When We ALL Lose Our Freedoms... A Message for White Folks!



As I sit here on "Independence Day" 2013, I am painfully reminded that though we celebrate with fireworks, food and family fun...the world is still spattered with the mark of the U.S.A. from pole to pole. That mark is the blood of millions of people in Iraq, Lybia, Bahrain, Afganistan, Somalia, Syria and all over the continent of Africa. I am pondering the many freedoms and rights we have surrendered in the name of security and safety and democracy and peace. And at the helm of the U.S.A. global agenda, a myriad of U.S. Corporations that mask their heinous crimes against humanity within the neat framework of the sincere patriotism of millions of Americans.

Is it right for us to celebrate freedom when we condone the infringement of others' freedoms all around the world? Is this "celebration" merely an ignorant slap in the face from an ignorant, fearful people who have forgotten what it means to be free? Do we really "believe" in America as it is or as it once was?

As an African American, I am almost ashamed to find myself saying...what happened to the America that used to be? Even with all our faults as a nation, specifically the atrocities against Black people, I am filled with regret that who we were (or who we believed we were) was still, so much better than who we are today.

For years I used to pray that the average White man would find himself in the same predicament as the average Black man. Denied his unalienable, inalienable and constitutional rights and freedoms without his consent. I prayed for this because I truly believed that once White folks felt the sting and injury caused by the oppression of their freedoms, we would finally have a real revolution a-brewing. To some degree that is true. And I am so happy to see and hear people like Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal, Chris Hedges, Alex Jones, Robert Ian, and Max Keiser speaking about the need for a social, economic, political and yes, even spiritual revolution.

I am hoping that the average White citizen gets a clue. And I am hoping that they don't have to wait until the sting of their oppressed freedoms reaches catastrophic and epic proportions. As I was viewing this video (below) I thought to myself....What if White men experienced the same type of imprisonment disparities that Black men experience. Black men are 7 times more likely to be in the penal system. Imagine if the White male incarceration rate was 7 times higher. That would put about 10% of all white men in prison. Would that be enough to outrage the other 90% to start a revolution? I guess we will see.

You might say, well if you feel that way, why don't you start a revolution? ...or why don't Black people start the revolution? Good Question. I'm trying to do what I can. This blog is evidence of that. And anyone who follows me on Facebook sees my posts, calling others to recognize the truth and rise to action. If you like my blog and agree with it to a significant degree, let's talk. Maybe we can join forces and make a difference. In the meantime, stay tuned to this blog or to the website:

OBAMA WORSHIP

Obama and Superman


Well, if you follow this blog, you already know my thoughts about our president. But this time, I'm just going to wrap my brain around this growing phenomenon that I am calling "Obama Worship"

So here's the scenario.

I was watching a YouTube clip posted by We Are Change.org where they were interviewing people in D.C. after the Obama inauguration event. As could be expected, everyone interviewed was an avid Obama supporter. The general crux of the interviews involved the reporter informing the person interviewed about one or two commonly known offences of the president during his first term, and then asking the person what they thought about these documentable facts.

One by one, as the reporter attempted to enlighten citizens about the implications of the NDAA, NDRP Executive orders signed by Obama, as well as hard data on escalating military acts (of war), economic decline, degrading social conditions, etc., these citizens gave replies such as...

"well, I don't know about all that...I just know that I believe in him"

Or

"well, that may be true but... I think he means well and I still believe in him"

ETC, ETC, ETC.

And I'm thinking to myself...

"what's up with the "believe in him" mantra?"

I JUST DON'T GET IT!

So I kept watching, and one after another, regardless of the facts and data presented, these people spoke forth their strong "belief" in this man, who, (they even sometimes agreed), had committed these great atrocities against global citizens. It was a phenomenal thing to witness. Particularly the fact that the persons interviewed stated that they realized the truth of what the reporter was telling them about offences Obama had committed to date.

