I believe in God, not the GOP nor the DNC

There is a KONY-like style documentarycoming out that is trying to sell the evil war on Syria. This documentary was produced by the mercenary who fought with NATO-back Libyan rebels. People know that the NATO war crimes in Libya were abominable and criminal. Now, they are promoting the same war crimes in Syria by Western backed rebels. This mercenary is producing a documentary film. He supports an invasion of Syria. He draws inspiration from the KONY 2012 documentary. KONY 2012 now is exposed as a fraud, but it once spread greatly across the Internet (which was exploited as a means to justify the evil U.S. military interventions in Africa). The mercenary's name is Matthew Van Dyke. He's a 33 year old American filmmaker and war corespondent. He was with the U.S. military in Iraq. Back in 2011, he traveled into Libya in order to fight with NATO backed rebels. Some of the rebels were part of the LIFG. LIFG is an Al-Qaeda offshoot. They killed U.S. troops in Iraq. The West supports terrorists while hypocritically condemns terrorism. VanDyke was imprisoned by the Libyan regime for almost six months. Yet, he still managed to aid rebels in getting rid of Gaddafi. Libya was once the richest nation in Africa. Now, it is a puppet pro-NATO state. Sectarian thugs rule that nation of Libya presently. These thugs have imprisoned, tortured, and killed thousands of black Libyans. That's one of the many reasons why I can't support this war on terror. Van Dyke gave aid and support to LIFG (it's listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. He faces no legal retribution from the U.S. government). These same al-Qaeda terrorists that were once in Libya are now flooding Syria. They are backing the insurgency against President Assad. Van Dyke said that he will join the rebels in Syria on the front line in order for him to fight the Syrian government. He wants to film a documentary about his support of overthrowing the Syrian government. He cites the propaganda film KONY 2012 as his inspiration to go into Syria. People know that KONY 2012 enraged the Ugandan people believes of its falsehoods. The films' director Jason Russell had a mental breakdown. VanDyke wants donations to his project and wants people to send money into his Twitter page. He wants to raise at least $19,500 and wants to add to a figure of a $100,000 would allow for a publicity campaign for the film. His journalist friend John Cantlie was captured recently by Syrian rebels. These rebels told him that they want to bring Shariah law to Syria. Shariah law is legal system submerged under a theocratic Islamic state. These rebels were called foreign jihadists or some of them had English accents (being from Britain, Pakistan, and Bangladesh). The insurgents aren't making huge progress in Syria. They are fighting in the cities. The military industrial complex are using mercenaries like VanDyke as a means to promote propaganda against Syria. A NATO invasion could come. VanDyke is wrong to assume that all of the Syrian rebels are democratic freedom fighters. Many of them are foreign insurgents and opportunists that fulfill the aims of NATO in ending Assad's reign in order for a puppet state to come about. The RAND Corporations admits now that there is a present of Al-Qaeda fighters in Syria.




Nigeria is a very special part of black African history then and now. Nigeria is one of the greatest countries in the world. Nigeria today is a great land with a great history plus great culture in the Motherland of Africa. It borders the Republic of Benin to the West, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger. Nigeria's motto is "Unity and Faith, Peace, and Progress." Individuals already know about the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria being the Hausa, the Igbo (which make up the large ancestry of African Americans today in 2012), and the Yoruba. Half of the nation is Muslim and half of the nation is Christian. Most of the Muslims reside in the north and most Christians live in the south. Regardless of what creed a brother or sister embraces, they deserve dignity and respect. So, the brothers and sisters in Nigeria ought to end that religious conflict as soon as possible. We are all one and there is no need for that. Regardless if we are Christian, or Muslim, or animist, or whatever creed we follow, we are black people deserving of equality & justice point blank period. So, I will not fall for the enemy's tricks and we know who the real enemy is (and it isn't our black brothers or our black sisters at all). Likewise, Nigeria is a blessed nation with a lovely disposition. There were human habitation in Nigeria even in 9,000 B.C. where people lived and traveled. Nigeria is very special, because it has the highest population of people that's black in the world. It has over 170 million black people. That's a lot of people and a blessing in the eyes of the Creator. It has heavy oil reserves in the nation including other resources. Goodluck Jonathan is the current President of Nigeria. He succeeded Umaru Musa Yar'Adua to the office in 2010. The President is the Head of State, he's elected by popular vote to a maximum of two four year terms. He is the head national executive, but his power is checked by a Senate and a House of Representatives. Both houses are combined into a bicameral body called the National Assembly. The Senate is made up of 109 seats in its body with 3 members from each state and one from the capital region of Abuja. The Senate members are elected by popular vote to 4 year terms. The House has 360 seats and the number of seats