Mass Manipulation
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“Being in a state of fear allows us to be easily
manipulated. Advertisers and politicians have learned to capitalize on this
biological aspect of humans also known as the lizard
brain. Unfortunately our fast-paced lifestyles (mentally), combined with our
relatively stagnate physical activity (driving, working at computer, etc.)
causes our bodies to be ineffective at releasing built up stress which
manifests in our thoughts as fear or anxiety.” How To Release
The Stress Stored In Our Bodies - Jacob Devaney https://upliftconnect.com/release-the-stress/
What
if the media was deliberately inducing fear and panic about the COVID 19 coronavirus
as a way to manipulate the public, to keep us in a state of anxiety so we are
more easily controlled, manipulated and compliant to a predetermined social
reengineering agenda? What if the usual advertising and mind control techniques
were being ramped up by the 1% to dupe us into going along with a prearranged
agenda, an agenda designed to garner more power and authority for them at our
expense?
All
societies have some form of leadership and governance; whether it is so called
primitive stateless societies where rule is shared by the elders of the village
or tribe to supposedly sophisticated forms of government like republics where
the leaders are preselected by political parties or special interest groups
then voted on by the people. Every society has leaders formal and informal,
known and secret.
In this country we live under the illusion of
democracy. We think our elected officials do our bidding for the common good
and benefit of us all. This is not the reality of power in this country on the
national level. If you doubt what I say pay close attention to current events
then juxtapose what you see and your beliefs with the research of Professor G.
William Domhoff on his Website Who Rules
America https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu.
There
he succinctly says “As argued in Who Rules America ? the owners and top
executives of the largest corporations, banks, investment firms, and
agri-businesses come together as a corporate community. Their enormous economic
resources give them the ‘structural economic power’ that is the basis for
dominating the federal government through lobbying, campaign finance,
appointments to key government positions, and a policy-planning network made up
of foundations, think tanks, and policy-discussion groups. The CEOs and owners
in the corporate community, along with the top executives at the foundations,
think tanks, and policy-discussion groups, work together as a leadership group
that I call the power elite. However, they do fight among themselves sometimes,
leading to moderate-conservative and ultra-conservative factions in the power
elite. This class-domination theory developed out of Power Structure Research,
going back to the 1950s.” https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/power/
These powerful factions vie for domination and control of
the system and they use their media, education and religions to mold public
opinion, manufacture consent then use the government to coerce compliance to
their wishes and agenda. They craft sophisticated propaganda campaigns to get
their target audiences both small and large to go along with their programs.
Our
hero Marcus Mosiah Garvey warned us years ago about propaganda. He said,
“Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized peoples to convert others
against their will. We of the Negro race are suffering more than any toer race
in the world from propaganda-Propaganda to destroy our hopes, our ambitions and
our confidence in self.” Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey Edited by Amy
Jacques–Garvey page 15.
The
COVID 19 situation is being propagandized as a psychological weapon so we will
become fearful, anxious and compliant to an organized group’s program. Our
anxiety and fear make us more susceptible to heightened levels of internal and
external stress which in term impacts our bodies, our social surroundings and
our health.
I am
not saying the virus is a hoax I am saying it is being used to jack up fear and
panic for nefarious purposes. What purposes? I am not exactly sure at this time
other than a grab of more and more authority. But consider this, there are
almost eight billion people on this planet and seasonal flu are normal global
occurrences for many of the people on earth. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/its-in-the-data-the-common-flu-had-12-times-more-hospitalizations-than-covid-19-yet-no-media-hysteria/
One
researcher pointed out the mortality figures for COVID 19 is being blown
totally out of proportion in relation to the annual global flu figures and
mortality rates. “Finally, let’s look at figures for ordinary flu, for
the whole planet. A study published in the journal, Pharmacy and Therapeutics
states, “Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is
responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately 9% of the
world’s population is affected annually, with up to 1 billion infections, 3 to
5 million severe cases, and 300,000 to 500,000 deaths each year.” A BILLION
cases EVERY YEAR. Is this called a pandemic? Is the whole world locked down
every year? No.
