<div><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><u>BE YE THANKFUL</u></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> I find it highly interesting that Halloween and Christmas are soooo close together—that is, IF you believe the retailers. After all, Christmas represents a full 25% of retail sales. Halloween—for the entire month of October and back into September (in some places) has become the second most ‘party’ holiday on record—again, based on the money made from adults (anxious to cosplay, no doubt). Yet, there continues to be a social rise against the holiday of Thanksgiving as many of the younger set are quite content to forget to be thankful, thinking that they are ‘owed’ houses, lands and career success.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Let me dare to say that many in our land have deliberately forgotten ‘how’ to be thankful about many things. Some have the mistaken belief that Thanksgiving is a holiday reserved for feasting and football. Others believe that it is a ‘rest’ day before Black Friday, where people ought to shop till they drop. Still others have the mindset that God is not needed, nor wanted as a part of the Thanksgiving holiday.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Pity.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Being thankful is the natural ‘joy’ of life. Those who maintain an attitude of thankfulness don’t have mental health issues; don’t have to ‘self-medicate’ themselves throughout the night and day just to survive, and don’t have to have a TV commercial or social media post to remind them to give to others less fortunate than themselves.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> I truly feel sorry for some of the younger set today for not being ‘forced’ to write thank-you notes to their relatives for Christmas and birthday gifts received from relatives. This was a part of ‘home training’ that is lacking today…the nurturing of an attitude of gratitude. Further, in many an upright home, the learning of the ‘social graces’ began with learning how to say ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’. IF one learns the importance of being thankful—especially when things go wrong—it gives one a connection to our Lord Jesus Christ in a way in which no video special can duplicate, and no FB post can manifest. Being thankful is something worth sharing. It will keep you warm inside while the world may be cold on the outside.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Thanksgiving is on the calendar for a reason and a season. IF you can’t be thankful for what you got, why should you expect to get more to add to your sphere of life? This holiday is more than just a ‘day’ for feasting and football. It is up to the mature to discover why the holiday exists, and practice thankfulness daily. Tomorrow is NOT promised to anyone (Hebrews 9:27 KJV). Let us be thankful for what God has blessed us with today…and each day of the year.</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.

I probably speak on controversial subjects a bit too much for their blood, but I will continue to move forward as I feel Divinely Guided to share my thoughts and views and research with the folks who subscribe to my channel and who visit my channel. I know that I am divinely guided by the Ancestors and Guardians and my Own Inner Light and Voice because of the impact that my little channel has. I am not a victim. I am victorious and YouTube don't know who they messin' with!

Supposedly his family came together to host an open funeral for him this past Saturday, just in case folks thought it was a hoax and he was really NOT dead. Any of you folks out there went to the funeral? How many of you went to the old man's funeral?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">One of the things about False Flags is that they have tale-tail signs written all over them. Some of them are so incredulous it makes you wonder why anyone would believe them. Some of them repeat the same staging with:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Media reporting over the top:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Horrendous details but no real camera footage:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Murder weapons used change shape, size and details:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">If there is video, obvious editing and or obscure rendering to cause even more speculation about how real is real.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div class="separator" style="text-align:left;clear:both;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PEWqft5OEeU/WPog_OqdCmI/AAAAAAACnP4/nGyFO7olbA81MFfkfdlza5MzbeXuv1mDQCPcB/s1600/Angela%2BSmith%2BCrying.jpg"><img width="320" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PEWqft5OEeU/WPog_OqdCmI/AAAAAAACnP4/nGyFO7olbA81MFfkfdlza5MzbeXuv1mDQCPcB/s320/Angela%2BSmith%2BCrying.jpg" border="0" alt="Angela%2BSmith%2BCrying.jpg" /></a>Witnesses corroborate stories on one hand then contradict on the others:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members of victims are immediately interviewed to keep the narrative fresh in the minds of the public.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members of victims show little or no real emotion or grief:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members who wear glasses have been exposed for reading a script as it can be seen in the lens of their glasses or as in one case I observed, she actually had the paper in her hand and while looking down at it, exposed it.