It’s Time For Colin Powell To Make His Presidential Preferences Known

Based on what he’s said in the past, his decision should be clear.

>>> AT THE END OF AN EXTRAORDINARILY PRODUCTIVE -- AND EXHAUSTING -- WEEK, I'm too tired to type much now, but this is important:

EDITORIAL, Sept. 14: Hope for a new life snuffed out by gunfire

Darryl Freeman with son

http://www.starnewsonline.com/opinion/20160914/editorial-sept-14-hope-for-new-life-snuffed-out-by-gunfire

I am NOT pasting in the editorial, like I did yesterday morning: http://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2016/09/as-seen-this-morning-in-scandalous.html.

And I have a few things to type before pasting in the COMMENTS regarding this Wilmington Star News editorial, linked right beneath Darryl Freeman's photo:

1. Yesterday -- as I went back and noted in that posting, but AFTER I had emailed it to my list of 170+ Political Contacts -- I was UNABLE to google up or find in LINKED-IN any reference to the two who made comments AT ALL!!!

I assumed the Editors at the Star News were playing some kind of game.

I am SHOCKED to say, that TODAY, I found LOTS of evidence of Mr. Tom Newcomb (and Mr. Marshall H DeWitt seen below), being VERY REAL.

Mr. William J. Lirm still seems "not real", although my search was not entirely conclusive.

I REALLY thought the HACKERS -- whether CIA, NSA, or just the local Christian Drug Mafia -- had LAID OFF blocking me from getting TRUE Google and LINKED-IN search results -- but I was WRONG!!!

And TODAY, I again had to FORCE Windows 10 to power off and then rebuild it -- TWICE, so far. Then again, it MIGHT be caused by my anti-virus, Norton (full).

I CANNOT recommend Microsoft Windows OR Norton anti-virus -- to anyone with "controversial ideas" -- they have signed a DEVIL'S AGREEMENT with the US Government, local Drug Mafias -- or maybe just the Christian Churches.

So without further ado, here are those comments in REVERSE chronological order:

Tom Newcomb and Marshall H DeWitt have BOTH made excellent, thoughtful comments. The actual editorial is so lame -- that Wilmingtonians ought to DEMAND new leadership at the Star News!!! I have gotten FIVE guys out of living in the woods, four into the BEST rehab for Veterans in Charlotte, and one, shipped back to NOWHERE, Kansas where he is living with his mother, working.

Another lives with me now, and a second guy hangs out here a lot to be away from the street.

ALL of them were a bit of a "ratchet experience" -- two steps forward, one back, two forward, etc. -- that typical people with spouse and/or family could NOT easily do, but SOME of us can, and I hope we can ALL pitch in. They ALL have to deal with their old buddies trying to hold their progress back -- and "regular" people afraid to friend or date them.

Although WHITE, myself -- and related to the Kenans who founded UNC, control Exxon-Mobil, Bank of America, etc. -- I found Wilmingtonians to be downright HATEFUL as I tried to improve my life here. "Christians" still call me FAGGOT (I have been out gay since 1970), and claimed in 2012 to crowds on busy streets that I molested their young sons -- then when I DEMANDED they have me arrested and tried, they said, "Oh NO -- we are CHRISTIANS -- and we are going to give you HELL!!!"

They did, but I am winning, having a REAL EDUCATION, being a published writer and having successfully built businesses from scratch, managed bars and restaurants, and other things -- and being connected to REAL KENNEDYS, REAGANS, SINATRAS, and even Presidents and Generals of the US and Mexico who ALSO fight for Liberty and Justice for ALL -- unlike my wealthy Kenan relatives, the main force behind the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection -- with Wilmington WHITE Christians!!!

It appears to me this guy may be dead because of those Facebook posts that dis the criminal elements of Creekwood. That would also be a real good reason not to come forward with information. Nobody wants to be next.

Editors: It was a good idea to focus a piece on Darryl Freeman and the violence that continues to occur, not only in Wilmington, but throughout our country. From my perspective, if Mr. Freeman only decided to improve his life last week, that is enough to say he was on his way to better things. Our past should never prevent our future from being better.

You have done essentially nothing here, other than throw a weak stone at folks who are going to say the obvious about lives that matter or not. Is that all you have?

There was not a single concrete idea in this editorial. Do you find yourselves void of thought, or are you afraid to take a stance? This is an important issue and what we have here is nothing but another reporting of the incident.

Creekwood is like any other community in our world. It is made up of mostly good people and a few bad ones. The bad ones have not only hurt the good, they have silenced them. I understand folks are afraid to go on the record for fear of retaliation.

Why don’t you suggest something that will stop the violence? Use this space for ideas and initiatives. Our police know who the likely culprits are and should have the power to stop them. We are afraid to give our police the authority to combat the violence. It’s time to be aggressive and make sure that youngsters like Darryl Freeman’s son don’t have to start out on their journey without a father.« less
