<div><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><u>WILLIAM LYNCH VS. OSAMA BIN LADEN</u></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> I happened to be checking out the national news one evening, when I heard an item concerning a letter written to America in 2002 by of all people—the late Osama Bin Laden. His letter reminded me of a letter written to America hundreds of years ago by the late William Lynch. The ‘uproar’ over the Bin Laden letter made me laugh because a generation of Caucasian youth are supposedly swallowing the ‘lies’ contained in the Bin Laden letter as ‘truth’—and older Caucasians are upset that their ‘babies’ are accepting the letter as written. Unfortunately, a generation of older Caucasians have been telling American society for years that the ‘truths’ contained in the Willie Lynch letter are ‘lies’—even though some of them have been used against Black folk in American society for generations.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Plus, the Federal government has NOT paid the promissory note due to the descendants of Black folk who were slaves who helped build America—even though other races HAVE been compensated with cash, land, or plain old respect. Democrats have been dancing around this issue for years while ‘counting on us’ for our votes… But I digress.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Let me set this up accordingly. Bin Laden was steeped in Islam and terrorism; Lynch was steeped in the lucrative market of international slavery…in part, bringing slaves to America and making them more ‘docile’ to Caucasian plantation owners and masters. Now, there ARE those that see the swelling of the Bin Laden letter ‘belief’ groupies as ‘poetic justice’. After all, America—to many people—has gone from a bastion of Christian liberty and morality to a land of oppression and opportunity because of a wide variety of her national sins on public display daily.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Including terrorism against a race of people who happen to be Black.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> A nation that has turned its back on God and Jesus Christ will suffer in many ways. We're only seeing the opening acts of what this nation is experiencing. One of those ways is that its youth will go a-whoring after strange gods and idols—such as the letters of William Lynch and Osama Bin Laden. Since BOTH writings are prominently displayed on the Internet, they are free for public consumption—and deception. It is advised for Christians to have their KJV Bible at the ready to accurately be able to separate fact from fiction—truth from lie. I would also add that BOTH writings should be read by parents to be able to ‘hip’ their children—and other youth—about the deceptions contained in each document.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> I’ve got my copies for reference while I am writing my column this month. Interesting reading, to say the least. You won’t fall asleep on the dance floor with either one of these. Not to mention that the discussion period will be mind-boiling, to say the least.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> History is cyclical, folks. The protests that we see unfolding in our streets currently are the same types of protests that were going on during my younger years. Civil Rights. Vietnam. Kent State and Jackson State. America is STILL a free country, and protests are protected speech—no matter the cause. What the Grandparents did, their children and grandchildren will attempt to do. What the Grandparents have left unresolved; by the wayside, or ignored, their children and grandchildren will be ‘lured’ by the same shinny things. Lastly, what sins the Grandparents have perfected—including ignoring God, God’s Word, or God’s enemies will come back to bite not only the younger generation—but the older generation as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Sin always has sharp teeth. Until sin is repented of, those teeth will STAY in the offender.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> America has NOT paid reparations to the Black descendants of the slaves that helped to build this country. ALL other races abused by the Federal government have received compensation. IF this sin; IF the deception of Willie Lynch is allowed to ‘ride’, God WILL allow the deception of Bin Laden to ‘ride’. God has a way of punishing rebellion. Our two letters are only the beginning.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> <em>Mike Ramey is a Retired Minister, KJV Bible Teacher, syndicated columnist and Bible Prophecy Specialist who lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. “The Quick Scan” is one of a variety of his columns appearing and abounding in print and cyberspace, written from a biblical, business, and common-sense perspective since 1996.

What was revealed to me is not a vision or a revelation, but just the way to see things from a different prospective. All the information was already here and available for many to see, but having eyes they see not, having ears, they hear not and having a brain, they thinketh not. These subjects are very delicate ones and should be treated with lots of loving care and understanding.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">This New Year’s Rant is about two subjects that many people normally don’t feel comfortable speaking out about and for others, they often speak way too much about it and still not have a clue how they are still affecting many of our people in the world today. I am speaking about Religion and Slavery. Yes, religious slavery in the modern world. For all those people who may feel offended with my post but are still on my Facebook Page, I don’t really care if you stay or leave, I will continue to post what I want, when I want, on which ever topic I want and I will continue to do so in the future.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">According to the Webster Dictionary, the word Religion is; a particular system of faith in and worship of a Supreme Being or a God; a practice of devotion or conscientiousness; recognition on the part of man of a controlling superhuman power entitled to obedience, reverence and worship. However, when it comes to religion nowadays, many people uses it for control and domination over others by the use of two things; Fear and Faith. Just as fire, religions do serve a good purpose in humanity and also can be misused for destructive behavior once it is not handled properly. As we can clearly see, many people use religion for all the wrong reasons in most cases in this day and age.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">A slave as it is defined or described in the Webster Dictionary is; someone without freedom or personal rights; a human being who is owned by another human being; someone who is dominated by some influence, habit or way of life. As we look around us today, many of us are in slavery in one form or the other and don’t even know it or even care to escape from our captors. Sometimes women can find themselves trapped in a relationship which can be similar to be a slave. Their husband or in some cases their partner has total control over their lives in every way. And just like in physical slavery, they are subjected to both physical and mental abuse, but for whatever reason or reasons, they stay put for fear of been lonely. As was in the old slavery days, many slaves refuse to escape, for fear of not to be able to look after their own well being. They have been in that condition for so long; they don’t know any other life.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Just as it is in life or a marriage, the same scenario is been displayed in all religion nowadays. Many people are trapped within the ideology of religion that they don’t even know that they have become a slave to that way of living. If we were to examine the parallel between Organized Religion and Slavery, we will be able to see that they both are identical in many aspects. In this lecture, I will endeavor to demonstrate the similarities. We have to understand that Organized Religion is just like fire, it is neither good nor bad, but just how the individual decides to use it. As fire is neither good nor bad, it all depends on how you use it; you can take fire to provide heat, light and as a means to cook your food, you can also use fire to destroy people or properties.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Slavery was condone and was rampant throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. It came a little after murder in magnitude to creating disasters for mankind, and has got to be one of the most immoral things a person can do to another human being. Yet the Bible clearly approves of slavery in many passages, and it goes so far as to tell when you can have sex with the female slaves, how much to pay to obtain slaves, and how hard you can beat them. We can see in Leviticus 25:44-46; it states; however, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Some people will try to prove that the slavery in the bible is different to modern day slavery by saying that those slaves were actually servants or indentured servants. Many translations of the Bible use the word "servant", "bond servant", or "manservant" instead of "slave" to make the Bible seem less immoral than it really is. While many slaves may have worked as household servants, that doesn't mean that they were not slaves who were bought, sold, and treated worse than livestock. In these other passages of the Old and New Testament and many other such passages are details of how to treat a slave; Exodus 21:2-6, Exodus 21:7-11, Exodus 21:20- 21, Ephesians 6:5, 1 Timothy 6:1-2 and Luke 12:47-48.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">However, slavery in the modern days within the last two centuries was even worse than what was prescribe in the bible. Today we have what I prefer to call Religious Slavery and it has been practiced on many unsuspecting people and they don’t even know it. Most of the slavery in the olden days was more of a physical nature, unlike the slavery of today is of the religious type. Many people have used religion to enslave their fellow humans and feel no remorse because it was condone in the Bible. There are great similarities in both form of slavery; physical and religious.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">In physical slavery, anyone can be brought or sold by their master at anytime of their life. They did not have any control over what they eat, where they live, who to or who not to worship, who they are allowed to get married too or how many children they were allowed to bear. The difference between physical and religious slavery in this aspect are about the same. In religious slavery, you become your own master, but you are dictated by the leaders of your religion of what to eat, who to worship, when to worship them, where you live, who you can get married too and how many children you can have.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">In physical slavery, once you and your family are purchased by a slave master, he will change your name to reflect that you and your family are now his personal property, just as it is stated in the Bible. If the slave owner’s last name was Peters, James or Jones, then your last name will be changed to suit his own. And if you were further sold to another slave owner and his name was Roberts, then your name will be again changed to Roberts, which identify you as that new owners’ property. In some cases, you will be branded with a hot iron with the initials of that slave owner, so that in case you were to escape, the slave catchers can easily identify to which owner you belong too.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">In religious slavery, once you and your family join any religion; your identity is automatically changed to reflect that particular religion. In religious slavery, you are now encouraged to dress, eat, talk and conduct your life based on that religion principles. You are no longer a FREE person to dress the way you want to anymore, you cannot eat anything you wished anymore and you cannot associate with anyone that you chose to be with, unless it was sanctioned by the leader of your religion. You are now known by your rightful religious identifying name, to distinguish you from all other religions. You now become a Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Moor Israelite, Hebrew Israelite, Pentecostal, Baptist, Catholic, Janis, 5 per centers, Buddhist and all the other different religions name. This form of slavery keeps you faithful to the religion that you are now enslaved too. And just like physical slavery, your personal names can quickly identify who is your master.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I have quite a few brothers and sister on my Facebook Page, and just by seeing their name, I can tell which religion they are enslaved too. Many of them strongly believe that they are the Chosen People of God, so they changed their name, and I might add, voluntarily to reflect their religion. In physical slavery, the master’s name was forced upon you, but in this religious slavery, you choose to name yourself. So you will have lots of brothers and sisters with Hebrew sounding names, or Muslim sounding names or in some cases God attached to their names. I have seen many brothers especially, with name that they truly believe has the many different names for God attached to their given names. The same way with the Sikhs or Hindus, they all believe that to attach a God sounding name to themselves, they are special or very different to everyone else.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Most of those people are enslaved to their religious beliefs and cannot escape without severe penalties of been excluded from their religion. The big difference is that many people voluntarily chose the religion that they are involved in after they have reached the age of reasoning. When they were young, they were enslaved to the religion that was practiced by their parents. And the simple way it is done is by using two sets of common denominators; fear and faith and reward or punishment. Just about every single religion plays on people’s fear of the unknown to keep them in check.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">If they cannot put fear into your heart, then they will use faith as their backup plan. After using fear and faith, they then follow them up with reward or punishment. Rare do you ever see they use facts versus fiction. Just about every religion uses rewards as their means of getting you to comply with their dogma or religious agendas. You are not allowed to think for yourself, and they will seek out certain passages from their holy book, forbidding you from ever questioning their authority. Just like in physical slavery, you dare not question your slave master about why he is treating you the way that he chooses to treat you.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">In physical slavery, the masters are the biggest beneficiaries of all your hard labor and get to live the life of luxury while the slaves can only wish to enjoy some of the perks of the masters, but never even has the opportunity to do so. In the olden days of slavery in the Western Hemisphere, there were many very large plantations which were worked on by slaves daily. The slaves did not have any say in the sharing of the profit that they help generate for their masters. They were whipped daily to stay in line and do what they were told to do and if they start to give too much trouble, they were sold to another slave owner. In religious slavery in the Western Hemisphere, there are similar things occurring in the various places of worship, where the upper echelon are the only one benefiting from all the hard labor of their followers and you dare not complain. What the religious slaves get are promises for their good behavior and a pretty sounding title in this life.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">As you look around, you can see the massive wealth that are been generated weekly by many of the self proclaimed preachers, ministers, pastor, teachers and leaders, while their followers are still living from hand to mouth in abject poverty. They live in the best high class expensive houses in exclusive neighborhood, drive the best cars, wear the most expensive jewelry and clothes and also eat the best food available. This type of slavery is allowed to continue because it was all started from in the bible, where it was legal to practice it. However, many people think since they don’t use any whips or chains on you to upkeep their slavery system in operation, then it is not slavery.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">So many men and women will voluntarily go to the modern day plantation called a Synagogue, Church, Mosque, Temple or any run down store front on either Saturday or Sunday and partake in this religious slavery system. Just like in the old slave system, the slave masters know what to say to keep their slaves in check and know what to do when one or two gets out of line. The same thing is happening today with those massive plantations passing as places of worship.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">We are told that you have to belong to one of these plantations to be able to inherit the afterlife. Meanwhile, the religious slave masters are enjoying their afterlife of wine, milk and honey in this present life. These “Chur-chations” does not pay any taxes and the religious masters are not accountable to anyone else but their board of directors, who the masters have total control over. This is the modern day slavery system which has made many men and women very rich, off the hard work of their followers and it is getting worst every day. In certain cities, you will find about five, ten or even more churches within a few square miles block. Some of these plantation are small with a few religious slaves, while others may have hundreds and even thousands slaves. They are all in the same game of selling salvation for a price. All the slaves get in return for turning over their money is a promise of a good time in the afterlife, and it is all done under the guise of religion.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Even in some of these religious slavery organizations you are told that you have to kill followers of other religions if they don’t want to be converted to your way of slavery. So we have the Jews fighting the Palestine’s Muslims in the Middle East, the Catholics fighting the Anglicans in Northern Ireland, the Shiites fighting the Sunnis, and the American Christian fighting the Middle East Muslims. Now not all wars are fought to convert others, but the determining factor always has a religious background added to it. Some wars are for pure greed and domination of others who may look different that the invaders. Just about every war that are been fought today, are always along the lines of religion.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Every religion wants to convert you to their belief and is willing to kill you if you don’t co- operate with their teachings. Religion and slavery goes hand in hand from the beginning of time up to today. Most of the people who benefited the most from the physical slavery of the millions of African people were either Jews, Christian followed by Muslims and many other religious organizations. Many slave ships were named after Christian deities for them to look sanctified and sacred as they transport their human cargo to the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">But nowadays, the religious slave master, are not taking them out of the different countries anymore, they are building large religious plantations in those countries instead or they will have massive religious crusades filling huge stadiums of devoted slaves. If you cannot get the people to come to you to hear your religious sales pitch, then you have to take the message to the people.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Religion is a big business and slavery is needed to keep it flourishing. If the bible had never fully sanctioned slavery, the world would be a much better place for all of mankind. But with many of my brothers and sisters today, they are partaking in this devastating slavery system and many of them don’t even know it or even care to abolish such practices. They think if they can quote a few verses of chapter from their holy book to justify their religious beliefs, they are going to inherit a glorious afterlife. Many of these so called religious slaves are quick to label themselves as “God Chosen People”.</span></p><br /><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I truly believe that there is no such race or people as “God Chosen People”. Everyone was born within the human race, for them to become a human being. Outside of the Bible, there is no proof that any one race is first, second, third or fourth class people. Inside of the bible is where you will find all that division and hatred, based on the theory of the twelve tribes from an ancient past. In the bible is where it is taught how to treat, buy or sell another human being as your personal property. I will like for anyone who may disagree with my lecture will submit proof which is found in nature that there are chosen people or race? I will like for them NOT TO USE THEIR HOLY BOOK AS A REFERENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE their claims that they are from any “Chosen Race”.</span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I hope I can get lots of people very mad at what I have said, and after they have gotten mad at me, they will stop and think for a while to see if what I revealed here makes any sense to them whatsoever. Many people are still finding themselves in slavery and bondage and they don't even know it or what to do to escape from it. To me, and I can only speak for myself, Modern Day Religion is one of the biggest Slavery System that mankind has ever devised. There is a big difference between Religion and Spirituality.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">If you take the parallel of Physical Slavery and put it next to Religious Slavery as I have attempted to do in this lecture, you will see that they are both identical in just about every aspect. I hope I have explained in details how many of us were transported out from the plan- tation to the Chur-chation. According to one of the great physical slave liberator from the past, Harriett Tubman; she said, “I could have rescued many more of my people from slavery, if only they knew that they were slaves”. It’s about high time all right thinking people should join together to abolish slavery from the face of the earth in all its various forms; Physical as well as Religious.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">But I know that such dreams may never come through, because it will be the end of all wars and hatred among all people. No longer will we have Jews and Gentiles, Christians and Pagans, Hebrew Israelites and Esau’s, Shiites and Sunnis or all the division of the human race based on any biblical or other holy books doctrines. Religious Slavery is big business and the ones who benefit the most are not going to give up on their power that easily. Just like in the past in the United States Of America and other countries in the Western Hemisphere, there had was to be many civil wars and mass protest to stop the form of physical slavery from continuing after over four hundred years.</span></p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">This form of religious slavery may be with human beings for another thousand years before we all realized that everyone who was born from a woman is either our brother or sister and not a religious being. We have to all first try to get over what was taught to us from the bible about physical slavery, before we can move forward and live as human beings. If not, we will continue to see brothers and sisters calling themselves all different types of biblical names and still fighting one another to no end. We have to start from now and respect others who may choose not to be part of any RELIGIOUS SLAVERY SYSTEM AND BE FREE.</span></p><br /><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">End of article.

Founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard said in 1948 that “You don’t get rich writing sc<span style="font-size:14pt;">ience fiction. If you want to get rich, start a religion.”</span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">It certainly is a phenomenon and much more common today than in the past. Up until now, the Catholic Church with its many diocese and archdiocese around the globe seemed to have had captured the most fervent and committed followers. The "Church" as it is called was ruled by a Holy Papacy, a cardinal who would ascend to the throne of the Church i</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">n succession of the one preceding it. This succession of "rulers" over the Church was solidified in 325AD at the Council of Nicea, the first ecumenical <span style="font-weight:bold;">council</span> of the Christian church, where many policies were established including the term "Catholic". Religious writings heretofore considered inspired by God were gathered together under the cloak of a seeming conspiracy that determined which were to be included in the Holy Bible and which ones were to be discarded. Pagan rituals and festivals were incorporated as well in order to induce and entice the so-called pagans into the fold.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Emperor Constantine I, an unbaptized catechumen or neophyte presided over the opening session. <span style="font-weight:bold;">İznik, </span>historically <span style="font-weight:bold;">Nicaea</span>, town, northwestern <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Turkey">Turkey</a>.

Emerging from it in the course of the 4th century were two developments that contributed fundamentally to the nature of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Byzantine-Empire">Byzantine</a> and Western medieval culture: the growth of a specifically Christian, biblical culture that took its place beside the traditional Classical culture of the upper classes; and the extension of new forms of religious patronage between the secular governing classes and bishops, Christian <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intellectuals">intellectuals</a> and holy men. Constantine left much for his successors to do, but it was his personal choice made in 312 that determined the emergence of the Roman Empire as a Christian state. It is not hard to see why <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Eusebius-of-Caesarea">Eusebius</a> regarded Constantine’s reign as the fulfillment of divine <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Providence-theology">providence</a>—nor to concede the force of Constantine’s assessment of his own role as that of the 13th <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Apostle">Apostle</a>."</div>history. It was the development, after his example, of a Christianized imperial governing class that, together with his dynastic success, most firmly entrenched the privileged position of Christianity; and it was this movement of fashion, rather than the enforcement of any program of legislation, that was the basis of the Christianization of the</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><br /><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">We need only to see the status, rank and appeal of the Catholic Church today to grasp its impact on the global stage since 325 AD.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Of course there were many schisms, wars and persecutions. Conflict between the Roman Christians and the European Christians came to a head during the Protestant Reformation of the 1500's, with several reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII rising out of the midst including King James, Calvin, Luther and others. People began to question the Papacy and its proclaimed infallible power over all aspects of life that had been wielded for at least 10 centuries. Corruption and ineptitude of the Papacy, the priests and clergy even among the believers became so rampant it was time for a change in fact time for a revolution. The wealth of the Church was unspeakable and came by thru some unscrupulous practices, however, to this day it still remains the wealthy religious entity in the world. Headquartered in Rome, it has consolidated the masses to the point where dignitaries and heads of state come from around the globe to pay their respects to the Pope and his mighty guard of soldiers, priests, cardinals and clergymen.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">But somewhere along the way, the schism between the Catholics and the Protestants took an even more interesting turn. </div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">"<a href="http://www.history.com/topics/reformation">The Protestant Reformation</a> was the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. In northern and central Europe, reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic Church’s ability to define Christian practice. They argued for a religious and political redistribution of power into the hands of Bible- and pamphlet-reading pastors and princes. The disruption triggered wars, persecutions and the so-called Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church’s delayed but forceful response to the Protestants."</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49Gk0h-sqz0/WWAl9IU9OoI/AAAAAAACpZE/ORPy23LK8cEHxSChLPZrG485LAw358CGgCLcBGAs/s1600/Protestant_Reformation.png" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49Gk0h-sqz0/WWAl9IU9OoI/AAAAAAACpZE/ORPy23LK8cEHxSChLPZrG485LAw358CGgCLcBGAs/s640/Protestant_Reformation.png" width="640" alt="Protestant_Reformation.png" /></a></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Around the world we see huge edifices of worship, some even having been subdued by the advance of Islam changing Cathedrals into mosques or leveling cathedrals and erecting mosques in their place.

More than 40% of the world's Catholics live in Latin America - but Africa has seen the biggest growth in Catholic congregations in recent years.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">There are too many to list here. We will skip the "New Age" movement which also has tentacles stretching around the world and has its own way of soliciting funds from its believers, initiates, associates and cohorts. Otherwise we will never get to the hidden hand behind them all.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">So, let's go back a bit and focus on the topic of this video, the phenomenon called the Mega Church.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">It is quite an interesting phenomenon especially when you look at the amount of money that streams into them yearly. Since in the US in particular, churches are tax exempt, there is little oversight as to what a church can do, what a church is and what the congregation is responsible for. In the beginning the concept of Church was a small gathering of folks who came together to share a worship service, with others of like mind. Over time, these small gatherings would expand to larger ones and require a large "meeting hall". Meeting halls evolved to large buildings, then cathedrals and now massive stadium size buildings where worshipers visit, hearts in their hands and of course, money in their pockets.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">They gather around a charismatic "preacher", "reverend", "pastor" etc. and seek his auspices and sometimes intercession between them and "Glory". They willfully give up their earnings and savings for the promise. The advent of the Televangelists has taken this operation to a whole new level.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fOWQm1-oWu4/WWAnT2c51VI/AAAAAAACpZQ/KXZibLDGb4Us4sEbdW2xqXBka1zcoRCDQCLcBGAs/s1600/prosperitypimps1.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="100" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fOWQm1-oWu4/WWAnT2c51VI/AAAAAAACpZQ/KXZibLDGb4Us4sEbdW2xqXBka1zcoRCDQCLcBGAs/s400/prosperitypimps1.jpg" width="400" alt="prosperitypimps1.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">To quote a commenter by the name of Barbara Bush:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;font-style:italic;margin:0in;"><blockquote class="tr_bq">"What I find ironic is how much the megachurches and their preachers borrowed from rock stars. The stadiums, the laser light shows, the big screen onstage, the audience participation (The ultra loud "Are you ready to rock and roll?" shouted from the stage has become "Are you ready to accept Jesus as your savior?" and the flicking of cigarette lighters has become the waving of arms). And the preachers get plenty of ass, just like the rock stars of the 60s and 70s. Fundamentalist preachers denounced rock and roll as the devil's music but rock really worked out quite well for them, didn't it?"</blockquote></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;font-style:italic;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Continuing my research in determining what exactly is the hidden hand behind this movement I found this declassified document entitled <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP97R00694R000600050001-9.pdf">"LIBERATION THEOLOGY: RELIGION, REFORM, AND REVOLUTION"</a></span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">In brief, this document outlines the impact of Liberation Theology particularly as it relates to countries in South America that are ruled by so-called dictators. It appears to be an extension or offshoot of the Catholic Church or in a sense a reformation of the commonly available Church system inculcating the need for liberation from poverty, dictatorial rule, inequality across the social structure of the communities. Some even incorporate a violent take over of the government. While the CIA was apprehensive of its radical implications that stated that the US and other western capitalists countries were a major threat to these 3rd world nations, it also can see the advantage of these take overs and the establishment of a more democratic society. Here it can be seen that the CIA can infiltrate and manipulate according to the interests of the US. Funding certain revolutions and regime change, funneling weapons and money into these radicalized New Church goers, and on the other hand subduing and or infiltrating to align these grassroots movements to be more in accord with core principals of western democracy in particular, capitalism. When the move towards liberation includes the nationalization of resources within the countries, then a full scale divestment, sanctions or even all out war is called for.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Guerillas are created in these Churches that foster liberation theology, so again, the need for influencing both sides become even more apparent. Here we can reference the "Church Committee" and Oliver North and the impact that Oliver North had on the Sandinistas and the more successful Contras. While it may appear that this was all about religious liberation from the oppressive Catholic established church, it actually devolved into the destabilization of many countries in south America and the total ostracizing of Cuba as Castro was a strong proponent of the liberation theology. In addition it has become evident that the Papacy also participated in CIA operations especially in South America by receiving direct contributions/funding, ignoring the many atrocities perpetrated by the "liberation theology" militias or encouraging these militias. Consequently we see the CIA funding both sides of the conflict.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">So where does the CIA fit in the Christian Right Fundamentalist Prosperity Doctrine that has taken the world by storm?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Further research reveals that the fundamentalist/evangelical movements in South America were a precursor to its advent and perpetuation in North America. The experiment included but is not all exclusive of mind control cointel psyops, drug trafficking, pedophilia and child molestations, homosexuality and ramped materialism particularly as these preachers amass huge sums of money for houses, cars, private jets, luxury vacations, etc. It is curious to note that the average member of these congregations did not/do not have access to the same wealth and is some instances have lost prized possessions in their effort to gain access to the "Holy Crown" of golden glory promised to them by these preachers.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CjmwOOkw_L0/WWAom2wR59I/AAAAAAACpZg/wGsgJfnOVMg2bZoHMO-d8QyqG6Vkb8ybwCLcBGAs/s1600/530_mega-church.jpg" style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CjmwOOkw_L0/WWAom2wR59I/AAAAAAACpZg/wGsgJfnOVMg2bZoHMO-d8QyqG6Vkb8ybwCLcBGAs/s320/530_mega-church.jpg" width="320" alt="530_mega-church.jpg" /></a></div>Behind the scenes these preachers/evangelists/prosperity doctrine teachers are shrouded under various laws suits, tax evasion and other criminal activities mirroring in some instances the Mafia. They purport Zionist dispensationalism and often appear facist in their explosive sermons about who actually deserves the kingdom of heaven and who does not.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Deep inside the coven of these doctrines is an exceptionalism that may be tempting and appealing to any of those who may be outside of the fold and in order to enter the fold you must pay your fair share of tythes and then some.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">These churches are hosted in huge stadium like facilties, with dancing, bands, loud music and lots of cheering while the preacher booms through his expensive sound equipment messages of prosperity and abundance that every one is supposedly entitled to. Though many of them if not most of them, seldom see the wealth that their preachers boast of having themselves. In fact, they are told if they don't have it, they must be doing something wrong.<br /> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ds1uMM1YEI8/WWAqS49KgoI/AAAAAAACpZs/0BnEQYuYk9IQUgZ2sPeVty4XfEVn09zUgCLcBGAs/s1600/Bishop%2BOyedepo%25E2%2580%2599s%2Bchurch%25E2%2580%2599s.gif" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ds1uMM1YEI8/WWAqS49KgoI/AAAAAAACpZs/0BnEQYuYk9IQUgZ2sPeVty4XfEVn09zUgCLcBGAs/s400/Bishop%2BOyedepo%25E2%2580%2599s%2Bchurch%25E2%2580%2599s.gif" width="400" alt="Bishop%2BOyedepo%25E2%2580%2599s%2Bchurch%25E2%2580%2599s.gif" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">It is a well known fact that CIA operations are supposed to be done abroad, while the FBI, DHS and various other intelligence agencies work in the United States. However, the link between what started in South and Central America through Billy Graham, Falwell, AmeriCares, and a host of other evangelical/fundamentalist operations have stretched its tentacles into the United States as can be seen with the connection between these organizations on mainland USA and South and Central America. Some of these even harken back to Rev. Moon and even futher back to Billy Graham who has been purported to be not only a CIA asset but a freemason.</span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">This research open up a rabbit hole that I had never expected to go down. Through declassified CIA documents, to the destabilization of Central and South America with the "liberation theology" and full circle to the movement of Mega Churches here in the US.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">One of the most interesting discoveries was finding out who the riches pastors/preachers were in 2017, and on that list were 4 preachers from Nigeria. It seems that the concept of the Mega church has spread from the south to the north to the West and now Africans in Nigeria are rivaling the movement.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_63pA6QK4Pg/WWAno0zmDhI/AAAAAAACpZU/6B57dciAYj822jdxUjfbuwD5m-GR6lsRgCLcBGAs/s1600/Edir%2BMacedo-Brazil%2527s%2BBillionaire%2BBishop.jpg" style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_63pA6QK4Pg/WWAno0zmDhI/AAAAAAACpZU/6B57dciAYj822jdxUjfbuwD5m-GR6lsRgCLcBGAs/s320/Edir%2BMacedo-Brazil%2527s%2BBillionaire%2BBishop.jpg" width="320" alt="Edir%2BMacedo-Brazil%2527s%2BBillionaire%2BBishop.jpg" /></a></div>One outstanding example of this phenomenon of the material wealth that these preachers acquire is that of Edir Macedo, who establish the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, in Rio de Janeiro who is a billionaire from Brazil who has several businesses that include radios stations where he is broadcast as far as Australia.

They have become active in politics particularly the Republican party and were strong backers of the Donald Trump campaign. Springing out of the Bible belt with Billy Graham and stretching to South America it ricochet back and pulled those seeking Liberation from poverty, changed the slogans to Prosperity and fostered their evangelism through elaborate displays on television. Establishing the TBN these evangelists catered to physical as well as viewing audiences from around the country and around the globe. Seeking to have what they were manipulated to believe that Jesus did not want them to be poor, therefore, the Kingdom should be enjoyed here on Earth as well as in the Hereafter, although the hereafter became more and more an obscure goal as the riches promised in the present were displayed audaciously by these Televangelists.</span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IWqGgLqtimA/WWAqincNedI/AAAAAAACpZw/tuvpB3UJ05Akj90X4mid6P45RP1b6QbagCLcBGAs/s1600/benny_hinn-india.jpg" style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IWqGgLqtimA/WWAqincNedI/AAAAAAACpZw/tuvpB3UJ05Akj90X4mid6P45RP1b6QbagCLcBGAs/s320/benny_hinn-india.jpg" width="320" alt="benny_hinn-india.jpg" /></a></div>There is a plethora of YouTube videos demonstrating the audacious antics of these Televangelists. Benny Hinn is a prime example along with Creflo Dollar and TD Jakes, but for what its worth, their influence is amazing in its magnetic ability to draw tens of thousands to their assemblies. Additionally, the music in these assemblies changed dramatically to resemble more of a rock concert than that of the more somber predecessors. It's ironic to see them decry the debauchery of the fallen angels and their sinful ways, while they haughtily display the love of monetary abundance, success and notoriety.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">These folks have pr managers, brands, marketing strategies, billboards and campaigns that all resemble what any modern day corporation would engage in in order to "sell" their product. The difference being that these folks are able to skirt around many laws and tax levies as they claim to be a "religious" organization. It is quite a curious phenomenon to behold.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">It would seem that infiltration, manipulation and even leading some of these enclaves of riches would be the order of the day for any intelligence agency in the US. These institutions are a perfect cover for criminal activities as the leaders of these organizations have become so corrupted they have made themselves likely candidates for blackmail and subversion.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uDDyWEFqhwQ/WWAsYGRae4I/AAAAAAACpZ8/aBrEPWBepYwJ_XESpSkiVyY6iz4cagZxgCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/SK-Pastor_David_Yonggi_Cho-Embezzling.png"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uDDyWEFqhwQ/WWAsYGRae4I/AAAAAAACpZ8/aBrEPWBepYwJ_XESpSkiVyY6iz4cagZxgCK4BGAYYCw/s640/SK-Pastor_David_Yonggi_Cho-Embezzling.png" width="640" alt="SK-Pastor_David_Yonggi_Cho-Embezzling.png" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">We have seen some of these individuals face the "music" as claims of pedophilia, drug abuse, sexual harassment, tax evasion, dysfunctional families, HIV-AIDS and even murder in some cases.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">How are these individuals allowed to rise to such positions of power and influence over thousands and sometimes millions of people worldwide? How are they able to fly around in private jets, live in sprawling mansions, take expensive vacations, and even solicit prostitutes and father children out of wed lock and maintain their positions of preachers/pastors/healers, etc?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">My research indicates that they are covers or fronts for secretive operations. The secrecy of these operations make it hard to pinpoint succinctly what and how they are conducted, but it does become apparent when from time to time, one of these individuals is "outed" by the media, for whatever reason. One can only surmise that they are outed because at some point they went beyond the pale and stepped on the wrong toes. </div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IryNT3Nx_8E/WWAoXZeMFNI/AAAAAAACpZc/xl4nU35xZ_kom_6YnufOmlJeBmH4tS01ACLcBGAs/s1600/new-world-order-new%2Bhuman.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="125" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IryNT3Nx_8E/WWAoXZeMFNI/AAAAAAACpZc/xl4nU35xZ_kom_6YnufOmlJeBmH4tS01ACLcBGAs/s400/new-world-order-new%2Bhuman.jpg" width="400" alt="new-world-order-new%2Bhuman.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Clearly, there is a hidden hand behind these groups. This hand has many fingers that are manipulating many pies. From what I can surmise, the biggest and most powerful finger, is that of mind control experiment leading to a NWO type of homogeneous religious expression that crosses continents and connects people of all walks of life into this enormous fold of single minded, easily manipulated masses that will do the bidding of their leaders. These leaders are given marching orders and all must comply. Unbeknownst to the average stadium church going person, they are being drawn into a grand experiment that will render them into some type of symbiotic bondage. They will give up their own intuitive ability to discern and follow their leader to the slaughter as it were, like in the case of Jim Jones.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">These charismatic leaders are specifically selected for their ability to hone the masses into a trance like state where they can implant various messages and commands that these stadium going folks will follow without question. This is clearly seen as they offer these demigods there last dime for the advancements they are promised.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">So, apart from the crowd control that happens at the rock concerts and sports stadiums, here we have crowd control under the auspices of religion and receiving religious blessings and glory from the Rock Star, Super Hero Evangelist. In essence, the powers that be have covered all the basis of human experience enmasse and are steadily testing and retesting its impact on the human psyche for their ultimate agenda of total control. They are able to seed the minds of the masses around the globe through this religious infiltration. They are able to destabilize governments, uproot indigenous practices, forestall communist threat, install socialistic agendas, hide nefarious activities, traffic drugs and humans, set up dictators who are amenable to capitalism, remove those who resist their marching orders, launder money through front churches, and totally divest all participants of any sovereignty, traumatize others and acquire accolades and Peace Prizes in the process.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">In a book called "War In Heaven" it states….