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members are quick to forgive, which I find quite interesting because if you take the time to read the comments under the stories surrounding these events, well, the commenters for the most part are calling for blood, string him up, put him under the jail, etc.<a style="clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em;" href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bUr3Z0me-9s/WPog_MH7kgI/AAAAAAACnP4/oAPZM0c9Obo7NNwy02ncwT-gWmYbPvlAgCPcB/s1600/Alexis%2BLee-he%2Bhad%2Ba%2Bgambling%2Bproblem.jpg"><img width="143" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bUr3Z0me-9s/WPog_MH7kgI/AAAAAAACnP4/oAPZM0c9Obo7NNwy02ncwT-gWmYbPvlAgCPcB/s200/Alexis%2BLee-he%2Bhad%2Ba%2Bgambling%2Bproblem.jpg" border="0" alt="Alexis%2BLee-he%2Bhad%2Ba%2Bgambling%2Bproblem.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Reports interviewing victims and witnesses in front of a green screen.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Witnesses appear out of nowhere in some instances with a full account of what happened even before the Media/authorities have investigated it.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">It's all over social media, and the MSM is using social media as their source of verifiable info. Catch them making up stuff and they quickly move on to another story, rarely retracting the blunder in their reporting.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Witness and even some family members of the victims become celebrities and/or start non-profits or lawsuits. Interesting.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">FBI knew of the so called "terrorist" long before the act took place.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members and supporters show up within hours with pics, posters, etc. of the victim, some in pristine condition as if they were made by a professional who works on weekends and after hours.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">And last but not least of course, the perpetrator gets to die, kill himself or in rare cases, gets to have a trial which in most cases is a closed trial, away from public scrutiny.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VYDx6pIKoL4/WRd--JEp_vI/AAAAAAACnyk/nUT_-T2tyr07Z-knXL4C8_l-FUol8hrMACK4B/s1600/PA_McDonald%2527s_worker_who_tipped_police.png"><img width="200" height="111" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VYDx6pIKoL4/WRd--JEp_vI/AAAAAAACnyk/nUT_-T2tyr07Z-knXL4C8_l-FUol8hrMACK4B/s200/PA_McDonald%2527s_worker_who_tipped_police.png" border="0" alt="PA_McDonald%2527s_worker_who_tipped_police.png" /></a> <span style="font-size:14pt;">So Dylann Storm Roof gets a trial while Steve Stephens gets to kill himself. But they both paid a visit to a fast food restaurant.</span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Dylann was taken to Burger King.. by his captors no less, and Steve, well he just road up to the McDonald's a 1.5hrs drive from Cleveland and ordered a 6 pack of chicken nuggets, no wait, that dude is too big for a six pack, change that to 20 pack nuggets folks, make it more believable.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">And let me just add right here for those who really like to look deeper and deeper into these events "The Notion of Snuff Films" and the even more sinister notion of waging bets on them. You can check out Abel Danger's perspective on "Serco" and the "Snuff Films" angle. In a word, people don't have to "actually" die, but the films rake in enough revenue for the betters, so who cares?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">So we move to the theme of Crisis Actors. Personally, I really think they need to get better actors, cause for sure, dude was horrid in his performance, absolutely horrid! I think his acting is what made this story unbelievable on so many levels more than anything else.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Under this video <strong>"WHAT ARE CRISIS ACTORS? WAS STEVE STEPHEN A CRISIS ACTOR?"</strong> posted by Wise Minds (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8nbPXb_ypM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8nbPXb_ypM</a>) Someone commented and I quote this comment..</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><blockquote>"We assume 1000's of people lost their lives because we were told so. If there where no planes and it was all staged controlled demolition then the death toll was probably very low like incidentals they could not account for. Homeless persons as an example. There is good evidence that suggests those buildings where largely hollow that explains the lack of debris. It is also a common practice to remove everything out of buildings before implosion as the stuff in the building can cause the building to come down in a undesirable fashion. Like internal non support walls.</blockquote></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">If you follow these so called events where we never see the money shot they always turn the camera or give us the colored bars or the video is so grainy and terrible you can't make heads or tales of anything. Everything happens just out of sight of the camera. This makes the viewers mind fill in the blanks. Killing real people is a messy affair that could cause real world consequences. These assholes also believe in karma and I guess I have witnessed it myself. They fake it for a number of reasons but I think karma is the big reason it always comes back to bite you in the ass. Easier to fake it. When and if ever caught they can say it's not our fault you are an idiot that fell for a hoax."