And it was the ... "yeah, that may be true BUT"... that stuck out in my mind, since as we know, the word but NEGATES whatever comes before it.

As in...

I know Obama has engaged U.S. troops in acts of war against other countries without congressional approval BUT...

or

I know that Obama has taken away many inalienable rights of all U.S citizens BUT...

or

I know Obama gave immunity from prosecution to all the criminal banksters we bailed out  and who we are now financing further through quantitative easing and citizens' revenue BUT...

ETC, ETC, ETC.

How in the world can you (one) NEGATE the facts and defer to your feelings OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

I JUST DON'T GET IT!

Honestly, I guess that didn't really surprise me. Most U.S. citizens have  "illusion-of-truth-lemming syndrome" and function in the realm of follow the leader, regardless of where he leads. But the thing that I noticed consistently was the overwhelming use of the word BELIEVE (not support or prefer) which most of the interviewees used to describe their relationship with/feelings about their president.

Maybe it's just me, but I BELIEVE IN world peace, I BELIEVE IN treating people the way I want to be treated, I BELIEVE in family, love, sincerity, integrity, etc. I BELIEVE IN THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE! 

To say that I BELIEVE IN the president, just seems to me to be way over the spiritual line of demarcation.
But like I said, maybe that's just me!

And what registered with me the most was the degree to which these lovely men and women were willing to go in order to defend their president, IN SPITE OF the facts and data that they acknowledged was true.

SO WHAT'S UP WITH THE OBAMA WORSHIP?


wor·ship (wûrshp)
n.
1.
a. The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
b. The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.
2. Ardent devotion; adoration.
3. often Worship Chiefly British Used as a form of address for magistrates, mayors, and certain other dignitaries: Your Worship.

v. wor·shiped or wor·shipped, wor·ship·ing or wor·ship·ping, wor·ships

v.tr.
1. To honor and love as a deity.
2. To regard with ardent or adoring esteem or devotion. See Synonyms at revere1.

v.intr.
1. To participate in religious rites of worship.
2. To perform an act of worship.
 
Yes, I think that word applies here; especially when you say you BELIEVE IN someone.
 
For some, Obama is an icon of the New World Order, an idol to whom people offer their "devotion and adoration". For others he is "honored and loved" for his good intentions. And for others, he is even "esteemed" as a messenger of peace and a savior of the common people;  REGARDLESS of the fact that he has authorized (and continues to authorize) the slaughter of MILLIONS of people all across the world, especially the AFRICAN PEOPLE!  REGARDLESS of the fact that he consistently lies to the American people, allows the destruction of human life, authorizes the destruction of the planet in the name of "progress", misrepresents the intentions of U.S. citizens (80% of us do not support the global wars we are currently engaged in), and steals U.s. citizens constitutional and inalienable rights in the name of homeland security. And yet, African Americans (and many of other ethnicities) overwhelmingly still revere him as a God-send to the common people!
 
I JUST DON'T GET IT!
 
So I invite you to post your comments on this one for sure. Maybe somebody out there can help me understand how the man who kills, steals, and destroys human life is worthy of such  "adoration" (worship). PLEASE...ENLIGHTEN ME! Cause I must have missed the messianic message of Obama.

And if you're going to start by telling me you love his cute children, his swaggar, his hypocrital message of (CHANGE) or  his wife's inaugural garments...well, as my mother always says..."If you like it, I love it!" So, by all means... Love it. Love him. Believe in him. If you must. But you will be hard pressed to give me some hard facts about the GOOD he has done for mankind.
 
"I know, I know...BUT"
 
THINK FOR YOURSELF and LIVE FREE! 
 
I AM sincerely,
GROWN ASS CITIZEN

GUN CONTROL-SHMUN CONTROL (You've Got to be Kidding Me!)


The uproar about gun control has the entire country in a whirlwind, as well it should. Why?, because the entire Gun Control Campaign is just another smoke screen that the U.S. oligarchy is using to control the fears and thus, the thinking of the U.S. citizenry.

