Did You Know?
Did
You Know?
Junious Ricardo Stanton
Here is a
supreme irony for your consideration; we live in the so-called information age an
era where data and information are at our beck and call, yet so many of us are
ignorant and oblivious to matters of enormous importance which directly impact
our lives on a daily basis.
Of course, this is designed and
deliberate. The powers who shouldn’t be
have constructed a virtual/literal matrix of cognitive bubbles, bunkers and
silos to keep us divided, misinformed, ignorant, distracted, hoodwinked and
bamboozled. It has been this way in America for a long time only now the matrix
is extremely well tuned and augmented by sophisticated technology.
This is why so many Americans are
like Zombies, it’s because the technology is supplemented and works in
collusion with pharmacological addictions, all pervasive media which
unbeknownst to us actually numbs and rewires our brains https://netpsychology.org/neuroplasticity-and-internet-use-brain-rewiring/, https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/403100/ai-brain-effects-technology-phones
and this is augmented and reinforced by the deliberate poisoning of the water,
air and food we consume.
This process is ongoing it is at work
twenty-four seven three sixty-five in real time all the time, and
unfortunately, we are unaware that this is being done to us. Even when we
suspect or realize something is amiss, we are not prepared to see the depth or
full extent of the problem. That is how nefarious this is, how criminal it is
and it is going to become even more pronounced and pervasive as the powers who
shouldn’t be construct their global digital surveillance panoptical gulag aka
The Great Reset, New World Order.
We are being conditioned,
programmed and manipulated on both subtle and obvious ways every day. What many
call “pop culture” is nothing more than the misanthropes who rule over us
programming us to accept, embrace, buy into and comply with their preplanned
agendas to control the world, its resources and the people in it for their
wicked purposes.
We have been tricked and duped not
to see how they monopolize things like social media; think about how they
pushed Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the other programs on us, their logos
were everywhere and they were touted as “progress” and “innovation”, but their
intent was to enslave us and people completely fell for their okey-doke. https://intellectualtakeout.org/2016/01/how-technology-frees-and-then-enslaves/
We see the results and think it is
natural for us to think and behave this way. No, this is the evil genius of their
mind control, cognitive entrainment and manipulation programming! The way it is
set up, the targets (us) are completely unaware of how the manipulators (them) are
programming us, altering our brains and making us addicted and dependent on
their gizmos, gadgets and content. It is so pervasive, and we are so
brainwashed we use their stuff to further our enslavement, addictions and
dependency to the point we create content based upon the ideation we have internalized
and allowed into our consciousness and we think it’s our own ideas, values and
motives, it’s not it’s theirs! https://bitrebels.com/technology/heavy-technology-turning-us-zombies/
. And we get rewarded, accepted
validated etc. for going along with their program. When we don’t we get
marginalized and kicked to the curb.
Think for yourself, meditate on the
implications of all of this and what it means for you personally. Modern technology is rewiring our brains, we
are undergoing cognitive restructuring and it is programming us to accept and
comply with the misanthropes who want to rule the world, world views and
values.
Moreover, the misapplication and direction of
this technology is making us lazy, severely addicted, undiscerning, and psychologically
weak; all without our awareness, permission or consent. Now that you know this,
what are you going to do about it?!

This Is Really Jacked Up
This Is
Really Jacked Up!
Junious Ricardo Stanton
In February
Donald Trump using the cover and pretext of negotiating a peace agreement with
Iran launched another sneak attack on Iran (he and Israel launched an
unprovoked attack on Iran in June of 2025 which did not turn out well either).
Neither attack resulted in the outcomes Trump and Netanyahu promised: a quick
and easy victory, Iran’s leadership decapitated and the nation pacified to the
will of the US and Israel. None of that happened and here we are in late Summer
of 2026, the situation is worsening daily.
Things are totally
Jacked Up but you wouldn’t know it due to the corporate media cheerleader/prostitute’s
coverage. How Jacked Up are things you ask? Well, here is just a few of the
direct consequences of Trump and Netanyahu’s misadventure against Iran.
