Hightower: Why Obama and Dems Seem Incapable of Taking a Firm Stand on Anything

By Jim Hightower, AlterNet
Posted on March 11, 2010, Printed on March 13, 2010
http://www.alternet.org/story/145977/

You know what we need to juice up the performance of our weak economy? Viagra.

Yes, America needs a new Viagra, specifically targeted to stiffen backbones -- in particular, the limp backbones of Barack Obama's team, as well as the flaccid spines of Democratic congressional leaders. Where's the drug industry when we really need it?

AMERICA MUST READ THE EMERGENCY OF THE TIMES!!!

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

IMPORTANT AND SERIOUS!! Rush Limburgh has announced, on his radio show, that he would like to leave America as it is today. All good Americans must assist his leaving by providing a fund for his departure!!!

 

 

 IMPORTANT AND SERIOUS!!! The November 2010  elections are even as important to America’s recovery and survival as the elections of 2008 where Obama was elected President. All good Americans must make the same level of effort to turn out the vote as they did in the elections of 2008!!

 

NOTE: The Keith Olberman, Rachael Maddow and the Public Relations Team of Obama must do it’s patriotic duty and make this effort live again!!!

Why We Need to Have Empathy for Tea Party Lunatics

By Michael Bader, AlterNet
Posted on March 2, 2010, Printed on March 6, 2010

VOTING IN AMERICA CAN BE IMPROVED BY SOME SIMPLE CHANGES!!

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

The status of voting among many groups of Americans, especially  African Americans, needs to be raised above an event that comes with intense advertising, and gala events, to one of a Social, Moral, and Civic Duty as required American Citizen activities. (Aaron Blake, Dems ponder drop in black voter turnout, THED HILL, 10/14/09)  This requirement must be conveniently placed in the services to which some other Citizen needs are tired. Further, Voting must be made convenient and easy. The voting window must extend over a month for a position. One day voting must be a thing of the past!!

Voting in America has been deliberately made difficult for certain groups of citizens. For example the location of voting places were established in geographical location where Blacks and poor people would have a hard time getting to. Further, things as the poll tax and denial of women and Blacks to vote completely, have been common place. Therefore, it is time for voting to be made extremely convenient but save and free of fraud.

The activities around voting inequality has developed in certain groups of Americans, the expectation of great difficulty and a tendency to avoid voting completely. This is what we see in the way Blacks have to be almost driven to the polls. Blacks expect it to be a hard task to vote. In fact at times Blacks were killed in the act of voting which went unpunished by the Authorities. Today it tales Radio Shows, OPRAH, marches, Church Ministers, dances, Caribbean Cruses, Chicken and fish cook outs and much, much more to get Black to the polls! Just observe how much Brilliant Public Relations and money it took to get Obama elected!! All of this effort was necessary to over come the instilled behavior of Blacks to place voting at the bottom of their things to do as a public civic responsibility.

Now contrast that with the resent voting by Black in the places where neither special expense nor events were made to move Blacks to this activity. Mitch Landrieu Republican was elected the mayor of New Orleans in February 2010 in a landslide victory. This demonstrated that without the extreme efforts seen in the Obama election Blacks are not moved to cast a vote for anyone!! (Clifford Bryan, Mitch Landrieu elected mayor of New Orleans- black voter turn out low, New Orleans Conservative Examiner, February 6, 10)  (The Gantt, Report, Pensacola Voice, February 2010) But there are things that can be done to turn this voting road block around!

For example, What if all people trying to get Federal Funds to attend College had to demonstrate that they were a registered voter and had voted in all regularly schedules elections for which they were qualified (i. e. Presidential, Congressional, Governor, etc)! Voter registration should be made as convenient as such other activities as Automobile license and registration, graduation from High School, Food stamps, and Welfare for adults, and etc. Americans who have served time in prison should be routinely and conveniently provided their Voter registration cord after being given a short lesson in the value of voting and how to vote (No test required)!! In addition, the use of “Absentee Balloting” and the “voting by mail” must be increased to fit it potential usefulness!!!

These requirements in the laws could be done as attachments, amendments or riders on some pieces of popular legislation.

AMERICAN RELIGION MUST RETAKE IT’S IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF MORAL MILESTONES FOR OUR LEADERS!!

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED). 

