Things They Don't Want Us to Know
Things They Don’t Want Us to Know

“The Food and Drug
Administration won't have 75 years to release thousands of pages of documents
it relied on to license its COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, the federal agency will
have just over eight months to do so, per a federal judge's ruling.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/judge-scraps-75-year-timeline-for-fda-to-release-pfizer-vaccine-safety-data-giving-a
The US Food and Drug Administration is so thoroughly
compromised it is a prime example of regulatory capture. What is
regulatory capture you ask? Regulatory capture is defined as: “The
concept of Regulatory Capture (Reg Capture) typically refers to a
phenomenon that occurs when a regulatory agency that is created to act in the
public interest, instead advances the commercial or political concerns of
special interest groups that dominate an industry or sector the agency is
charged with regulating. When regulatory capture occurs, the interests of
firms or political groups are given priority or favor over the interests of the
public.” https://www.cfainstitute.org/en/advocacy/issues/regulatory-capture
The US Food and Drug
Administration is not on our side. The COVID injections are a classic example
of what is called regulatory capture within the context of a much larger
program of government corruption and malfeasance. Most people are unaware the
FDA gets a large percentage of its funding from the pharmaceutical industry. https://www.pogo.org/investigation/2016/12/fda-depends-on-industry-funding-money-comes-with-strings-attached.
This money obviously comes with strings attached. “He who pays the piper calls
the tune” is an old axiom that rings true in the case of the FDA and Big
Pharma.
The government initiated Operation Warp Speed to supposedly mitigate the spread of the
SARS-COV-2 virus in record time compared to the normal research, approval and
marketing process which often takes ten years or more! That was the prime
reason for my skepticism about the safety of the COVID injections. I feared Big
Pharma an industry that routinely break the rules, cuts corners and
demonstrates a irresponsible priority of profits over people would use the COVOD
crisis as a means to do more of the same on an increased level. The recent
history of fines and court settlements by pharmaceutical companies several of
whom are involved in COVID shot development and marketing is staggering. Yet
pharmaceutical executives rarely go to jail! https://www.citizen.org/article/twenty-seven-years-of-pharmaceutical-industry-criminal-and-civil-penalties-1991-through-2017/
When concerned scientists and researchers filed a
Freedom of Information Act with the FDA to gain access to Pfizer’s clinical
trial data regareding their COVID shots, the FDA hummed and hawed then asked
that the information be withheld for fifty-five years! https://www.uspresidentialelectionnews.com/2021/11/transparency-fda-wants-55-year-delay-to-provide-pfizer-covid-vaccine-data/
Yes that’s correct the FDA wanted to treat this
like the government treats the John F. Kennedy assassination, keep it hidden
for decades. What are they trying to hide? What is it they don’t want
scientists and researchers to know? Isn’t the FDA part of the same government
public health hydra that tells us to “follow the science”?
Fortunately federal
judge Mark Pittman refused to go for the FDA’s okey-doke and ordered the agency
to turn over the documents. “The Food and Drug
Administration won't have 75 years to release thousands of pages of documents
it relied on to license its COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, the federal agency will
have just over eight months to do so, per a federal judge's ruling. The
timeline ordered Thursday by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman radically
shortens the timeline under which the FDA has to produce troves of documents.
