The Hidden Costs of War

The Hidden Costs of War

“Recent news articles have reported that nearly 216,000 veterans diagnosed with PTSD – post-traumatic stress disorder – receive benefits from the Veterans Administration (VA). Most of these veterans are from the Vietnam period, and many, including myself, were granted their disability ratings only during the last decade. Since 1999, the VA's PTSD benefit payments have jumped 150 percent, from $1.7 to $4.3 billion annually. Clearly, since the disorder's recognition in 1980 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), PTSD – with its long, silent history under other names, from soldier's heart to combat neurosis – has finally become a cost of war to be reckoned with.” Michael Uhl The Politics of PTSD www.anti-war.com 03-29-06

AmeriKKKan Aryan culture glorifies war and violence. The mass media is saturated with gratuitous depictions of varying types and degrees of fury and immoral behavior passed off as entertainment. On one level it is entertainment for people of a lower baser consciousness. On anther deeper level it is mind control/manipulation, values dissemination, socialization and psychological warfare to prepare the public to be on a permanent war footing. The United States has been on a permanent war footing since the end of WWII. Dwight Eisenhower a military general and president warned the AmeriKKKan people in his farewell address to the nation to beware of the undue influence on the body politic of the military industrial complex on the AmeriKKKan way of life. Alas his words went unheeded as the US ratcheted up for it’s “Cold War” (expansion of the military and promotion of militarism, creation of weapons of mass destruction, formulation of foreign policies that press for imperialist military interventions and confrontation against, at that time global communism). Immediately following WWII AmeriKKKa became embroiled in a war in Korea and experienced its first “defeat”. It went down hill from there. Communism was the great bogeyman which allowed the ruling elites to demonize anyone they didn’t approve of by calling them a communist. The ruling elites and their flunkies had a field day painting anyone who dissented or opposed the status quo including peace advocates, labor leaders, civil rights proponents, environmentalists and reformers as “communist subversives”. The warmongers need demons and enemies to justify the humongous expenditures for weapon systems that don’t work, for more and more military personnel and to rationalize their predatory and imperialist foreign policies that have now crystalized AmeriKKKa into the premier rogue state on the planet. The new demon is fanatical Islamic terrorism, the latest reason for perpetual war is called"The GLobal War on Terrorism". Sounds impressive, but in the long run its just as bogus as the war on drugs, the war on poverty or the war on communism.
While the military/industrial/technology/financial complex is raking in huge amounts of money from budgetary expenditures and high ranking generals and admirals get jetted around the world in private and US military planes, stay in swank country club like living quarters during R&R, the rank and file GI Joe and Jane are catching pure D Hell. Bu$h and Co. rushed to war against a defeated, essentially defenseless nation and in their arrogance failed to properly equip the active duty troops and reservists against a backlash against their invasion and occupation by the Iraqi populous. To make matter worse the civilian and military leadership lied to them about their mission setting them up for major battlefield and mission trauma by forcing them to kill innocent men, women and children. To show you just how callous the ruling elites are when it come to treating the men and women they have used as cannon fodder, it took years for the Veterans Administration to even admit or address GI health claims for Agent Orange or post traumatic stress disorder of Vietnam era vets! The same insensibility and insensitivity was exhibited following the first Gulf War when hundreds of returning GI came down with an assortment of illnesses and conditions they lumped together in what is called Gulf War Syndrome. In their final report a presidential advisory committee looking into Gulf War veterans claims they suffered from Gulf War Syndrome essentially said, there was no such thing! “The Committee has examined exposure and, independently, expected health effects for ten Gulf War risk factors: pesticides, CW agents, BW agents, vaccines, PB, infectious disease, DU, oil-well fire smoke, petroleum products, and psychological and physiological stress. In our evaluation, we used the substantial amount of relevant scientific information available in published peer reviewed literature, interviews with experts, invited testimony, public comment, and discussions with scientific experts in academic and government agencies. For most of the risk factors evaluated, the Committee has determined-even in the absence of exposure data-they are unlikely to be associated with the health problems currently reported by Gulf War veterans. Based on its review, the Committee makes the following findings and recommendations. Although some veterans clearly have service-connected illnesses, current scientific evidence does not support a causal link between the symptoms and illnesses reported today by Gulf War veterans and exposures while in the Gulf region to the following environmental risk factors assessed by the Committee: pesticides, chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, vaccines, pyridostigmine bromide, infectious diseases, depleted uranium, oil-well fires and smoke, and petroleum products. Some of these risk factors explain specific, diagnosed illness in a few Gulf War veterans, for example, leishmaniasis has been diagnosed in 32 individuals. Prudence requires further investigation of some areas of uncertainty, such as the long-term effects of low-level exposure to chemical warfare agents and the synergistic effects of exposure to pyridostigmine bromide and other risk factors. A number of Gulf War risk factors-e.g., mustard agent, aflatoxin, and certain petroleum products-are potential human carcinogens that could cause increased rates of cancer beginning decades after exposure. Stress is known to affect the brain, immune system, cardiovascular system, and various hormonal responses. Stress manifests in diverse ways, and is likely to be an important contributing factor to the broad range of physiological and psychological illnesses currently being reported by Gulf War veterans.” Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans Illnesses Final Report December. 1996.
What is going to happen to the poor souls sent to Afghanistan and Iraq who have experienced situations where they were forced to wipe out whole villages and towns killing innocent civilians? Who knows what types of psychic damage is being done to them as they are forced to follow orders to destroy towns based on a mission of fabrications and falsehoods! The desertion rate for Iraq War participants is high as is the suicide rate. But despite all this and the gloomy assessment of the saner military brass, for the Bu$h cabal the beat goes on, more killing more destruction more lies. Not only is the war itself costing AmeriKKKa its economic solvency, but the human cost of the war is becoming an increasing burden. In an article entitled The Politics of PTSD a Vietnam vet laments the conditions of people like himself, “Most veterans I know who are rated with PTSD, including myself, will tell you that after living with this condition, often for decades, their symptoms never go away, but that with self-vigilance, proper care, and the support of loved ones and friends, their symptoms can be managed and kept at bay. Given this well-documented collective experience, the most troubling aspect of the VA-mandated Institute of Medicine's PTSD review is not just the hidden assumption that something is wrong with the existing PTSD science or benefit-adjudication criteria, but the introduction within the policy debate of an expectation that combat trauma can be prevented. Concepts like 'survivability' and 'resilience' offer hope of coping mechanisms to returning veterans who undergo disturbing changes of behavior because of their wartime experiences. The idea that an individual's response to trauma in warfare can be 'prevented' prior to or immediately following the traumatic event seems suspiciously convenient for those who would bend science to a conservative vision of social policy. Ironically, in this scenario, support for the troops in the field does not translate into support for veterans at home.” http://www.antiwar.com/orig/uhl And this was a Vietnam era vet. What additional changes are the military and VA putting more recent survivors of AmeriKKKa’s imperialistic foreign wars through? How many more lives are being ruined due to young people being brainwashed, duped and sent out as cannon fodder so Lockheed Martin, GE and Haliburton can make a few more billions on perpetual wars drummed up by sociopaths and megalomaniacs and dutifully carried out by career warmongers? The costs of war far exceed the costs of the latest weaponry, ordnance, technology and soldiers' rations. The Karmic debts AmeriKKKa is amassing are becoming overburdening. The only way these spiritual debts can be absolved and reconciled is for good people to say an emphatic no to war! The real peace dividend will not be just the money we will save once we turn from this permanent war footing, the real peace dividend will be no more fatalities, no more mutilated, wounded and traumatized humans (soldiers and support personnel) coming home to end up being kicked to the curb by the same government that sent them off to illegal wars in the first place.

