Emergency: Senate Vote on Amendment to HR 34 is NEAR. update on #PsychiatrictsuNAMI
The amendment to H.R. 34 targets: babies, children, teens, young adults, college students, pregnant and lactating women, seniors, veterans, and everyone who uses medical services.
Please, before Monday morning – leave as many messages on your Senators AND Representatives Voicemail opposing the scam of amending the HR 34 the Tsunami Warning, Education, and Research Act of 2015 as the 21st Century #CuresAct amendment which includes awful versions of the Murphy Bills and multiple other bills that Senators are still attempting to amend before a vote.
Our legislators are pushing this through, and if you can believe, Senators are even still adding amendments.
The Senate will take up the proposed amendments on Monday, December 5, 2016, at 3PM Eastern or earlier – so keep an eye out for another sneak attack.
Even if the Senate pulls off this state-sanctioned scam of what an aid from a Representative’s Office explained to me as “a simple parliamentary procedure”, it will have to go back the House of Representatives and if it passes there, on to the President.
PLEASE ACT NOW AND STOP THE AMENDMENT TO HR 34.
To be clear, our government took a bill that passed, HR 34, Tsunami Warning, Education, and Research Act of 2016 and replaced the text with the 21st Century Cures Act, which includes the controversial Murphy Bills, and acted as if what they have done is legitimate.
#tsunNAMIWarning
On Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 9PM Eastern, call in to (267)521-0167 to be part of the program. This is an urgent call for you to speak out to your legislators.
On this show, Yvonne Smith, Lauren Tenney, and others will discuss things that you can talk about with your Senators AND Representatives concerning the scam of amending the Tsunami Warning, Education, and Research Act of 2015 H.R. 34 as the 21st Century #CuresAct amendment, which includes awful versions of the Murphy Bills and multiple other bills that Senators are still attempting to amend before a vote. They are pushing this through and if you can believe, Senators are even still adding amendments.
Senate will take up the proposed amendments on Monday, December 5, 2016, or earlier.
PLEASE ACT NOW AND HELP STOP THE AMENDMENT TO HR 34. #tsunNAMIWarning

WARNING: A Psychiatric Tsunami Is Upon Us
WARNING::: A PSYCHIATRIC TSUNAMI IS UPON US.
WE MUST ACT TODAY.
The Murphy Bill (HR 2646) has been merged with the 21st Century Cures Bill
and snuck into H.R. 34 as an an amendment.
The 996 page bill includes multiple provisions for forced psychiatry
not limited to IOC/AOT, ACT Teams, and Prison Psychiatry.
H.R. 34 also include:
SAMHSA reorganization,
condoning of HIPPAA violations,
a study of peer support specialists for future controls of the field,
multiple attacks on young people and veterans,
and a host of other potential human rights violations.
Psychiatry is a fraud and this bill perpetuates it.
Today, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2016 tell your legislators to VOTE NO on H.R. 34, Tsunami Warning, Education, and Research Act of 2015.
Demand that your legislators stop sneaking controversial,
damaging bills into other bills at the last minute.
The American people deserve more.

Death of the Liberal Class? Death to the Liberal Class!
Death of the Liberal Class? Death to the Liberal Class!
Posted By Vincent Emanuele On In articles 2015 | Comments Disabled
For as long as I’ve been involved with progressive political movements, activists and organizers have been trying to reform the Democratic Party with little to no success.
Unfortunately, none of this is new as activists have tried to reform the Democratic Party since the 1960’s, only to see the Dems lurch further and further to the right over the past several decades.
In America, we don’t talk about history. If we do, it’s either a bunch of watered down bullshit, or outright myths and fallacies. That being said, it might be useful to talk to today’s young activists about the dark legacy of the Vietnam War, a war many consider to be the worst international crime of the second half of the 20th century.
According to military historian Nick Turse, over 4 million Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians were killed as a result of Uncle Sam’s limitless aggression in the pursuit of power. Today, Agent Orange continues to ravage not only U.S. veterans, but most importantly the people in Southeast Asia.
In order to understand today’s Democratic Party, progressives and liberals must come to grips with the history of their party. Consequently, we should never forget who got the U.S. into Vietnam in the first place: namely, JFK and LBJ, two Democratic-liberal heroes, of course.
