Life in General

There is a crisis in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. We know that the neo cons and the Western establishment want to divide and conquer the Middle East for corporate interests (and for other globalist objectives). The West certainly has tensions with Iran for many geopolitical reasons. Now, the Western media in many circles have accused the Syrian government of launching a chemical attack in an areas east of Damascus that killed thousands of civilians. This is a similar accusation some had on Saddam Hussein who allegedly ordered a chemical attack in the town of Halaba in Southern Kurdistan (or a Kurdish territory killing more than 3000 people and more than 7000 injured). U.S President George H.W. Bush used the incident to justify an invasion when he said “The dictator who is assembling the world’s most dangerous weapons has already used them on whole villages, leaving thousands of his own citizens dead, blind or disfigured.”  Many doubts surfaced including a former Central Intelligence Agency senior political analyst and professor at the Army War College, Stephen C. Pelletiere who wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times in 2003 called ‘A War Crime or an Act of War?, he said: "...This much about the gassing at Halabja we undoubtedly know: it came about in the course of a battle between Iraqis and Iranians. Iraq used chemical weapons to try to kill Iranians who had seized the town, which is in northern Iraq not far from the Iranian border. The Kurdish civilians who died had the misfortune to be caught up in that exchange. But they were not Iraq’s main target..." The U.S. media is receiving reports from the Western backed rebels that accuse Assad for the atrocities committed by his government. They are using the information as a means to justify an invasion of Syria. However, RT news reported that there was evidence the attack was pre-planned according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Aleksandr Lukashevich who said “We’re getting more new evidence that this criminal act was of a provocative nature,” he stressed. “In particular, there are reports circulating on the Internet, in particular that the materials of the incident and accusations against government troops had been posted for several hours before the so-called attack. Thus, it was a pre-planned action.” Ironically, the Kurds (who Saddam Hussein was accused of murdering) are targeted by the same rebels in the north of Syria by Al-Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda front group and the Free Syrian Army.  RT news and other international news outlets reported that more than 450 Kurdish people including women and children were killed in the village of Tal Abyad near the Turkish border. The Western backed rebels accuse the Assad government of a chemical attack that allegedly killed hundreds of human beings. Russia believes that evidence suggests that the weapons were fired from the Western backed rebels (Russia claims that the weapons were fired from rebel held territory). Last March, the U.S. and Israel claimed that Syrian forces launched a chemical attack in the Khan al-Assal village, located north from the city of Aleppo. A Russian led investigation said that militants were behind the attack. It is not a secret that the U.S., Israel, and now France want the Syria to be removed of Assad and Syria potentially being balkanized to suit Western interests. NATO broke up Yugoslavia in the 1990's as well. The rebels have been heavily trained and supported by the West as a means to start a civil war in Syria. France wants a full scale invasion if chemical weapons were used in the attack. Also, the 2011 demonstration evolved into the civil war. There is nothing wrong with peaceful demonstrations. There is something wrong with rebels killing innocent Kurds, Christians, and Muslims though in Syria. The attacks in Lebanon are dividing many Sunnis and Shiites as well. Lebanon is having more violence while Egypt and Syria is having more civil wars or sectarian violence.  On Friday more than 42 people were killed and hundreds more injured as car bombs explode targeting 2 mosques in Tripoli, the largest city in Northern Lebanon.  There was also a car bomb explosion that targeted Southern Lebanon where Hezbollah members and supporters live.  It killed more than 20 people and injured well over 200.  The Lebanon based Daily Star reported that Lebanese President Michel Sleiman blamed Israel for the attack. A civil war in Lebanon will never benefit Lebanon, because its infrastructure is destroyed in the process. There has been a car bomb attack in the Beirut southern suburbs called Ruwaiss (which is a stronghold of Hezbollah. It killed at least 16 human beings and wounded over 200). A Sunni Islamist group calling itself the Brigades of Aisha is claiming responsibility for the deadly explosion in southern Beirut. The military dictatorship now in Egypt has harmed human rights now. On July 3rd, General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi and the Egyptian military removed President Mohamed Morsi in a coup that suspended the Egyptian constitution after ongoing public protests against the government of Morsi including the Muslim Brotherhood.  The British based newspaper The Independent reported that General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called for mass demonstrations to crack down on terrorists.  It was to justify military rule in wake of the overthrow of President Morsi. This can continue the confrontation between Egypt's military and the Muslim Brotherhood. It would be silly for a war to start with Iran by the neo cons and their allies. Iran is not Iraq. Iran has a stronger navy, army, air force, and infrastructure than Iraq. A war against Iran could ruin the whole region including Israel. It will be a disaster in the making if Iran was attacked.