The war is expanding. It’s not just the US,
Israel and the vassal states of the GCC against Iran and its allies; now Saudi
Arabia is involved and is trying to drag Somalia, Jordan, Qatar, Bangladesh,
Turkey, Egypt, Sudan and Djibouti into it! SO far none of these countries have
joined the fighting but it just may be a matter of time!
Meanwhile Russia and China remain
hard core supporters of Iran and seem committed to not allowing the US/NATO to
do to Iran what they did to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Venezuela. Both
Russia and China are supplying Iran with highly effective satellite imaging and
guidance for their long-range missiles which has turned the tide of the
conflict.
Iran, Ansar Allah (the Houthis) and
now Al-Shabeeb in Somalia are launching lethal drone and missile attacks
against the GCC nations, Saudi Arabia, US military facilities and Israeli
targets. US bases in the region have
been effectively neutralized and voided. Iran has totally nullified US aircraft
carriers which were the cornerstone of US oceanic hegemony since WWII, and the
world is watching!
Meanwhile
the US and NATO continue to back and prop up the Nazis in Ukraine (whom the US
helped install in 2014 under Obama) with funds, weapons and vocal support.
Essentially this is a proxy war against Russia and the Russians know it. As a result,
the US is running low on defensive anti air missiles to the point they are
taking them from other theaters leaving the Pacific in short supply because the
US lacks the capacity to replenish or replace these missiles any time soon. The
United States does not have the industrial capabilities to mobilize and restock
those munitions, period!
Even if the
US had the contracts and ability to produce armaments and support systems, they
lack the vital materials to manufacture them because the Chinese have a ninety
percent monopoly on the refinement and processing of the rare earth minerals
needed to manufacture the missiles, guidance systems, radar systems, satellites
and other critical components of these modern weapons systems.
The US also lacks access to the
rare earth minerals because the Chinese will not sell them to America! Talk
about a double whammy? The leaders of the world know this including America’s
adversaries! This makes Trump’s bluster and bravado all the more irrational. It
also explains why Iran doesn’t fall for Trump’s okey-doke any more. Why would
they after Trump attacked them under the cloak of negotiations? Trump has
placed the American military in an untenable situation.
On the
non-military front, Trump’s war is wreaking havoc on the global economy causing
supply chain disruptions, massive price increases and shortages not just for
oil, but for food, fertilizer, and countless consumer products. America’s
allies in Asia are really hurting; they are looking at Trump sideways because
they know his actions are the cause of their pain, inconvenience and suffering.
Lastly,
Trump’s war is a major factor in the US government’s increasing debt. US
government debt has risen to $39 trillion (with a T), $406.5 billion since the
February start of Trump’s war! The Pentagon requested an additional $200
billion in extra funding. How does this make you feel when you consider the US
debt to GDP is an astounding 133.88%! This means the debt totals more than all
the goods and services produced by this country! This is not only insane it is unsustainable! This
cannot go on, especially since China and other nations are dumping American T
Bills and purchasing gold. Plus, the BRICS + alliance is moving to replace the
US Dollar with other currencies from within their group. This means the US
Empire’s day are numbered.
If you owed 133.88% more than you were worth and
the banks, loan sharks, your family and friends were no longer willing to give
or lend you money, you would be in deep trouble. Needless to say, the US is in
deep trouble and that’s totally Jacked up!

Trump's War Against Iran Is Expanding
Trump’s War
Against Iran is Expanding
Junious Ricardo Stanton
Sadly,
Donald Trump’s war against Iran which he launched at the behest of Israel, is
rapidly spiraling out of control. It is now threatening to engulf larger
regions and sections of the globe! How did this happen? How have Trump’s
foolish actions against Iran devolved into a wider conflict that is resulting
in massively damaging consequences to the global economy and stability? The obvious
answer is, very quickly.
