How The Legacy of MLK Was Sidetracked
How The MLK Legacy Was Sidetracked
Junious Ricardo Stanton
The powers
who shouldn’t be thought during the height of their hubris and thuggery during
the 1960’s, once they killed Martin Luther King Jr., they would eliminate a
major obstacle to their imperialistic wars in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Loas and
Cambodia and the use of Thailand as a staging area for these wars).
King gained international fame as
the spokesperson for the Montgomery bus boycott which dealt a crippling blow to
the racial apartheid in the city of Montgomery Alabama by using economic
boycotts as a tool but also to US policies of racial oppression. His success in
Montgomery along with an unprecedented string of legal victories by the NAACP led
to intensified challenges to the US system of racial apartheid and oppression not
just in the South but throughout the country. King won a Nobel Peace Prize for
his non-violent movement that shook the foundations of US racial oppression in
the 1950’s.
In addition to his push for full inclusion within
US society, King stood for international peace. He was uncompromising in his
determination to bring an end to US imperialism. King linked the struggles of
poor and marginalized people in America with this government’s racist
imperialistic policies around the world. In addition to his outspoken opposition
and condemnation of the war, King was planning to confront the US government regarding
its domestic policies by staging a multi-ethnic Poor People’s Campaign in
Washington D.C.
King was actively recruiting a
multi-ethnic coalition of poor, marginalized and disposed Americans to join
with him in his efforts to force the US to alter its priorities from war to
peace and from class-based greed to a broad policy of prosperity for all
Americans. None of his popular peers in the American clergy were doing what
King did, not Billy Graham, not Norman Vincent Peale, not Bishop Sheen, not
Cardinal Spellman; none of the television evangelists nor the major Rabbis. None
of them.
None of them stood up to openly oppose
the carnage in Southeast Asia, or the devastation and division the war was
causing at home. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke up and stood up and the peace
movement embraced him for it. King’s vision was an anathema to the ruling class
and their lackies in the government. His ideas posed an existential threat to
the overlord’s dreams of expanded empire, global rapine, pillage and plunder.
So, like the thugs and psychopaths
they are, they ordered his murder. King’s assassination triggered a backlash of
shock and violence. Riots erupted in over one hundred US cities and towns as
people reacted to the brutal murder of a man who worked to bring peace and deep
societal change to America.
Not satisfied with King’s elimination
these demons set out to obscure his mission, to obfuscate what he was really
about and what he was attempting to accomplish. Immediately they began referring
to him as a dreamer rather than a visionary man of action.
A dreamer is asleep. King was not asleep, he
was awake, keenly conscious of the evils and danger America imperialism posed
to the world. He was forced to recognize and admit the greatest purveyor of
violence in the world was his own government and he said so on numerous occasions!
King pulled the scab off of the sore that was American fascism allowing people
to see how they were being oppressed, manipulated and used to further the
ambitions of empire.
In order to obscure what King was
really about they distracted the us. They kept referring to the I Have a
Dream portion of a 1963 speech he delivered at the March on Washington,
totally ignoring the parts of the speech where he said “Instead of honoring
this sacred obligation (of freedom) America has given the Negro people a bad
check; a check which has come back marked insufficient funds… So, we have come to cash this check – a check
that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice”.
The ruling class’s media never plays
that portion of the speech or reminds us of his subsequent attempts to cash the
check he was organizing his Poor People’s Campaign to present to the US
government!
Instead of calling Martin Luther King Jr. a sage
and pushing his agenda of peace, reconciliation and domestic prosperity; the
ruling class concocted a Day of Service to misdirect and dupe the masses
into preserving the very system King was attempting to tear down by doing
isolated deeds of service rather than demolishing the edifice which benefits
from actions like Trump is doing in Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Iran and Venezuela!
Don’t fall for the okey-doke. Keep
King’s real legacy alive, resist!
MAGA = Chaos
MAGA = Chaos

As we enter
2026 and Dondal Trumps second full year of his second term as president, it is
quite apparent that Donlad Trump bamboozled millions of people who fell for his
Make America Great Again con game. First of all, the slogan Make America Great
Again is not original, Trump plagiarized it from another actor/fraud president
named Ronald Reagan.
