A SENSELESS MURDER


Editorial

How to Eliminate Gangs and Violence

When it looked like Riverside East Side got rid of the racial problems that hit the area in the past between some Blacks and Hispanics, violence erupted again on February 23, 2012, when a good and clean 14 years old black student was shot to death close to his home on Georgia Street.  Lareanz Simmons was a Poly High School freshman and member of the ROTC Program. He was a good kid, loved by everybody.

The good people who live in the East Side, blacks as well and Hispanics and White, are living under terror. They care especially for their young boys and girls who have to walk going to school or other places.

This situation has to stop in our beautiful town!

There is no room for violence in our City. Much less, violence due to racial hatred.

This is a social problem, an stupid social conflict between people who should be united to fight poverty, injustice, and lack of future. This horrible and bloody urban war is possible because legislators have skipped their duties with society.

Just to be a member of a gang should be enough reason for a severe punishment. It is an understatement to say that gang membership equals to crime: murder, drugs, violence. Police knows where they hide, but they have their hands tied up because of lack of legislation and the presence of a tolerance system with criminals.

It really makes you mad, when you hear that criminals are being released from prisons because there are not sufficient numbers of those facilities. Why didn't our federal and state government prevent such status? Why didn't they use the money for that important issue, instead to spend it in much less necessities? The safety of the citizens should be a priority!

Years ago, during the Riverside Police command of Chief Russ Leach, the Riverside County District Attorney sought a gang injunction against the East Side Rivas gang, which it made its members to disperse. Then, some Hispanics activists complained that law abiding residents were target by law enforcement agents. Well, there is a saying, no matter what you do, right or wrong, you are always "wrong."

We need legislation to make gang membership illegal. We need the construction of more prisons. We need to take more care of the poor areas. We need to convert hatred in love and wisdom. We have to work harder with parents.

The good citizens of Riverside deserve to live in peace!

Our deep condolences to the family and friends of Lareanz Simmons. We share their pain. The family decided to donor Larenz's organs, to save other people's lives.

Lareanz's family has established a trust fund to accept donations for medical expenses and funeral costs: Stuart and Simmons Donations, Bank of America Account 0621618929.

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE U.S. NEEDS


" I'm not concerned about the very poor."

This is what the Republican candidate Mitt Romney told CNN on February 1, 2012.


Mitt Romney policy proposals make clear that he also isn't very concerned about the middle class - his tax plan provides a modest tax cut, about $167, for middle class families but provides about $146,000 for families making more than $1 million.

LACK OF BRAINS


ORGANIZERS OF
CITY EVENTS.
"We are ashamed
of ourselves."

The City of Riverside has progressed immensely, thanks to our leaders and the input of the private sector. But something is broken that has to be fixed: The public relations between most of those who organize events and the press. In most of the cases they don't invite the press, losing free publicity and promotions and credit. These types of administrative and dumb behaviours don't help the City at all.

THE START OF THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT


While violent or pacific confrontations have been taken place in New York and in many other cities of the U.S. between the Occupy Movement and Police, the roots of the unrests are based on political and social discontent mostly from those who are unemployed, vagrants, and Communists who always intervene in chaotic situations.


Members of the Occupy Movement refer to it as an international protest, which is primarily directed against economic and social inequality.

The Movement started in Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, on July 30, 2011, with Occupy Dataran, followed by New York City and San Francisco on September 17, 2011. Wall Street and San Francisco were occupied, and the Movement expanded to 95 cities across 82 countries and over 600 communities in the U.S.  But since 20 years ago, Vancouver Magazine has been encouraging rebellion and sabotage against Black Friday and setting the stage for the Occupy Movement.  The name Evan Samuel Heimlich has been single out as one of the main leaders of the Movement, but without confirmation.

By November 17, 2011, close to 2,600 towns and cities were "occupied." Vancouver is in the province British Columbia, Canada.

The movement was initiated by the Canadian group Adbuster (from the magazine with the same name)  and partly inspired by the Arab Spring in Cairo's Tahrir Square and Spanish "Indignants." They used the slogan 99% symbolizing the victims of the present situation.

One of the inspirations for the movement was the Democratic Village set up in 2010, outside the British Parliament in London. They received additional attention when the Internet group Anonymous encouraged its followers to take part in the protests, calling them to set up kitchens in lower Manhattan. Kallen Lasn, long time editor of Adbuster---considered the Carl Marx of the Occupy Movement---has long believed that "Wall Street and vast corporate wealth have sent the US into what he calls, 'terminal decline.'''