We have more gun laws now than ever before. Less types of guns are legally available to the average citizen than ever before. We also have more “gun-free zones,” zones where, just by the way, most of these shootings happen (because mass shooters do not follow laws or care about zones, obviously). So that’s not it.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span style="color:#545454;">We have debated whether or not </span><a href="http://truthstreammedia.com/2013/06/11/cdc-to-study-gun-violence-ignore-link-to-antidepressants/">antidepressant medications are playing a role</a><span style="color:#545454;"> in these events. Even a cursory glance at the </span><a href="http://www.ssristories.net/school-shootings/">SSRI stories school shootings database</a><span style="color:#545454;"> would suggest there is some substantial evidence behind this theory. We know that many of these mass shooters were either on psychotropic medications at the time of the shooting, or withdrawing from them.</span></div><div style="color:#545454;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="color:#545454;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">However, Prozac was approved for use in the United States back in 1987. Antidepressant medications have been around and in widespread use in America for decades now. That factor alone cannot entirely explain all these mass shootings recently.</div><div style="color:#545454;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span style="color:#545454;">Not to mention that </span><a href="http://gawker.com/5968561/five-of-the-twelve-deadliest-gun-massacres-in-us-history-took-place-during-obamas-first-term/">five out of the 12 deadliest mass shootings in American history</a><span style="color:#545454;"> have happened not just since Barack Obama became president, but </span><span style="color:#545454;font-style:italic;">just under his first term</span><span style="color:#545454;"> as president alone.

<div><p><b>July 4, 2012</b> </p><p><b>Raynard Jackson</b></p><p>As we celebrate Independence Day here in the US, I wonder when the Black community is going to learn the true meaning of this day when it comes to politics.</p><p>Independence Day, or Fourth of July, is about freedom to think, be, imagine and to live. In the U.S., July 4, 1776 was the day we celebrate our freedom from Great Britain. Even though the adoption of the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 2, 1776, it is celebrated on the 4<sup>th</sup>.</p><p>Our desire to separate from Great Britain wasn’t just about a geographical break; it was about the mental, as well. So, we took the best from the Brits and mixed it with our own ways to come up with what we now call America. </p><p>Sending the Declaration of Independence to King George III was an act of final defiance by America. George and Great Britain finally recognized America with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.</p><p>Former President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, thus freeing Blacks from slavery. In many ways, Blacks were more free then, than we are now. Blacks back then, had a sense of family, owned their own businesses, and fought for full rights in society.</p><p>Blacks back then never fought for “equality” because no one can make you equal; they, instead, fought for equal opportunity! Their attitude was, just remove all the artificial barriers and we can make it on our own.</p><p>Today, we allow Republicans to ignore us and the Democrats to only give us lip service. We have become so obsessed with symbolism that no one feels the need to do anything of any substance for our community.</p><p>We, as Blacks, have achieved equal rights, but not equal opportunity. So, by helping to put a Black in the White House, we thought we would finally get equal opportunity. Wrong!</p><p>We have a President that has more than gone out of his way, as a calculated political strategy, to ignore the very people who gave him the largest share of their vote (96%). He has consciously showered upon illegals and homosexuals the spoils of victory at the expense of Blacks. And what do we do? We say give him four more years. Go figure!</p><p>So, on this Independence Day, please, Black people, try to free your mind from the tyranny that is the Democratic Party and Barack Obama.</p><p>Sometimes, you have to lose in order to win. Sometimes you have to allow your opponents to win to force your party not take you for granted. </p><p>Britain was not happy that America freed itself from the monarchy. As a matter of fact, we fought several wars with Britain over this very matter. But, as a result of this sometimes deadly give and take, our two countries have become very close indeed; so much so that we have what is called a “special relationship.”</p><p>Just think, where would we be if we were only content to have independence from Britain? We not only wanted our freedom, but we wanted to establish a more fair and equitable trade policy with Britain; we wanted to pursue our own geo-political interests throughout the world; and we wanted to have our own currency—in other words, a total break from Britain.</p><p>Where our interests merged, we worked together; when they differed, we pursued our own course.</p><p>We, as Blacks, need to immulate this model. If the White House wants to address the high unemployment rate in the Black community, we should work with them. When they try to inject 1 million illegals into the work force, they should be opposed. When Obama tell Blacks to “stop complaining,” while catering to homosexuals and illegals, we should oppose him.</p><p>Independence Day is about celebrating the freedom obtained through opposing those who are not furthering our own interests. So, on this Independence Day, I challenge Blacks to stand against Obama’s political strategy that says ignore and marginalize us. Blacks should have the guts enough to protest, like the homosexuals and illegals did. </p><p>Obama rightly calculates that Blacks will only complain and then go out to vote for him without him having to give us anything by way of policy. Slavery is not just physical, but also mental. We have been freed physically and legally, but functionally, we are still enslaved to the Democratic Party.</p><p>Only when we realize that the power of the vote is the true key to independence, will we be willing to vocally confront Obama’s insidious political strategy towards Blacks.</p><p><i>Raynard Jackson is president & CEO of Raynard Jackson & Associates, LLC., a D.C.-public relations/government affairs firm.

The Today Show Kicks Curry to the Curb

<div><br /><br />By Gloria Dulan-Wilson<br /><br />You know, I used to watch the Today Show religiously every morning before going to work – but then there was something to watch – Bryant Gumble was the host and he made it come alive for me and my children. In fact, they grew up on the Today Show, and learned a great deal during those days. <br /><br />I even continued to watch when they brought on Katy Couric. But, truth be told, when Bryant Gumble left, so did I. I haven't checked in to the show since then, unless there was an announcement that someone special would be featured.<br /><br />Likewise, I had begun to be a devotee of Good Morning America, with Robin Roberts, until she humiliated Chris Brown on national TV. From that point on I've not really bothered with the good morning talking heads, chatterbox genre. I actually resent the fact that the shows start at 4:00 AM and continue, ad nauseum, until 10:00. I call it cheap network programming. <br /><br />However, that does not mean that I was not aware of, and cognizant of who the anchors were; just wasn't interested in them. Matt Lauer, to me, was an interloper who had had the great good fortune of becoming a staple on the show by default of the fact that Gumble was no longer there. <br /><br />So when the flack arose about Ann Curry, I was totally puzzled at what could have possibly generated such negativity. I've watched her over the years, and she's a credible journalist, with a pleasant personality. And while she may not pander to some of the inanities that are employed to keep people engaged in the show, she certainly has always been a professional in her own right. Her stepping in to the shoes of Meredith Viera, however, on the Today Show, was kind of like arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, as far as I was concerned, since the show was already sinking.<br /><br />What I did not appreciate was the fact that Lauer and crew have tried to make the ratings her fault. She actually apologized for “dropping the ball!” What! The sister has fifteen years in that show. She has done the yeoman's job of reporting from remote places, and under circumstances that I long ago decided I did not want to be involved in as a journalist (which is probably why I'm not on the show – too much work). <br /><br />This morning's farewell was the first time I have watched the show in nearly 10 years. And I felt as though she was being scape goated by the rest of the cast and crew for their shortcomings. And people, I was not pleased! <br /><br />Who the Sam Hill is it that has the audacity to blame her for not floating an anvil? And where does Ann get off co-signing that drivel? In any other situation, she is one of the top journalists on TV, bar none. She doesn't have to take heat (or hatred) from anyone. If anything, they need to change the format of that tired old dinosaur, and come up with some thing more relevant than talking heads.<br /><br />She stated, <span style="font-weight:bold;">"For all of you who saw me as a groundbreaker, I am sorry I could not carry the ball across the finish line,"</span> and then she started to cry. I hope her kids weren't watching that madness. I actually had hoped her husband would have been there to stand up for her. These people were trying to crucify this woman on national TV!! <br /><br />The only other bright spot on that show is Al Roker, who gave her words of encouragement. But for the most part, there seemed to be some sort of tacit lynchmob concensus that Ann Curry should leave the show, because she couldn't cut it. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Realllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????????</span> <br /><br />According to the posts on Yahoo, there are many fans who feel that she has been an asset to the show, but that Matt Lauer was apparently outclassed, and this is the “lack of chemistry” they keep alluding to:<br /><br />"The ball" Curry referred to was code for ratings. As media reporters have suggested, Curry' journalistic disposition hadn't won over as many morning show viewers' hearts as did Meredith Vieira, who she replaced on "the couch" last year. Complaints over her lack of "chemistry" with Lauer were jockeyed around enough that part of her departing speech included the implied protestation: "Matt and I have had great on-air chemistry for 14 years." <br /><br />Overall, Curry's been lauded by colleagues and critics for handling her departure with "class." The Huffington Post's media blog backed Curry up, pointing the finger at NBC on Twitter: "Meredith Vieira got a two-hour farewell. Ann Curry was given 5 minutes after 15 years on the show." <br /><br />As it stands, Curry is rumored to be replaced by Savannah Guthrie, a woman more than a decade younger than her, who is believed to have more "chemistry" with Lauer. Should an esteemed, accomplished journalist really apologize for not winning what seems like a sexist, unfair, and unjust race? Not according to an outpouring of fans commenting on her farewell speech posted to Yahoo's homepage this morning”. <br /><br />Their nearest rival, Kathie Lee and Hoda, neither of whom are journalists, are apparently getting over in the AM genre, with morning cocktails and very little in the way of real news or public affairs. <br /><br />Curry, who according to all the online bio's is Japanese, American Indian, with just a hint of French, Irish and something else, apparently does not wear her skirt too short or her blouse too low, leaving her looking like the hopeless professional she is. It's also rumored that she has been “demoted” from her anchor position, and has a “new title” - wonder what it is?<br /><br />The ratings game has been around for eons, and is supposedly a measure how well liked the show is in the polls. Then should check out the producer and program director. However, as one individual stated, "It's all about entertainment and ratings," wrote one commenter. "There was a time when the Today Show was really about news, [but] not anymore. More power to Ms. Curry, she is the only one on there who is truly a journalist anyway." <br /><br />The only thing I can say is that with Ms. Curry being pushed off the show, there is an additional reason that I no longer watch the Today Show. Sorry Al.<br /><br />To Ann, good luck and God Bless. The $10 million severance pay you received should at least lessen the blow.

The center of attraction will be the AGCI African American Pavilion Booth #3486.</span><br /> <br /> According to Simon & Schuster, Michael Baisden is “probably the most successful self-published African American male author out there today,” with such titles as <span style="font-style:italic;">"Never Satisfied: How and Why Men Cheat", "Men Cry in the Dark", "The Maintenance Man", "God's Gift to Women"</span> and most recently a hot new book <span style="font-style:italic;">“Never Satisfied: Do Men Know What They Want?”</span> - - nearly 2 million books in print both hard and soft cover. Two of his titles were adapted into stage plays playing to sold out crowds across the US.<br /> <br /> He is also one of the most widely listened to and influential broadcast personalities in the history of radio. Considered a people magnet, he has redefined both the broadcast and publishing industry records. His books, like his talk shows, are a blend of entertainment, humor, provocative subjects, sexuality and wisdom. His ratings have consistantly been at the top of the charts. He is currently in 78 markets nationally, and has over 8 million loyal listeners daily who tune in to the conversation, which is a mix of relationship talk/advice, hot topics, politics, coupled with “Old School” and today's R&B music. He's a triple treat of education, entertainment and enlightenment. In 2007 he partnered with TV One to host and co-produce “Baisden After Dark.” The hit show features band leader Morris Day and comedian George Wilborn, and airs daily on the TV One Network.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Zane</span>, a New York Times Best-Selling Author, broke all records and is now the largest selling author of her genre in the world! Indeed, Swiss Public Television produced a documentary entitled <span style="font-weight:bold;">“Zane: Queen of Erotica,”</span> in honor of her ability to cross age and gender lines with the popular books on sex and erotica. Her company, Strebor Books International, is dedicated to publishing a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books, and to finding and developing the careers of cutting edged authors who take risks with their stories. <br /> <br /> Zane's rise from a self-published grass roots author, to one who now holds a major place in Simon and Schuster in less than five years, she has become the inspiration and beacon for others seeking to find their voice and make their mark in the world of new age literature, where no subject is sacred. As Creator, Scriptwriter and Executive Producer of <span style="font-style:italic;">"Zane's Sex Chronicles,"</span> the highly rated Cinemax series based loosely on her real life, and the upcoming "Zane's The Jump Off," premiering on Cinemax Spring 2013, she shows the rest of the world how to go from dreaming and wishing to being and doing. She is currently writing two feature film screenplays, a broadway musical, and her novel "Addicted" is scheduled to be filmed this summer by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Lionsgate.</span> It's clear that Zane knows and understands what will be "the next big thing" as proven with her own success.<br /> <br /> A formidable foe of domestic violence, she dealt with its effects on children in her book, <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Breaking the Cycle,"</span> which was the 2006 NAACP Image Award winner for Outstanding Literature. She was featured in the HBO documentary "The Black List," which examined the lives of African-American “overachievers” like Toni Morrison, Colin Powell, Russell Simmons, Sean "Puffy" Combs, and Chris Rock. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">BookExpo America,</span> one of the largest book trade exhibits in the world, provides independent African American book publishers, self publishers, authors, Black Interest Imprints at major publishing houses, distributors, literary agents, publicists, librarians and bookstore owners exposure to 20,561 book buyers and booksellers from across the globe. The three-day book expo takes place at the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jacob Javits Convention Center,</span> New York City June 5th - 7th 2012.<br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"><br /> Tony Rose, Amber Communications Group International (ACGI)'s Publisher/CEO,</span> founded the African American Pavilion at BookExpo America (BEA) in 2004. Since then he has featured special guest appearances by Magic Johnson, Haki Madhubuti, Wesley Snipes, Tavis Smiley, Tom Joyner, Zane, Kassahun Checole, W. Paul Coates, George Fraser, Omarosa, Sybil Wilkes, Flava Flav, Coach Tony Dungee, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Terrie Williams, Dr. Steve Perry (CNN & Random House), Max Rodriguez (The Harlem Book Fair) and Annette Thomas (NAACP Image Awards Literary Coordinator), to name a few. <br /> <br /> Now in its 9th year, Amber Communication Group, Inc.'s African American Pavilion Booth at BEA, will showcase African American books, authors, products and publishers, providing. great opportunities to learn, share, educate, sell and network.<br /> <br /> Along with Michael Baisden and Zane, the 2012 invited guests will include: Book Industry Leaders - Carol Mackey (Black Expressions Book Club), Troy Johnson (AALBC), Ron Kavanaugh (Mosaic Books), Malaika Adero (Atria Books/Simon and Schuster), Dawn Davis (Armistad Press / Harper Collins), Judith Curr (Atria Books/Simon and Schuster), , Cheryl Woodruf (Smiley Books), LaToya Smith (Grand Central Publishing), Dante Lee (Diversity City Media), Dr. Farrah Grey (Philanthropist), Wade and Cheryl Hudson (Just Us Books), Clara Villarosa, Lesleigh Underwood (Kensington Press), Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati (Publicist) and Selena James (Kensington Press). <br /> <br /> Authors will include: Mary B.

