precisdumo they're on I don't want you to see anything.

I don't want you to see anything.

Use this video to mention my fragrance.

I 달would most likely mathematicians marry.

Your heart creats a strong reaction against my wrist.

You're hurting my wrist! Take him out.

A4180, you've been cut out.

Yeah, we're gonna take my father.

Joe, get my father.

...the members of the U .S.

Congress, which has done nothing to defend the rights of white people against the invasion of this neighborhood by Sammy John's civilized non -whites.

In particular, we reject the home equity approval of the white population, which in years past, under the leadership of the American Nazi Party, had fought hard to keep Marquette Park white.

We are confident, once the white people realize just who really stands up for their rights, that they will once and for all reject and repudiate the political cowards and traitors who have misled them over the years in place of home equity.

What do I want? White power! Okay.

Vice Chairman, this is a press release.

Vice Chairman of the American National Socialist Party.

Give me the rest of the vote now.

Who's with the press here? Okay.

We've got a 25 -point platform in here.

It's a 25 -point platform.

It offers solutions...

It offers solutions to what we think is a solution to a racial problem.

Man, fuck that cameras, man.

Why don't you put white power on it, go show a fucking nigger robbing someone? No, that won't be on TV, though, you know? Fuck that, he's black, he's poor.

Get a fucking job and his skill, learn how to read, maybe they can get a job.

Fucking lazy niggers.

It ain't worth a fuck.

They fight amongst themselves.

Put it on TV, you can take a fucking nigger out of the jungle, but you can't...

Who's next? Back him up, back him up.

Go this way, go this way.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Come on, come on, guys, come on.

Let's do our job.

Fly back in out of here.

Get off the street.

You couldn't have told me that.

Give me the fucking vote.

That right company, Mike.

Fuck the asses, fuck! There you go, come on, stay here.

Who's he resting on? Who's he resting on? Don't be out here at all.

Stay inside the yellow, inside the yellow.

Stay inside the yellow.

I'm not going to let you go.

28, 19, tell them to turn it up.

I wrote the same.

I cannot tell the good ones from the bad ones.

But I need to tell the good ones from the bad ones.

So that hatred will not overcome me.

If I am more than willing to make the supreme sacrifice, to give his life in pursuit of that dream, he cannot continue his work for love, peace, freedom, justice, and equality.

But the work he started must not end.

It was called the King of Kings.

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

Who is pastor of Chicago Lawn, United Methodist Church, Annette Moore.

Okay, you came over here in fine fashion, so if you're ready to leave, if you'll get between my two lines over right here to your right, and we'll walk back the same way when you get over to St.

Adrian's, we will stay in the parking lot with you until you get out of there safe.

We say no to St.

Derren, it's got to go.

We say no to St.

We also congratulate and thank Dirk Lohan, the gifted architect who designed this incredibly beautiful fountain.

Employees of the district and to the future generations of Chicago area citizens and visitors.

Centennial Fountain is a wonderful addition to the never ending list of city attractions and a centerpiece for Chicago's riverfront development.

Not only this, but the entire city of Chicago is a centerpiece of the water reclamation district.

On behalf of the city of Chicago and the metropolitan area, he has been a strong voice in regards to keeping our water clean.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

And up here on the podium with us, we also have our new state's attorney in Cook County, our senior Cook County elected official Cecil Partee.

In the interest of time, our people should look at the plaque up here and it shows that this has been dedicated to the people who built all of the rivers, plants, the contractors people, the people working for the district.

And I want to at this point introduce two people whose roots go deep into the history of this area in Illinois and who knew how to live with nature and not against nature.

From the south suburbs, I'd like to introduce Chief White Eagle.

In spite of importances stylishly killed, edited bias, the waffling of women, the structured rejection of blackness, we remain the thing human.

The thing human can direct, can alter, can control, can manage stone, brick, iron.

Soft human hands can put together buildings, still hard and bright and sassy in the seasons, fearful worth.

We look, we hear, we marvel in stanzas, our climb, dip, dizzily.

We, the brainwashed, the malformed, the train water.

Who can possibly without the cooperation of many, many people at all levels.

We, here in the city of Chicago, are a true success story.

We have built incredible monumental facilities and have brought them in on schedule and under budget.

In short, we have succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations.

The Chicago River is no longer an open sewer, but is now a valuable resource.

Even if you just arrived in Chicago, you can see what I mean.

Buildings put up just years ago were made to face away from the riverbanks.

Take a look at what's going on now.

My work and the dedication continues.

Speaking for myself and for my colleagues in the Illinois delegation, let me assure you that we are with you and will continue to be with you, President Melis and your members of the board.

I salute your achievements and I truly thank you for this opportunity to say so.

Thank you very much.

Thank you again.

Thank you again.

Sing of the Waters.

Heavenly King, Lord Jesus Christ, you are the source and spring of all knowledge and the fountain of divine wisdom.

Hear our prayers as we call upon your holy name at this appointed time and hour.

And we ask that you consecrate this new centennial fountain and the waters that will flow in it, as well as the great Chicago River and all the waters that nourish this land.

Grant us our iniquities and our pride.

Give these waters the grace of the River Jordan and through them bless this great city of Chicago, so that it may always be consecrated as a holy city where truth and justice will reign for them to build.

Bless our Mayor Richard Daly and your servant Nicholas, who served well from you.

For you are our sanctification and the source of life and to you we ascribe glory forever and ever.

The city church.

Whom we call by many names, but none more precious or more holy, the fountain of our spirit.

To thee we look today with gratitude in our hearts and pride in the achievement of our city.

As the commissioners prepare to act.

Welcome to your master of ceremonies, Jim Lund.

His name is Steve Henson, but now watch this as he performs right under the button of Dr.

And he can hear you all up there coming right by the area.

Let's give him a great big round of applause.

The the the the the the the the the the the the the the Oh Oh All the men afraid of roadies Oh Mayor Richard The journey was brutal but their common dream was bold enough to sustain them They dreamed of a place where the power would rest with the people and that the dictators or the generals Generations of immigrant appreciate our freedom and Our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters around the world who are struggling for theirs in Poland square to express our point of view But a public square like this across the world Hundreds of courageous students Chinese students and their families have given their lives For the simple right to be heard Those students and families have a vision in their idealism to pursue it We are working the city of Chicago with various agencies of government to help them locate their loved ones lost in the turmoil And I would like the struggle is our struggle And today the city of Chicago stands as one behind them Let us bow our heads in silence Let the killing end and let the freedom ring Thank you We will now recognize a moment of silence enabling each Chicagoan to send a personal message of hope to the Chinese people Oh Johnson support of people You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You