 

We know the truth about politics in the world. George Zimmerman's unfortunate verdict raised the social consciousness of America. It made us aware of what is really important in life. The Supreme Court harmed parts of the Voting Rights Act signify that we have to fight for the democratic rights of black human beings. We still live in a land where crooked cops gun folks down in the streets of America. The system has been rooted in the brutal exploitation of the many for the few. It has been built on the bedrock of racial oppression from chattel slavery to wage slavery. The ruling class in America never granted humanity true revolutionary freedom in America. We are only granted concessions unless we fight for our freedom. Freedom is never granted voluntarily by the oppressor. It must be fought and demanded by the oppressed. We see Wall Street receiving trillions of dollars and tens of billions sent to the auto bosses, but the city of Detroit is never rescued with a federal government bailout that can help its public services (including its jobs, pensions, retiree health care benefits, city workers' benefits, etc.). We have the potential of Ray Kelly being the new Department of Homeland Security. Ray Kelly was the NYPD's architect of the notoriously immoral, unconstitutional stop and frisk program. He also set up the NYPD’s Demographics Unit, which has dispatched officers in the Northeast to spy on Muslims—fitting credentials for running the domestic “war on terror.” We still see drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and other places of the world during this current administration. Now, we realize that the liberal establishment exploited the 1963 march back then as a means to keep the lid on the mass, militant struggles for black rights in America (and to channel that struggle into the establishment Democratic Party). Now, the masses of the human beings in that march were sincere, strong, and intelligent. I wanted to make clear. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his very eloquent "I Have a Dream" speech there. It is very naïve to assume that the same Justice Department that leads a system of rampant racist police terror, frame up trials, and overflowing prisons will end the War on Drugs immediately. Attorney General Eric Holder is though trying to stop the voter suppression efforts in Texas since even Texas is going too far beyond its other policies. Just because I disagree with Stand Your Ground for reasons of advancing vigilantism (as the innocent young Brother Jordan Davis was murdered by Michael Dunn for no reason whatsoever) and being a throwback to old Jim Crow laws doesn't mean that I abhor self-defense. I agree with self-defense. It is immoral for the state to have a monopoly of arms for that will leave only criminals, vigilantes, and fascists to have those arms. So, the workers not only are to be mobilized to fight oppression. The poor should have their voices heard too. We have the right to disagree with poverty, unemployment, bad housing, bad education, and police brutality. We should continue to fight against poverty and not seek to love materialism (and view capital as God at the expense of the suffering in the world). Even in our community, there is a small minority with certain privileges while the rest of us suffer. We should be independents and not chained to the Democratic or Republican parties at all. We should be political independents as Malcolm X told us to be before he was unfortunately assassinated by reactionary extremists. We should use the events in the world as motivation to advance liberty for humanity and justice for our people. Justice is also for all humankind.

 

 

 