<div><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedMousePad-1.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedMousePad-1.jpg" /></span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;">According to O'Guin, Allen and Semenik in their book Advertising and Intergrated Brand Promotion, the new world of advertising is full of companies who are looking for new ways to get their brand across to audience and potential consumers. In this seemingly ad cluttered environment, small businesses are caught in the struggle between big corporation on how to make their brand visible and recognizable, send out culturally relevant in a refreshing way and become top-on-the-minds of audience and potential customers. How can new small businesses favorably compete considering the criteria listed above. Let us examine one of ResQ Records brand: The Omogo Reloaded Logo. The Omogo Reloaded logo is good because it is simple, representative and fresh.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedAppointmentCard.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedAppointmentCard.jpg" /></span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;">Omogo Reloaded brand, Yahoo, Disney and Taco Bell brand all have something in common: Simplicity. When encountered, they are supposed to evoke some sort of feelings in the minds of audience. In comparison, the 4 brands have visual simplicity. These brands employ texts and sometimes an image (as seen in TACO BELL). In the music industry, ResQ Records is a new player with a relatively new genre of music called Afrofusion. The logo just spells the brand out in bold uncomplicated type-face, the smaller font well spaced to hold the weight of the larger ones on top. There are just two colors: Green and black plus the neutral white. The task is to clearly communicate the essence of the music to potential audience and customers and keeping the new logo simple will make recall and association easy for music enthusiasts, potential industry business partners and customers. Simplicity is synonymous to recall and easy recognizability and the Omogo Reloaded brand has that quality.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedT-Shirt2.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedT-Shirt2.jpg" /></span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;">As Disney appeals to the fun-loving population and Yahoo to the instant messaging internet users, the Omogo Reloaded logo is packed with cultural appeal. The text is set in white background with green on either side. Green-White-Green is the flag of Nigeria, where Afrofusion originates evolving from Afrobeat. According to WorldFlags101.com, " The green stripes represent Nigeria's agriculture industry and its lush vegetation and the white stripe represents the desire for peace and unity within the country". In relation to Afrofusion blend of music, the green and white mean flourishing in harmony. Brand logos do not just represent names, they carry meanings. Here in North America, almost everyone is familiar with the recycle symbol. It is also used as part of the brand. Representation is what makes the Omogo Reloaded logo better. It is packed with meaning of cultural relevance that an African, American and global audience can relate to.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedPen.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedPen.jpg" /></span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;">Notice that the "G" in Omogo has been slightly and intentionally rotated to imitate recycle symbol and the refresh button. This symbol is common on the internet and eye-catching. It represents giving vitality to something that may be worn out. Refreshing, starting afresh and new are the intended messages. At the same time, the rotated "G" also represent ResQ Records consciousness of the diminishing state of the world's resources and our support for the green revolution like encouraging dowloads and reading electronic copies instead of print-outs. The world craves new and refreshing ideas and the Omogo Reloaded brand represents just that. The word, "Reloaded" is implied in the rotated "G" and along the line of brand evolution, all other elements on the logo will be dropped. Like the NIKE swoosh, the slightly tilted G with a arrow head will come to identify Afrofusion music by Omogo Reloaded, percieve as something new/fresh and infigurating.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedOversizedPostcard2.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedOversizedPostcard2.jpg" /></span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;">It's lunch time and you're driving on highway 33, when you spot a fast food restuarant sign. Almost immediately, you're feeling hungrier. Result and that's what an advertisers in that industry desire.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedBizCard-1.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedBizCard-1.jpg" /></span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;">For the Omogo Reloaded brand, the composition is created to stimulate ones imagination by arousing one's curiousity. A look at top ranking national and international brands will reveal their simplicity, their struggle to be very represnetative and relavant in meaning transmission to audience and strive to stay fresh. The Omogo Reloaded brand possesses the above-mentioned qualities, making it very easy to recall. Upon immediate recognition and recollection, certain subtle cultural messages are conjured and a sense of affiliation with the brand is established. It is easy to support a brand that customers have a connection with. This connection is importnat to the survival of a brand.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000;"><a href="http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/?action=view&current=OmogoReloadedOversizedPostcard.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/rescueranjazz/OmogoReloadedOversizedPostcard.jpg" /></a></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><iframe width="853" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uzMPkukFLcI" frameborder="0"></iframe></span></div>

<div><p><b>“Instead of Waiting On The World To Change just open your eyes and see the truth"</b><br /> Educate yourselves about what is really going on, and avoid the trap that so many have fallen so deeply into.</p><p>During the 1960’s Black revolutionaries such as Malcolm X and Stokley Carmichael were most often revered as heroes of the black community. Today we often find that such like minded Blacks that are culturally conscious (Afro-centric/ Black Revolutionary types) are often misunderstood or underappreciated by the Black Masses. They are now often accused of being unconstructive militants that subscribe to an outdated rhetoric appropriate only for past conditions that have since been overcome by Blacks.</p><p>These culturally conscious Blacks are also often mocked and reviled for not accepting the popular premise that it is they themselves (Blacks) that are now their own worst enemy. Such sentiments have become so popular that it may even be found within the speeches of America’s first Black President. This popular black self deprecating consensus and common ill perceptions towards the more afro centric types among their groups are more than just some unknown phenomenon. They are in fact both the result of a well orchestrated massive insidious social engineering program. It is a deliberately deplored psychosocial program used to assault the Black psyche as a means of maintaining white dominance and control. It is being implemented through totally white control media outlets that subjects Black people to seeing only the fraudulent worst within them. Its negative misinformation, imageries and partial truths are deliberately designed to imply white superiority and to break down Black unity. </p><p>Many journalists working for public relations firms are now hired by a U.S. government department to produce fake news reports. These false reports are being presented as factual news by journalists, and are rebroadcast by news stations. It is never revealed that segments are from a PR firm hired by the government, thus giving it the appearance of genuine news. Today what are often deemed as being credible news sources are often totally made up stories made to push an agenda or meet a governmental objective. As a means of meeting its unrelenting objective of maintaining its white racial dominance and control, the U.S. government now secretly disseminates racially devaluing fake news reports and fraudulent misinformation through the national and local media regarding its Black population. This propaganda is being used to shape the mind and collective perceptions of Blacks to accept the belief of white superiority and white dominance over their lives.</p><p>Whether it is in the field of politics, religion, history, archeology, science, and all given statistics- as long as the white elites remain as the authorities over such fields they will always give to blacks only those information implying their white superiority. Because when they own the information they shape it to say what they want it to say. Therefore, as long as Black people continue to accept information about themselves that is totally compiled by white people as fact, they will always deal with self deprecating thoughts of themselves.</p><p>Many Black people can attest to the fact that they are being deplorable inaccurately depicted through the white control media. However, most Black people do not recognize the detrimental consequences of such negative portrayals. These negative portrayals of African Americans are a deliberate modern system of psychological warfare. Moreover, it works very much like any other massive public relations marketing campaign used for shaping and manipulating public opinion. </p><p>Fake news reports about African Americans are deliberately disseminated unrelentingly everywhere through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of the White racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. It is an insidious yet very sophisticated system of control designed to engender self hatred and division among Black people and detach them from their sense of power. It conditions blacks to not only accept white dominance over their lives, but to also prefer it by convincing them that they are their own worst enemy. </p><p> </p><p>One example of this mass manipulation program can be seen in the all too common news video footages showing the brave white physicians giving medical aid to Africans. These imageries are deliberately over perpetuated continuously around the world. They are actually propaganda programs designed to make whites appear as saviors of the world thus engendering feeling indebtedness towards whites among the Black masses. It also leaves the Black masses totally oblivious of the fact that Africa is often the testing ground for many untested drugs made by these western countries. Drugs not yet approved by the FDA to be used in the United States [and other European countries] on humans are however being used on Africans. Most Blacks are also unaware of the CIA economic hit men strategies and unfair trade practices designed by European and American governmental policy makers that directly attributes not only to Africa remaining a third world country but also to the deaths of millions of Africans every year. In fact the policies and actions of Western governments have contributed to more African deaths than it has to African lives saved. Despite this fact, the Black masses are instead made to feel forever indebted to whites. This is due to the success of these well orchestrated PR marketing campaign favoring whites.</p><p>The media’s immense ability to manipulate the masses should never be under estimated nor can it ever be overstated. News reports about a fake swine flu out break can convince millions of people not to attend work and to even pull their children out of school. The media is often manipulated through professional public relations (PR) firms, and covert and overt government agencies which disseminate propaganda as news. These media reports are used to promote certain political policies, ideologies and governmental objectives. They are also often used as smear tactics to discredit, and /or destroy the reputation of someone or to defame or marginalize a particular targeted ethnic group. It can either involve outright lies, or a distortion of the truth that are then disseminated nationally as well as internationally reaching millions. This is precisely what is being done to African Americans to ensure that America’s white racial dominance and control be maintained.</p><p>The U.S. government now secretly uses its proven method of social engineering by way of mass media manipulation -through fake news reports- against its Black population. It is an insidious yet very sophisticated system of control that creates deplorable false misinformation and media reports about its Black population. The weapon of this psychological warfare is within the messages that it carries and how these messages adversely affect its targeted Black recipient group.</p><p>Its constant relentless bombardment of deplorably negative imageries of African Americans is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of America’s Black population by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche drills the message perpetuating the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. It also impresses upon the Blacks psyche that they are powerless, of lesser moral, and intelligence and that they need Whites to govern over their lives. It totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. Moreover, it corrupts African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group while insinuating that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites. Additionally it conditions America’s Black population to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. Its propaganda and manipulations practices divides to conquer and misinforms to exploit and suppress it Black population and it is being deployed in all sectors - government, media, health and welfare, entertainment, and education, etc- nationally and internationally.</p><p> </p><p class="ie6">This above example of the U.S. government using the media to form public opinion to meet its governmental objectives is not new at all. In an interview with John Stauber from prwatch.org he notes that issues such as “fake news” have been around for years: “There is a widespread use of fake news, we’re talking thousands of stories a year. This billion dollar sub-industry of the P.R. industry has been going on for several decades, and the mainstream media hardly ever exposes them in any length and depth.”</p><p>It is surmised that this manipulation program directed against African Americans was implemented in 1968 in the face of widespread violence that ensued after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King’s brutal assassination led to many demonstrations of unrest and rioting disturbances; that of which were reported in more than 100 cities across the nation. This violence resulted in the loss of lives and property that cost the nation and taxpayers millions of dollars and increasingly placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy. America’s brutal racial mistreatment of African Americans had appeared to have reached its boiling point creating much unrest and discord. These factors, combined with the rapidly tarnishing American global image, led to the then president, Lyndon B Johnson, ordering that a commission be formed, later known as the Kerner Commission, to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem. The Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems. This finding required the U.S. Government’s agents of White supremacy to reform their techniques of institutionalized racism.</p><p> </p><p>The Kerner report’s findings required that the U.S. Government abandon it’s condoning of open, blatant forms of racism to control and maintain White dominance. This abandoning of dated tactics led to the need for developing an improved method of controlling and suppressing its Black population. Changing times made it necessary for the U.S. government to change its methods to a much more subtle and socially acceptable means of continuing its racial suppression of Blacks and to maintain its White dominance. Clearly, the sophisticated method of psychological warfare met such a need. It was the logical choice, perfect for the changing times. Unlike the blatantly brutal forms of racism used in the past, which Blacks were able to identify easily and therefore unify and form counter strategies, this modern method of racism works from a psychological perspective. This provided the U.S. government a more socially acceptable method of continuing the White racial hierarchy for dominance and control given that it is not as easily recognized. This new method exists in the space between overt racism and racial respect. Its methods include the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among Americans that meet the U.S government objective. </p><p> </p><p class="style28"> The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is the message that it carries and the way that it adversely affects the targeted recipient group in terms of their behavior. Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans. Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own boat even if their own ship was in fact better.</p><p class="style28"> </p><p>Within a real life setting this mortifying psychological manipulation is precisely what is being done to African Americans through an immense campaign of false derogatory misinformation and false negative media reports, fake news, and statistics that are created by U.S. governmental agencies and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the stories as their own. These false information about African Americans is then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages affect the targeted recipients.</p><p>The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with throughout the media is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is designed to subject African Americans to seeing, through a controlled national media, only the worst in themselves-- while insinuating that they admire, respect, and trust only Whites. This unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to corrupt African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, and engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group. Many Blacks may even begin to feel that there is something not quite right about their Black humanity. To the detriment of Blacks, this system of applied psychological conditioning has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility.</p><p>Moreover, all African Americans have experienced the burden of this psychological warfare, some more severely than others have. It is experienced every time we [Blacks] read a newspaper, watch the evening news, enter a classroom, and read its racially biased textbooks. And while many Black Americans have successfully navigated through the psychology mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, but for far too many African Americans this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won and likely to manifest negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms. In fact, this governmental mortifying psychological warfare against African Americans may be the most aggravating, if not core, factor of the national phenomenon of self hatred; loss of educational aspirations; loss of unity, cohesion and racial pride; and fragile psyches of many African Americans today. Moreover, this type of psychological manipulation program has been proven very effective in rapidly destroying a group’s ethical and moral values and cultural norms with regard to violence, brutality, and even murder. All people are products of cultural conditions and their worldviews operate outside of their level of consciousness. Therefore, no group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact. This mass manipulation program is In fact, so proficient at damaging the Black self-perception that tragically it has become easier for many Blacks to accept derogatory premises of themselves rather than recognizing this program.</p><p> </p><p>This mass psychological conditioning program also significantly influences society as a whole. Its ultimate goal is to foster a consensual national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily divided, exploited and ultimately suppressed. The media’s constant negative imagery of Black Americans is not only fraudulently inaccurate but is actually being done to engender a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore insinuates that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone, thus engendering increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today and attempts discourage miscegenation between Blacks and whites. It also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans. Wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has become that it’s all now justified.</p><p>When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the most fiercest and effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated disproportionately incarcerated under the belief that it is justified.] It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. This campaign successfully stripped African Americans of the national and international support that was acquired during the 1960's civil rights struggles. This anti Black governmental campaign of psychological warfare also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. Moreover, some studies have shown that this shift of victimization now reflects increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation. </p><p>The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need—because it covertly creates a national climate that allows the government to suppress consensually the advancement of its African American population and to maintain its White dominance and national stability. These words are not the declaration of an anti white racist, but are instead the indisputable truth affirmed by thousands of years of history. Through out western history when people in power wanted to conquer a people or maintain their dominance over a people they have done so by manipulating that targeted group of people. Therefore the perception of the suppressed group is not their own but is instead impressed upon them without their knowing it.</p><p>The insidious propaganda and public opinion manipulations (including mind control agendas) is covered at greater length in the book The Black Matrix by Franklin Jones at <a href="http://www.DivineBlacktruth.org">www.DivineBlacktruth.org</a></p><p> </p><p> </p></div>