Lies Define AmeriKKKan Culture

Lies Define AmeriKKKan Culture

“Almost any debate about the problems facing the United States and its faltering government centers on truth - or the lack of it. Truth is an unneeded commodity in the political system that defines the American government. Even worse, truth may be a lost cause in American society. Pollsters often ask Americans if they tell the truth. Assuming they are telling the truth in their answers (and that's a big assumption), Americans admit lying as a natural course of life. More than half admit lying on employment applications as well as cheating on their income taxes... Our culture is built around spin, hype and make-believe. We too quickly buy into fantasy because it allows us to avoid the harshness of reality. As a teenager I lied all the time to young girls in an attempt to get them into the back seat of my 1957 Ford and out of their clothes. During service to my country, Uncle Sam taught me to lie about who I was, where I was going and what I did in the name of truth, justice and the American Way. Even my family didn't know the truth.” Doug Thompson Capital Hill Blue 03-24-06

Things must be really bad anytime a well respected journalist who is fighting to expose the cancers of corruption, malfeasance and treachery rapidly destroying the psycho-social fabric of this nation openly admits AmeriKKKa maintains itself on deceit and lies. I have long marveled that folks don’t seem to grasp the reality and implications that whole industries in AmeriKKKa are based on lies, prevarications, misrepresentations, propaganda and perverse fantasy: European history, advertising, entertainment, sales, so called news and even religion. Why are we surprised George W Bu$h lies, so did Clinton, they all do. Western culture unlike aboriginal first world human social organization is based on misrepresentation, lies and a dog eat dog predatory value system. So called primitive societies are built on trust, reciprocity, mutual assistance, obligation and support. The group is the paramount entity and the person sees him or herself in relation to his or her position within the group. In fact the high civilization created by our ancient African ancestors along the Nile Valley which spread throughout Asia was based upon an extremely high moral and ethical standard which placed truth, trust and adherence to that standard at the forefront of group dynamics and human relations.

Unlike the warmongering cannibalistic barbarians from the Steeps of Eurasia, whose modern day descendants we call white people or Europeans, the Africans and Africoid people of the Southern latitudes in the Afro-Asian world based their cultures on a more communal, nurturing and supportive way of life that respected and incorporated both the male and feminine element as complimentary interactions and relations. They fashioned their social organization based on tried and true values that were thousands of years old that encouraged justice and a social etiquette based on mutual respect, assistance and fairness. Long before there were major urban centers and a centralized government along the Nile Valley, the communities organized themselves in autonomous communities with their own leaders priests and officials as they spread out from the East African interior following the Nile River as it made its way North and throughout the rest of the continent and beyond. The roots of Ma’at (Divine Order, Harmony Equilibrium, Truth, Justice, Rectitude, Peace and Reciprocity) came out of this developing social organization created by the early Africans who transmitted it to their later descendants who settled further down the Nile in numerous locations. The ancient Africans, unlike the Johnny come lately Eurasians were deeply spiritual people who intuitively reckoned the CREATIVE ENERGY/INTELLIGENCE that undergirded the universe was imminent and intertwined within all creation including humanity. These Africans postulated that the CREATIVE ENERGY/INTELLIGENCE and its subsequent forces and energies called forth creation via speech. As created beings who possessed the divine spark of the CREATIVE ENERGY/INTELLIGENCE and the ability to speak, in their minds’, humans who could speak and utter speech had divine potential. Hence they created an empowerment (education) system designed to instruct students how to attain divine status here on Earth. These wise Africans postulated and later articulated the importance of what our beloved ancestor Jacob H Carruthers teaches us is Medew Nefer (Good Speech). Good speech to our African ancestors was far more than mere speechifying babbling or talking stuff. “Good speech, however was the domain of humanity. Individuals could choose between Good Speech and not-good speech as in mdw dw (evil speech) pronounced medew djew and tftf (idle chatter), pronounced teftef. Only Medew Nefer was in accord with Medew Netcher. In fact, it is through consistent practice f Medew Nefer that human beings finally attained Medew Netcher, Divine Speech.” Jacob H Carruthers MDW NTR Divine Speech A Historiographical Reflection of African Deep Thought From the Time of Pharaohs To The Present page 40. Medew Nefer meant speaking truth consistently, one who did so was recognized by his peers as a person of integrity in this world and by the DIVINE ENERGY/INTELLIGENCE in the next world as Maa Kheru (true voice) . Keep in mind this tradition was originally promoted within the early human African communities as a practical grass roots cultural value and lifestyle rather than one imposed from the top down or through physical coercion.

Contrast this cultural value with those of the West particularly in AmeriKKKa where lying has become a high art and is promoted at every turn and on every level. As Doug Thompson laments in his Capital Hill Blue Column dated 03-24-6, “A society built on deceit cannot heal itself by changing the political party that controls government or the occupant of the White House until it takes a long, hard look inward and realizes the problem is more widespread than just our elected leaders. Until we stop lying to ourselves and those around us we can never expect honesty in those who lead us. At this point, we don't deserve it anyway.” Alas lying and dealing in falsehoods are the AmeriKKKan way of life for most white folks and unfortunately us too as we internalize Eurocentric values and imitate our oppressors. Our Native American brethren stated it so succinctly when they said, “White man speaks with forked tongue.” Our salvation both in this dimension and the next is to return to our African roots of Ma’atian ethics: good speech, right action and righteous living. “Also key to Maatian economic ethics is communal sharing with others whether poor or not. It is again a clear case of Maat as rightness and effectiveness. For to do Maat is to create a moral culture in which individual and organizational prachas roots and reinforcement.” Maulana Karenga Towards A Sociology of Maatian Ethics: Literature and Context from Egypt Revisited Edited by Ivan Van Sertima page 361.

The Expanding AmeriKKKan Gulag

The Expanding AmeriKKKan Gulag

“Establishing Installation Civilian Inmate Labor Programs
2–1. Policy statement
a. With a few exceptions, the Army’s Civilian Inmate Labor Program is currently limited to using inmates from facilities under the control of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP). Section 4125(a), Title 18, United States Code allows the Attorney General to make available to other Federal agencies the services of Federal inmates and defines the types of services inmates can perform. The FBOP provides civilian inmate labor free of charge to the Army.
b. The Army is not interested in, nor can afford, any relationship with a corrections facility if that relationship stipulates payment for civilian inmate labor. Installation civilian inmate labor program operating costs must not exceed the cost avoidance generated from using inmate labor (see para 4–3 for a discussion of cost avoidance).
c. Guidelines in this regulation for establishing installation civilian inmate labor programs pertain to negotiating with Federal corrections facilities only. Currently, there is no overarching law that addresses establishing State and/or local civilian inmate labor programs on Department of Defense (DOD) military facilities when these programs use inmates from off–post corrections facilities.
d. However, there are 3 exceptions to using State or local civilian inmate labor from off–post corrections facilities.
(1) Section 1065, PL 103–337, allows the Army to conduct a demonstration project. This demonstration project tests the feasibility of providing prerelease employment training to nonviolent offenders in a State corrections facility. The demonstration project is limited to 3 Army installations. The 3 Army installations participating in the demonstration
project may use inmates from an off–post State corrections facility.”- Army Regulation 210-35 Installations Civilian Inmate Labor Program Headquarters Department of the Army Washington, DC 14 January 2005 UNCLASSIFIED

