8:29
I 3 the response to his announcement was
love
8:33
disbelief after the victory then caches
goes to New York is escorted around
8:39
harlem
8:40
by the notorious mellow mix in the media
as a field day
8:45
speculation is poorly in harlem that
malcolm any
8:48
date now it's gonna be out over the
nation in Islam
8:52
she like from peekskill
8:56
by from me bureau malcolm X Lawrence
9:01
that elijah mohammed has impregnated
several other secretaries
9:05
he felt deeply betrayed he felt betrayed
9:09
as a man who felt betrayed religiously
9:13
ethically and morally by the man he had
given his whole heart and trust to
9:17
and so we questioned everything
including the whole
9:20
created the nation of islam in the iPod
Chrissy up there were two men
9:25
who above all others he wanted to Paul
9:28
out at the nation have a slow with one
was Louis IX
9:32
who was the minister in Boston today
known as louis farrakhan
9:35
but the second person he wanted was
caches clay
9:39
is precisely at that moment that Elijah
Muhammad astutely defuse the situation
9:46
by be stowing upon cash suspects
9:49
an original name this is a gift only 22
but we can also see we can all about
9:55
because we were in a bad state a
condition oh yeah
9:58
in welcome had been for decades the most
prominent minister in the nation style
10:04
and yet caches well before malcolm pacts
10:08
who deserved the honour choirs the name
Mohammed 0
10:13
is checkmate
10:17
high-stakes two days later
10:20
malcolm walks out for the nation slow
10:23
I think it was shocked that
10:27
clay didn't go with him I'll the
10:32
overtime began to understand that he was
10:35
big that he was important that he had an
impact
10:39
on people the first time that really hit
home was probably when he went to Africa
10:45
after winning the heavyweight
championship for the world
10:49
what he found was he would go someplace
10:53
and people with a lie and the roads
10:57
people would come out at the shot on
goal just to get
11:00
a glimpse at him and for the first time
11:03
he understood his fame wasn't confined
to
11:07
believe bill Miami Beach the United
States
11:11
he represented something he wasn't sure
what but he knew he represented
11:15
something to people
11:16
outside of America nothing to do with
this I don't know of any peace feelers
11:21
were made & Johnson believed
11:24
and bobby was just livid
11:27
he was so mad and body comes back to his
office and says
11:32
presents unhinged me news abuser than
11:36
maybe just not mentally stable he told
his aides that he would never again have
11:40
anything to do with lyndon johnson
11:41
the way he had been treated was so
inexcusable that he could simply never
11:46
had any
11:47
real dealings with the man past that
point a month later
11:51
Bobby rose in the senate condemned the
morality of the war
11:55
and then admitted his own share of
responsibility
11:58
I can testify he said the default is to
be found
12:03
there's enough to go around for all
including myself he is the first
12:09
politician
12:10
I'll either party to take responsibility
for what's happening in vietnam
12:14
the first politician to accept blame
which gives
12:17
a moral strength to the argument that
he's making do we have the right here in
12:22
the United States to say that we're
going to kill
12:24
cans about make millions the people as
we hear
12:27
million the people refugee kill women
and children as we head
12:31
I very seriously question whether we
have that right
12:35
now we're saying we're going to idea so
that we don't have to fight Thailand
12:38
so that we don't have to fight in the
west coast to the United States so that
12:42
they won't move across the Rocky
12:43
but do we at our home our opposition it
seems to me
12:47
changes tremendously robert kennedy in
1967
12:50
has come to question the basic
assumptions that the war
12:54
his begun to question whether we really
do need to make a stand in vietnam to
12:58
protect that region from communism
12:59
his come to question whether our
national security interest in vietnam
13:03
is outweighed by the incredible human
suffering that were inflicted by waging
13:08
war in this country
13:09
is questioned the moral legitimacy of
this war
13:12
which is something that he hasn't done
to this point well
13:17
is confronted by new issues he grows
inward to be able to face these
13:21
challenges
13:22
the really learns from experience he
really become something much larger
13:27
when he was leaving yet
13:30
he becomes more more thoughtful more
more philosophical
13:33
more and more ready to accept that
13:37
he does not have a monopoly on wisdom
that
13:40
maybe this war in Vietnam was a
fundamental mistake
13:44
that maybe his brother would have gotten
out the
13:49
most people acquire certain things as
they grow older bobby kennedy
13:53
discarded certainties he grew the
13:57
started sisters salad and he ended up
businessman
14:00
very sympathetic to those who were they
14:03
despised and rejected of life
14:08
robert kennedy was now reaching out to
Americans
14:11
everywhere who have been left behind the
14:19
he had fully awakened from his dark
night and morning
14:23
the moral impulse to fight evil and do
good
14:26
that had always been a part in the hymns
was taking
14:29
a new direction
14:31
he wanted to know why life was like for
someone's
14:35
he would ask where you feel what do you
think he
14:40
wanted to be inside
14:42
the eyes though america's casualties
14:46
you wanted to see the world the way they
14:49
sure
14:51
people believed in his understanding
14:54
their situation because he visibly was
moved
14:57
English someone who responded in the
most graphic
15:01
human emotional terms
15:03
he was somebody
15:05
lead was wrong from the herd
15:08
done others heard he felt from the
assassination his brother
15:13
gave him and busy for every 100
15:17
who heard have to he did begin to change
15:21
incrementally while he was Attorney
General for
15:25
brother was killed but I think that'll
ru dramatically
15:31
after his brother's murder produced in
15:34
identified with every other victim
15:39
anyone whose casualty in life
15:42
he began to feel was his bro
15:47
on
15:51
like
15:53
Hannah four days later Bobby flew to
Indianapolis for a campaign speech in a
15:58
black neighborhood
15:59
on route a reporter who told him that
Martin Luther King
16:04
had been murdered
16:12
we were trying to altogether people for
mass rally
16:15
bobby kennedy but it was some people
saying it even in
16:18
maybe you shouldn't come
16:21
because maybe that would be the islands
16:25
the police thought dangers they didn't
want us to go in there
16:29
wide he went
16:34
I scribbled something on a piece of
paper cuz I knew would want to say
16:37
something
16:38
white yet figured out but he was going
to say he had written it himself
16:44
who brought the news did 12 kinga shock
16:49
I tonight and news for love you and I
think get
16:53
sad news for all of our fellow citizens
16:56
and people who love peace all over the
world
17:00
and that is that Martin Luther King
17:04
shot and was killed tonight also the
people in
17:10
any word to doctor jimmy had been shot
we will stone
17:13
we all cry of
17:17
the dead robert kennedy spoke from his
soul but I was a few who are
17:22
black and are tempted to deal with
detailed with
17:27
danger Dan distrust the injustices such
an act
17:33
the
17:35
against all white people I would only
say that I can also
17:39
deal in my own heart the new same kinda
feeling
17:44
I had a member of my family killed
17:47
the night he was killed by a white man
17:50
the night we have to make an effort in
the United States the new you have to
17:56
make an effort to understand
17:57
talking on these rather difficult time
18:01
the words jus reign
18:05
it just choose your body immediately not
him
18:10
lolled but almost in a
18:14
graph room mana like in
18:19
California
18:20
was pure made
18:22
in
18:28
he were treated him like it was some
18:30
Rockstar he was young people was blacks
18:34