It is not uncommon to hear these negative sentiments about their own race now echoed by many African Americans themselves—they that consider themselves as being exceptions to this norm. This perception often engenders profound feelings of immense humiliation, racial self contempt, and disunity among many African Americans in the 21st-century. But are these self contemptuous views among so many African Americans correct?</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">And if so how have African Americans, the racial group that demonstrated an unprecedented degree of Black racial pride and unity during the 1960's civil rights movement now become living contradictions of their former selves? The common response, when presented with this daunting question is to take the position that the core problem lies with something to do with Black people themselves. Although tragically many Blacks themselves have also come to accept this viewpoint, the emerging evidence does not support this premise. Such assertions are racist and totally not consistent with the history of African Americans.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">While perhaps difficult to believe today, Black unity (Umoja) was historically, the cornerstone of the African American community and a crucial factor in their survival for more than four-hundred years of White racial oppression. Black unity was the most significant factor in the success of the 1960's civil right movement. The remarkable degree of unity among African Americans then was made evident by the brilliant organization and mobilizations of mass bus boycotts, marches, freedom riders, and sit ins that were peacefully conducted through the unified protest of civil disobedience. The degree of unity and organization demonstrated among African Americans then was extraordinary and arguably remains unrivaled by any other group in the history of America. So what then is the reason for the unprecedented racial self contempt and disunity among many African Americans today?</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">The present unprecedented feelings of racial self contempt among so many African Americans are neither a baffling phenomenon, nor the result of some innate racial deficiency. It is instead the result of a deliberate governmentally deployed mass manipulating social engineering program. White America’s methods of institutionalized racism has been secretly modified into a more sophisticated and stealthy design. Today to control and produce conformity among the masses, the U.S. government commonly disseminates propaganda domestically among its own citizens. To domestically defend its position of white dominance that was lessened by civil rights gains made by the civil rights strategies and efforts of African Americans, the U.S. Government secretly deployed these same mass propaganda programs against its entire Black population. Through the usage of psychological manipulation programs Black people in the United States are seeing themselves through lenses that have been secretly and deliberately assigned to them by white mass manipulation experts.</span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;" xml:lang="en">This psychological manipulation program uses negative propaganda to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective perceptions of America’s Black population.</span> <span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Through totally white controlled outlets it</span> <span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">conditions African Americans to admire whites and despise themselves by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves.</span></font></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">The <em><span style="font-style:normal;font-family:Arial;">mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes of its recipients.</span></em> Most African Americans that frustratingly and shamefully complain about the national disparities among their group are, for the most part, responding to negative statistics and depictions given about their race totally comprised by white controlled sources and media outlets. African Americans own negative personal interactions among their group merely then act as a confirmation of what is being implied through these white sources.</span></font></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">Because the previous blatant methods used in the past for ensuring that white dominance be maintained in the U.S. had become morally and socially unacceptable, the U.S. government secretly implemented this more sophisticated and stealthy system. For several decades covert agencies within the U.S. Government have secretly disseminated false deplorably racially devaluing statistics and propaganda about its Black population. It uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect African Americans in terms of their perceptions and behavior. Its constant deplorable depiction of African Americans is a very carefully and deliberately designed massive media manipulation program that subjects African Americans to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves. Its fraudulent information is designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of its African American population. The motto of this method of psychological manipulation is to divide and conquer and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. It is designed to corrupt African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group while insinuating that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites. Thus fostering a massive setting for where of which African Americans are more easily divided, exploited and ultimately suppressed. This present system uses the national media's proven ability to mass manipulate the perceptions of the public by the usage of propaganda. This process merges the often harsh individual realities of many black people with what is misleadingly deplorably depicted of them, therefore solidifying the thoughts within their psyche that it is they that are now their own worst enemies. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche also drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, and intelligence and that they need whites to govern over their lives. It totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy theory" that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true danger is this well proven method of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and psychological manipulation. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect targeted groups in terms of their perceptions and behavior. This massive manipulation program is being done to African Americans through an immense campaign of false derogatory media reports and statistics. These fraudulent data are created by U.S. governmental agencies and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the stories as their own. These false information about African Americans are then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports. However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages perpetuate and frame the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. The ultimate goal of this psychosocial treatment of African Americans is to destroy the Black unity and cohesion that was a crucial factor of the survival of African Americans through more than four hundred years of white racial oppression. Logic dictates that given that unity and cohesion among African Americans was responsible for the demise of White America’s past blatant system of institutionalized racism, then destroying this unity would be an essential objective of this psychological manipulation program. This modern method of deploying white racism is far more sophisticated and stealthier than those blatant methods used in the past. Moreover, it is directly attributed to the intensification of internalized self hatred, and profound disunity presently among many African Americans. All African Americans have experienced the burden of this applied psychological conditioning, some more severely than others have. To the detriment of many African Americans it has been extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to not only accept the white dominance over their lives but to also prefer it. It also engenders an aberration of internalized self contempt among many African Americans that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. This psychosocial program is in fact so fundamentally detrimental to the Black human condition and psyche that it may even affect the extent to which many African Americans realize their full human potential. No group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">This massive psychosocial program is at the root of both the profound division and self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and is at the heart of internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess. And while many African Americans have successfully navigated through this psychologically mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, for far too many this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to subconsciously accept the negative portrayals of themselves.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">IT IS ALSO GARNERS SOCIAL CONSENT FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF AFRICAN AMERICANS</font></span></b></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">Not only does this psycho-social program negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, but it also conveniently provides a more socially acceptable means of ensuring that the masses of African Americans remains the most racially devalued and most economically exploited group in America. Its deplorable depictions of African Americans are also used to engender national consent that justifies their mistreatment. Its deplorable depictions of Africans Americans are also designed to create a shift of victimization in behalf of whites while lessoning pressures for social changes in behalf of Blacks. Thus creating a consensual national setting that facilitates the easier exploitation and suppression of African Americans. This is in fact a common practice used throughout modern western history. When groups in power want to suppress or to exploit its minority group they do so by portraying that group as a fearsome enemy or a major problem of the society through lies and manufactured news items. This same type of propaganda technique was also used by Adolph Hitler to facilitate a national consensual setting that allowed his heinous mistreatment of the Jews. Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels portrayed them as a fearsome enemy of German society through lies and manufactured news items. These negative imageries were used to justify their annihilation. This tradition continues today in the case of African Americans. The U.S. media’s constant deplorable depictions of Black Americans is deliberately designed to produce prejudice distorted and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that makes the others insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism in the U.S. almost impossible today. This also creates false justifications for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s more often justified. When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified. This is what America’s renowned propaganda expert Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “socially engineered consent”. <br />The effects of this social program are also manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Some studies have shown that this social program has engendered increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably now stronger today than they were after emancipation. It was this psychological conditioning program that ended the Black revolutionary movement of the nineteen sixties and that stripped African Americans of the national and global support that was acquired during that era’s civil rights struggles.

Katrina is Yo Mama gone bad and you were not aware she would do this to you--and even now you are reluctant to claim her, so I will remind you. Yo Mama, Katrina, is Lady Liberty, whose statue stands with her torch of Freedom looming over Ellis Island; she's Mother Justice, whose statue stands blindfolded at the top of the courthouse stairs holding a terrible swift sword, the sword she should use to defend you and she holds the scales of judgement, for she stands in glorious sunlight and you go to her seeking justice and receive the tip of her sword instead, and she sticks it where the sun don't shine; she's the American Goddess, Columbia, whose image is stamped on movie studio frontispieces, on U.S. coins, and on U.S. savings bonds.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br />Yet she does not save. Katrina's victims were the colored, the aged, the children, and the poor--everybody America despises and abuses daily. As Lou Reed says in his song, "New York," in his laconic, Charles Bukowski voice, "Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor, I'll piss on 'em.

The word will come back: it tolls for me. And for you. But the message comes back to us garbled and distorted, through a media that does not pass on the message faithfully but wants to sell us things. Our corporate media is loath to tell us anything that's <i>actually happenin</i>g around us other than who wants to be a millionaire, and who the latest American idol is as we stumble with the stars and dance on our own graves. Our schools and our universities don't teach us how to read and write anymore or teach us how to do research that would alert us to the fact that the same corporations that are now moving in to take over the land in New Orleans and to take over the formerly public institutions in Louisiana in order to privatize and corporatize them, to seize the real estate that was evacuated by Katrina victims, are the corporations that lobbied our elected representatives in Washington to siphon our tax dollars away from strengthening levies in America so that shrink wrapped blocks of cash could be passed out off army transports in Baghdad and distributed to Haliburton, Blackwater, and Brown and Root contractors without any record of payoffs, and meanwhile the levies crumbled back home.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Those schools and those universities of ours are not teaching us anything other than how to 'dress for suck-sess, which in this post manufacturing and post union economy means a dead end service industry job with no benefits and no future. Instead of a future, what we have in store is cueing up for a long line to await our meager FEMA rations of bread, dirty water, and McDonalds french fries as the earth shakes, the skies rain down on us, and the suicide bombers here and there in line explode in plumes of dark greasy smoke, killing themselves, the person in front of them and the person one behind them without ever disturbing the line itself, because Americans cannot be dissuaded in exercising 'our freedoms' these are the freedoms we will cue up for: freedom of water, freedom of rations, and freedom of waiting for the next disaster to reduce our rations.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /> Katrina was for the ruling class an excuse to take off the gloves and let Nature takes its course--genocide by water and wind, and it'll happen again, and again, and again, and there is an earthquake/hurricane/flood/fire coming to your town, and you too, will find yourself standing on your roof waving a bedsheet at passing news-copters that don't lower you a rope, don't call for the national guared for you and don't give a shit about you as they film your terror, your thirst, your hunger and your death and your family's death for broadcast--details at 11.

Gee, what a coincidence), and then sold us on the block into three centuries of brutality, illiteracy, and chattel slavery--to kill us? No. to use us to build the infrastructure and the economy of two continents. These are the exact same people who built death camps for profit and transported millions of Jews by steel rails to those camps to be methodically put to death and have their skins stripped from their corpses before burning and the skins made into lampshades. Did they hate Jews? Probably not, not those in charge of the entire thing, because as Himmler was reported to have said, to 'hate' the Jews would be foolish, self indulgent; the message of 'hate' was for mass consumption, not to be believed. Nazi Top Guy Reinhard Heydrich, at the Wansee Conference in Berlin in 1942 where the "Final Solution" was hammered out (with Loki's hammer, no doubt) opined that the 'Jewish question' was one of logistics and technological efficiency, not of emotion. In other words, after the scapegoat was wiped out, the Nazi's would surely have not shut down all that nice, modern, efficient mass death machinery--they would have fed new victims into the ovens: anybody who resisted them, in other words; in other words, New Yorkers and Parisians, and Canadian Canucks.

The US military has demonstrated using perception management multiple times in modern warfare. It has continued to pursue actively a course of perception management about the Iraq War.

They function as a <span class="yshortcuts">media manipulation</span> psychosocial propaganda program. It is deployed through massive propaganda campaigns that devalue African Americans. The “Mainstreaming” of negative images of Black people within the United States has been an on-going phenomenon for the past 40 years. The concept of mainstreaming is important to U.S. Government, because it creates conditioned responses in a population for eventualities to unfold without opposition or resentment:</span></font></font></p><p style="line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Nightly newscasts reinforce seemingly pre-conditioned response of resentment and prejudicial images of Black people in the majority population, thereby creating a false impression of wanton Black criminality and violence.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:#FFFFFF;margin:9pt 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">This method provides a more contemporary and stealthy design that provides a more socially acceptable means of controlling and suppressing the Black population. <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">Its features include the ability to both influence the national climate and engender</span> personal psychological feelings among <span class="yshortcuts">African Americans</span> that ensures the continuance of white dominance. This psychosocial program adversely manipulates and shapes the minds and collective perceptions of African Americans by subjecting them to seeing propaganda depicting only the fraudulent worst in themselves. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">is</span> designed <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">to break down</span> African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">mold the character of self-hatred,</span> and engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and division among their group <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">that</span> weakens their ranks.

The objective of the <span class="yshortcuts">United States</span> <span class="yshortcuts">government</span> has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly mass psychological manipulation meets this need--because it covertly creates a national climate that allows the government to suppress consensually the advancement of its <span class="yshortcuts">African American population</span> and to maintain its White dominance. Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the <span class="yshortcuts">White race</span>’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply engrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its <span class="yshortcuts">African American population</span>. Clearly, the method of <span class="yshortcuts">psychological warfare</span> provides the United States Governmental elites with a method for meeting this need but doing so with the added benefit of not appearing racist. It was perfectly suited for the changing times. Unlike the extremely cruel and public racism used in the past, which <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">Blacks were able to easily identify and thus unify to form counter strategies against, racism through psychological warfare is much harder to detect.</span> Armed with this method, the U.S. government could maintain dominance and control with less social fallout because racism is not as easily recognized.</font></font></span></p><p><span lang="en" xml:lang="en"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><font face="Times New Roman">.</font></font></font></span></p><h3 style="margin:12pt 0in 3pt;"><font color="#000000"><span lang="en" style="font-weight:normal;font-size:12pt;" xml:lang="en">From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</span> </font></h3><p><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span lang="en" style="font-family:Arial;" xml:lang="en">Perception management</span> <span lang="en" style="font-family:Arial;" xml:lang="en">is a term originated by the US military.

<div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">The US government’s intelligence divisions have developed advances in the studies of behavioral psychology that have given them much more control over its population. It initially used these advancements to develop psychological warfare programs used to manipulate foreign populations, but it was eventually decided that this same method of psychological warfare could be used domestically as a tool to manipulate public opinion. <br />Today to control and produce uniformity among the masses, the U.S. government disseminates propaganda domestically among its own citizens. The main sources that it uses to spread its propaganda are the Press, the Cinema, Education and the Radio. These four sources abilities to manipulate and control the masses are over-whelming. The great majority of people derive their ideas and perceptions, from these sources. Most of the things that we believe we do so because we have heard them affirm through these sources; We do not remember how or why they were affirmed, and are therefore unable to be critical even when the affirmation was not backed by any evidence whatsoever. This situation gives those who control the media, the inherent ability to define, manipulate and control targeted groups as they see fit.</font></span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:14pt;color:#000000;line-height:150%;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';" xml:lang="en">This psychosocial program uses propaganda to adversely manipulate and shapes the minds and collective perceptions of America’s Black population by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves.</span> <span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><br /><font color="#000000">The U.S. Government has an extensive history of conducting planned campaigns of extensive strategic psychological operations through the national media to domestically direct the perceptions and climate of the nation towards its governmental objectives. Information given through the media can greatly influence every facet of our lives. When these propaganda programs are directed at particular targeted groups they can be effectively used as psychological manipulation tools.</font></span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:14pt;color:#000000;line-height:150%;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';" xml:lang="en">Through the noted media sources propaganda may be used to adversely manipulate and shapes the minds and collective perceptions of targeted groups. By inundating targeted groups with deliberately</span> <span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">misinformation about themselves these programs can produces, within the targeted group, the sort of character and beliefs that the controllers of the program wants them to believe. Upon their so formed personalities, docility will be imposed on the targeted group. Strategies against their oppressors will be discouraged in these groups of people, and insubordination will be psychologically purged out of them. This system can even make any serious criticism of the powers that be psychologically impossible. Even if all within the targeted groups are miserable, all will believe themselves at fault for their miseries, because these systems will be used to tell them that they are so.<br />To domestically defend its position of white dominance that was lessened by civil rights gains made by the unprecedented civil rights strategies of African Americans, the U.S. Government secretly employed this well proven mass manipulation programs against its entire Black population. <br />Although the U.S. Government publicly professes equality for all of its citizens, it secretly holds an unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance and control. Given that the nineteen sixties were a period of massive black rebellion that increasingly challenged its position of white dominance, this quite logically necessitated that the U.S. Government employ this same proven method of mass manipulation programs to domestically defend its position of white dominance against its Black population. <br />The present despairing state of Black America, as depicted through out America’s national media outlets, is neither a baffling phenomenon, nor the result of some innate racial deficiency among Blacks, but rather instead the result of a governmentally deplored mass manipulation program. <br />The United States media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports. They function as media manipulation/ psychosocial programs. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is deliberately designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds, and collective perceptions of African Americans. <br />From their established positions of power, prominent white governmental elites monopolizes all given information deliberately disseminating only those that implies their white superiority over its Black population. Its constant deplorable depiction of African Americans is being done to perpetuate and frames the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, intellectual and ethical superiority. This psychosocial program subjects African Americans to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves-- while implying that they admire, respect, and trust only Whites. It is designed to break down African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, mold the character of self-hatred, self-doubt, self-loath, and distrust among their group. This program conditions Black people to accept white dominance over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are now themselves their own worst enemies. Through totally white controlled media outlets African Americans are seeing themselves through lenses that have been deliberately assigned to them by white mass media manipulation experts. It is a covert and sophisticated method of control that ensures the continuance of America’s White racial hierarchy by manipulating and shaping the minds and collective perceptions of its Black population. This insidious, yet very sophisticated mass manipulation program works by using the science of psychology. It prevails by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is the message that it carries and the way that it adversely affects the targeted recipient group in terms of their behavior. To the detriment of many African Americans this applied psychological conditioning program has been extremely effective. It has engendered within the psyche of many African Americans profound feelings of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. It also totally detaches African Americans’ from their sense of power and reality. <br />And while many African Americans have successfully navigated through this psychologically mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, for far too many this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won. This in turn manifests negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms. In fact, this mortifying psychosocial program is so fundamentally detrimental to the Black human condition and psyche that it may even affect the extent to which many African Americans realize their full human potential. <br />All African Americans have experienced the burden of this system of applied psychological conditioning, some more severely than others have. This mass manipulation program is at the root of both the profound division and self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and is at the heart of internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">WHEN AND HOW THIS BLACK MATRIX WAS IMPLEMENTED</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><br /><font color="#000000">It is surmised that this massive manipulation program was implemented in 1968, in the face of widespread violence that ensued after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King’s brutal assassination amplified Black angry demonstrations and riots within the United States. Such incidents were reported in more than 100 cities across the nation immediately following the assassination. America’s racially motivated brutality toward African Americans appeared to have reached its boiling point, creating much unrest and discord; and it increasingly challenged the stability of America’s white statuesque. These factors led U.S. Government agents to quickly reform their techniques of institutionalized racism. <br />The noted problems resulted in President Lyndon B Johnson ordering the formation of the Kerner Commission. Its mission was to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem. The Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems. The Kerner report’s findings required that the U.S. Government abandon its open, blatant forms of racist systems used to defend its position of White dominance. This abandonment of outdated tactics necessitated an implementation of an improved method for ensuring the continuance of white dominance and control. Clearly its proven method of mass media psychological manipulation through media propaganda meets this need.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">This new covert method of maintaining white dominance was a logical progressive choice because it provides America’s white elites with a more socially acceptable means of ensuring the continuance of its White racial hierarchy. Unlike the blatantly brutal forms of racism used in the past, which Blacks were able to identify easily and therefore unify and form counter strategies, this modern system is more covertly deplored. <br />Not only does this psychosocial program manipulates the self perceptions of African Americans, it also creates a national climate that is insensitive to their plight —thus fostering a consensual national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily mistreated and suppressed.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">This psychosocial program meets this additional objective by changing the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. This deliberately done to create a shift of victimization—in favor of whites-- that makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to the plight of African Americans, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. <br />This program also produces false justifications for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans. Wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has become that it’s all now justified. <br />When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the most fiercest and effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated disproportionately incarcerated under the belief that it is justified.] It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. <br />The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, this mass media psychological manipulation campaign meets this need—because it covertly manipulates the self perceptions of African Americans and creates a national climate that allows the government to consensually suppress the advancement of its African American population-thus maintaining its White racial dominance and control.

