9/11 war games came about. The NORAD/Airforce 5 wargames goes by the names of Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior, Northern Guardian, Northern Vigilance, and the National Reconnaissance Office “plane into building” exercise on 9/11. The news media in the mainstream media hasn’t reported on this story at all. Vice President Richard Cheney is alleged to have overseen the war games on the morning of 9/11. These wargames on 9/11 paralyzed attempts to intercept the planes that crashed into locations on 9/11. The wargames involve live fly exercises where actual aircraft were simulating the behavior of hijacked airliners. IN real life, this paralyzed the FAA, NORAD, and the Air Force from using the same Standard operating Procedure they have applied on 9/00 and 6/01 (when they have successfully launched fighters on 67 occasions to escort wayward aircraft). This is why Col. Robert K. Marr Jr. (of the Northeast Air Defense Sector) said that: “…Is this real world or an exercise…” On 9/11 most interceptors from the Northeast are in Canada and Alaska for wargames. The hijacking exercises are confuses with real flights on radar. There are as many as 22 hijacked planes of undetermined origin on radar. So, interception is impossible for the 8 remaining fighters in the Northeast. Still, the wargames don’t answer about how the air defenses were suppressed for another half hour after the second tower was hit (at which time everyone knew that an attack was in progress). The Air Force had another half hour after the second tower to scramble interceptors to defend the Capitol (the plane that is alleged to have hit the Pentagon made its 180 degree turn over Ohio to head back toward D.C. about the time that the second tower was struck). On the day of 9/11, The Joint Chiefs (Myers) and NORAD were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack Field Training Exercise (FTX) which involved at least one (and almost certainly many more) aircraft under US control that was posing as a hijacked airliner. And while the government has consistently stated that it did not know where the aircraft were before they struck, there is a short video clip of the Secretary of Transportation's testimony before the 9/11 Commission shows that Cheney monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon (Yet, Cheney told the military to do nothing to intercept the plane). How could one of the most heavily-defended buildings in the world have been succesfully attacked, when the Vice President of the United States, in charge of counter-terrorism on 9/11, watched it approach from many miles away?
Dr. King’s 1967 address in Chicago at the “National Conference for a New Politics” describes his goal of economic justice. Professor Thomas Jackson's book “FROM CIVIL RIGHTS TO HUMAN RIGHTS: MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR AND THE STRUGGLE FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE” express information about this issue as well. It’s certainly not the poor or minorities that didn’t create ghettoes, segregation, or other crimes against humanity. It has been cartel-capitalism, deindustrialization (or the industrial and manufacturing jobs which allows one to support and sustain families and a stable life), and other realities that have caused damage to our economic system. Not only has this reality harmed our economy, but our family cohesiveness and communities since especially the 1960’s (via the Vietnam War & a lack of support for real anti-poverty programs). This chaos has grown via COINTELPRO and the war on Drugs. We have to have revolutionary and human values instead of the corrupt values of nihilistic, worldly culture. We need to adhere to the discredited philosophies of the corporate plutocrats (who are responsible for numerous crises). We don’t need a watered down health care package or a tepid national reconstruction program. Gitmo and the Middle Eastern wars are still occurring now. Some even want a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures. A true man and a true woman must have the backbone to stand up for righteousness, stand up for justice, and not worry what negative people may say about this person. That is why we should end bank bailouts, fund our social safety net, and end the war on terror as we know it (that caused deaths worldwide in the millions).
