News One Day After the Superbowl

Folks have told what is necessary to be told. The Seahawks won. They showed who the better team was in an emphatic and potent fashion. The offense and the defense of Seattle outlined grit, strength, intelligence, and heart. There can be no minimizing of the power of the Seahawks now. Sherman did what he had to do and he acknowledged the greatness of his teammates as well. The Broncos were totally defeated and just beat down. The aggressiveness, the speed, and the relentless potency of football are all parts of the game. We knew that this would happen. Sherman's story and his resiliency once again refute the lie of black inferiority. This man Sherman is from the streets and is very intelligent. His story is our story since all of us overcame destabilizing circumstances in real life. The spirit of BLACKNESS is STRONGER THAN UNDUE HATRED. Everybody knows that Skip Bayless is arrogant and he feels really shocked to see the Seahawks vindicated. In retrospect, Sherman's words were massively tame as compared to the comments made by athletes among numerous backgrounds spanning years including decades. His comments were tame also as compared to the slurs and slanders he received from his detractors. There is a historical significance of this event too. Russell Wilson is the second quarterback of color to win a Super Bowl. Doug Williams was the first starting quarterback to win the Super Bowl. Russell Wilson is a great quarterback too. Russell Wilson displayed great judgment and fearlessness throughout the duration of the game. He made sure that his passes were accurately thrown and he is inspired by his late, strong father. Russel Wilson made better decisions, football intelligence, and more outstanding plays in the game than Peyton Manning (who is a great quarterback in his own right). The story of the Super Bowl certainly reminds us that the accomplishments of legitimate athletes ought to be respected. Just because a person may look a certain way, doesn't mean that person is a thug or an irrational human being. The team of the Seahawks should celebrate and acknowledge the sacrifice of their efforts. The Broncos just got totally defeated offensively and defensively. The Seahawks' players displayed great strength and outlined profound humility after the game. They have been throughout a lot of competition. They should receive their due props.

There is a growing fascism in the Ukraine and in many other areas of Europe. The violence is happening in the Ukraine now. Some of the protests deal with nothing more than expression of popular anger against a government. The fascism though is very similar to the fascism found in the fall of the Third Reich. The Ukrainian protesters are against the Ukrainian President Yanukovich's refusal to sign a trade agreement with the European Union. Many see this action to sign as a first step toward European Union. These protesters are mostly peacefully until January 17th when protesters were armed with clubs, helmets, and improvised bombs. Some of them executed violence against the police, stormed government buildings, beat anyone suspected of pro-government sympathies, and generally wreaked havoc in the streets of Kiev. There is the political formation of the Right Sector of Pravy Sektor. It is an umbrella organization of many ultra-nationalist or fascist reactionary groups. These groups include supporters of the “Svoboda” (Freedom) Party, “Patriots of Ukraine”, “Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian National Self Defense” (UNA-UNSO), and “Trizub”.  All of these organizations share a common ideology that is vehemently anti-Russian, anti-immigrant, and anti-Jewish among other things.  In addition they share a common reverence for the so called “Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists” led by Stepan Bandera, the infamous Nazi collaborators who actively fought against the Soviet Union and engaged in some of the worst atrocities committed by any side in World War II. There are Ukrainian political forces, opposition, and government continues to negotiate. There is another battle raged in the streets. The more fascist groups are using brute force, intimidation, etc. as a means to turn a conflict over economic policy and the political allegiances of the country to struggle for the existence of the survival of the nation. The fascists act more like Hitler's Brown shirts or Mussolini's Black shirts. There are images of Kiev burning, Lviv streets filled with thugs, and other chilling examples of chaos in the country. This proves that political negotiation with the Maidan (Kiev’s central square and center of the protests) opposition is now no longer the central issue.  Rather, it is the question of Ukrainian fascism and whether it is to be supported or rejected. The USA has come strongly on the side of the opposition regardless if some of the opposition are filled with fascists (not all of the opposition is like that though).  In early December, members of the US ruling establishment such as John McCain and Victoria Nuland were seen at Maidan lending their support to the protesters.  However, as the character of the opposition has become apparent in recent days, the US and Western ruling class and its media machine have done little to condemn the fascist upsurge.  Instead, their representatives have met with representatives of Right Sector and deemed them to be “no threat.”  In other words, the US and its allies have given their tacit approval for the continuation and proliferation of the violence in the name of their ultimate goal: regime change. The US-EU-NATO alliance wants to get Ukraine out of Russian sphere of influence. Now, fascists are causing violence in Ukraine. America for decades has supported fascist paramilitary regimes in Latin America. It has supported the fascist mujahedeen of Afghanistan. The mujahedeen later transmogrified into Al-Qaeda (who has reactionary ideologies). The mujahedeen was funded as a means to destabilize the then Soviet Union. We see that the West has support extremist jihadists in Libya and Syria as a means to cause regime change. The United States have a history of allying with reactionaries and fascists for geopolitical gain. Ukraine has been in existence for 25 years since their independence from the Soviet Union. Right wing extremism is a problem in Europe and threatens the democratic foundations of Europe. We see the fascists in Greece with their Golden Nazi that advance anti-Jewish, anti-immigrant, anti-women chauvinism, etc. (that the government of Athens is opposing). Greece suffered savage austerity measures imposed by the troika (via the IMF, ECB, and the European Commission). Their depression was as bad as or worse than the Great Depression in the United States. One Golden Dawn Nazi killed an anti-fascist rapper. They exploit the economic crisis in Greece. As with many fascist movements in the 20th Century, Golden Dawn scapegoats immigrants, Muslims and Africans primarily, for many of the problems facing Greeks.  In dire economic circumstances, such irrational hate becomes popular among evil human beings. These evil people view scapegoating innocent people as an answer to the question of how to solve society’s problems.  Indeed, despite Golden Dawn’s leaders being jailed, other party members are still in parliament, still running for major offices including mayor of Athens.  Though an electoral victory is unlikely, another strong showing at the polls will make the eradication of fascism in Greece that much harder. The pro-austerity People's Party wants draconian laws restricting protest and free speech and allowing repressive, police tactics in Spain. In France, the National Front Party of Marine Le Pen, which vehemently scapegoats Muslim and African immigrants, won nearly twenty percent of the vote in the first round of presidential elections.  Similarly, the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands – which promotes anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant policies – has grown to be the third largest in parliament.  Throughout Scandinavia, ultra nationalist parties which once toiled in complete irrelevance and obscurity are now significant players in elections.  These trends are worrying to say the least. The U.S. supported quasi fascist formations in Paraguay and Honduras. Of course, one should also remember that the protest movement in Russia was spearheaded by Alexei Navalny and his nationalist followers who espouse a virulently anti-Muslim, racist ideology that views immigrants from the Russian Caucasus and former Soviet republics as beneath “European Russians”.  Stepan Bandera wants Ukraine free of Russia, Jewish people, and others. These fascists are a threat to human civilization.