Trump like Reagan claimed to be a conservative,
a singularly focused put America first kind of guy. He made bombastic
hyperbolic promises to bring back manufacturing, industrial capacity, jobs,
investment, he would fix the economy, reduce inefficiency reduce the trade
balances, restore America to global primacy and bring in an era of peace and
prosperity. Well one year in, none of this has manifested or transpired. In fact,
just the opposite has unfolded. The only prosperity we see is the increase in
billionaires and the wealth Trump’s family is amassing under his presidency. Meanwhile
the average American is seeing his or her standard of living decline, their
savings and wealth eviscerated and their sense of security and confidence
weakening every passing day. Trump’s reckless, wishy-washy policy decisions are
a major concern domestically and around the world. Much of what he’s done is
blowing up in his face like one of Wiley E. Coyote’s contraptions and gizmos.
Trump ran on a platform of peace. He
said he would end the forever wars, work to establish peaceful relations within
the world community and create a renaissance of American greatness. He said he would end partisan use of the DOJ as
a tool of persecution, he promised to release the Epstein, JFK and MLK files. So
far, we aren’t seeing any of this materialize.
Trump has gone totally rogue;
arbitrarily allowing essentially an advisory committee he called DOGE make
unilateral changes in government, terminate employees and stop funding programs
Congress already voted appropriations for, he has brow beat the chairman of the
US Central Bank to pressure him to reduce interest rates which would be disastrous
for the economy, he has activated state militias and sent them to L.A., Washington
D.C. Chicago and Memphis without being requested to do so by the mayors of
those cities nor the governors of those states!
On the international scene, Trump bombed Iran
merely on the say so of Israel a pariah nation engaging in genocide, ethnic
cleansing and blatant hostility towards its neighbor states. He is bombing
Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia and engaging in piracy in international waters and he
ordered the invasion and kidnapping of the duly elected president of Venezuela
and his wife. Trump threatens to take Greenland by force and suggests the US
annex Canada! He imposes unilateral indiscriminate tariffs on countries around
the world and failed to keep his promise to broker peace in Ukraine. International companies and corporations are
not flocking to the US to build factories because it is far cheaper to operate
oversees using slave labor and face fewer regulations that cut into their
massive profits.
In the New Year Trump is threatening to bomb
Iran, he is engaging in economic warfare against Cuba and he must know his
actions against Venezuela is a provocation against China who is that nation’s
main trading partner! Trumps he is a law unto himself! These are not the
actions of a sane, thoughtful person. His
behavior has even caused a split in his MAGA base. Trump is a narcissist; his arrogance,
bluster and bombast would be clownish and comical if they didn’t portend dire
consequences for the US and the world.
His actions are further dividing
the nation and causing angst among US allies. In short Trump has become an
agent of chaos and discombobulation, many of his actions are not just arbitrary
and reckless they are unconstitutional. Keep in mind this was the first year of
his second term, we have to endure three more years of this madness, if his
insanity doesn’t blow up in his and our faces like Wiley E. Coyote.

The US Empire Strikes Again
The US Empire Strikes Again
Junious Ricardo Stanton
The revelry
had barely subsided and the confetti was still not fully cleaned and removed when
Donald J. “I’m the peace candidate” Trump fulfilled his threat to take out the
leader of Venezuela Nicholos Maduro and his wife. The US Empire struck again.
Trump ran in 2024 promising no new wars, a foreign policy based upon mutual
respect and beneficial trade among nations has demonstrated again to the world
his word means nothing!
On January
3 US military forces which had already attacked numerous small vessels alleging
with no evidence or proof they were smuggling drugs, diverted tankers containing
Venezuelan oil which is an act of piracy, also targeted Venezuelan military
installations and air defense systems partnering with the US CIA moved in and
kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation and his wife, then transporting
them to the US for “trial”.
The evil Empire
strikes again. Prior to kidnapping Maduro, Trump ordered the bombing of sites
in Nigeria claiming he did it to protect white Christians who were under attack
from Islamic terrorists when in fact Jihadists have been attacking Black and White
Christians and fellow Muslims in Northern Nigeria.
