Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Op-Ed — Mainstream headlines constantly decry Bernie Sanders supporters for disrupting events in outrage, as if their protests and demonstrations somehow illustrate the devolution of the elections. But that focus by the corporate media utterly negates the consistent and continual reports of fraud and disenfranchisement fueling their ire.

And it’s getting ridiculous.

Newsweek, though far from alone, offered a prime example of the obfuscation of the election fraud and questionable campaign tactics by Hillary Clinton in its skewering of Sanders’ supporters.

Get Control, Senator Sanders, or Get Out,” Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald titled his op-ed — which thoroughly blasts the Vermont senator — as if he were somehow responsible for both the electoral chaos and the actions of an irate voting public.

“So, Senator Sanders,” Eichenwald writes [with emphasis added], “either get control of what is becoming your increasingly unhinged cult, or get out of the race. Whatever respect sane liberals had for you is rapidly dwindling, and the damage being inflicted on your reputation may be unfixable. If you can’t even manage the vicious thugs who act in your name, you can’t be trusted to run a convenience store, much less the country.”

Yeah! And that goes for you too…Donald Trump!

Really?

Because what Eichenwald obviates most readily in his attack is the inability to understand why those protests might be occurring in the first place. Judging by the timing of his article, it’s likely Eichenwald wrote it after chaos broke out at the Nevada Democratic Convention on Saturday — chaos that transpired after the party took it upon itself to ignore thousands who rightly believed Sanders delegates had been excluded unfairly from the caucus proceedings.

Despite the call for a recount, party officials refused to follow necessary procedure and abruptly adjourned the convention, leaving thousands of voters in the lurch — and hotel security and local law enforcement to deal with the aftermath. When things seem suspicious, apparently Eichenwald feels voters should not only have no recourse, they should be happy about it.

“Sanders has increasingly signaled that he is in this race for Sanders,” he continues, “and day after day shows himself to be a whining crybaby with little interest in a broader movement.”

It would be nice if Eichenwald’s hit piece were as much a joke as it comes across, but clearly he’s missed the point — and the vast movement supporting not only Sanders, but electoral justice. Worse, he didn’t stop there:

“Signs are emerging that the Sanders campaign is transmogrifying into the type of movement through which tyrants are born.

“The ugly was on display” at the aforementioned Nevada convention, Eichenwald adds, “where Hillary Clinton won more delegates than Sanders.”

No kidding. That would be precisely the issue that “cult” expressed fury about — Clinton managed to put yet another state under her belt under highly questionable circumstances. In fact, suspect happenings at nearly every primary and caucus so far oddly favor the former secretary of state — and Nevada stood as further testament to why voters are practically up in arms over what appears to be electoral favoritism.

But Eichenwald wasn’t alone in overlooking those concerns — or in blatantly mischaracterizing both that bias and its consequential thwarting of the wishes of a hefty segment of the voting public.

In the New York Times, Alan Rappeport also took the chance to strike at Sanders’ followers by citing Roberta Lange, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairwoman, who adjourned the convention early — earning the wrath of Nevada’s voters.

“‘It’s been vile,’ said Ms. Lange, who riled Sanders supporters by refusing their requests for rule changes at the event in Las Vegas,” Rappeport notes, adding, “The vicious response comes as millions of new voters, many of whom felt excluded by establishment politicians, have flocked to the insurgent campaigns of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump.”

Though he at least presented that aspect of the elections fairly, his description of what Lange actually did in Nevada misses the mark — that rules change had originally occurred prior to the convention, and Lange’s hasty and subjective decision on a contentious voice vote to permanently install the change arguably created the eruption of anger. But a number of Times staff have contributed sizeable amounts to Hillary’s campaign — and a Clinton family organization also donated $100,000 to the Times’ charitable organization the same year it endorsed her. Funny how bias thus peppers its reporting.

But the media roasting of Sanders and his supporters also appeared in the Sacramento Bee — where the editorial board also called the senator to task for the Nevada incident in lieu of calling out the controversial elections. According to the Bee,

“The episode had the reek of Trump rallies, where threats, insults, and sucker punches to defend the presumptive Republican nominee have been common. Yet looking back at the hundreds of Sanders supporters who descended on a Clinton rally in East Los Angeles earlier this month to intimidate her supporters, making one little girl cry, it now seems inevitable that the same kind of violent eruption would afflict those ‘feeling the Bern.’”

Seriously?

While the protest in L.A. certainly rattled Clinton supporters, violence didn’t pepper the event. One Sanders supporter — sporting a Free Hugs tee-shirt, no less — even assisted Clinton-supporting families with teary-eyed children in tow navigate through the crowd. While reports that someone ripped apart a young girl’s pro-Hillary sign might be valid, it would stand as the exception to what amounted to a boisterous demonstration over justifiable grievances. And, again, this obfuscation forgets entirely the need for demonstrations, which Hillary Clinton — in repeated lies, controversial policy proposals, and a campaign replete with fraud complaints — has clearly helped create.

Perhaps corporate, mainstream media — instead of targeting the symptom — should attempt to report its root cause.

No I don’t think corporate mainstream media should do that either. Reporting the “root cause” isn’t profitable and marketable. And if anyone (including you) really knew the root cause, you wouldn’t care what the media reports because you wouldn’t be watching it. And politics wouldn’t get under your skin, let along have anything to do with you and your life.

Perhaps enormous swaths of voters being dropped from the rolls in New York; Clinton’s inexplicably astronomical luck in coin tosses in Iowa; inexcusably untrained elections volunteers and their equally inexcusable tendency allowing Clinton supporters to participate in caucuses without first being registered; or any number of other examples from the mountain of ever-growing evidence the elections are, indeed, rigged, are infinitely more deserving of headlines than hit pieces against those protesting such affronts to the American electoral process.

See? If you knew the root cause, you wouldn’t care what headlines is more “deserving”.

Or perhaps we should all just do as Eichenwald suggests — swallow our pride and our desire for a less corrupt and fairer system — and turn tail.

Well I’m not in Eichenwald’s head but—I actually agree with him from my own perception.

Or not. Because this system is rigged — and the corporate media helps pull the strings. But as long as independent media reports what the mainstream refuses, and as long as fraud inundates the 2016 election, there will be protests — regardless of whether or not Newsweek and the Times and the rest of their ilk ever grasp accuracy in reporting.

So the system is “rigged”. Why?

What’s “rigged”, what does that mean?

Everyone who keep repeating “the system’s rigged” will give you more rigging. It’s the basic laws of attraction. And the government (and media) keeps on giving you what you keep saying they are…just keep on.

What’s rigged is using a wire hanger and aluminum to catch the right reception for your TV…that’s for those who remember the rabbit ears.

The mainstream media reports DRAMA, because drama sells. The thing is, drama is sold to a masses who’s addicted to–well, drama. So this article encourage “independent media” to report drama, then you’d be alright regarding coverage from a masses who wants more drama.

There will be protests. Really? How profitable. Protesting is such a masterful tool that get a bunch of angry people angry about something they know nothing about, for if they knew, they wouldn’t be protesting.

You see, the media is right. You might be the problem. It takes a viewer to turn the television on to watch what MSM got for them on today’s headlines to be angry about and share it among their angry friends and family. Same thing with social media, where everyone can click on their emoticons so Facebook, Twitter and other corporations can market to you based on your anger–voluntarily of course.

Mainstream media is a business, and they only sell what the viewers want. However, you’re not the problem if you like drama. What’s problematic is being in denial about it.

Bernie, Clinton, Trump, Johnson, Stein–it doesn’t matter who your cult of personality is. It’s all a game. And if anyone get so emotional over a story they heard (or watched) from someone else, and believe it without verifying the source. Well, maybe that’s a problem.

Then I’d encourage protesting.

Memorial Day; The Day TRUE Freedom Is Dismissed

Memorial Day; The Day TRUE Freedom Is Dismissed

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 15 YEARS TO SAY THIS…

Happy Memorial Day To…..Freedom of Speech

In The Most Contradicting Society In The World.

I honor the most controversial right that’s ever been given to humanity all over the world from their creator. I saw (and heard it) pass away on September 11, 2001.

Place of birth: Your independent mindset without fear of criticism

Place of death: The United States of America

Cause of Death: Civilian censorship

(Most civilians strictly regulate freedom of speech through threats of physical harm, death and their government parent via FCC, and Homeland Security towards anyone that presents an intelligent yet non-popular dialogs regarding everything from the Holocaust, false flags, the military and ethnic groups, to religion)

Memorial Day commemorates soldiers killed in war. We are told that the war dead died for us and our freedom. US Marine General Smedley Butler challenged this view. He said that our soldiers died for the profits of the bankers, Wall Street, Standard Oil, and the United Fruit Company. Here is an excerpt from a speech that he gave in 1933:
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we’ll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn’t a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its “finger men” to point out enemies, its “muscle men” to destroy enemies, its “brain men” to plan war preparations, and a “Big Boss” Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Most American soldiers died fighting foes who posed no threat to the United States. Our soldiers died for secret agendas of which they knew nothing. Capitalists hid their self-interests behind the flag, and our boys died for the One Percent’s bottom line.
Jade Helm, an exercise that pits the US military against the US public, is scheduled to run July 15 through September 15. What is the secret agenda behind Jade Helm?
The Soviet Union was a partial check on capitalist looting in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. However, with the Soviet collapse capitalist looting intensified during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes.
Neoliberal Globalization is now looting its own constituent parts and the planet itself. Americans, Greeks, Irish, British, Italians, Ukrainians, Iraqis, Libyans, Argentinians, the Spanish and Portuguese are being looted of their savings, pensions, social services, and job opportunities, and the planet is being turned into a wasteland by capitalists sucking the last penny out of the environment. As Claudia von Werlhof writes, predatory capitalism is consuming the globe. http://www.globalresearch.ca/neoliberal-globalization-is-there-an-alternative-to-plundering-the-earth/24403
We need a memorial day to commemorate the victims of neoliberal globalization. All of us are its victims, and in the end the capitalists also.

One of my major pet peeves as long as I can remember is where social media posts and mainstream media ORDERS you to feel a certain way about EVERYTHING regarding man-made holidays so that you can “boo-hoo” your way in eating your barbecue ribs, fried chicken, guzzling a beer and…whatever else society tells you is “patriotic” to do.

I don’t celebrate Memorial Day because there’s nothing to remember, or anyone to honor. The biggest mistake I believe humans are taught in their lives is to believe someone else “die” for their freedom. This stain of mental illness convince the person that freedom is this society where a document gave them freedom by a bunch of white bald headed men, and have to be “preserved” by a bunch of troops violating human rights all over the world in order for you to continue eating your barbecue ribs and drinking beer in the name of “freedom”.

Then, society says you’re a “good person” for thanking the troops for their “service” for their country.

Oh, are you getting angry? Can you feel the heat rushing through your body?

I’m laughing because I’m just getting started…I haven’t turned the key on this controversial engine yet.

Memorial Day is one of the biggest jokes in America. I keep my television off, and I stay far away from Facebook on those holidays to avoid the stupefied disease most (MOST) Americans like to blow all over my independent mind to have the independent FREEDOM to criticize Memorial Day in the first place.

Check out the major contradiction; tell people on Facebook that you have no respect for the corporate troops and the military, and see if the Constitution really protect you from the mob.

The military has become a sickness that affect everyone in this country. You wanna talk about fighting for freedom? Does freedom require thinking outside the box?

Does freedom introduce you to your own demons of why you do what you do and look to someone (or something else) for your corporate sponsored “freedom?”

What is freedom to you?

When society demonize a cashier who refused to serve a military soldier, is that freedom?

Why the fuck are we in countries all over the world? Is that freedom?

Have you ever asked yourself if the military is a religion of its own?

To most veterans who fought in passed wars. I have nothing against you. I would imagine you did what you thought was right at the time. I would assume that you were told you’re fighting for your country.

I respect only a quarter of the veterans I’ve spoken to in person, because they actually believed in fighting for a greater cause, and wanted to save humanity. Then after deployment, the PTSD that kicks in comes from seeing REAL WAR in their heads that has NOTHING to do with Americans, the people they were supposed to “save”, and freedom. They saw the demonic side of the military. They felt they were lied to in order to get them away from their families and into harm’s way.

I’ve also met most veterans I personally wanted to punch right dead in the face because they were just assholes who had no respect for human life. They were a disgrace to humanity period–at that time. I felt if they were shot dead at whatever fucking place they were at, good riddance–at that time before I had unconditional love for myself, and humanity.