Read his full report at https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/03/26/corona-the-case-number-game/
then ask yourself why would these people do this? Could it be to prime our
consciousness so we are duped or forced to take whatever vaccine is in the
wings ready to be rolled out to combat COVID 19?! Could it be another naked
power grab by the people who rule America , the people G. William
Domhoff talks about in his book, his research and on his Website? Make up your
own mind, don’t allow them to dupe and manipulate you.

Social Reengineering
Social Reengineering
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
Social reengineering:
the use of centralized planning in an attempt to manage social change and
regulate the future development and behavior of a society.
The
response to the COVID 19 pandemic is prompting the reengineering and
restructuring of the world’s social system as governments grapple with ways to
stop the spread and ostensibly keep their citizens safe. I say ostensibly or
supposedly because in many ways the “solutions” are more draconian than the
virus.
Remember how after 9-11 the ruling
class and their media told us America
would never be the same again? Remember how the Bu$h administration chose to respond
to 9-11 as if it was an act of war rather than a terrorist crime? Remember how
9-11 enabled the government to go on a global rampage of wars under the guise
of their bogus War on Terrorism? Remember how the US
invaded Afghanistan when the
Taliban had nothing to do with 9-11 and all they asked the US government
for was evidence Osama bin-Laden was the culprit? Remember how the US government
refused to give the Taliban leaders any evidence whatsoever and invaded their
country anyway?!
Do you remember the anthrax scare
right after 9-11, when deadly anthrax was sent through the US mail to select
Democrats who questioned and pushed back against some of Bu$h’s policies? Do
you remember how Bu$h invaded Iraq
based on lies? Did you know that the
USA PATRIOT ACT was written and sitting on a shelf way before 9-11 happened? Do
you remember how the media made us afraid there was a terrorist around every
corner? Do you remember the see something, say something campaign?
Do you remember a time when you
didn’t have to go through airport screening, cavity searches and baggage
checks? That was before 9-11. Do you remember when you weren’t spied on 24/7 or
treated as a potential terrorist? That was before 9-11. Do you remember the
ruling class telling us their imperialist wars would last generations? That was after 9-11. Do you remember George
W. Bu$h shouting, “you are either with us or you are with the terrorists”? Do
you remember what the ruling elites did to dissidents like talk show host Phil Donahue, the singing group
Dixie Chicks and Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney who dared to question these
policies?
All of that is social engineering.
Social engineering is not necessarily a bad thing. It is negative when the planners
are doing it to usurp authority for themselves; creating and using it turn us
into mindless automatons and compliant zombies. This is what the ruling class
is doing now, using COVID 19 as a way to reengineer society ostensibly to
protect us. I get it, it is the duty of leaders to protect their people, look
out for their best interests and safety but that has not always been the case.
We need to keep in mind, if the
ruling class was really concerned about our health, safety and welfare they
wouldn’t allow companies to produce and sell defective products, foods laced
with GMOs, and poisonous additives nor would they tolerate the fact US
pharmaceutical companies spend far more on advertising and marketing than they
do on research and development. https://www.vox.com/2015/2/11/8018691/big-pharma-research-advertising
We need to keep in mind there are people in this world so demented, callous, so
power mad and greedy the will engage in the most despicable
behaviors to get what they want. https://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/the-pathocracy-of-the-deep-state/
The current
response to the COVID 19 is social reengineering. Fear is being used to
condition us to go along with whatever the government says and demand a
solution. Yes we should quarantine infected people yes we should practice good
hygiene, get plenty of rest, eat healthy nutritious diets and use common sense,
but social isolation is not good. Human beings are social creatures. We grave
and need social interaction, engagement and contact. We need the nurturing and
feeling of intimate belonging to truly be healthy! Shutting down the daily
lives of the masses is social reengineering which may prove to be counter
productive if it is maintained over a long time. Check out https://governmentslaves.news/2020/03/24/were-living-in-12-monkeys/
for chilling perspective on this.
Another way
of dealing with this would be to resort to indigenous ways of healing using
indigenous knowledge systems to restore wellness. Traditional African people
knew healing is a social construct, that isolation is only a temporary
solution. African healing is based on the concept of Ubuntu “weness”, community, inclusion, empathy and sharing.
Traditional African healing was about restoring harmony and balance, harmony
and balance with the omnipresent spiritual realm and the ancestors. It was about
restoring harmony and balance within the family and village and harmony and
balance within the person.