Keep in mind, the US is also
bombing Somalia and aiding the Saudis in their ongoing conflict with Ansur
Allah aka The Houthis in Yemen! Trump is becoming even more bellicose and
bombastic threatening Putin because he will not stop his military campaign to
rid Ukraine of Nazi elements who were emboldened by the US instigated coup d’état
in Ukraine in 2014.
Based upon
these occurrences and Trump’s unfailing support of Israel in its genocidal campaign
against the people of Gaza, Israel’s ongoing attacks against their neighbors in
Syria, Lebanon and the West Bank; it is crystal clear 2026 is not going to usher
in an era of peace and stability.
Trump acerbates tensions and
uncertainty with his wishy washy on, off, on-again threats of universal tariffs
and his arbitrary and capricious travel ban against countries he doesn’t like, who
resist or refuse to bow to his wishes.
Trump
recently bragged that he took several cognitive tests, claiming he passed them with
flying colors yet his behavior demonstrates an obviously illogical, inconsistent
and reckless mindset which call into question his mental state! His words and actions
are not those of a stable-minded, deliberate, thoughtful person. His actions
are however, consistent with the behavior of an American Empire, callous,
reckless, imperialists motives are designed to maintain and or extend its’
hegemony around the world.
The problem
is Trump’s actions are putting peace and global stability at severe risk. In
other words, his behavior while consistent with an imperialistic neocolonial empire
are putting the world on notice the US empire is moving in an aggressive
direction whose actions could trigger hostilities, conflicts and quagmires the
US may not be able to extricate itself from.
The US empire
is in decline; due to its moral rot and its fiscal recklessness. It is the last
bastion of Western imperialism and there are formidable forces moving to
counter its influence and hegemony. The Global South nations and some Asian
countries are requesting membership and joining the BRICS + alliance; or
forming alliances of their own to assure and insure stable trade and commerce relations.
Soon these alliances will begin to establish military and security partnerships
among themselves. It’s only natural to do so when they see the American Empire so out of control!
You don’t
have to be a prognosticator to see Trump’s actions are placing the world in a
precarious position. The sad part is the MAGAites, his Evangelical zealots base
and the warmongers fail to see the short- and long-term implications of his
actions. Buckle up, 2026 is going to be bumpy.

Live in and Enjoy the Now
Live In and Enjoy the Now
Junious Ricardo Stanton
As we
prepare to enter a new year, let’s not forget the notion of time is a man-made construct,
the idea of time is something humans made up to serve as a reference point, as
a way to align ourselves with natural phenomenon like lunar and solar cycles,
the “movement” of the stars or the annual Nile flooding for example. Time
really doesn’t exist it is something humans made up.
Calendars are man-made inventions
also; there is the Gregorian calendar the Julian calendar, the calendars of
ancient civilizations like the Nile Valley dwellers, the Aztecs and Mayans.
These calendars and methods to tracking time were created to serve the needs of
the people who created them! There are
cultural devices to benefit their creators.
Since time is a human construct we
must realize there is no magic or mystical divide between December 31st
and January 1st. We have become conditioned to believe there is. Sadly,
all too often this concept which was created for to benefit the people, has
becomes a tool for our undoing. For example, we spend an inordinate amount of
thought and energy focusing or worrying either about the past or the future. Sometimes
we alternate between them both, so much we squander a golden opportunity to
make the most of the here and now, the present.
The past is done and gone; the
future is yet to come. For real for real, the present is all we have. The
present, the here and now, should be our immediate focal point. Unfortunately, we
are spending inordinate amounts of thought and energy focusing on everything
but the here and now/present. I am not suggesting the past is unimportant, it
is. The past serves as lessons teachable moments we can use to benefit from
either other people’s experiences or our own. The past is vital because it is the progenitor
of our present.
For me, life is a school, a continuous
learning opportunity. In the school of life sometimes we are the student other
times we are the teacher and often we are both the student and teacher simultaneously!