Both JFK and LBJ adhered to Eisenhower’s “Domino Theory,” (which was an extension of George Kennan’s containment policy) the idea that Communism, like a cancer, would spread throughout the world if left unchecked. Therefore the U.S. Empire’s primary objective (at least nominally and ideologically) was to stop Communism wherever it raised its ugly little head – Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.
For those who are willing to look, the Liberal Class’s disgraceful legacy during the Cold War has been forever sealed in the annals of history.
***
After 9/11, the modern Democratic Party continued its imperial legacy when it fully bought into and promoted George W. Bush’s “War on Terror.” Without question, Democrats share equal responsibility for the death and destruction that followed the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Not only did they overwhelmingly vote in favor of both wars, they also failed to cut funding when they had the power to do so (2006-2008).
Obama, a life-long adherent to the idea of “American Exceptionalism,” carried forward many of Bush’s policies. In December of 2009, Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan, sending 30,000 extra troops to the war-torn nation. Today, the war continues, with no end in sight.
In fact, Afghanistan is in worse condition today than it was after the Soviet invasion ended in 1989. Political corruption is rampant. Terrorism is the new normal. And poppy production is at an all-time high. This, not democracy or peace, is Obama’s legacy in Afghanistan.
Obama also expanded Bush’s NSA surveillance operations. His war on whistle blowers is unprecedented. And by now, the world is aware of Obama’s love for drones and Special Operations Forces, especially those living in Yemen, Syria and Libya.
Of course, all of this has taken place without a peep from MoveOn, the major unions, liberal NGOs or Democrats in U.S. Congress. Unsurprisingly, the Liberal Class has been all but silent during Obama’s reign as commander-in-chief of the largest and most murderous empire in the history of humanity.
***
Today, the Liberal Class attempts to normalize the Neofascist-freakshow, Donald J. Trump. Even the mainstream news commentators who are now attempting to cover Trump with an iota of journalistic integrity are normalizing characters like Glenn Beck in the process. For example, Glenn Beck was recently a guest on Anderson Cooper’s program, 360°, where Beck detailed the “horrors” of the Alt-Right.
Apparently no one remembers the many years Glenn Beck spent on FoxNews, demonizing progressives and painting Obama as a political radical who wanted to completely remake America in the image of Karl Marx. Anyone who thinks Beck is some sort of conventional conservative should read excerpts from his book, America’s March to Socialism: Why We’re One Step Closer to Giant Missile Parades. Short memories proliferate today’s media landscape.
The liberal media outlets have benefited greatly from Trump’s campaign, both as the Republican nominee, but also during the GOP primaries. Remember, during the primary season, Trump was a regular guest on virtually every major “news program” on MSNBC and CNN.
Liberals ate it up. They figured, like the Clinton campaign, that they could use the Neofascist buffoon for ratings, while simultaneously propping him up as a viable candidate, for they assumed there was no way Clinton could lose to a reality TV star, right?
Now that President-elect Trump is two months away from taking power, Obama, the New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, the Clintons, etc., tell us to root for The Donald because it’s time for the nation to “heal.” On the contrary, millions of people have taken to the streets in defiance of the Liberal Class. These trends will continue as the Democratic Party has learned nothing from the 2016 elections. Not only has the Liberal Class given us Fascism, they’re now normalizing it.
***
The unions are no better than the media or the politicians. They don’t educate their members. And they’re completely beholden to the Democrats. Political independence is an afterthought, which is a tragedy because organized labor played such a significant role in shaping progressive politics over the past 100+ years. But those days are gone. The traditional labor movement is all but dead.
Today, in many cases, the labor movement represents everything that is dysfunctional and wrong with the Liberal Class. Nearly every major union, with the exception of seven (APWU, NNU, ATU, NUHW, UE, CWA and ILWU), endorsed Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist.” The same was true in the Chicago mayoral election of 2014, where the vast majority of unions in the Chicago backed the Neoliberal candidate, Rahm Emanuel, over community activist and Latino, Chuy Garcia.
***
NGO’s, Organized Labor and the Democratic Party represent a failed past. They also represent a lack of imagination. Undoubtedly, everyone should support the activists who are currently demonstrating in cities and towns across the United States. Popular rage should be understood as the only logical reaction to Neofascism.
That being said, we’re going to need more than popular anger and outrage: we need serious alternatives to the Liberal Class and its many institutions.