To think, that this "culture of violence" as it has been called by many activists, scholars, journalists, and spiritual leaders, has actually been manufactured over the past few decades by a tyrannical government hell bent on destroying the terrorists (real, manufactured, and imaginary) destroying the civil rights of all citizens (not just Black people or illegal immigrants or the poorest of the poor BUT ALL CITIZENS), destroying the planet in the quest for profit, destroying the children with poor education, GMO foods, dangerous vaccines, economic disparities, etc.  and yes,  destroying the minds of the masses with prescription medications, violence-saturated entertainment, decadent philosophies, vampiric glorification, ego-centric preoccupation and degenerative music, television and overall media.hype...well, how ironic is it that the perpetrator of the evil (worldwide) would then turn to its victims and say, "hey, why are you trying to defend yourself?...just turn over your guns and LET ME IMPLEMENT MY DESTRUCTION UPON YOU HASTILY!

WHAT THE HELL????????????????????????

What kind of fool do I look like? To give over my only means of defending myself to the very entity that seeks to destroy me and oppress me.

As my mother would say.. "that's like bending me over with NO vaseline!"  Yes, it's crass, but it's true. In fact, it's like me "bending myself over" and saying...Hey! go ahead ram me with your best, most lethal shot buddy, I don't care anymore.

Well I don't know anyone that would knowingly do this so I have to assume that this is simply a case of
THE MASSES FAILING TO SEE THE TRUTH 
AND REFUSING TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES!


In case you were wondering, the 2nd Amendment was included in the Constitution to insure that exactly this type of tyrannical siege of the people could not occur. And if we surrender to this onslaught of obsession with oppression of the masses....woe to those of us who lead the people astray...
AND SHAME ON THE FOOLS THAT WILLINGLY SURRENDER TO THE DEVIL AND HIS MINIONS. 

No one seems to see the "coincidences" related to these tragedies. All these recent shooting have been at the hands of prescription drug-induced psychoses. Why is no one asking for PRESCRIPTION DRUG CONTROL? If the gun is the guilty cause, then surely the drugs are too right? Only if you have common sense, an asset many have no grasp of anymore. The pharmaceutical industry is turning AVERAGE CITIZEN into PSYCHO CITIZEN at the stroke of a pen. A doctor actually prescribed my 74 year old mother with oxycodone (a "poppy-based" pain killer (prescription heroine) and one of the most sought after prescription drugs on the street)! What the Hell!???? She was as loopy as a fruit cake and I IMMEDIATELY told her to stop taking them.

AND FOLKS DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE GOING NUTTY AND SHOOTING INNOCENT FOLKS????????????????????

IT'S NOT THE GUNS PEOPLE! 
AND IT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT!

Well you can give up your guns if you want. But I applaud the GrownAssCitizens who refuse to surrender OR believe the hype. And I hope and pray that we "hold the line" as Khalid Muhammad once said. And give this devil a run for his money before it's all over.

WE WILL NOT BE OVERTAKEN BY A 
TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT.

And for your research pleasure, I have included an article about the Ten Top Companies that benefit from war and weapons manufacturing. Just FYI

Now you know, if there is money to be made, there is no way these greedy bastards want to take our guns without also using those same guns to keep us under tyrannical control and making a big buck while they're at it! Just look at all the guns that have been sold since the mass shooting season began....semi-automatic weapons are on back-order! Well, I guess since they didn't need as many guns in Iraq and Afghanistan, they decided to dump them in the US. and make some vacation money. Now they can bet on the weapons derivatives and futures market---knowing that it's a WIN WIN for them, JUST LIKE THE ILLUMINATI HAD DONE FOR CENTURIES..playing both ends against the middle! And no one is the wiser.

What a marketing strategy! the devil is a smart cookie. A defeated cookie, but smart, nevertheless.

KNOW THE TRUTH AND 
THINK FOR YOURSELF!
