No problem Truthis...I've got lots of rubies...in fact I think it was me that coined the term 'rubies and emeralds'. I treasure all my 'rubies' as much or more than my 'emeralds'...means I am 'not going with the flow'...hahaha Seems you 'get it' too Truthis... I agree wholeheartedly with the rest of your post....very well said!

There ARE things we could do without firing a shot. Dog if people would simply come together, recognize the truth that our guberment has been hi-jacked... Dems and Repubs on BOTH sides of the imaginary aisle have sold us out, They Do Not Represent Us!!! We can have a revolution by saying "No...Not In MY Name!!!"..."You Do NOT Represent Me." 1) No More Illegal Fed Reserve...2) No More Illegal IRS...3) No More Illegal Elections!!! Solutions??? 1) Take back control of our currency...'The Iceland Solution'...jail the criminal banksters and guberment officials. 2) Ending the Fed Reserve's control over OUR money would also end the IRS that THEY implemented. BOTH ARE PRIVATE ENTITIES...NOT GOVERNMENT RUN...wish people recognized that! 3) Take big money out of the elections, yes that means 'Citizens (Corporations) United', stop gerrymandering boundaries, use PAPER BALLOTS,...unfortunately we won't get ANY good candidates unless and until WE all get over the stupidity of being loyal to OUR/MY party...otherwise a good INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE doesn't stand a chance, they won't get enough support even if they are the very best and have truly have all of our interest at heart.... WHY?....BECAUSE....the corporate run media told us they can't win...'they don't have the corporate polling stats'. "So keep loyal to YOUR party...so the OTHER party doesn't win". See how the game is played? This upcoming election is a joke...a total JOKE for anyone thinking there is ONE good candidate running so far.. I don't see even one worth his/her salt!!! So Yes...there are some really important things we CAN do...without firing a shot...just takes an agreement that 'we are mad as hell and we aren't going to take it anymore'. Thing is folks won't come together as long as the 'party line rope pullers' want to impose their views onto others during the revolution...that would not bring any kind of 'Freedom" in the end. We simply need to come together as the folks in Iceland did and agree to end the most important issues that are taking this country down. Overhaul the Federal guberment...get it back to the limited role of what it was supposed to do FOR US. Give power to determine the outcomes that effect our communities BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES. Then we can choose to live where ever we want...in the communities that reflect our values. My ideas may differ from yours...FINE...just don't try to choke yours down my throat!!! That isn't 'FREEDOM' in my book. PS.You know what Dog? After I typed all of this...I am thinking I may as well move to Thailand... their are too many brainwashed boneheads for anything to happen in my lifetime... It's going to take a real serious hurt-lock on the whole country for folks to actually CARE ENOUGH to actually come together and DO something. DANG!!!

Lol SocalDinar...That is about it...Dum...Dum...Dum...Dum, Dum. BTW I was born into the 'Church'...so I know this 'story' well.

Very Much Agree With Both Of You. God loves all of his creation...every child...every bird...right down to every blade of grass...

Thank You Freedomrules...Good Article...Appreciate You Bringing It In For Us. BTW I Love Your Avatar!!! 'Break Those Chains' !!!

Great Post Bandit!!! Loved Both The Article And The Video!!! Really Appreciate What You Bring In No...thank goodness...I don't have any of these signs...but it's a battle to keep them away at times. Jim and Thaiexpat...You two are wonderful for adding your excellent responses. I usually gain something new to think about and grow a little more each time...Thank You Guys.

