Of the optics and while the emails do show that no binal decision has been made on withdrawing the military aid a state Department Official told the media that the United States is quote constantly reviewing our assistance to ensure that it aligns with our policy objectives and makes best use of taxpayer dollars. You know i think the best use of taxpayer dollars is not to start and it was needless wars and then and then holding nations we invade hostage to our taxpayer funded age paid packages thats a pretty good use but we can all do that my friends if we start watching all this.

Fires burning ice caps melting along with plenty of Scientific Evidence these are just a couple of factors that have many convinced that Global Warming is a reality in Addition Research from decades ago also points to Climate Change being a real threat the source an oil Company Imperial oil known for its s. O. Gas stations in canada is a subsidiary of exxon in fact exxon owns nearly 70 percent of imperial which aside from being in the gasp our business is also a major holder of reserves in canadas controversial tar sands like exxon imperial has been accused of Climate Change denial and pushing its own agenda instead of facing the potential crisis in response to that and other accusations imperial has been battling anything that may look like environmental ism for a very long time in the 1960 s. And korea oil began actively hiring consultants to combat future public backlash in regards to its relation to the environment documents from the time show the company was aware of the connection between fossil fuels and Climate Change but instead of adjusting its business to fight the threat it viewed the melting of ice in the arctic as a Business Opportunity knowing what it knew by the 1970 s. Imperial oil was aware that resistance to the oil industry was likely going to grow and in response the company took things to the next level surveillance. In a 1906 report compiled to develop strategies for responding to criticism imperial profiled 6 socalled canadian pressure groups it accuse the organizations of targeting imperial over environmental and political issues while politicizing the entire fossil fuel industry itself in coming years and period would develop its own Environmental Research capabilities and by the 1990 s. The companys findings came to an alarming conclusion Greenhouse Gases were heating up the earth and imperials operations were contributing to the problem however these findings did little to change the companys behavior or defense of rhetoric former imperial c.

You could keep the. Focus on the most of. These is the bush thats been the most good movie. And i knew. That. When i was. In what is quickly becoming one of the most underreported tragedies taken place here in the United States prisons across the Southern State of mississippi are in a state of crisis after the tragic death of inmate terran bands dobbins back and december of 2029 the state of mississippi put its prisons on lockdown and since the dawning of the new year 5 inmates have been killed from violence and murders to fires flooding him even black mold inmates across the state are facing what some might call a biblical level of strife inside the states prison system especially inside the states highest security lock up the Mississippi State penitentiary at parchment. And while many are quick to blame Gang Violence among the inmates is the ultimate problem that my friends is not the whole story according to the Mississippi Center for investigative reporting this problem was long in the making and that the current violence comes after years of neglect by state officials who allowed conditions at parchment to deteriorate when federal courts ended oversight of the facility in 2011. So what exactly is going on inside the parchment and other prisons across mississippi a state with the 3rd highest incarceration rate in the country well joining us today from jackson mississippi are prison and reentry ministry embassador Pauline Rogers along with her husband Frederick Rodgers who was an inmate at parchment for 16 years thank you for joining me. Thank you so i think the best place to begin is what exactly has been taking place inside mississippis prisons in particular parchment penitentiary since the start of the new year whats going on out there. Is like a volcano i should ask any roshan and in this so. Its not a angus like a cat ok it was a real thing to get you off that they have thats their response of anger but after you punch your moment yes in fact that now that post is draining. Oh and this is eruption of whats been going on out for me in the many years. Now many are quick to blame Gang Violence on the multiple tragedies taken place inside mississippis prisons frederick you were incarcerated apartment for 16 years from the ages of 14 to 31 is this really a Gang Violence issue like most of the media and state officials are saying or what is really actually going on inside there and whats really causing these problems. With a certain degree to do with it but also included. You seem to what is being cruel relates to treatment 20 years used to result of that. Theres a lot of state officials that need to be here look down the food be. Sure. Because we are they are here on account of our retreat want to know. Let me ask you this who do you feel is ultimately responsible for the for this chaos and what needs to happen to bring accountability as you said to officials who have allowed these prisons to deteriorate who have not taken care of the incarcerated people there you know who should be held accountable and how can we hold them accountable. Well for one thing youve got to give people. This is that this is what has happened in parchment in these other facilities is what has been designed to happen over the years quietly and one of the now read it like a fire in a marriage in her book when they have to kowtow and serve with the 1st female chaplain herit in the state of mississippi in a book that she art there she cows it parchment became a role model but the concept of pot placement for profit factory and so what has happened when people start that it was for profit just like it was when it was built for plantation now the system the system had to didnt increase with the increase in parole increase in. Increase it all the things that created this collective system of unfair prosecutors. Private prisons and so you have people who encourage family members actually to go to school to become lawyers judges get elected to be judges so that they can create this system that would. Oh you would do is pass the baton on to him or so what needs to happen now is. Not mr hope people account but you have to go back years to get ever batted as held accountable because this is a system. That has been created and designed to do just what is doing now to steal heal and destroy strong words strong neat hopeful hope waddles what how do you provide hope in the wilds now or worse going oh it is you got inhumane conditions where you cant tear a facility down and rebuild it overnight so what needs to happen now is truckloads of help the wholesome food. Chicken fish the books and then some out and used to go in and state officials to give an encourage an uplifting message that we hear you loud and clear give us a minute but if you walk in and theyre laying on concrete. Need a mattress and a pillow piece of chicken and a pizza wont some sad that theyre going to need a mattress a pillow and a blanket. Most definitely product i want to take definite data needs to be accountability all there has to be accountability and we need to see it fast because there are people suffering right now and fredricka what were formes do you feel incarcerated People Living in mississippi need immediately right now to help stop this crisis from continuing and what can we do right now to help these people. We 1st thing go move us claim a prayer of lead to prayer their asses off and i also believe it would a person with the costs really well over a period of time where 1. 00 sees relief you need to have a place to go to. Walk into to have to go back to uproot as you know out of them prove to you our state of the 16 years. I gather momentum or of of money and i have a choice whether or not to return but i hear some people to surrounded me if me alone john and i think the state of mississippi still asleep in my crew the sister moment that we met discoursed been a moment from me in the Program People from beaumont to to proves. Thats very brilliant actually thats all we should be looking at i want to ask you this given the overall failure of the u. S. Prison system should we as a country start looking at alternatives to incarceration what do you feel are better forms of rehabilitation you know should we do away with the prison system as it exists today in the United States and find something better. Yes we definitely need outearning to fail prison system but youd need to prison system to prison prisons were created the hard core criminals now is not for corrective they but for punitive behavior we just keep punishing and then we need to revisit and look at how we are. Do victims we keep victims ever to have a person is eligible for parole go up of parole out the victims that were already and we keep people at a place oh is it in home heart and we just keep revisiting we keep stirring in a place that has already been there has already created damage and havoc and destruction and started to end a lot of victims now are now a part of the system because they havent been dealt with in a restored it. Restored of their rehabilitative place with the offender in order to get to help the place so much and they have to be free and pulled them away from their place of our ways revisit in the heart and pain that was created by someone you know they take them to deep a place of hurt and. While the howard hawks classic 1950 s. Film book thing taught us to keep watching the skies diligent u. F. O. Research years today tell
