I am convinced that the 2012 Election for President will be about whether we want government by the Ninety-Nine Percent or by the One Percent including greedy corporations who buy political power. It is time to end Corporate Greed in not only the national election but in the local elections! --- Whistle Blower Robert McCarroll

I wonder if Ivan González Cancel likes this commentary by me that was published in the Puerto Rico Daily Sun VOICES and in Puerto Rico News Topix. It keeps showing up on websites advocating his candidacy for Governor of Puerto Rico. I used the top photo in my posings instead of the photo used by Gonzalez Cancel? I would like to know whether Ivan González Cancel agrees with me and many of my friends that the Puerto Rico and Federal governments should investigate for possible illegalities Sprint’s extremely poor service and even non-service in certain areas – like where I live – yet still charge customers for service not provided. – Isn’t this stealing to sell what you know is not available? -- I have a feeling Ivan González would not be a political leader greedy for contributions from corporations more interested in getting rich at the expense of the middle class and lower income people. He would protect the people of Puerto Rico instead of looking the other way when greedy corporations, who are big contributors to politicians wanting cash more than serving the people, are ripping off the people – the Ninety-Nine Percenters. I am convinced that the 2012 Election for President will be about whether we want government by the Ninety-Nine Percent or by the One Percent including greedy corporations who buy political power. It is time to end Corporate Greed in not only the national election but in the local elections! --- Whistle Blower Robert McCarroll

Could González Cancel be a male “Joan of Arc” to save Puerto Rico?

Posted by: Upfront Yankee

When I opened the Daily Sun to pages 4 & 5, I decided that this must be another boring political story about an unappealing candidate. However, as I read the Peggy Ann Bliss commentary: “González Cancel launches NPP primary fight,” I kept saying enthusiastically to my self, “Yes... Yes... Yes...” to everyone of the points that González Cancel made regarding what is wrong with Puerto Rico and what he would do as governor to correct these problems.

He blames corruption for almost all of Puerto Rico’s ills, including the bad economy and the failure to advance the statehood ideal. Often when I read about the high crime rate and political corruption in Puerto Rico, I would wonder why would any stateside American want Puerto Rico to join the Union. It seems that I and González Cancel are on the same wave length that Puerto Rico needs to change or improve to have statehood appeal here and there.

Recently, Fortuño said that what he has done for Puerto Rico could be a learning lesson for Washington. I think he has it backwards. What the Tea Party Republicans in Washington are doing to harm the middle, working and disadvantaged classes in the United States, Republican Fortuño is doing the same to the people here in Puerto Rico. Is he influenced by his Tea Party friends in Washington and the red states? What he can teach Washington, is how to make the people wait two to three hours – even more – for a public bus to go to work. How to have the murder rate and other violent crimes become the highest rate in the history of Puerto Rico. Many stateside jurisdictions are reducing crime while Puerto Rico continues to increase crime under Fortuño. I hope the anticipated indictments expected from the United States Department of Justice – FBI will be issued to corrupt officials before the NPP primary. We don’t want to nominate candidates and then find out that they have been indicted for serious crimes. It would be worse if they got elected; and then, we learn that they are corrupt.

In addition to serious problems with law enforcement, little has been done under Fortuño to improve the Education Department and Public Health Department to properly serve the people. He fired a lot of public workers to the point where areas to serve the people are now seriously understaffed and in complete disarray. It seems “no one is minding the store.”

González recognizes the need to improve these services for the people and has offer many excellent ideas on how to make government better serve all the people in Puerto Rico.

Why did I keep thinking of Joan of Arc as I read the many ideas González Cancel offers to make Puerto Rico worthy for statehood and accepted by stateside Americans? How can the people follow this male Joan of Arc to save Puerto Rico?

Arizona and Interposition

An important verb appears on page 14 of the government’s brief in Arizona v. the United States, the case about four provisions of that state’s immigration law that will be argued on Wednesday in the Supreme Court. The government says Arizona is trying to “interpose” its own judgments on “national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, humanitarian considerations and the rights of law-abiding citizens and aliens.” It says the Constitution and Congress, in the Immigration and Nationality Act, give the executive branch authority to handle those issues.