Good post Jim... Yes it has been pretty clear to me ever since we overthrew and created all the chaos in Libya. This is all a very deliberate plan to destabilize, weaken and divide the whole region. It just gets worse and more obvious as time goes by. I despise what our government is doing in our name. I feel much responsibility for the death, destruction and displacement of millions of innocent people that has been going on. I was oblivious to it all before Libya, apathetic, busy with life. I knew the wars in Iraq were NOT adding up to the narrative we were being told but I just brushed it off since there wasn't anything I could do about it anyways. I didn't feel responsible in any way. Then it hit me last year that I am responsible too (we all are) if I choose to stay blissfully unaware and just keep going along to get along, saying nothing. It is all of our responsibility to take notice of what is done in our name, get to the truth, denounce these crimes against humanity and do everything within our collective power to stop this insanity! The truth is inconvenient but here is an excerpt and a link for anyone interested in what is coming out now... official documentation about how our tax dollars are funding, training and supporting al-CIAda and ISIS directly from the policymakers and warmongers in our government...right from their own mouths. America is Behind ISIS: Washington Confesses to Backing “Questionable Actors” in Syria Excerpt from article: "This latest attempt to overwhelm the Syrian people, its government, and its armed forces comes with several shocking revelations. Previously, veteran award-winning journalists foretold the coming conflict in Syria, warning how the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel were openly planning to use Al Qaeda as a proxy force to overthrow Syria first, then Iran and how it would unfold into a cataclysmic sectarian war. There were also signed and dated policy papers advocating the use of terrorism and the provocation of war to directly target Iran after Syria and Hezbollah had been sufficiently weakened. However, now, there is a US Department of Defense (DoD) document confirming without doubt that the so-called “Syrian opposition” is Al Qaeda, including the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS), and that the opposition’s supporters – the West, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar – specifically sought to establish safe havens in Iraq and eastern Syria, precisely where ISIS is now based. America is Behind ISIS Looking at maps recently produced by the Western media and Western policy think tanks, it can be seen clearly that Al Qaeda/ISIS is streaming out of NATO and US ally territory, forming up in these two safe havens, and aimed both at the Syrian government and Iran. Despite the Western narrative of “moderate rebels,” the West itself has been increasingly admitting that such “rebels” do not exist. They also admit that to establish “stability,” they must begin openly working with “questionable actors.” Michael O’Hanlon, a signatory of the Brookings Institution’s “Which Path to Persia?” policy paper calling for terrorism and intentional provocations to overthrow the government of Iran, stated in a USA Today op-ed titled, “Michael O’Hanlon: American boots needed in Syria,” that: In the short term, this strategy requires an acceleration of our train and equip program for Syrian opposition fighters — including perhaps a bit less puritanical approach in who we are willing to work with. Most Syrian moderates are tired of waiting for us, or already dead given our delays in helping them. So we may have to tolerate working with some questionable actors to get things started. “Working with some questionable actors,” is O’Hanlon and US policymakers’ way of saying they intend to provide open material support to terrorists, including Al Qaeda, as they’ve been covertly doing all along, and as was warned against as early as 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his article, “The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?” which explicitly stated (emphasis added): To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda. If Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists predicting verbatim the Syrian conflict and Western support for Al Qaeda terrorists years before these events unfolded, and US policymakers are now openly admitting they are willing to work with Al Qaeda isn’t convincing enough, perhaps a signed and dated Department of Defense document admitting as much is. DoD Document Admits Plot to Carve Out Safe Haven for ISIS Judicial Watch, a US-based foundation seeking “transparency” in government, released a 7 page document dated 2012, detailing the background and status of the Syrian conflict. It admits that the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda form the basis of the “opposition.” It then admits that (emphasis added): Development of the current events into proxy war: with support from Russia, China, and Iran, the regime is controlling the areas of influence along coastal territories (Tartus and Latakia), and is fiercely defending Homs, which is considered the primary transportation route in Syria. On the other hand, opposition forces are trying to control the eastern areas (Hasaka and Der Zor), adjacent to the western Iraqi provinces (Mosul and Anbar), in addition to neighboring Turkish borders. Western countries, the Gulf States and Turkey are supporting these efforts. It also admits that terrorists are entering Syria from Iraq, hardly what one could call a “civil war,” and clearly instead an invasion. The document also admits that (emphasis added): The opposition forces will try to use the Iraqi territory as a safe haven for its forces taking advantage of the sympathy of the Iraqi border population, meanwhile trying to recruit fighters and train them on the Iraqi side, in addition to harboring refugees (Syria). If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered t he strategic depth of the Shia Expansion (Iraq and Iran). That “Salafist principality” mentioned by the DoD in 2012 is of course now known as the “Islamic State.” The DoD at the time openly admitted that the opposition’s foreign sponsors supported the creation of such a principality, and clearly ISIS must have had such support to maintain its hold on vast expanses of territory in both Syria and Iraq, while propping up a military machine capable of fighting the combined forces of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Indeed, the DoD’s admissions in this document explain precisely how ISIS has been able to perpetuate its activities throughout the region – with “Western countries, the Gulf States, and Turkey” supporting these efforts. Narratives of a US “war on the Islamic State” are meant clearly to obscure this admitted and documented conspiracy, and serve as a means for US troops to directly violate Syrian airspace and territory incrementally until US forces are able to openly begin dismantling the Syrian military and government directly."

