Recently, leaders from Russia, India, and other nations have meet in China. Russia and China have been allies for decades and have a military and economic agreements. 2030 is near, and in the near future, the alliance among Russia and China will grow. The governments of Beijing and Moscow are allying in more secret ways. For example, China and North Korea are not heavily criticizing Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine. North Korean troops have been in Ukraine to fight against the Ukrainian people's right of self-defense. China has brought farmland near more than 30 U.S. military bases. Russia is building churches near European nuclear plants and security sites. Chinese owned U.S. farmland in 2020 is as large as 352,140. U.S. investigators have found Chinese made inverters with hidden kill switches inside American solar farms which can shut down parts of the U.S. grid. I don't have to spell it out. When the 2030s happened in the near future, we have to be prepared for whatever is coming. This is real, and stuff is coming. The hypocrisy of some fake "liberals" is they rightfully condemn the suffering of Palestinian people in Gaza (there is no question that Netanyahu is using overt war crimes in Gaza which has nothing to do with condemning the evils done by Hamas) but are silent of the Putin war crimes in Russia. You can't claim to be for human rights but have silence on Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, etc. Russia has kidnapped at least 19,456 children. Putin deliberately targe civilian locations daily in Ukraine. Putin has explicitly denied the Ukrainian identity.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is not like his progressive father. RFK Jr. has been a disgrace who not only attacked legitimate science. His policies will undoubtedly cause hurt to men, women, and children health wise. RFK Jr. said the lie that he can diagnose children by their faces, movements, and lack of social connection. You can't diagnose by just seeing people's faces which is anti-scientific. He claims that mitochondria presents challenges to the faces, movements, etc. which is not true. Robert Kennedy Jr. is a former heroin addict, has no medical degrees, zero background in healthcare, and has no major scientific training in medicine. Yet, Trump has picked him to head the Department of Health and Human Services. It is again part of Trump's hypocrisy to hire unqualified people in major cabinet positions but demonize qualified black leaders as "DEI hires" which is overt racism too. That is why many CDC members are legitimately outraged at the recent policies from RFK Jr. This comes after a murderer killed Officer David Rose after the murderer opposed the COVID-19 vaccines. Now, Senator Patty Murray is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. Robert Kennedy Sr. did things differently. Robert Kennedy Sr. supported vaccinations, he fought against racism and for civil rights, he promoted environmental justice, he was against unjust wars, and he wanted investments to build up American society. RFK Jr. should resign from the HHS.
Labor Day is very important to remind all of us that our rights as workers were gained by the actions of heroes and activists who desired economic justice for all people. This time is also a time to show appreciation to all workers. Many workers have taken care of us in getting us food from a restaurant, taught people, pick up trash, give us our mail, and went out of their ways to contribute massive positive acts in our society. All workers should be treated with dignity and respect along with having a living wage. We know about the protests on Labor Day that defend the rights of workers without desiring special privileges for billionaires. We are in for a great fight as Trump wants to end mail in voting and federalize voter ID law. There is a hypocrisy on Trump claiming to desire smaller government, but he has expanded the executive branch of government in huge ways. Historically, the states have conducted election affairs, but Trump wants to federalize election affairs for fear of the 2026 elections causing massive losses to GOP candidates. So, we must defend our voting rights with earnest and zeal.
People like us (who are 40+ years old) have lived through Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, and Biden. Yet, we have never seen anything like Trump. The Governor of Illinois and the Mayor of Chicago have been steadfast to defend their city against Trump's threat of using National Guard troops against Chicago. Now, some unidentified ICE agents have not only detained undocumented immigrants but numerous American citizens. Trump has targeted people who have expressed political dissent. One judge ruled that Trump's usage of National Guard troops in Los Angeles weeks ago was illegal. Trump made the lie that he is a pro-worker President, but the receipts show him to be the opposite. For example, Trump stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights. He reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contracts. He has gutted OSHA and frozen enforcement of a regulation protecting miners from lung disease. It takes a certain level of hubris and cruelty for a male to stop protections for miners. This is the anti-worker President. Now, we have the largest SNAP cuts in history drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. Such actions constitute sadism and cruelty against vulnerable populations. This is done to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich as trickle-down economics never work to radically improve the economy. CEO pay is up 1,085 percent since 1978 and worker pay is up just 24%. Millions of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck as they struggle to afford basic goods.
What happened to Umar Johnson? A thought came to mind immediately. The thought is that while God gifted him with wisdom and massive intelligence on issues of race, history, culture, Africa, and like-minded issues, he consciously chose narcissism and hedonism that currently prevents him from going into the next level of righteous conduct. Umar Johnson is right on many issues. He is right that black people globally should unite in Pan-African unity. He is right that Black is Beautiful, that Black Love is Beautiful, that black people should organize institutions that we own and control to better our conditions. Yet, he has on many occasions rejected monogamy and decide to live a hedonist life. He has numerous scandals involving relationships and money. He refused to take advice from other people who made successful Pan-African schools to educate the youth. Some of Umar's views are blatantly misogynistic. Umar believed that he could make the school by himself without advice or assistance. That isn't so as history teaches us. Any human being needs help and expertise from a diversity of people to get a major plan accomplished. Umar Johnson has attacked mainstream religion without making a distinction between faithful believers in God doing the right thing and others who do evil under the false veneer of "spirituality." Many people like Lenon Honor have condemned Umar Johnson for years in a near obsession. While critique of Umar on many issues is merited (especially on accountability on money for Umar's planned school), but we have to do more than criticize. We have to follow a plan of getting accurate information, of organizing for truth, and adhering to a moral code beneficial to black people collectively. Umar Johnson represents a lesson that getting dreams accomplished requires planning, sacrifice, preparation, and assistance (as no human is an island). That is the point.