That made me no longer put all soldiers in the same “respect and honor” table. And I grew up in a military family who’s currently serving in the Marines, Army and Navy.

I questioned everything, and not ONE rock went un-turned, not even the soft Americans precious foot soldiers.

Most American people love war, they love to drink the bloods of “enemies” MSM and their Bible considers “evil-doers”. They always promote bombing innocent countries, civilians, women and children, and violating these countries so that they can get their cheap gas.

Ooooh, is THAT what most Americans thanking the fallen for?

All while dismissing the foreign policy laid out by the United States Constitution which calls for REMAINING NEUTRAL.

How about this. Why don’t we reverse Memorial Day.

You see, America isn’t the ONLY country where its soldiers fight for their “citizen’s freedom”. Oh no, let’s reverse this.

Before the military get deployed, they “pray” for the “mission”, if they know what the mission is. Well you see, that’s what a “jihad” is. They pray before they go on their mission as well.

So let me ask you; what’s the difference between United States soldiers going to a foreign country to kill “terrorists”, and those in other countries coming here to kill “terrorist?”

What’s the difference between soldiers kicking in the private homes of Muslims or any other human life with machine guns, and a foreign soldier busting through YOUR door at two in the morning?

For freedom of course.

After September 11, 2001 two things woke up; love, and fear. I seen it with my own eyes the filth of fear people dove into after that date, and the increase of unconditional love for all humanity. Unfortunately, fear is extremely contagious in a drama and celebrity obsessed society. That was actually a time to turn every media format off, separate from people and really reflect on your life.

Well I did that, and I had the privilege of exploring both sides of the aisle. I was totally against war period! I hated war, and I’d never wanted anything to do with it. However, a lot of brain dead scary fuckers was ready to take out Osama bin Laden minutes after the attack happened without being presented with PHYSICAL evidence.

Meanwhile missing children cases are still unsolved…

I was surrounded by blood thirsty zombies who’d rather have the corporate sponsored “troops” do the drinking for them.

Then I started to discover myself, and realized that no one knows freedom unless they know themselves from a deeper understanding.

Freedom doesn’t exist in some document, or country, or foreign intervention. It exist from someone who doesn’t fear anything–including some God.

When you have no fear, then you have freedom. But when you recognize that “terrorist” exist, then you acknowledge that you’re opened to be terrorized, and therefore trade your freedom of not living in fear, to living in fear and claim someone else fight for a freedom you never had in the first place.

Therefore, because you’ve been taught to worship the military and your troops, and the fallen soldiers, just like the civilians do in the small countries the United States invaded, and their soldiers who fought for their “homeland security” that you were taught to call “terrorist”….

Most Americans’ reaction to this post is predictable, like clock work, so…funny.

What will happen is a comment will say how dare me to “disrespect our troops, veterans, yadadada” the whole regurgitated scripted emotional rant.

The whole point of my rant is this;

To society: Don’t tell me what to think, how to feel, who to remember, who to honor, what to say, how to say it, what to think, how to think, what to write, how to express myself to fit your fake corporate sponsored feelings–DO NOT censor me because you don’t like what I said. I’m a human being with human rights to twist and turn every “sacred” feelings society has adopted based one what somebody else told you. Society itself needs to be shocked every once in awhile. Freely express yourself to criticize what I said here, but do NOT criminalize my human expression because of society’s insecurity that fail to express theirs.

Those who SHOULD be honoring the fallen troops are the major corporations that sent them there in the first place, and the shareholders saying “thank you” while pouring a thousand dollar a bottle champagne on their graves.

NO ONE FIGHT FOR NO ONE’S FREEDOM WHEN FREEDOM IS DISCOVERING THYSELF ALONE. PERIOD.

To all the fallen soldiers;

Monsanto, BP, ExxonMobil, Disney, Chevron, IBM, Raytheon, General Electric, General Dynamic, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman, AT&T, JP Morgan Chase and all of Wall Street…

Thanks you.

Why Do Former Goldman Sachs Bankers Keep Landing Top Slots at the Federal Reserve?

Why Do Former Goldman Sachs Bankers Keep Landing Top Slots at the Federal Reserve?

Before we dive into this, I want to stress how crucial, critical, and important self-empowerment, responsibility, and choices are towards you–the individual. And, I want to highlight the importance of separating you–the individual from this soup of energy and mindsets of everyone else, or shall I say, the country.

So, read this for you and you only. Forget about the next door neighbor, forget about everyone else in your neighborhood, city, state, and the country altogether.

Next, forget about everything you’ve heard about everything the media says about everything.

You ready? Let’s go…

I will note this again because it should be noted again and again. Goldman Sachs should be dead. Door nail. Kaput. Finito. Gone. A piece of history. Expired.

But Goldman Sachs, Government Sachs, lives because it got bailed out by you the taxpayer. You’re the one who felt the brunt of the Great Recession. You who lost your home. You who moved in with the kids to make ends meet. You who went on food stamps quietly in desperation. You who had the heat turned off. You who saw the middle class slip away, away, away. You kept Goldman alive, largely because their former CEO Hank Paulson ran the US Treasury when Wall Street teetered on the open pits of hell.

This is the part where I would have the author speak for themselves. Unless they know you personally and you told them you went through all that and “bailed somebody out”, or you felt the brunt of the “Great Recession”, they no nothing about you.

However, IF you agree with that statement, I’m not going to stop you, I’m just curious to why you’d want to be in that soup in the first place if you desire anything in your life regarding money.

One of my pet peeves is when I hear people say “they’re spending taxpayer’s money” based on what their political gang or mainstream media told them, yet failed to justify their accusation by failing to see or even show me a balance sheet that prove something’s been paid by “taxpayers”.

Goldman should have fallen into the firey nether. A few of the other big banks would have followed the firm. But you know what wouldn’t have died? America.

Had we let capitalism actually work, had the crony barons actually paid for their breathtakingly stupid leveraged positions, we’d have probably recovered more quickly. Additionally, we’d now likely have a more robust (more) capitalist system than we had prior to 2008. The muck would have been cleared. Instead we must now deal with the crony system of legalized graft which has grown exponentially since the Crash.

Who’s “we”, and “us”?

We could’ve had THIS, but because THEY did THAT, we can’t have THE OTHER THING, and we gotta deal with THIS! So because we all are ordered to feel miserable because of THAT, all together America…

And now having been saved by you the taxpayer, the guy who likely couldn’t get past the reception desk at Goldman headquarters, Goldman has continued its crony quest.

(From The Nation)

Once Kashkari takes his seat on January 1, 2016, one-third of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks will be led by someone with strong ties to Goldman Sachs. In addition to Kashkari and his two fellow (and they are all fellow) recent appointees, the New York Fed’s president, William Dudley, is also a Goldman Sachs alumnus. He served as the bank’s chief economist for ten years as well as partner and managing director.

The presidents of the 12 Fed Banks help carry out the Fed’s bank supervision responsibilities, so the revolving door between Goldman Sachs and key Fed posts should alarm us. But it is also hard to see how the Fed’s recent selection of three Goldman Sachs bankers conforms with the Federal Reserve Act requirement that Fed leaders “represent the public,” with “due consideration” given to a variety of economic backgrounds and perspectives.

Still waiting for that balance sheet “taxpayer”…

Sadly The Nation’s concern strikes us as quaint, at best. They don’t like that the Fed system doesn’t spread the spoils of the system to the people they like. (The cronies they like.) This is the problem which plagues statist critics of the Fed. There is the tendency to want to believe that if the Fed was just run by the right people it would be a valuable tool for social engineering. They can’t bring themselves to call for an end to the bank, because a central bank is central to “progressive-statism.” And this is how the central banks always co-opt or simply dispose of their lefty critics.

Get real. End the Fed. Don’t be a wimp about it. Have some pride.

Who’s “they”?

Alright let’s clean this up. What’s a “cronie”? I’m trying to figure out what that mean to you. It has so many definitions. Well I’ll tell you mine. A crony is someone that tells you what’s going on with somebody else and using them as a crutch for not taking care of their own business.

What do you mean by that Diary?

I’ll tell ya. No one can end the Fed because “Americans” won’t allow it to die. How are they going to cash their checks every Friday? How are they going to apply for a credit card so they can get those “air miles” and “cash back” on certain purchases? How are they going to apply for that mortgage to be part of the “American Dream?” How are they going to write off certain interest payments and loans off their tax returns?

Pride? What pride? What’s so proud to blame another source on a financial decision you make? And on top of it, you need other Americans to agree with you? Would that make you feel special? Important? More “patriotic” to blame ole Goldman Sachs for your own financial woes? Oh, that corrupted government sachs stole taxpayers money? People are now broke, poor and eating mayonnaise sandwiches because of big old Goldman aye?

Now. American people. In unison, being angry with Goldman Sachs is so patriotic, it’s so patriotic to stress out over finances, and believe that you working hard at your job is patriotic, and paying your taxes is patriotic, and feeling angry when somebody else in D.C. spends “your money” on stupid stuff, ooooh doesn’t it make you so mad? Hey! Get angry you American! Did you know it’s patriotic to get a heart attack over some bullshit data, statistics and headlines CNN toss your way? It’s patriotic to be angry at wealthy people, greedy politicians and billion dollar corporations. Why wouldn’t it? You’re a taxpayer. Right?

I’m making fun of this because it boils down to be pissed off about something that you have to ask yourself; can I change this system tonight?

No, really ask yourself that question. Why are Americans so fucking angry? Angry about what? What the fuck are they so pissed about?

Is America the greatest country on planet Earth or is that a fucking typo people regurgitate blindly without knowing what the hell they’re even saying?

Why is America so goddamn angry?

I’ll tell you why.

America is a beautiful country with breathtaking natural resources. She is such a magnificent country, Mother Earth’s example of the treasures our planet can offer. And she utilizes one of the greatest real estate on Earth. Just ask the animals, which by the way I’ve never seen them angry at all.

Most of the American people however gives me hives. I’m allergic to almost everything they say, because MSM already convinced them that blaming others was the way to go.

Angry Americans angry about Mondays. And if they’re not angry about Mondays, they have to find something else to be angry about.

Are YOU part of that? What does it feel like? Just ask yourself that. What does it feel like to be angry with Obama, or Bush, or Monsanto, or ISIS, or Muslims, or any fucking body–how does that feel?

Why oh God help me why do YOU WANT TO STAY ANGRY?

What does that do to you? Who and where are you getting your sources from?

This article about Goldman Sachs isn’t the first. Goldman has been in the news for years. I didn’t trip over Goldman anymore because there was something I noticed that most conspiracy theorists did not….

Goldman was making money, and using players.

The complainers was the one who hated wealth.

I don’t know about you, but I love wealth. I love money. So, instead of agreeing with this article, I thought ‘since Goldman Sachs make a lot of money allegedly from taxpayers, why not buy some of their stocks?’

What? I can do that? People can buy stocks? Why didn’t I think about that before?

What? Mutual Funds invest in companies like Goldman Sachs? Why are retirees and taxpayers complaining about it? Don’t they have GS in their portfolio?

What was that? They don’t know? Why not? Because they leave that responsibility to the Mutual Fund manager? Well why don’t they see what companies they own? What? Oh because it’s a pain and they don’t have time for that? Oh…correction…they choose not to have time for that so instead of doing a little due-diligence on their MF portfolio they get angry over business deals based on what MSM tells them without verifying the source of the information? But why would they do that?

Because they just like being….angry?

Goldman Sachs is a business, and the American people are okay with that. Yes. Even most black people;

Obama was “allegedly” connected with, and campaign bankrolled by Goldman Sachs as well as Mitt Romney during the last election. Rather certain conspiracy sites was right about that or not, just the rumor was no concern regarding Obama supporters, they wanted their FIRST black President.

I’m surprised Goldman Sachs didn’t get a recognition for “change” from the NAACP–or was it?

Most people could careless about who Goldman is bankrolling, funding, “hiring”, and revolving door-ing, as long as people get their stuff Goldman can do what it does best.

Most people get upset with Goldman because they’re blaming America’s woes on everything except—–what’s going on in here…

Who lives in your mind? Why is it in there? Who put those thoughts in there? How did you even know anything about Goldman Sachs?

Forget about Goldman for a minute, and think about everything that’s happening in your mind, and if applicable your own household.

Did you know that when you allow what’s going on out there bother and affect how you run your finances and household, your home is no longer under your control? That means your home has experienced a silent invasion.

You are responsible of your mind. But when you lose it, and allow other to order you to feel a negative emotion towards something THEY invented, that never personally affected you, you just lost your freedom FROM responsibilities.