Agreed Jim...this is interesting timing isn't it? Just as NDA's laws to continue with mass surveillance and data gathering are being debated in congress. They were set to 'expire'...but they will no doubt vote to continue them for 'our safety'. smh

Lol...No Kidding Bandit. He is 'managing' the situation just as instructed.

US Jets Escort Air France Plane After Chemical Weapon Threats Mon May 25, 2015 7:25PM Air France flight 22 was screened after a phone threat. (NBC New York) Anonymous threats against a number of flights in the United States made jets escort an Air France plane to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The threats claimed there were chemical weapons aboard multiple airplanes heading for different US cities on Monday, law enforcement officials said. The FBI was looking into the 10 threats directed at airplanes, none of which have proven true so far. According to the NBC News, seven of the 10 planes have landed safely. After being escorted by two F-15s, the Air France plane was swept by the security crew on the ground. The jets followed the plane in way that the passengers cannot spot them. There were "no incidents or hazards" on Flight 22 from Paris, the FBI said in a statement. The FBI was dealing with multiple unconfirmed threats, one of which was received by the Maryland State Police McHenry Barrack, in Garrett County, regarding the flight from Paris. A senior federal official told ABC News that the tip was called in at 6:45 am local time on an untraceable line. The call was one of several others to local police across the US. A Saudi Arabian Airlines flight was among the threatened ones. NT/NT http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/05/25/412832/us-jets-chemical-weapons-threat-air-france-ny

Thank You K98...all of these losses are so very sad.

Here is another similar one... US did nothing to stop Ramadi fall to ISIL Mon May 25, 2015 11:10AM Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ Quds Force Iranian commander Major General Qassem Soleimani has slammed the United States over the recent fall of the Iraqi city of Ramadi to the Takfiri ISIL terrorist group. Soleimani, who is the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ Quds Force, said that while the Ain al-Asad air base hosting US fighter jets was very close to Ramadi, the American military forces took no action to stop the ISIL militants fighting to take over the Iraqi city. “This is not but complicity in [a] conspiracy,” he said during a Sunday gathering of the veterans of the eight-year Iraqi-imposed war against Iran in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman. “There is no will to fight the ISIL,” Soleimani said in a reference to the US-led coalition that purports to be targeting ISIL targets inside Iraq and Syria. He also described the ISIL terror group as a “great plague,” which should be countered. The group, whose members slaughter human beings in cold blood while chanting religious slogans, is a big threat, he said. On May 17, the ISIL militants managed to bring Ramadi under their control. The Popular Mobilization forces, one of the volunteer groups who have joined the Iraqi army, were dispatched to Anbar after Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi called on them to join the fight to drive the Takfiri militants out of Ramadi. Adrian Edwards, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), said on Friday that around 55,000 people had fled Ramadi since mid-May. Iraq’s former national security advisor told Press TV on Sunday that most US fighter jets deployed to bomb terrorists in the Arab country return to their bases without engaging terrorist positions. Mowaffak al-Rubaie sharply criticized the US-led airstrikes against the ISIL as ineffective, saying, "from where I sit in Baghdad, eight out of each 10" aircraft loaded with ammunition return to their bases without striking their targets. Elsewhere in his remarks, General Soleimani said, “Today, no one stands to take up the fight against this dangerous phenomenon (ISIL) but the Islamic Republic.” Since August 2014, the US and some of its allies have been conducting airstrikes against what they say are ISIL positions in Iraq. Some members of the US-led coalition also started bombarding ‘ISIL targets’ inside Syria in September last year without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate. This is while many of the countries joining the so-called anti-terror coalition, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have been the staunch supporters of the Takfiri elements. The ISIL terrorists currently control swathes of territory across Syria and Iraq. They have committed terrible atrocities in both countries, including mass executions and beheading of local residents as well as foreign nationals.