I respected the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of 1968 than of 1963. By 1968, Dr. King woke up a great deal about many issues. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. contributed a great deal to the social and political evolution of the United States (including the world). We realized that Dr. King advocated a peaceful world society and we have some in 2013 advancing drone attacks and reactionary neo-cons wanting a Western militaristic response against Syria. The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of 1968 acted courageously to champion human rights, fighting against inequality, and disagreeing with war. Then and now, the establishment heads up a nefarious military intelligence apparatus that orders assassinations, military aggression, and police measures at home (from COINTELPRO back in the day to the NDAA, the Patriot Act, government spying, etc. today). Unfortunately, many of our political leaders now from both major parties defend evil corporations, Wall Street banks, and the super-rich. Dr. Martin Luther Jr. acted like a man to publicly speak up against injustice and use mobilization including actions in the world to fight oppression. We can never exploit the sacrifice of our leaders as a means to win establishment political positions and seek greedy profits. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 to the evil, unjust, and tragic assassination of Dr. King in 1968 included a great deal of social changes in the world. The movement for justice has been reviled by the establishment, because they never wanted revolutionary changes in society (that would end their ruling class organs and their monopoly capitalist system system). The civil rights movement had legitimate grievances to oppose oppression. Many civil rights leaders organized in civil disobedience, the student sit-ins and Freedom Rides; the voter registration drives; and the struggles for jobs and against poverty. Still, the establishment wanted to co-opt the movement for social change as a means to get their agendas through. Even the Kennedy administration gave uneasy approval to the March on Washington, because the Kennedy administration was heavily moderate on the question on civil rights.  JFK was assassinated when he crossed that line and called for a civil rights bill. The March included grassroots folks of numerous backgrounds sincerely wanting justice mixed with more conservative elements of the leaders of the NAACP and the Urban League. Back then, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used his gifts to balance the more radical youth (and young workers) with the more conservative leaders of the movement. The SNCC and Malcolm X were more radical than Dr. King even back then. Dr. King wanted the Kennedy administration to end Jim Crow segregation in the South. When Kennedy was assassinated, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were passed. These new laws were some of the last acts of genuine social reform in the 20th century. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was correct to see that you have to deal with economic inequality and other social issues not just segregation. Dr. King began to choose a different path from beyond reform to radical action to end economic oppression. He opposed the Vietnam War. This caused him great opposition from the administration of Lyndon Johnson and the NAACP even. Just months before his assassination in April 1968, he launched the Poor People’s Campaign. King planned to build a movement uniting workers (and the poor of numerous backgrounds) in the fight for jobs and decent living standards. He began to denounce capitalism as the source of poverty and inequality. In a 1967 speech delivered in Atlanta, Georgia explaining his opposition to the Vietnam War, King advocated a “shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society,” warning, “When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, militarism and economic exploitation are incapable of being conquered.” In another 1967 speech he asked why there were 40 million poor people in what was then the wealthiest country in the world. “When you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth,” he said. “When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And … when you deal with this you begin to ask the question, ‘Who owns the oil?’ You begin to ask the question, ‘Who owns the iron ore?’” After Dr. King died, much of the civil rights movement shifted from the radical aims that Dr. King loved. Some of them loved the black capitalism token ethos as advanced by Richard Nixon. Nixon used the black capitalist model as an excuse to crush the progressive efforts of the Black Panther Party (not as a means to sincerely help all black human beings). Affirmative action is fine, but now affirmative action has been so cut back, that is not reaching the black community as it should. Now, we have multimillionaires at the expense of growing social inequality. The establishment and their agents never wanted to eliminate mass poverty. They wanted the securing of special, limited privileges for the very small minority of the African American population (as a means to curtail real revolutionary changes). Some even in our community strive for personal wealth and privilege by loving the cartel capitalist system. Some of them are self-promoters, corrupt politicians, and to overt servants of U.S. imperialism. Others are vicious opponents of democratic rights and advocate police state like policies. We know their names. Meanwhile, the income levels of black workers have fallen since Dr. King lost his life for the people. We have to be independent politically for the Democrats are just as much in league with the establishment as the Republicans overtly are (they are in league with U.S. banks and corporations. They serve the needs of the Western banks and corporations). We have the right to advocate social equality and democratic rights. We can never be real if we advance the capitalistic exploitation of our people. In the months before his death, King declared that the US had “committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world” and was its “greatest purveyor of violence.” There is an unbridgeable gulf between King’s struggle against imperialist war and Obama’s role as president. So, we are still fighting for strength. Wall Street should have personal responsibility when it committed crimes, drug running, gotten record bailouts, and other evils in the world spanning decades. Our struggle is a struggle for justice for the oppressed peoples of the world not just the workers. You can liberate all workers in the world and it will not mean a thing if the poor or the oppressed non-workers suffer. All humans deserve liberation. We can win and we will win. We have to outline our programs and do our work, because white supremacy is never omnipotent. Only God is omnipotent. If some of our people believe in that lie, then they view white supremacy as God instead of God being God (and black humans certainly have the power, the will, and the strength to develop our institutions. We have to own our resources more via self determination).