Yes they used herbs and even
surgical operations but they also used rituals and ceremonies to call on the
spirits for intervention, to promote closeness, interaction the restoration of
harmony balance and healing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4651463/
There are many ways to see and address a
situation and our circumstances, perhaps we should entertain alternative
responses to COVID 19 that do not disrupt and undermine the basic human need
for social interaction.

Interesting Coincidence
Interesting Coincidence
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“Governments will need to partner with traditional and
social media companies to research and develop nimble approaches to countering
misinformation. This will require developing the ability to flood media with
fast, accurate, and consistent information. Public health authorities should
work with private employers and trusted community leaders such as faith
leaders, to promulgate factual information to employees and citizens. Trusted,
influential private-sector employers should create the capacity to readily and
reliably augment public messaging, manage rumors and misinformation, and
amplify credible information to support emergency public communications.” http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html
On October
18th, 2019 the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation and the John
Hopkins Center
for Health Security held an “exercise” in New
York City called Event
201 to simulate the spread of an extremely contagious Coronavirus pandemic
engulfing the planet. Fifteen leaders from business, government and public
health met to table top scenarios about a contagious virus that infected pigs
in Brazil ,
gets out of hand, attacks humans and rapidly spreads around the world infecting
millions. In their scenario sixty-five million people died!
I am not making it up; you can read
the report and the recommendations on the Johns Hopkins
Center for Health
Security Website http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html.
There is nothing wrong with table top exercising, proactive strategic planning
or simulations but when you factor in the fact the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
has supported some very controversial projects and initiatives such as vaccines
and sterilization and they partnered in securing a US patent for “an attenuated
coronavirus” a few years ago that raises eyebrows. I am not making this up. You
can read this for yourself here http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/just-a-coincidence-a-u-s-patent-for-an-attenuated-coronavirus-was-filed-in-2015-and-granted-in-2018
and https://www.hli.org/2019/06/how-the-gates-foundation-harmsnot-helps-human-development/
The Gates foundation has been
accused by some of promoting eugenics, racist population control. https://medium.com/@jacob.levich/bill-gates-and-the-myth-of-overpopulation-ca3b1d89680
Of course there are always two sides to
every story, I just don’t believe in coincidences. Especially when white
papers, training exercises and table top simulations precede or occur
simultaneously with the very events they are planning for, gaming and
simulating!
Did the October 18th table top
simulation about a Coronavirus epidemic like the one now being hyped by the corporate
media have anything to do with the fact the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was
granted a patent two years ago for a Coronavirus like the one popping up around
the world now? That is beyond
coincidental.
It is reminiscent to the numerous training
exercises that took place on 9-11 that prevented the normal military protocols
and responses which lead to the attacks and the totally bogus global war on
terror. It is eerily similar to the
training exercises in London that simulated a
bombing the same day an actual “terrorist bombing” occurred in the London subway system in 2005.
Kinda makes you go hmmm?
The October simulation collaboration
resulted in a report that you can read for yourself at http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/media.
It seems the ruling elites always have a plan or response to these occurrences.
Remember when 9-11 happened the government already had the PATRIOT ACT in the
wings, and this current “pandemic” raises so many questions it really makes you
wonder. Most people I speak to say this virus is man made. I can’t say for sure
whether it is or isn’t; my hunch is that it is.
Over the past few years we’ve
experienced the Influenza, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, SARS and MERS. None of them
were like the plague that killed millions during the middle ages in Europe . SARS and
MERS are variations of cornonavirus, they are respiratory ailments. However,the
reaction to this virus is way beyond what was done for those viruses and this
one is supposedly new! So it just happened that the Johns Hopkins Center for
Health Security, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic
Forum gamed exercises about a pandemic three months before this strain hit Asia,
Iran, Europe and the US; and just coincidentally Bill and Melinda Gates are
part owners of a patent for a Coronavirus? That’s deep.
I looked up the World Economic
Forum and it says it’s a Non Government Organization. Its Website says, “The
World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private
Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and
other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. The
World Economic Forum provides a platform for the world’s 1,000 leading
companies to shape a better future. As a membership organization, the Forum
engages businesses in projects and initiatives – online and offline – to address
industry, regional and systemic issues.” https://www.weforum.org/about/world-economic-forum
Shape a better future for whom? The World Economic Forum isn’t a round the way
neighborhood organization. They are a big time 1% organization.