As stated, this is a Movement that cannot be ignored because the great amount of followers, some of them becoming very violent. Sooner or later people are going to die, protesters or police members, and we'll be involved in a very serious social unrest, which will make the economy worse, as it is already happening because the revolts, which are costing billions of dollars.


Since the start of civilization there have been always those who have and those who don't have, plus those in the middle. The American Revolution had its origin because the English economic strangulation on Americans. The Russian Revolution was the result of the Czars abuses against the people. So, the French Revolution and so many more. Recently, Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.

The Communist thesis of  "equality" is a joke. Not even God made us equal. Some bigger than others, people with different skin colors, some more intelligent than others, some good workers and others lazies. The word equality is just that, a word.

But this doesn't mean we cannot find a way to make life more fair for humanity. We have touched this subject before and have proposed many times the legal mandate of PROFIT SHARING. Then corporation and proprietors could avoid the sinking of the world society. Why some big corporations don't have their fair share to pay taxes?

It would be unjust to blame President Obama for the present crisis, taking power with two wars going on and the debacle allowed by ex President Bush, who, even being advised of the coming financial storms many times, he didn't impose regulation in the housing industry, favoring Walls Street and his billionaires friends.

Let's be just and truthful. Yes, this world is hungry for Social Justice. But we regret violence. There are other ways to achieve it. Mahatma Gandhi did it in India.

It is legal, Constitutional, to protest, but peacefully. Liberty has limitations by laws, and laws have to be respected and obeyed.

THE MARVELS CREATED BY GOD

These beautiful photos taken during the Autumn season,
that started in September 23,
  were sent to The Truth Publication Online by
Riverside Council lady Nancy Hart. The one above is
in Holland, the other in Scotland. Who cannot

believe in God looking at these pictures?

Let's humans understand that there is a Great Creator, that the lives of each one of us have a purpose while we are in this planet. Sooner or later, we all are going to get together somewhere; so, why don't we try
to do justice in this world and get along?  A better distribution of the earth' resources would be a good start. The great gap between those who have and those who don't is increasing every year. This has to be stopped, or we all are going together to lose everything. The way we are going now, the middle class is on the way to disappear. Then, "Adios Lola."

Inflation and financial abuses are destroying America. The Truth Publication is a firm believer in Profit Sharing, which should be a law. Corporations and all profitable business should share some of the revenues that were impossible to make without the sweat of the workers. There won't peace and justice on earth while people are dying of hunger in Somalia and poker gamblers bet $500,000 in one hand. There is something very wrong there. Remember the Titanic: Rich, Middle, and poor sank.

In Spanish and English: When Love Arrives


Believe it or not, The Truth enjoys many bilingual readers. Today, we would like to please both Spanish and English friends, especially those who love poetry in the Cervantes language.


This poem was the inspiration of our publisher, after a very pleasant experience.

Créalo o no, The Truth se enorgullece en contar con muchos lectores de habla hispana. Hoy, quisiéramos dedicarle a éllos este poema que fue inspirado por nuestro director después de haber experimentado una muy agradable experiencia.


Llegaste a mí en la oscuridad de la noche
para iluminar mi alma yerta en el desierto.
Fue así todo, de repente.
Saltó mi corazón del pecho
como un río que desborda su corriente.
¿Estaría yo soñando? ¿Estaría yo despierto?
¿Qué siento? No puedo contarlo al viento.
Es un misterio.
Es que pienso que te quiero.
No me preguntes, perdón, te ruego.
Será tu voz, será tu pelo,
Será el glamor de tu sonrisa
que acaricia mi alma con su brisa.
No comprendo. Sólo siento.
¡Es que siento que te quiero!

___________________


More or less says in English:

You came to me in the darkness of the night,
to illuminate my dead soul in the desert.
It was so sudden, so fast,
my heart broke off from my chest
as the current of a river overflows.
Was I dreaming? Was I awaken?
What do I feel?  I cannot tell it to the winds.
It is a mystery.
I think it is because I love you.
Don't ask me, I beg you.
It could be your voice, you hair
It could be the glamor your smile
cherishing my soul with its breeze.
I don't understand it. I only feel it.
It is that I feel I love you!