The order stems from a Freedom of Information Act document lawsuit by a
coalition of doctors and scientists with the nonprofit Public Health and
Medical Professionals for Transparency. The group seeks an estimated 450,000
pages of material about the vaccine-creation process during the COVID-19
pandemic, which came into full force in the United States in March 2020. Rather than producing 500 pages a month, the FDA's
proposed timeline, Pittman ordered the agency to turn over 55,000 a month. That
means all the Pfizer vaccine data should be public by the end of September
rather than the year 2097, the deadline that the FDA wanted.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/judge-scraps-75-year-timeline-for-fda-to-release-pfizer-vaccine-safety-data-giving-
The documents are being released and the public now has
access to them. They are quite revealing. They provide a peak inside the
corporate mindset of Pfizer officials. They show an alarming rate of mendacity
and falsehood on the test results. https://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2022/06/22/pfizer-classified-trial-adverse-reactions-as-not-related-to-the-shots.aspx
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4125239
Pfizer is one of the most heavily fined pharmaceutical
companies in the US. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/pfizer-fined-23-billion-illegal-marketing-off-label/story?id=
A recent study indicated the COVID shots greatly increased the likelihood of
hospitalization to the ones taking the jab than the protection from the COVID
virus itself. https://dailysceptic.org/2022/06/22/covid-vaccines-more-likely-to-put-you-in-hospital-than-keep-you-out-bmj-editors-analysis-of-pfizer-and-moderna-trial-data-fin
But now the
bought and paid for “fact checkers” in the corporate and digital media are
working overtime to debunk the clinical trial data and keep the truth from
being disseminated on a wider basis. That’s why most people don’t know about it
and there is no outrage about the corruption and the symbiotic relationship
between the FDA and Big Pharma. https://theconversation.com/why-is-the-fda-funded-in-part-by-the-companies-it-regulates-160444 This is information the fascists don’t want
us to know and they are going to great lengths to keep us ignorant about this.

Facing the Challenges of Life
Facing the Challenges of Life
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“The only people with no problems that we know of are in the
cemetery.” Junious Ricardo Stanton
Life is
such that we are faced with a myriad of situations, circumstances and
challenges every day. Problems and adversity are part of the human condition.
They are unavoidable; we all have them, have had them or will have them. The
solution is not to avoid challenges, they are part of daily living and they
serve as a means to strengthen us toughen us and make of wiser if we see them
in that light and perspective.
Some of our
problems are of our own making, they are the consequences of our thinking, our
attitudes,, our emotions and our actions good or bad. Other situations are
thrust upon us by life, by the powers that be and our social environment.
Either way at one time or another we will be faced with obstacles, challenges,
adversity and problems.
The great
Avatars, teachers, philosophers and mystics wrestled and grappled with life’s
vicissitudes and challenges. Many of today’s world religions are based upon the
teachings of those wise ones. When we examine their teachings and the ancient
folk wisdom of our ancestors we find a deep sense of optimism even in the midst
of hellacious circumstances and situations. Some of these situations lasted
days, months, years and even centuries. Nevertheless within these challenges,
amidst despair, oppression, unspeakable tragedies people found ways to cope,
thrive and transcend even the worse of times.
When
troubles come and they will, our attitude about life is crucial to how we cope
and deal with whatever we are facing. In today’s era of mass psychology and
mass media manipulation we have been conditions to adopt a hopeless helpless mentality.
We tend to exaggerate or awfulize the situation or think we are inadequate and
ill equipped to thrive in the midst of adversity. The ruling class overlords
want us to be in this mindset that is why they exert so much time, energy and
resources to program us to be infantile in our responses to life! This allows
them to exert more control over us, the more helpless and hopeless we feel the
more in control they are. They can sell us their solutions even if the solution
is more helplessness and hopelessness.
The late
great Amos Wilson said that in order for this oppressive system to exist the
vast majority of African-Americans must be kept out of our minds. “We have
stated before, that in order for us as a people to be in the situation we are
in and not be in concentration camps and not have guns pointed at our heads
throughout the day, we must be maintained in a particular state of mind. In a
sense then, we must be literally out of our minds- and we must be kept out of
our minds.” The Falsification of Afrikan
Consciousness Eurocentric History, Psychiatry and the Politics of White
Supremacy page 66.
The
socio-economic-political system we live under is designed to maximize profit
for the ruling class; whether that means enslavement, low wages, selling
tainted food and pharmaceuticals with lethal side effects, waging war all the
time all over the world or stifling our innate genius and potential.
This type of environment: an outer
driven consumer based, youth oriented hedonistic culture is not conducive to
introspection, developing viable coping skills personal enlightenment and
circumstantial transcendence. We have to take ownership of our lives and
discover how to be our best self. We are not going to learn how to do it in the
American educational system or in the mainstream corporate/digital media.