</div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><i>My Response to this comment is this:</i></b></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Wow, that's some interesting concepts on the controlled demolition theory. It needs to be investigated further.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Was there any large amounts of office junk moved out?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Did moving trucks come back and forth in the preceding days. Were businesses in the buildings moved out, I heard some relocated, but enough to minimize the obstruction to the demolition?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">However, if no to these questions, or only a minimal displacement then we must look to another theory.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Dustification. Weapons that can turn anything to dust. Judy Wood discusses this and your one statement about removing stuff makes so much sense and truly gives her theory legs.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">I think it's all of the above. They wanted to take building 7 down the same way, but for some reason the invisible plane did not hit that building. But all were wired for demolition and building seven should not have come down at all. It was the newest and most fortified building which Mayor Juliani had a protective fortified bunker at the top. Why did that building disintegrate?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Not sure if they believe in Karma, that's another hoax they got folks to believe in. They feel protected as long as they do what the overlords tell them. They have been duped as well.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Now there is blow back, what goes around comes around, though. And so, even if they are pranking the people they will and are susceptible to being pranked.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">These people live in fear of discovery which is why they spend so much time covering their tracks.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">I am convinced this was staged, and in more than one shot. The video of the shooting was not live streamed but later edited. If he was on the run, when and where did he find the time to edit the video?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">But all in all the masses are being played, but so are the players. There are even more sinister forces behind it all. The idea is to keep every one in their fear chakra so they are more easily manipulated.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><em><strong>In another comment under the same video:</strong></em></div><blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">"I wish we knew what really happened. I keep wondering what really went on in the streets of Cleveland when the Police told everyone to stay inside. It just feels like this is all preparation for something."</div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><i>My Response to this comment is this:</i></b></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><i> </i></b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align:left;clear:both;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TrOrYl-CHyg/WRc8AHhsKbI/AAAAAAACnx8/FhjnRhChI8wdAHvTdNjQLfAb0U1zOyzqQCPcB/s1600/militarized%2Bpolice.jpg"><img width="320" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TrOrYl-CHyg/WRc8AHhsKbI/AAAAAAACnx8/FhjnRhChI8wdAHvTdNjQLfAb0U1zOyzqQCPcB/s320/militarized%2Bpolice.jpg" border="0" alt="militarized%2Bpolice.jpg" /></a>People say it's martial law, but that is already here, it's been a long time since the police we called civil servants. These events give the cities, towns and states more reason to intensify law enforcement with militarized armored vehicles, munitions and gear. They no longer are trained to see people as someone to protect and serve, but as enemy combatants or civilians, these are military terms they been using for years. It's intensifying and becoming more common, but this country been under martial law since Lincoln was president.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">The idea of government, is the idea of God. What I mean is Government=God to many people. They worship the Flag of their government and expect their government to protect them from threats foreign and domestic. With this in mind they control the perception of the masses of what the government is bequeathed by a higher authority to do in their rolls of governing over the people. It always comes back to this.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Governments rule by creating reasons to fear the lack of their protection, thereby they are legitimate in doing all the things they do that curtail and in some case rescind human rights and privacy. Governments can do to you what others cannot do to you and make you pay for it by issuing a tax levy.