Put Hitler in Context...Oliver Stone

Just a song and dance man, and he could hang wall paper...

..."Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times' website. more...

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media." So he is going to make a miniseries. That will explain it all.

Like Hitler, Olive Stone is out of touch with reality, but we've known that since "JFK".

As a holocaust denier will he now be denied entry into Germany?

Rule by Mob

What does bussing do? It closes schools. Growing up in the city of Chicago in a time more conducive to excellence, we had no bussing. We excelled and didn't blame everyone for our lank of good grades. In Raleigh, the NAACP rallies for what they claim will lead to resegregation. It is obvious that they have not been to a school. the children already segregate themselves. "...Diversity is a tool of racial and economic justice," (NAACP state chapter President) Barber said. "We know that diversity of our schools makes our schools stronger..." No Reverend, what makes a strong school is students willing to learn, parental involvement, the lack of drugs, and violence. Understand that when these are not available to students their parents will either homeschool or send their children to private schools. You are dragging the minority children down with this gimme more rhetoric.

Raleigh, N.C. — "Our children are being used as tools of division, " proclaimed NAACP state chapter President Rev. William Barber in a passionate speech Tuesday in downtown Raleigh.

Leaders of the North Carolina NAACP and African Methodist Episcopal Zion Churches of the eastern district spoke out to encourage other civic, religious, parent and student groups take part in a mass demonstration against the planned policy change that they say will lead to resegregated schools in Wake County.

The group is protesting the school board’s decision earlier this year to move away from a system where students are bused to help balance socio-economic diversity across the school system in favor of assigning students closer to home.

"Diversity is a tool of racial and economic justice," Barber said. "We know that diversity of our schools makes our schools stronger."

Barber has called the plan a "public emergency" and said he won't stop fighting the board's "morally wrong" decision.

The Wake school system's assignment plan – which used socio-economic status to assign students to schools across the county – became a national model for districts looking to achieve balance in student populations without violating a 2007 Supreme Court decision that limits the use of race in how students are assigned.

The five board members who voted to end the policy argue there are better ways to achieve diversity in schools. They favor keeping Wake's nearly 140,000 students as close to home as possible.

"If this school board was serious about student achievement, the five of them would leave diversity alone," Barber said, in referring to the board majority who are backing the policy change.

"We have better things to put our minds to than to deal with where this crowd is going to take us, but we have to stand up to them," he said.

Barber was followed Rev. Nancy E. Petty, pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, Yvonne Brannon, chairwoman of Great Schools in Wake Coalition, some Wake County students and members of the state General Baptist State Convention.

Each speaker ended with a call for supporters to gather at 10 a.m. July 20 at the Convention Center for a mass protest in advance of the scheduled meeting of the Wake County Board of Education that day.

Dancers arrested for indecent exposure

Topless dancers charged with indecent exposure
6 arrested, 10 sought for removing bottoms in investigation of Charlotte strip clubs.

Women charged and sought
ABC agents say they have arrested and charged these women with indecent exposure:
Amanda Ammons (Crazy Horse)
Robin Brown (Baby Dolls)
Brittney Delcont (Paper Doll)
Rebecca Kirkpatrick (Crazy Horse)
Christina Pierce (Gentlemen's Club)
Jessica Smith (Paper Doll)

Arrest warrants for indecent exposure have been filed for these women, who have not been located:
Falon Cooksey (Gold Club)
Tina Debe (Crazy Horse)
Tisha Grimes (Gold Club)
Alyssa Jones (Gentlemen's Club)
Fae Kane (Uptown Cabaret)
Alita Lingerfelt (Gentlemen's Club)
Katherine Merriweather (Leather & Lace South)
Joana Smith (Leather & Lace South)
April Williams (Leather & Lace North)
Shirley Williams (Leather & Lace North)

Authorities have arrested six women and were looking for 10 more Thursday night in an investigation of indecent exposure at Charlotte strip clubs, Alcohol Beverage Control officials say.

All 16 topless dancers are charged with violating a state law that, while allowing topless dancing, prohibits dancers at the adult clubs from performing naked.

"They know that they're not allowed to expose themselves and they did," said Michael Crowley of Mecklenburg's ABC commission. "You're not allowed to remove your bottom."

The recent arrests follow a six-month undercover investigation into eight adult-entertainment clubs, including the city's two Leather & Lace clubs, Uptown Cabaret on Morehead Street, and the Gentlemen's Club on Woodlawn Road, just off Interstate 77. Most of the clubs involved are operated by M.A.L. entertainment, a company owned by Charlotte businessman David "Slim" Baucom.

Crowley said the women removed all of their clothes during table dances on the main floor and in semi-private areas, roped off for customers who pay extra for special dances.