The United States Army actually has a regulation calling for the establishment of a civilian inmate labor program and civilian prison camps on US Army bases. That’s right, slave labor done by US prisoners This program harkens back to the old convict leasing, chain gang, free labor model employed in the US extensively immediately following the US Civil War. Following Reconstruction, the re-established ruling elites of the Southern states created laws that in effect restored slavery in the US. These laws coupled with the virulent racism that pervaded the nation set the stage for the courts to lock up and lease out countless Africans to plantations and corporations for free or in some cases for a monetary kickback to the Sheriff or Judge. Business as usual in AmeriKKKa, justice compromised for sale to the highest bidder.
Most folks don’t know that the US Constitution actually still permits slavery. The Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution says, “Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” This is real, double check it yourself In this missive I will share with you dear reader portions of the US Army’s regulations specifically US Army Regulation 210-35. The Army will allow “non-violent” prisoners from federal prisons to work for the US Army free of charge. US Army regulation 210-35 is available on the Internet write it in on your browser download it and read it for yourself. In the meantime US Army Regulation also calls for “pilot programs” that will allow civilian prisoners from state and local prisons to be used for free labor. For example US Army Regulation 210-35 actually contains this wording: Chapter 1
Introduction
1–1. Purpose
This regulation provides Army policy and guidance for establishing civilian inmate labor programs and civilian prison
camps on Army installations. Sources of civilian inmate labor are limited to on– and off–post Federal corrections
facilities, State and/or local corrections facilities operating from on–post prison camps pursuant to leases under Section
2667, Title 10, United States Code (10 USC 2667), and off–post State corrections facilities participating in the
demonstration project authorized under Section 1065, Public Law (PL) 103–337. Otherwise, State and/or local inmate
labor from off–post corrections facilities is currently excluded from this program.
Of course after this program is up and running, you can bet your bottom dollar the “pilot programs” that include state and local prisoners will be expanded to include any and all state and local prisoners. Couple this with the fact Haliburton’s subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root was recently awarded a $385 million dollar contract to construct “emergency immigration detention centers”. Shades of Rex 84 or the old King Alfred Plan whereby the US government actually planned to man and operate numerous detention centers probably on the order of the internment camps that housed Japanese-Americans during WWII. Any questions about who will be housed in these new “emergency detention centers”? With Arab and Muslim xenophobia on the rise and Bu$h and Co. worrying about their crashing opinion poll ratings, dissent and opposition to their imperialist war agenda, is it too far fetched to conclude these detention centers are being built to house AmeriKKKans? Remember COINTELPRO and Operation Chaos during the 1970's and the US government’s police state campaign to squash the anti-war, Black Power, organized labor, Indian and Chicano rights movements? Bu$h and Co are far more fascist, psychopathic and imperialist than Nixon ever was; so what do you think they plan to do with these interment camps? Not only do they plan to lock up more people and classify them as Federal prisoners, they plan obviously to exploit the free labor of these new prisoners Keep an eye on this because given present incarceration rates and policies black people will be swept up, stuffed into these new centers and mandated to work for free. They did it from the 1800's up until the mid twentieth century. Africans in AmeriKKKa experienced and suffered the bulk of this prison slavery. Is there any doubt this scenario will replicate itself in the not too distant future?

Mind Manipulation

Mind Manipulation

“As for hidden mind manipulation being hooey, that is exactly what big advertisers, major media, politicians, religious leaders and the U.S. government want you to believe. The more you believe that, the longer and more successfully the can secretly influence your purchasing and political decisions. ‘We hear very little about the subject these days,’ leading brain researcher Dr. Barbara Brown admits. But that is not because there is nothing to talk about. On the contrary: There is too much. ‘One always suspects government intervention when techniques to abuse mankind are suddenly banished from discussion. In any event, for some 20 years now there has been a steadfast denial of this extraordinary phenomenon by the experts.’ You may think you know what you know -- but thinking so may be dangerous to your mental health. As Dick Sutphen says, ‘In the entire history of man, no one has ever been brainwashed and realized or believed that he had been brainwashed.’ That's the terrifying part of brainwashing: Once it has happened to you, you will never know it.” Is Someone Doing Devious Things With Your Mind? by Robert McGarvey http://www.totse.com/en/conspiracy/mind_control/mindscan.html

Until recently I didn’t watch that much television. But about six months ago we purchased a new large screen television replacing the twenty- five inch screen we had for almost thirty years. Now I watch a little more but I’m still critical of the content and images shown. Why? Because they don’t call it the boob tube for nothing. This culture uses the mass media mainly the electronic media, radio, cable, television, motion pictures and the Internet to program and indoctrinate us, to manipulate our thinking our world view and reality. They are so thorough and efficient most of us don’t even realize we are being programmed and brainwashed. In effect the mass media are the gatekeepers of the matrix or what the Hindus call maya, illusion. Most of what we think is real may not be. As far as our government goes, for decades they have engaged in campaigns to hoodwink, befuddle, obfuscate and deceive us. For over fifty years the US CIA has been actively involved in an ongoing program to infiltrate, manipulate and totally control the media. The program called Operation Mockingbird started off with the fledgling CIA using their Ivy League upper class connections to persuade CBS, the Washington Post and other influential media to allow them to channel stories and information through them. Later they actually had journalists, anchors and editors on their payrolls. Now it is fashionable for whole networks to be cheerleaders and stenographers for the ruling elite and their minions. Judith Miller and Robert Woodward are two prime examples that come to mind but there are countless others. How else do we explain white folks allowing the government to trample long cherished “freedoms” and procedural rights in the name of national security when in fact 9-11 the supposed cause of the shift to a police state was on one level or another a government operation?! They used the emotional shock and trauma of 9-11, the pictures of the twin towers on fire, imploding just like the controlled demolition it was to program us for fear, vengeance and war. It’s an old trick the US government has been using since day one. If you look at all the major wars the US has fought including the so called “Indian wars” the wars were a result of an attack or the threat of an attack real or imagined on US personnel, ships or citizens. Never mind that the resulting wars, Mexican American Spanish American, WWI, WWII and Vietnam also had imperialist or geopolitical agendas attached that the AmeriKKKan people were not made aware of at the time war was declared.

The media is, as Robert McGarvey said in his Internet article, doing devious things with your mind. “Particularly chilling research is reported by Dr. Barbara Brown, who says that things as simple as the sounds of heartbeats can radically alter our reactions to pictures and ideas. In one experiment cited by Brown, scientists tricked subjects into believing they were hearing their own heartbeats while viewing photographs. They weren't. The heartbeats were prerecorded, yet as subjects heard faster heartbeats they automatically gave high ratings to the observed photos. Lower heart rates yielded poorer ratings. Theoretical as that research is, the impact is very powerful. Increase the rate of fake heartbeat sounds, and audience excitement will bolt upwards. Lower it, and audience enthusiasm drops. It is as elementary as that. The dimension this adds to political messages, advertising, and so on, is alarming. ‘This begins to have frightening implications,’ admits Brown. ‘It seems quite possible that certain types of propaganda or techniques of persuasion will take advantage of this.’ Commonly employed not only in revivalist/fundamentalist gatherings but in many public meetings and throughout the media, the six-to-seven cycle vibrations as well as the fake heartbeat can be used to hide specific information or commands. In fact, subliminal information -- ‘subliminations’ as it's called by professionals -- is a primary weapon in the electronic battle for your brain and your free will.” http://www.totse.com/en/conspiracy/mind_control/mindscan.html Programmers, producers and advertisers use sophisticated techniques of imaging, sound, light and music to entrap us emotionally so we are identify with their products as something that is pleasurable like the scantily clad women in the beer commercials or the black music videos or something that is to be avoided such as the old “ring around the collar” or “bad breath”. We are being programmed and dummied down to the lowest and basest levels. This media induced maya is phenomenal. It is so effective we don’t even realize we are being preyed upon, played and brainwashed. Researchers are always working at finding new ways to stimulate and manipulate us to do their bidding. McGarvey reveals newer forms of electronic sensory manipulation, “Again, this propels us into a murky area of research, but what science knows about brain physiology is that it consists of two hemispheres. The left half is logical and factual; the right half is creative and intuitive. Unmanipulated, all of us bounce back and forth between right- and left- brain states of consciousness. Some of us are more lopsided in orientation than others. Very little else is known at this point except this: THE RIGHT-BRAIN IS FAR LESS CRITICAL IN ITS ASSESSMENT OF NEW INFORMATION. And that opens up a giant opportunity for manipulators. If the left-brain can be numbed, the right-brain just may accept whatever is presented. Guess what? That television in your living room...and the one in your bedroom...and even the tiny one in your car all have the ability to rapidly thrust you into a right-brain stat. That's because TV, while appearing to be a static medium, is actually composted of millions of flickering lights that can easily put a large percentage of the audience into a low-grade hypnotic state. Once in that state, they are far more receptive to suggestions and, possibly, commands. Says Dick Sutphen: ‘Recent tests by researcher Dr. Herbert Krugman showed that while viewers were watching TV, right-brain activity outnumbered left-brain activity by a ratio of two to one.’ A second series of experiments, by psycho physiologist Thomas Mulholland of the Veterans Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts, uncovered still more eerie findings. Mulholland wired TV-watching children to an EEG. Whenever brain-wave activity indicated the kids had entered a low-grade hypnotic trance, the TV automatically shut off. Since the shows were ones the kids wanted to watch, they were motivated to remain fully conscious. They could not. Virtually all the TVs flicked off within 30 seconds, which underlines how powerfully television propels viewers into semiconsciousness.” http://www.totse.com/en/conspiracy/mind_control/mindscan.html