Thank You Dog...Bless Them All. What a wonderful tribute to your father..kinda choked me up a bit. RIP Maximiano Chevez,,,We Honor You And Thank You For Your Service.

Exactly Truthis...you got it in a nutshell.

Ciao Umberto...Thank YOU for bringing your article...I hadn't seen yours when I posted...so the mods combined them. Thanks to whomever it was of the mods that did that for me....that was much appreciated. Isn't this just pure insanity? Trying the same thing over and over and hoping for different results? Also...I noticed that they are training these "moderates" in Aleppo as well as in Turkey,Saudi and Qatar...that is in Syria!! So we are not only bombing the infrastructure in Syria, but now we have American 'trainers' there and are providing the militants with 'air cover' too? I know the article said our guys are training them in Turkey...but it's hard to believe the CIA/Military isn't right there with them in Syria. In the words of John McCain "Oh I am in constant communication with them (ISIS)" compliments of Fox Neuz. Since our soldiers said "Oh hell no...I did not enlist in the military to go to Syria and fight alongside ISIS"... it looks like this is plan B...train and arm proxy 'moderate' (terrorist) to do their bidding. Just another undeclared war, more deaths and more lies. The white ISIS flags are a nice touch though...aren't they? <sarcasm>

Good to see you Roth...I always appreciate your take on things... Yes...from the beginning there was something real stinky about this whole thing... jailing most of the people there (170 out of 200) with a million dollars bail was the icing on the cake...smh. Were the other 30 'bikers' planted there to provoke the whole incident? I wouldn't put it past them...this feels totally 'staged' for the media to run with.

Thanks Jim Good Post...I love the 'Iceland Solution'!!! ICELANDERS OVERTHREW CORRUPT GOVERNMENT AND REWROTE CONSTITUTION BANNING ROTHSCHILD ZIONIST BANKING FRAUD - NO WORD FROM US MEDIA. Looks like Hungary is following Iceland's model... Hungary Kills The Rothschild Banks: Ordered To Vacate Country. Hungary is making history of the first order along with Iceland & Russia. Not since the 1930s in Germany has a major European country dared to escape from the clutches of the Rothschild-controlled international banking cartels. This is stupendous news that should encourage nationalist patriots worldwide to increase the fight for freedom from financial tyranny. Already in 2011, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán promised to serve justice on his socialist predecessors, who sold the nation’s people into unending debt slavery under the lash of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the state of Israel. Those earlier administrations were riddled with Israelis in high places, to the fury of the masses, who finally elected Orbán’s Fidesz party in response. Hungary’s Orban & Russia’s Putin ISRAEL SENDS UKRAINE NAZIS ASSAULT WEAPONS AFTER OBAMA SENDS NETANYAHU $40 BILLION FOR MILITARY ARMAMENT 4/2015 According to a report on the German-language website “National Journal,” Orbán has now moved to unseat the usurers from their throne. The popular, nationalistic prime minister told the IMF that Hungary neither wants nor needs further “assistance” from that proxy of the Rothschild-owned Federal Reserve Bank. No longer will Hungarians be forced to pay usurious interest to private, unaccountable central bankers Instead, the Hungarian government has assumed sovereignty over its own currency and now issues money debt free, as it is needed. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. The nation’s economy, formerly staggering under deep indebtedness, has recovered rapidly and by means not seen since Germany. The Hungarian Economic Ministry announced that it has, thanks to a “disciplined budget policy,” repaid on August 12, 2013, the remaining €2.2B owed to the IMF—well before the March 2014 due date. Orbán declared: “Hungary enjoys the trust of investors,” by which is not meant the IMF, the Fed or any other tentacle of the Rothschild financial empire. Rather, he was referring to investors who produce something in Hungary for Hungarians and cause true economic growth. This is not the “paper prosperity” of plutocratic pirates, but the sort of production that actually employs people and improves their lives. With Hungary now free from the shackles of servitude to debt slavers, it is no wonder that the president of the Hungarian central bank, operated by the government for the public welfare and not private enrichment, has demanded that the IMF close its offices in that ancient European land. In addition, the state attorney general, echoing Iceland’s efforts, has brought charges against the last three previous prime ministers because of the criminal amount of debt into which they plunged the nation. The only step remaining, which would completely destroy the power of the banksters in Hungary, is for that country to implement a barter system for foreign exchange, as existed in Germany under the National Socialists and exists today in the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, or BRICS, international economic coalition. And if the United States would follow the lead of Hungary, Americans could be freed from the usurers’ tyranny and likewise hope for a return to peaceful prosperity. Rothschild Too Big To Jail?