The corporate media keeps telling
us how rapidly COVID 19 is spreading. While that may be true, keep in mind there
are about nine billion people in the world today and the number of people
suffering from COVID 19 is extremely small when you consider nine billion
people! There are three hundred million people in the US and the number of people infected by COVID 19
in the US
is actually meager when you consider three hundred million people. The actual
numbers worldwide are not reliable because we don’t know that much about it or
how many people actually have it. Why the hysteria? Why the total
lockdown? What’s that about?!
The lock down seems extreme but you
never know. Personally I think something is fishy. Time will tell.

Fear Not
Fear Not…
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
Assurance: confidence
of mind or manner: freedom from self-doubt or uncertainty
Confidence: a feeling of self-assurance arising from
one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities.
During these disquieting times it
is important to monitor our personal thoughts and emotions. Why? Because the
fact of the matter is, our thoughts and emotions directly determine our long
term psychological state and our physical health. I’m not talking about fleeting images, ideas,
thoughts and feelings; I’m talking about strongly held constantly streamed
ideation, feelings, attitudes and beliefs.
We must be in control of our
thinking and emotions because if we don’t, we become susceptible to control and
manipulation by others. For example fear is a powerful weapon the ruling class
and the powers that be have used for thousands of years to cower and manipulate
people. They fiendishly use fear and intimidation to get their way. What they
want is total control over us. They use fear, the fear of punishment,
ostracism, violence and the unknown to keep us in a constant state of anxiety,
unease and trepidation.
The modern
mass media which is owned by the 1% deliberately uses gloom and doom, blood and
guts and catastrophe to subliminally condition us to fearful, full of fear and
to look to them for our view of “reality”, solutions, relief and redress. We
don’t need them. The antidote for fear is assurance and confidence. Confidence
is defined as: a feeling of
self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or
qualities.
In perilous times we need confidence which is a sustained
attitude slightly different from bravery. Bravery is not the absence of fear;
bravery is being afraid but doing what has to be done anyway. Confidence means
we are assured we can navigate the world based upon our inner strength,
abilities, and assurance, that we have what it takes to be successful and that
we can/will get the strength and assistance we need when we need it.
I was
curious so I looked it up and the words do
not be afraid or variations of it are written three hundred and sixty
five times in the Bible. I am not a Bible thumper and for me the Bible is
not a book about religion, dogma or doctrine. It is a book that was written
mostly by men whose focus was mysticism and psychology. It is thousands of
years old, was written over several centuries yet it contains stories, myths,
parables, admonitions and lessons that are applicable to today. It is about
mysticism meaning having a relationship with the CREATOR. It is about
psychology: proper thoughts, feelings, dreams and spiritual entities. It is
about mental, emotional and behavioral being.
As the
media constantly bombards us with negative news about crime, politics, the
Coronavirus and its rapid spread, we need to remember and heed the admonition,
“Do not be afraid.” We must have confidence, self assurance that there are
powers active in the world working on our behalf. Our ancestors, THE CREATOR
and good vibrations/energy/spirits exist that we can call upon for help,
whether you call them angels, ancestors or spirits.
Do not be
afraid, let not your heart be troubled, be not dismayed, do not be faint
hearted or terrified, don’t despair, fear no evil, do not be overawed, do not
be dismayed are found numerous times throughout the Bible. Whether you are a
religious person or not, these admonitions are extremely practical and should
be the basis of your confidence because there is intelligence and power in the
universe that is greater than all our problems, troubles and circumstances.
This is the same intelligence/power that created you, that has known you from
before your birth that is on your side in all things and wants only the best
for you.
Do not
allow the media to reduce you to a feint hearted, groveling caricature of who
and what you were incarnated to be.
Yeshua bar Joseph said, “… Behold, the kingdom of god is within you.” Luke
17:21 He called his idea of god Our Father. His message of divinity, being and
empowerment is the least discussed statement of everything he said; mainly
because the powers that be don’t want us to know just how potent and awesome we
really are.
We have the divine in us and we
should rest assured we can get through and transcend this and anything else
that comes our way. The intelligence of the Divine Mind that created you lives
inside you. Our bodies know instinctively how to deal with microorganisms,
bacteria and viruses. All we have to do is get out of its way and not sabotage
the process.