18:43

to a secret service agents
20:09

Bobby said and from then on either luck

Chinese firecrackers
20:32
Bobby Flay missed then went right on

John Norton ~ Walking with God The Canadian Bible Society (CBS)

Our Mission

http://www.biblesociety.ca/mission

The Canadian Bible Society (CBS) exists to promote and encourage, without doctrinal note or comment, the translation, publication, distribution and use of the Scriptures throughout Canada and Bermuda, and to co-operate with the United Bible Societies in its worldwide work.

Our Organization

It started with a girl named Mary…

Mary Jones had longed for a Bible in her own language from the time she was ten. But, her family was poor and Bibles in 18th century Wales were both expensive and scarce.

Mary was a determined girl, however, and for six long years she toiled at chores saving every hard-earned penny. By the summer of 1800 she had finally saved enough. Mary Jones walked 28 miles in her bare feet to buy a Bible.

It sounds just like the experience of new Christians in China or in the remote parts of Africa today. But Mary Jones was a girl who lived in Wales over 200 years ago. Her story inspired people and helped lead to the founding of the Bible Society– making the Bible available throughout the world.

The Canadian Bible Society was formally founded in 1904. In 1906 CBS became a chartered member of the United Bibles Societies, a fellowship of over 145 national Bible Societies around the world. The Societies work in partnership with churches and other Bible agencies to facilitate and support translation and Scripture distribution work around the globe.