That’s equivalent of you living in a bad neighborhood in New York and tell your kids you’re leaving them alone to head out to California in order to fight for their freedom to not worry about burglars and hoodlums.

Think about that for a second. Long and hard.

Take control of your mind or someone else will be happy to control it for you. Start a business, make money. Take care of your family, and learn the game. Learn the game Goldman AND their buddies play. Then buy their stocks, while the other angry Americans start calling you a “crony capitalist”.

That’s including Goldman Sachs. 😉

Conspiracies…In Reverse Memes

Conspiracies…In Reverse Memes

What if there was a simple solution to ALL the conspiracy theories out there regarding every aspects from politics, religion to even money? The thing I find kind of funny is the conspiracies come at you like…

“Did you know that money is an IOU from the government paid to the private bankers and charge interest on it?!”

And that’s it. I’m like “Umm, okay? So, what do you wanna do?”

And instead of saying…”well, we should buy a bank!” They say “we need to get to the bottom of this so that we can feel miserable, yet special being right, and get more conspiracy kudos and some ‘Patriotic’ cookies!”

In other words, everything has to be pointed at instead of a mirror. Yes Michael Jackson, I hear you.

So what I want to present to you here is a few conspiracy memes and post while providing the most simple solution so powerful, it would change the course of the world…overnight. Guaranteed, or your insanity back!

Here’s how to New World Order!

Do you believe this?
Who controlled your hand to turn on the TV? Do you exercise your freedom of choice to be controlled?
Response: People love their shows, I need to buy stocks in these corporations! Reaction: Because the one-eyed devil made me do it!
Based on what you’ve been told about Mr. Marx and communism, what’s your independent thoughts on this?
Does ANYONE stop you from thinking? Or is it Rockefellers fault? Whatever agenda they had, were you its subject?

Education comes from the Latin ëducatio, which I highly recommend doing an independent research for yourself and come to your own conclusions if you wish. It really doesn’t matter what Rockefeller wanted in 1903, what is it that YOU want for your own education?

You know what I think is dumb? A society with the latest technology of the Internet at their fingertips, have the ability to research and study ANY topic related to ANYTHING from every corners of the planet and the universe. Yet, they choose to put their attention on certain topics. So, if it is true that this was Rockefeller’s wanting, then who’s doing it for him?

No one is stopping you from thinking. And blaming Karl Marx, Rockefeller, and every Tom Dick and historical Harry under the son for every God forsaken ills of society is the perfect recipe of a nation continuously going down the “Dumbing Down” bandwagon.

YOU ARE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR OWN DESTINY.

LET THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS TALK ABOUT THAT 😉

The Cult of Ignorance in the United States: Anti-intellectualism and the “dumbing down” of America

The Cult of Ignorance in the United States: Anti-intellectualism and the “dumbing down” of America

There is a growing and disturbing trend of anti-intellectual elitism in American culture. It’s the dismissal of science, the arts, and humanities and their replacement by entertainment, self-righteousness, ignorance, and deliberate gullibility.

Susan Jacoby, author of The Age of American Unreason, says in an article in the Washington Post, “Dumbness, to paraphrase the late senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, has been steadily defined downward for several decades, by a combination of heretofore irresistible forces. These include the triumph of video culture over print culture; a disjunction between Americans’ rising level of formal education and their shaky grasp of basic geography, science and history; and the fusion of anti-rationalism with anti-intellectualism.”

There has been a long tradition of anti-intellectualism in America, unlike most other Western countries. Richard Hofstadter, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964 for his book, Anti-Intellectualism In American Life, describes how the vast underlying foundations of anti-elite, anti-reason and anti-science have been infused into America’s political and social fabric. Famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once said:

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”Mark Bauerlein, in his book, The Dumbest Generation, reveals how a whole generation of youth is being dumbed down by their aversion to reading anything of substance and their addiction to digital “crap” via social media.

Journalist Charles Pierce, author of Idiot America, adds another perspective:

“The rise of idiot America today represents – for profit mainly, but also and more cynically, for political advantage in the pursuit of power – the breakdown of a consensus that the pursuit of knowledge is a good. It also represents the ascendancy of the notion that the people whom we should trust the least are the people who best know what they are talking about. In the new media age, everybody is an expert.””There’s a pervasive suspicion of rights, privileges, knowledge and specialization,” says Catherine Liu, the author of American Idyll: Academic Antielitism as Cultural Critique and a film and media studies professor at University of California. The very mission of universities has changed, argues Liu. “We don’t educate people anymore. We train them to get jobs.”

Part of the reason for the rising anti-intellectualism can be found in the declining state of education in the U.S. compared to other advanced countries:

  • After leading the world for decades in 25-34 year olds with university degrees, the U.S. is now in 12th place. The World Economic Forum ranked the U.S. at 52nd among 139 nations in the quality of its university math and science instruction in 2010. Nearly 50% of all graduate students in the sciences in the U.S. are foreigners, most of whom are returning to their home countries;
  • The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs commissioned a civic education poll among public school students. A surprising 77% didn’t know that George Washington was the first President*; couldn’t name Thomas Jefferson as the author of the Declaration of Independence; and only 2.8% of the students actually passed the citizenship test. Along similar lines, the (Goldwater Institute of Phoenix¹) did the same survey and only 3.5% of students passed the civics test;
  • According to the National Research Council¹ report, only 28% of high school science teachers consistently follow the National Research Council guidelines on teaching evolution, and 13% of those teachers explicitly advocate creationism or “intelligent design;”
  • 18% of Americans still believe that the sun revolves around the earth, according to a Gallup poll;
  • The American Association of State Colleges and Universities report on education shows that the U.S. ranks second among all nations in the proportion of the population aged 35-64 with a college degree, but 19th in the percentage of those aged 25-34 with an associate or high school diploma, which means that for the first time, the educational attainment of young people will be lower than their parents;
  • 74% of Republicans in the U.S. Senate and 53% in the House of Representatives deny the validity of climate change despite the findings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences¹ and every other significant scientific organization in the world;
  • According to the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress, 68% of public school children in the U.S. do not read proficiently by the time they finish third grade. And the U.S. News & World* reported that barely 50% of students are ready for college level reading when they graduate;
  • According to a 2006 survey by National Geographic-Roper¹, nearly half of Americans between ages 18 and 24 do not think it necessary to know the location of other countries in which important news is being made. More than a third consider it “not at all important” to know a foreign language, and only 14 percent consider it “very important;”
  • According to the National Endowment for the Arts¹ report in 1982, 82% of college graduates read novels or poems for pleasure; two decades later only 67% did. And more than 40% of Americans under 44 did not read a single book–fiction or nonfiction–over the course of a year. The proportion of 17 year olds who read nothing (unless required by school ) has doubled between 1984-2004;
  • Gallup released a poll indicating 42 percent of Americans still believe God created human beings in their present form less than 10,000 years ago*;
  • A 2008 University of Texas study found that 25 percent of public school biology teachers believe that humans and dinosaurs inhabited the earth simultaneously.

I do have to say that from my own personal observation there’s a big difference between a “belief” and facts. For example; the different between evolution and creation is a belief, for none of us were there to see the phenomenon of human existence from the start. Most studies to determine is based on “theory” correct? Same thing with religion; the question of creation of an unseen force creating Adam to form humanity is based merely on theory. Correct?

When there’s emotions connected to theory (information not yet proven but hypothesized) it creates a belief. But that doesn’t make it true. What’s true is climate change (the climate around you being hot during summer months and cold during winter months). You feel climate change around you every year. Is that facts?

The climate (used to be called global warming but changed branding) debate changed for millions (if not billions) of years since the “big bang” or Adam and Eve theory, based on hypotheses because no human being living today actually saw it happened, and therefore know what they saw which makes it facts.

In other words; facts are not debatable because its finite. 1+1=2 is UN-debateable because it’s finite. Every human being even find it silly to debate why 1+1 equates to two, just like drinking water when you’re thirsty no matter what “theory” people believe in. Yes?

Now here’s where I find interesting. Everyone have theory on ideal of “intelligence”. I believe what’s NOT intelligent is taking what you’ve heard (rather from scientists or the clergy) and run with it. Then, argue in defense of what you’ve been told. Then question why they believe what they’re telling you, and challenge where they got the information from and why they believe in that data. Just because you disagree with the so-call “educated” training of determining what’s “fact” and what’s fiction doesn’t make you “dumb down”–unless you agree with it.

However, I do agree with the whole “social media” frenzy. It’s given people the freedom to express their regurgitation of spilling out what someone else told them, and agreeing with what’s easy to agree with–what they already “believe” in.

In American schools, the culture exalts the athlete and good-looking cheerleader. Well-educated and intellectual students are commonly referred to in public schools and the media as “nerds,” “dweebs,” “dorks,” and “geeks,” and are relentlessly harassed and even assaulted by the more popular “jocks” for openly displaying any intellect. These anti-intellectual attitudes are not reflected in students in most European or Asian countries, whose educational levels have now equaled and and will surpass that of the U.S. And most TV shows or movies such as The Big Bang Theory depict intellectuals as being geeks if not effeminate.

What’s this, Dawson’s Creek? “dweeb” and “dorks”.

I’m wondering if this only happen in public schools…

John W. Traphagan, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Texas, argues the problem is that Asian countries have core cultural values that are more akin to a cult of intelligence and education than a cult of ignorance and anti-intellectualism. In Japan, for example, teachers are held in high esteem and normally viewed as among the most important members of a community. There is suspicion and even disdain for the work of teachers that occurs in the U.S. Teachers in Japan typically are paid significantly more than their peers in the U.S. The profession of teaching is one that is seen as being of central value in Japanese society and those who choose that profession are well compensated in terms of salary, pension, and respect for their knowledge and their efforts on behalf of children.

For someone who attended public schools growing up I’m going to throw my two cents in this as well. For some reason I’m smelling a personal and emotional intention regarding the comparison between Japanese teachers apart from U.S. teachers.

I’m not familiar with Japanese teachers’ attitude towards education, and I haven’t asked each and every Japanese teacher their feelings towards their pay and attitude of American teachers either. However from my own personal experience I’ve had teachers who could careless of teaching you anything except the propaganda bought and paid for by the standardize “one-size-fits-all” curriculum. I challenged my teachers’ lessons because I asked questions, and I got “bad grades” on my tests because I refused to go along with the program…and agree that Christopher Columbus “founded the Americas”.

I can say that teachers pay usually has nothing to do with the quality of education they administer to the student, if they’re not feeling their “profession”.

In other words; based on my experience of why public schools are the way they are regarding some of their teachers has something to do with why the American public school system was created in the first place. Regardless of teachers’ pay.

And, word on the street has it that teachers in most private schools provide a more quality education to their students than their public school counterparts–which justifies their higher salary and pay compared to their public school counterparts. But that was just rumors.

I experienced that in person with my own life. But, I do understand that each person have their own perception based on their own personal experience. Would that be considered “facts?”

In addition, we do not see in Japan significant numbers of the types of religious schools that are designed to shield children from knowledge about basic tenets of science and accepted understandings of history – such as evolutionary theory or the religious views of the Founding Fathers, who were largely deists – which are essential to having a fundamental understanding of the world, Traphagan contends. The reason for this is because in general Japanese value education, value the work of intellectuals, and see a well-educated public with a basic common knowledge in areas of scientific fact, math, history, literature, etc. as being an essential foundation to a successful democracy.

Nothing against my hometown, but I can relate based on my personal experience. I grew up in the heart of the Bible Belt and I know what its like to be introduced to “evolution” and having the religious fanatics “rebuking” our school for even thinking about introducing us to an alternative contrast regarding existence. Science was seen as “evil” in my neck of the woods, so a lot of kids transferred their intellects with the fear of hell if they ever thought about questioning the Biblical version of existence.

Again, never been to Japan, but I do believe science and math was, and is the key component in expressing real intellect with the self and in society.

We’re creating a world of dummies. Angry dummies who feel they have the right, the authority and the need not only to comment on everything, but to make sure their voice is heard above the rest, and to drag down any opposing views through personal attacks, loud repetition and confrontation.

I noticed this awhile back and I really had to separate myself from it. I found out that there was a deeper reason for this. Explaining it is a whole other topic dedicated only to the topic but for right now, when I saw this, I decided to turn the TV off.

The word “dummy” means something differently to me. I keep thinking about the Crash Test Dummies back in the 90s regarding the “Buckle Your Safety Belts” campaign from the Ad Counsel, and from Fred G. Sanford from Sanford and Sons calling everyone he had a fight with a “dummy”. It was funny, and it was meant to be funny, therefore I’d rather keep the word “dummy” that way, not from some social engineering tactic of pansies who’s been used to “act like” they’re just dumb.