The institution of Religion is not living up to its primary function of carrying the banner of the value of the human species and a living philosophy! It is using fear and emotion to enhance its fortune by making profits that rival that of private industry.

            It is sad to see that religion is using it position to provide mystery to the lives of humanity. This is so obviously true went we see that the natural universe is so vast in poorly understood that is provides all the mystery humans need. If it is God's universe then he has provided a natural universe with enough mystery and unknowns that many generations to come will not be able to find our the answers to all he has provided. Out records show that humans have uncovered only about four percent of the matter and energy that exists in the universe.  The erect of the matter and energy is relegated to what is labeled "Dark Matter" and "Un-known Energy!!' (Greta Christina, Why We Don't Need Religion to Give Life Mystery, AlterNet.org, February 12, 2010, February 12, 2010,       http://www.alternet.org/story/145644/)

            Don't get me wrong; we need some mystery to keep humans thoughtful and productive! Mystery -- unanswered and unanswerable questions -- are a central part of what makes us human. Without it, our life would be bleak and empty, with a yearning that can never be satisfied... because there's nothing left out there to satisfy it. But Religion should serve to protect humans against those excessive that tend to be self-destructive. Morality and the transcending value of humans above all other carbon based unites is the domain of our Gods of good will.

            Therefore, both Religion and Scientific thinking has its mutually exclusive valuable institutions in our civilized society. We need to ask ourselves, "What would humans do if there were no guidance of any institution that taught the behaviors that made it immoral to kill, or steal, or do those other forbidden things laid down in the Christian Ten Commandments?" Both Religion and Science holds important positions in our civilized society. However, Religion has taken the tact that the mystery is so important that their presentations are far too many times walking into superstitious thin ice and the ridiculous territory of magic and ridiculous. It is not necessary for a human to believe that humans can ride on clouds and walk on water to believe that to live contrary to the ten commandments will result in the ultimate destruction of it's own kind and the habitat in which it must live!!!

            It seemed that Obama was planning to provide a leadership, which carried the tenants of Christianity that held humans as most important, and that his actions would be against what was fazed as the evils of immoral people and institutions. Without This Obama would have no compass to reach a better American society and correct all the amoral and evil conditions which brought us to near destruction. In fact no matter what type of government a nation has (i. e. Democracy, Communist, Dictatorship, Socialism, Theocracy, etc, ) a bad, intellectually Challenged, evil leader would bring it to its knees!! However, some forms of government are more resistant to the destruction by a bad leader than others. Our American democratic Republic has proven to one of them!! The G. W. Bushes, Nixons, Ragan, and Herbert Hoovers have demonstrated that. This is the value of having a “Religion” that provides the philosophy that placed human a value above all other institutions and forces.

 

                     

                                                                                                                                            ???????????????

But it seems that Obama has made the mistake in thinking that he could keep the evil things and people that has made mayhem and reaped havoc. Obama new deal has become in question. Steve Fraser wrote. On March 4, 1933, the day he took office, Franklin Roosevelt excoriated the "money changers" who "have fled from their high seats in the temples of our civilization [because...] they know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers.  They have no vision and where there is no vision, the people perish." This suggests that no one can do well by making evil his or her companion! Because Obama under the banner of Bipartisanship lay down with the evil ones, the great expectations of 2009s’ campaign are beginning to smell like a pile of dead fish. The new rhetoric -- including populist-style attacks on villainous bankers that sound fake (or cynically pandering) when uttered by Obama's brainiacs -- layered on top of the pile like deodorant.

History has proven that if you do not remove a cancer it will continue to grow larger and in the end destroy the whole body. The story goes that God said in Sodium and Gomorra, “If you can find one person that is free of sin and worth saving he would spare the whole city>’ Finding none the evil was destroyed. This is Obama’s prime directive. He has to be a super FDR and destroy the American Financial System that has brought it to this hellish precipice!!

WHO DAT,” DOES BAD ENGLISH BECOME GOOD ENGLISH WHEN IT MAKES MONEY???

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Who wouldder thought, the phase “Who Dat” a phase attributed to African American Entertainers of the old movie pictures becoming a national and international two words used by more people than any public viewing audience.