There has been violence against pro-life people for decades. There is the anniversary of the brutal slaying of the pro-life activist by a pro-abortion extremist. This Pro-Life man was named James Pouillon. September 11th, 2009 is the time of James’ brutal slaying. He murderer was named Harlan Drake. Drake was rightly convicted of murder. Pouillon was murdered as he protested abortion across the street from Owosso High School with a graphic pro-life sign. The murderer Harlan Drake killed owner Mike Fuoss in Fouss Gravel Pit in Owosso Township. Drake was arrested by police and he confessed to the2 murders. James Pouillon’s daughter Mary Jo Poullion of Owosso misses her father every day. She said that her father’s cause can reach more people now than ever before. “He always told me that he hoped that when he died that it was out on the corner doing work that God has called him to do. And that’s exactly what happened,” Mary Jo Pouillon said. “And so many more people heard about his story and his activism and his cause because of his death. And he would have loved that.” Following her father’s death, Mary Jo Pouillon said she received hundreds of cards mailed from all over the United States and the world. Pro-life activists also have held demonstrations in Jim Pouillon’s honor, she added. There were other threats against Pouillon for using his free speech rights in showing his signs. Drake’ mother Kim Staples told in an evil and nasty tone to former Owosso city councilman Michael Cline about the graphic signs shown by Pouillon. She told him that she would send her boys over to go see Jim. After the shootings, Cline testified that Staples called him and said “...I have solved the city’s problem, my son has shot Jim Pouillon.” Typical of the media- they tried to discount the fact that James Pouillon was murdered because of the killers beliefs on abortion. Harlan Drake was pro-abortion and pro-choice plain and simple despite the media’s downplaying it. Violence against the unborn and against innocent pro-life individual ought to be known globally. The abortionist Dr. Gary Boyle pointed a handgun at pro-life protesters in South Carolina. Dominic Holt-Reid tried to use a handgun to force his pregnant girlfriend to have an abortion. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, one pro-abortionist threatened a pro-life activist with a gun. Outside a Phoenix Planned Parenthood abortion center on Wednesday an Arizona man (who wanted his girlfriend to get an abortion) pulled a gun on a pro-life advocate who handed him a brochure with information on alternatives to abortion (in Phoenix, AZ as confirmed by Lt. Larry T. Jacobs). This is in our time. There thousands of similar stories of brutal attacks of pro-choice boyfriends who kill their pro-life girlfriends because they refuse to have abortions, to pro-choice activists who attack pro-lifers, vandalize their property, and threaten them constantly, to abortion doctors who have sexually assaulted their abortion patients ( google: Dr. Brian Finkel or Dr. Nabil Ghali to name a few) to those who have cared so little for these women that they left the abortion mills in plastic bags, or died later from neglect. Abortionists killed wives as well like Neville W. Duncan, John Baxter Hamilton, Malachy DeHenre, etc. The Rhodes Scholar Rachel Maddow from MSNBC ignores these stories since it doesn’t fit into her viewpoint. We should peacefully express our views and fight for liberty for all people, less the unborn too.
Labor Day should be made into a motivation to battle against the corporatist agenda. We still have labor issues. Many jobs have left America. Corporations want more profits, so they have moved into China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Eastern Europe in order to get cheap labor. There is the substitution of foreign labor that is paid less than its productivity for American labor (or labor arbitrage). It has benefited Wall Street, shareholders, and corporate CEOs. This policy has ruined American employment, household incomes, tax base, and the outlook for the U.S. economy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday, September 2 says that zero net jobs were created in August, which is a number 250,000 less than the amount of monthly job creation necessary to make progress in reducing Americas’ high rate of unemployment. The zero figure is actually an optimistic number. As John Williams (shadowstats.com) has made clear, problems with the BLS’s seasonal adjustments and “birth-death” model during the prolonged downturn that began in December 2007 result in the BLS over-estimating new jobs and underestimating lost jobs. Seasonal adjustments and the birth death model were used in a growing economy in mind. It can result in miscounts during downturns. One example is that a birth death model can estimate new jobs that are created from new startup companies that are not yet reporting and it estimates the job losses from companies that have gone out of business. Start ups exceed job losses in a growing economy. Yet, the situation reverses during downturns or during periods of sub-normal job growth. In the past 44 months, the birth death model has overestimated the number of new jobs created. The annual revisions are created to new job reports (but the excess jobs are taken out and it’s seldom headline news). Stimulus is a good thing if used correctly, yet they haven’t been totally successful because a real populist solution hasn’t been done. Also, jobs that Americans once had have moved offshore. You have to bring jobs here and have infrastructure development if the stimulus is to really work. Paul Krugman and Robert Reich are fight that the federal government using more stimulus is fine. Yet, you have to do more like have a radical change in our economic system in order to bring more economic growth. We can’t deindustralize and be successful long term. It has been the case for many years that when the US economy manages to eke out new jobs, they are in non-tradable domestic services, such as health care and social assistance, waitresses and bar tenders, retail clerks. The U3 measure of unemployment (the current 9.1% unemployment rate) only measures unemployment among those who are actively seeking a job. Those who have become discouraged by the inability to find a job and have ceased looking are not counted as being among the unemployed, and the U3 measure makes no adjustment for those who are forced into part-time jobs because there is no full-time employment. The government knows that the U3 “headline” unemployment rate is seriously understated and provides a broader measure known as U6. The U6 stands in 16.2% of unemployment. John Williams estimates this number and adds it to the U6 measure to produce a current rate of US unemployment of 22.7%, an unemployment rate 2.5 times higher than the official rate. Similar understatement exists in the measure of inflation known as the Consumer Price Index. Economic justice has been opposed by corporate greed. The government should be by the people and for the people, not for the rich. Even Dr. Martin Luther King wanted to have a "…radical REDISTRIBUTION of political and economic power."