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Governments create situations that make you cry out for more government control and power over your life. The ultimate goal of government is to totally disavow any sovereignty that the individual would or could have and give it all to them and then charge you for it. People happily go along with it because Government has created this illusion and has given you a document and/or thousands of unread ones, to prove how much power they have over you and your life.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">“Humanity is hard wired to believe in other than self, outside of self, power not contained in self, so the scriptures (propaganda-sorry to say) indoctrinates folks to believe in a power outside of them. It made the Romans rich, it made the Catholic Church rich, and today, it makes the so-called powers that be rich elites who continue to dupe the masses.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div class="separator" style="text-align:left;clear:both;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xqQvqUgCZxM/WPa6jeGMOfI/AAAAAAACnNA/bP2l0WPr9QgHGJgA6GFQerAGN3FJqbdDQCPcB/s1600/Stephens_on_the_Phone-1.png"><img width="320" height="175" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xqQvqUgCZxM/WPa6jeGMOfI/AAAAAAACnNA/bP2l0WPr9QgHGJgA6GFQerAGN3FJqbdDQCPcB/s320/Stephens_on_the_Phone-1.png" border="0" alt="Stephens_on_the_Phone-1.png" /></a>Whatever character they need to use to demonize (Bin Laden) or glorify (celebrities) we have the same story going on, the story of good and evil, savior and saved, lost and found. So for real, it does not matter if Jesus is real or contrived... what matters is the power this Archetype has had in taking away the "PERSONAL POWER" of humanity, or anyone who believes in him. It enslaves humanity and ties a yoke of perceived and fabricated freedom predicated on what... SOMEBODY ELSE DID FOR YOU!</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">It props up governments worldwide, who take care of their citizens, instead of societies where citizens take care of themselves. It's the age old plan of keeping the slaves in check through the use of false hope in that which is outside, thus losing connection to the true divine self that lies within. It creates martyrs, pacifist, abusers and dictators. When humanity finally wakes up from its slumber, hypnosis and amnesia, there will be a whole lot of shaking going on that will reverberate throughout the entire Universe.”</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:left;"><b><u>LINKS OF INTEREST</u></b></div><div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;" border="1" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;font-weight:bold;"><span class="font-size-3">THIS IS WHAT GOD SAID TO ME ABOUT THE YOUTUBE CRISIS, CHANGE AND LOSS</span></div><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;color:#666666;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKp5Qqke34">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKp5Qqke34</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLFns5Tz-Iw&index=13&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLFns5Tz-Iw&index=13&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7-25dwf9iM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7-25dwf9iM</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6iKrjfgOyg&index=5&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6iKrjfgOyg&index=5&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfDDFbX46i8&index=14&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfDDFbX46i8&index=14&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;font-weight:bold;"><span class="font-size-3">Philip Defranco Is Being Kicked Off His Channel</span></div><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;color:#666666;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lAwpZ_ZcjA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lAwpZ_ZcjA</a></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div></div></div></div>

I just looked up and found TEN different gun murders that happened between Sunday and today in the United States. Now ask yourself, why was the country made to get worked up over THIS one incident? And if the killer killed himself, Why? The old man was random right? So, what did he accomplish? Don't killers have motives? But don't stress your brain to much thinking about that, stick to this one thing.... </i></blockquote><blockquote><i>Why did you allow yourself to get worked up over ONE man killing another man, as if that doesn't happen EVERYDAY in this country? What was so special that CNN, HEADLINE NEWS, FOX,NBC, CBS, etc.. all had this as the main topic? It was a murder. There were seven murders in one day in Chicago a couple weeks back and it didn't get Worldwide Breaking news on all day and night coverage. So how did you get fooled into being worked up about a murder, when 10 more happened that you didn't even hear about or care about while they were showing you this ONE on every station?<span style="font-size:14pt;">And again, lets not forget the fact that 2 Black Judges were murdered, one with a gun, the other was found fully clothed floating in the Hudson River. Trump just dropped a Massive Bomb on Afghanistan (Isn't that a Bigger Story than a single murder?) Korea is trying to launch missiles and flirting with starting a War, Military soldiers are coming out saying that we are being fooled by false flags in Syria, etc etc.... but they had you angry over A murder. Just ONE guy shooting another guy.

