What the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Conceals
The mainstream media are in full cry for the U.S. Senate to ratify the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Watch out. When the United Nations starts talking about rights, the truth about what it’s really up to is often carefully concealed. There are always plenty of people in Washington happy to go along with these charades, but the supporters of the CRPD are taking willful blindness to new heights.
Last December, Senator Bob Corker, the Republican leader on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, announced that he was unable to support CRPD because it threatens U.S. sovereignty and federalism. “Ultimately, I’m unable to vote for a treaty that could undermine our Constitution and the legitimacy of our democratic process as the appropriate means for making decisions about the treatment of our citizens,” Senator Corker wrote. This treaty, he warned, doesn’t govern relations between countries but orders countries to change their domestic laws.
Senator Corker’s fears are right on point, but CRPD threatens more than our sovereignty, liberty, and democratic system.

Prepping 101: Seeds – Don’t Screw It Up!
The most difficult thing to set aside for yourself in this day and age
is time. But unfortunately, when it comes to surviving the end of life
as we know it, time is the one thing you will have to set aside if you
plan to get serious. Disasters are easily survivable. Put away enough
food and water, and you can ride out most storms, even lengthy ones. But
if the food supply never comes back online, what do you do then?

White Privilege explained
Via WiscoDave
As a black man, I long to experience white privilege. Until the National White Privilege Conference came along, I thought I was getting as much privilege as any white man. Apparently not.
I’m told by my white friends that because of white privilege, orange juice is both more orangey and more juicy for white folks. Even when offered a taste of theirs, orange juice still tastes like orange juice to me.
One of my white friends said to me the other day that she wished with all her heart that I could hear music the way she hears music, because she of her“white privilege.” We even put the headphones up to our ears simultaneously, and you could dip me in butter, roll me in flour and call me “Biscuit,” because I swear that white girl was getting FAR more out of that music than I was.
Here I thought guilty white Liberals and ignorant black Liberals were making this up, but who knew God just made white people better!

What A Trip: Crystal Blue Persuasion
I had never seen this video before, but remember the song vividly from a morning in 1969 when I was in my Datsun Bluebird driving down a Saigon street and the music was interrupted with notice of a MPC exchange. I was living at 141 Tran Quy Cap, Saigon then.
5 Survival Stories Too Miraculous to Be Real

Eventually, Death will claim every one of us (we intend to
begin every article with this reminder from now on). But that doesn't
mean we have to go down easily. That's why we here at Cracked like to
take time every once in a while to salute those who looked Death in the
eye and made it back down and apologize. These are the unkillable
badasses who did things like ...