            Yes, the comedy went like this, Tow ignorant bad talking African Americans bottom lips hanging down, eyes bucked talking in a state of fear while in a supposedly haunted house, “Who dat-who dat say who dat when I say who dat” and so own it goes.

Now here is the most widely ever viewed TV NHL game in history having millions of people (MSNBC 106.5 million) chanting in great enthusiasm and cordiality, “Who Dat” all over the world!! OH! What a powerful vehicle this modern day Public Relation Advertising Machine is. It was too much to see how this powerful advertisement machine could get a African American elected to the office of President of the United States, proving how it could overcome four hundred years of Blacks fighting unsuccessfully to be Equal and free. It did it in one year (and God give me back my America!!!). Then to have the NFL stage and sell the public the comfort in using this phase of the worst English ever is nothing more than a step at being as power as God himself!! The full phase used for the game was, “Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?” (Paul Newberry, Who dat? Archie's boy waiting for Super Saints, The Associated Press, 2010)

The phase was so profitable that it is now being litigated is to who owns this example of bad English Who Owns "Who Dat?" A Reporter alleged that, “If you were born and raised in Louisiana... we all thought it was our birthright, so to speak!  You know... the ol'  "Who Dat" slogan.  But not so according to the NFL! The NFL has issued a "cease and desist" order to all businesses carrying gear with the famous Saints phrase.  But does "Who Dat" even have an owner?  The Secretary of State's office says that will probably be detemined once the Superbowl is all said and done--by the courts.  What do you think?  Should the NFL have exclusive rights to the phrase "Who Dat?"  Or is it ours to use as we please in Louisiana?”

 

Step-and-fetch-it” and Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson of the Jack Benny Show better watch out or they will be ripped off of an insulting character that had made Blacks fit a negative stereotype for generations.

 

 

Yes, we all are just Americans when we are making some money.

SELLING HAITIAN CHILDREN BY THE CHILD AND BY THE HUMAN ORGAN!!!

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Just when you think that “Capitalism American Style” has reached it ultimate low another low is seat. In Haiti the children are being trafficked not only for the money to be made off the adoption business, it reported that business people are also taking them for their human organs!! (

Alex Ogle, Haiti holds Americans accused of child trafficking,

ABC News

 

, Jan 31, 2010)

 

            It was calculated that if you sold a Haitian child organ by organ you could make money off 2 kidneys $20,000.00 a piece, a liver $250,000.00, a heart $560,000.00, a spleen, eyes, skin and so on it goes. Then how much does a filet of Haitian cost at the table? Therefore, if harvested right one little Haitian child could make you a million dollars. It is only business. This is as gruesome as any inhuman business can get!

The Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Belle said in an exclusive interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Trafficking of children and human organs is occurring in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated parts of Haiti, killed more than 150,000 people, and left many children orphans, Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said Wednesday. \"There is organ trafficking for children and other persons also, because they need all types of organs,"

How low will a humans go for the all mighty buck??

CAPITALISM IS MAKING THE ADAPTING OF HAITIAN CHILDREN A MONEY MAKING TRAGEDY!!

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Haiti has brought Americans a situation that deserves the emotion and human attention that is clearly being provided. However, in all this clearly good assistance, the ugly head of profit and greed has been raised! The profit and greed of using children to make money has become an American amoral activity and a Haitian tragedy! (By Cheryl Cornacchia, Quebec holding new Haitian adoption requests over child smuggling fearm Canwest News Service, January 19, 2010) The reported cost to adapt a Haitian Child ranges from $3,000.00 to $50,000.00 per child. Private and nonprofit agencies alike are using this resource of a tragedy to add funds to their coffers. ( How Much Does a Domestic Adoption Cost?,  

 

Haiti has experienced the natural disaster of an earthquake that has left many, many children dead or orphaned. American citizens are responding to this emotional need for foster and adapting parents by bringing children to the main land for adoption. But in all this tremendous good activity e business of “money making through this process” is making some evil consequences. (Aid organization urges temporary moratorium on newly instigated adoptions Protecting, tracing and reuniting children with relatives must be first focus >> MISSISSAUGA, ON (CNW))

It is reported that some agencies and individuals are going to Haiti and taking children off the streets and literally selling them to waiting Parents in the US! UNICEF said. “Children are going missing from hospitals in Haiti, raising fears that the youngsters are being trafficked for adoption abroad in the wake of the January 12 earthquake . . . .” Some of these children have been separated from tie parents who are alive and look for them in all the rubble and chaos. Haitian children have become like the number of animals you would find in any local animal shelter in the US.