The US launched another sneak attack against
Iran on February 22, 2026 while the US and Iran were negotiating a peace
settlement; now here we are in early August and the war is spreading rapidly.
Now Trump’s war involves: Israel, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, the UAE,
Kuwait and Bahrain against Iran and non-state actors who are not part of their
national government like Ansar Allah (the Houthis of Yemen), Hezbollah of
Lebanon and al-Shabeeb of Somalia! Meanwhile Iran has the support of Russia and
China and possibly North Korea.
More countries are becoming involved as the
conflict expands. Things are happening really fast. The Saudi Arabia attacked
Yemen, in response the Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia, now Saudi Arabia is
galvanizing a “coalition” of nations including Sudan, Djibouti, Turkey, Yemen,
Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan and Bangladesh in an attempt to respond to Ansar
Allah’s, blocking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait which is critical for commercial
traffic in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Restricting traffic in the Straits of
Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb is crippling Saudi Arabia’s efforts to get their oil
to markets which in turn is devasting global energy supply chains, rising costs
and restricting availability! America, Saudi Arabia’s main ally and defender can
do nothing to stop this nor rescue the Saudis from this crisis.
Remember Saudi
Arabia waged war against Ansar Allah from March 25,2015 supported by the US
until April 2, 2022 and yet they still could not win even with US air support
and military supplies! The Houthis are no joke and Saudi Arabia has
demonstrated they cannot beat them even with a coalition of nations which
included the governments of: Yemen, Qatar (from 2015-2017) and Sudan (from
2015-2019). That was a regional conflict the US media rarely mentioned.
In 2022 the United Nations brokered
a ceasefire/settlement between Saudi Arabia and Ansar Allah. Saudi Arabia was
supported with logistics, military and air strikes by the United States until later
when the US signed a separate cease fire with the Houthis in 2025! Let that
sink in. Saudi Arabia could not defeat the Houthis with the support of the US
and the US finally stopped fighting them in 2025!
Here’s the
other piece to that conflict. Ansar Allah was supported by Iran, North Korea
and Sudan and Qatar switched their support from Saudi Arabia to Ansar
Allah! Based upon past events do you
think the Saudis can defeat the Houthis? Do you think diplomacy will work
instead of warfare? What if things go South and Saudi’s multi-national
coalition is forced to join the conflict; how do you think that will turn out?
Sudan is already in an internal conflict, do you really think Egypt, Djibouti,
Turkey, Somalia, Yemen, Jordan, Qatar, Bangladesh and Pakistan will take up
arms against the Houthis on behalf of the Saudis?
Meanwhile
Iran is going about its business exposing the US Empire as a paper tiger,
effectively destroying US military bases in the region, simultaneously wreaking
havoc on the GCC nations, Israel and the global economy. How much longer can/will
this go on? We have seen that despite the massive bombing by the US and Israel;
Iran is still standing. Despite promises
and anticipation of an easy and quick victory, Iran is holding its own making both
America and Israel look bad. The Iranian leadership seems steadfast resolute
and resilient in contrast to Trump looking like an imbecile and Netanyahu looking
like a petulant child because things are not getting his way.
This is where we are in August of
2026; who thought back in February things were going to turn out like this? Blowback can be a mother. Conditions are
worsening and this is not going to bode well for the US or the world.

Is America Like Nazi Germany
Is
America Like Nazi Germany?
Junious
Ricardo Stanton
When I was
in high school, we learned about Nazi Germany, World War II and the horrors
Hitler unleashed on Germans and Europe, I wondered why the German people went
along with a man like Adolph Hitler and the German National Socialist Party aka
Nazis? Later, I discovered that Hitler and the Nazis employed sophisticated propaganda,
psychological manipulation, intimidation and violence against those who spoke
up and out against the policies of the Nazi Party. Hitler had a man named
Joseph Goebbels who served as the head of the Ministry of Propaganda
during the reign of the Nazis in Germany.