per state is determined by population. Nigeria is influenced by Customary law (or by traditional norms in Nigeria), Common law, English, and Sharia law (which is used only in the predominantly Muslim north of the country). Nigeria has been very visible in fighting for the interests of the African continent. For example, Nigeria fought against the apartheid regime in South Africa. Nigeria is the founding member of the Organization for African Unity (now called the African Union). Nigeria funded anti-colonial struggles as well in Angola, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. Nigeria today has a mixed economy. It has natural resources, financial infrastructure, communications, transport sectors, etc. According to Citigroup, Nigeria will get the highest average GDP growth in the world between 2010-2050. It has increased its democratic power and economic reforms. It has the second largest economy in Africa following South Africa. Nigeria's telecommunications markets are one of the fastest of such markets in the world. Literature, art, music, films (Nollywood is popular in the world today), and other parts of a culture can all be found in Nigeria. As brother Malcolm X said of Nigeria: "...I arrived in Accra yesterday from Lagos, Nigeria. The natural beauty and wealth of Nigeria and its people are indescribable...it is time for all African-Americans to become an integral part of the world's Pan-Africanists, and even though we might remain in America physically while fighting for the benefits the Constitution guarantees us, we must "return" to Africa philosophically and culturally and develop a working unity in the framework of Pan-Africanism..."

The New Deal came at a response of the depression and WWII continued its legacy to this very day. Some of the old liberals like LBJ, JFK, Humphrey, etc. knew about the Great Depression first hand. Even Humphrey said that his wife sold sandwiches on campus during the depression to help pay the bills. So, all of us are tied together in the world. The New Deal caused many social programs to help the poor and the elderly like Social Security. Social Security is a blessing to the elderly and most of the elderly can attest to that. Our progress have been great in America. The Civil Rights Act is law. The minimum wage has increased and women have increased of their rights. We still have a long way to go since the dream isn't fulfilled yet. The dream won't die, but we are still fighting for the real dream. We are out of the desert, but we aren't in the Promised Land yet. We may never see the Promised Land in another 20 years or so, but we can make our journey to see it much sooner if we keep on fight for social and economic justice. Now, the situation now is that we have got to mentor the younger generation about the truth and about real values of tolerance, civil liberties, religious freedom, and love of humanity plus the advancement of equality. Also, we should reinvigorate the anti-war movement. Just because a Democrat is President, doesn't mean that the anti-war movement should be weakened. Anti-war people are still strong here, so that reality ought to be acknowledged greatly. An anti-poverty plan should be made available. It's hypocritical for both parties to talk about the middle class, but refuse to talk about a huge plan to assist the interests of the poor. More folks who were once middle class are now poor presently. Operation Chaos, COINTELPRO, and other programs tried to harm dissent decades ago. They targeted African Americans, Native Americans, labor, and other protesters in society. The FBI used domestic spying and organized distrust of real movements for social change. We are important and Kennedy spoke about the poor deserving of just treatment. Even Johnson spoke about poverty and he was wrong on the Vietnam War question. Richard Nixon didn't respect a lot of the anti-war movement and that is exemplified in history. Far too often, the fascists of today use the tool of division in trying to demonize those that disagree with progressive principles. Richard Nixon criticized communism for decades and then by 1971, he publicly recognized China. He followed the policy of triangulation. That means that Nixon wanted to drive a wedge between China and Russia in order for them to be at each others' throat while America can increase its political hegemony in the world, especially in the Third World. Nixon and his administration supported the assassination covertly of Allende in Chile. He was replaced by the dictator Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet in 17 years enacted torture against his political opponents. He created a reign of terror in Chile along with a huge list of human rights abuses. This act of covertly funding Pinochet had nothing to do with fighting communism or spreading freedom. It has to do with imperialism and spreading corporate interests in South America. In today's society, we have done a massive redistribution of wealth from the poor to corporate America under the guise of false patriotism. Richard Nixon wasn't all the way reactionary. Some of his policies were non-conservative like price controls, reducing the speed limit, the invention of the EPA, etc. Although, Watergate wasn't the only mistake that Nixon committed. He was involved in ending the primary campaign of Ed Muskie. Nixon wanted to face McGovern since he believed that McGovern would be an easier opponent during the 1972 Presidential election. He established CREEP, the Committee to reelect the President in his reelection bid. CREEP took in over $60 million much of it in violations of campaign funding laws.





