Google Doodle Honors America Hating Al Qaeda Sympathizer


Sandra Oh reads Yuri Kochiyama

By William Hicks | 2:08 pm, May 19, 2016

Todays largeGoogle doodle honorsthe late Japanese-Americanactivist Yuri Kochiyama, whom Wikipedia calls one of the few prominent non-black black separatists. And while the Washington Postlauded her for her fierce sense of patriotism, some of her past quotes say otherwise.

Like thefact that Kochiyama, who died in 2014 in her 90s,expressed admiration for Osama bin Laden.

Im glad that you are curious why I consider Osama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire. To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro, all leaders that I admire. They had much in common. Besides being strong leaders who brought consciousness to their people, they all had severe dislike for the US government and those who held power in the US. I think all of them felt the US government and its spokesmen were all arrogant, racist, hypocritical, self-righteous, and power hungry.

She didntcare what Americans feel about bin Laden, as the U.S government is loathsome.

bin Laden has been primarily fighting US dominance even when he received money from the US when he was fighting in Afghanistan. He was fighting for Islam and all people who believe in Islam, against westerners, especially the USeven when he was fighting against the RussiansI do not care what the US government or Americans feelI think its shameful what this government has done from the beginning of its racist, loathsome history.

Here she is linking terrorism to capitalism

As for imperialism, which is a policy of extending power and control, and usually by military force and hegemony, the government of the United States is the best example. Imperialism, terrorism and war go hand in hand. But it begins with capitalism, private ownership and profit-making.

Kochiyamawas also a friend of Assata Shakur, a black separatist who was convicted of murdering a New Jersey state trooper before escaping a U.S. prison and finding asylum in Cuba. According to Wikipedia, Kochiyama compared Shakur to Malcom X and convicted cop-killerMumia Abu Jamal. Kochiyama was also a supporter of the Shining Path, which terrorized Peru in the 1980s.

Not s on show! Bella Hadid seemed to be overcome with sartorial shyness when she stepped out in the French Riviera town the following evening

Just 24 hours earlier the 19-year-old beauty stole the show in an extremely racy red Alexandre Vauthier silk wrap gown, which showed off every inch of her frame while exhibiting her choice to forgo underwear.

But she traded this approach for a much more formal choice, which instead saw her sport a floor-length gown in deep navy blue.

Covering her legs and much of her cleavage, it was quite the contrast.

What a difference a day makes: Bella pictured in her latest look (L) and in her daring dress on Wednesday (R)

The only remotely-revealing detail of her latest look was the backless design, but even this covered the small of her reverse.

Boasting a halter-neck feature, it also featured a a flowing skirt with some modest lace trim along the sides.

She teamed the look with an oversized ring, a matching necklace and earrings.

The amfAR fundraiser, which raises money for AIDs research, will see the likes of Katy Perry perform for the A-list crowd, while Adriana Lima will co-chair the event.

After posing up a storm on the red carpet, the celebrities make their way into a lavish dinner which is followed by a no expense spared auction, with last year"s event raising a staggering $30 million.

The event, which takes place just outside of Cannes, will also feature Kirsten Dunst, Vanessa Paradis and Donald Sutherland who are serving as chairs for the Cannes Film Festival Jury.

You Missed A Sinister "Breaking Bad" Callback On "Better Call Saul"


A Look at Season 2: Better Call Saul

You couldn"t have had a better callback, "Saul."

Season 2 of the "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul," which premiered Monday night, has Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) showing flashes of his future alter ego, Saul Goodman. After initially rejecting a cushy job at the law firm Davis & Maine, Odenkirk"s character enlists Kim (Rhea Seehorn) to help him run a scam on a stock trader, tricking him into buying them expensive shots of tequila.

The scam brings the pair closer together, but eventually they abandon the rotten streak and McGill decides to take the law firm job. Sorry, no Saul Goodman after all. (He does flip a switch that says "Do not turn off," though. Yeah, pretty badass.) Still,while McGill was "breaking bad," there was a sneaky callback to the original show that you might"ve missed.