The semi trance and trance states from television watching explain why our society is so lethargic, dummied down and passive. We are literally being programmed into a comatose, non critical state. Advertisers, psychopaths and fascists are using ancient techniques of group ritualistic music/ sound and light induced trance to create a society of zombies. Whereas in ancient times and in traditional West Africa cultures the drums and dancing were used as mediums to re-enforce the collective values of the village or tribe, but here we are being manipulated to buy, consume and acquiesce to someone else’s values, world view and reality (maya). What can we do to protect ourselves? We can limit the amount of programming we ingest, turn off the TV, the radio and limit the number of Trojan Horses (media) we allow into our homes and cars. Be more conscious and critical of the media we and our families consume. Practice keeping your mental guard up, remain alert and discriminating; use your conscious mind to critique and filter what goes into your subconscious mind!!! Be more skeptical and think for yourself. Remember just because they are out to get you and manipulate your mind doesn’t mean you are paranoid.

History Is A Continuum That Impacts The Present

History Is A Continuum That Impacts The Present

“The retrograde and pillaging migration of the phenotypic and cultural European and Asiatic ‘races’ began at that precise point in the paleoclimatic history that the upper latitudes of Eurasia entered a prolonged cooling at 4500 bp (before the present). The transition from the warmer and wetter climate of the late Holocene (current interglacial period) to the cooler and drier climates of the late Holocene occurred between 3500-4500 bp. This late Holocene cooling is sometimes called the Neoglaciation. This retrograde migration of the Indo-European toward the southern latitudes was literally an invasion with calamitous and historic consequences. The expansion of the Indo-Europeans (the Aryans) between 4,500 bp and 3,500 led to the penetration, conquest and domination of Turkmenia, Pakistan, Iran and the Indus Valley. Other invasions led to the occupation of Greece, Italy and Central Europe. It is likely that the actual numbers of conquering nomads was small with wide ranging initial genetic impact. Given the political hegemony of the nomads, their eventual genetic impact was substantial. This disproportionate genetic impact was consistent with the rape and pillage associated with the Aryan and his descendants throughout history, into ‘modern’ times.” Kwame Agyei and Akua Nson Akoto The Sankofa Movement ReAfrikanization and the Reality of War pages 89-90

Human beings are creatures of habit both on personal and collective levels. Habits are defined as repetitive ideation, attitudes, responses and behaviors done so often they become unconsciously automatic. On the individual level these attitudes and behaviors are called habits. On the group level they are called mores, folkways, traditions and on the wider societal level they are called culture. If we want to discern what a person, group or society are really about all we have to do is observe their behaviors. It is always what one does rather than what one says that distinguishes one’s core values and motives. For example AmeriKKKa is engaged in a global war on terrorism or that is the justification used to slaughter, maim and mutilate hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries around the world. This is not new. In fact it is part of a cultural pattern that goes back thousands of years. We have seen this same scenario played out numerous times during the last several decades when the US military industrial technology hydra unleashed massive ordnance death and destruction under bogus justifications such as “fighting world communism”, “protect US lives and key sites and facilities in Panama” “protecting thousands of innocent people in Kosova from a mounting military offensive.” to “disarming Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction”. Most of these were just idle words used to rationalize what Europeans do and have been doing for thousands of years, invade, pillage plunder and expropriate other people’s land, natural resources and wealth In that regard the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are nothing more than a continuum of a cultural and behavioral pattern that started in the Steppes of the Caucasus and radiated outward throughout the known world. The only place on Earth Europeans have not gone and pillaged and plundered is Antarctica and that is because it is frozen solid and no humans reside there
There are few whites willing to confront their warmongering and bloodlust culture. One is Michael Parenti. Examining the US’ role in the war in Kosova Parenti said, “In 1999, the U.S. national security state -- which has been involved throughout the world in subversion, sabotage, terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, and death squads -- launched round-the-clock aerial attacks against Yugoslavia for 78 days, dropping 20,000 tons of bombs and killing thousands of women, children, and men. All this was done out of humanitarian concern for Albanians in Kosova. Or so we were asked to believe. In the span of a few months, President Clinton bombed four countries: Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq repeatedly, and Yugoslavia massively. At the same time, the U.S. was involved in proxy wars in Angola, Mexico (Chiapas), Colombia, East Timor, and various other places. And U.S. forces are deployed on every continent and ocean, with some 300 major overseas support bases -- all in the name of peace, democracy, national security, and humanitarianism.” http://www.michaelparenti.org/yugoslavia.html This is what author Del Jones calls Hi Tech barbarism. But this is not new, the cultural roots of this savagery go back hundreds and even thousands of years. “The most recent and most massive of the waves of Indo-Europeans is that of the Western European expansion of the 15th through 19th centuries. This modern era of Aryan expansion, invasion and conquest began in the mid and late 1400's. It was motivated by a population explosion in Europe following a recovery from the Bubonic plague that killed three out of every ten Europeans, approximately 24 million... This early invasion and conquest by the Indo-Europeans overwhelmed or destroyed civilizations established by the primal Afrikan Anatomically Modern Humans. Both expansions are related expressions of the same historical phenomenon. This latest expansion (15th to 19th centuries) has been by far the most devastating in terms of genocide, hybridization, cultural, and political-economic imperialism and ecological destruction.” Kwame Agyei and Akua Nson Akoto The Sankofa Movement ReAfrikanization and the Reality of War page 91. “The Indo-Europeans were in continual conflict not only with the people whose lands they invaded but between themselves as well. The pattern that surfaces in each area in which they make an appearance is that of a group of aggressive warriors, accompanied by a priestly caste of high standing, who initially invaded, conquered and then ruled the indigenous population of each land they entered.” Merlin Stone When God Was A Woman page 64. So it seems the Aryan, Indo-European, whites whatever you choose to call them are getting worse with each successive generation Their patterns have gone from merely invading, plundering and conquering people like their ancestors did during ancient times to initiating massive social disruption, destruction, murder and ecological devastation
When we listen to the saber rattling of Bu$h and Co. about Iran and we see the hubris, perversion and psychopathic bloodlust that has been unleashed against the innocent people of Iraq all for a lie, we can connect the dots and say this is par for the course. It is not just about oil, US dollar hegemony or Israel, it is really about Indo-Europeans (Aryans) being and doing what they have done for thousands of years. Their warmongering and bloodlust are merely expressing themselves as they have done for thousands of years The fact there are thousands of supposedly enlightened peace loving whites who give lip service to opposing the imperial overreach of Bu$h and Co. has not stopped the killing and carnage. The same thing happened two hundred years ago when the US government moved to aggressively exterminate the indigenous people of this land, most white AmeriKKKans stood by and allowed it to happen. Given that and given the fact for years whites went along with such obvious psychopathic behavioral patterns as lynching and the brutalization of Africans in AmeriKKKa for fun and sport and to keep us in “our place”, why are we so shocked at how the US government allowed Africans in AmeriKKKa to suffer during and after Hurricane Katrina? Why are we shocked by the excessiveness of “shock and awe” when we saw the same thing occur during the Kosova and Vietnam Wars? It is a pattern, a habit, part and parcel of a cultural paradigm of Europeans. The good news is that aboriginal first world people are still the majority of the world’s population and despite aggressive depopulation programs like Global 2000,( “Investigations by EIR have uncovered a planning apparatus operating outside the control of the White House whose sole purpose is to reduce the world's population by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease and any other means necessary. This apparatus, which includes various levels of the government is determining U.S. foreign policy. In every political hotspot -- El Salvador, the so-called arc of crisis in the Persian Gulf, Latin America, Southeast Asia and in Africa- the goal of U.S. foreign policy is population reduction. The targeting agency for the operation is the National Security Council's Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy. Its policy-planning group is in the U.S.State Department's Office of Population Affairs, established in 1975 by Henry Kissinger. This group drafted the Carter administration's Global 2000 document, which calls for global population reduction, and the same apparatus is conducting the civil war in El Salvador as a conscious depopulation project.” http://educate-yourself.org/nwo/nwopopcnsaglobal2000report10mar81.shtml ) we are waking up and realizing who our enemies are and what they are up to. That is why they are working so hard to dummy us down, keep us distracted and addicted to fads and drugs so we will not unite, organize, galvanize and mobilize to save ourselves. For all their cunning, we are waking up, we just have to remind people to look at the past behavioral patterns of Europeans if we want to ascertain their current and future behavior. History is indeed a continuum that greatly impacts the present and future.