Robert Kennedy was a famous figure in history. He appealed to people from across the political spectrum. The reason is that many of his words and statements appealed to people who are liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and independents. He worked with the late President John F. Kennedy on domestic and foreign matters as the U.S. Attorney General (or America's most powerful lawyer in America). He know of him winning the U.S. Senate seat from New York. Later, he opposed the Vietnam War publicly and decided to run for the office of President of the United States by March of 1968. He was a man that gradually became more progressive as time went on his life (yet, he held to other nuisance positions too). He led a crusade against Organized crime and the Mafia. He and Jimmy Hoffa didn't get along, because he accused Hoffa of financial corruption. By 1968, he had strong support to a bill then under consideration for the abolition of the death penalty. For a time, the death penalty was banned in America until a few decades ago. RFK opposed apartheid in South Africa as a negation of human rights. He made the famous Annual Day of Affirmation speech in June of 1966. He organized a successful re-development project in the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn in NYC. So, Robert Kennedy greatly loved the ground up, grassroots like community programs that fought against poverty, crime, and other debilitating conditions of certain communities. He reviewed the effectiveness of the War on Poverty when he visited the Mississippi Delta. He wanted the advancement of freedom among immigrants, Native Americans, African Americans, and other human beings. So, he believed in health care for Americans, employment opportunities, integration, and the desegregation of busing in the world. He is famous for allying with Cesar Chavez in order to promote labor rights and equality for Hispanic Americans. Robert Kennedy agreed with JFK's Alliance for Progress that believed that when you deal with U.S. foreign policy, human rights must be placed in a high emphasis. Senator Kennedy had cautioned President Johnson against commitment of U.S. ground troops as early as 1965, but Lyndon Johnson chose to commit ground troops on recommendation of the rest of President Kennedy's still intact staff of advisers. Robert Kennedy did not strongly advocate withdrawal from Vietnam until 1967, within a week of Martin Luther King taking the same public stand. He rejected the glamorization of violence in the world and he call for the improvement of the quality of education in the USA today. Robert Kennedy's campaign extended the agenda of President John F. Kennedy. Yet, JFK wasn't some hawkish neo-con before he died. JFK woke up a great deal. JFK signed a test ban treaty with the Soviets, he wanted normalization possibly with Cuba, he wanted an end to extensive U.S. military involvement in Vietnam by 1965, he didn't want a proliferation of nuclear weapons in the globe, and he supported Third World nationalist movements. He wasn't a neo-con since he rejected the concept of a Pax Americana that would enforce U.S. interests via the weapons of war. Kennedy also supported Lummumba of the Congo and praised Algerian independence after its suffering of imperialism. John F. Kennedy wanted to visit Indonesia to support that nation by the spring of 1964. So, JFK was not a Cold Warrior before he died. JFK believed in world peace and rejected war via his American University speech from 1963. His American University speech outlined his views clearly on foreign policy matters. John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy were close brothers. Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy complemented each other's personalities and thinking. He was died in June 5, 1968 by an assassin's bullet.