We can transcend our challenges, we
can solve our personal and collective problems, we can move from maladaptive
responses to life to enlightened self actualization and competence. We are not
helpless or hopeless. Discard self-sabotaging thinking; replace it with
self-assurance, critical thinking, meditation/introspection and an innate sense
of success.
Life has its ups and downs and bad
times don’t last always. We have proven we are resilient. We took on the most
oppressive system in the world and won, we just allowed them to dictate the
terms of their surrender, and they maintained the status quo for the most part.
We are greater than our problems,
we have the internal wherewithal to deal with our circumstances and thrive. We
have the capacity to endure horrific situations and our ancestors did so for
hundreds of years! We have the same capacities.
Problems are unavoidable they are part of life, so is the process of
solving our problems and winning.

Monkeypox, Here We Go Again
Monkeypox, Here We Go Again
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“Monkeypox
is a pox virus and is related to the variola virus, which caused smallpox. That
once dreaded disease was declared eradicated in 1980. The symptoms of monkeypox
are similar to but milder than smallpox. Infected people develop flu-like
symptoms — fever, body aches, chills — but also swollen lymph nodes. With one
to three days of the onset of fever, a distinctive rash appears, often starting
on the face. Many conditions can cause rashes, but the monkeypox rash has some
unusual features, notably the fact that vesicles can form on the palms of the
hands. In this outbreak, a number of people have reported having had lesions on
their genitals.” https://www.statnews.com/2022/05/23/europe-health-agency-warns-monkeypox-could-become-endemic/
The
latest ooga-booga from the World Health
Organization regarding the emerging Monkeypox crisis is in my view is a
replay of the AIDS and COVID scares. Monkeypox is supposed to have originated
in West and Central Africa but deeper analysis
shows a not in the wild origin but in scientific laboratories! “Monkeypox is a
viral zoonosis (a virus transmitted to humans from animals) with symptoms very
similar to those seen in the past in smallpox patients, although it is
clinically less severe. It is caused by the monkeypox virus which belongs to
the orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family. There are
two clades of monkeypox virus: the West African clade and the Congo Basin
(Central African) clade. The name monkeypox originates from the initial
discovery of the virus in monkeys in a Danish laboratory in 1958. The first
human case was identified in a child in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in
1970. Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close
contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated
materials such as bedding. The incubation period of monkeypox is usually from 6
to 13 days but can range from 5 to 21 days.” https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022
DON385#:~:text=Epidemiology%20of%20the%20disease&text=There%2
The WHO was used as the conduit
to spread massive fear and panic about SARS-COV-2 and give it a perceived
status as a global epidemic akin to the Black Plague when it was nowhere near
that lethal or dangerous. This is consistent with previous tales of diseases allegedly
originating in Africa, among primates, also in keeping with racist Western
propaganda that Africa is a continent ravaged
by disease, squalor, backwardness and substandard living conditions.
The WHO propaganda sets the tone
and tenor for global public health policy. The misery, madness and mayhem of
the past two years was the result of WHO declarations, the bogus predictions
and elevated numbers of the Gates backed agencies like the CDC, Neil Ferguson and Imperial College of London.
The WHO pushed vaccines for COVID and is pushing smallpox vaccines for
Monkeypox. “The World Health Organization (WHO), which we know is actively engaged in bioweapons research,
launched an emergency meeting in the United Kingdom to discuss the
alleged threat of monkeypox. The United Nations arm claims that ‘cases’ of the
disease are expected to ‘double’ from nine to 18, requiring intervention. Authorities
are already stockpiling more smallpox vaccines, which they say will treat
people who may have already been exposed to monkeypox. The UK government
has about 5,000 injections in its existing national stockpile and has ordered
another 20,000 as a supplement to that. According to the ‘experts,’ homosexual
and bisexual men are the number-one spreaders of monkeypox, so perhaps there
will be a ‘remedy’ released just for them to help stop the spread.” https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-22-monkeypox-scariant-unleashed-demand-vaccine-compliance.html
In addition to the lab origin literature stating exists stating
Monkeypox is spread via homosexual activity. “The monkey virus is spreading in
many countries in the US and
Europe. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), Britain's
health officials have decided to conduct raids on various ‘bars’ and ‘saunas’
to identify the spread of the virus this time. Their fear is that the infection
has spread mainly from the sex cycle of gay and bisexual men. On May 7, the
first monkey pox patient was diagnosed in London.
