YES, Wonkette, HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA IS STILL A FEMINIST

Someone call Wonkette! (They'd gotten rather apoplectic over this misunderstanding.)

In an earlier post, I noted that there'd been an uproar over comments by His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, which had - it now appears to be - been quite clearly taken out of context.

His Holiness has a very self-deprecating sense of humour.  And, while not being outright critical, his comments often - if examined - reveal his perspective/views on society/culture.

He'd commented that it would be perfectly acceptable if the next Dalai Lama was a woman, but that she should have an attractive face, otherwise she would be of "no use." were mistaken for outrageously sexist remarks.

Hold your outrage for a moment, ladies and gents.

What His Holiness was, in fact, saying was that modern western culture/society still places far too much importance on the perceived superficial attractiveness of women - particularly of women who are seeking positions of power and/or women who are already in positions of power.*

(*See: "Hillary Clinton").

Here's to those of us who don't have a Trigger-Finger on our "Get Offended" Buttons!

Huntingdon Beach, CA Teen HERO, Cody Pines, Stops Bully From Beating Blind Student - Gets Suspended (Video)

WTF?!

Cody Pines, the student who punched a bully who was attacking a BLIND student - whilst every other kid was obeying the "No Violence" policy and was non-violently FILMING the assault with their cell phones is a HERO!!!

Sometimes, all a violent person - whether it's a bullying kid or it's a bullying adult - will understand is a punch in the face.

It's not pleasant, but it's the TRUTH. 

Grow up and deal with it, people.

"Dalai Lama's 'sexist' quip ruffles equality activists"* *But, was it a critique or an opinion?

~ Perhaps 'His Holiness' was only remarking on how - in modern western society - the physical attractiveness of women who are either seeking or who are already in positions of power - regardless of the field - is always brought up as if it's a worthwhile topic of conversation (See: "Hilary Clinton")?

"Gender equality campaigners have criticised the Dalai Lama for his suggestion that any potential female successor to his role “must be very, very, attractive”.  In an interview, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists said there was no reason why a future Dalai Lama could not be a woman – but she would have to be good looking otherwise she would be “not much use”."

The U.S. is at War with an Imaginary Islam: Lies, Propaganda and the Real Story of America and the Muslim World!

PLEASE Read This Article.

It's The Truth!  The TRUTH about American Empire-Building / -Expanding / -Maintaining.

And, it's the TRUTH about the absolutely required existence of a malleable THREAT which it demands in order to continue.

They are 2-Sides of the SAME Coin.

They are 1 and the SAME.

"The Islamist Imaginary, unlike Islam itself and political movements of Islamic inspiration, does not exist outside of the imperial interests that shape it.  It has no independent cultural or historical reality, outside its role as predatory threat to Western global-interests.  The American empire, in turn, requires a hostile and threatening enemy, which today takes the form of Islam of its imagination, to realize and rationalize its expansionist project that must remain unacknowledged and unspoken.  The two elements of the imaginary and empire co-evolve.  The needs of a threatened empire as vulnerable victim change over time.  The Islamist Imaginary transforms itself to meet those needs.  Imaginary and empire circle one another in a dance of predator and prey.  Their roles are interchangeable, a clear sign that they are not entirely real. The predator is prey; the prey is predator.  They develop in tandem in a complex process of mutual adaptation.  Boundaries give way between the real and the imagined.  In the end it is the imagined that haunts our imaginations and drives our policies."

US. State Department v. ISIS Propaganda War: John Oliver (Video)



The U.S. State Department's "Run - Don't Walk - To ISIS Land" (No, I'm not kidding.  Yes, that's the actual title.) Video Was Predicated On That Agency's Unfounded Hope/Wishful Thinking That Potential ISIS Recruits/Militants Understood Sarcasm.

Doesn't the U.S. State Department know that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"...?

Saudi Arabia was appointed to a key panel on UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

F.Y.I. ~ In May of this year, Saudi Arabia beheaded eight (8) foreigners.



What else happened during the summer?

Saudi Arabia was appointed to a key panel on UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).



"The hypocrisy behind this decision need hardly be stated. The Saudi government is unelected and run by one large family... it executes prisoners with particular relish, turning their executions into a public spectacle. Torture is routine in its prisons and offenders of certain crimes are flogged in public (Please Google: "Raif Badawi"). The denial of the right to drive is among the least of the abuses women suffer in the country.  Its vast wealth is used to acquire weapons at home and finance fundamentalist movements abroad which cause havoc in distant societies, transforming native forms of Islam into Wahhabism which bears little relation to the universal declaration of human rights."

*Fifteen (15) of the nineteen (19) 9/11 hijackers (patsies) were SAUDI.
*Osama bin Laden was protected - for years - by members of Pakistan's security apparatus in return for Saudi millions.

When self-proclaimed democratic governments participate in cordial relationships with despotic ones for purely economic reasons and they let those reasons lead them to knowingly turn a blind eye to the irrefutable and rampant Human Rights Abuses committed by the latter... Those moral compass-less governments Are Being Utterly Complicit In Those Human Rights Abuses!

Army General John Campbell Denies NYT Revelation / Urges Troops To Report Sex Abuse - Petraeus Says It's True!

"On Monday, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif, fired off a letter asking the Pentagon to provide "any and all existing Department of Defense legal guidance regarding the reporting of child abuse.""

"Hunter also recently asked the Defense Department's inspector general to review the Army's handling of a soldier who was punished for his aggressive response (ie: He beat the crap out of a pedophile) to the child sexual abuse in Afghanistan." 


Army General John Campbell Denies NYT Revelation / Urges Troops To Report Sex Abuse - Petraeus Says It's True!

Too Little.  Too Late.  Sounds like a hasty attempt at "clean-up" to me...  Prove me Wrong, General Campbell: Call for a Completely Independent Investigation!

U.S. Soldiers Told To Ignore Child Sex Abuse By Afghan "Allies" - New York Times Report


KABUL, Afghanistan -
  "In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.
   At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was SHOT TO DEATH at the base in 2012.
   He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way 'because it’s their culture.'”
"...it's their culture"?!
NO...  IT IS NOT!
What it IS: It's LOOKING THE OTHER WAY In The Face Of Heinous CHILD ABUSE / HUMAN Rights Abuses!  It's Turning A Deaf Ear To The Screams Of Children.
That's It, folks! I found my line...They just crossed it!
I'm off to let ‪#‎POTUS‬, Congress, Military Commanders, EVERYBODY Know That The AMERICAN (?) Practice Of ARMING PEDOPHILES and Looking The Other Way As They SEXUALLY TORTURE CHILDREN Is... Unconscionable & Unforgivable.

Debunking the Debunkers: Top 40 Reasons the Official 9/11 Story is Bunk!

In honor of All Souls who were lost on 9/11/01.

And, in honor of All Souls who have been lost since then... having fallen victim to America's (perpetual, military-industrial complex-supported) "War On Terror".


Also, in honor of all of the Constitutionally-Protected Rights and Privacies (which countless Americans fought and died to protect over the last 239 years) Americans have had so heinously taken away from them.