Oh, and the “G” stands for; Get a life… 😉

Bill Keller, writing in the New York Times argues that the anti-intellectual elitism is not an elitism of wisdom, education, experience or knowledge. The new elite are the angry social media posters, those who can shout loudest and more often, a clique of bullies and malcontents baying together like dogs cornering a fox. Too often it’s a combined elite of the anti-intellectuals and the conspiracy followers – not those who can voice the most cogent, most coherent response. Together they foment a rabid culture of anti-rationalism where every fact is suspect; every shadow holds a secret conspiracy. Rational thought is the enemy. Critical thinking is the devil’s tool.

Want to hear the MOST controversial thing I can say on this?

There’s no such thing as “the devil” because the so-call devil I was indoctrinated to believe exist I never met in person. But I did meet the devil, and it was a surreal meeting.

With that being said; I actually agree with the whole “anti-intellectual” orgies that goes on in social media. Based on the experience of seeing the “rabid” attacks of those who throw counter questions all the time. The only issue with that is, even if you do present an intellectual argument to the masses of “dummies”, who’ve never asked for the intellect in the first place.

In other words; social media wasn’t created to express intellectual knowledge with each other. It was created to expose the “rabid culture of anti-rationalism” to those who do practice intellectualism in order to capitalize off the conspiracy followers and “dummies”.

Keller also notes that the herd mentality takes over online; the anti-intellectuals become the metaphorical equivalent of an angry lynch mob when anyone either challenges one of the mob beliefs or posts anything outside the mob’s self-limiting set of values.

Well thank God they don’t know your real name or where you live ;-P

Keller blames this in part to the online universe that “skews young, educated and attentive to fashions.” Fashion, entertainment, spectacle, voyeurism – we’re directed towards trivia, towards the inconsequential, towards unquestioning and blatant consumerism. This results in intellectual complacency. People accept without questioning, believe without weighing the choices, join the pack because in a culture where convenience rules, real individualism is too hard work. Thinking takes too much time: it gets in the way of the immediacy of the online experience.

Reality TV and pop culture presented in magazines and online sites claim to provide useful information about the importance of The Housewives of [you name the city] that can somehow enrich our lives. After all, how else can one explain the insipid and pointless stories that tout divorces, cheating and weight gain? How else can we explain how the Kardashians, or Paris Hilton are known for being famous without actually contributing anything worth discussion? The artificial events of their lives become the mainstay of populist media to distract people from the real issues and concerns facing us.

What’s worth discussing? If someone wants to discuss entertainment, celebrities and “Real Housewives”, LET THEM. What does that have anything to do with you?

Talking to you, the reader. Yeah you…

What does anything people talk about have anything to do with YOU personally? Individually?

I think the Kardashians and Paris Hilton are contributing to something worth discussing, or people wouldn’t be buying their products and brand, and this article wouldn’t have mentioned them in the first place.

They’re renting space in the minds of millions and raking millions on top of it. I’d say it looks like they’re contributing something worth discussing or media wouldn’t bother talking about them either.

The question is what do they have to do with you? If nothing, why even contribute to them by mentioning them and blaming THEM for the intellectual woes of the dummies? The dummies are the one that exercise their freedom to believe every bullshit thrown at them, buy the bullshit, consume the bullshit, and regurgitate the bullshit. Let them.

What does that have ANYTHING to do with you?

The current trend of increasing anti-intellectualism now establishing itself in politics and business leadership, and supported by a declining education system should be a cause for concern for leaders and the general population, one that needs to be addressed now.

This “issue” isn’t an alarm. There is no issue unless you “believe” there’s an issue. It doesn’t require or take an “us”, or “them”. It’s not a concern of any “leader” or general population.

Issues are also within the minds of the beholder. The issues are issues when it’s entertained from the minds of those who believe there’s an issue.

Those who don’t exercise “intellects” and spew their conspiracies on social media isn’t the issue, and never was. Nor is it the lack of quality education in the public school system, or the pay scale of the teachers an issue.

In other words; there is NEVER an issue of anyone choosing to freely express their lack or refusal of recognizing or respecting the intelligent thought and challenging opinions of what people believe are facts on social media, and what they consume through the media. You, and every human being face constant information of ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and biased “facts” that was told and created from the original source who had an agenda and desired to influence your feelings, emotions and thoughts towards that information and data.

I mentioned earlier that one of the only irrefutable facts in existence today is 1+1 being 2, no matter who feels a certain way about. I don’t have to tell you that 2 is the answer, try it for yourself. But it is challenging to prove to you that everyone in social media are “dummies”.

The bottom line of this entire article is this; are you angry or “frustrated” that others outside of yourself think differently than you, and therefore affect you personally in one way or another?

If it does, then their so-call “facts” are then yours, and it’s okay to demand feeling angry towards certain thought patterns the article doesn’t agree with.

If it does not, then you control your own destiny regardless of how insane the world becomes—based on your definition of “insane”.

*Always question history for your own personal reference if desired.

The Illuminati Were Amateurs — The Facts Show These Five Families Rule the World

Before we get started, I would like to re-arrange this title….

The Illuminati Were Amatuers–The OPINIONS Show These Five Families Rule The World

Ah! There.

The word “facts” get thrown so many times, I’m starting to think it’s becoming a verbal confetti in a Mardi Gras parade of emotions that want something to defend their personal feelings towards something and call it “facts”.

I’ll tell yu what’s “facts”.

When you put your hands in water you’re getting wet. Put your hands in a flame you get burned. Jump out of a ten story building you’re going to fall to the ground below. Based on the laws of gravity, heat from the flame, and the molecules of water, the facts will show your body what facts are regardless of your feelings towards them.

Now that we got the “facts” part out of the way, let’s explore the five families “allegedly” controlling the world.

Now before we get into the nitty-gritty, this is the Court of The Diary. That means these powerful families need a defense. I’ve been curious to see what it would look like if there was someone who actually spoke on their behalf. In other words; facts don’t need explaining (you know, water don’t have to prove it’s not dry?), but accusations, conspiracies and allegations do. Just like in the court of law; the defendant lives in a nation where YOU’RE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT…if that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t be called a defendant, for if you’re innocent first, why defend? Defend what? So all this “innocent until proven guilty” is all bullshit, and most people I come across prove that point every time I mention the Rothschild, Rockefeller and Charles Manson.

And let’s not forget Adolf Hitler, Mao and Stalin.

So here we go, and I’ll act like their attorney. Remember, they have a right to a defense and their side of the story. Right?

As you begin to understand world governments don’t have your best interests in mind — that enemies of the State could more aptly be called enemies of the globe’s corporate and banking elite — power comes sharply into focus. (Those) who actually hold the power control the world’s economies, and it’s clear the fates of over 7.4 billion souls now inhabiting the planet are, at best, the least of their concern.

I object your honor! I actually agree that governments DON’T have you best interest in mind. Because not every person has the same interest. How do the government know who’s interest is apart from the other? Your own interest has to do with your own “state” of mind. If anyone interfere with your interest, aren’t they an enemy of your state of mind? And can you please tell the court your own independent definition of the word “elite” and “enemy?”

Regarding “7.4 billion souls”. Is that a proven count of people around the globe from your own personal account? Are you trusting the source you got this information from? And have you accounted the possible millions of indigenous and “off the grid” tribes as well?

No further…

Of those at the top of food chain, so to speak, a small collection of families dictates both domestic and foreign policy — mainly through fuelling “war” and conflict for the good of the military and pharmaceutical industries, and to a greater extent, corporate and central banks.

You mentioning here domestic and foreign policies. Are you currently a member of each bodies of government here in the states as well as all over the world?

You’re accusing my clients of “dictating” these policies by fueling war including the military and pharmaceutical companies. Are you a major shareholder, or on the board of these companies affected?

What’s your personal feelings towards corporations?

In order for military to work, you need willing troops, correct? And where does these troops come from?

Do they have the independent ability to choose rather to join the military or not?

In your independent definition, what is war? And do it require a compliance from that soldier for war to happen?

You mentioned pharmaceuticals. How many people who choose to exercise homeopathic approaches to their illness prefer prescription drugs than those who choose not to?

I would assume that you know all the “facts” about these families so I assumed you would know my last question. How many people depend on the pharmaceuticals for their health treatment?

Didn’t they make a choice to spend their money on these pharmaceuticals when they get a prescription?

No further…

Five families, in particular, have made a killing off killing — from the enormously lucrative business of debt it creates to the industries feeding off the plundering of world resources — and therefore control the world.

When you say “made a killing off killing”, what do you mean by that? Can you elaborate?

My understanding you say the business of debt is lucrative. Who request debt? I’m curious because from my personal experience, people go to the bank voluntarily to get a loan, a mortgage or apply for a credit card. No one forces them to buy it they just want it, what’s the crime in that?

If the business of debt is so lucrative, why aren’t you capitalizing on it?

You alledged my clients use industries to “feed off the plundering of world resource”. Do you have any physical evidence and proof of this allegation? Did you see them create these industries?

No further…

5. Rothschild

Perhaps the most well-known among those five are the Rothschilds, whose dominance of central banks, nefarious insider trading, and nearly invisible hand in world governance — without consideration for the greater good — frequently earns the blanket description, evil.

I always say that “bad” and “evil” is within the eyes and ears of the beholder. In other words, one way is bad to one person while that same way is good to the other. Now you mentioned “well known”. By whom? Did you know Mr. Rothschild in person?

What’s the “greater good”? What does that mean to you?

And what is evil from your own personal definition?

Would it make sense to say that not everyone in this planet have the same feelings or opinions of “good”, “bad” and “evil” as you?

No further…

Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s dealing in rare coins and antiques in Frankfurt, Germany, in the 1760s earned a rich patronage, allowing him to broaden his focus to include banking by the 1790s. In its 2005 list of 20 of “The Most Influential Businessmen” of all time, Forbes describes Rothschild as a founding father of international finance,” who “helped invent modern banking by introducing concepts such as diversification, rapid communication, confidentiality and high volume.”

Carrying on the various aspects of the family businesses, Rothschild’s five sons “effectively formed a multinational bank.” During the Napoleonic Wars, they facilitated“loans to warring regimes and traded in cotton, arms, and wheat in defiance of Napoleon’s ban on British exports” — cementing the family’s prominence in political circles as well as influence over governmental affairs. Nathan Mayer Rothschild formed the eponymous bank in London and financed the Duke of Wellington’s interests during those wars.

Estimates of the Rothschild family’s net worth vary greatly, in part because Mayer Amschel dictated a male-only inheritance structure in his will, forcing female descendants into family marriages to maintain their grasp on wealth. Additionally, the sheer number of family members and locations of Rothschild financial and business dealings make assessing the totality of family wealth virtually impossible — though it’s rumored to be in the hundreds of billions.

Cloaked in secrecy for centuries, rumors concerning the Rothschild family run the gamut — including the widely held suspicion it maintains a degree of control over the U.S. federal reserve. One defining fact about the Rothschilds — noted by both establishment historians and so-called conspiracy theorists, alike — has been its astonishing abilities to not only maintain such a high degree of wealth and influence, but to keep numerous businesses under family control over such a long period of time.

Mergers and partnerships aid have absolutely assisted the Rothschilds’ rise to power, such as the 2012 purchase by the Rothschild Investment Trust of a 37 percent stake in Rockefeller Financial Services — which cemented the family’s financial ties to the second dynasty in this list.

I’ve actually heard this story before. The question I have for you is…

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t there when he had his “antique coin business”, but the thing that stuck out to me was he started a business, and had clientele who voluntarily did business with him.

Where’s the crime in that?

He diversified his company’s portfolio, and someone came to him to finance some wars. Well, as a businessman would he let a good deal go cold? Is war personal, or it it just business? Can a bank control what you do with the loan they gave you when the money’s in your bank account? Is it the bank’s fault after you make the transaction?

According to the allegations, it looks to me as Rothschild is being accused of being a very well calculated and successful businessman. And, his entire descendants are being prosecuted for maintaining the family business.

So the question is this; who should be prosecuted, the one who wrote the check (Rothschild), or the one who cashed it (your politician)?

Who should be prosecuted, the bank who underwrote the mortgage, or the one’s buying the home?

4. Rockefeller

Son of a conman, John Davidson Rockefeller effectively began to solidify his American empire after buying out several partners who owned Cleveland’s largest oil refinery in 1865 — which became the foundation for the formation of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870. By then purchasing rival refineries and distributing its oil around the world, Standard — and Rockefeller — established a staggering monopoly on the industry, cornering some 90 percent of America’s refineries and pipelines.