The man had recently returned from Nigeria. Therefore, the experts
believed that the person had somehow come into contact with the virus in Africa. But after that, experts were not sure how six
more people got infected with the disease. Britain's Health Ministry said six
of the newly infected patients were gay and bisexual men. Recently, all six of
them reported having sex with a male partner. Not only in Britain, but in Spain
and Portugal,
7 and 9 men have been infected with the virus, most of whom are reported to be
gay or bisexual men. Britain's
health protection agency has also advised gay men to be extra cautious for the
time being. ” https://zeenews.india.com/india/monkeypox-virus-does-this-spread-through-sex-6-of-newly-affected-were-gay-or-bisexual-men-2466261.ht
Wow, so here again Africans are
being blamed for a disease that is related to smallpox which was supposedly
eradicated but we are seeing is spread not from or by Africans but homosexual
Europeans! The World Health Organization is Chicken Little, the spreader of
panic and is being used to create dread and overreaction in the mass
consciousness. Remember it was the WHO that declared a SARS-COV-2 global health
emergency in January 30, 2020 when most of the recorded incidents were still in
the 1,000’s in China
at a time when there were over 7.8 billion humans on the planet! Don’t keep
falling for the WHO’s okey-doke.

Resurrection
Resurrection
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
Resurrection:
return to life, transformation, rebirth, coming back into notice,
Millions of
Christians around the world completed their celebration of Easter, the essence of the Christian ethos; the rising of Yeshua
from the dead, thereby accomplishing his earthly mission: the redemption of
humanity, victory over death and providing righteous immortality to the
believers.
On a less lofty yet practical note the word
resurrection also means: rebirth, renewal and transformation which is something
we can attain and accomplish here and now.
Transformation is not a strictly religious idea or notion although it is
at the core of most organized religions today. Unfortunately we have consigned
the notion of personal transformation to an idealistic naiveté, something one
rarely accomplishes or if they do it’s done to earn more money, gain higher
social status or some other goal such as losing weight.
All too often personal
transformation is promoted by gurus who are in it for the money as they sell
and hype their books and other media. Don’t allow hucksters and charlatans to
dissuade you from actualizing your full potential! History has shown there are
people who genuinely love humanity, who want us to grow and master the vicissitudes
and challenges of life. The world’s most popular religions are based upon the
teaching of enlightened beings like Moses, The Buddha, Yeshua bar Joseph,
Muhammad, Zoroaster, Lao Tzu, Confucius and countless others. Their message to
us is that transformation, rebirth, resurrection is possible and doable.
All of the great avatars and
teachers, those known recorded and unknown, recognized that personal
transformation takes arduous effort; there is no easy path to personal
enlightenment and self-mastery. This truth is even more evident in a society
like ours where conformity, groupthink, rigid social constraints, selfishness
and grass materialism are the norm. The rulers of this social order have
created a system whereby we are indoctrinated to fit into a mold to serve and
enrich them by being their workers, their managers, overseers and enforcers.
They tell us we are free and have equal opportunity but we really don’t because
most of the time our options are limited to what they present as possible, acceptable
and permissible even if it harms us or society.
Repentance means to change your
mind, how you think what you believe you are capable of, it means having
confidence in the latent powers within you; it is the first step in personal
transformation. Personal transformation is a form of resurrection, rising from
the uninspired thinking, moving beyond restrictions, constrictions and
stultifying limitations. Transformation means getting out of the rut, a rut is
nothing but a grave with open ends. Transformation means seeing beyond where we
are and envisioning (visualizing) something different, meaningful and better.