 

 

The residents of Detroit are opposing this situation in Detroit since many of them are saying that they have no democracy. Industrial decline and the harm done to urban black political power have harmed Detroit. We know that more than half of Michigan's 1.4 million Black resident still live under the rule of emergency managers. This reality has harmed the right to vote, have real goods, and has harmed collective bargaining rights. Michigan's Republican Governor Snyder appointed Kevyn Orr as the emergency manager for Detroit on July 18. Detroit according to many accounts has $18.5 billion in the hole, making this the largest of several recent bankruptcies declared by U.S. cities and counties. Governor Rick Snyder declared the city bankrupt under chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code. Those who will suffer under the bankruptcy will be the most painful ones will be Detroit's 21,000 retired city employees and its 9,000 current ones. "Everything they've been promised, both contractually and kind of a social contract, is being pulled out from under them. It's morally indefensible," Michael Mulholland, vice-president of Local 207 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees told journalist Jane Slaughter.  "I was told if I worked here I'd have a steady job and in my old age not be in poverty."  Mulholland's pension as a retiree is $1600 a month, not an income that can support a family, even in a city like Detroit where housing prices have plunged. There are other cities like Stockton, California that has filed for bankruptcy. In a court settlement this month, it forced its 1100 retirees to accept a lump sum of $5.1 million to compensate them for canceling their previously guaranteed medical insurance. If each retiree gets an equal share of about $4636, it would buy health insurance for only a year or two, at current prices.  In the U.S. there is no national health service, and people must buy insurance to pay the cost of medical care. The private sectors via huge U.S. corporations have tried to harm the obligations for pensions and healthcare for their retired workers. There is the recent case of the Patriot Coal Company. It was created by the mining giants Peabody Energy and Arch Coal. The Patriot Coal Company declared bankruptcy while its corporate creators continue to amass large profits. Patriot is responsible for the pensions and healthcare for 23,000 retirees and dependents, who previously worked for Peabody and Arch before the spin off. The new company now says it can't sustain the payments for the benefits workers earned over years of labor in the mines. Other cities have used bankruptcy laws to accomplish this end like Stockton and Vallejo in California. Even in Michigan via the Public Act 101 of 1988, it allowed temporary control of the cities. It ended contracts or benefits of employees back in 1988 when the Democrats controlled the legislature and governor's office. Then Public Act 72 in 1990 allowed the appointment of emergency managers to take control of school systems. By 2011, the Republicans took control over the Michigan legislature and the governorship. They passed Public Law 4. It was worse than the previous laws. It gave unlimited powers to the emergency managers who were appointed by the governor. This managers ruled local city mayors, school boards, and other public bodies. Governor Snyder ended collective bargaining rights and employee status for almost 26,000 childcare workers belonging to the United Auto Workers and AFSCME. There are emergency managers ruling over Detroit schools. The agenda of privatization is real. More charter schools have been growing in Detroit too. The voters even voted to repeal Public Law 4 in the 2012 election. The elite want to steal the pension benefits of those in Detroit even when it is illegal to do so. Industrialization in Detroit threw many jobs away into the ground. Some vehicle plants back then grew employment. Detroit grew to be a heavily African American city. It was once rivaling Washington, D.C. in its demographics of black human beings. Some checkerboard marches came in the 1930's as a means to unite Black and white workers (since tensions existed). Still, black Americans were discriminated against in Detroit. In 1950, folks lived in segregated neighborhoods. White residents worried that black newcomers would harm property values.  Black families had to fight racial covenants, redlining and hostile neighbors.   Many white residents fled to segregated suburbs in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Racial tensions grew in the 1960's. There was the race riot in June of 1943. On July 23, 1967, a police raid on an after-hours bar triggered one of the biggest riots in American history.  Conditions in inner city plants were the worst in the industry. Black and white workers often felt neglected by union leadership.  Now, most of Detroit's auto plants were closed. Half of folks living in poverty in the metropolitan region's population are living in poverty. There is high unemployment and high poverty. The eroding tax base has made it difficult for the city to supply basic services. Meanwhile, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr has announced that he plans to sell major Detroit assets, including Belle Isle Park, the largest public park island in the country, and the huge Water and Sewage Department, as well as cutting almost half the city's street lighting.  Many demonstrations are fighting for change. They want freedom from the managers controlling the city. One of them, Elder Helen Moore of the Keep the Vote No Takeover Coalition, founded in 1999 to combat the takeover of Detroit Public Schools, said, ”There is no reason to celebrate the Fourth of July, because Detroit is not free.  We have no democracy. Our school system has been practically destroyed by state takeovers. We are crying out today for freedom for our people, Black, white, and Latino. We don't do second-class citizenship very well." "When you hear that the service is terrible in Detroit," Herrada laughs, "imagine us raising our collective glass in cheer, because we did not come here to serve anyone."

