**********
Gag me with Gaga certainly tells all kinds of tales and as was mentioned in these blogs many times over the years, we are approaching comic farce on a cosmic level. Gaga's popularity is largely the result of a certain Tribe agenda; like Madonna. The most obvious sign of police state activity manifesting out of the corporate sector, which is often the case, can be seen when they mess with your ability to travel. You really know it's happening, when you see so many corollary signs happening in multiples. The same heinous interests that bring you the devil in Lady Gaga, are also working the system from the bottom up side; dead sea cosmetics must be downsizing and look for the kosher label of your tax dollars at work, all of this is off stage pushing pianos around for the grand migrations. I hate having to use the crass media to make my point. Oh right, because they own that but it isn't all of them that's up to bad shit ( a critical point to remember) and it isn't all of us and we are all of us, all of us accordingly ....

"My Sister Aafia Siddiqui

by Dr. M.K.Sherwani

The anguish and pain on your face,
Have wreaked a havoc in my heart ;

My soul is now seething with rage,
As surging waves erode the shores.

Curse be on me, but more on those,
Who are called as Kings and Heads;

Whom you may call as your brothers,
Who are under your tormentors’ shoe.

But your luck will soon see the spring,
Have patience, Oh the woman of faith!