Hitler came
into power in January of 1933, by March of that year Joseph Goebbels was
installed as the head of the Ministry of Propaganda. Goebbels had earned a PhD
in Philology and was described as bright. After earning his PhD Goebbels
authored fourteen books.
Goebbels became aware of Hitler and
his philosophies when Hitler was on trial for treason in 1924. Following
Hitler’s release from prison Goebbels joined the Nazi Party and volunteered his
services. Goebbels worked on a regional Nazi newspaper and worked his way up
within the party; eventually gaining Hitler’s trust. Goebbels played a huge
role in party organization and policy making. He was an eloquent speaker and
knew how to use the media to promote the Nazi Party agenda.
Once Hitler and the Nazis came into
political prominence Hitler appointed Goebbels to positions of authority and
influence which he used to further Hitler, Nazism and himself. As the head of
propaganda Goebbels was extremely innovative taking full advantage of the
technology of that day, radio and film, to promote Nazism and Hitler’s agenda
including genocide and war. His Ministry of Propaganda controlled the media
(newspapers, radio and film), theater and all cultural activities with overt
and subliminal messages promoting Nazism. Goebbels cunningly controlled the media
images, messages and content while suppressing and censoring anything that
opposed Nazism.
Early during his membership in the
Nazi Party Goebbels was one of the main proponents of book burnings and attacks
on dissidents. Hitler became the
beneficiary of Goebbel’s policies as the Ministry of Propaganda made Adolph
Hitler the central figure and focus in German life, to oppose Hitler was to
court death. Goebbels’ strategy was to have his hand in everything in German
social life and culture, to program the content of all media, control what was
disseminated inside Germany and how Germany was depicted to the outside world
as well. Goebbels was so effective America’s Time Magazine put Adolph
Hitler on the cover of their 1939 cover as Man of the Year!
I mention this because when we look
closely, we see eerie similarities between Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels’
Nazi Germany and what we’ve experienced in the US over the last several
decades. Just like in Nazi Germany where there were a concerted consolidation
and centralization of media, the same thing exists here in the US. Like Nazi
Germany where censorship and suppression are rampant public policy, the same
thing is true here in the US. Hitler burned books, Trump closes museums. New
technology was used by Goebbels to monopolize the media and promote Hitler’s
agenda; the same thing is happening here.
Nazi Germany used the Ministry of Propaganda
to glorify Hitler, here in the US there is a deification and idolization of US
presidents like Trump, Reagan, Bu$h Jr, Clinton and Obama. In Nazi Germany the
invasions of neighboring countries were cheered by the media; the US
misadventures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Iran are accepted
without question by an apparently brain-dead, somnambulant American public.
Just like in Nazi Germany where fairy-tale
Aryan racial supremacy and genocide were promoted and propagated, the United States
has a long and sordid history of racial hierarchy, caste, genocide and
imperialism. In many ways modern America is more like Nazi Germany than we are
willing to admit!

More Fallout from Trump's Wars
More Fallout from Trump’s Wars
Junious Ricardo Stanton
Donald Trump ran as the “peace
candidate” bodaciously claiming he would stop the existing wars and promising
no new forever wars and an era of peace and prosperity. Many people who were weary
of war fell for his lies and false promises. He said he would intervene to put
an end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict within days of being augurated. That didn’t
happen, the war is still raging and the US is supplying Ukraine with weapons
and money, our money or rather borrowed money to fight their proxy war against
Russia.
When Israel
facilitated the attack by “Hamas” on October 7, an attack which the Zionists
referred to as “their 9-11”; which was ironic because the US 9-11 was at the
very least was allowed to happen, then just like the US did in Afghanistan and
Iraq, Israel unleashed a savage genocidal assault on Gaza; Trump said he would
use his influence to bring about a negotiated peace settlement. He didn’t.