Even as this process is preceding a complete system of follow-up of these children has not been established. How many of these children are being sold to pedophiles, child abusers,  perverts and at times used as servants! These children are not pets with big adorable bright eyes and destine to become an animal adoption campaign to some needy person who wants a pet that is a step above a poodle dog or bed warmer.

AMERICANS LOOSE FIGHT TO CUT OUT CAMPAIGN BUYING BY BIG MONEY, PART TWO!!!

(WRITTEN 2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

The Supreme Court in a five to four vote changed the campaign financing laws (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission) to allow corporations, agencies, and other to invest unlimited funds in the election of national candidates. (Greg Palast, The Supreme Court Just Handed Anyone, Including bin Laden or the Chinese Govt., Control of Our Democracy, AlterNet, January 22, 2010, http://www.alternet.org/story/145354/) 

To make this alarming to both the far right and the ultra liberals this means that China can buy American elections and even sell special services to others!! (Greg Palast, Manchurian Candidates: Supreme Court allows China and others unlimited spending in US elections,AlterNet , January 21, 2010) 

This was a victory for The Health Care Industry, Exxon-Mobil, China, Iran and all other nonvoter entities. ( The Man Who Took Down Campaign Finance Reform, Mother Jones, The common voter has lost their ability to have a special advocator for their interest. In fact the court says that corporations must n be treated as “individual natural humans, i.e . humans!” (Scott Klinger, The Bush-Packed Supreme Court Thinks Corporations Are People Too, AlterNet, January 22, 2010)   This ruling may as well have made these corporations citizen with the right to cast a vote as provided for in the constitution of the United States for any citizen. Even the unions and common Causes cannot equal the financial resources that other nations and multinational corporations have to get their Special Interest done over the will of the American voters. The 1.6+ millions dollars a day that the Health Care Industries are presently spending to lobby against The Health Care Revisions will pale in comparison of the money that now is allowed by the Court Ruling today.

Most importantly this is an indication that this war between the government of, by and for the people is being won by the corporations that are of, by, and for the CEOs. 

 RULES NEED TO BE PUMAGAED FOR CORPOEATE INVESTMENT IN ELECTIONS UNDER THE NEWS RULING OF THE SURPREME COURT:

1.      When a Corporation invest a certain percentage of a parties election funds that any Political Party" must take on the official name of that corporation.

2.      When a corporation invests a certain level of funds in the lobbying for a Special Interest the bill must take on the name of the corporation that profits form the legislation.

3.      The Military Industrial Complex must not be allowed to invest money in any elected official who is in charge of allocations for the specific product, they may be manufacturing.

4.      Any funds paid directly to any elected official or their campaigns must be labeled as “Payola” if it exceeds a set level.

5.       Penalties must be set for corporations that are found to lobby for interest of foreign countries or agents that are known to be enemy combatants with fines and jail penalties for all proven violators.

6.       Any corporation or CEO found to conduct criminal acts that involve investments in special interest that do national harm must be punished severely by jail, forfeiting their wealth, and death according to the intensity of the act(s).

7.      Any corporation found to be avoiding paying taxes by taking their profits out of the country must be punished by the confiscation of their wealth and the jailing of their CEOs.

8.      All investments to any party or candidate must be logged in and any party may spend make public before these funds.

9.      Any investments made by corporations that affect negatively national security must be confiscated and the CEOs making these donations jailed,

10.  Any elected official moving directly from an elected position to a corporation after sponsoring special interest legislation, must be jailed for their

11.  All corporations must make their contributions and declare their source to a party or candidate at least one year before an election cycle.

12.  Any investment above a set amount must be proved to have been voted on by the stockholders of the corporation.

13.  Any special interest legislation financed against the nation interest and safety must be investigated and the guilty parties/corporations punished by jail, loss of wealth, and/or both.

14.           Impeach the Chief Justice for contempt of congress

15.  .etc.

 

Precedence must be set in this administration that punishment of Bankers, and Wall Street fat cats will be done by bringing these people to trial and handing out punishment here needed!!