In Canada, CBS translates, publishes and distributes Bibles, New Testaments and other Scriptures, which are available in over 100 languages including Canadian First Nations languages. The first Canadian native translation to be published by the Bible Society dates back to 1804, when the Gospel of John was translated into Mohawk.

The Canadian Bible Society is committed to exercising faithful stewardship over the funds entrusted to us. We are aware of the sacrificial nature of your gifts and in recognition of your faithfulness, we make this pledge to you:

  • Gifts will be used for the purpose of sharing the Holy Scriptures with as many people as possible for the lowest possible cost.
  • If project needs are met, gifts will be used for related projects where most needed.
  • We will engage in full financial disclosure and will provide an Annual Report of all income and expenses to anyone who requests it. 
This is our faith pledge to you.



John Norton







In the spring of 1804, Teyoninhokarawen (John Norton), arrived in England to negotiate treaties with the English. At the request of the British and Foreign Bible Society, he translated the Gospel of John into Mohawk. His work would represent a number of firsts for the newly-formed Bible Society: the First translation; First publication; First distribution in a foreign land.

In the Mohawk Chapel at Brantford Ontario, there is a memorial window of unusual significance which portrays the distribution of the Gospel in Mohawk in 1806. the bottom panel of the window records Norton’s preface to his translation: “Let us strictly adhere to what the Lord has transmitted to us in the Holy Scriptures, that thereby the unbelievers may know that love we bear the commandments of God.”

Leonard Nimoy reminisces about Star Trek and Spock

Leonard Nimoy, the actor, author and director best known for his portrayal of the ultra-logical character Spock in the TV series Star Trek, has died at the age of 83.

His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed to the New York Times that her husband died Friday morning at their Los Angeles home of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nimoy said last year that he had been diagnosed with lung disease and was "doing OK."


Nimoy's poignant last tweet, sent on Feb. 22, reads, "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory."

Nimoy played Spock on the original Star Trek series from 1966 to 1969, and resurrected the iconic character in a host of subsequent movies, video games and cameo appearances spanning decades.

"I loved him like a brother," co-star William Shatner said Friday. "We will all miss his humour, his talent, and his capacity to love."

Co-star George Takei shared his condolences on Facebook Friday afternoon.

"Today, the world lost a great man, and I lost a great friend. We return you now to the stars, Leonard ... I shall miss you in so many, many ways," he wrote.

"Leonard Nimoy truly did live long and prosper. To celebrate his life and work, let us share in some of his best moments as the character we all took into our hearts, Mr. Spock."

  • Actor Leonard Nimoy, who played the ultra-logical character Spock in the TV series Star Trek, died on Friday, Feb. 28, 2015, at age 83 at his L.A. home. His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed to the New York Times that he had end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

"Live Long and Prosper, Mr. Spock!" tweeted Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, aboard the International Space Station.

The character's trademark ears, steeply arched eyebrows, well-known Vulcan proverb "Live long and prosper," as well as Nimoy's trademark Vulcan salute helped cement him as a pop culture icon.

It wasn't just the trademark ears or the steeply arched eyebrows — which rose higher when Spock was confronted with disconcerting emotion — or the impressive divided-finger salute or the "Live long and prosper" catchphrase.

It was how Nimoy staunchly turned what could have been a caricature into a dignified, inspiringly intellectual and even touching figure, a half-human, half-Vulcan who was a multicultural and multiethnic touchstone, well before it was hip.

His half-human, half-Vulcan character was the calm counterpoint to Shatner's often-emotional Captain Kirk on one of television and film's most revered cult series.

"He affected the lives of many," Adam Nimoy said. "He was also a great guy and my best friend."

Asked if his father chafed at his fans' close identification of him with his character, Adam Nimoy said, "Not in the least. He loved Spock."

However, Nimoy's ambivalence to the role was reflected in the titles of his two autobiographies, I Am Not Spock (1975) and I Am Spock (1995).

Identifying with Spock


After Star Trek ended, the actor immediately joined the hit adventure series Mission Impossible as Paris, the mission team's master of disguises. From 1976 to 1982 he hosted the syndicated TV series In Search of ...  which attempted to probe such mysteries as the legend of the Loch Ness Monster and the disappearance of aviator Amelia Earhart.