We use the past as a teachable moment to learn lessons, gain wisdom and use
these lessons to improve our lives. Remembering and recollecting are good; but
it is not good to live in the past or to use past experiences to stifle our energy,
discourage our ambitions or level of performance.
The future is not here, it does not
exist yet; however, we impact our future by the thoughts we think, by our
emotions, our attitudes meaning the habitual thinking and emotional patterns we’ve
formed and hold and by our actions and inactions. The past and present are
precursors to our future. The law of consequences is always in effect. We reap
what we sow. We sow with our thoughts, words, deeds and our energy. If we want
to reap good results we have to sow good thoughts, words, deeds and energy.
I say this to encourage us to live
in the present, to be mindful of our thoughts, feelings and the type of energy
or vibrations we are omitting. We also have to be aware of what is going on
around us, conscious of the beauty and opportunities right here and now and be
willing to take full advantage of them. Being mindful means being conscious of
the present, focusing on the here and now, not spending most of our mental and
emotional energy looking backwards except as a brief means to acquire wisdom
and information. Nor should we worry or fret about the future which is yet to
come.
People make New Year’s resolutions,
but all too often we fail to keep or manifest them. There are numerous reasons for this: ignorance
of how powerful we really are and how to use what we have; a lack of: confidence,
focus, discipline, specificity and adequate planning etc. Resolutions are good
thing but we have to know how to manifest them.
I believe in the power of our minds, our
imagination, the power of visualization. We can use these to enhance our present,
our here and now which will eventually impact our future. Within us resides the
power and ability to change our lives, forge meaningful and purposeful lives. We
are powerful beings. The world is what we say it is for us, so let’s use our
powers to live fully in the now, to imagine our best selves, our best lives now.
This will ultimately carry over into the future. Happy New Year, enjoy every
day of this trip around the sun.

Peace On Earth Good Will Towards Men
Peace On Earth, Good Will Towards Men
Junious Ricardo Stanton
The din of
materialism, consumerism, commercialism, war, partisan divisiveness and
ideological animus is drowning out the quintessential message of this
season. This is the time of the Winter
Solstice, the Christ Mass, the Karast, of the Anointed One, the Messiah. These are
ancient ideas about the solar sun and allegories about spiritually evolved
personalities born around this time in antiquity; idealized persons who have
sparked the human imagination about the possibilities of a higher human
potential. These ancient personalities have for the most part been erased, suppressed,
perverted, coopted and distorted by modern men in their quest for power and
authority.
December
twenty fifth is the date Christians say Yeshua Bar Joseph the person Europeans
renamed Jesus was born. December twenty-first is the Winter solstice when
ancient star gazers mapped the heavens and noticed the days appeared shorter
and around the twenty-fifth the sun seemed to get stronger and the days started
getting longer, they called it the birth of the Sun.
Many ancient people celebrated this time of
the year and also created Gods and heroes they said were born around this time
of the year. Names like: Heru of ancient Egypt, Bel of Babylon, Prometheus of
Greece, Mithra of Persia and Krishna of India. In the case of the birth of Yeshua,
it is said his nativity was announced by an angel who encouraged Shepards
tending their flock not to be afraid for he had great news to share with them.
According to the Gospel of Luke the angel
spoke and immediately there arouse a heavenly host saying, “Glory to GOD in the
highest and on earth PEACE, good will towards men.”
Somehow
over the years we have disregarded that crucial message and the myths and
messages of the ancients about divine personages and heroes who came to this
realm to enlighten, guide and teach us about a better way to live, be and
navigate the world. In this modern era we have been conditioned to replace awe
and hope with pessimism, materialism, commercialism, commodification and greed.
In the world today war takes precedence over peace, animus, division and
predation are promoted instead of kindness, brotherhood and unity, greed
isolation and disconnection over sharing, community and social integration.
The
question is, are we better off now, are our lives fuller, do we have meaning purpose
and fulfillment in our lives today? Most would, if we are honest, have to say
no. We’d have to admit there is more anxiety, dread, depression, fear and a
sense of disconnection not just to other people but to the whole of nature.
