For MLK's 92nd Anniversary: Great Speeches to Edify and Uplift the Soul
The vision for a world of peaceful cooperation and brotherhood which Martin Luther King willingly gave his life represents a promethean fire, is required more today than ever before.
As civilization is confronted with some of the most dangerous challenges threatening global war, and a plunge into a new Dark Age, the tests we will collectively be faced with can best be met by rekindling those creative fires of love and understanding that shaped Martin Luther King's ministry and his life of strategic thinking.
It is with this hope for a better age of humanity that the Rising Tide Foundation presents a collection of the most powerful speeches and sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
"Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond. She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration's health efforts."Vice President-elect Kamala Harris added that Levine is "a remarkable public servant with the knowledge and experience to help us contain this pandemic, and protect and improve the health and well-being of the American people."
In videos aired on TV and shared on social media, lines of security forces could be seen marching with shields and batons towards migrants in the village of Vado Hondo, in the east of the country, around 55km from the borders of Honduras and El Salvador.
Around 2,000 migrants were camped on a street following their skirmishes with Guatemalan troops on Sunday, with the blockade reportedly causing 30km-long lines of vehicles.
Guatemala's National Civil Police and the military cleared the camp on Monday, after those encamped failed to respond to warnings that they would be evicted if they stayed in situ.
Some migrants threw stones and other objects at the troops, with several injuries reported by local media.
Three groups of around 3,000 people each crossed into Guatemala on Friday and Saturday night, in an attempt to escape poverty exacerbated by the pandemic and damage caused by hurricanes. Most of those entering failed to present the required negative Covid-19 tests.
The Guatemalan authorities said 1,568 migrants had been returned to Honduras since Friday and another 100 to El Salvador.
After four years of 'Russiagate' spy fiction, it's time for one last yarn: the "former romantic partner" of a Capitol Hill rioter told the FBI that their ex-lover stole House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laptop to... sell it to Russia.Williams was arrested yesterday.
The laptop hasn't been located, but one witness told the FBI that their "former romantic partner," seen on video footage inside the Capitol, had stolen the laptop and attempted to sell it to Russia's foreign intelligence service.
That Democrats, law enforcement, and now even ex-lovers would blame Russia for the riot is unsurprising, after four years of Moscow being fingered for all of America's social ills. This trend continued throughout election season. Russians were blamed for pranking Joe Biden's campaign website, and a tranche of emails implicating Biden in foreign graft schemes were dismissed by multiple media outlets and the president-elect himself as "Russian disinformation."
The FBI said in a court filing on Sunday that a witness identifying himself as a former romantic partner told the bureau that Williams "intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence service."
The transfer fell through for unknown reasons, and Williams either still has the computer or destroyed it.
The witness also showed the FBI video of Williams apparently stealing the laptop.