This
“pandemic” will pass. Don’t allow yourself to become a victim of fear mongering
and propaganda. Get your rest, eat a more nutritious diet, flush your system
regularly, wash your hands often, and monitor your thoughts and feelings. Take
control over the one thing you have the most control over, yourself. I urge and exhort you to assert yourself
during these trying times and remember the ancient admonition, fear not!

Remembering Callie House
Remembering Callie House
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
Reparations
or the compensation for the ills and devastation of enslavement, apartheid,
racial and pigmentation oppression is a contentious topic. There is no denying
enslavement took a horrific toll on the lives, psyche and physical conditions
of people of African descent in this country. It is only natural that Black
people would seek redress for the privation and exploitation we suffered and
endured for centuries. But the oppressor is unwilling to even address the issue
and they mean to keep the issue suppressed and out of public consciousness.
One of the
first Africans in America to
call for relief and restitution for enslaved Africans was Callie Guy who was
born around 1861 into enslavement in Rutherford
County near Nashville Tennessee .
At the age of twenty-two she married William House and the couple had five
children. Mrs. House worked as a washer woman and seamstress to help support
her family after her husband died. According to some records Mrs. House did get
some school learning.
Mrs. House
was influenced by a pamphlet she read in 1891 entitled Freedmen’s Pension Bill: A Plea for American Freedmen which intrigued
her and she became hooked on the idea. She collaborated with Isaiah Dickerson
to form the National Ex-Slave Mutual
Relief, Bounty, and Pension Association in 1894. Dickerson had worked
with a white newspaper man named William Vaughn who advocated for reparations
for ex-enslaved persons. Vaughn felt reparations would stimulate the southern
economy.
But House
and Dickerson broke with Vaughn and went out on their own travelling throughout
the South advocating for pensions for formerly enslaved Blacks as a means to
support them in their current condition. House and Dickerson organized chapters
on the local level throughout the South that functioned like mutual aid
societies. A member of the local organization paid dues and the money was used
to care for the sick, disabled and burying the dead. These were perilous times
for Blacks as white violence, intimidation and oppression were becoming
systematically sanctioned throughout the nation.
On the national level the National
Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and Pension Association held conventions,
elected officers, lobbied for federal legislation in support of pensions for
formerly enslaved persons. House’s
campaign was a grass roots movement; it received little attention or support
from African-American leaders like Booker T. Washington or W.E.B. DuBois and
many whites felt threatened by the prospect of Blacks seeking payment for their
labor during a time when anti-Black feelings were being manipulated and shaped
into white supremacist legislation and behavior.
The federal government soon began
to spy on House and her movement. A disinformation campaign was waged against
her and she resigned from her position as assistant secretary of the
organization she helped start. Nevertheless House continued to organize
chapters throughout the South and spread the word. House even sued the US Treasury
Department for $68,073,388.99 in 1915 based upon the money raised from enslaved
people’s labor and cotton taxes paid in the state of Texas ! The lawsuit garnered wider attention
for the movement and raised the profile of the organization.
Of course the federal district
court of appeals threw the case out saying the government was immune against
litigation. Her filing the lawsuit did not sit well with the white power
structure especially during the Post Reconstruction era. The following year the US Post Master sought
an indicted House on charges of fraud. The Nashville District Attorney also
filed charges against Mrs. House. The trial was a total farce, the evidence was
weak, flimsy at best, no victims were named, there was no evidence offered that
Callie House personally benefited from the money she raised, yet an all white
male jury convicted Callie House of mail fraud. She was sentenced to one year
and a day in prison. She was sent to the Jefferson City Missouri Penitentiary
and released early for good behavior.
House’s grass roots organization
and pension movement served as a template for future empowerment campaigns
during an era of ruthless and virulent racism and oppression. Not surprisingly
the US Government also used kangaroo courts to undermine and derail movements
like the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Decades later the government
upped the ante with its wide ranging COINTELPO in the latter part of the
twentieth century.
Callie House made transition in
1928 but her legacy of tireless, righteous activism lives on and her torch for
reparations was picked up and carried by others like Queen Mother Moore and
NCOBRA.