The idea there is something better and
greater for us can be scary, it goes against the grain; this is why most of the
teachers who promote personal transformation are viewed by the keepers of the
status quo as troublemakers, rabble rousers engaged in seditious activity. This
is why Yeshua was lynched for sedition, why Socrates was murdered for teaching
alien ideas (which he learned from our Nile Valley ancestors) or why Malcolm X,
Martin Luther King Jr. and so many others were assassinated for their divinely ordained work to free our people
mentally, socially, economically and politically.
As frightening as nonconformity,
marginalization and ostracism can be, all too often the first and sometimes
greatest opponent we face when we attempt to rise up and move beyond our
present boundaries is ourselves! We are constrained by our beliefs, fears,
doubts and habits. Our own lack of faith in ourselves and our innate powers and
potential holds us back, keeps us in bondage to dead end ideas, unenthusiastic
pursuits, lethargy and sloth which are a living death!
Rise up! There is a Divine Spark
within you, allow it to energize and transform you. Introspection, quietude,
trust and action are the keys to resurrection. Turn within; learn to
distinguish between idle mind chatter and intuition the unlearned knowledge
that while it may seem crazy is never wrong! Learn to cultivate your intuition
and have the courage of your convictions because it will always prompt you to
do things beyond your present comfort zone (habits patterns d proclivities).
Unlike a lifeless corpse, we still have the Animating Life Force working within
us. Stoke it, arouse it and allow it to transform our lives and bring us into
positive notice; have the courage to allow it to do a great work in your life!

Spin, Lies, Disinformation and Propaganda = Brainwashing
Spin, Lies, Disinformation and Propaganda = Brainwashing
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
“We see the world
through the lens of the major media-for most people that means television. Book
newspapers, magazines and the Internet play a role, but the vast majority of
people around the world get their information from television. And, if those
who own the global media conglomerates, and those who run the television
networks and cable channels decide to feed us disinformation and lies that
serve the agendas of those in control, then instead of being told the truth, we
wil learn not about the real world, but about the world they wish us to see,
one that will serve their plan for global control.” https://beyondthemediamatrix.net
Isn’t it fascinating how the monopoly
corporate and digital media narratives so seamlessly shifted from constant
COVID fear porn to all Ukrainian War 24/7/365? Is this a coincidence? What is it about Ukraine
that is more important than say the wars and conflicts going on in: Libya, Yemen,
Ethiopia, South Sudan, Myanmar, Nigeria
and Afghanistan
and other places around the world?
I call the corporate
media the mind control apparatus because it has been co-opted by conglomerates,
Big Tech, global governments and the ruling classes and deployed as a weapon to
bludgeon and condition us to believe their artificial reality. We find ourselves
in a similar situation to the 1998 motion picture The Truman Show where Truman Burbank the main character played by
Jim Carrey lived in an artificial (fake) world created and maintained by television
producers. The show followed Truman’s every move from his birth to the present
and streamed live 24/7 for the world to see. Everything in his world was
artificial; his parents (his father had been written off the show) his wife,
the town he lived in, everything was fake. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/truman-show-challenging-reality-you-accepted-todd-l-bauerle/
The film was made before the advent
of TV “reality shows” which are scripted and fabricated programs the shows’
producers in classic Orwellian doublespeak call “reality.”
Instead of
having a nefarious producer controlling our lives, we are subjected to the
whims of corporate executives, bureaucrats, marketers and master manipulators.
We are exposed to incessant messages overt and subliminal, dishonest commercials,
propaganda, lies, images and content designed to manipulate us on deeply
psychological and emotional levels. This is designed to influence our thinking
(where we are not aware our thoughts are being programmed and manipulated), our
purchasing habits (we are continuously tracked monitored and analyzed while
sophisticated algorithms are used to stimulate and manipulate what we buy) our
behavior (we imitate what we see and hear in the media) and our sense of
reality (how we see the world and how we think it operates).