The report found that 48 percent of African-American women have been exposed to the virus that causes genital herpes. The report gave many African Americans the all-too-familiar overwhelming feeling of fatigue in the face of yet another racially humiliating CDC report<span><b>.</b></span></font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:5pt 0in;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">African-Americans often seem to be under siege when it comes to the ongoing flood of negative statistics and higher rates of disparities of nearly everything. No doubt, disparities exist, but the case regarding African American is so severe that it has become a phenomenon. For this reason alone it's more than reasonable to take a closer look at these ongoing negative statistics and find out what is really going on.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:5pt 0in;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Is it plausible to conceive that these negative reports are in fact societal psychosocial programs that are deliberately intended to imply white superiority over Blacks-as a means of ensuring the continuance of white dominance in the U.S.?</font></font></span></p><p style="line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Today’s method of deploring white racism</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;">has sophisticatedly evolved far beyond the previous blatant, now morally unacceptable, methods used in the past.</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Although today most African Americans do not experience racism the way their parents experienced it, they do, however, still experience White racism. America's white elites practices of economically exploiting and suppressing its Black population was never truly abandoned; it was instead secretly modified into a more contemporary and stealthy design.</span> </font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.55in;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;">America</span><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;">’s white controlling societal elites have developed a more covert and socially acceptable method of ensuring that white dominance and control be continued even throughout and beyond the term of its first Black president. This is because al</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">though the U.S. government publicly professes equality for all of its citizens, it secretly holds an unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance and control. Therefore, if the U.S. government treated its minority groups in a manner which did not promote maintaining its White dominance and control; it would be diametrically opposed to itself. This scenario necessitates that the U.S. government secretly implement systems to domestically defend its position of White dominance against its minority groups. <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">This racist objective is now met through the dissemination of specified misinformation and propaganda that is designed to socially engineer the American society towards meeting this objective.</span></span></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">The national media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports.

Its negative portrayals of African Americans are deliberately designed to adversely manipulate and shape their minds and collective consciousness. It covertly controls and divides African Americans by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves-- while insinuating that they <span style="letter-spacing:-.35pt;">admire, respect, and trust only Whites.</span> Moreover, it totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. It drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, character, and intelligence. <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">It</span> conditions Black people to believe that they require whites to govern over their lives. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to break down African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group<span style="letter-spacing:-.35pt;">.</span>To the detriment of many African Americans, it has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept white dominance over their lives-- by misleading them to believe that they are themselves, their own worst enemies.

This modern</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">racist system provides the U.S. government with a more socially acceptable means of continuing its White racial dominance and control. Unlike the blatantly overt system of racism used in the past that resulted in African Americans unifying themselves against it, <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">this modern</span> stealthy designed system <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">is covertly deplored</span> therefore it is not as easily recognized or detected by many of its Black victims. It is so well disguised that although many of its Black victims may instinctively feel that there is something wrong, they are however unable to sufficiently conceptualize it so that they can unify and defend themselves against it. Even the very brightest of African Americans may have little, if any hope of extricating themselves from the detrimental effects of this psychosocial program. It is so subtle, pervasive, well-organized, complete, and proficient that most African Americans remain unaware and totally taken in by this method of emitting white racism. This psychosocial program is directly intertwined with the extensive challenges negatively impacting Black America today. <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">It</span> is at the root of both the profound feelings of self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">is also</span> responsible for the false sense of superiority that many whites now possess. <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">It was this psychosocial program that made the white race the litmus test and standard for all humanity despite their brutally racist and inhumane history to the contrary.</span></span></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><b><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;"><font color="#000000">A Consensual national setting for Black annihilation</font></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">This psychosocial program not only negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, it also socially engineers a consensual national setting for the mistreatment of its Black population. It does so by creating a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">engendering</span> increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">that are designed</span> <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">to</span> makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">plight--, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf,</span> less<span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">ens pressure for social change o</span>n their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed. <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">It also</span> <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment</span> of African Americans wherein they are <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely</span> than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified. When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is</span> justified. This method of control and suppression <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">is based upon</span> the propaganda techniques of <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">renowned</span> psychologist <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">and United States</span> mass <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">propaganda specialist Dr.</span> Edward Bernays. He referred to this as “socially engineered consent” to mistreat the targeted group.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">The effects</span> of this social program are also manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It ensures that the masses of African Americans remain the most racially devalued and most economical exploited and suppressed group in America. It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Unfortunately to the detriment of many African Americans this modern racist system has been very proficient. Some studies have shown that this social program has engendered increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Although all minority groups are being targeted by this psychosocial program, however African Americans are most particular targeted. The reason for this is because no group has presented a greater threat against the U.S. continued white dominance than African Americans. While all ethnic groups possess the ability to bring about real change within the United States, only African Americans have produced such change. During the 1960’s African Americans confronted white racism on every front through militant means, non violent civil disobedience strategies, and legal arguments within America’s highest courts. These strategies resulted in the enactment of many civil right laws that improved the lives of all minorities. African Americans unified strategies against white racism remains unraveled by any other ethnic group. These facts subsequently mean that African Americans represent the greatest threat against the U.S. government’s unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance. This quite logically necessitated that -to domestically defend its position of White dominance-- a system be secretly implemented particularly targeting the entire African American population. A system that will ensure that African Americans remain the largest, most racially devalued, most exploited and suppressed group in America-- even throughout and beyond the presidency of its first Black president.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;">The usage of information is rarely considered when discussing method of emitting white racism; however this progression was a logical choice because i</span><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">t</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">conveniently provides a more socially acceptable and covert means of maintaining white dominance. Furthermore, <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">information management is a powerful tool. It is the single most important thing that moves the world economy, influences political regimes, defines meaningful thoughts and constructs human behavior.</span></span></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.55in;line-height:150%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;">Although most</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">African Americans <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">are totally unaware of this modern system of white racism, however, it</span> has been extremely effective at conditioning millions of Blacks to not only accept white dominance over their lives, but to even prefer it. It is by far <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt;">the most detrimentally proficient racist system ever to confront Black people</span>. </span></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:5pt 0in;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">This is not a feeble attempt at blaming all of the negative statistics on white racism while ignoring true disparities within many Black communities. Nor is this an attempt to peddle victim-hood to absolve or shirk America’s Black population of their own personal responsibilities. This is a truth that must be recognized and addressed if Black people are to survive and be apart of the future. Recognizing this stealthy racist system is often very difficult for many of its Black victims. Because Black people have been so bombarded with so much deplorably negative images of themselves, it has therefore become easier for many to accept the negative lies about them, rather than believing that it’s a modern system of white racism. Therefore, recognizing this truth will require that many of its Black recipients overcome their psychologically engrained negative perceptions of themselves and favorable perceptions of whites. These perceptions have been deliberately unrelentingly indoctrinated upon the Black psyche through this very same manipulation process that this article exposes.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:5pt 0in;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /><font size="3"><font color="#000000">The Government practice of producing false news reports to influence the nation favorably towards its objective is not an uncommon practice. During the Bush administration alone as many as 20 government departments produced fake news which stations broadcast as though they had produced the segments themselves, according to The New York Times. The Bush Administration produced look-alike news propaganda clips and then persuaded television stations across the country to air them uncritically and, often, uncut.</font></font></span></p><p style="line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">The Bush administration went as far as to use video clips that were intentionally deceptive, and scripted introductory misleading lines for the news anchor to read out. It is a program known to its detractors as "covert propaganda".</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.55in;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">This deceptive practice continues even now. Although the United States has now elected its first African American president, its predominately white g</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">overnment officials and powerfully affluent white societal elites <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">—they that truly runs America and maintains their positions of power and prestige regardless of who is actually president--, will more than likely merely use this monumental election to restore America’s eroded global image and standing in the world, rather than to improve the lives of African Americans. This is because these white elites</span> are still resolute in their commitment towards maintaining their white dominance and control in the United States. <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Therefore this psychosocial program will not be discontinued because of the historic presidency of Barrack Obama.</span> </span></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:.1pt;">Research indicates that this program was originally contrived at London’s Tavistock Institute and that it is being implemented within many white ruled countries. However, in the United States it was implemented against African Americans in response to the uprising of the Black power and civil rights movements of the 1960’s.</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Unless the masses of Black people are made aware of this modern racist system and unify themselves against it, the white elites will continue to use it against us --even with one Black president.</span></font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The many problems now facing Black America will not be corrected by implementing outdated strategies of foot marches, speeches, or the commemoration of fallen Black martyrs.