HAITI 2010 SAME AS HAITI 1800!!

(WRITTEN,2010)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

One of the gravest and most evil sins committed by America today is to actively force the Haitians people to stay on a nonproductive, land locked, island and slowly starve to death. America by the use of its superior political, military, and armorial power, supported by our so-called Christian Religious Industrial Complex is deliberately keeping a people confined in an inhuman land mass. (Carl Lindskoog, AlterNet, Haiti Didn't Become a Poor Nation All on Its Own -- The U.S's Hidden Role in the Disaster, AlterNet., January 15, 2010.)

      Haitians are the slaves, who were brought from Africa. Docked in an interim station and finally left by their enslavers to starve and suffer. America has become the latest keeper of this group of unfortunate humans on a “Prison Island.” (Robert Parry, Haiti's Tragic History Is Entwined with the Story of America, Consortium News., January 14, 2010.)

          Haiti's regional, historical, and ethnolinguistic position is unique for several reasons. It was the first independent nation in the Caribbean, the first postcolonial independent  Black nation in the world, and the only nation whose independence was gained as part of a successful slave rebellion. For this they have been punished by keeping them in a state of land locked servitude and poverty. Haiti is the only predominantly French Speaking nation in the Caribbean, and one of only two in  North American  nation (along with Canada) which designate French as an official language; the other French-speaking North American countries are all  overseas.

Unlike Cuba there is no policy that will allow Haitians to come to American. If they do come as boat people, they are caught at sea and promptly taken back to Haiti! Haiti's approximately 9 million citizens have expressed many times that they would like to be a territory or state of the United States. It is not the numbers of Haitians that causes the U. S. the problem. It is Haiti's ethnic population of 95% Black, 5% Mulatto, and a few whites. (James Ridgeway, How Bush-Cheney Policy Screwed Haiti, Jan. 13, 2010)

    Come on America fess up and do the right thing!!! Haiti is a tragedy of America’s making and the present day problems only serves to assent the extent of this longstanding cruel and “American Racist” policy of boycott!

PRAVDA

A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The calf was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed Cesarean section on the animal to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the features of the calf’s snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.

STORY

  ELECTION YEAR 2010 IS THE YEAR WHERE AMERICA MUST CLEAN UP THE NATURE OF IT’S POLITICS!!

(WRITTEN January 1, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

My fellow Americans, elections 2010 year is the critical cycle in which we must work hard to clean up and refocus the way we conduct our political business and the expected, accepted character of our political leaders.  The unchallenged use of lies, fear, emotions, incivility, racism, sexism, must be systematically fought at every opportunity. On January 2, 2010 a headline read, “Political Climate Changing Against Democrats!” It should have read, “Political Climate Changing Against Politicians of bad Character!”

In addition, our politicians are the number one supporters of America’s preoccupation with “Stupidly!” In fact they deliberately enhance and exploit it at every opportunity. The phase “Common Sense” I has been made a synonym to “Stupidly” in order to make the public feel comfortable with remaining uninformed and uneducated!! The voter is told many times, “Don’t let the eggheads, elite, college people make you feel that you do not know something. We are just using our “Common Sense!”

For example, Americans can and must make it a critical unforgivable error for the lies being told and accepted as an expected, tolerated activity of a politician. Lies are hurtful and unacceptable, therefore, for politicians as they are for everybody else and one of the gravest of the “Seven Deadly Sins” which include, Greed, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Sloth (the seven recognized deadliest sins according to the classics)! Further, breaking of the Judo- Christian morals embodied in the Ten Commandments (ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me. TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image. 'THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. 'FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'SIX: 'You shall not murder.' SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.' EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.' ) and in violation of America’s laws against perjury must also be applied to politicians. Then there is the act to show our political leaders that adultery and evil is as abhorrent in a politician as it is in the voters and American citizen at large. Punishment must be swift and appropriate for the violations. Maybe stoning, cutting hands off, tar and fathering, lock up, and hanging should be done with great frequency!!

            There needs to be provided a firm definition of the fact that unless there is some tenantable evidence that a deliberate lie is being told. The positions of providing bad information based on a condition of having a position of “plausible deniability” (e.g. a bad memo or other written material) will not be acceptable.