First, take a look at that stock trader that got scammed. Recognize him from anywhere?

AMC

That"s Ken, the same guy who stole Walter White"s parking space in "Breaking Bad." It"s cool, though. Mr. White eventually blew up his car, so they"re all square.

But the Easter egg gets even better. Now, check out that tequila they made Ken buy ...

That"s Zafiro Aejo. "Better Call Saul" creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould confirmed on AMC"s live aftershow "Talking Saul" that it"s the same type of tequila Gus poisoned in "Breaking Bad," causing the deaths of Eladio Vuente and other members of the Jurez Cartel.

"Talking Saul" host Chris Hardwick also asked Gilligan if the name Zafiro Aejo was related to blue meth, which the writer also confirmed.

"Sapphire in Spanish, Zafiro Aejo, yeah," said Gilligan.

We salute all your "Breaking Bad" Easter eggs, sirs. Cheers to you guys.

"Better Call Saul" airs Mondays at 10:00 p.m. ET on AMC.

"Breaking Bad" references in "Better Call Saul"

Mike"s love for Pimento

In one of the more light-hearted nods, viewers were reminded of Mike"s consistency when he revealed his snack of choice for his security job in episode nine, a throwback to series four of "BB.

The key fob

You can always rely on Reddit users to spot the most obscure details, can"t you? Here"s Walt"s key,. in the "BB" finale, and Jimmy"s in the first "Better Call Saul" episode. Sadly, the jury"s out what this tiny symbol could mean.

Heisenberg"s coat and hat?

This could be a case of getting over-zealous in the hunt for clues, but this coat and hat hanging up in the courthouse look an awful lot like Heisenberg"s outfit.

The Kevin Costner story

In series 3 of "Breaking Bad", viewers saw Saul telling Walt he could achieve anything, concluding with: "I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it." Well, in the final episode of the series, we finally got to see the woman who fell for Saul"s trick.

Juan Tabo

Juan Tabo Boulevard is a pretty huge street in Albuquerque, but nothing happens in a Vince Gilligan show by accident. Jimmy"s address - where a real-life nail salon actually sits - is also the road that the one-time meth cook Gael Boetticher resided on. It also popped up in the first episode of "BCS", when the two skateboarders attempted their scam.

The phonebox graffiti

Like many other scenes, this one at first seemed void of "BB" nods - but could the "Jpi" be Jesse Pinkman"s graffiti tag?The youngster would be around 15 years old in the "BCS" world, and while it might seem like we"re stretching things, the tag also appeared in an episode of "Breaking Bad". Hmmm...

The Cadillac

One of the show"s first scenes sees Jimmy, a struggling wannabe, park next to this Cadillac. The link? This is the car Saul goes on to own, once he"s finally on top (and a fully-fledged dodgy lawyer...).

Loyola"s

Jimmy"s meeting place of choice with the Kettlemans also appeared in "Breaking Bad", when Mike ate with Jesse, and then later met Lydia for a business meeting.

Slippin" Jimmy fits in with Saul"s dodgy knees

Obviously, when "Breaking Bad" was created, the team had no idea that they"d later be working on "Better Call Saul". Writer Thomas Schnauz has revealed how some aspects of Jimmy developed, revealing that they remembered Saul"s arrest scene while thinking about Slippin" Jimmy. "We thought he must have taken a lot of bad hits on the ice of Chicago and he probably messed up his knees falling down all the time," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "When we did it in Breaking Bad, we didn"t have a reason that he had bad knees, but it"s nice when we can tie those threads together."

Missouri football players defend Maty Mauk amid video controversy


Missouri Quarterback Maty Mauk Faces Indefinite Suspension

COLUMBIA A day after Missouri redshirt junior quarterback Maty Mauk was suspended indefinitely by the Missouri athletics department, members of the Missouri football team and Mauks father have come to his defense.