Today unlike our indigenous
ancestors we ignore the unseen energies and powers all around us and we focus
absent mindedly on things gizmos and gadgets that wear out and provide no
significant substance for our lives. But
the good news is we don’t have to go out like this; we don’t have to passively
allow the powers who shouldn’t be to manipulate us and dupe us into becoming ignorant
unfeeling shells of ourselves!
During this holiday season let us
remember the great message and reality that THE CREATOR speaks to us all
through dreams, intuition and “angels”. The message is of universal love, peace
on earth good will towards all.
The warmongers and charlatans don’t
want us to hear the still small voice or acknowledge the dreams, visions and
messages from THE HIGHEST, but they are real and it is here for us now. Take
time to meditate on the significance of the seasonal message, “Glory to THE
CREATOR in the highest and on earth, peace good will towards all” and see what
a significant difference it makes in your life and environment.

You Can't Make This Stuff Up
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
Junious Ricardo Stanton
The Trump administration has
announced it is appropriating twelve billion dollars to provide aid to the US
agricultural industry as a means to offset their loss of foreign sales. While
this is good news to US agribusiness it obfuscates the real reasons they are
suffering, Trump’s bonehead tariffs and trade policies.
Trump imposed unilateral and
universal tariffs on numerous countries around the world to Make America
Great Again, to restore American manufacturing and generate investment in
America. Sounds great and well-intended, the problem is that is not the main
purpose of tariffs. Tariffs are a form of protectionism a nation uses to fend
off foreign competition or predation to protect its own markets and economic
infrastructure. The problem is the US
doesn’t have any manufacturing industries to protect; the economic shot callers
and corporate policy makers in cahoots with the government, offshored
manufacturing and deindustrialized America decades ago! The US has no steel
industry to speak of yet Trump imposes tariffs on foreign steel.
Trump’s currency and trade wars
which his tariffs are an integral component are not good for the American
economy. His demands the central bank lower interest rates is not a solution to
inflation; it will devalue the US dollar even more and disincentivize savings
cut interest rates on pensions and retirement accounts! His tariffs are raising
money but they are also raising the costs of the goods being imported into the
country, a double whammy on ordinary Americans.
Back to the bail out of the
agricultural industry and I use that term rather than the word farmers because
in America today family farms, small mom and pop farms are in rapid decline,
farming for the most part is being done by huge agribusinesses. So Trump’s bone
headed trade war with China for example is hurting small farmers as well as the
giant agribusinesses.
China will not be bullied by Trump
or the West. Those days are long gone. So in order to feed their people China
like any consumer who feels disadvantaged by one provider shopped elsewhere for
their soybeans and is now buying from Brazil and Argentina. Trump’s tariff
policies have backfired like a Wylie E. Coyote Acme rocket, in September of
2025 China stopped buying US soybeans altogether! Now Trump is frantically
attempting to reconcile with China and renegotiate tariff terms. China is being polite and cordial but is
still not purchasing US goods. This is
why Trump is paying the agribusinesses and farmers twelve billion dollars, to
try to offset their huge losses.
The really sad part is this is not
the first time Trump’s policies have blown up in his face. The exact same thing
happened during his first administration his bluster and bombast irritated
China and they went to Argentina for soybeans forcing Trump to subsidize US
agribusiness for their losses and keep a key political base and constituency on
his side.
They say insanity is doing the same
things over and over again expecting different results. By this reckoning Trump
is insane! His tariffs are not resulting in manufacturing returning to the US.
The deindustrialization of America is not going to be reversed, not by Trump or
anyone else! That train left the station long ago.
Trump’s bluster and bombast should
be wearing thin by now but Trump’s groupies and the MAGAites are so gullible
they keep falling for his okey-doke.
Trump is clickbait for the media on both sides of the political divide
so they keep it coming. Plus Trump has
his own social media platform which makes the bluster and bombast even worse.
On the other hand, the alternatives
on either side of the political spectrum do not bode well for America
either. Despite the funds Trump’s
tariffs are bringing in, he is exacerbating the government’s debt, contrary to
DOGE’s bogus claims. During the first eleven months of Trump’s second term US
government debt increased 1.78 trillion dollars! Needless to say, this is
unsustainable.