African literature is very strong in the past and the present. In 1979, Mazisi Kunene published “Emperor Shaka the Great: A Zulu Epic.” The story described the oral tradition of the great Zulu praise singers of the Zulu king. It reflected on the post independence period of African nationalism, a Pan Africanist vision of union and the showing of the past. Buchi Emecheta is from Nigeria. She wrote “The Joys of Motherhood.” Its title deals with marriage and family in the village and colonial city from a woman’s perspective. I want to mention this as well. It doesn’t matter where we (as black people live), we still have an African identity. We are African whether we live in Africa, whether we are in the Diaspora, etc. Also, being African isn’t monolithic as supremacists maintain. In Africa from the past and the present, we find people will all textures of hair, colors of skin, and types of eyes plus noses. So, the diversity of phenotypes is very African. Although, being black is a blessing and I love black people. I love my people. In Africa, there is the San of Southern Africa, there are the Tutsis, the Hutus, the Amhara, the Fulani, the Somali, the Bantu tribes, and other human beings. African peoples have great genetic diversity (since all of modern human beings originated from Africa. Our African ancestors are the fathers and mothers of the rest of the human race). African culture involve learning about African languages, having an African thinking or worldview, respecting true African history, using African fashion or dress, and having a love for other compositions of African lifestyles as well. Also, it’s important to mention that African culture isn’t limited to African. African culture has been practiced and embraced worldwide in the Americas (that is why you see jazz, the blues , soca, and even in some elements of other foods, dance, fashion, languages, and music having core African traditions in them), Asia, yes even in Europe, etc. Increasingly, more Africans in America are changing their dress, celebrating God as continental Africans did, and promoting celebrations reflecting of the original African people. I don‘t need to embrace Eurocentric concepts to benefit my soul. My soul needs to learn about my real homeland, which is Africa. So, all of who are of African descent have the right to have self preservation, self determination, refuting wicked stereotypes, confronting injustice, overcoming obstacles, having hope, and being real.
I don’t the rebels in Libyan then or now. Did you know that these savage rebels are rounding up blacks, killing them, and putting them in prison camps? That is why the human rights groups called on the Libyan National Transitional Council (or NTC) to stop the arbitrary arrests and abuse of African migrant workers and black Libyans assumed to be mercenaries. Human Rights Watch said on Sunday that the NTC should release those detained as mercenaries solely because of skin color. The rights organization said that the NTC should give prompt judicial review to any detainees for whom there is evidence of criminal activity. Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW’s Middle East and North Africa director says “it’s a dangerous time to be dark-skinned in Tripoli.” She said the NTC should stop arresting African migrants and black Libyans unless it has “concrete evidence” of criminal activity. The human rights organization wants the NTC to implement its commitment to human rights. They want the NTC to ensure the security of tens of thousands of migrant workers from sub-Saharan Africa who face harassment and violence from both armed rebel fighters and Libyan citizens. Human Rights Watch have exposed the fact that Libya is home to between 1 and 2 million African workers prior to the uprising. Friday the International Organization of Migration said that sub-Saharan African in Libyan has been subject to physical attacks and some have been killed. An IOM spokeswoman told VOA that many were targeted by people who believed they were mercenaries in the employ of Maommar Gaddafi or Libya’s former leader.