Again, Trump failed to keep his
word and Israel has viciously bombed civilian infrastructure, hospitals,
schools, mosques and indiscriminately murdered innocent men, women and children
in their quest to steal land and annex territory, yet Trump has not been
successful in stopping the carnage and slaughter by the Israelis. The killing
continues as we speak.
Then in June of 2025 Trump and Israel
launched and unprovoked attack on Iran, a nation that posed no threat to the US,
Israel or their neighbors; he did it under the flag of “peace talks”, not once
but twice. Meanwhile the lying US media depicts the Iranians as the bad guys
and threats to world peace!
Most Americans don’t know the US
has been bombing Somalia since 2007 and Donald Trump has continued this ongoing
war of aggression even in his second term! https://news.antiwar.com/2026/07/16/us-bombs-somalia-for-75th-time-this-year-2/
This is all part and parcel of an unending
legacy of war and aggression the United States has conducted since its official
inception in 1783. American leaders, like their European cousins, love war.
What are you an ordinary “citizen”
getting out of all this war? What benefits have you accrued from the American Empire’s
sordid history and tradition of predation, plunder and war?! How
much say do you as a citizen have in US foreign policy? How is it the wars keep
going on and on no matter which party is in control of the Congress or the White
House? How is it the Congress critters
get richer and we get poorer?
How is it you tolerate the prioritizing
of conflict and war profiteering at the expense of much needed infrastructural
improvements, peaceful technological innovation, a peace driven economy and
over the moral and ethical wrongness of war? Are you so brainwashed and
comatose you can’t see what is going on? The warmongers are spending more and more
of your tax dollars on war and you are getting nothing out of it! Now more and
more US body bags are starting to return home, are you okay with this?
Are you satisfied with the way
things are going? Do you like being forced to pay exorbitant prices at: the
food store, for energy, higher interest payments for loans and credit card
usage and consumer goods? Do you like being in a situation where things become
more and more unaffordable and beyond your accessibility? You can thank Donald
Trump and his predecessors including Barack Obama for this. All Trump is doing
is putting petal to the metal on an already existing multi-generational
imperialist war machine!
Now Trump has escalated the war
against Iran and Iran’s allies are intensifying their responses. Ansar Allah (the
Houthis) is blocking the Bab el-Mandab Strait effectively cutting off the Red
Sea, blocking trade and commerce in a vital transit way for oil. Saudia Arabia is going to pay a heavy price. https://thehill.com/policy/international/5979139-houthi-saudi-arabia-red-sea-blockade/
This action is literally choaking
Saudia Arabia’s import and export lifeline. As payback for US bombings in Somalia
al-Shabaab is collaborating with the Houthis to disrupt traffic in the Bab
al-Mandab Strait and Iran is supplying them both with drone technology! How do
you think this will impact Wall Street and Main Street USA?!
The closure of the Straits of
Hormuz and Bab el-Mandab will cripple global trade and commerce. This is a huge
development Trump cannot counter with more bombs, in fact bombing will worsen
the situation. These closures will cause major price increases on consumer
goods due to longer transit times, higher insurance rates and major supply
chain disruptions and scarcity. You can thank Donald Trump for this. Meanwhile
Trump and Congress are spending money they don’t have on more wars. Who bebefits?!
When you add the negative consequences
of the war in Ukraine, no fertilizer, disrupted supply lines for goods like
wheat and oil due to Ukraine striking Russian energy infrastructure, the
ongoing global fall out from these wars is going to be horrific. https://unsdg.un.org/resources/global-impact-war-ukraine-food-energy-and-finance-systems-brief-no2
Buckle up it’s going to get rough.

There Is More to This Than Meets the Eye
There Is More to This Than Meets the Eye
Junious Ricardo Stanton
I
predicted the US-Israel war against Iran was not over that it would resume
because the globalist overlords need wars to accomplish their agendas. What
agendas you ask? Their long simmering plan for world domination and control.