At this point, I beg the people who will read this article: do not waste your time trying to reform the Democratic Party. History matters. And history tells us that “reforming” the Democratic Party (whatever that means, as the left has no unified vision) is not only a lost cause, but symptomatic of an American population that lacks anything resembling creativity or independence.
The Tea Party comparison is equally absurd, as the Tea Party was backed by millionaires and billionaires. The Elites had a vested interest in pushing the Republicans even further to the right, which is why the movement was so successful. Anyone telling you different either lacks ideas or has a vested interest in continuing the same failed bullshit progressive organizers and activists have been doing for decades.
In the meantime, everything has gotten worse, from the police state and the rise of the prison industrial complex, to the U.S. Empire and climate change. We are running out of time. We don’t have two or three decades to transform electoral politics.
Let’s avoid the terrible pitfalls of Bush-era activism, where the three dominant organizational influences were sectarian groups (Revolutionary Communist Party), liberal NGOs (MoveOn) and undemocratic unions (take your pick). We need principled movements. We need movements who are willing to stand up and speak out regardless of which party holds electoral power.
Most importantly, we need new ideas, programs, strategies and tactics. So far, more than a week after the election, I have yet to read an article that’s suggesting anything different than what I was reading during Bush’s second term, almost ten years ago. That’s not a good sign.

What We Can Do
What can we do? First, form citizens oversight committees to
oversee police, courts and other government officials. Get involved.
Realize that we are in inverted totalitarianism and the
levers of power have been seized by the ruling class and we only are lead to
believe that we have true democracy. Manufactured consent results in comments
like “We must support our police", when we live in a police state…yes…a police
state (why do you think we have police getting military equipment….tanks,
machine guns….this is for the coming of the failure of capitalism). Remember:
Police and Blackwater troops have already been used against American citizens
in New Orleans. They turned their guns against poor blacks trying to escape the
flood waters of hurricane Katrina and shot some of them dead.
Robots are taking the jobs and they are not coming back. The
idea of exchanging money for labor is obsolete. The wealthy see this coming and
they are ensuring that we have a strong military and police force to defend
them. There is an acute shortage of natural resources, including water…the war
in Syria is a resource war over water.
Examine white privilege and the damage it does to us all …along
with income inequality.
Black slaves and their families never got the 40 acres and a
mule that were promised to them. Blacks have never been able to participate in
the capitalistic system. Reparations could include a permanent tax free status
for blacks to make up for 500 years of slavery, Jim Crow, inequality, dishonored
treaties, destroyed legacies, loss of interest and property…….. and injustice.
A formal apology for slavery and Jim Crow should be issued.
Slaves should be honored for their uncompensated labor that made this country
great.
Evaluate: communities of color and poor communities have
been chained by the justice system and prisons …and…these chains are being
readied for the rest of us.
The ruling class does not want to see us at peace or to see
our families happy or healthy.
They want to reduce the population. Why do you think they
prosecute wars and fight so hard to prevent universal healthcare. 66% of our
budget goes to war…not to schools, not to hospitals, healthcare, housing..the
weak and vulnerable….in fact, only 1% goes to anti-poverty programs and they
keep wanting to cut that to reduce the deficit.
Stop the war on drugs and mass incarceration. Invest into
new schools instead of new prisons.
Eliminate student loans and make education free for all (we
can afford it) the bloated defense budget is proof of that. European nations,
Asian nations…do not have to have large military forces. OUR TROOPS are protecting
them, so, they have four day work weeks and massive paid vacations.
Reevaluate this primitive tradition of locking up criminals.
Let’s rehab them…as they do in Europe.
Let’s treat our elderly with dignity. Build Disney like
facilities that have buildings, food, music…like the old times and allow them
to live out their lives in dignity (this is done in Europe…down to having old
cars). THIS instead of horrible nursing homes.
Eliminate items and
institutions that honor the Confederacy…as Germans have done with the Nazi’s and
Hitler. No more Robert E. Lee High and black cheerleaders wearing “The Rebels”
on their uniforms. No more Edmund Pettis Bridge. No more Confederate flags.
Black people should not be forced to honor the Confederate criminals no more
than Jews should be forced to honor Hitler and the Nazis or Americans to honor
Osama Bin Laden, The Taliban.
The black community has always been a canary in the coal
mine. What happens to them eventually happens to all. The police that kill
black men now, will kill others, later.