History Is A Continuum That Impacts The Present

History Is A Continuum That Impacts The Present

“The retrograde and pillaging migration of the phenotypic and cultural European and Asiatic ‘races’ began at that precise point in the paleoclimatic history that the upper latitudes of Eurasia entered a prolonged cooling at 4500 bp (before the present). The transition from the warmer and wetter climate of the late Holocene (current interglacial period) to the cooler and drier climates of the late Holocene occurred between 3500-4500 bp. This late Holocene cooling is sometimes called the Neoglaciation. This retrograde migration of the Indo-European toward the southern latitudes was literally an invasion with calamitous and historic consequences. The expansion of the Indo-Europeans (the Ryans) between 4,500 bp and 3,500 led to the penetration, conquest and domination of Turkmenia, Pakistan, Iran and the Indus Valley. Other invasions led to the occupation of Greece, Italy and Central Europe. It is likely that the actual numbers of conquering nomads was small with wide ranging initial genetic impact. Given the political hegemony of the nomads, their eventual genetic impact was substantial. This disproportionate genetic impact was consistent with the rape and pillage associated with the Aryan and his descendants throughout history, into ‘modern’ times.” Kwame Agyei and Akua Nson Akoto The Sankofa Movement ReAfrikanization and the Reality of War pages 89-90

Human beings are creatures of habit both on personal and collective levels. Habits are defined as repetitive ideation, attitudes, responses and behaviors done so often they become unconsciously automatic. On the individual level these attitudes and behaviors are called habits. On the group level they are called mores, folkways, traditions and on the wider societal level they are called culture. If we want to discern what a person, group or society are really about all we have to do is observe their behaviors. It is always what one does rather than what one says that distinguishes one’s core values and motives. For example AmeriKKKa is engaged in a global war on terrorism or that is the justification used to slaughter, maim and mutilate hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries around the world. This is not new. In fact it is part of a cultural pattern that goes back thousands of years. We have seen this same scenario played out numerous times during the last several decades when the US military industrial technology hydra unleashed massive ordnance death and destruction under bogus justifications such as “fighting world communism”, “protect US lives and key sites and facilities in Panama” “protecting thousands of innocent people in Kosovo from a mounting military offensive.” to “disarming Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction”. Most of these were just idle words used to rationalize what Europeans do and have been doing for thousands of years, invade, pillage plunder and expropriate other people’s land, natural resources and wealth! In that regard the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are nothing more than a continuum of a cultural and behavioral pattern that started in the Steppes of the Caucasus and radiated outward throughout the known world. The only place on Earth Europeans have not gone and pillaged and plundered is Antarctica and that is only because it is frozen solid and no humans reside there!
There are few whites willing to confront their warmongering and bloodlust culture. One is Michael Parenti. Examining the war in Kosova he said, “In 1999, the U.S. national security state -- which has been involved throughout the world in subversion, sabotage, terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, and death squads -- launched round-the-clock aerial attacks against Yugoslavia for 78 days, dropping 20,000 tons of bombs and killing thousands of women, children, and men. All this was done out of humanitarian concern for Albanians in Kosovo. Or so we were asked to believe. In the span of a few months, President Clinton bombed four countries: Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq repeatedly, and Yugoslavia massively. At the same time, the U.S. was involved in proxy wars in Angola, Mexico (Chiapas), Colombia, East Timor, and various other places. And U.S. forces are deployed on every continent and ocean, with some 300 major overseas support bases -- all in the name of peace, democracy, national security, and humanitarianism.” http://www.michaelparenti.org/yugoslavia.html This is what author Del Jones calls Hi Tech barbarism. But this is not new, the cultural roots of this savagery go back hundreds and even thousands of years. “The most recent and most massive of the waves of Indo-Europeans is that of the Western European expansion of hte 15th through 19th centuries. This modern era of Aryan expansion, invasion and conquest began in the mid and late 1400's. It was motivated by a population explosion in Europe following a recovery from the Bubonic plague that killed three out of every ten Europeans, approximately 24 million... This early invasion and conquest by the Indo-Europeans overwhelmed or destroyed civilizations established by the primal Afrikan Anatomically Modern Humans. Both expansions are related expressions of the same historical phenomenon. This latest expansion (15th to 19th centuries) has been by far the most devastating in terms of genocide, hybridization, cultural, and political-economic imperialism and ecological destruction.” Kwame Agyei and Akua Nson Akoto The Sankofa Movement ReAfrikanization and the Reality of War page 91. “The Indo-Europeans were in continual conflict not only with the people whose lands they invaded but between themselves as well. The pattern that surfaces in each area in which they make an appearance is that of a group of aggressive warriors, accompanied by a priestly caste of high standing, who initially invaded, conquered and then ruled the indigenous population of each land they entered.” Merlin Stone When God Was A Woman page 64. So it seems the Aryan, Indo-European, whites whatever you choose to call them are getting worse with each successive generation! Their patterns have deteriorated from merely invading, plundering and conquering like their ancestors did during ancient times to now massive social disruption, devastation, murder and ecological destruction!
When we listen to the sabre rattling of Bu$h and Co. against Iran and we see the hubris, perversion and psychopathic bloodlust that has been unleashed against innocent people of Iraq for a lie, we can connect the dots and say this is par for the course. It is not just about oil, US dollar hegemony or Israel, it is really about Indo-Europeans (Aryans) being and doing what they have done for thousands of years only more so. Their warmongering and bloodlust are merely expressing themselves as they have done for thousands of years! The fact there are thousands of supposedly enlightened whites who give lip service to opposing the imperial overreach of Bu$h and Co. has not stopped the killing and carnage.