There were a few more that were streamed on facebook live that I could show you...but it's not necessary. I'm just wondering why the Media choose to ONLY broadcast and cover the Cleveland situation when so many more murders went on in that 3 day period AND they were being streamed. There were 42 people shot in Chicago the same day the Cleveland situation went on. What's going to happen is they are going to get it to the point to where you can't live stream these cops going upside Black people's head soon. But either way it goes, you need to realize you are being played and directed by puppet masters.<br />"Video was just released showing the senseless murder of a young man in Brooklyn.<br />According to witnesses at the scene, the young man started arguing with a man over his “disrespect” towards his girlfriend.

They are parrots for the agenda. If you look into it, you will discover that the CIA has infiltrated the MSM.</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">The story is already written, that's why they sound like mocking birds.</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Now, with that in mind, remember this. They need to control the narrative. Random deaths and killings they cannot control. However, they can control the staged ones. They can also set their actors in place, camera men, narratives, etc. like a movie script and then they can release it to the public.</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">The repetition of the story shows how the narrative was designed.</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Now, they could very well pick anyone to play the roles. But typically they choose folks in situations who have criminal records, or something in their history or maybe a looming court case to use as patsies. Whatever the case may be, you can tell by the lack of affect that it's all staged. Mike Brown's Mom, was clearly upset at first, then we find out later, her husband was a Mason. Trayvon Martin"s Mom endorsed Hillary Clinton. You see?</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">They create a Web of complicit characters so they can control the narrative and in most if not all cases control the minds, thoughts and feelings of the masses.</div><br /><div style="font-family:cambria;margin:0in;"><div style="font-size:14pt;"><div style="text-align:center;"><b><i style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><span style="color:#FF0000;">The other killings were Not selected to be part of the narrative or, as some would call it, a false flag/psyops.</span></i></b></div></div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-size:14pt;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear:both;color:#1d2129;font-size:14pt;text-align:center;"><a style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gK9Jaj7hl7w/WPohAn3IAtI/AAAAAAACnPk/JFDezXHFnMQO3XxSF2v_PFlCndtZaTlbQCEw/s1600/Daily_Mail-Girlfriend_of_Cleveland_man-74.png"><img width="320" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gK9Jaj7hl7w/WPohAn3IAtI/AAAAAAACnPk/JFDezXHFnMQO3XxSF2v_PFlCndtZaTlbQCEw/s320/Daily_Mail-Girlfriend_of_Cleveland_man-74.png" border="0" alt="Daily_Mail-Girlfriend_of_Cleveland_man-74.png" /></a></div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-size:14pt;"></div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><b>REWARD:</b></div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">I think the reward thing is based on many incidentals.

How many people have you found to be rewarded instantaneously for finding or reporting to have found some criminal.</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">Rewards, Bonds, etc. are all like GoFundMe. they collect the money or the promise and then they bet on it on the stock market.

So I believe it was three organizations that gathered the reward together. They can write it off and/or insure it.</div><div style="color:#1d2129;font-family:cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">SMDH, we really don't know the half of how these folks play with money, all fiat, all bogus, but gets them their gold toilets that are paid for with a black credit card, that is as bogus as the fiat money they think they have. It's all just fluff folks and people die for it. The real rich people do not have cash money in their pockets, they have stocks and bonds and credit cards. They may have gold and silver, but you can't use that at the supermarket, so they use their cards which are all just data entry in some bank's computer. They got us thinking we can go out and find some criminal better than they can, it's all a hoax, cause they knew exactly where that guy was, you know they had a gps pin on him. And then dude had the nerve to say where he killed people and give out his phone number, seriously? The guy at the McDonalds was just another player like that woman who saw Dylann Storm Roof. They be playing us big time, folks.