Factoring in all of this, if we are
sane and that’s a big “if” given the brain fog and mental illness this nation
is experiencing; we have to conclude we are living in a Bizzaro World, the
Twilight Zone or an Orwellian nightmare where truth is falsehood, lies are held
sacrosanct, war is peace and the crew is rearranging the deck chairs on a
doomed ship of state. You can’t make this stuff up.

Paying For Our Own Enslavement
Paying For Our Own Enslavement
Junious Ricardo Stanton
During this
inflationary period, we hear many complaints about energy costs, the rising
price of electricity, food, clothing and other items. What most don’t know is
the rising costs we are being charged for electricity have nothing to do with
the number of kilowatts we ourselves use. The escalating costs are because of
the energy the AI data, collection and storage systems are using along with
water to power and cool the servers and other gizmos and gadgets within the
infrastructure being constructed to spy on us, track us, surveil, harvest data
and analyze us as part of the New World Order/Great Reset.
Why is this significant you ask? I’m glad you asked, because the AI
surveillance, data collection and storage facilities are an integral part of
the Big Brother digital gulag being constructed as we speak. This high tech
infrastructure of course is being touted as progress, modernity and we are
assured it is beneficial; but the question is, beneficial to whom?
Certainly not us. The more of these
data, monitoring and storage centers being bult and the present in operation ones
do not include the information that will be gathered, processed and stored from
satellites, an ever growing number of cameras, aerial drones or implanted internal body technology being developed to
study us, harvest data and create personal geo-fencing to restrict us within
certain geographic areas we will not be allowed to venture beyond without
special approval and permission. It will be like the slave militias and passes
during Ante Bellum slavery, only they will be digital/electronic.
Sound like
science fiction? Actually, it’s real in real time and it is being implemented
as we speak. This is the very reason our electricity bills are climbing ever
upward. These data centers, keep in mind the current ones are merely the
initial iteration of them, cost five to ten times more energy consumption than
an average office building. Keep in mind they run 24/7/365 and require massive
amounts of energy and water to keep them operating and cool! Cooling accounts
for over fifty percent of the costs! Keep in mind the cost is being passed on
to us! Most of these projects are private/corporate owned entities, not
government projects. The government is merely a junior partner in all of this.
These costs
are not initial startup costs either; they will be an ongoing feature and will
rise annually as more and more facilities come online. This system will be a ubiquitous
an all-seeing eye/ear with a biometric tracking and identification
network/Matrix! Think about this, the cost will increase exponentially yearly. It
must, as more and more data, processing and storage facilities come online and
the technology expands to include global satellites, drones, more omnipresent
cameras, biometric data and storage which already exist plus those that will expand
precipitously. The Utilities and Silicon Valley type organizations are
expanding power gridlines and substations to support the data and collection
centers, not to improve consumer intensive services where we live. Meanwhile
the costs are being passed on to be borne by us, not them!
For example, in 2024 an
analysis by a group calling themselves The Union of Concerned Scientists
stated there were $4.3 billion in energy cost increases in 2024 for just seven
states: Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West
Virginia. https://blog.ucs.org/mike-jacobs/data-centers-are-already-increasing-your-energy-bills/.
Extrapolate this into a national and global system and you can plainly see how
we are being played!
It's already in operation which is
why our energy and water bills are increasing. It’s just going to get more
expensive as time goes on. This is not
about your own personal energy use; we are being used to foot the bills for the
very systems which are designed to put us in open air digital gulags; Big
Brother on steroids!
We are being bled to pay for a system designed
to usher in the New World Order! How’s that for arrogance and
guile? Were you notified about any of
this? How many of you saw this on a local or statewide election referendum ballot
and voted to approve this? Not many, I’m sure. The fact is, very few people are
even aware why their energy and water rates are going up.
The ruling elites and overlords want to keep
us in the dark about what they are doing until the infrastructure is fully completed;
although they tell us this is progress and it’s for our good. Don’t fall for
their okey-doke, this is about techno-tyranny. The globalist overlords tricking
us into paying for our own imprisonment.