Menticide

Menticide

“Clearly it has been the evil political genius of the West, since the beginnings of European imperialism, to concentrate it efforts on the cultural therefore ideological destruction of the people it conquered . The instances of European military control in which its victims continued to deny European cultural superiority are not imperialist successes. Here Europeans have not been able to truly impose and expand themselves. It is for this reason Vietnam is the most bitter failure of European imperialism to date. An yet a people who have been ideologically conquered rarely require the threat of arms to be kept in control... It is the nature of the European behavior toward the cultural other to enact cultural violence against her in the attempt to destroy her spiritual as well and material culture. E.D. Morel say that the destructive effects of the‘scientifically applied’ evils of western exploitation are permanent.” Marimba Ani Yurugu An African Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior pages 428-429

The Europeans are at it again, attempting to shock and awe a people using their vast superiority of advanced weaponry and their gleeful willingness to use them to brow beat and conquer them so they can undermine their way of life, establish cultural hegemony over them to expropriate their lands, wealth and resources. The NeoCons are rattling their sabers at Iran in preparation for what many feel is a deja vu pre-emptive attack on a nation that poses no threat or danger to the United States or the world. Like Iraq, the Iranian leadership is being demonized, vilified and castigated before the world by the European propaganda and mind control apparatus. It is a familiar pattern going on now for over five hundred years. The psychopathic covetous Europeans ( those there and their AmeriKKKan kinsmen) will employ an avalanche of words to confuse, befuddle and trick the masses the ruling elites will use as canon fodder into going along with their latest invasion, war and crusade for oil, geo-strategic position and Euro-AmeriKKKan- Israeli imperialism. The fascists of both AmeriKKKan political parties in a classic display of imperial overreach (insanity) are chomping at the bit to attack Iran now, Syria later and perhaps in due course North Korea and Venezuela. The psychotic ruling elites and their government and media puppets actually think their attack on Iran will be so effective and demoralizing, there will be no military repercussions or blowback!? If their planning for the invasion and occupation of Iraq are any indication, the Europeans are in for an even ruder awakening and the disillusionment of their notions of imperialism in Iran. They are either so insane, so out of touch with reality or so arrogant they actually fail to see the cataclysmic consequences their quagmire in Iraq, their growing troubles in Afghanistan and their plans to nuke or execute air strikes against Iran will have both at home and globally. The whites (Anglo-AmeriKKKans and Israelis) are so arrogant they are counting on the rest of the world being so bamboozled by their propaganda and petrified of their weapons of mass destruction they will be able to engage in perpetual wars with impunity. What they have not counted on is to power of a made up mind.
Martyred African liberation fighter Steven Biko once said, “the mst potent weapon in the arsenal of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”. By that he meant in order for an oppressor to win, they must effectively destroy the victim’s will to resist, undermine their sense of self and their collective confidence in their struggle against the invaders/colonizers. George Santayana once said, “those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to relive them.” The Anglo-American, Israeli cabal is obviously too arrogant to believe they will succumb to the lessons of imperialist overreach and over-extension. The British discovered that in 1776 when they underestimated the rebels in their thirteen North American colonies and their long wars with the French and their skirmishes with other European imperialists and indigenous peoples left them too stretched and cash strapped to wage a guerilla war in North America. The US should have learned their lesson in Vietnam, when they failed dismally in their efforts to break the will of the Vietnamese people and lost their imperialist war in Southeast Asia despite having an overwhelming superiority in weaponry and ordnance. This confluence of arrogance, hubris and failure to learn the lessons of history may be the spark that ignites the implosion that destroys the AmeriKKKan empire.
What if anything does this have to do with us? First of all we will suffer greatly as the great beast comes even more insane and rabid. The bogus War on Terror, while enriching a handful of elites will bankrupt AmeriKKKa. A protracted military conflict in the Persian Gulf will severely undermine the psyche of the AmeriKKKan people, they are already weary of the war in Iraq. They are too used to vicarious victories ala Rambo and other militarist propaganda. The real deal is too taxing for them. They know Bu$h lied about WMD and most see the invasion/occupation of Iraq as a massive waste of men and money. If the Bu$hites plan another 9-11 scenario to frighten the populous into going along with expanded wars, martial law and a totalitarian police state, it could very well have the opposite effect. People may realize the Bu$hites presided over 9-11, the Katrina catastrophe/debacle and they made a mess of all of them! It may even make more people suspicious and skeptical to the point they wake up and realize 9-11 was really an inside job! Once that happens it’s all over for the proponents of the New World Order. I t will mean the people know the government is their real enemy! They will no longer believe anything the government says and may even actively attempt to prosecute them as the war criminals they are. Condition in the US will worsen economically. AmeriKKKa is broke now the only things keeping it afloat are: massive borrowing from foreign banks, the profits from their global drug trafficking and the threat of military intervention, which by now given the quagmire in Iraq is starting to become less of a threat. Africans in AmeriKKKA will have to organize and pool our resources so we can survive. We cannot afford to wait for a doomsday scenario to hit. If Katrina taught us anything, it is that we cannot depend on the government for our survival. Now is the time! We must come out of the propaganda induced mental matrix and see things as they have been and are. We must know our enemies and accept the fact they are indeed our enemies.
The next step is to begin to organize on a myriad of levels. We must organize for security in our neighborhoods to protect ourselves against predators because when the economy goes belly up things will get rough. We have to organize against the fascist police state and to find ways to feed, cloth and shelter ourselves. Now is the time to reach out start discussions and begin the arduous process of trusting each other and organizing. Not to take action and/or do nothing to save ourselves now, is a sure sign of menticide, it is a symptom that our enemies have truly driven us crazy and destroyed our minds!

The Rich Get Richer As Homelessness Abounds

The Rich Get Richer While The Poor Increase

“Last year, the United States found 727,304 homeless people nationwide, meaning about one in every 400 Americans were without a home, according to the Human Rights Record of the United States in 2005 issued by the Information Office of China's State Council Thursday.
The figures came from The USA Today published on Oct. 12, 2005. ‘The Los Angeles County has become 'the homeless capital of America,' with the average number of vagabonds or people in shelters hitting 90,000 a day, including 35,000 people chronically homeless,’ the report quotes an article of The Los Angeles Times on June 16, 2005 as saying. ‘The United States dubs the world's richest country, however, it maintains the highest poverty rate among developed countries,’ the report says, given a study of eight advanced countries by London School of Economics in 2005, which found that the United States had the worst social inequality. On the one hand, the report says, in recent years the fortunes of the rich have continued to rise in the United States. According to two new studies by Spectrem Group, a Chicago-based wealth-research firm, and the Boston Consulting Group, millionaire households (excluding the value of primary residences) in the United States controlled more than 11 trillion in assets in 2004, up more than 8 percent from 2003.” http://english.people.com.