This plan includes massive global depopulation which is not a secret and has
not been a secret for decades. Look up the National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200), also known as
the Kissinger Report which goes back to the Nixon administration in
1974. This report framed eugenics and depopulation as a national security issue
with the goal of reducing world population (mostly non-white populations)
significantly. In their minds babies birthed by non-whites posed a “security
threat” to the US!
But that was
not all. The global ruling class wants total population control so they also
targeted rich nations and the US in particular. “Until today the Population Council concerns itself with
researching contraception and other ways to prevent births, such as the Copper
T intrauterine device. Since then, an estimated 50 million Copper Ts have been
distributed in over 70 countries. In 1969, Berelson was looking for ideas. Jaffe
rose to the occasion and responded with what would later become known as the
Jaffe Memo. In it, Jaffe proposed a set of actions which he believed could
suppress the US birth rate. He compiled them into a table titled ‘Proposed
measures to reduce fertility by universality or selectivity of impact in the
US.’ Some of those proposed measures were to ‘encourage increased
homosexuality,’ ‘allow harmless contraceptives to be distributed nonmedically,’
to ‘make contraception truly available and accessible,’ and to provide ‘abortion
and sterilization on demand.’ Another measure was titled ‘Restructure family’
and contained two parts: ‘(a) Postpone or avoid marriage,’ and ‘(b) Alter image
of ideal family size.’” US Depopulation Plan Hits New Milestone https://eraoflight.com/2023/12/30/us-depopulation-plan-hits-new-milestone/
These policies have been implemented all too well. All you
have to do is look at American society socially, morally and culturally. They
are working so well the US is in a birth replacement population decline. “For decades, the total fertility rate in the United
States has been below the replacement fertility rate—the level of fertility
necessary for the current generation to replace itself… Much of the population
growth of the United States through 2100 is expected to come from immigration.
The U.N. Population Division’s zero-migration projection shows how the
population of the United States is projected to grow if no new immigrants came
into the country and no U.S. residents left the country after 2024.” Fertility
in the United States Is Below Replacement https://www.heritage.org/marriage-and-family/report/fertility-the-united-states-below-replacement If the globalists want to reduce world population is
this why Trump is waging a war on immigrants?
I bring this up because one of the ways the globalists is
reducing world population is through low intensity wars, conflicts and
aggressive geostrategic resource conflicts, like the wars in Ukraine and Iran.
Not only are people dying in those countries and in West Asia, Africa and Latin
America but the fall-out from these wars are causing havoc around the globe. These
wars are crating supply chain issues not only in energy but in farming and
agriculture. This impacts people’s health, not having fertilizer to grow crops,
not having oil, gas or fuel stifles productivity, trade, supply lines and
chains which in turn impact people’s health, employment and standard of living.
What if these ongoing wars, conflicting ideologies and
eschatologies were being used by global elites to further population decline,
disrupt normal commerce and the availability of crucial materials, foods and
supplies?! Am I exaggerating or being over reactive? I don’t think so. These wars are not being fought by single
actors and countries. NATO (including the US) is assisting Ukraine against
Russia. Meanwhile, Russia, China, Hezbollah and the Houthis are assisting Iran
against the US and Israel. The GCC is supporting the US (and Israel) and there
is cross-over intrigue and collaboration among all the players in both wars!
Meanwhile it is the innocent masses who suffer. Read this to get a sense of
what I am talking about. https://fortune.com/2026/03/29/iran-ukraine-wars-combatants-overlap-us-israel-russia-uae-saudi-arabia/
There is more to this than meets the eye. Think globally
and ask who benefits from all of this chaos and war? It is surely not us.

What Are You Celebrating?
What Are You Celebrating?
Junious Ricardo Stanton
The United
States will hold a huge celebration for the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of
the founding of this nation. Many Blacks will be caught up in the celebrations,
the festivities and merriment. But when we think about our experiences in this hemisphere
even before the nation was founded, what do we have to celebrate and why are we
overlooking the horrors we have experienced, the crimes against humanity this
nation and its leadership or more correctly its mis-leadership have committed
during its existence as a sovereign nation. What exactly are we as Africans in
America celebrating?