Of course
the media is not the only factor shaping our psyche and how we navigate in the
world. Education better referred to as indoctrination, our parents, our peers
and our socio-cultural milieu also play a pivotal role in how we think and act.
We are conditioned to follow the herd. We are coerced and programmed to adopt a
hive mentality and groupthink conformity.
For example
we have been lied to by our government on numerous occasions to get us to go
along with their agenda, policies, wars and imperialist misadventures. We were
lied to about the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X and Martin
Luther King Jr. We were lied to about Slobodan Milosevic being
a war criminal. We were
lied to about 9-11 and Osama bin-Laden. We were lied to about Saddam
Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, we were lied to about Bashar al-Assad
gassing his own people and we are being lied to daily about the Ukraine
situation. They censor and suppress the truth!
We are
being lied to about the economy, inflation and the COVID “pandemic” a virus
that has a 98.9% survival rate if you are relatively healthy with no serious
comorbidities. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/.
The ruling oligarchs and their media deliberately misled us to hype the
hysteria and reduce our critical thinking capacities so they could promote
“vaccines” that are not vaccines in the technical or literal sense. https://www.menshealth.com/health/a35589366/mrna-vs-traditional-vaccine/
These jabs are ineffective because
coronaviruses, like the common cold and flu for example, are constantly mutating
so there is no vaccine that can ever eradicate them. The FDA, Fauci, the CDC
and most public health bureaucrats lied out of ignorance, pressure, coercion or
greed; it’s all about the money and power. In fact the inoculations are proving
dangerously problematic due to the growing numbers of adverse side effects. https://trialsitenews.com/a-first-look-at-the-newly-released-pfizer-papers-part-1-the-errors-and-anomalies-of-the-case-report-forms/,
https://justthenews.com/podcasts/sharyl-attkisson-podcast/covid-19-vaccine-common-adverse-events
When coronavirus mutate they
usually become more communicable but far less deadly and lethal which is the
real reason these new variants are not causing high death rates. The lower
fatality rate is not due to the efficacy of the injections, because the fact of
the matter is, the coronaviruses are not that lethal.
Don’t believe the government narratives
and propaganda about Ukraine
or the virus, it’s all hype and deception.

“The network behind this coup had actually started
planning for the coup back in 2011. That’s when Eric Schmidt
of Google, and Jared Cohen, also now
of Google but still continuing though unofficially as U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton’s chief person tasked to plan ‘popular movements’ to overthrow
both Yanukovych in Ukraine, and Assad in Syria.” How and Why The US Government Perpetrated the 2014
Coup In Ukraine by Eric Zuesse https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2018/06/04/how-and-why-the-u-s-government-perpetrated-the-2014-coup-in-ukraine/
The COVID-19 fear porn, the lies and disinformation
about inflation and the growing income inequality in the US and the truckers convey (the media basically ignores
them) have all been magically replaced
on the front pages and the cable news networks by “coverage” of the Russian
assault on Ukraine.
The Western spin masters/machine is cranking up their usual disinformation,
obfuscations and lies to cover the truth behind what is really going on.
The
truth is the United States
under President Barack Obama instituted a coup d’état in 2014 in Ukraine to set
up a pro-Western quisling government. To see beyond the Western propaganda
okey-doke and flim-flam please read the articles on these Websites: https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2018/06/04/how-and-why-the-u-s-government-perpetrated-the-2014-coup-in-ukraine/,

These articles offer another perspective on what is really going on in Ukraine and name
some of the key people and forces behind the happenings. For another eye
opening reality check watch the YouTube audio of a conversation between Assistant
US Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey
Pyatt talking about their plans for the coup and beyond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV9J6sxCs5k
The US government and their media sycophants lie and
demonize leaders to create antipathy towards them to justify the wars, “police actions”
and interventions the US ruling class and
its allies launch against them to toppled their governments, steal their natural
resources or for geostrategic reasons. The US government and the ruling elites’
mind control apparatus are making Vladimir Putin out to the bad guy in the
Ukraine situation just as it made Osama bin-Laden a villain (they said he
orchestrated 9-11 from a cave in Afghanistan, still no solid proof of that),
Saddam Hussein (they said he planned 9-11 and had WMDs, both lies), Muammar
al-Qaddafi (NATO bombed his country, savagely murdered him and turned Libya
into a failed state) and Bashar al-Assad (the US lied and said he gassed his
own people). Do you see a pattern here?