We are fighting against oppression in the world. We find the connedservative propaganda from Rush and others being ignorant, false, and irrational. We see the working class and the poor fighting back. Also, the reactionary movement include folks from the Tea Party, the corporate elite, and the retrograde, reactionary extremists too. We know that the reactionaries slander Dr. King then and now. There are a lot of myths about certain things. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. being slandered as a Communist has been promoted by the FBI with their COINTELPRO program. As for King's alleged Communist ties (let alone his alleged Communist commitments), the ONLY thing FBI surveillance has been able to uncover are associations of the SCLC with FORMER Communists: Stanley D. Levison and Jack O'Dell. King scholar David Garrow talks about this in his book BEARING THE CROSS. Both Levinson and O'Dell had abandoned (or been expelled from) the Communist party quite some time ago. FBI surveillance of those two men and of Dr. King himself was unable to turn up ANY active participation or funding between the Communist party and King's SCLC. The FBI's round the clock surveillance of Stanley Levison detected NO contacts with Communist agents. So, the fascistic political police of the FBI fabricated Communist paranoia as an excuse to try to discredit and suppress the Black freedom movement. Even if someone is a Communist, that person has the right to be one in a free and open society period. There should be the freedom of ideological freedom. The enemy always slanders our people. The truth is that Dr. King was not a Communist. He was revolutionary Christian, a socialist, and a supporter of liberation struggles of the oppressed both in America and abroad. Our struggle for LIBERATION is a noble one. Our movement inspired not only millions of African Americans, but others throughout the world. Our ancestors and relatives fought the evils of McCarthyite paranoia. The real movement for FREEDOM inspired women, the poor human beings, opponents of militarism, and others to advance the cause of freedom and social justice. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was involved in a progressive liberation movement. He did try to feed the hungry. He gave assistance to the poor and he advanced social justice for the poor and the oppressed. When you see connedservatives scream Communism at anything resembling positive change, then you see their lies being exposed. We don't need barbarous racism and kissing up to plutocratic agendas at all. There is the great inherent dignity of the human personality. I have no issue with a rebuilding of the Poor Peoples Movement to make justice in the world. We should fight against the dehumanizing evils of plutocracy and racism. Our faith should not be in either of the two corporate parties. We know the truth. The truth is that the explosion of the prison population in the States was inaugurated heavily by Ronald Reagan's programs. The War on Poverty was rightfully called a mere skirmish by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Poverty dropped by 50 percent. The War on Poverty was a skirmish as compared to Johnson's criminal war in Vietnam. It didn't increase poverty or radically explode the prison population in that era. The reactionary war on Drugs mixed with judicial and police racism expanded the racist prison industrial complex. For the crimes these reactionaries have committed against the Black community, they should be subject to a Nuremburg type trial point blank period. 

