especially in Africa. Poor medical care and lack of knowledge on the disease (even here in the U.S.) have caused fear, misconceptions, dread, and depression for those who contract it. For years, becoming pregnant after contracting HIV was a death sentence for the resulting child.
A few years ago, scientists discovered a “miracle” treatment for pregnant women with HIV–a way for her to deliver the baby without the child contracting HIV. Doctors and humanitarians alike cheered this wonderful treatment. Finally, a solution to the problem of mother-to-baby transmission.
I’m kicking myself at the moment for not being able to find the interview I heard on the radio, on NPR I believe, in which a doctor discussed this procedure. However, I did find a study done in Africa on the treatment.
The woman is given a shot of nevirapine, one drug of a three drug “cocktail” used to help the immune system in AIDS treatment, during labor. The child is then given a shot of it after birth. The majority of the time, this treatment is effective in preventing the transmission, and the child is spared from the terrible life of an HIV patient.
However, what other scientists have just discovered is that the use of nevirapine during labor is actually detrimental to the mother’s treatment later. There is a chance that the mother will become resistant to nevirapine, which renders useless the three drug “cocktail” used for HIV/AIDS treatment for her later. She will die sooner because of this. Her child will be without a mother.

COURT DATE AND GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION FOR TROY DAVIS TOMORROW & WEDNESDAY
COURT DATE AND GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION FOR TROY DAVIS TOMORROW & WEDNESDAY !!! - FTP MOVEMENT
Court date set for Troy Davis, an innocent man on Death Row
By: Eugene Puryear
Still fighting for justice after 19 years behind bars
After 19 years on death row, two scheduled executions, innumerable court hearings, rallies and teach-ins, Troy Davis will finally get
his day in court on June 23. In line with the most recent Supreme Court
ruling, the U.S. Federal District Court in Savannah, Ga., will hear evidence as
to Davis’s innocence. Davis was convicted in 1991 of the 1989 murder of
police officer Mark Allen MacPhail. While no gun was found and no physical
evidence linked Davis to the crime, the prosecution produced nine witnesses who
testified to Davis’s guilt.
Troy Davis
Since that time, however, seven of the original nine prosecution witnesses have recanted their testimony.
Nine new witnesses have come forward to support claims of Davis’s innocence. Despite this, courts from Georgia to the U.S. Supreme Court have passed the buck,
either denying Davis a hearing on the new evidence or handing off responsibility to another jurisdiction. Further hampering Davis’s efforts to
have his case heard with new evidence is the fact that Georgia does not guarantee counsel for the appeals of death row inmates, leaving him until recently without effective counsel.
Davis’s case has become a rallying cry for those who oppose the racist death penalty. Tens of thousands of
people around the world have recognized that the conviction of Davis fits the pattern
perfectly for the racist application of the death penalty in the United States.In Georgia, specifically, the American Bar Association found a person is 4.5
times more likely to be sentenced to death for killing a white person than for
killing a Black person. It is obvious that Georgia’s legal
authorities want to continue to muzzle Troy Davis to avoid exposing the reality of their sense of “justice.” With seven witnesses recanting and nine new witnesses, further investigation in the case of Davis will undoubtedly
reveal police misconduct, coercion and lack of due diligence. Further, the
sentence of death and prosecutors’ zeal to ignore potential exonerating evidence
will go even further to show that the entire death penalty process is more about
playing on racist prejudices for political reasons than finding the truth or
“crime prevention.”
After 19 years on death row, more than enough potentially exonerating testimony has come to light for Troy
Davis to, at the very least, receive a new hearing. To his many supporters, it is enough evidence to support his freedom.
19 years too many!
Abolish the racist death penalty!
Free Troy Davis!

Netanyahu: Security blockade on Gaza will only get stronger
Netanyahu: Security blockade on Gaza will only get stronger :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [reg.de]
Senior cabinet ministers on Sunday approved steps toward easing Israel's land blockade of the Gaza Strip, days after Jerusalem had issued a non-binding declaration supporting such a move.
"There will be no civilian closure of Gaza but there will be a security closure," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after the meeting. "That security closure will be tightened from now on."
He added: "We have deprived Hamas of the ability to blame Israel for hurting the civilian population [of Gaza] and our friends around the world are getting behind our decision and giving international legitimacy to the security blockade on Hamas."
Sources inside the prime minister's office expressed satisfaction with the move. "In the wake of this decision, the world's focus will be on the Qassam rockets Hamas is firing out of Gaza and not the coriander that Israel isn't allowing in," one senior aide told Haaretz.
Another official said the policy reversal would have been the right move, even without Israel's raid on Gaza-bound aid flotilla three weeks ago, which left nine activists dead and stepped up pressure on Israel to lift the siege.
"The new policy will prevent absurdities like blocking shipments of pasta to Gaza and will strengthen Israel's international position in enforcing a security closure. It will also strengthenl Israel's moral standing in its demand to free [captured Israeli soldier] Gilad Shalit.
The decision drew praise from the White House and criticism from the Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip, who called it "deception" and said that the blockade must be lifted entirely.