Club employees usually monitor those areas closely, Crowley said. But the investigation found no evidence that owners or managers had encouraged the women's actions, he said, and criminal charges against them were unlikely.

Agents said Baucom cooperated with authorities and provided the real names of some of his dancers.

Baucom and his club managers declined comment Thursday, and the owner of the Uptown Cabaret couldn't immediately be reached.

Chris Fall, owner of the Paper Doll Lounge on Wilkinson Boulevard, said the women from his club denied that they removed all of their clothing.

Fall is upset about the charges, saying the investigation is a waste of taxpayer money, particularly in tight financial times.

"The government, they're bad on money and they're coming after us," Fall said. "Paying (agents) to go to strip clubs... and have a good time."

He said the arrests have hurt his business: "Why run all the business off? You're supposed to be helping businesses, not hurting businesses."

The clubs could face disciplinary action by the state ABC commission, which controls licensing for businesses that sell alcohol.

The investigation was conducted by an ABC agent and a Pineville police officer, who visited adult clubs to see if managers and entertainers were following state laws. Such probes are undertaken periodically, authorities said, and the investigation was not prompted by complaints or evidence of a growing problem.

Crowley compared the operation to other ABC stings, in which the commission sends minors into gas stations and grocery stores to try and buy alcohol and cigarettes.

"We want to make sure that these adult entertainment establishments are following the law," Crowley said. "That's our job."

This operation took six months, tough work if you can get it.

Al Gore Accused of Sexual Assault, Inconvienent

By Tiffany McGee

Thursday June 24, 2010 10:45 AM EDT

An Oregon masseuse filed a complaint last year accusing Al Gore of sexual abuse following a nearly three-hour massage session at an upscale Portland hotel in 2006, reports the Portland Oregonian.

The alleged incident took place at the Hotel Lucia Oct. 24, after the masseuse, 54, was called by the hotel to administer a late night massage to a "VIP" client, who was later identified as Gore, 62, the former U.S. Vice President, senator from Tennessee and Nobel Prize-winning advocate for the environment.

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office in Portland confirmed Wednesday that the woman reported unwanted sexual contact by Gore to police in 2006, and the prosecutor’s office was briefed by the Portland Police Bureau in late 2006 and January 2007.

"We were told the woman was not willing to be interviewed by the Portland Police Bureau and did not want a criminal investigation to proceed," Multnomah County D.A. Michael Schrunk said. The woman was reportedly considering suing Gore before last month approaching the National Enquirer, asking for $1 million for her story.

The unidentified woman, who has been a masseuse for 12 years, filed the accusations Jan. 8, 2009, alleging Gore, who checked into the hotel as Mr. Stone and was 30 minutes late for his 10:30 p.m. in-room appointment, sexually assaulted her in his hotel room by forcing repeated, unwanted sexual touches.

"He pleaded, groped me, grabbed me, engulfed me in embrace, tongue kissed me, massaged me, grabbed my breasts," the woman says in her detailed complaint to Portland police officers and posted by the Fox 12 Oregon TV station.

At one point, she says Gore pinned her down, resulting in an injury to her left leg and knee, and which required medical care for several months.

Gore, she says, was so persistent that she called him a "sex-crazed poodle" for being "out of control."

The woman, who says she notified two friends following Gore's alleged groping, also saved the black pants she wore after discovering stains following the session. Since the alleged incident, the masseuse says she has been traumatized, has trouble sleeping at night, and that her work has been "more stressful and frightening since the incident." She is also seeing a specialized counselor.

The woman, who did not respond to several attempted follow-up interviews with police, revealed in the complaint that she grappled with her decision to come forward – even consulting with attorneys – but ultimately decided to do so to protect other women who may have experienced the same trauma.

She told detectives she only wanted "justice" and that her complaint was not an attempt to receive money.

Gore family spokeswoman Kalee Kreider told the Oregonian that the former Vice President has no comment regarding the allegations. After 40 years of marriage, Gore and his wife, Tipper, announced their separation June 1. The Gores also had no comment for PEOPLE.

Duke lacrosse investigator arrested on Delaware charges

Linwood Wilson, former investigator to Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong in the Duke Lacrosse case, was arrested Thursday evening.

Durham County Sheriff's deputies made the arrest at the request of authorities in Delaware, where Wilson was wanted on cyberstalking and obscenity charges related to a domestic-violence incident, said Durham County Sheriff's Department Major Paul Martin.

The Delaware warrant was issued June 10, he said.

Durham deputies made the arrest at Wilson's home about 6 p.m., Martin said. Wilson was taken to the Durham County jail and released on an unsecured $1,000 bond.

Wilson is named in several pending lawsuits stemming from the 2006 Duke lacrosse case, in which three players were accused of rape. The charges were subsequently dropped and the players declared innocent by N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper.
