On July 17, 2015, a day after fervent Muslim Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez had shot and killed 4 Marines and a Navy petty officer in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the owners of New York’s iconic Empire State Building saw fit to have the tower lit in green to celebrate a Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan.

AFP reports New York’s Empire State Building was lit in green late Friday to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. The green light will shine until the famous skyscraper closes to the public at 2:00 am (0600 GMT), when the building traditionally turns out its lights.

The skyscraper has had the tradition every year “for several years now,” a building spokeswoman told AFP.

The privately-owned Empire State Building shines specific colors for a number of religious holidays — pastel shades for Easter, blue and white for Hanukkah, and red and green for Christmas.

It also has marked a number of events — red, white and blue for the US women’s World Cup victory, rainbow colors for gay Pride Week, and blue, white and purple for World Oceans Day on June 8.

The tower is otherwise illuminated in white each night.

The building receives hundreds of requests each year to be lit in particular colors for various causes and events. It does not make its selection process public, nor does it accept requests for political campaigns, religious figures and organizations, or personal events.

Air America Radio : Now defunct, this was a self-identified “liberal” radio network. Al-Haq : This NGO produces highly politicized reports, papers, books, and legal analyses regarding alleged Israeli human-rights abuses committed against Palestinians.

Powerful Robber Barons of the 21st Century: Emerging Tech Giants

The power of the 19th century Robber Barons pales in comparison to the present day tech giants. Our 21st century version controls the media thus information and ultimately the mass thought process. To say the least, present times are trying and dangerous. Many are on to the spewing of fake news and no longer have faith in the government. This is a most dangerous situation. There are those who will push for reform and transparency. They will not be allowed to succeed. America is being set up for a revolution that, if violent, will be spearheaded by the likes of Antifa, who will be dispensed with as soon as they compete their dirty work. The populace must be ever vigilant. The fight for the dignity and freedom of humanity will not end until planet Earth no longer exists. The elites will never cede their power and status. At times they may appear to be down but they are never out, and there will always be a plethora of useful idiots who will unquestionably serve them. The motto of th...