I get it, a
day off being able to be with friends and family are a great way to pass the
time and I realize we should not remain focused entirely on the past; nevertheless,
we need to acknowledge what we have come through and honestly ask ourselves
have conditions and the consciousness of this nation changed enough for us to
think and believe we are an integral part of this nation?
We are here
but are we really a part of America? Our people have fought in every major war,
but do you know the United States has been at war with one group or nation
eighty-six percent of its existence since it was founded?! https://www.thenews.pk/print/1402664-us-has-been-at-war-for-86pc-of-its-history.
The fact of the matter is during the colonial era successive wars were fought
between the European nation states as well as the indigenous people who were
living on this land thousands of years before Europeans came here! These people
love war, is this something you think is worthy of celebration?
Black
people have been in this hemisphere before the first kidnaped Blacks landed in English
colonial Virginia in 1619. Africans were here with the European soldiers of
fortune who came to settle, plunder and pillage this land in the sixteenth
century. Blacks came to Virginia in 1619 as captives aboard a Portuguese Man o’
War (manned by pirates and thieves) who were exchanged for vittles and supplies
with the British settler/invaders.
These early
African arrivals were treated as indentured servants who later were
“integrated” into Jamestown colonial life and were able to advance by their
efforts because they were skilled farmers and craftsmen with no racial stigma attached
to them; that would come later. According to historian Lerone Bennett Jr these
early Africans eventually petitioned the colonial government for their freedom
and won. In some instances, Africans attained higher status than many European
indentured servants. Read Before The Mayflower by Lerone Bennett
Jr to see how the first Africans lived, survived and worked in their new
environment.
However,
the colonial owners and investors were looking for greater profits and they saw
a huge disadvantage and security risk keeping Whites on the bottom of the
social order. First, they needed them as cannon fodder for their genocide of
the indigenous people and the occupation of their lands. They also feared more rebellions
and revolts. They feared Whites uniting with indigenous people and Africans to
resist the brutal and exploitative colonial infrastructure which had happened on
numerous occasions. Plus only a little
over half of the Whites actually lived to finish out their indenture contracts
and get their land, tobacco and seeds because working conditions were so
brutal. https://lsintspl3.wgbh.org/en-us/lesson/ush22-il-baconsrebellion/4
So, a fateful decision was made by
the ruling class to use mainly African labor and to institutionalize and
systematize them into an inferior status first based on their not being
Christians but later on skin pigmentation. It went from bad to worse as additional
colonial governments passed laws mandating and consigning Blacks into repressive
subjugation and inferior status under oppressive policies that legalized perpetual
bondage/enslavement with no rights or privileges. This is a fact. It is an
integral part of this nation’s history. Now Donald Trump wants to white-wash
and suppress this truth. Is this what you are celebrating? How does this make
you feel?
When the US Constitution was written and
ratified even though the word slavery was never mentioned, the “peculiar
institution” was codified into the law of the land. Contained in that document: Article I Sections
2 and 9 and Article IV Section 2 made Black enslavement the law and profitable source
of revenue because the Constitution allowed for a tax not to exceed ten dollars
to be imposed for each “person” imported. Read it for yourself. Is this what
you and your family and friends are celebrating?
The mindset and “values” imbedded
in the Constitution set the tone and tenor for our sojourn in America until
this present day! Even after so called Reconstruction, the Thirteenth Amendment
did not totally abolish slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment has not provided
equal protection under the law and the Fifteenth Amendment certainly has not
guaranteed us the right to vote, as we see with the machinations to suppress
our vote today! Are you celebrating this?
Do you think this history of wars,
genocide and slavery are worth celebrating? In my opinion we should be engaged
in protracted struggle to protect and empower ourselves to ensure our human
rights. But as with anything the choice is up to us, partying or standing up
for ourselves. Which will you choose?