The US political
class and media have been demonizing Putin for years. Hillary Clinton and the Deep State
claimed Putin interfered with the 2016 presidential election. A special
prosecutor is still investigating that and several Clinton operatives were behind “Russiagate”. There
are rumors indictments will be forthcoming; I’ll believe that when it happens.
(The ruling class rarely gets indicted or goes to jail.)
In contrast
nothing was said about Mark Zuckerberg’ Facebook and Cambridge Analytica’s
actual attempts to influence the election outcome. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/20/595338116/what-did-cambridge-analytica-do-during-the-2016-election
What’s up with that?
We
don’t question what the “experts” and government officials say because their pro-war
barrage is constant; it unrelentingly repeats the same message over and over
again. If you do ask questions, dissent or offer another perspective you are
denounced as a traitor, a tin foil hat wearer, “conspiracy theorist” or crazy.
They ignore you, marginalize you or unleash the full force of their brainwashing
attack machine against you.
But
even before the next Hitler de jure is manufactured and paraded before the
public 24/7/365, we are prepped, brainwashed and programmed for war. The US loves war.
The US has been on a constant
war footing since before there was a United States of America.. This
country has been at war 93% of its total existence. There have only been only twenty-three
years when this country has not been at war during its entire existence!
If you want to know how they do
it I suggest you read Mathias Chang’s book Brainwashed
for War, Programmed to Kill: The Military Media Industrial Complex Behind The Cold
War, the Vietnam War & The War on Terrorism
What
we are being told by the corporate media and their digital platform cohorts is
not the truth about Ukraine
or much of anything else for that matter. Ukraine is not the victimized fledgling
democracy being brutalized by big bad Vladimir Putin. Ukraine has been in the crosshairs of US imperialism
for quite some time now. The US
facilitated a coup in 2014 that helped Neo-Nazis gain a foothold in the
government. https://marktaliano.net/eight-years-ago-us-nato-installed-a-neo-nazi-government-in-ukraine-by-prof-michel-chossudovsky/
Last
but not least Joe Biden and his son Hunter are neck deep in Ukraine side

“More than 300 years ago, courageous Africans escaped
from enslavement in British colonies. They fled southward on foot to Spanish St. Augustine, crossing
swamps and dense tropical forests. Along they way, they sought assistance from
Natives, thus creating the first ‘underground railroad’”. The Fort Mose Story https://fortmose.org/about-fort-mose/
Most people think the path to
freedom for enslaved Africans in the British colonies and the US ran from the
South to the North along the fabled “Underground Railroad”, but that is not the
case. Blacks escaped via a Southern route to Florida and a few fled into the Mid-Western
territories.
Spain had a different approach to
slavery. Slavery existed in Spain
but in Spain
slaves who were mostly prisoners of war had rights they could own property and
they could sue in court. As a strategic move King Charles II of Spain ordered
the Florida colony to provide free haven to enslaved people from the British
colonies. “In 1693, King Charles II of Spain
ordered his Florida colonists to give runaway
slaves from British colonies freedom and protection if they converted to
Catholicism and agreed to serve Spain.