He made them an offer, they sold. The basics of trading. However my question is; were you there when the transaction was executed?

Rockefeller’s pursuit of the market extended to every facet of Standard’s business, and “In order to exploit economies of scale, Standard Oil did everything from build its own oil barrels to employ its own scientists to figure out new uses for petroleum by-products,”according to History.com. Simply labeling Standard Oil a monopoly not only undercuts the company’s breadth, but downplays the savage and covert tactics Rockefeller employed to maintain its control over American oil.

What does “savage” mean to you? And what do you mean by “covert”?

The word “covert” has such a dirty word-like connotation doesn’t it? Is covert another simplier way of saying ‘not letting your left hand know what your right hand’s doing’?

Thanks in part to a series of 19 articles by Ida Tarbell, published in 1902 by McClure’s Magazine, the U.S. attorney under Pres. Theodore Roosevelt sued Standard Oil of New Jersey under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Over the course of the 1908 trial, Standard Oil’s dubious practices came to light — including secret deals with railroads, corporate spies, and bribes of elected officials, among other things.

In this court, it’s not what you know or what you’ve been told, it’s what you can prove. Can you prove without a reasonable doubt that these tactics was used during Standard’s business dealings?

Rockefeller “was accused of crushing out competition, getting rich on rebates from railroads, bribing men to spy on competing companies, of making secret agreements, of coercing rivals to join the Standard Oil Company under threat of being forced out of business, building up enormous fortunes on the ruins of other men, and so on,” the New York Timessummarized in 1937.

Though the trial resulted in the fractioning of Standard Oil into 34 companies, the government permitted the original stockholders, including Rockefeller, to keep their ownership stakes while putatively acting as competitors. Thus, the monopoly effectively continued for at least another decade afterward, though it arguably lives on in the exertion of power by companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP — just a few of those resulting from the official destruction of the Standard Oil empire.

Now, if these companies are descendants of Standard Oil, aren’t motorists continuously buying their products? Is that a crime?

Called “history’s richest manby Forbes in 2014, at the time of John D. Rockefeller’s death in 1937, “his assets equaled 1.5% of America’s total economic output. To control an equivalent share today would require a net worth of about $340 billion, more than four times that of Bill Gates,” whom the publication listed as the world’s richest man at the time of the article.

Other estimates imagine Rockefeller’s worth closer to $400 billion, and considering his habit of shady business practices, it wouldn’t be difficult to believe some of his fortune remained secreted away from the public spotlight.

What’s “shady business practices”, what is that? What does that mean to you?

All notoriety aside, Rockefeller stands as a testament to self-education, with his only formal training being a ten-week course in accounting — though it remains a matter of conjecture what good could have been accomplished had he focused his craftiness on other pursuits.

What does “good” mean to you in this context? My understanding is my client didn’t want to do “other pursuits” that’s why he became a successful oilman. In other words; he did wat he thought was good pursuits based on his opinion of “good”. My question is; if you had the power to make him focus on “other pursuits” what would that be?

In 2015, the approximately 200 descendants comprising the Rockefeller family were conservatively estimated to have a combined net worth of $11 billion — placing the dynasty well below the top of the list of America’s richest, at #22.

Grandson David Rockefeller was, in 1954, among the founding members of the Bilderberg Group — whose highly secretive annual meetings have long been fodder for theories that ultra-elite families seek to gain or maintain control of world governments.

Couldn’t it be because Bilderberg Group is what they call a “mastermind” group?

What’s the difference between that meeting, and a family meeting you hold and require secrecy among you and your family members?

Do you think that your decisions everyday regarding your transactions is just as important and affect the world as this “Bilderburg Group?”

Do you believe that every decision you make as a collective affect the world affairs one way or another?

3. Morgan

A panic inundated the U.S. in 1893, partly resulting from fear about the flow of the country’s surplus gold to foreign nations — but John Pierpont Morgan seized the opportunity to ‘save’ the economy and restore confidence in the dollar. Morgan had followed in his father’s footsteps in the banking industry, and formed J.P. Morgan & Company in 1895 — which, in effect, rescued the gold standard.

When you say “fear”, it make people do certain things–especially when it comes to their finances is that correct?

How did my client JP Morgan save the economy?

Were people forced to have fear during this time?

It seem as though Mr. Morgan benefited from this “fear” that was going on, would you agree?

In an agreement with then-President Grover Cleveland, Morgan “led a syndicate of bankers” — which, incidentally, included Rothschild — “to sell U.S. bonds to buy back gold from foreign investors. The firm offered the bonds for sale at $112.25 and sold out the entire issue in New York within 22 minutes,”according to J.P.Morgan.com.

So there was a mutual agreement between President Grover Cleveland and Mr. Morgan regarding a transaction of U.S. bonds and gold?

Go on…

With that gold and bond exchange, Morgan controlled the U.S.’ gold supply — allowing him the flexibility to then finance the creation of U.S. Steel, after an offer to buyout Andrew Carnegie for a price in excess of the U.S. government’s entire budget. After threatening Westinghouse — which had employed Nikola Tesla’s electricity using alternating current — with a patent infringement lawsuit, Morgan gained control of the emerging electric light industry and formed General Electric.

Are you saying that General Electric was NOT founded by Thomas Edison like the history books alledged? Are you telling the court that it was JP Morgan himself that founded General Electric?

Morgan’s unethical, cutthroat business practices — the creation of monopolies by eliminating competition, maximizing profits by slashing jobs and reducing wages, and lack of workplace safety — became known as ‘morganization.’ In fact, figures like Morgan became known as ‘robber barons’ for such tactics — their uninhibited greed fueled a severe stratification of wealth and became a popular target for muckraking journalists.

You’re accusing my client of “unethical” business practices. And then you mentioned “greed”.

What’s greed to you in your own independent definition?

And what’s your feelings towards “wealth”?

And his attempts to profit while exerting influence didn’t stop there. In an investigation afterward, it was revealed America had entered World War I, not for political and policy concerns, but for the profits of the banking and munitions industries.

Now what was your answer before when I asked you about war and the military? Was it my client’s fault that those who went to war joined the military based on their own free will to join? If every soldier (back then and now) all decided not to fight another battle again, would there even be a war?

Senator Gerald P. Nye, who headed the eponymous Nye Committee, vowed at the outset, “when the Senate investigation is over, we shall see that war and preparation for war is not a matter of national honor and national defense, but a matter of profit for the few.”

If this is true, then why do most Americans thank a soldier or a veteran that fight in a war? Shouldn’t a shareholder of a defense company honor them instead?

If war is all about profit, then do soldiers really fight for anyone’s “freedom?”

As it turned out, U.S. banks, including Morgan’s, lent over 100 times as much money to allied countries than it had to adversaries — and in order to protect those loans, the financiers urged the Wilson Administration to come to the aid of their allies by joining the war. Dubbed the “merchants of death,” arms manufacturers were again rumored to ally with the Morgans in the buildup to the second world war.

Who were the adversaries? And why were they “adversaries?”

And who told you they were adversaries?

Recent rumors have suggested a far comfortable relationship than the public would prefer, between what is now JP Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve. Despite the U.S. abandoning the gold standard, the New York Fed still houses the country’s precious metals in a fifth sub-basement — across the street from JPM’s own fifth sub-basement-situated gold vault. As Business Insidernoted about the ZeroHedgereport, which brought the seeming less-than-coincidental locales back into the spotlight in 2013, the public at large will likely never know if a tunnel exists connecting the two gold vaults.

Unless you’re a shareholder yes? Than wouldn’t that encourage you to become one?

Closing arguments:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. It seems to me as though this plaintiff is only presenting heresy, which means none of us was there to see these events happening first hand.
Another thing that strikes me is the way all of my clients are described in this article. It looks to me more like an instruction manual to see how you can buy your own country, and politicians are ready to be sold. Just by becoming a calculated and sophisticated business person.
Is that a crime?
The plaintiff mentions my clients being part of what they call the “Illuminati”. Now according to the Latin word illuminatus, it means “enlightened” or “bearer of light” of knowing thyself despite what indoctrination is enforced by the state and religious institutions.
Rather you agree with that or not, my question to you–the jury, is this:
What is an “enemy?”
And, isn’t enemies based on preconceptions of someone else feelings or emotions towards what’s being called an enemy?
The only enemy that exist is the one that refuse to challenge those who want you to think or believe or feel a certain way. Presenting an alternative approach or argument against the popular beliefs of the masses would make YOU an enemy of the state of minds who believe everything that was spoon-fed to them from a regurgitated recycled accusation.
The plaintiff want you to believe that my clients committed crimes of providing a product that the masses wanted. The masses is what bought the oil, the prescriptions, the loans, the coin collections–the masses are the ones who agreed that my clients had the products they wanted. Is that a crime?
So my clients wanted more power. So they wanted control over their business operations. They gave the politicians what they wanted–money. The politicians took the money, and then made laws with it. Is that a crime?
My clients could never be in the position they are without the cooperation of the free market, and the politicians they voted for in office. In other words, my clients depended on a cooperative voluntary action of the buyers for their products, and they were able to capitalize on what the people wanted. Is that a crime?
However, if anyone truly have a problem with the business involvements of my clients, I recommend not doing business with them. Never mind anyone else, it starts with you. It’s none of your concern if people continue to do business with them, that’s what this whole case is about ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
But let’s say the plaintiff is correct about my clients’ business practices. Maybe it’s a good idea to be another Rothschild, Rockefeller or a Morgan.
Other than that, what is the whole point of the plaintiff? So they wanted to show you the ills of my clients and how they built their wealth. Now you know that at least they were businessmen. Now what? What do you do with that? Point out all the misery of the world’s affairs and blame it on the “elite families”? If that make them feel good then by all means…
But what do you do about this? “Informing” people about it does what? What does it do for you? Honestly, we should ask ourselves that question. Can you end the Illuminati tonight? If that’s the case, are you trying to end “knowing thyself”?
If “bearer of light” is what an Illuminati is, then based on YOUR personal beliefs, is that your version of evil?
Regardless of what I said here, you are the Honorable judge here to decide who’s guilty.
Charge: crimes against humanity.
Defendant: Rothschilds, Rockefeller, Morgan were only strategic businessmen and paying politicians to determine the policies of governments all over the world.
Plaintiff: Rothschilds, Rockefeller, Morgan are accused of “manipulating” world affairs through ruthless business tactics and bribing.
If they’re guilty, you have to think of the proper sentencing that will affect them. And every decision the consumer and political leader makes is out of their control because some unseen force is making them purchase the product and/or service and they have no common sense.
If they’re not guilty, then they’re acquitted of crimes against humanity. And it’s okay to start a business and build it to a powerful empire for yourself and your family because you’re providing a great product the consumers want, and because of your intelligence and knowledge in business, you’re able to buyout your competition and provide wealth for your family so vast it last for generations to come, you become a target for conspiracy theorists, you’re accused of being part of the Illuminati and you have haters who hate wealth and prosperity and hate you for not sharing your secret with a bunch of people who shunned wealth based on their belief system.
Okay enough playing “their lawyer”, I really wanted to show the other side of the coin as if someone was speaking on their behalf. I have no opinion regarding these families for I’ve never met them in person. The last thing I allow myself to do is to have an emotion towards a person or place based on someone else story. Regardless of who it is though, every human being in this planet deserve to have their side of the story told–or at least defended 😉

Enjoy your transgender bathrooms. We just lost America.

Enjoy your transgender bathrooms. We just lost America.

 

(WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)

Before you read this article, I want to introduce a new concept to you. Everything this writer says, reverse it. You’d be shocked of what you read. I’ll give you a head-start at the beginning of a few paragraphs. Then after that, you’re on your own.

I learned how to do this after realizing what the terms ‘don’t throw stones in a glass house” and “we all live in a house of mirrors” truly meant, you can actually see what the person is thinking about themselves, and telling you what’s on their minds!

Yes, totally trippy right? But let’s be honest here; how can ANYONE speak or let along THINK on YOUR behalf? Even in a crowd of Americans, not every person thinks “American”.

How would you even know what the guy next to you is even thinking? If you can, good luck really seeing it.

So without further ado, read this article, and like I famously do, I’ll put my little two and a half cents in, then share your thoughts below…

Key=() are alibis of the self

While (you) I were fighting over who should use what bathrooms at Target, (we) I lost (our) my (country) perception.

While (you) I were arguing with coworkers over who would leave the country first if Trump/Clinton were elected, the “American Dream” perished.