The mainstream media better known as the AmeriKKKan corporate mind control and propaganda apparatus has better things to do than tell the truth, provide meaningful analysis of current events, pertinent economic trends or challenge the status quo. No, their objective is to serve as stenographers and cheerleaders for the NeoCon agenda and for the most part obfuscate the dismal failures and wholesale treason of the Bu$h administration. You'll have to go to the foreign press or the much maligned (by the mainstream media) Blogsphere to find out what’s really going on in AmeriKKKa and around the world. In the March 10th edition of the People’s Daily Online, there is a short story pointing out the increasing numbers of people in AmeriKKKa who are homeless and who are living in poverty in the supposedly the richest nation on the planet. While it is unrealistic to think any society can totally abolish poverty altogether and it is even more naive to think a society like AmeriKKKa which was built upon a predatory system such as capitalism would adopt the moral imperative to reduce poverty, it is disheartening to see poverty on the rise as a deliberate consequence of policies of the ruling elite’s corporate and governmental hydra. The reason more and more folks are slipping into homelessness is due to a myriad of factors: loss of manufacturing jobs, outsourcing of jobs overseas, stagnant wages, resistance to increasing the minimum wage, increasing interest rates, inflation, changes in the bankruptcy laws and uncontrolled consumerism leading to mounting personal debt. The domestic media is not reporting this because they have played a major role in creating the rabid consumerism that is swamping families in debt as Madison Avenue, Hollywood and the pop culture promotes spend spend buy, buy and fads ad nauseam. We have become a nation of sheep, lobotomized Pavlovian spenders obsessed with the bling, the superficial and glitter while eschewing anything of substance or meaning. It is interesting that this year’s Super Bowl a gargantuan circus and pre-packaged hype and distraction was held in Detroit one of the poorest cities in the nation that is plagued with a rising homeless population. The media and NFL took a “let them eat cake” mentality to the residents of Detriot and moved on with their annual bacchanalian shindig totally oblivious to the poverty, suffering and depravation in the city. In fact the media went out of its way not to focus on the poverty and homelessness in Detroit not wanting to conjure up more images of the real AmeriKKKa like those that were splattered on people’s consciousness during Hurricane Katrina.
The last thing the AmeriKKKan corporate media or their ruling elite owners wants is for Joe and Jane Sixpack to see what is really happening and to begin to connect the dots about how and perhaps why their standard of living is ebbing away. They might get up in arms about why it is becoming more expensive to send their children to college, or they might start asking why the CEOs of failing corporations like Ford and GM are making millions of dollars while working class folks are being forced to take massive pay cuts and give back hard fought benefits while their government is selling them out by bankrupting the country through illegal wars abroad and class warfare at home. It would take a foreign online paper to report, “Meanwhile, the income of ordinary employees in the United States has seen a sharp decline, causing the increase of poor population. The data issued by the U.S. Census Bureau said that the nation's official poverty rate rose from 12.5 percent in 2003 to 12.7 percent in 2004, with the number of people in poverty rising by 1.1 million from 35.9 million to 37 million, which means one in every eight Americans live in poverty. Poverty rates in cities such as Detroit, Miami and Newark exceeded 28 percent. These problems indicate that poverty, hunger and homelessness are quite serious in America, worker's economic, social and cultural rights are not guaranteed, the report says.” People’s Daily Online 03-10-06 http://english.people.com.cn
To its credit the latest edition of the AARP Bulletin contains an article entitled The Big Freeze Vanishing Pensions 5 Ways to Save Yours letting folks know that the trend is for more and more profitable companies to freeze or discontinue to their defined benefit pension programs and put the onus on the worker to get their own savings or retirement plans which for the most part will be tied to Wall Street and a volatile stock market. Most working class folks know very little about investing and even if he did, insider trading and fraud are the norm these days so there is no guarantee of a good return on one’s investment. Working class folks can’t turn to organized labor because the fascists in both political parties have waged war on organized labor since the Republican Reagan administration decertified the Air Traffic Controllers Union in the ‘80's and the Democrats have forsaken organized labor except when they need them around election time! Congress has sold the AmeriKKKan worker out with all the international trade agreements that send AmeriKKKan jobs overseas in exchange for foreign goods which exacerbate the trade imbalance further undermining the domestic economy and status of more and more AmeriKKKan working folks.
We are witnessing the reduction of AmeriKKKa to status of a third world nation status with an aging population facing increasing inflation, joblessness, stagnant wages and a citizenry t overwhelmed with debt, eroding safety net and support. The increase in homelessness should be seen as a harbinger for coming events, events that will not be pretty, events that will impact an increasing number of AmeriKKKans on one level or another. The rich will get richer while the poor will get poorer. And the ruling elites are preparing for continued class warfare by building emergency detention centers in case the poor get antsy and start demanding changes the ruling elites are not willing to make. The coming police state repression coupled with the decline in our standard of living will not be pretty.

The Beast

The Beast

“To call a person a “beast” is simply to say, according to the English language: Nouns-violent person, berserk or berserker, demon, fiend, shaitan, sheitan or Satan, or dragon, evil spirit, Satanas, devil, diable, Iblis, azezel, abaddon, apollyon, the prince of the devils, the prince of darkness, the prince of this world... Adjectives- satanic, devilish, diabolic, heel-born, demonic, savage, brute, fierce, vicious,, untamed, tameless, ungentle, barbarous, , unmitigated, unsoftened, ungovernable, uncontrollable... The above in the explanation of “beast” when applied to human beings or people in general, according to Roget’s International Thesaurus. The so called American Negroes have and still suffer under such brutish treatment from the American Christian white race, who cal themselves followers of Jesus and his God. Elijah Muhammad Message To The Black Man In America page 125

When I was younger I used to hear black folks refer to whites by a variety of words: honkie, paddy boy, white boy, the man etc. but the most popular one was the “blue eyed beast” or plain “beast”. The term beast was both a singular and collective term used for whites. Somehow I always felt that connotation did a great disservice to animals As I got older, I was exposed to some of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He and his followers referred to Caucasians as “blue eyed Devils”. He explained that white people were an artificial grafted species. His cosmogony was an attempt to explain to his followers the abhorrent nature of the group that was viciously terrorizing, brutalizing and tormenting black, brown and yellow people all around the world. Later I was exposed to a group who explained the origin of Indo-Europeans, Aryans Caucasians using genetics, history, geography and observable behavior. This group, defined whites as “savages” based upon their core behaviors rather than their lack of melanin; although they explained their lack of melanin and calcified pineal glands were major factors/contributors in their psychopathic behavior. Most of us have not been exposed to the type of teachings espoused by Elijah Muhammad or by the group I was part of. Most of us were indoctrinated into Eurocentric white supremacist ideology, aesthetics, history and world view. Hence we can understand our confusion about whites despite long term group and personal histories of animus, injustice and abuse meted out on us by whites. Many of us were told whites were the penultimates in God’s creation, made a little lower than the angles. We were told whites were the progenitors of civilization and progress that we should be grateful they were abusing us and that they had snatched us out of Africa. They told us Africans had done nothing of significance in the long annuls of human existence. We internalized the images and content of the Eurocentric mass media, all of which took and still takes a devastating toll on our already wounded psyches.
Even today we are subjected to the recycled images and content of long cancelled televison programs and motion pictures in reruns on cable and satellite stations and via remakes of subliminally racist movies like King Kong. We are subjected to persistent and deliberate psychopathic rants by the tools and stooges of the ruling elites and their cultural mind control apparatuses: their religion, the mass media, their social conditioning institutions like education and Cub Scouts etc. We are bombarded with the notion white is the thing to be Today after having experienced the black power, black is beautiful, Afrocentric and anti-colonial movements we can see we are still under the psychological spell of the beast. African women throughout the continent bleach their skins in a futile and perverse effort to look more like the oppressor than themselves. African-American film and video makers still favor lighter skinned Sistahs as stars of their productions and they have embraced the mind numbing formulas of gratuitous violence, misogynous sexual exploitation so typical of a bestial mentality and culture. Unfortunately black folks, especially our children spend an inordinate amount of time consuming media in this culture. Is it any wonder we are becoming more and more depraved, more and more bestial, more and more like white folks? We’re losing our natural inclination to share, to be sympathetic, to sacrifice and support goals benefitting the collective, like the Montgomery Bus boycott of 1955. When we suggest and offer African models and paradigms of behavior our young people ignore us. I’ve heard bright young people say, “an Afrocentric paradigm is unrealistic”, they say they can’t do that and make it in corporate AmeriKKKa; in essence turning their backs on a viable option that can save their minds and their lives And these are the ones who went to school and who eschew the predatory street/drug culture. There are countless brothers and Sistahs out there slinging drugs and peddling their bodies to make money to secure the things this culture deems valuable. The more we model ourselves after the beast, the more insane and morally bankrupt we become.
We see the beast at work in Haiti, Afghanistan and Iraq and soon he may launch strikes against Iran sending the world into global economic chaos. We should not be surprised as violence, rapine and expropriation are their way of life, it is what beasts do. The question we must ask ourselves is, what are we going to do? Most African-Americans didn’t support Bu$h’s war agenda, we still don’t. But soon and very soon the fascist will unveil their police state, they will bum rush us and we will be forced to choose, which side we are on. Will you choose justice and peace or will you go with war and immorality? If you remember AmeriKKKa under COINTELPRO and Operation Chaos, the new AmeriKKKa will be even worse AmeriKKKa will resemble Nazi Germany which is natural because after WWII thousands of Nazis were brought here infused and integrated in the culture under Operation Paperclip. This is not hyperbole. It is fact and it is happening now. Open your eyes look at where AmeriKKKa has come from: genocide against the Native Americans, African slavery, torture, racial and economic caste to COINTELPRO and Iran-Contra. The beast is rabid. Look at what they are doing around the world in the name of “democracy and freedom” , if you think you can remain neutral or non-committal amidst this insanity you are mistaken.