In my life, you go through evolutions and changes. Years ago, I had certain views. My core convictions are the same, but I am more mature now. I am more progressive and I am ever learning about a multiplicity of subjects or issues. In our generation, one of the great things is the opportunity to think andto  realize that there is no shame in real freedom and real love. Real love is not a sin. True love is not evil no matter what people say. Also, all humans deserve that happiness and joy in life. All of us should have the right to strive to be better, to be more moral, to try our best to fulfill our own dreams and aspirations. Some folks even believe that since I believe in God then I must unequivocally advance the most reactionary parts of the Republican Party agenda (or agree with Tea Party rhetoric). Yet, I won't do that at all. I refuse to receive a false gospel from the Tea Party or Engels. The unvarnished truth is I accept the tenets of civil liberties, peace, and human rights. God is not a Republican or a Democrat. I believe in God, but I don't believe that a person should be held into bondage or mental slavery because of their color, or their gender, or their background. Religious freedom in my eyes doesn't mean that I adhere to a tyrannical form of liberty suppression inside of America or in any nation that surrounds the globe. It is a historical fact that both the Republicans and the Democrats have imperfections. Some of their histories have been shameful when some of their party members advanced Jim Crow apartheid, discrimination, and other injustices. That is one of the many profound reasons why I am an independent type of person politically. I can draw my own inspiring conclusions on issues and I can be relieved from political pressures. I believe in equality in the Middle East (in other words the Israelis and Palestinians should exist without terrorism or modern-day apartheid. There is a potent peace movement in Israel and Palestine that want a stable, harmonious system for all in the Middle East) and I believe in just policies in order to protect our ecosystem. Just because I believe in God doesn't mean that I believe that a human being of any background should receive second class citizenship or I believe that health care isn't a human right. Health care is a human right and universal health care is obviously superior to the status quo (or a corporate dominated, mostly privatized health care system in the USA). Our rights aren't conferred by the state. They are inborn or God-given. Now, one link among those that support the idea that we must all be GOP-like is that most of them accept no-regulation allowed, unfettered capitalism. In other words, the realities of income inequality, huge poverty, and the failure of neo-liberalism all merit the need for a more comprehensive approach in solving our economic situations. The free market alone can never eliminate poverty. The free market's lack of infallibility inspired human beings to institute the minimum wage, laws against pollution, the ban on child labor, and other legitimate regulations that can prevent diseases and chaos. The free market can not make a living wage, the free market can not promote civil rights, and the free market isn't God. It's extremely hypocritical for some to advocate record military spending, yet ignore necessary spending to adequate assist our domestic landscape. In spite of our monumental challenges, I still have hope. Hope is prevailing concept etched in my thinking and conscience. Our ancestors had hope and they made it so we could enjoy the bountiful blessings prevailing our land. No matter how debilitating the hour, hope and resolute actions can make a way where there is no way. A new generation is arising. Not by bread alone can we succeed though. There needs to be the efforts of individuals and the collective in order for our standard of living to grow and for true liberty and righteousness to spread across the land. The socioeconomic characteristics of poverty is one motivation for us to promote the redistribution of economic and political power (since there is the 1 percent having a wide income gap in the realm of our fiscal reality). As long as I have breathe, I will believe in public and private assistance to those in need. It is just to believe in social reforms and it is just to advocate an annual guaranteed income if necessary for all Americans. Nothing will change that in my life. I believe in the sanctity of human life, but I wholeheartedly war, unnecessary death, or a theocratic agenda. The lie of the reactionary in saying to get over it is an old falsehood. A person should never get over oppression, we should never get over injustice, and anybody should use the past as a justification to press onward for reforms. A cultural awakening ought to take place too. Too many human beings have self hatred and bouts of inadequacies. We should respond to this problem like the old heroes did in the past. We should speak forthrightly and firmly that all human beings have value irrespective of how they look or their backgrounds. All people have the right to be themselves. All people are somebody and special and the ways of tolerance is better than way of materialism (or a selfish mentality). Therefore, we must press forward. We must press forward for justice and believe that love doesn't mean discrimination (Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness doesn't apply to some people. It applies to all human beings period) and that truth doesn't mean an involuntarily allegiance to jingoistic patriotism. One of the reactionaries from Youtube questioned my faith in God over microchips when I written plus spoke in opposition of microchips being involuntarily implanted into humans (I opposed the Mark of the Beast system) for over 10 years. So, I am over the silliness and I promote the truth. Censorship can never stop the truth. Lies and stereotypes can never inhibit the strength and power of real human beings and light will always expose evil. With our great advancements in genetics, technology, science, and mathematics, we should continue to inspire the youth to embrace the concept of MEST (or math, engineering, science, and technology). MEST is a creative expression of modern society and a key mode of any civilization. Power is what we need and it is not tyrannical when it's utilized in a proper designation. There is nothing wrong with power.