            A solid list of people of proven honesty must be established by their demonstrated acts of “Busting” a liar regardless if their public stature. This list must include such proven people as Rachel Maddow, Crist Mathews, Kieth Oberman, CSPAN, Rev Jackson, Congressman Hasting, Gnatt Report. Frankly Speaking, Huffington, etc.

American citizens of limited resources can themselves research, Google, yahoo, then strike, strike, and strike again by posting through blogs and letters and articles, ads, signs, soap box stands, and any other medium necessary!!!

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

The democrats have voted to bring the Health Care Reform Bill to a vote on Sunday, December 20 when they mustered 60 Democrats votes necessary to avoid a Phi buster by the Republicans. (Erica Werner, Morning Votes Nudge Health Care Bill Forward, AP, SPHERE, 12/23/2009)  This vote was hard fought and not without some remarkable and sad antics by the Republicans and Democrats. There was no Statesmanship among the Republican rabble. They were barbaric cutthroat, back ally, southern style, politicians of the worst character!

There was an instance where a Republican provided a prayer from the podium that asked for Senator Byrd to die before the next vote was taken. Senator Al. Franking gave a presentation, which was interrupted frequently by Republicans “Farting” into their microphones and “cat calls” during his delivery. Frankin also took the unusual action of denying Liberman’s request for one more minute to finish a presentation he was making to prolong the proceedings. The Republicans had a 700-page document read into the record for the purpose of slowing down the vote on the bill. And so on it went. Congresspersons from both sides of the isle were openly bargaining for handout for their vote on the issue!

However, a vote was finally taken resulting in the moving forward the most insane, convoluted, Health Industry Entitlement Bill in the history of bad legislation for the country!

This bill sat the stage for the many Ponz/Pyrimide schemes of and for Private Health Industries and will serve as enabling and establishing in epic proportions a legal monopoly in defiance of the existing Anti Trust Laws and philosophies. This is essentially an entitlement bill for the Health Care Industry, which will be paid for by the already dissolving Middle Class Americans. There was a visible absence of any ‘Public Option” or “method" to provide competition for the Private Health Industry.

Ironically this resulted in political wins for both Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats will be able to position their record as a "doer and promise keeper" for the 2010-2012 elections and the Republicans will be able to provide their party with the demonstrated ability to fight and win the profits for Private Industry, which is their primary objective at all times!

However, this is not over. The democrats have one more chance in “Bill Reconciliation Process” to add back some semblance of a "Public Option” to create competition and relief for the American citizen. (Scarecrow and Jon Walker, Obama's Senate Health Care Bill: A "Uniquely American" Idiocy (and 35 Ways It Can Be Fixed), December 22, 2009)
Fellow Americans these are serious, dangerous, and scary times. The future of our nation and the world is depending on how American conducts this Democratic Republic experience.

Americans should thank God for Obama, who demonstrated the highest level of Statesmanship. He laid the politician role aside and took on the Statesman’s role of national and international concern!

AFGHANISTAN WAR FOR OIL PROFITS!!!

LESS WE FORGET!

(WRITTEN August 18, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

           

It seems that Americans have settled on the fact that the war in Afghanistan is a most necessary must do "Patriotic War.” But what is this war really being fought for.

      As quite as it is kept and hard as it is to remember, America Oil Companies have a prime Business objective the construction of oil pipe line across the country of Afghanistan. However, reason for this continuing war on Afghanistan soil had been sold by the administration as a war to stamp out the Acadia group and to get Bin Laden!! An article by Bill Sardi reminds us that the oil line is still the primary reason for America being in this war. Sardi reports in part, “Testimony before the US Congress is circulating on the internet. It pertains to a proposed oil pipeline through Central Asia that is applicable to the current war in Afghanistan.”  (Bill Sardi, Is an Oil Pipeline Behind the War in Afghanistan?, LewRockwell.com, October 15, 2001)

On February 12, 1998, John J. Maresca, vice president, international relations for UNOCAL oil company, testified before the US House of Representatives, Committee on International Relations. Maresca provided information to Congress on Central Asia oil and gas reserves and how they might shape US foreign policy to fit the notion that the UNOCAL's oil line problem is not the reason for the war but that the reason for the war is a moral and national safety issue!!.  Therefore, in 1998 Osama Bin Laden was identified as the villain behind the Taliban, Afghanistan women the victims of an oppressive Taliban regime, and the stage was set for a future stabilization effort (i.e. a war). The tear jerking issue of women's rights were introduced into Congressional testimony by Congressman Rohrbacher as the wedge for UNOCAL to build its pipeline through Afghanistan. This was all a cover story for a future oil pipeline construction for private profit.