<div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:#f6f6f6;margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#3f3f3f;line-height:150%;font-family:Impact;">HOW BLACK UNITY IS DELIBERATELY HINDERED TO MAINTAIN WHITE DOMINANCE</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">Many African Americans now holds the opinion that in the face of greater gained opportunities that many within their race became their own worst enemies. It is a perception that often engenders profound feelings of immense humiliation, racial self contempt, and disunity among many African Americans in the 21st-century. But are these depictions and self perception of African Americans correct?<br /> Scores of African Americans now share the belief that in the face of increased opportunities and an apparent lessening of racial discrimination that the unrivaled racial pride, unity and cohesion, and ambitious perseverance that were once so undeniably a part of early Black American identity merely all disintegrated- -when integration and other subsequent opportunities became available. Furthermore, that in the face of increased upward mobility, that many within their race merely then lowered their pants lines bellow their waists, started exploiting the welfare system, begin favorably using the term nigger to describe themselves, and then took the lead in committing most crimes in America. It is not uncommon to hear these negative sentiments about their own race now echoed by many African Americans themselves—they that consider themselves as being exceptions to the norm. But are these derogatory perceptions correct? And if so how have African Americans, the racial group that demonstrated an unprecedented degree of Black racial pride and unity during the 1960's civil rights movement and fought so diligently against America’s previous system of blatant institutional racism, now become living contradictions of their former selves?</span></font></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><br />When presented with this daunting question the common response is to take the easy and convenient position that the core problem lies totally with Blacks themselves. But is this analogy correct? Although tragically many Blacks themselves have come to accept this perspective, the emerging evidence does not support the view that the persistent disparities among African American are the result of any purportedly unequal, innate human capacities of the Black race. Such assertions are racist and totally inaccurate because the problems are contemporary ones that appeared only after integration and the abolishment of Jim Crow legalized racism and are not consistent with the history of African Americans. The premise that there exists an innate proclivity for divisiveness among African Americans is totally inaccurate and inconsistent with the history of African Americans. While perhaps difficult to believe today, Black unity (Umoja) was historically, the cornerstone of the African American community and a crucial factor in their survival for more than four-hundred years of White racial oppression. It has contributed to the survival of millions of African Americans not only during slavery, but also during the aftermath of brutal Jim-Crow era lynching and through the financially crippling years of the United States’ great depression era. Black unity was the most significant factor in the success of the 1960's civil right movement. The remarkable degree of unity among African Americans then was made evident by the brilliant organization and mobilizations of mass bus boycotts, marches, freedom riders, and sit ins that were peacefully conducted through the unified protest of civil disobedience. These methods engendered images that touched the hearts and consciences of the world. This gained national and global support to the cause of African Americans that eventually led to America abandoning its blatant and legalized forms of Jim Crow racist systems.—used for ensuring the continuance of its white dominance. The degree of unity and organization demonstrated among African Americans then was extraordinary and arguably remains unrivaled by any other group in the history of America. So what then is the reason for the unprecedented racial self contempt and disunity among African Americans today? The intent here is to concisely demonstrate that the problem is the result</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000">of a very carefully and deliberately designed media disseminated mass manipulating psychosocial program that subjects African Americans--through totally white controlled media outlets --to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves. It is being secretly done to America’s Black population as a means of</font> <span style="color:#000000;">assuring the continuance of America’s white dominance and control.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">Black people in the United States are seeing through lenses that have been deliberately assigned to them by white mass manipulation experts. <span style="color:#000000;">Most African Americans that frustratingly and shamefully complain about the national disparities among their group are, for the most part, responding to negative statistics and depictions about their race totally comprised and given to them by white controlled media outlets--their (blacks) own negative personal experiences and interactions with their fellow blacks then merely act as a confirmation of what is being deplorably depicted about them. This mass manipulation process merges the often harsh individual realities of many black people with what is misleadingly deplorably depicted of them, therefore solidifying the thoughts within their psyche that it is they that are now their own worst enemies. It is deliberate</span>ly designed covert media driven <span style="color:#000000;">massive psychosocial social program that</span> conditions Blacks to admire only whites and to hate themselves. It was secretly</font> <span style="color:#000000;">designed by white social engineering mass manipulation experts to engender self doubt and disunity among America’s Black population as a means of ensuring that white dominance is maintained in the United States.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:150%;"></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><font size="3">The decline of the blatant, overt racism used in the United States to ensure the continuance of its white dominance from the reconstruction period through the 1960's coincided with the introduction of a more proficient, sophisticated, and covert method of White racism better suited for the times. This modern covert system is directly attributed to the intensification of internalized self hatred, profound disunity, and present confused outlook now prevalent in Black America. White America’s methods of institutionalized racism has been secretly modified into a more sophisticated and stealthy design. Because the past, blatant methods of ensuring White dominance had become morally and socially unacceptable, the U.S. government secretly implemented a more sophisticated and stealthy system that uses misinformation as a tool for ensuring that white dominance is continued in the U.S. Although the formal covert Counterintelligence Program [COINTELPRO] deployed by the FBI directed against African Americans during the period of 1956-1971 was discontinued. However, in truth today there is a far more sophisticated and massive governmental scheme being implemented against the entire African American population as a means of ensuring that white dominance and control is maintained. This present system uses the national media's proven ability to mass manipulate and socially engineer by way of using propaganda techniques. <br />The U.S. Government now secretly deliberately disseminates false deplorably racially devaluing statistics and propaganda about its Black population that are deliberately designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of its African American population-- corrupting African Americans sense of unity, cohesion, and reason -- and facilitates a consensual national environment of where in which its Black population is more easily divided, exploited and ultimately suppressed. When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy theory" that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true dangers are the well proven methods of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and psychological manipulation. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological principles.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><font size="3">The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans</font></span> <span style="font-family:Arial;"><font color="#000000" size="3">are so inundated with is a very carefully and deliberately designed mass media social manipulation program that subjects African Americans to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves</font><span style="color:#000000;"><font size="3">. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, and intelligence and that they need whites to govern over their lives. It totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. Moreover, it corrupts African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group while insinuating that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites. <br />The motto of this method of psychological manipulation is to divide and conquer and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. It uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect the recipient group in terms of their behavior.</font></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#000000;"><font size="3">Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans. Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own ship even if their own ship was in fact better.</font></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#000000;"><font size="3">The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the mind through deception. It uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect the recipient group in terms of their behavior. Within a real life setting this mortifying psychosocial treatment is precisely what is being deliberately done to African Americans. Where of which they are constantly bombarded and inundated by deplorably negative imageries of themselves through a totally white controlled media outlets that intentionally subjected them to seeing only the fraudulently worst in themselves. This is done through an immense campaign of false derogatory misinformation and false negative media reports and statistics that are created by U.S. governmental agencies and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the stories as their own. These false information about African Americans are then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports. However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages perpetuate and frame the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. This falsehood detrimentally affects the Black population at large.</font></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#000000;"><font size="3">The ultimate goal of this governmental psychosocial treatment of African Americans is to destroy the Black unity and cohesion that was historically the cornerstone of civil rights gains and that was a crucial factor of the survival of African Americans through more than four hundred years of white racial oppression. Logic dictates that given that unity and cohesion among African Americans was responsible for the demise of White America’s past system of blatant, institutionalized racism, then destroying this unity would be an essential objective of this psychological manipulation program. All African Americans have experienced the burden of this system of applied psychological conditioning, some more severely than others have. It is experienced every time that an African American read a newspaper, watch the evening news, listen to a radio report, enter a classroom and read its racially biased textbooks.</font></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><font size="3">No group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact. To the detriment of many African Americans, this psychosocial program has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. <br />And while many African Americans have successfully navigated through this psychologically mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, for far too many this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won. This in turn manifests negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms. In fact, this governmental mortifying psychosocial treatment of African Americans may be the most aggravating, if not core, factor of the national phenomenon of self hatred; loss of unity, cohesion and racial pride; and fragile psyches of many African Americans today. It is in fact so fundamentally detrimental to the Black human condition and psyche that it may even affect the extent to which many African Americans realize their full human potential. This massive psychosocial program is at the root of both the profound division and self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and is at the heart of internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess. <br />This concept of the U.S government using psychological warfare through the national media as a weapon to influence and control its Black population is not at all ridiculous. The U.S. Government has an extensive history of using the national media to psychologically manipulate and influence public opinion. It is indeed a very common governmental practice. Moreover, through out western history cultures that create and maintain empires have done so by manipulating the people that they are trying to conquer. They go out of their way to make sure that the people that they’re attempting to conquer is perpetually misled and manipulated. Therefore the conquered group’s perception of reality is not their own. It is shrewdly imposed upon them without them even knowing it. It is time that more African Americans wake up to this reality and ongoing tradition. The psychological manipulation of African Americans has been so successfully accomplished that it is very difficult to reverse. You see, part of the conditioning is almost like Stockholm syndrome. The victimized group begins to love their enemy and to feel that the enemy is justified in its mistreatment of their race. The victims begin to feel that they deserve their endured mistreatment, and they will actually oppose anyone who suggests what is being disclosed here.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><font size="3"><b><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">IT</span></b> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><b>SOCIALLY ENGINEERED CONSENT OF BLACK MISTREATMENT</b></span></font></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><font size="3">Not only does this psycho-social program negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, but it also conveniently provides a more socially acceptable and covert means of ensuring that the masses of African Americans remains the most racially devalued and most economically exploited group in America. Its deplorable depictions of African Americans are also used to engender national consent that justifies their mistreatment. The media’s deplorably depicted imageries of Black America deliberately create a shift of victimization in behalf of whites while lessons pressures for social changes in behalf of Blacks. Thus creating a national consensual setting that facilitates the easier exploitation and suppression of African Americans. This is in fact a common practice used throughout modern western history. When groups in power want to suppress or to exploit its minority group they do so by portraying that group as a fearsome enemy or a major problem of the society through lies and manufactured news items. This same type of propaganda technique was also used by Adolph Hitler to facilitate a national consensual setting that allowed his heinous mistreatment of the Jews. Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels portrayed them as a fearsome enemy of German society through lies and manufactured news items. These negative imageries were used to justify their annihilation. This unspoken legacy of racism still continues today in the case of African Americans. The media’s constantly depicted deplorable imagery of Black Americans insinuates that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone by changing the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. This perception engenders increasingly prejudiced distorted and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed. It also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified. When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified. This is what America’s renowned propaganda expert Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “socially engineered consent”. <br />The effects of this social program are also manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Through the usage of mass psychological manipulation White America’s methods of institutionalized racism has been secretly modified into a more sophisticated and stealthy design. Unfortunately to the detriment of many African Americans this modern system of deploying white racism has been very proficient. Some studies have shown that this social program has engendered increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably now stronger today than they were after emancipation. It was this governmental psychological conditioning program that ended the Black revolutionary movement of the nineteen sixties and that stripped African Americans of the national and international support that was acquired during that era’s civil rights struggles.</font></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:150%;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><br /><font size="3">The notion that the U.S government has reincarnated its method of suppressing its Black population is patently very plausible and historically accurate. Because the practices of reinventing methods of suppressing sub-groups is not at all uncommon. The records of history show that the reincarnating of suppressive methods into forms more acceptable to the changing times is a common practice. In examining the record of history, we often find that, among those mighty empires which were ruthless, greedy, and racist, those behaviors did not decay quickly even after the fall of the empire. These patterns of racism were often reincarnated into forms more acceptable to the changing times. History acknowledges that this has been a common practice of the United States government. As seen after the abolishment of slavery wherein its methods of using racist, oppressive treatment of its Black population was reincarnated into Jim Crow inequalities maintained by regional authorities and condoned by the U.S. Government. A Governmental condoning that facilitated a national environment of where in which African Americans were brutally mistreated, lynched and made victims of many devious strategies and methods that prevented them from becoming registered voters. And let us not forget the horrific Tuskegee experiments or of the CIA’s involvement in flooding the Black communities of Los Angeles with drugs and high powered weaponry. A quick review of history easily affirms the reality that white America does have a tradition of resistant against the advancement of its Black population. It also reminds us that the White race’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply ingrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population. The contention that the U.S government is using a mass manipulation program to influence and control its Black population is totally consistent with White America’s past tradition of resistant against Black advancement. What is more, it was the next logical choice because this method covertly provides the U.S. government a stealthier, socially acceptable method of meeting this objective.

I teach part time at Wayne County Community College in Detroit, and sitting last week in my little cubical at the college, the downtown campus, in the faculty office, tapping away at my computer, I overheard two Social Work professors discussing the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas in May. Now, Wayne County Community College is a predominantly Black, Jr. college with a Black, Latino, Arabic, and African emigre student population and faculty. The two fellow faculty members were both Black. One of them said, "It was an assassination, is what it was." The other professor said, "Well, I hear that he got what he deserved, you know, because they say he was a baby killer--he killed thousands of babies." "Yes, I guess that's true," the first professor responded.<img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510362,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="500" height="384" style="float:left;" />A Social Work (of all things!) professor exclaiming "I hear" and citing the fact that "They say"? Who they hell is "They," my fevered little Marxist brain hummed in my ear. <i>What the-??</i>My heart leaped right up into my throat; I got a sharp, sharp pain in my chest. I wanted to stand up and cry out, exhorting them both to stop saying reactionary crap like this-- mindless blurb-talk taken <i>directly</i> from FOX NEWS sound bytes. But I did not. I sat there, my blood running cold, and realizing that one reason I must constantly gird myself for intellectual battle when I walk into a Wayne County Community College classroom and argue against a vocal minority of Black and Latin and Arab young people's unimaginably reactionary, medieval, and downright insane mythological beliefs and their blurb-talk mimicking the talking points of the republican party, fascism, patriarchy, and reductionism, is because some of the faculty too, share these lazy habits of thought and share the same anti-intellectual, racist, sexist, and simply put, Christo-fascist <i>volks</i> beliefs espoused by our students.It ain't just students who sit in flickering darkness watching the Black Calvinism of African American TV evangelists preaching a degenerate capitalist distortion of Joshua's (Jesus') message. These dogged materialists have jettisoned Joshua's gospel of love and peace in favor of a completely philistine ministry of wealth, consumption, and 'B*L*I*N*G that has nothing to do with The Nazarene's life example. Juanita Bynum (whose 4.5 million dollar multi-structure estate was put on auction after her 2007 bankruptcy), T.D. Jakes (whose TDJ Enterprises is in <i>no</i> danger of bankruptcy with millions in assets, and whose reported 30,000 member congregation in his Dallas "Potter's House" evangelist community are very familiar with his bragging about his 'stable of luxury cars' and with his<img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510345,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="300" height="383" style="float:right;" /> so-called 'prosperity theology' that teaches God gives material gifts to the faithful), Creflo Dollar (whose ministry preaches that God wants his people to be financially prosperous and who has<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510405,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="379" height="370" /></p>targeted Battle Creek Michigan for a future home base to a planned 500 church world wide denomination), and a long list of other Black money grubbers like them, enjoyed a heyday during the Bush years. Because Bush and the Republicans shrewdly siphoned public dollars away from social services and public works and redirected those dollars toward so-called 'faith based initiatives', these jack-leg preachers got squarely on the dole and queued up for Washington tax exemptions, local Republican party gifts of building permits and easy zoning exemptions, and for pump- priming from the federal budget to launch their feverish wave of 'entrprenurial spiritualism'. The result: many of these mega church pastors and TV thumpers became shills for the Republican Party, launching dogmatic, racist, sexist, homophobic, and reactionary radio shows across the country that did and still do function to pour<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510382,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="351" height="473" /></p>vitriolic Black conservatism into the ears of urban Black audiences. The tragic fallout is evident now: the Black professional class has a hard-cast, recalcitrant minority who espouse bare-faced Republicanism by advocating draconian police state policies, punitive sentencing guidlines, and classically conservative socially reactionary laws, public policy, all in the name of 'morality'.I sat there in my cubical realizing that it isn't just young people and college students who wander every Sunday into those cavernous, new-age post modern Venturi-style steel and glass 'mega churches' that dot the urban devastation of the Detroit cityscape to listen to reactionary chicken fried, socially backward PTL Club yackityack-points. The neo-afro-primitivist, T.D. Jakes and his ilk have been busy on both sides of the street.I sat there in my cubical, and in my heartsickness resolved that I would not run like a crazy man through the hallways shouting, "Wake up! Soylent Green is people!" but will simply, and rationally, continue fighting anti intellectualism and Christo-fascism in the classroom when I teach, and will also devout more of my own writing and journalism to the fight, in order to reach a general population from which, presumably, my fellow faculty are drawn (though I sometimes seriously consider the possibility that one or two have been drawn from some pickle jar of the mind in Birmingham, Alabama somewhere. No, really. Seriously. I wonder sometimes).In the classroom at least, I routinely must re-argue the theories of people such as Freud (some young people no longer accept that the human mind features anything like an 'unconscious'), Marx (some young people reject the idea of egalitarian socialism and assert that competition and the profit motive is the only 'successful' and 'efficient' way to order human societies), Einstein (some young people reject outright the concept of relativism for, as some of them assert in the classroom in response to literature, there is a God-ordained <i>absolute right and wrong</i>, as well as one God-ordained, epistemologically <i>correct</i> point of view that trumps all other cultures, religions, modes of thinking, epochs, and all other points of view), and Darwin (the universe is 'intelligently designed,' and humans did not 'come from monkeys' those particular students smugly assure me).These names my students so blithely and largely ignorantly toss into the roach clip ash tray of history are, it so happens, the towering minds that gave us modern thought and thereby freed us from the European version of the dark ages (Huh? All you afrocentrists and asiatic triumphalists shut up and sit back down, because you are whack in the sack if you think pre-colonialist Africa and Asia did <i>not</i> experience their own dark ages: Sundiata, Mansa Musa, Sidartha, Hapshepsut, Hypatia of Alexandria, and Confucius, for example, were all ancients who to greater or lesser degree fought darkness and ignorance and spread enlightenment in Africa and Asia) .This struggle that many university professors are waging right now in this country to defend modernity in the classroom (and yes, I have to do the same thing at Wayne State, where I teach on the faculty of Africana Studies and where students, Black and White, object to the idea that studying Caribbean history and culture should be about something more serious than reading tourist brochures and talking about steel drum music!) is an ongoing struggle to shore up a backlash against modernism, and that much is bad enough in itself. 'But-but-but-wait, it get's worse', as the rap group ONYX used to chant: I find I must even defend Copernicus, Newton, and hell, that heathen Socrates too, all of them none too acceptable to some students inasmuch as these thinkers all claimed the world and the cosmos are a machine, the parts of which can be taken apart and the workings understood (the universe is whatever you believe it is, Professor Waller," one young Black woman in my Logic course assured me, her eyelids characteristically at half mast).As for Dr. Tiller, FOX's drumbeat reporting leading up to the day of his murder in the anteroom of his church in Kansas claimed that Tiller was a 'baby killer,' and this horrific offense against the principles of journalism was not just a propagandistic distortion of the truth, but even crossed over into bald-faced unreality: FOX NEWS commentators claimed, over and over, <img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510460,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="242" height="300" style="float:left;" /> that Tiller had 'killed thousands of babies," which was not only reactionary on its face, but indeed actually unashamedly fascist in that it was demonstrably a factual <i>lie</i>: days after his cold blooded murder MSNBC did a logical and mathematical calculation of the average number of therapeutic abortions Dr. Tiller performed per month multiplied by the exact number of years that he functioned as a care provider of therapeutic abortions for women, and proved that it was mathematically impossible for him to have performed 'thousands' of these procedures.Never mind the fact that he performed late term <i>therapeutic</i> abortions, not late term abortion on demand, and not contraceptive abortions (for you all in the back near the exit sign, that means he performed abortions for women in extreme psychological and physical distress who would not, and even could not safely, bring to term and deliver fetuses that were implanted in their wombs by rapists and incestuous family members, or that would have gestated into deformed babies without brains, without spines, hearts, lungs, etc., or with evolutionary throwback traits <img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510424,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="374" height="520" style="float:right;" />such as reptilian anatomical features, with no ability to live outside the womb, etc.). Never mind that even when discussing legal, first trimester abortion, a <i>fetus</i> is <i>not</i> a 'baby'. Never mind the fact that because late term abortion is generally not legal in most states and is never a procedure doctors take pleasure in having to perform even to protect the life of the mother, and therefore Tiller was one of the few and dwindling number of doctors in the country who decided to make himself available to women who medically and psychologically require late term abortions. Never mind the fact that one reason the number of care givers for women needing late term therapeutic abortion is dwindling is because crazed, Christo-fascist nuts keep assassinating them (often they kill these doctors in their homes, in front of their family members, or in public places surrounded by friends and acquaintances, as was the case with Dr. Tiller).Never mind all that. What we ought to find most repugnant about the whole thing is the very reason I posted the above <i>Wehrmacht</i> poster ala Condoleezza: some Black people, apparently drunk on T.D. Jakes juice, argue totally irrational things, such as "abortion is genocide against Black people by definition because the US government has practiced forced sterilizations of Blacks." Another mundane logical fallacy is that the medical procedure of abortion <i>itself</i>, is genocidal despite the fact that it is, objectively, like heart surgery, a medical procedure that is a right of women who wish to make decisions about their own bodies, regardless of the religious beliefs, dogmas, and delusions of other people, specifically men, whose bodies are unconnected to the bodies of women who make a decision to abort a fetus.To see the fallacy more clearly, imagine this analogy: the fact that chains were used to bind African slaves does not justify arguing against hardware stores selling chains. The fact that chains bound slaves does not justify arguing that chains should not be used to secure a fallen log to a crane so that the log can be lifted off of the automobile of a woman whose car has been crushed by the log, thus saving that woman's life.History is also predictive.Naomi Wolf, author of "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot," gave a lecture at the University of Washington-Seattle in 2007 in which she admitted that before she did a great deal of historical research and reading about fascism, reading which led to her book, "The End of America," she would disregarded the warnings of a friend's mother as she would sit talking with that woman, an elderly holocaust survivor. Wolf would think the woman was 'nutty' because she'd look at and be alarmed by trends, events, issues, government policies, and entertainment industries in America, and would keep repeating over and over, "They did that Germany," and "The Nazis did the same thing in Germany," and "That happened in Germany." One day, Wolf says however, the old woman was fed up with Wolf's callow ignorance, and: "Finally, she sat me down, she gave me a stack of books, and almost physically said, you know, Read!""And I started reading," Wolf said, "And honestly, my hair stood on end, because I saw that she was right, and she was not being rhetorical at all, because not only were there tactical echoes from the <img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510400,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="500" height="949" style="float:right;" />past, but I was seeing actual scenes recurring, imagery recurring, language, sound bytes recurring in modern events America. I saw that she was right!""And she wasn't talking about the later years--National Socialist outcomes, but she was talking about the <i>early</i> years, 1930-1932, when Germany was a modern, parliamentary democracy...it would have been recognizable to us...Germany had pop stars, and Bauhaus architecture, and Paris fashion, and sex education, civil rights organizations and gay rights organizations, gossip columnists...she was talking about the legal pressures on a democracy by people who were intent on closing down that democracy."Wolf saw that America is paralleling the early development of Nazi Germany, and that we can all see equivalents among us and around us that alert us to the ultimate meaning of religious conservatism, of the destruction of education, of the destruction of journalism and of newspapers, of public and widespread illiteracy and cultural dumbness and intellectual laziness as well as anti-intellectualism and something we see quite a bit of right now, among our friends, among our family members, and among our students, our co-workers, our colleagues: belligerent, obnoxious, hyper nationalism along with an apologia for cruelty, violence (both state sponsored violence and also rhetorical violence and dehumanization perpetrated by even the victims of oppression who raise up the principle of violence and anti-thought in ironic imitation of their own oppressor).Ergo, the neo Black nationalists who have no idea who Malcolm X really was and what he really said, and who disregard the true message of the Black Panther party in favor of gratuitous denunciation, ad hominem, and invective (i.e., the so-called "New Black Panther Party") and callow youths on YouTube who buffoonishly call for 'armed struggle' against a nuclear power rather than calling for a paradigm shift away from the very patriarchy, poisonous hyper masculinity, and erotisization of violence that is the cause of our oppression in the first place. This critique I make includes the <i>anti</i>-nationalists such as those who are oppressed who freely join the project of state sponsored violence against revolutionaries (whom they reductively label 'terrorists') to support their own oppressor in oppressing the rest of the world.Ergo, Condoleezza Rice--may woe be upon her.Consider history:Historiography has it that the <i>Sudetendeutsche</i>, the ethnic Germans who lived in a region of Bohemia/Czechoslovakia, were denizens of an ethnically indefinite region that came to be known as <i>Sudetenland</i> (named after the Sudeten mountains) before Hitler invaded the region. Despite Hitler's widely known contempt for Slavs and Czechs alike (he saw them as genetically inferior sub humans destined for extermination in his new world order), some of the Czechs in this region who had begun to feel a sense of German nationalism, though they were not truly German, were actually welcoming toward the Nazi invaders, for, they seemed to be confused about who they were to the point that they cheered the invasion of sudetenland by Hitler's storm troopers. In Leni Reifenstahl's nazi propaganda film about the 1930 Nazi Party Conference in Nuremberg, <i>Triumph des Willens</i> ("Triumph of the Will), some of the Nazi standard bearers who march by the camera are carrying banners proclaiming, "Sudetenland", and are showing their fierce pride that Hitler trusts them to take charge on the front lines.Go figure.<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510521,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="390" height="300" /></p></div>