Don’t believe me? Then perhaps ALL is lost. And I can prove it all to (you) myself through the eyes of a child.

The screens around our house in the past couple of weeks stand in stark contrast to what’s in front of them.

The television (that’s voluntarily watched) … the laptops (that’s voluntarily used) … the iPads (that’s voluntarily played with) … the cell phones (that’s voluntarily operated) … filled with images of the attacks around the world. Day in and day out, (we) I hear stories about “refugees” pouring into the United States. Broadcast are the sounds of tone-deaf leaders. Of anger. Of hatred. Of hurt. Of fear.

In front of those screens runs our little daughter. Just over a year old, she’s the greatest blessing a young family can have. She’s filled with innocence, love, joy and our hopes for the future.

But there was a lull in the media noise on Sunday when we attended Mass. Our priest usually preaches about love. Faith. Hope. But there was a different dynamic this week.

There was a different energy.

This time, he talked about the end of times.

Our priest is far from being an alarmist. Just the opposite. But this particular Mass, he spoke deeply and heavily about being prepared. “For we know not the hour … ”

He wasn’t trying to frighten people. But he also understood that he couldn’t be tone-deaf to the deep concerns of his flock.

It’s hard not to be afraid. It’s hard not to have an underlying anxiety. It’s hard not to wonder and pray over whether your children will have the same opportunities you did.

Growing up, I paid close attention in history class. And I’ve always felt a very deep sense of patriotism. I’ve always felt great respect for my country and believed that if, God forbid, we ever faced World War III, America would once again triumph.

Perhaps my fear, and the anxiety of so many others, is that (we) I were wrong.

You’re on your own….

We were wrong because of one simple line that I believe may have been written wrong. It should have read, “One Nation, Divisible After All.”

Have we ever faced a time when our country was so polarized? Have we ever faced enemies so dangerous? Have we ever been on such a precipice that a frightening and painful energy radiated through each of us, tying us together in some disturbing, unifying, powerful and yet simultaneously divisive way?

I’m angered to see that we live in a country where we have gone soft. We’ve become hypocrites, and we’ve become pansies.

We forget that our grandfathers stormed beaches to “protect freedom”. Instead, we demand that the freedom now come in the form of a shelter from hearing words we don’t like.

We flip out because our $7 coffee comes in a red cup.

We cancel concerts and cost people jobs because we don’t agree with a law that the people of the state passed.

We care more about protecting where someone can take a leak than we care about the safety of our children. OUR CHILDREN.

We give out trophies to kids who come in 8th place. Eighth freaking place.

We dig up the graves of people who have been dead for a hundred-plus years because they had something to do with the Confederate flag, and that offends someone NOW.

We say we hate what Democrats have done to the country, so we elect a House and Senate full of Republicans who proceed to also place THEIR heads up their collective asses as well. It seems as if both parties forgot what they were supposed to be doing and whom they are supposed to be representing.

I know I put my snippet two cents in between….but I’m going to let this one flow on, it’s getting pretty good. Don’t you think?

We pick sides and parties and teams and defend them to the ends of the Earth, ignoring the facts, pointing the fingers and hoping someone else will cover the cost of our skyrocketing and borderline pointless health insurance.

I couldn’t resist…they mentioned “FACTS”. That’s my neck of the woods!

The only “facts” that exist in this world is one plus one equating to two. No matter what your belief, patriotism of any country is, sexual preference or ethnicity is–every human being agrees that one plus one is two. Taking $5 to buy a product for $3 and getting $2 back for change is a mathematical FACT. Dipping your hand in water and getting it wet is a molecular FACT. Putting your hand in a fire and getting burned is a scientific FACT. No matter what anyone’s philosophies or feelings towards water, or fire is—they’re going to get wet, or burned. And if they disagree, that’s ignoring the FACTS.

Okay carry on…

We talk about the number of homeless vets who we have to feed and clothe and house when it’s convenient for us to leverage them like pawns in a game – yet tomorrow, so many will forget to feed and clothe and house them.

Okay I lied.

I’ve personally met homeless people (and veterans) myself, and based on my personal experience with them, they are a lot more smarter AND intelligent than most “regular people” would take them as. There’s most likely a deeper reason why they choose to be homeless in the first place. Some even make it as a career to “stay off the grid”. Don’t take my word for it, ask them yourself why they choose to be homeless. It’s really not all that bad if you know how to play the game.

I honestly don’t believe I am responsible for their “clothing” and “housing” because they’re grown and have the mind to take care of themselves. Sometimes, they actually want you to even forget about them based on deeper reasons.

But it depends on your own personal perception as well. Carry on…

We ignore the simple facts about our dangerously open borders and the lack of a vetting process for refugees, then we stand in horror as ISIS attacks and we ask our politicians how they could have let this happen. And then, of course, we put a fast lane in for more to cross the border.

Okay stop! Dangerous borders; is that a FACT or an OPINION? Well let’s see;

“Dangerously” sounds like an opinion to me. Going back to fire. You might think fire is dangerous because it could burn you if you’re not careful. It can also be safe if you use it for a purpose like cooking especially if you know what you’re doing. You can use fire to cook food for man, and you can also use it to cook the man. One way is “awesome” based on if the food is tasty, the other is “horrific” based on smelling his burning flesh after. But you can not escape the FACT that fire is a gas you used for either situations.

Borders are a fictional line seperating jurisdictions. What’s FACT is the other side is called Mexico. Rather your opinions on the borders is from your own perception of going there and seeing it first hand, or you got it from the propaganda mainstream media, you can not deny the FACT that it has a border between two countries.

Regarding “ISIS”, that’s also an opinion. There’s a good chance, I’ll say about 100 percent, that you’ve never been violated by an ISIS member personally. BUT, based on your “television, iPads and laptops, the media taught you how to fear something. Rather it’s ISIS, or them “foreigners”, you FEAR something based on what you’ve “heard” from a third party source.

The ONLY thing to actually fear and be horrified is fear itself. And fear loves company. In other words, when there’s two or more in agreement to fear something they don’t understand, the only thing they fear is their lack of understanding.

Carry on…

We put in place more gun laws to prevent the bad guys from doing bad things. Because for some reason, we believe that bad guys give a damn about laws and that giving them an open shooting range on a military base or school campus will somehow protect our citizens. But then we completely ignore the massive problem of mental health in this country. We’re more worried about the tool than we are the person.

What is bad? And what is good? I guarantee you that every person in this world has a different definition than you do.

What mental health problem do you refer too?

We cry out that police are our enemies … and then we beg them to protect us from the likes of ISIS.

Well it depends. Sometimes the cops are called, then are told to take their time because you’ve already fired the first shot on self defense.

We celebrate court rulings with rainbow flags that speak volumes about how far we’ve come and how inclusive we are as Americans … then we tell our neighbors to remove their American flags and stop saying “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Hanukkah” because it offends us.

Or remove their “Nazi” and “Confederate” flags because it offends them…

We send billions of dollars overseas to help the homeless in impoverished and war-torn nations while we cut the funding for our own food banks and homeless programs.

I’m wondering if every American citizen that make these allegations of where the United States sends its billions to, if they’re familiar with what a “balance sheet” is. And if they do, if they really take the term ‘taxation without representation’ seriously.

In other words; how many Americans actually demand a line-by-line balance sheet of the United States and determine where every single dollar’s going to. And if they understand the difference between a “BUDGET” of their government, and the “BALANCE SHEET” of their government.

Then, every American will be able to see financial FACTS of where the $10 is going rather $5 going to “war-torn countries” while $3 is spent on “food banks” and the remaining $2 to “homeless programs”.

Or is all that talk about “our taxpayer dollars” is just a talking point they regurgitate from where they hear from mainstream media and their politicians?

We get into fistfights about “under-inflated balls” while gorging ourselves on beer and wings at football games … while millions of Americans wonder how they’re going to pay their mortgage and put food on the table for their families.

Well I can answer that. Word on the street has it that this is a country of, what’s that huge “E” word that’s going on everywhere that help take families out of poverty? What is that word…

Entrepreneur? Starting a business? Millions of Americans were (and are) paying their mortgages and some by starting a home-based business without waiting on their politicians to “do something”.

That self reliant attitude of knowing they have something of value to give to the marketplace just like many thousands of households are doing today. I doubt the news is mentioning that.

And something to chew on: almost every wealthy family and household who’ve I personally met that started out of barely anything had two things in common.

  1. They rarely (if anytime) watched TV, or NEVER watched the news. (detrimental to their focus on their family’s financial and mental sanity well-being)
  2. They had a mini library of books regarding finances, corporations and personal growth.

In other words, instead of being scared of “ISIS”, worrying about transgendered bathrooms, and how everybody else lives and religions are, they’re focused on minding their own household business, and keeping anything toxic out of their homes AND minds (including their children).

Oh, and America’s still home to the MOST self-made millionaires and billionaires in the world.

But that’s a good start. Become very creative on how to pay for that mortgage or dinner by starting a good old American home-based business.

Carry on…

We fight tooth and nail over whether someone dying of stage four pancreatic cancer should be allowed to use medical marijuana while drugs like heroin are running rampant in our schools.

No one stop that person from buying “weed” period. Yes they have to buy it off the street corner, but there’s a good chance that dealer’s not going to take that $20 to lobby their Congress to pass a bill to “legalize” it.

Heroin on the other hand…them methadone clinics are something else!

I’m basically saying fuck anyone who’s telling a sufferer how they can or can’t treat their illness. If you need to go to the corner of 3rd Street and Main to get your plant, go get it.

But if you want to do it the “right way”, then wait for society to catch up to your ideal of “treatment”.

We teach kids that there should be no boys section or girls section at the store, but our kids notice that we won’t sit down with our neighbor for a beer because they have a different skin color and we’re too busy fighting over what is and isn’t racism.

We hold massive rallies demanding $15/hour for flipping burgers … but we sit quietly on the sidelines when our men and women protecting our country who make $11/hour aren’t getting paid because Congress is debating their funding.

Okay I’m going to defend the men and women in uniform’s sound minds by saying that they do start businesses of their own so they don’t have to “depend” on congress to “do something”. And there are local and national charities available as well.

First I’m going to say what might be the most controversial and “patriotically incorrect” thing I can say here. Ready you “First Amendment” loving Americans?

The men and women in the military are doing everything BUT protecting your country that you think it is. They don’t fight for “freedom”. How can they fight for something no one barely know anything about?

If “America” had freedom, you wouldn’t even need the military to fight anywhere, for freedom doesn’t need defending or “protected”. Freedom don’t know anything about war or a fight.

If you fear anything, you have no freedom.

Just look at September 11, 2001. Just mentioning that date to all who’s familiar with it strikes some kind of “emotions” in you. Then there are all kinds of memories that cross your path. Then that’s where you lost your individual freedom because you started to FEAR SOMETHING. It doesn’t matter what it is, you feared something, and it stayed with you since.

Fear is a multi-billion dollar industry. Fear is what sent those kids to a war they didn’t understand. Fear is what murdered millions of innocent civilians in the name of the United States people.

And fear is what caused every American citizen to criticize, demonize, and harass ANYONE that looked like a “terrorist, sound like a “terrorist”, and to anyone who designed art to even make fun of the terrorist event.

Then you fear demanded them to suppress their freedom to question EVERYTHING media and your government said about the event. And even if you ask questions, you kept it to yourself in fear of a patriotic “mob-rule” due to a massive DIS-ease of cognitive dissidence.

Don’t know what cognitive dissidence is? Well, have Kim Kardashian tell you.

The American troops work for major banking corporations. That is an allegation, however, when you consider every country the United States “INVADED” and colonized….

Now what if soldiers from these same countries invaded the United States, your town all because they’re “fighting for their people’s freedom”?

In other words; flip what the military is doing all over the world and reverse it here.

Then you ask yourself who’s the REAL terrorist?

We change our profile pictures to colors that represent solidarity with a country that was attacked by terrorists … then we attack our neighbors for being concerned that the same could happen here.

Yeah I’m wondering everyone was going to change their profile picture to the Iragi, Afghan, Libyan, Syrian and countless other countries attacked by the United States military in solidarity….then attack our neighbors for being concern of not caring about HUMAN RIGHTS AND LIVES.

Or does the human race ends at the American and European borders? Not sure of the civilized totem pole.

We’re terribly focused on what matters to us as individuals. Marriage. Cell phones. Birth control. On and on and on. We’re so worried about what matters to “me” that we forgot that in order for us to have a “me” … we have to first have an “us.” A safe “us.” A unified “us.” An “us” that can at least find some kind of middle ground.