            Obama has inherited this war and is overpowered to show his support and to work for it continuation. Here again Americans are being lied to by the continuing support of this war by Obama. Bush and his Administration have laid a foundation that is lasting far beyond their demise. When and where does this cancerous Bush Mega machine stop being a driving force in America's life?

10 Ways to Screw Over the Corporate Jackals Who've Been Screwing You

LET US VOTE OUT THE SPECIAL INTEREST CONGRESSPERSONS-LET THE HEALTH CARE REFORM PUBLIC OPTION VOTE BE OUR GUIDE!!

(WRITTEN December 15, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

These next two weeks of December 14 –30, 2009 are the most critical weeks may be in the resent history of America's Democratic Republic history. Never before with the possible exclusion of going to war has the American voter given an elected Congress so clear a mandate as that of reforming Health Care in America. The voter expected in the magnitude of his vote and the pursing polls that the present private Health Care Industry must be provided some competition by creating ”Public Insurance” option run by the Federal Government! There is no doubt that the way America's Congresspersons create and vote the present Health Care Legislation is an indicator of their dedication to up holding the expectation of them providing services of, by, and for the people that voted them into office.

            This is the classic “Litmus” test for the moral and honest executions of the sown duties of an elected official. It is a simple easy to see issue, “Are our elected officials in office to legally carry out business of, by, and for the people or are they in to do as they as please and in the mean time collect pay-offs for their support of Private Interest of The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Insurers?” Lieberman (received abut $400,000.00) and Boyd (received about 125,000.00) are two glaring example of the way some of our elected officials choose to do business for Private Special Interest in stead of business of and for the voters. Both of these Congressman have been reported to have received large amounts of money followed by the casting of their votes against the competition that a Public Option in the Health Care Reform Legislation that would bring affordable Health Services to more people.

            Moreover, when all this voting is over, any Congressperson that votes against a “Public Option” in the “Health Care Reform Legislation” is not a representative of the people and must be voted out with explanation or subsequent consequent consideration!! The lies, double talk, Casey Stingle like, convoluted politician explanations must not prevail this time. It is did you vote for or against the “Public Option” in the legislation. If you voted for the you are in again! If you voted against it you are out of office in 2010-2012!

President Obama: Federal Government 'Will Go Bankrupt

FAMU 2009

IKEMAN HAS A HEADACHE-WHY??? A BLACK STUDENT'S LOOK AT INTEGRATED EDUCATION!! 

PREFACE

“To be truly successful, a person must first establish the highest level of positive ‘self-concept/” For a Black person this preparation must include gaining a solid irrefutable perception of their place in the human chain. In integrated education a Black experiences; Oppression-Tension-Pain (a big headache literally)!!If you are going to higher education and compete in the American predominately white institutions you must carry your place with you. You cannot go in looking for someone to give you a place.

In getting this solid self-concept I have found that attending a historically Black institution, as an undergraduate, is the best place to get this well rounded foundation. With this firm foundation you can be a better competitor in the pluralistic society where the norm is to place you in a place by skin color. You must take you place with you as you sit down to provide your skills in all the situations that you are certain to face.

This is my sincere and best advice that I can provide to my fellow brothers and sisters!” External (individual and institutional white discrimination) discrimination brings for Blacks, Pressure-Tension-Headaches that forces a Black to carry with themselves/internal oppression-tension pain! 

 

                Call me Ikeman!! Issac Morgan they named me. I was blessed by having the greatest Mother a boy could ever have. She was a divorced single and acted as the father, mother, breadwinner and spiritual advisor for my three brothers and me. I am the youngest of the four boys in my family. Without her I am certain that my life would have been an unbearable disaster. She has more love in her little finger than most people have I their whole body. The family had nothing but poverty. But this was a poverty of things. We were rich indeed in the wealth that human love and caring brings!