 

 

 

As for the Jesuits and the rest of the Vatican, I disagree with their agenda completely. I have done so for many years. I continue to outline my dissent with Romanism now and forever. The leader of the Jesuit Order now is named Adolfo Nicolas SJ. He rules over the U.S. Jesuit provincials in the States. The Vatican leadership including the Jesuits advance spiritual deception at the expense of the lives of the human race. Jesuit James Grummer is a very close aid to the man Adolfo Nicholas. In our time, we should continue to advance truth (and realize that many groups like the Knights of Malta, the Pilgrim Society, the Skulls and Bones, the Bohemian Grove, and the Golden Fleece have huge power in the world as a means to enhance evil globalization and maintain the power structure). Freemasonry also deals with many deceptions in the world too as they teach deception in the Blue Lodges. It is still taboo to criticize the Vatican leadership in the world. The Jesuit influenced the growth of Mormonism too. It was the Jesuit Pierre Jean de Smet that assisted the Mormon Brigham Young. Mormonism copied much of its infrastructure from the Order of Freemasonry. That is why Joseph Smith was a Freemason and many rituals including symbolism from Mormonism derived themselves from Freemasonry. de Smet dealt with Mason Albert Pike. Albert Pike was a Confederate traitor and he was the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite. It is ashamed how a Confederate is considered a hero among Masons. A real shill will outline collective hatred against all those who are of Arabic or Jewish descent (which is about advancing the evil of anti-Semitism). Also, a real shill will always have collective hatred against blacks too. Anti-blackness has always been an agenda of white supremacy (since the enemy hates and is jealous of natural black melanin among black humanity. It is as simple as that. Melanin is very blessed and powerful entity. One of the final goals of the elite is the scapegoat black humanity, especially the most beautiful Creation of God on Earth, which are black women). The Jesuit Georgetown University has been a very strong focal point of agenda of the military industrial complex, corporate power, and harm done to the world. We know that the Jesuits have an influence in the history of the FBI and CIA then and now. Also, we should realize about the nefarious actions of British Intelligence now. The Jesuit supporter Cecil Rhodes believed in the bigoted lie that the British Empire had the divine right to the rule the entire world. Cecil founded the Rhodes Scholarship and he agreed with the wicked imperialism against the Motherland of Africa. The MI6 "intelligence officer" who dealt with the Nazis was named Group Captain Frederick William Winterbotham. The Nazis (when some of them were influenced by the Knight of Malta Franz von Papen including other reactionary Roman Catholics) via their wicked Shoah killed millions of Jewish human beings and non Jewish human beings. I disagree with Roman spiritual deception, because I believe in the reality that salvation is never done by works alone. I believe that a believer in God doesn't need wicked oaths or mundane, silly rituals to have redemption, but by the blood of the Lamb. I believe in the freedom of any human being to have the right to read the scriptures or any text in their own tongue. I believe in the separation of church and state that outlines true religious liberty and human justice. I believe in the freedom of conscience. I believe in the mind, body, and soul having value and this value comes from the Creator. I believe that humans are created equal regardless of their background or unique differences. I believe in hope and I believe in love. No man living in this Earth now should be called the Vicar of Christ or the Holy Father at all. That is blasphemy straight up. I believe in truth and that God is Just.