The Real AmeriKKKa

The Real AmeriKKKa

“Every generation or so an evil arises which is so monstrous, so degrading to the human spirit, so morally bankrupt that even to debate it is a sign of moral corruption. Native American genocide, slavery, totalitarianism, and Jim Crow laws are evils so unspeakable that we cannot understand today how anyone with a shred of decency could have once supported them. Today, torture, a practice far more degrading to us than to our victims, represents such an evil.
The issue has become urgent because Bush has chosen to demand the legal right to torture anyone he wishes. When torture was revealed at Abu Ghraib, the administration - falsely and shamelessly - attempted to shift its own responsibility onto foot-soldiers like Lynndie England. Since then, however, leaks have revealed that the CIA has tortured terrorist suspects all around the world, using techniques like ‘waterboarding.’ In response, Senator John McCain proposed an amendment, attached to the 2006 Defense bill, that would ban torture.” Fred Branfman 03-04-06 http://Fountainhead.blogspot.com

Revelations about lies to start “preemptive wars” ,global and indiscriminate torture programs, leaks about Bu$h being told about the severity of Hurricane Katrina, corporate fraud and graft have stripped away the veneer and illusion (delusion?) of AmeriKKKa being a civilized nation. More and more white folks are being forced to look at AmeriKKKa through the prism of TRUTH rather than the distorted lens of distraction and deceit propagated by the corporate media mind control apparatus. These conflicted souls are now forced to see the real AmeriKKKa, the AmeriKKKa non-casino owning Native Americans see every day, the AmeriKKKa the homeless see, the AmeriKKKa that kills hope in the barrios and ghettos across the land. Never mind that the fact the real AmeriKKKa has been there for all to see for centuries. What we are seeing now is nothing more than the cyclical resurrection of Euro-AmeriKKKan savagery that goes back thousands of years to its roots in the Caucasus Mountains. The Indo-Europeans have never out grown their cultural legacy of invasion rapine, pillage and plunder that would make their Goth, Viking, Vandal, Hun, Spanish and Portugese ancestors proud! What does this mean for the rest of the world? The world sees AmeriKKKa for what it is, a rabid ravaging wolf that must be put down in order for the world to be truly safe. AmeriKKKa is has morphed into a fascist police state, the sad reality is many AmeriKKKans will go out like the Germans under Adolph Hitler, they think if they go along, don’t make any waves and do as they are told, the state will leave them alone. Alas that will not happen. AmeriKKKa has already shown a pathological propensity for repression, abuse and exploitation in the name of freedom, justice and opportunity. As recently as the 1970's and ‘80 many of the same crew that is currently in power or who weld major influence in Washington were at the helm as AmeriKKKa spied on its citizens, engaged in illegal and repressive measures to undermine the anti-war, civil rights and Black Power, Indian rights, Chicano and progressive labor movements. We hear the acronyms COINTELPRO but for the most part we are totally clueless about the depth, pervasiveness and depravity of this FBI program that was sanction by Robert Kennedy who at the time was US Attorney General and each subsequent AG whether the administration was Democrat or Republican. Under Richard M Nixon the US government went buck wild as Nixon and his minions unleashed the FBI , CIA and numerous other alphabet agencies on US citizens. Things got so out of hand Nixon was forced to resign from office under threat of impeachment and conviction.
Under George W Bu$h, AmeriKKKa has been manipulated into a fascist police state, as the government continues to pursue an unpopular no win imperialist war. To protect itself from the people it professes to protect, the Bu$h administration and its sycophantic stooges in the mass media and Congress must move to suppress the escalating domestic dissent, dissatisfaction and awareness of their criminal activities. They have taken another step that will bring about an AmeriKKKan gulag by extending the USA PATRIOT ACT and providing $385 million for Kellogg Brown and Root a subsidiary of Haliburton to construct a series of new “emergency detention centers”. Of course like any con game, the con artist lies about his/her intentions. Bu$h and Congress are saying the new centers are being built to round up illegal immigrants and aliens. Horsefeathers!! They are being constructed to implement long existing programs like the King Alfred Plan, Rex 84, Operation Chaos, Operation Garden Plot, Cable Splicer and others designed to, identify, round up and lock down dissidents, radicals and people Bu$h and Co view as threats to their fascist imperial ambitions. We are already being conditions to accept militarized bootjacks in airports, commuter stations as well as signs on highways telling us to snoop and snitch on our fellow citizens. We are being spied upon and tracked in partnership by both the government and major corporations. George Orwell’s, Animal Farm and Big Brother are here, it’s just that most AmeriKKKans have been duped hoodwinked and bamboozled into thinking we are under relentless attack by Muslim fanatics living in caves in far off Third World countries. This is utter nonsense! We are under attack by the ruling elites and their Congressional hacks, puppets and stooges. Just as J. Edgar Hoover kept files on Congressmen, administration members as well as ordinary citizens the Bu$h cabal now have Congress by the proverbial testicles, as the NSA spying was first trained on them. Now they are being whitemailed and forced to go along or their extra-marital affairs and sexual perversions be exposed. Another segment of Congress and media are already on the CIA, PAC, lobbyist payrolls so they have sold their souls long ago.
The only question remaining is: will AmeriKKKa go out like Nazi Germany and Communist Russia via immoral internal implosion or will it go out like the empires of Britain, France and Spain via over-extension, greed and hubris? Either way AmeriKKKa as it is currently constituted is doomed, justice demands this! The Law of Karma is inviolate. Ignorance of this Law is no excuse. Neither ignorance nor recalcitrance provides immunity from its retribution. The UNIVERSE is alive and animated by an INTELLIGENCE beyond the benighted consciousness of the enemies of the world. Ma’at is always at work, the UNIVERSE is moving to establish DIVINE ORDER, HARMONY, EQUILIBRIUM, TRUTH, JUSTICE, RIGHTEOUSNESS and RECIPROCITY. The ancient Asarian drama of good versus evil Asar (the righteous African king) being avenged by his son Heru who battles his evil Uncle Set to restore Ma’at is being played out on an international level right before our eyes. The evil AmeriKKKa wrought/is doing will be balanced, made right and reconciled. We have to make sure we are on the right side of this COSMIC struggle. We know the TRUTH, we must decide whose side we are on. To paraphrase George W Bu$h, you are either with us, or you are with the Terrorists (Bu$h and Co.)