The word “interpose” is a yellow flag in the history of state and federal relations. The southern states claimed a right of “interposition” as a basis for secession before the Civil War, and they resurrected the idea in the 1950s. Just as they claimed the right to interpose their power between the federal government and their populations over slavery and other issues in the 19th century, the southern states claimed the right to ignore the Supreme Court’s desegregation order in Brown v. Board of Education.
In 1958, in Cooper v. Aaron, the court scorched this idea and reaffirmed that Arkansas had a duty to follow federal law. The governor had contended he was not bound by the court decision and ordered the National Guard to bar nine African-American students from Little Rock’s Central High School, causing violence and disorder. In a unanimous opinion that they all signed, the nine justices said that the “chaos, bedlam and turmoil” caused by the governor’s disobedience was “intolerable.”
Arizona’s argument is somewhat different. Arizona contends that it has the power to make its own immigration policy even though the federal government has authority over immigration as part of foreign policy. It says its statute merely empowers law enforcement to cooperate with federal officers.
That is extremely disingenuous, to put it politely. The law transforms a federal policy that allows discretion in seeking serious criminals among illegal immigrants into a state mandate to single out everyone in Arizona illegally. The four provisions of the statute at issue essentially turn all Hispanics, including American citizens and legal residents, into criminal suspects. They require racial profiling, and, because their purpose is “attrition through enforcement,” their goal effectively is separation by race.
Just as racial equality was the law of the land during the desegregation era, it is the law of the land today. It is imperative that there be “a single, national approach” to immigration, as the government’s brief explains, and that any state law fulfills America’s hard-won commitment to racial equality. Arizona’s anti-immigrant statute emphatically does not.

Anders Behring Breivik says insanity report '80% lies'

Anders Behring Breivik, in court in Oslo, 25 April Breivik has argued he should either be put to death or acquitted
Anders Behring Breivik has told his trial in Oslo that "80%" of a psychiatric report that found him insane in relation to his 77 killings in two attacks last July is "lies".
Breivik has returned to the stand to argue he is sane and should not be committed to a mental institution.
The court is discussing two psychiatric reports that came to opposing views on his sanity.
The court earlier heard more testimony from victims of the Oslo bombing.
Breivik, 33, admits to killing 77 people in Oslo and on Utoeya island but denies criminal responsibility.
'Death or acquittal' The BBC's Lars Bevanger in Oslo says Wednesday's evidence is crucial from Breivik's point of view.
The decision on Breivik's sanity will determine whether he is sent to jail or a psychiatric institution. The five-strong panel of judges will make the ruling at the verdict in July.
Breivik is arguing against the first psychiatric report, which found him legally insane and suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, and in favour of the second, which concluded he was accountable for his actions.
He told the court that the psychiatrists compiling the first study had failed to understand he had deliberately suppressed his emotions to prepare for attacks.

At the scene

The first of Anders Behring Breivik's surviving victims has given evidence in court. Eivind Dahl Thoresen, a 26-year old-law student, recalled how he was blown over as he walked only metres from the car bomb in Oslo while chatting about the Tour de France with a friend on his mobile phone.
He told the court how he came to be covered in blood. The paramedics who took him away in an ambulance were worried there might be another bomb about to go off. Nine months on, Mr Thoresen still needs crutches and has reduced use of one arm.
Earlier the court heard coroner's reports of those who died in the blast outside the government buildings. The details have been too gruesome for media here to report, but spoke of the extreme violence caused by the bomb. Families of the dead have been listening to all this in court, while Breivik has remained largely motionless and appearing interested yet emotionless throughout.
He said: "It is not me who is described in that report... Everything I presented was entirely logical. I don't see the slightest possibility I will be judged insane."
Our correspondent says this is a key issue for Breivik, who wants to show his actions were motivated by a political ideology.
Breivik has said committal to a psychiatric ward would be a fate worse than death and he would do "anything to prevent" it.
Breivik himself has argued he should either be put to death or acquitted.
Our correspondent says most people in Norway who have been following the trial expect Breivik to be found sane, given the way he has conducted himself in court.
If so he could face 21 years in jail, which can be extended if he is thought a continuing danger to society. He would face compulsory psychiatric care if found insane.
Earlier, the court heard more testimony from those injured in the Oslo blast and more forensic evidence of the explosion.
Passer-by Eivind Dahl Thoresen described seeing flames out of the corner of his right eye, lifting his hands to his face and being thrown backwards.
Deafened, he said he tried to help another injured man before noticing he was himself bleeding heavily and lay down, shouting for help.
The prosecution also read a statement on behalf of another blast victim, who lost a limb.
Our correspondent says these are some of the first tales of the many victims of the July attacks and over the next eight and a half weeks of the trial, there are sure to be many more harrowing stories to come.
He says that in a few weeks time there will be 69 more coroner's reports - one for each of the deaths at the Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island.
Relatives of victims sobbed during the evidence on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Breivik watched the witnesses without any visible emotion.
On Wednesday he said if anyone should apologise for the killings it should be the ruling Labour Party.
"But instead they continue in the same direction, so the grounds for struggle are unfortunately even more relevant now than before July 22."
Breivik spent the first week of the trial giving his own version of events, saying his plan was to kill as many people as possible.
He says he was defending Norway from multiculturalism.

