“The objective of the war against Libya is not just its oil reserves (now estimated at 60 billion barrels), which are the greatest in Africa and whose extraction costs are among the lowest in the world, nor the natural gas reserves of which are estimated at about 1,500 billion cubic meters. In the cross hairs of ‘willing’ of the operation ‘Unified Protector’ there are sovereign wealth funds, capital that the Li

Toward North American African Statehood
Toward North American African Statehood
The dream of a Black Nation carved out of the USA is a notion that may one day become a reality. It is no more a dream than was the state of Israel, the coming state of Palestine, the Southern Sudan and elsewhere.
North American Africans have a human right to self determination and sovereignty, especially we never exercised such since our sojourn in the wilderness of North America, and yet our condition deteriorates wi

A Mother's Message to the Police of America
Those of us who came of age in the 60s will recall that many of the riots and rebellions were the result of a mother rescuing her son from the hands of the police.
Before we knew it, all hell had broken loose, cities burned to the ground. In a recent conversation with Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds, he urged me to inform him of incidents of police abuse. Well, Martin, a mother approached me today in Berk
I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.
Fidel Castro
There are many who will condemn me as a heretic –both within the church and among so called progressives – for declaring that Jesus was a revolutionary and had a revolutionary vision for the world. Yes, Jesus –that Jesus that we celebrate, that we proclaim, and that we have been labeled as his followers – the Christ (or Promised

Parable of the Green Revolution
Can man stop the ash cloud over Europe? A man was asked about the future of books. He answered, the question is not about the future of books but the future of man!--Plato Negro
The Green Revolution is not what you think, rather it is Nature in revolt against man, and man can do little when Nature is against him. He can try but the only solution is to correct himself otherwise Nature is going to consume him, yes, eat him alive, flooding the la
Hi Everyone, Hope that all is well with you. I am peeking up from a dreadful chest cold which hlas literally forced me to bed for over a week. Up I come ready to get to work raising funds for a trip to Libya. Our scheduled trip was halted because of the Obama Sanctions which for bid acceptance of any finances or other assistance from Libya. We have to engineer our own fund raising drive to make the trip previously scheduled for last Thursday. We are the new age Freedom Riders (Boats to Gaza) enr

As peace loving and progressive forces in the West and in the US in particular deliriously celebrated the awakening of pro-democratic movements in white dominated Islamic countries that routinely and officially kick blacks to the curb, growing evidence suggests the West, led by France, engineered a political and military coup in the Cote d’Ivoire, that some say is designed to re-colonize that country.
Set beside widespread beliefs the West i.e., Europe and the US, is d

Whenever the U.S. government enters into a state of fiscal austerity, politicians always look for budget cuts from programs they deem to be less important or have little or no constituency. Foreign policy budgets, especially those directed towards Africa seem to always show up near the top of that list.
The left will blame it on the “mean” Republicans who don’t care about Africa. The truth is that Africa seems to benefit more from Republican control of Congress/W

DEAR BLACK HOME SCHOOLERS AND ALL OTHERS
The constant reports of a bad economy is a optical illusion based on the premise of knowledge from the orchestrators that blacks thrive on misery loves company therefore they give us the appearance that the current economic conditions are effecting everyone in a negative downhill motion but in all truth and actuality that is no
Well, my colleague (Sam Friedman) has challenged me to identify the Marxist ideologues that I refer to in my most recent blurb. The problem with friends is that they hold us accountable. And if confession, as my Baptist friends constantly remind me, is good for the soul, then let me here and now confess –that yes once I was a Marxist ideologue. Where do I begin –at the beginning I suppose.
Most of you know that I was in the military, a Viet Nam veteran, and duri

“Incomes and wages are not the only places we find staggering inequality. Wealth—also called net worth, measured as assets less liabilities—is skewed heavily, not only to the rich, but to the richest of the rich. Starting with the bottom fifth of the wealth distribution is a group that has negative wealth (in other words, on average, the least wealthy 20% of people in this country owe more t
Monkey Mind Media Gets it Right, for Once!
The following article by the Monkey Mind Media's Chauncey Bailey Project correctly focuses on the role of the Oakland Police in the murder of Chauncey Bailey. We congratulate them for this piece of ivestigative journalism. We condemn them for not pursuing this line and thereby forcing the DA to charge the OPD in the murder.
We have been invited to lunch by Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds. We shall ask him why the Tribune has not pressured the DA