Turkey, US To Provide Air Cover For Syria Militants Mon May 25, 2015 1:58PM Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu (© AFP) Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says there is a principal agreement between his country and the United States over providing air protection for the militants operating inside Syria. Speaking in an exclusive interview with English-language newspaper Daily Sabah on Monday, Cavusoglu said the militants currently being trained and equipped in the central Turkish city of Kirsehir under a joint Ankara-Washington program will receive air cover in Syria. "They have to be supported via air. If you do not protect them or provide air support, what is the point?" he commented. The top Turkish diplomat stopped short of answering a question about the possible use of combat drones from Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey for the sake of air cover for Syria militants. “These are technical details. There is a principle agreement on providing air support. How it is going to be provided is in the responsibility of the [Turkish] army,” Cavusoglu said. Following several months of negotiations, Turkey and the United States struck an agreement in February to train and arm what the two sides describe as “moderate” militants in Syria. The program is aimed at training over 15,000 militants in three years. Over 120 US soldiers are reportedly in Turkey to train the militants. Militants from the "First Battalion" under the so-called Free Syrian Army take part in a military training in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on May 4, 2015. (© AFP) Maggie says..."the first 'Free Syrian Army' we trained and armed joined ISIS...now we will give these guys white flags and that will make everyone believe these new trainees are going to be the 'good guys'....right..." The Turkish daily Yeni Safak, citing Cavusoglu, reported earlier this month that a group of 300 militants will go through the first phase of the training program. Cavusoglu added that a total of 2,000 militants will be trained by the end of the current year. Turkey was one of the three countries that publicly expressed readiness to allow its territory to be used for the training of the anti-Damascus militants. “Saudi Arabia and Qatar have also announced that they will be hosting a train-and-equip program,” the Turkish foreign minister said on February 20. The United States and its regional allies - especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey - are supporting the militants operating inside Syria. Anti-Damascus militant groups also use the Turkish territory to infiltrate into Syria, according to reports. Syria has been in the grips of a deadly crisis since March 2011. The violence fueled by Takfiri groups has so far claimed the lives of over 222,000 people, according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/05/25/412780/Turkey-US-Syria-Cavusoglu-Kirsehir

All very true Jim...in fact this battle is going on globally... There is a battle between controls that countries currently have to implement measures for the safety of their citizens and the illegal controls (private international corporate courts) that big pharma is trying implement to protect their profits...a huge part of TPP and TTIPP that they are currently pushing to be "fast tracked" through our congress. People had better start paying attention to this...just sayin... EU drops controls on dangerous chemicals after TTIP pressure from US – report EU proposals to regulate hormone-damaging chemicals linked to cancer, fertility problems and diabetes were allegedly dropped following pressure from US trade officials amid talks on the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

Quote from the article: “This is not evidence of widespread racism among young people but it is clear there is a large degree of anxiety – often based on inaccurate information – about what is happening in their communities and about their own futures.” Here is what parents need to realize in order to do anything to change the future for their children...