Just as conservatives and neo liberals engineered the drug
wars to destroy the civil rights movement and communities of color in the 1960’s,
now, white males are dying at higher numbers than anyone else in the addiction
war.
Most of us, have been taught what to think, not how to
think. The lame stream media creates this false picture of police and military forces
with all the police shows, movies and embedded news anchors.
We have to tell
our own stories, to know the truth.

BOOKS BY
Hannibal
B. Johnson
- Apartheid
in Indian Country? looks at the
controversy over the citizenship status of the descendants of persons of
African ancestry who lived among the Five Civilized Tribes, the
“Freedmen.” The ancestors of some of the Freedmen were enslaved by the
Five Tribes, while others were free persons living among those tribes. The
Freedmen claim treaty, blood, and affinity relationships to the Five
Tribes. [Audience: high school students and adults] (Eakin Press; ISBN 13:
978-1-935632-34-4)
o
Black Wall
Street traces
the history of Tulsa’s African-American community, renowned nationally in the
early twentieth century for its preeminent Black entrepreneurs. Tulsa was the
site of the worst race riot in American history in 1921. Some 300 people were
killed and property damage ran into the millions. Tulsa’s African-Americans overcame. The
Greenwood District was rebuilt and, by 1942, boasted 242 black-owned and
black-operated business establishments. The book is a testament to the human
spirit. [Audience: high school students and adults] (Eakin Press; ISBN 193464538-9)
- Up
From The Ashes tells the story of the development, destruction,
and rebuilding of a dynamic neighborhood from a child’s perspective. Based
on actual historical events, it is a positive, life-affirming book.
Readers will discover what it means to be part of a community, with all
its ups and downs. The book
demonstrates many of the timeless virtues we all cherish, not just for
ourselves, but for our children: faith, determination, integrity, humility,
and compassion. [Audience: elementary school students] (Eakin Press; ISBN
978-1-940130-43-9)
o Acres of Aspiration tells the story of the all-Black towns in Oklahoma. Prominently in Kansas, then principally in
Oklahoma, all-black towns founded by black seekers mushroomed in the post-Reconstruction
era. Weary Southern migrants formed
their own frontier communities, largely self-sustaining. Black towns offered hope—hope of full
citizenship; hope of self-governance; and hope of full participation, through
land ownership, in the American dream. Despite an auspicious beginning, the
all-black town movement crested between 1890 and 1910, a time when American
capitalism transitioned from agrarian to urban. This and a host of other social
and economic factors ultimately sealed the fates of these unique, historic
oases. Many perished. Most faded. Only
the strong survived. The few that remain serve as testaments to the human
spirit and monuments to the power of hope, faith, and community. [Audience:
high school students and adults] (Eakin Press; ISBN 1-57168-664-9)
- Mama
Used to Say captures one
mother’s wit and wisdom on a whole host of twelve select topics: life
& living; family & relationships; right & wrong; money &
work; time; success & failure; race; religion; love; respect;
education; and integrity. At once
witty and poignant, Mama Used to Say,
through its anecdotes, adages, meditations, and reflections, offers the
reader opportunities for self-examination and personal growth. The common thread running through Mama Used to Say is the universality
of a mother’s love and seemingly boundless capacity for nurturing, not
just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. [Audience: high
school students and adults] (HAWK Publishing; ISBN 1-930709-46-3)
o IncogNegro recounts, poetically, stories of race and diversity.
Listen. Listening breeds empathy, evokes
compassion, and moves us a step closer to walking the proverbial mile in
someone else’s shoes. Everything begins with that first step. Ultimately, like
actors on the world stage, each of us has some role, however small, to play in
fostering an accepting, inclusive, diverse community. (PublishAmerica; ISBN
1-60474-696-3).
o Tulsa’s Historic Greenwood District recounts the Greenwood story in captioned photographs.

Disability and Diverse Communities Speak Out about the Presidential Debate and How the Candidates will Impact Our Communities.
This is a current events show that will be looking at our analysis of the Clinton/Trump debates and how the candidates will impact our diverse communities.
One candidate has in the recent past talked disparagingly about persons of different ethnicities, religions, and disabilities.
What can we expect from each candidate?
We will be keeping in mind people with disabilities intersect with various communities and asking that people speak out.
We will set up our own poll.
Call (267)521-0167 on 9/26 11PM Eastern
