~mindblowingly awesome~: Seeing Naomi Campbell As We Do Not Usually See Her →
1. Seeing the darker skin at Naomi Campbell’s joints is the reason for this post.
2. Here Naomi Campbell communicates some feeling / atmosphere / affect that fabulous and fierce Naomi Campbell is not usually invited to communicate.
3. This is skin usually evened out for…
This is not the type of thing I usually reblog, but #5 made me want to throw-up and cry at the same time.

Super Moon
— June 23, 2013
Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.
These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.lots of space from Earth things today :D
One cycle from today.
“The night they drove old Dixie down,” The Band
Damn it, this song is so good yet so problematic.
Can’t tell if it’s more or less problematic when you consider it was written by a Native Canadian.

Zuleikha does it better and no one ever notices (probably because when she posts a pic of herself it only stays up for a day or two).

…[some] may not remember what made Iran-Contra such an extraordinary scandal. The Reagan administration “raised money privately” by selling weapons to a sworn enemy of the United States. Why? Because it wanted to fund an illegal war in Nicaragua. And when I say “illegal war,” I mean that quite literally—Congress told the Reagan administration, in no uncertain terms, that Reagan could not send money to the Contras. Period. The Reagan administration, unrestrained by laws and the Constitution, did so anyway, and much of the president’s national security team ended up under indictment.
more.
Reagan knew everything. However, I bet this Time magazine piece doesn’t get into the juiciest part of Iran-Contra, which is that in the 1980s the CIA put into operation a crack cocaine pipeline to import narcotics from Central and South America and distribute it in US inner cities. This is not a “conspiracy theory”, this is a documented conspiracy, most rigorously researched and reported by Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Gary Webb, whose series in the San Jose Mercury News and subsequent book “Dark Alliance” literally got him killed. To me, that’s the story of Iran-Contra: not that Reagan sold weapons to Iran, but that the US government imported and sold crack to Black America, as part of an arms and drugs trade which funded war in the Third World and which devastated lives and filled prisons in the USA.

Great documentary that connects it all.
You are living under a war. Not just the war on “terror”, but the war on drugs. And if you don’t understand what that means, you’re missing a very large piece of the big picture (the big picture being reality).
Further evidence of Reagan’s greatness and how he was undermined by a meddling, democratic congress, determined to keep him on their liberal leash. The man should have been a made a king and by now it would be the United Wold of America, on nation, under Ron, with liberty and fraternity for all of God’s beautiful, white, children.]( http://24.media.tumblr.com/9745d96274c257550523597f049fc6dc/tumblr_mmugto6Erl1qcwnv4o1_500.jpg)