<div><p><b style="font-family:cambria;font-size:14pt;"><i>Nana's Commentary:</i></b></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--09cNPe6JDE/VwgCsHG64KI/AAAAAAACY9w/a9AvNgS0qdAY_y46U_ijOQpjtQqy79Rvg/s1600/tumblr_n6e2q8Xfzf1ram4lgo1_500.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--09cNPe6JDE/VwgCsHG64KI/AAAAAAACY9w/a9AvNgS0qdAY_y46U_ijOQpjtQqy79Rvg/s320/tumblr_n6e2q8Xfzf1ram4lgo1_500.jpg?width=150" width="150" class="align-left" alt="tumblr_n6e2q8Xfzf1ram4lgo1_500.jpg?width=150" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D5ab3I7brvI/VwgAZNpqH8I/AAAAAAACY9c/TcMLGry3s1om8AOJ-XPzt4NGFDx8HVa1Q/s1600/Black-Frederick-quote-about-Slaves-Narrative-life.jpg" style="clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em;"></a>I remember thinking to myself, back in 1990; "I wonder what has happened to Black Folks as a result of Slavery?" It was like an epiphany, as I can actually remember where I was sitting when it occurred to me.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">I had just entered the field of mental health having started off in Sociology. Somehow, life lead me to the field of Mental Health and particularly as a result of wanting to use Cultural Enrichment as a way for healing and benefiting Black folks who have so many odds stacked against them as it were.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">I couldn't help but notice the parallels, from denial to over achievement to resilience to secrecy and a host of other conditions, outcomes and variables that plague our community as well as offer some real life stories of survival even in the most hostile of environments. We still managed to work, have families, raise our children, get an education, despite the trauma we received.</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;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D5ab3I7brvI/VwgAZNpqH8I/AAAAAAACY9g/kExIhAXaLCwJvnOUVE2ZqHbIxql48IB7Q/s1600/Black-Frederick-quote-about-Slaves-Narrative-life.jpg" style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D5ab3I7brvI/VwgAZNpqH8I/AAAAAAACY9g/kExIhAXaLCwJvnOUVE2ZqHbIxql48IB7Q/s320/Black-Frederick-quote-about-Slaves-Narrative-life.jpg" width="320" alt="Black-Frederick-quote-about-Slaves-Narrative-life.jpg" /></a></div>However, it seemed that talking about PTSD in the clinical sense was didactic, linear and devoid of inference beyond the obvious. That is, a person caught in a war zone, a person who experienced a car accident, physical/emotional abuse or the death of a loved one. We knew that it would affect them in so many ways and we often called in "Adjustment Disorder". Then we moved on to figure out strategies for healing and getting these "individuals" to a healthier mindset and that feeling of "safety" again.</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;">As these thoughts swirled around in my mind and I began to seriously wonder if we may be suffering from trauma that was inflicted upon our foreparents and if in fact, the genetic memory has been imprinted on our DNA. It has been discovered that various events can be imprinted on our DNA so how about some shock?</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;">I remember attending seminars where it was presented that our bodies remember our trauma long after the traumatic event had passed. Being a dreamer and one who interpreted dreams, I knew that our subconscious, or that place where dreams lie, would also bring up disturbing and/or traumatic events in various dream images.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">It all began to make sense to me that surely, African people in the Americas, and perhaps the entire Diaspora; who were captured and imprisoned on slaved ships and brought to a foreign land, most certainly have suffered serious trauma along with transmitting that trauma to generations that followed. And as Dr. DeGruy Leary explains the trauma didn't stop after they were brought here, nor did it stop after they were released from chattel slavery, it continued, and continues to this day. Much of it is insidious and below the surface but it continues in the form of police brutality, poverty, poor educational systems, dilapidated neighborhoods, erroneous depiction of our youth in the media, etc., etc., etc.</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/-DYRrdPiGl0w/VwgCEoFHHjI/AAAAAAACY9o/SxNlJp6mu7Y2n5r3Nyksh_snzd88lVCPg/s1600/DrJoyDeGruyLeary.jpg" style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DYRrdPiGl0w/VwgCEoFHHjI/AAAAAAACY9o/SxNlJp6mu7Y2n5r3Nyksh_snzd88lVCPg/s320/DrJoyDeGruyLeary.jpg" width="320" alt="DrJoyDeGruyLeary.