Wait. I should be focused on “ME”, BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS WORLD I CAN CHANGE.

I can’t change “we” and “us”, because like I mentioned earlier, everyone don’t think the same way. And even if you think they do, how would you know what they’re thinking?

In other words; everyone have their own minds. Right?

It’s so tiring and boring to have a “we” and “us” that thinks like me. The “ME” factor is more important than your country, religion, social acceptance, and even your own family.

Yeah I said it.

That’s the whole reason why this person wrote this entire article, because they’re so caught up on what’s going on out there, they don’t realize they are interpreting what’s going on in their “ME” factor.

They’re at war with themselves.

This person has it all backwards. In order to have a “we”, you must first have “YOU”. No one is going to get you up in the morning. You get up in the morning regardless if your next door neighbor is or not. You make sure you’re not going to have bad breath when you brush your teeth before you head out, regardless if anyone in your country has either. That’s the “ME” factor.

But let’s say it is a “we” factor. And everyone decided to believe that “we” comes before “me”.

If “we” agree in unison that the world (including America) is going to hell in a hand basket, but YOUR world is as peaceful and rosy, you MUST dismiss your awesome optimistic life because “we” believe the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

Good luck with trying to find a “common ground” solution because–like I mentioned before; YOUR version of “hell” could be light years apart from the next door neighbor’s perception of “hell”.

Try to find common ground on that, and let me know how that’s working out for you.

Tomorrow is a new day. So tonight, before bed, we pray … just a little harder, perhaps, than we’ve prayed before.

Could it be that “praying a little harder” isn’t giving you the results you’re looking for? The thing is God IS having YOUR way in America.

We put our daughter to sleep and shut off the television. The internet. The phones. The iPads. All screens but the black and white monitor where we can see nothing but innocence. And for a moment, just one fleeting, precious moment, we’re once again one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I don’t expect everyone to agree with everything in this article. But if even a piece of it resonated with you, please share it with others and ask them to do the same. It’s time we start having some very difficult and very real conversations. I hope this helps start that.

Before I go on my rant, I respect this author’s ability to express their beliefs, opinions and thoughts on this matter regardless if I agree with them or not.

With that being said, I’m going on my rant. Not against this writer, or anyone who agrees or disagree with them. My rant is towards me!
Yes, myself. Ever had a rant against yourself? Ever looked at yourself in the mirror and asked;
‘what the hell is wrong with me thinking this? Or believing in that?’
It’s pretty therapeutic, you should try it sometimes.
Well I give myself a self rant everyday when I feel like blaming the ills of the world, society, the country, economic woes, terrorism, social ethics and everything in between on everything and everybody else–except me.
Remember what I said earlier where no one think the same way or time as you. It’s impossible. Everyone have their own individual agenda on why they do certain things. There’s a SELFISH reason why people go to work. That individual could careless about the financial well-being of their employer, they just care about being compensated. There’s not a damn thing wrong with that. It can’t be more right than for you to think about only you!
Yes, it defies conventional wisdom and every ethical measure you’ve been told to practice, but the “ME” factor is what separates you from the rest of the “God bless America” herd. The same herd that continues to believe everything the media spits out at them on the 6 oclock news must be true. Don’t believe me?
Then who is ISIS?
I never heard of “their” kind of ISIS. The ISIS I’ve heard about was an ancient Goddess of some sort back during the days of Atlantis or something. But that’s all, I “heard” about it, never met this goddess.
Who’s Donald Trump? Hillary Clinton?
Who the heck is Kim Jung Un? Never met the guy, have you? I have no opinion on anyone or any place I’ve never been or personally met. And even if I did, I have my own personal perception of them. What I do have is unconditional love for them because I have unconditional love for myself, all of humanity, and for Mother Earth.
In other words; I elect not to have media insult my intelligence to tell me what to think about the economy, someone’s personal lifestyle, any country, someone else version of “god”, or how I should feel about certain topics and brands.
At the end of everything I recommend to myself to turn the TV off, and any information I receive regardless of where it’s coming from lead me to ask these questions:
“Does the information invoke a feeling in me to have unconditional love towards the situation it’s focused on, and therefore have appreciation for the different ideologies and cultures all over the country and around the world?”
What that means is; with unconditional love, there is NOTHING anyone can do in this world that would make me NOT love them anymore, for love has no conditions.
If the answer’s YES, then THAT is the ME that can become the change I want to see in MY world.
If the answer’s NO, then THAT is the ME that can utilize my freedom of choice to shut the drama off in MY world.
After all, it’s only YOUR perception. Right?

Cannes: Phil Robertson, Accompanied by Armed Guards, Pitches Bible-Thumping Movie at Fest

Cannes: Phil Robertson, Accompanied by Armed Guards, Pitches Bible-Thumping Movie at Fest

Read this in its entirety. Then share your thoughts below…

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, on his first visit to Cannes, is, quite literally, a duck out of water.

He couldn’t bring his favorite firearms. And he’s missing his wife Miss Kay’s cooking. “If you want to lose weight, come to Cannes,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter while sipping an espresso at the Carlton.

He is here to sell a movie titled Torchbearer. Its poster, which shows Robertson clutching a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other, leaves little ambiguity about its message, with a tagline that reads: “When man stops believing in God, he’ll believe in anything.”

“It’s a picture of spiritual warfare,” the 70-year-old reality TV star said of the image. “A gun is gonna prevent someone from robbing my household and raping my wife and there’s five of them, and if I have a weapon, I have a chance. It’s like San Bernardino, if someone just had a weapon. Or Paris. And it would have helped [if the Jews were armed in Nazi Germany].”

Torchbearer, which debuted at a special Cannes market screening on May 17, won’t likely spark bidding wars like Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. But thanks to a full-court media press and Robertson’s lightning-rod quotes, the film is sure to generate plenty of attention. The film’s director, Stephen K. Bannon has a second film at the market as well, a new anti-Hillary Clinton movie, Clinton Cash, which he wrote and produced.

But it was guns, not deals, that were on Robertson’s mind as he held forth at the Carlton. “It took Bibles and guns in order to found America,” he said. “It did take guns to send the Brits back to where they came from. What did it take when we went up against the Nazis? Faith in God. Hitler didn’t have any faith in God. There was no Jesus with him. No Jesus with Joseph Stalin or the Shintoists who attacked us in Pearl Harbor. And now we have the current crop. No Jesus with them either. No Jesus with the communists. And no Jesus with the Muslims. They seem alike. They all want to conquer the world.”

I have to give Mr. Robertson some credit here. Now I’m not sure if every American citizen saw America being “founded”, but it sounds like Mr. Robertson was there when it happened. I’m entertained by the first encounter experience of America’s founding by almost every American I asked about regarding American history. I would also assume that Mr. Robertson saw a lot of action back in the 1700s. According to his experience and re-encounter, he saw the Brits get “sent back to where they came from” because of the Bible and guns. He was there first hand when the United States allegedly “defeated” the Nazis. He actually met Hitler himself and Hitler told him in person that he didn’t believe in his [Robertson’s] God, nor had faith in this particular God. After that damning and blasphemous conversation, Mr. Robertson declared that Hitler had “no Jesus in him” and had to be taken out. I mean why wouldn’t he? Why wouldn’t Mr, Robertson not come to that conclusion?

Oh, he also met Joseph Stalin in person too! Yeah, Joseph even told him that “Joseph Stalin” was his real name “for the record”. And the Shintoists actually called Mr. Robertson via telegraph [at the time] and told Mr. Robertson in person that ‘because they had no god or Jesus in them’, they felt like attacking Pearl Harbor just because. Mr. Robertson also lived under communism so he know first hand what he’s talking about when he said they had ‘no Jesus in them’. And the latest phenomena is the Muslims. He personally talked to Muhammad himself, and Muhammad told Mr. Robertson to be alarmed that all Muslims have ‘no Jesus in them’, and want to conquer the world through the United States military–er, I meant Jihadist.

And because of all that personal experience of “history”, the only conclusion was to know that they aren’t humans and deserve to have the bombs blow the “hell” out of them. ‘By golly we gon’ fire up the gospel in their villages until they declare that our god is Lord!’

Hey, Mr. Robertson knows what he’s talking about. You heathens better listen!

Robertson may be feeling a little vulnerable in France, though, since he sees the threat of ISIS looming. He is accompanied at all times by armed guards. It was unclear if either of his two guards were legally carrying firearms. When asked, one declined to answer. “I’m not authorized to discuss,” he said.

Well, looks like this “God-fearing” righteous bible thumper got a lot of boogeymen to run from. First it was the Taliban, then after that brand got played out, a new monster named “Al-Queda” came from the bushes. And now a new brand was invented by the media after they got played out; ISIS is now the new boogeyman. So in such a “God-fearing” society, are they starting to be afraid of their own shadow which might be the next “terrorist” after ISIS get old? You know, the war on terror is fighting against an “unseen” force.

Do you know what it’s like to be around a terrified group of people while fully armed with massive destructive weapons and shoot anything that moves instead of using rational decisions?

In other words; the popular phrase ‘shoot first, ask questions later? Or, execute millions of innocent civilians now based on fear, then find the proven evidence and say ‘OOPS’ later?

What a God.

As for Clinton Cash, it’s based on Peter Schweizer’s book of the same name, which alleges that donations to The Clinton Foundation and huge speaking fees to Bill Clinton from foreign governments and wealthy businessmen influenced Hillary Clinton’s policy decisions during her stint as secretary of state.

“To me, the Clintons have created a new precedent,” says Schweizer. “There are now mechanisms and avenues whereby foreign entities can help American figures become rich.”

Now what’s wrong with being rich? What’s wrong with wealth? Apart from the “Camel fitting through the eye of a needle”, the Clintons know how to play the game, so doesn’t televangelists. What’s the difference? Just curious.

(Yes, believe it or not some people still believe in that quote and take it literally. Don’t laugh)

Isn’t Duck Dynasty shown on a network owned by shareholders from, say, other foreign countries? Just wondering.

Pitching the movie, which is being handled by ARC Entertainment, as a film “made by right-wingers for Democrats,” Bannon says he plans to open Clinton Cash on July 24 in Philadelphia on the eve of the Democratic Convention and then take it out to five cities on Aug. 1. But he’s also in Cannes looking for both domestic and international TV sales.

Bannon isn’t concerned that fellow conservative Dinesh D’Souza also is planning to open a Hillary Clinton doc: Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party on July 22. “If conservatives want to see our film, fine,” he says, “but we made this film targeted to progressives, independents. … I think Dinesh’s film is to rally the right-wing troops. They are two different markets.”

Mr. Robertson is free to believe what he wants to believe. As well as millions more that agree with him. And I have no issue or personal problem with Mr. Robertson. I do find him quiet entertaining.

My concern is regarding quoting or explaining history. Any history.

No one questions history. Whatever their “history book” says, they set in stone and repeat.

For example; Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. I’ll be the first to admit that I WASN’T THERE, I DIDN’T SEE WHAT HAPPENED, AND I NEVER MET THE GUY. However, people who’ve never left this country, let along their town, know more about Hitler based on their assumptions of what the history books said than the people who actually hung out with the guy. And even if they did talk to someone who personally knew the guy or lived under that regime, they usually point out or speak on information that conveniently fits their own biased beliefs regarding any topic.

In order to really understand what I’m saying here is to ask this key question to yourself;

What is TRUTH to you, and what does it mean?

Then after defining what truth is to you, and what it means ONLY to you, ask yourself these two important questions;

  1. Is this information true?
  2. HOW do I know this to be true?

Then after you exam those two questions. Look very closely to your answer. Then after you mentally marinate over those two answers of the questions, do this;

TURN IT AROUND ON YOU.

What that means is only you know what is inside of you and your mind. No one else. I know, you might be thinking how do psychics read your mind? Well, I don’t want to go there in this blog for that’s a whole different topic. But the only thing a person (including yourself) can talk about is everything that’s going on with you.

In other words; it’s like when someone calls you “racist”. The reason why they call you that is because deep in their mind, they have an issue with themselves being a human. Because that’s the only race that exist.

That’s why I’m basically making fun of this article regarding what Mr. Phil Robertson’s “allegedly” said at this event.

Remember; I wasn’t there to hear him say it personally.

I use the word “alleged” because history itself is usually based on assumptions and allegations. Which means that the person who’s explaining history  most likely weren’t there to personally experience it. Their account of the event, or person, or group is only based on what they’ve read or heard. Then you have to ask the motive behind the person who wrote or told the story to them based on biased beliefs.