My brothers were outstanding athletes. They had their place in the Black part of the institution. They had their female following. I was left to compete in the world where a Black scholar was an outcast. And when placed in the accelerated classes, where few Black were I was the mascot. I was nothing! But I did have my headache to keep me company! All the time my headache was with me-God is good all the time-my headache was there all the time!!

As a student I was the victim of what was called integrated schools. This situation found me always in the racial minority, I saw mainly white instructors. These were my authority figures. I was unwittingly convinced that all Blacks were follows and in the minority when it came to the great thinkers of this world. This was my grades one through 12 schooling and it continued when I attended community college for my first two years of higher education. I did what was required of me as best I could and made it through to the AA Degree. Then I tried the atmosphere of another white institution for my last two years to get the BS. I was Ok and doing the passing with the same type of strategies that had gotten me through the other schools. But I began to have these big headaches. Here I was a very young boy walking around with a Headache!

My many trips to the doctor resulted in me getting the famous universal cure all “pills.” It started with one pill and ended up with many. Here I was a boy walking around with a headache and a pocket full of pills, for God’s sake. No body knew the troubles I saw. It was Extreme S-T-R-E-S-S brought about by isolation and alienation!!! Even I did not understand this thing. This day here I was standing on the campus at about 10:00 am. No body around much except my headache and me. I was looking for a place to sit in the mist of many paces to sit. I ended up sitting on the curb holding my miserable head and it ache in my hands. What is this? Who are my peers and where are they? I am alone in a sea of students. Isolated and alienated. My, my how confusing this was. Why is my good head giving me this not so good feeling? I was trying to come to grips with a situation of which I had no grasp. I was the invisible man!!

For some reason I decided to transfer to a Traditionally Black University. This was my place of enlightenment.

            Now here I was in the middle of a sea of Black bodies. There were hordes and hordes of Black beautiful women moving all over the place. They were not the hoochie mamas that were the reticule of other places. They were now the objects of ceremony and pursuits!  I was among the majority!!! This turned out to be an important difference with my situation. My headaches went away. This institution was giving me great images of Black people with great frequency and my instructors were saying some things that up to now were ridiculous to me. Blacks were said to be great contributors in the big and mysterious world. Blacks were central to the pools of important and gifted people of the world. It was as if my instructors were not ashamed to say things that until now were said in passing and with little promoted value. This was my education. This was my foundation. I was getting to think that I was ready to get the things that until now were in my grasp but not in my cards. The stress, tension, and pain of being the mascot in a group of not like me people was gone. I was whole for the first time in my school life!!

          Ah Yes, it’s a sunny, sunny day, God is in his heaven and some part of this paradise called earth just could be mine. Free at last; free at last, thank God All Mighty, I’m Free at last!! Now I am ready to integrate the world!!

            Most Black students have attended grade school where all tier lived they were out numbered by while students and having little notion that Black were people of authority also. That is enough to give anyone a headache!

            I am ready to compete in this pluralistic, multicultural, world!

 

 

SOME AMERICANS STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AMERICA MUST RECOVER ITS ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE & PRODUCE GOODS AND HIRE THE MIDDLE CLASS WORKER AGAIN!!!

(WRITTEN November 4, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Obama instituted a plan to buy old "Clunker Automobiles" in exchange for the purchase of an automobile that was more environmentally friendly and to stimulate the American automobile industry. But Americans that took advantage of this offer when out and bought 50+% foreign cars!! (By Kathy Willens, With clunker program over, some fear auto sales drought, USA Today, 8/28/2009)  

Obama recently announced in South Florida that a new plant had been financed to produce wind driven equipment for the production of electrify and to create jobs and stimulate the manufacturing industry here on American soil. But some companies took the money and went to China to buy the equipment generating only 30 jobs in American and over 2000 jobs in China! (Robert L. Borosage" "Chinese-Made Turbines to Fill U.S. Wind Farm", CAMPAING FOR AMERICA’S FUTURE, Wall Street Journal, 10-30-2009)

            How insensitive and stupid can we Americans be not to understand the seriousness of this un-American behavior? Its jobs on American soil for American unemployed workers you idiots!! This “Creed of Greed” in American Business is so deep that only the bottom line is the driving force of services rendered! But the use of the Economic Stimulus funds in this manner is not only Immoral is down right criminal and traitorous!

Say it an’t so Joe!!