Flamenco (Spanish pronunciation: [flaˈmeŋko]) is a genre of music, song and dance from Andalusia in southern Spain, noted for its energetic, staccato style. It grew from Andalusian music, song and dance styles, influenced by the song and dance of the local Romani people.[1][2][3]
The cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), dance (baile) and palmas (handclaps) are the principal facets of flamenco.
In recent years flamenco has become popular all over the world and is taught in many countries; in Japan flamenco is so popular that there are more academies than in Spain.[4][5] On November 16, 2010, UNESCO declared Flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.[6]

Flamenco is an andalusian term that refers both to a musical genre, known for its intricate rapid passages, and a dance genre characterized by its audible footwork. The origins of the term are unclear. It's rumoured to originate in South Wales and is associated with tin mining. The word Flamenco, which applies to the song, the dance and the guitar, did not come into use until the 19th century.

Flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition. Although considered part of the culture of Spain, flamenco actually originates from one of Spain's autonomous regions: Andalusia. However, other areas, mainly Extremadura and Murcia, have contributed to the development of several flamenco musical forms, and a great number of renowned flamenco artists have been born in other territories of the state. It is generally acknowledged that flamenco grew out of the unique interplay of native Arabic, Andalusian, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures that existed in Andalusia prior to and after the Reconquest. Latin American and especially Cuban influences have also been important in shaping the rumba flamenco form. Flamenco is the music of the gypsies and played in their social community. Andalusian people who grew up around gypsies and the life were also accepted as "flamencos" (Paco de Lucía).

"Flamencologists" or "Pro Dancers" have usually been flamenco connoisseurs of no specific academic training in the fields of history or musicology.[citation needed] They have tended to rely on a limited number of sources (mainly the writings of 19th century folklorist Demófilo, and notes by foreign travellers. Bias has also been frequent in flamencology. This started to change in the 1980s, when flamenco slowly started to be included in music conservatories, and a growing number of musicologists and historians began to carry out more rigorous research. Since then, some new data have shed new light on it. (Ríos Ruiz, 1997:14)

There are questions not only about the origins of the music and dances of flamenco, but also about the origins of the very word flamenco. George Borrow writes that the word flemenc [sic] is synonymous with "Gypsy").

Blas Infante, in his book Orígenes de los Flamencos y Secreto del Cante Jondo, controversially argued that the word flamenco comes from Hispano-Arabic word fellahmengu, which would mean "expelled peasant"[2] after the end of the Moorish reign. term to the ethnic Andalusians of Muslim faith, the Moriscos, who would have mixed with the Gypsy newcomers in order to avoid religious persecution. Other hypotheses concerning the term's etymology include connections with Flanders (flamenco also means Flemish in Spanish), believed by Spanish people to be the origin of the Gypsies, or the flamante (ardent) execution by the performers, or the flamingos.

However, in the 1990s works of scholars, such as the above mentioned Rios Ruiz and Álvarez Caballero demonstrated that there is much historical data available on early flamenco. (See subsection below: "The rise of flamenco")

I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan

I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