The fugitive slaves from South
Carolina who made it to Spanish Florida could expect
to gain more control over their own lives, even as Spanish slaves. Between the
late 17th and the mid-18th centuries, an unknown number of slaves from South Carolina successfully escaped to Florida. Spanish records note at least six
separate groups of slaves who escaped from South Carolina
to St. Augustine
between 1688 and 1725. This policy of refuge encouraged fugitive slaves to flee
to Spanish Florida with the hope of a better life if they made it to a Spanish
outpost, and it gave the Spanish a weapon to use against the British. Spain’s policy
toward runaways took laborers from the British colony and boosted
its own colonial population to oppose the British.” Fort

The first actual Black settlement
in Spanish Florida was Fort Mose
it was founded in 1687. The Spanish who were bitter rivals of England France
and the Dutch offered freedom to escaping enslaved people with the condition
they pledge loyalty to the Spanish crown and convert to Catholicism. Most of
the Africans who fled left South Carolina
heading South to Florida.
Escaped males had to serve in the Spanish militia. The hardy souls who made the
trek had to traverse swamps and thick forests to make their way to St Augustine. Many did
not survive the journey. The first to arrive was a small band that included
only eight men two women and an infant child.
The escapees were a welcome
addition because they provided skilled labor and men to man the fortified
settlements. “The Spanish were glad to have skilled laborers, and
the freedmen were also welcome additions to St. Augustine’s weak military forces. In 1738
the Spanish governor established the runaways in their own fortified town,
Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, about two miles north of St. Augustine, Florida.
Mose (pronounced “Moh- say”) became the first legally sanctioned free Black
town in the present-day United
States, and it is a critically important
site for Black American history. Mose provides important evidence that Black
American colonial history was much more than slavery and oppression. The men
and women of Mose won their liberty through great daring and effort and made
important contributions to Florida’s
multi-ethic heritage.” Fort Mose
America’s Black
Fortress of Freedom https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/histarch/research/st-augustine/fort-mose/
A fortified town was established
and the Black men who arrived served in the militia defending the fort. “By
1738, more than 100 freedom seekers had achieved asylum. In that year, a
fortified town named Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose was constructed on St. Augustine’s
northernmost border. Fort Mose became the site of the first free black
community in what is now the United
States.
A formerly enslaved African led the
free black militia of Fort
Mose. His name was
Captain Francisco Menéndez. For years, the warriors valiantly protected St. Augustine. However,
when Spain ceded all of La Florida to England
in 1763, the citizens of Fort
Mose once again faced
enslavement. They abandoned the fort and sought safety in Spanish Cuba.” https://fortmose.org/about-fort-mose/
The wars between Spain and England
spilled unto their colonies and the British took Fort Mose
in 1740. The residents fled to nearby St.
Augustine but regrouped under their leader Francisco
Menendez and subsequently retook the fort. “By 1738 there were 100 blacks,
mostly runaways from the Carolinas, living in what became Fort Mose.
Many were skilled workers, blacksmiths, carpenters, cattlemen, boatmen, and
farmers. With accompanying women and children, they created a colony of
freed people that ultimately attracted other fugitive slaves. When war broke
out in 1740 between England
and Spain, the people of St. Augustine and nearby Fort Mose
found themselves involved in a conflict that stretched across three continents.
The English sent thousands of soldiers and dozens of ships to destroy St. Augustine and bring
back any runaways. They set up a blockade and bombarded the town for 27
consecutive days. Hopelessly outnumbered, the diverse population of
blacks, Indians and whites pulled together. Fort Mose
was one of the first places attacked. Lead by Captain Francisco Menendez,
the men of the Fort Mose Militia briefly lost the Fort but eventually
recaptured it, repelling the English invasion force. Florida
remained in Spanish hands and for the next 80 years remained a haven for
fugitive slaves from the British colonial possessions of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia and
later when these possessions became part of the United States.” Fort Mose Florida

Fort Mose
was abandoned and was overrun by marsh. Fort
Mose garnered attention in the mid
twentieth century when archeologists began uncovering the ruins and discovering
the African contribution to St
Augustine Florida.
The state of Florida
acquired the twenty-four acre site and administers it through the Anastasia State Recreation Area. The area is located in
a marsh so there is no public access to the actual fort site. In 1994 Fort Mose
was designated a National Historic Landmark.