<div><i>No</i> country that commits the sort of truly evil war crimes America has committed recently can possibly rest easy with itself, and no people like the American people can even slightly escape the implications and the weight of our nation's most evil crimes. That is why we are jumpy lately, why there is an edge to our interpersonal relationships that wasn't there ten years ago, and why there is a tone of subdued hysteria in our mass media. That is why "reality" shows (Freud would have a field day with the implications of that reversal of truth--more like "DENY reality shows') and stupid game shows and 'Court TV' inanities are so popular now, along with the soul theft of our children through violent and racist Xbox crap on their computers and TV's. I say tis as an African American whose people have suffered the Middle Passage, lynching, and Jim Crow at the hands of America. Those crimes, however horrific, were at least understandable in the context of their cause: greed, and the insane profit motive of capitalism. The most recent crimes, which in fact African Americans who lack consciousness are temselves implicated in, are in a way far more evil, since nearly everyone inside America is partly or wholly guilty for them.<br /><br />We are in mourning.<br /><br />The mourning we are suffering as a nation is not lessened because we are in denial about it. The urge to cry you sometimes feel, that irrational surge of panic and fear after dark, that unreasonable anger at the driver in the lane beside you that you sometimes feel welling up from your stomach into your mouth almost causing you to strike out at those whose fault your feelings are not, it all comes from that place where our crimes (America's crimes, Condi Rice's crimes, and Colin Powell's crimes) sit and fester and await the light of day to expose out evil to ourselves and to the world. None of us will escape whipping, as Hamlet might say.<br /><br />The horrific death of Mr. Dilawar (if you don't know yet who Moazzam Begg is (whose kidnapping and torture inspired the film, "Rendition") and particularly who Mr. Dilawar is (who inspired, and the details of whose murder are featured in "Taxi to the Dark Side") check the NYT article pasted below, or go to Google and find out for yourself. Warning: it ain't pretty), captured to its last ugly point by the brilliant documentary, "Taxi to the Dark Side", hangs heavily over all of us. All the more so because once again, we as Black people must face the bitter truth that Black 'leaders' never were going to deliver us from evil, and never will. Obama is continuing the Bush policies abroad (he will rename torture, but will he truly eliminate it? And even if he eliminates it, will he end the wars? Good questions. Why aren't we <i>demanding</i> he answer them rather than acting as if we have been delivered to the promised land by the election of a Black <s>dictator</s> president?)<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/WFWkhPh0Brw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WFWkhPh0Brw&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" height="344" width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WFWkhPh0Brw&hl=en&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allownetworking="internal"></embed><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param></object> <br />As was the case with Nazi Germany, a regime nearly as bloody and evil as the current Mac-American torture regime is, in which the German people lost their souls because they did not resist fascism before it grew so strong that no one could resist, only die as martyrs, and then let their souls drift far from any hope of redemption by later DENYING what they and their government had done, Americans too, have <i>already</i> lost our souls by allowing the government we elected, to kill Mr. Dilawar. We further are now drifting away from all hope of redemption by denying what we did, and denying him.<object height="344" width="425" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/WX0MPcN08Zc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WX0MPcN08Zc&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" height="344" width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WX0MPcN08Zc&hl=en&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allownetworking="internal"></embed><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param></object> <br />Every American, all of us, no matter what color, what race, what religion, or what creed, bear the guilt of Mr. Dilawar's death, for, by international law, and the laws of God and Man, <i>a nation of people are always responsible for whatever their government does--all the more so if their government is democratic</i>. Only the children are ever deemed innocent in the situation we now live within daily.

Capitalism is not, nor should it be OUR promised land--cars, and ties, and BBQ gas grills, and swimming pools, and flat screen TV's, and all the trappings of our so-called 'overcoming'; things, merely objects, paid for by the blood of victims all over the planet. NO, I am not saying don't buy things--that would be too easy a path to redemption. I am saying don't buy IDEAS; don't consume lies, myths, and criminals with dark faces like yours, and most of all, pay attention to those video games your children have internally migrated into.<object height="344" width="425" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/peCpI9E0XAs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/peCpI9E0XAs&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" height="344" width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/peCpI9E0XAs&hl=en&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allownetworking="internal"></embed><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param></object> <br />We do have an obligation, a historical obligation, to lead the way toward global liberation because we, more than any other race, have suffered the worst crimes of modernity. Our oppression is not an excuse to say we are powerless and therefore guiltless, to say we are in it but nor of it. No, quite the contrary: our oppression burdens us with the obligation to teach the world to love, to grow peaceful. to seek justice. Who will teach the world this if not us? African Americans occupy a profound and unprecedented position of proximity to power. No other group on this planet has the potential we do to change this planet, even if only by our position which allows us to feed ground glass to the master. We are, after all, in his kitchen.<br /><br />Who else can speak out if we don't?<br /><br />But that moral high ground we occupy can only be held if we struggle, and if we commit ourselves to knowing and also telling, the truth about <i>all</i> the victims. Even the Arab and Muslim ones.<br /><br /><i>A-Salaamu Alaikum</i><br /><br /><br /><b>In U.S. Report, Brutal Details of 2 Afghan Inmates' Deaths</b><br /><br /><b><br />By TIM GOLDEN --NY Times<br />Published in NYT: May 20, 2005</b><br /><br />Even as the young Afghan man was dying before them, his American jailers continued to torment him.<br /><br />The prisoner, a slight, 22-year-old taxi driver known only as Dilawar, was hauled from his cell at the detention center in Bagram, Afghanistan, at around 2 a.m. to answer questions about a rocket attack on an American base. When he arrived in the interrogation room, an interpreter who was present said, his legs were bouncing uncontrollably in the plastic chair and his hands were numb. He had been chained by the wrists to the top of his cell for much of the previous four days.<br /><br /><br />Dilawar was an Afghan farmer and taxi driver who died while in custody of American troops.<br /><br /><img style="float:left;" height="267" width="184" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828509848,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3828509848?profile=original" /><b>Mr. Dilawar</b><br /><br />Mr. Dilawar asked for a drink of water, and one of the two interrogators, Specialist Joshua R. Claus, 21, picked up a large plastic bottle. But first he punched a hole in the bottom, the interpreter said, so as the prisoner fumbled weakly with the cap, the water poured out over his orange prison scrubs. The soldier then grabbed the bottle back and began squirting the water forcefully into Mr. Dilawar's face.<br /><br />"Come on, drink!" the interpreter said Specialist Claus had shouted, as the prisoner gagged on the spray. "Drink!"<br /><br />At the interrogators' behest, a guard tried to force the young man to his knees. But his legs, which had been pummeled by guards for several days, could no longer bend. An interrogator told Mr. Dilawar that he could see a doctor after they finished with him. When he was finally sent back to his cell, though, the guards were instructed only to chain the prisoner back to the ceiling.<br /><img style="float:left;" height="253" width="184" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828510016,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3828510016?profile=original" /><br /><b>A sketch by Thomas V. Curtis, a Reserve M.P. sergeant, showing how Dilawar was chained to the ceiling of his cell.</b><br /><br />"Leave him up," one of the guards quoted Specialist Claus as saying.<br /><br />Several hours passed before an emergency room doctor finally saw Mr. Dilawar. By then he was dead, his body beginning to stiffen. It would be many months before Army investigators learned a final horrific detail: Most of the interrogators had believed Mr. Dilawar was an innocent man who simply drove his taxi past the American base at the wrong time.<br /><br />The story of Mr. Dilawar's brutal death at the Bagram Collection Point - and that of another detainee, Habibullah, who died there six days earlier in December 2002 - emerge from a nearly 2,000-page confidential file of the Army's criminal investigation into the case, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times.<br /><br />Like a narrative counterpart to the digital images from Abu Ghraib, the Bagram file depicts young, poorly trained soldiers in repeated incidents of abuse. The harsh treatment, which has resulted in criminal charges against seven soldiers, went well beyond the two deaths.<br /><br />In some instances, testimony shows, it was directed or carried out by interrogators to extract information. In others, it was punishment meted out by military police guards. Sometimes, the torment seems to have been driven by little more than boredom or cruelty, or both.<br /><br />In sworn statements to Army investigators, soldiers describe one female interrogator with a taste for humiliation stepping on the neck of one prostrate detainee and kicking another in the genitals. They tell of a shackled prisoner being forced to roll back and forth on the floor of a cell, kissing the boots of his two interrogators as he went. Yet another prisoner is made to pick plastic bottle caps out of a drum mixed with excrement and water as part of a strategy to soften him up for questioning.<br /><br />The Times obtained a copy of the file from a person involved in the investigation who was critical of the methods used at Bagram and the military's response to the deaths.<br /><br />Although incidents of prisoner abuse at Bagram in 2002, including some details of the two men's deaths, have been previously reported, American officials have characterized them as isolated problems that were thoroughly investigated. And many of the officers and soldiers interviewed in the Dilawar investigation said the large majority of detainees at Bagram were compliant and reasonably well treated.<br /><br />"What we have learned through the course of all these investigations is that there were people who clearly violated anyone's standard for humane treatment," said the Pentagon's chief spokesman, Larry Di Rita. "We're finding some cases that were not close calls."<br /><img style="float:left;" height="240" width="184" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828509963,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3828509963?profile=original" /><br /><b>Mr. Dilawar's Daughter</b></div>

<div>Reparations 101:The Context CardBy Minister Ari S. Merretazon, M.S.CED, Board Member, Northeast Representative,National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N’COBRA)Too many people in high, middle, and low places in America are still in denial about the crimes against humanity represented by the monstrous destruction of human life, culture, and human possibilities called The Holocaust of African Enslavement and Trade.This human tragedy covers a continuum from 1440 to the present.Often, when justice and repair is sought for such crimes, it is tagged by many “Europeanized” and “Americanized” Africans as “playing the race card” or the“victim card.” <u><i><b>To counter this rebuff, the “context card” must be used.</b></i></u> The “context card” is America’s violent God complex and history of enslavement based on race.As an expected outcome of this teaching moment, it is my objective to transfer within this short commentary,enough defining information wherein we as Americanized Africans will use the context card as the predicate for the re-constructing of our thinking and behavior so that we might continue the struggle for economic justice, repair and sovereignty as all humans do.The “context card” outlines and describes the defining elements of the economic legacy of Americanized Africans. In essence, my point is public policy and terror in America is still based on race, and, therefore, it must be challenged and re-constructed based on race, in the context of enslavement, and not the condescending notions of an inherent curse of God, and permanent social, economic, political pathologies, or civil rights.I am simply using the word “context” as defined by Webster’s New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition meaning., the whole situation, background, or environment relevant to a particular event; circumstances in which an event occurred or occurs; a setting.”There is no card in the human capital development deck that can beat the context card because it is the core element of our moral universe. Like “deuces are wild” the context card out ranks all cards in the human capital development deck. Also, the context card is a key resource to be used at an opportune time to contend with and beat back assaults on our capacity as a people.The comparatively small degree of economic development of Americanized Africans is often wrongly and purposefully regarded as high achievement and success. This is a delusion created, controlled, and filtered by the "matrx"convergence strategies of the descendents of the “founding fathers” and the “power elite” of America, for example, chattel property, integration, Christian religion, civil rights, diversity, wealth-building, and, the first blackperson, place or thing, to do this or that.Please know and understand that, with no disrespect or disregard to origin, African-Americans are not to be compared with the contemporary surge of our African brothers and sisters into America. Here is an example of playing the context card--distinguishing African-Americans--from any of the Neo- African immigrant groups.The context card in not an excuse, it is posited as the cause and the reason for our status in America. It <i>contextualizes</i> our experiences from any and all immigrant groups in America.To trump the “ matrix-race card” and the “matrix-victim card,” I will not occupy the reader with the well established supporting economic and historical data, but play the “context card” so we may, as Brother Yumy Odom, Chairman, The Frator Heru Institute, often say, “start a revolution where it truly counts: in the mind!"The vertical social system of human destruction, enslavement and trade, the beginning of “capitalism,” is the causality of the under-developed Black economy in America. Left unchanged it is our legacy. The take away from this lesson is: <b>Push-back with the context card!</b></div>