It started with redshirt junior linebacker Michael Scherer, who gave his support via Twitter around 10 a.m. Tuesday.

"Maty has been doing everything he can to be a better person," Scherer said. "No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes."

Redshirt freshman wide receiver Kenyon Dilosa and redshirt junior defensive lineman Harold Brantley were among a number of other players who tweeted. The other players were in agreement that the video, which appears to show Mauk snorting a white substance, is old and that Mauk has been working to improve himself.

This is the third time in the past six months the Ohio native has been suspended fromthe team.

Mauks father, Mike Mauk, said Tuesday that he did not know how old the video was, but said his son has been "absolutely" clean since he was reinstated from his second suspension in December.

"I don"t really think there"s anything he"s going to say about it until we take care of things that we need to inside," Mike Mauk said.

Former Missouri offensive lineman Connor McGovern told SECCountry.com, a blog that works in conjunction with the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, that Mauks suspension is due to "bad luck." McGovern played with Mauk at Missouri for three seasons. He and former Missouri center Evan Boehm are in Mobile, Alabama, for the Senior Bowl.

"Hes got some things to fix that are bigger than football," McGovern said. "He doesnt make the best decisions all the time, but nobody does. He just happens to be a quarterback that makes some poor decisions and seems to get caught whenever he makes a bad decision. Theres a lot of people here, Im sure, that have made poor decisions. They just didnt get caught doing it."

The Missouri athletics department has yet to address Mauks status with the team since announcing the suspension Monday via a joint statement from Athletics Director Mack Rhoades and football coach Barry Odom. Mauk is listed as a student in the Missouri student directory, but the MU Registrars Office said Tuesday it cannot divulge information on whether or not a student is still enrolled at MU.

Missouri suspends QB Maty Mauk as it investigates alleged drug video


Missouri Quarterback Maty Mauk Faces Indefinite Suspension

UPDATE 11:29 A.M.

One of Maty Mauks teammates on the Missouri football team told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the video of Mauk appearing to snort a white powder is two years old and that the Tigers quarterback has since addressed his drug problem.

The teammate asked not to be identified by the Post-Dispatch, telling the paper that Mauk has been really turning things around since the end of the season and has been clean for a while.

The Post-Dispatch also reports, via multiple sources, that Missouri suspended Mauk for the first time last September because he failed a drug test.

The team suspected hed been using drugs and administered the test, leading to his suspension announced Sept. 29, Dave Matter writes.

ORIGINAL POST

Missouri has suspended quarterback Maty Mauk for the third time in four months after a video of someone who closely resembles Mauk snorting a white powder was released online.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch was first to report the news.

We are currently gathering information regarding the video in question. This is an issue we take very seriously and one that will not be tolerated within our program. We will take the appropriate actions once we have all the facts. In the interim, Maty Mauk has been indefinitely suspended for the Mizzou football program, Missouri Athletic Director Mack Rhoades and Coach Barry Odom said in a statement that was released less than two hours after the video was posted.

Mauk, a fourth-year junior in 2015, played just four games last season after being named to the SEC all-freshman team in 2013 and starting all 14 games in 2014. He was suspended twice, once for violating team rules and then again after he was briefly reinstated. According to the Post-Dispatch, the second suspension was the result of a drunken dispute Mauk had outside a bar in Columbia, Mo.

Odom, the Tigers defensive coordinator last season who was promoted to head coach after Gary Pinkels retirement, reinstated Mauk in December and said he was expected to compete for the teams starting quarterback spot in spring practice.

In 2013, Mauk was arrested on four misdemeanor traffic offenses after he struck two parked vehicles while riding his motor scooter. Mauk and two female passengers fled the scene, later refusing to pull over and running a stop sign.

After spending the first 17 years of his Post career writing and editing, Matt and the printed paper had an amicable divorce in 2014. He"s now blogging and editing for the Early Lead and the Post"s other Web-based products.