There have been polls that said that only the super-rich or wealthy like the Federal Reserve. There is a new Gallup poll that finds that only those making over $90,000 a year like Ben Bernanke's policies. The poll says that a majority of Americans living in households with annual incomes of $90,000 or more that 54% approve of Bernanke's performance as FED Chairman while 35% disapprove. Lower and middle income Americans show a closer divide between approval and disapproval, with general higher rates of no opinion. Bernanke and other officials at the Federal Reserve have said that the controversial quantitative easing program was created to help the overall economy. Critics say that it has only benefited the wealthy by boosting the prices of assets disproportionately owned by upper income Americans such as equities. The data from Gallup suggests that the wealthy were more aware and more appreciate of Bernanke's actions. The median household income in the U.S. is only $52,100 a year. Three-quarters of all Americans are in favor of auditing the FED to see what they are doing. The FED is an independent central bank. The Federal Reserve is a private bank that is privatized as well. Some want the U.S. Federal Reserve to be abolished outright. Most Americans want the central bank to be more accountable to Congress. Many economists want the FED to be severely reined in. Only 37 percent favor the status quo. We know that the Federal Reserve is corrupt. The FED threw money at several billionaires and tens of multi-millionaires like the billionaire businessman H. Wayne Huizenga, billionaire Michael Dell of Dell computer, billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, billionaire private equity honcho J. Christopher Flowers, and the wife of Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack. QE mostly benefit the rich and hurt the little guy as confirmed by former high level FED officials. The architect of Japan’s quantitative easing program and several economists has confirmed the errors of QE. The FED has admitted that one of its main goals is to boost the stock market. Professor G. William Domhooff demonstrated that the richest 10% own 81% of all stocks and mutual funds (or the top 1% own 35%). The majority of Americans or the bottom 90% own less than 20% of all stocks and mutual funds. So the Fed’s effort overwhelmingly benefits the wealthiest Americans. The FED's focus on battling inflation has stalled the economy and prevented lending to Main Street. The FED has been bailing out foreign banks more than Main Street or the American people. The foreign banks bailed out by the Federal Reserve include Gaddafi's Libyan bank, the Arab Banking Corp. of Bahrain, and the Banks of Bavaria, Korea, and Mexico. The FED also bailed out wealthy corporations including hedge funds, McDonald's, and Harley Davidson.

Many award shows act as almost rituals. The 2014 Grammy Awards is no exception. The Grammys reflect the view of modern society among the elite. The award ceremony has been financed and supported by the elite. We know that certain artists have been restricted, omitted, and some artists won awards that ere controversial to say the least. That is why the intelligent, Beautiful Sister India Arie told the truth about the Grammys. The Grammy Awards these years has been overt in pushing an occult agenda and an agenda with controversial performances. Many folks are talking about Katy Perry performance in which it is similar to a witchcraft ritual disguised as just a regular act (and Beyoncé’s controversial performance). There were other musicians there like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, and Metallica performing live. There were younger artists performing like Beyoncé, Katy Perry, and Macklemore. In such awards shows, there is symbolism. There are specific messages, and agendas promoted in the whole situation too. Many folks have a skeptic attitude about Grammys because of their biases and because many of the performances seem off or possess a blatantly occult quality to them. There is the Beyoncé’s Drunk in Love performance. Many researchers believe that her clothing is similar to the Beta programming (including Monarch programming symbolism in her album). She is dressed in a leotard dancing with her husband. She looks similar to her role in the video called Partition. Many folks supported her performances and others raised reservations about the suggestive performance at the Grammys, the lyrics, and the song being shown at 8pm. (when many children are up looking at it). Her performance was similar to her visual album, which has shown tons of controversial, suggestive videos. She shouldn't be called every name under the sun (the Sister should be treated with dignity and with respect as I have always written and said), but we should make sure that sexuality is not exploited in the eyes of our children. Katy Perry's performance deals with witchcraft themes. One voice in the start of the performance said that: "...She casts spells from crystal balls. Invoking spirits. She put me in a trance..." Katy Perry is in a crystal ball. She sings while four horned demon like figures rise above her. They have Baphomet like horns. Katy gets out of the crystal ball moves around her backup dancers remotely controlled them like they were under her spell. The song and performance deal with folks under occult possession not about love. The song is reflection of how society loves the occult. She wears a Templar cross and summons a bluish colored horse. Such a horse is similar to the horse found in the Denver International Airport (which is a placed filled with various Masonic & occult symbolism). A circle of fire surrounds her. The horned figures watch over her. The witch's broom turned into a stripper pole. We know that the Knights Templar were a group of priest warriors. They were accused of magic rituals and other things. There is a debate on whether they influenced the creation of Freemasonry, the Bavarian Illuminati, and other occult orders. We know that Crowley's O.T.O deals with such rituals. Continuing in the exact same vein as Perry’s  magick-themed performance, the Grammy’s were also used to promote the latest Disney movie “Maleficent." The movie deals with a horned evil witch from Sleeping Beauty. The movie has the witch place a curse on baby Aurora and this is promoted to children. The trailer ends with Maleficent saying: "...There is evil in this world. Hatred. And Revenge … HAHAHAHAHAH!” There are other ceremonies in the Grammys as well filled with a mock church, etc. So, we know that Grammy Awards those accepted to the mainstream industry. The establishment wants the youth to accept this propaganda of the exploitation of human sexuality, of selfishness, of greed, of materialism, of glamorizing the occult, and the glamorization of other detrimental concepts too.