Thanks WHN,,,not that your article doesn't have merit...it does. I find it curious that few here see or mention the other side of the coin... Anyone notice any of these characteristics in our current government and society? Anyone notice how many of these policies are being pushed harder than ever in the upcoming elections? Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism By Dr. Lawrence Britt Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each: http://rense.com/general37/char.htm

You guys wanna believe everything Obama and Hilarious say about how they "got him"...go ahead. As for some of us...there are too many accounts/stories from them that just don't add up. Is it unpatriotic to question when things sound untrue?...I don't think so.

Thank You Trinity for bringing this in...truly incredible how many sheeple are in our midst. I researched this a little more and it turned out when they caught the "policeman" on the phone, he was some sick pervert, a salesman for security against identity theft. There were similar occurrences at 70 other (fast food) locations before they caught him. Gasps!!!! I just read this article today... "Woman Told by Airline She Couldn't Return Text From Her Suicidal Husband, Comes Home To Find him Dead" http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/marriage/woman-told-by-airline-she-couldnt-return-text-from-her-suicidal-husband-comes-home-to-find-him-dead/ar-BBjPD4Y?ocid=U141DHP Not only was she unbelievably "compliant" but to read the comments below the article was astounding..so many more sheeple... "It was her fault for not being there" "Rules are Rules" "She could have been lying" "An emergency call to the police probably wouldn't have saved him anyway" "He probably would have tried again at a later time" "The security of the passengers on the plane trumped her emergency" On and On.... Incredibly STUPID comments... First off they would either have had to let me make my calls or they would have been forced to escort me off the plane. Second if cell phones are such a risk on planes then why would a "terrorist" even bother with a bomb??? These are (I hope) extreme examples.... but they are becoming more and more prevalent. What truly makes me nervous isn't as much the "powers that be" abusing me... it is all the sheeple who would support them in their abuses and would possibly even help them.

This is the end of her speech... "That’s what’s always happened here at Tuskegee. Think about those students who made bricks with their bare hands. They did it so that others could follow them and learn on this campus, too. Think about that brilliant scientist who made his lab from a trash pile. He did it because he ultimately wanted to help sharecroppers feed their families. Those Airmen who rose above brutal discrimination -- they did it so the whole world could see just how high black folks could soar. That’s the spirit we’ve got to summon to take on the challenges we face today. And you don’t have to be President of the United States to start addressing things like poverty, and education, and lack of opportunity. Graduates, today -- today, you can mentor a young person and make sure he or she takes the right path. Today, you can volunteer at an after-school program or food pantry. Today, you can help your younger cousin fill out her college financial aid form so that she could be sitting in those chairs one day. (Applause.) But just like all those folks who came before us, you’ve got to do something to lay the groundwork for future generations. That pilot I mentioned earlier -- Charles DeBow -- he didn’t rest on his laurels after making history. Instead, after he left the Army, he finished his education. He became a high school English teacher and a college lecturer. He kept lifting other folks up through education. He kept fulfilling his “double duty” long after he hung up his uniform. And, graduates, that’s what we need from all of you. We need you to channel the magic of Tuskegee toward the challenges of today. And here’s what I really want you to know -- you have got everything you need to do this. You’ve got it in you. Because even if you’re nervous or unsure about what path to take in the years ahead, I want you to realize that you’ve got everything you need right now to succeed. You’ve got it. You’ve got the knowledge and the skills honed here on this hallowed campus. You’ve got families up in the stands who will support you every step of the way. And most of all, you’ve got yourselves -- and all of the heart, and grit, and smarts that got you to this day. And if you rise above the noise and the pressures that surround you, if you stay true to who you are and where you come from, if you have faith in God’s plan for you, then you will keep fulfilling your duty to people all across this country. And as the years pass, you’ll feel the same freedom that Charles DeBow did when he was taking off in that airplane. You will feel the bumps smooth off. You’ll take part in that “never-failing miracle” of progress. And you’ll be flying through the air, out of this world -- free. God bless you, graduates. I can’t wait to see how high you soar. Love you all. Very proud. Thank you." Link for the full transcript: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/05/09/remarks-first-lady-tuskegee-university-commencement-address