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-size:14pt;">I always wanted to research it, or see what others have done in that line of research. I am so grateful to Dr. DeGruy Leary who has done the grunt work on this topic. I am sure it can be developed even beyond the book she wrote, and perhaps others will look into it. She also has a lot of courage to even broach this subject. In my ignorance it seemed to only make sense that the impact of our past would affect our future, but the cognitive dissonance will not allow many on both sides of the aisle to see it, accept it or do anything about it. So I must commend her bravery to even take the time, resources and brain work to put this thought together so eloquently.</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;">She, along with Dr. Frances Kress-Welsing, in my estimation, have capture two of the most profound aspects of our history post Trans-Atlantic slave trade. When you couple White Supremacy with Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome you can pretty much sum up the African experience in the Americas and throughout the Diaspora where racism is an integral part of the society where its impact can be seen in politics, education, religion, entertainment, historical analysis, health care, economics and the general welfare.</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;">Below you will find a video playlist of some of Dr. DeGruy Leary's talks on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.</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;"><iframe width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLRwF36V2kd5zOMaODd08vPNucW1ibd0dW&wmode=opaque"></iframe></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BsK6FcPgBS4/VwgCj_LvGLI/AAAAAAACY9s/u8-PccST-lMBXMSpO7Y0xHTekZ3yLCsrw/s200/post%2Btraumatic%2Bslave%2Bsyndrome-joy%2Bdegruy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BsK6FcPgBS4/VwgCj_LvGLI/AAAAAAACY9s/u8-PccST-lMBXMSpO7Y0xHTekZ3yLCsrw/s200/post%2Btraumatic%2Bslave%2Bsyndrome-joy%2Bdegruy.jpg?width=134" width="134" class="align-left" alt="post%2Btraumatic%2Bslave%2Bsyndrome-joy%2Bdegruy.jpg?width=134" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family:cambria;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;margin:0in;"><div style="color:#333333;font-size:12pt;text-align:center;"></div><a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/Post_Traumatic_Slave_Syndrome.html?id=dyHWMwEACAAJ&source=kp_cover&hl=en" style="font-family:Cambria;"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;">https://books.google.com/books/about/Post_Traumatic_Slave_Syndrome.html?id=dyHWMwEACAAJ&source=kp_cover&hl=en</span></a><br /><div style="font-size:12pt;"></div><div style="font-size:12pt;">Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome</div></div><div style="font-family:cambria;font-size:12pt;margin:0in;">Pasted from <<a href="http://joydegruy.com/resources-2/post-traumatic-slave-syndrome/">http://joydegruy.com/resources-2/post-traumatic-slave-syndrome/</a>></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:12pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;margin:0in;">Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;margin:0in;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing (PTSS)</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"> is a 2005 book resulting from years of historical and psychological research by Joy DeGruy (formerly Leary)</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Traumatic_Slave_Syndrome#cite_note-DeGruy-1"><span style="font-size:8.4pt;">[1]</span></a><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-style:italic;">PTSS</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"> describes a set of behaviors, beliefs and actions associated with or, related to multi-generational </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_trauma"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">trauma</span></a><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">experienced by </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">African Americans</span></a><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"> that include but are not limited to undiagnosed and untreated </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Traumatic_Stress_Disorder"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">Post Traumatic Stress Disorder</span></a><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"> (PTSD) in enslaved Africans and their descendants.</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Traumatic_Slave_Syndrome#cite_note-DeGruy-1"><span style="font-size:8.4pt;">[1]</span></a></div><div style="font-family:cambria;font-size:10.5pt;margin:0in;"><span style="font-style:italic;">PTSS</span> posits that centuries of slavery in the United States, followed by systemic and structural racism and oppression, including lynching, Jim Crow laws, and unwarranted mass incarceration, have resulted in multigenerational maladaptive behaviors, which originated as survival strategies.