He played Israeli leader Golda Meir's husband opposite Ingrid Bergman in the TV drama A Woman Called Golda and Vincent van Gogh in Vincent, a one-man stage show on the life of the troubled painter. He continued to work well into his 70s, playing gazillionaire genius William Bell in the Fox series Fringe.

He also directed several films, including the hit comedy Three Men and a Baby and appeared in such plays as A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tim Roof, Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I, My Fair Lady and Equus. He also published books of poems, children's stories and his own photographs.

But he could never really escape the role that took him overnight from bit-part actor status to TV star, and in a 1995 interview he sought to analyze the popularity of Spock, the green-blooded space traveller who aspired to live a life based on pure logic.

People identified with Spock because they "recognize in themselves this wish that they could be logical and avoid the pain of anger and confrontation," Nimoy concluded.

"How many times have we come away from an argument wishing we had said and done something different?" he asked.

'The role changed my career'


In the years immediately after Star Trek left television, Nimoy tried to shun the role, but he eventually came to embrace it, lampooning himself on such TV shows as Futurama, Duckman and The Simpsons and in commercials.

'Of course the role changed my career— or rather, gave me one.'— Leonard Nimoy

He became Spock after Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry was impressed by his work in guest appearances on the TV shows The Lieutenant and Dr. Kildare.

The space adventure set in the 23rd century had an unimpressive debut on NBC on Sept. 8, 1966, and it struggled during its three seasons to find an audience other than teenage boys. It seemed headed for oblivion after it was cancelled in 1969, but its dedicated legion of fans, who called themselves Trekkies, kept its memory alive with conventions and fan clubs and constant demands that the cast be reassembled for a movie or another TV show.

Trekkies were particularly fond of Spock, often greeting one another with the Vulcan salute and the Vulcan motto, "Live Long and Prosper," both of which Nimoy was credited with bringing to the character. He pointed out, however, that the hand gesture was actually derived from one used by rabbis during Hebraic benedictions.

When the cast finally was reassembled for Star Trek — The Motion Picture, in 1979, the film was a huge hit and five sequels followed. Nimoy appeared in all of them and directed two. He also guest starred as an older version of himself in some of the episodes of the show's spinoff TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"Of course the role changed my career— or rather, gave me one," he once said. "It made me wealthy by most standards and opened up vast opportunities. It also affected me personally, socially, psychologically, emotionally. ... What started out as a welcome job to a hungry actor has become a constant and ongoing influence in my thinking and lifestyle."

In 2009, he was back in a new big-screen version of Star Trek, this time playing an older Spock who meets his younger self, played by Zachary Quinto. Critic Roger Ebert called the older Spock "the most human character in the film."

Among those seeing the film was President Barack Obama, whose even manner was often likened to Spock's.

"Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out," Obama said at the time.

Upon the movie's debut, Nimoy told The Associated Press that in his late 70s he was probably closer than ever to being as comfortable with himself as the logical Spock always appeared to be.

"I know where I'm going, and I know where I've been," he said. He reprised the role in the 2013 sequel Star Trek Into Darkness.

Making a career of acting


Born in Boston to Jewish immigrants from Russia, Nimoy was raised in an Italian section of the city where, although he counted many Italian-Americans as his friends, he said he also felt the sting of anti-Semitism growing up.

At age 17 he was cast in a local production of Clifford Odets' Awake and Sing as the son in a Jewish family.

'Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out.'— Barack Obama on seeing the 2009 Star Trek movie

"This role, the young man surrounded by a hostile and repressive environment, so touched a responsive chord that I decided to make a career of acting," he said later.

He won a drama scholarship to Boston College but eventually dropped out, moved to California and took acting lessons at the Pasadena Playhouse.

Soon he had lost his "Boston dead-end" accent, hired an agent and began getting small roles in TV series and movies. He played a baseball player in Rhubarb and an Indian in Old Overland Trail.

After service in the Army, he returned to Hollywood, working as taxi driver, vacuum cleaner salesman, movie theatre usher and other jobs while looking for acting roles.

In 1954 he married Sandra Zober, a fellow student at the Pasadena Playhouse, and they had two children, Julie and Adam. The couple divorced, and in 1988 he married Susan Bay, a film production executive.

Besides his wife, son and daughter, Nimoy is survived by his stepson, Aaron Bay Schuck. Services will be private, Adam Nimoy said.