For example; a hardcore “born-again Christian” most likely won’t challenge the history of Jesus Christ or his crucifixion, or the stories in the Bible and account the scientific side of the stories (trust me I tried with someone, it didn’t go to well).

So the rational question I usually ask the person who’s trying to explain history is;

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

Now the automatic answers most likely will prove to you that they’re getting their information from a biased source. Usually either the media, some conspiracy theory documentary, or even the church or religious institution itself (which believers even admitted the Bible was translated multiple times but failed to know where the original transcript was or even said. For if they really knew, they would question their beliefs more often) to support their argument. Then, based on scientific mental response, they experience a mild panic which resort into “fight or flight” mode. That’s where they can’t explain their beliefs in a rational way, therefore name calling, insults, “rebukes” and sometimes physical attacks occur. Knowing all this, you prepare yourself for that to happen when you’re able to control your own mind while asking questions to those who choose not to, and depend on an outside source (or some God in the sky) to fight their battles for them, instead of responding intelligently and say ‘you know, that’s a good question. Thank you for the challenging insight”.

So let’s go back to Mr. Robertson here and his beliefs, and understand that there are millions just like him that believe the same way. I know, I grew up around them–and they are LOUD AND PROUD OF IT.

Which goes to understanding self-sabotage. And my curiosity of the justification behind why the “god-fearing” society of the United States engage in more aggressive warfare and invasions in “communist” and Muslim-dominated countries than any other country on earth.

And they want to talk about peace.

Speaking on communism. I’ve been curious regarding communism. We’ve been taught in psychological warfare-controlled government mandated (K-12) propaganda mills called the public school system, as well as through the media to believe how evil and corrupt communists nations were. I just find it weird that based on the “alleged” history and records of the CIA (central intelligence agency), THEY would spend millions if not billions of dollars, technology, and manpower combined, to convince the American people that communism is a threat—hmm. I wonder why?

Not saying communism is good or bad, for good and bad is only in the mind of the beholder. However, I’ve been curious of why they would want to convince the American people how great capitalism was apart from communism. It’s just me, but for some odd reason I think that communism looks a lot similar to “community”. It’s just me, but I like to look deeper into the “American” English language a lot deeper since discovering (DIS-cover=uncover) that the word MORTGAGE is actually two words with MORT comes from the Latin word (MORTIS) meaning “death”, and GAGE meaning “pledge”, or someone mentioned it meaning “grip”. So putting two words together in a raw translation it would mean “death grip, or death pledge”.

Rather that’s true or not, it had me question almost every big “English” word. Not trying to go to deep in the subject here, but that was in my mind regarding communism.

We will touch more deeper in this subject regarding communism on a later blog. There’s something else I want to share with you that I came across a few weeks ago that could literally shake up your beliefs and thoughts regarding the financial well being of you, your family, and the United States altogether. What I have in store could shake up everything you thought about money and the government.

Trust me. It’s far from what you’ve heard before.

Mississippi city ordered to desegregate schools 60 years after landmark ruling

Mississippi city ordered to desegregate schools 60 years after landmark ruling

© Rogelio V. Solis/AP Photo FILE- In this May 13, 2015 file photograph, an integrated group of Cleveland, Miss., public school students ride the school district bus on their way home following classes. A federal judge ruled on a desegregation case…

Nearly 60 years after the landmark US supreme court ruling that ordered schools to integrate, the classrooms of Cleveland, Mississippi, are still divided by race.

I must say, I really love how they use the word “race” here. Oh it’s not just here, it’s everywhere. But carry on….

A federal court ordered the Cleveland school district to consolidate its schools entirely on Friday, ruling that after so many decades of resistance, only dismantling and reforming the schools could bring the town’s two sides together.

In a 96-page opinion, the US district court for the northern district of Mississippi wrote: “The delay in desegregation has deprived generations of students of the constitutionally guaranteed right of an integrated education. Although no court order can right these wrongs, it is the duty of the District to ensure that not one more student suffers under this burden.”

I really want to point this out, the MAJOR difference between a “constitutional right”, and human rights legally protected by the Constitution. You can reinforce a right to government institutions. But it’s extremely challenging to legislate and constitutionally reinforce a personal choice.

If you’re scratching your head you’ll see what I’m talking about later…

To say the town has two sides is no exaggeration; the population of 12,000 is split east and west by the old Illinois railroad tracks. Residents on the east side are black, and attend East Side high school. On the west, white children attend Cleveland high.

The school district had come up with two plans of its own to mix the students, but US judge Debra Brown rejected them as unconstitutional.

“Six decades after the supreme court in Brown v Board of Education declared that ‘separate but equal has no place’ in public schools, this decision serves as a reminder to districts that delaying desegregation obligations is both unacceptable and unconstitutional,” said Vanita Gupta, head of the US justice department’s civil rights division. “This victory creates new opportunities for the children of Cleveland to learn, play and thrive together. The court’s ruling will result in the immediate and effective desegregation of the district’s middle school and high school program for the first time in the district’s more than century-long history.”

In recent years across the country there has been an effort to stop “re-segregation”: in the generations since the supreme court’s Brown vs Board of Education ruling, the white people in many towns have slowly sifted out of integrated schools by moving into certain neighborhoods.

I highlight “the white people” for a reason. Carry on…

But that’s the not the case in Cleveland according to Wendy Scott, dean of Mississippi College School of Law and an expert in school desegregation. “There are only a handful of cases like that,” she told the Atlantic magazine last February.

Cleveland sits in Bolivar County at the center of the Mississippi Delta, a torpid and poverty-stricken portion of the state that hasn’t known widespread prosperity since slaves hauled cotton on plantations.

There’s a reason that in this day in age of the Information Age and advanced technology of increased knowledge–the Mississippi Delta didn’t get the memo and got, well–shall we say “Left Behind”, if you will.

The fight to integrate Cleveland’s schools began in 1965, when a group of black parents sued the school district. They won the case four years later, and black students were allowed to enroll in the all-white Cleveland high. But about 1,000 white locals gathered in the streets to protest, and in the half century since little progress has been made.

 

It should come quickly, now. In her ruling, Brown gave the school district three weeks to submit a timeline to implement the consolidation and abolish the district’s dual system. The court’s plan, developed by the Department of Justice, will consolidate the East Side high school with the Cleveland High School, as well as the middle schools that feed into them – the almost all-black DM Smith school and the white Margaret Green school.

Vanderbilt University education professor Claire Smrekar, who helped the Department of Justice devise its plan, said in an affidavit the best way forward would be a district-wide middle school that uses the current East Side high school building, and a district-wide high school campus using the current Cleveland high school and Margaret Green junior high buildings.

Holmes Adams, attorney for the Bolivar County board of education, said on Monday the board is reviewing the opinion, and weighing whether to appeal.

My question to this is this; did they even ask the parents and kids if they wanted to attend the other school?

Have they even considered if the other school is even close to the targeted neighborhoods?

Do Cleveland know more about their district better than the Justice Department?

Could it be that the “1,000 white people” protesting based on other situations apart from “black kids attending their schools”?

I grew up in South Mississippi as an 80s baby, 90s child, so I missed most of the action of the “Civil Rights Era” of the 50s and 60s. However, I had the privilege to ask questions about Mississippi during those alleged “dark days” of segregation among the population from both sides of the aisle. Yes, from both older black AND white seniors who was in it first hand. Based on their answers uncut and candid, I saw why drama had to be sold on so-call civil rights related movies, documentaries and articles in textbooks. Drama sells, and it has been a multi-billion dollar industry getting someone to have a negative emotion about a person, a group of people, a region, and/or event that they personally never seen, or experience. They’re good.

I say that because I grew up in the “ground zero” of “segregation”. The kind of segregation that was promoted by the one group you’d probably least expect. The ones I’ve seen and experienced that promoted “integration” the most were those you’d probable least expect.

I grew up in different neighborhoods. It was a rewarding experience because I saw different points of views from a diverse of cultures. One was predominantly “African-Americans”, I mean that’s  what they call themselves even though they never been to Africa in the first place, but let’s go with what they automatically call themselves on queue. Another neighborhood was mostly “white” but most would probably label themselves as “white trash” because they were the coolest “rednecks” I’ve ever hung out with. And I’ve lived in multicultural neighborhoods where it was just everybody living in the area. The best thing about all of those experiences was seeing first hand what it was like to see and feel “segregation”.

From my own personal encounter, I found that “African-Americans, or I call black people were the ones that promoted more “segregation” than white people I’ve been around. Just like a bucket with crabs everywhere, if you were black and wanted to educate yourself out of the “ghetto”, you were considered “white”. When you chose to start a business and build wealth for you and your family, you were considered “a target” for a break-in and prepared to have “haters” living around you. And if you decided to move in a decent, quiet, family friendly (aka “white”) neighborhood, you were considered—drum roll—an UNCLE TOM.

What’s an Uncle Tom you ask? Look it up (remember earlier, Information Age, Internet and all?) 😉

I saw what it was like to want to speak proper, educated and understood only to be told if I’m trying to talk “white”. Talking about building up and maintaining my credit was “talking white”. Even hearing that I have a “white girl” instead of just referring her to just being “my girlfriend”. In other words, if you look to learn how to invest your money and call it “investments, looking to go to college or read nonfictional books out of your own organic intelligence, and wearing a suit and tie to school, you were considered a nerd wanting to be “white”.

Yes, I experienced more racism and segregation from most black people who pointed fingers at the racist “white folks” who encouraged me to get on “the system” because I was black, than most of my white friends who reminded me how talented and intelligent I was.

‘Umm, we’re in Mississippi. Why aren’t you treating me so bad and throwing racial slurs at me like the TV, history books and ‘Roots’ said you did or do white person?!’

So what’s my point from all of this? Segregation exist today because of what they call “tribalism”. It’s been a strategic social engineering tool since man knew how to say a word. BET (Black Entertainment Television), apparel, cliques, gangs, Holidays and even politics prove that every fucking time.

I bet you could tell based on “research and statistics” how many people plan to vote Democrat and Republican this election year without knowing anything about the Libertarian and Green party. People in groups (especially in ethnic and religious groups) put all their cards on the table and let the left hand know what their right hand’s doing because they are the loudest people in the bunch. They tell you they’re coming before they get up to walk towards you. Apart from going to “black churches” and “black-owned” businesses (which they will remind you without hesitation), segregation lives inside of them. And most of them have it based on a story they’ve heard from someone else. Remember the term;

“Kids are born to love, but taught to hate”.

Well think about that for a second. They learn to hate themselves from a group of people who also hate themselves. I mean why wouldn’t they? Why would they even have the word “racist” in their vocabulary? How do they even know about racism? What is racism?

I personally believe there’s only one race. Can you guess what it is? Ding-ding-ding! The human race. So, my assumption is that most black people are humans. So, if they accuse you, or anyone of being a “racist”, doesn’t that mean they’re probably the racist one? Kind of like how they say…

“The one who smelled it dealt it”

Regarding Cleveland, Mississippi I never been there personally, but I would tread likely and safely assume that this city has what they call districts. According to the article, Cleveland is separated by a railroad track. The cities I grew up in was seperated by a freeway and a body of water. However, just like my neck of the woods I would assume that the city don’t purposely move certain people to certain areas of the city based on their race, religion, you know the rest. I would assume that they have schools in certain areas that serve a certain population based on geographic information and data, and say ‘these kids in this area go to School A, while kids in this area go to School B’ just like it was in my area. We had multiple schools in the area, however based on the district, we had to go to a certain school because of the street we happened to live on, NOT because we were a certain ethnicity. Even in Mississippi, that idea what have been the most outrageous and ridiculous idea to ever be presented and would’ve been immediately struck down.

Next, I find it surprising how this article would encourage those who’ve never been, lived, or grew up in Mississippi to assume that Mississippi is still “left behind” and in its “Jim Crow” Eras. The way it was presented to me, I’m glad I had to ask ‘what’s Jim Crow?’ The only answer I didn’t get was ‘oh, the type of system we keep advertising through our “black-owned” culture but blame the white folk for doing the same’.

Now to make the record straight, I’m not blaming all black people for maintain segregation in their minds, and I’m not saying all “white people” aren’t the greatest group of people since sliced bread. There are intelligent and well spoken black people in Mississippi I’ve come across who I’ve learned a lot of things from. They just keep it to themselves, and unlike most blacks I’ve known back home, these particular black people “left the front porch”, and even have issues with self-proclaimed “African Americans”.

The bottom line? It seems as though Cleveland’s been living this way for awhile and . My question is; who complained about Cleveland’s school system first?

What’s your thoughts on this?
