Just Jewels of Truth



On foreign policy, the White House has executed very reactionary policies. That is just accurate and the evidence is too overwhelming. It is a shame that Western entities have used policies to destabilize or destroying sovereign states (in causing puppet regimes to be in replacement of these states). The full spectrum war against nations globally, which is total imperialism, is wicked. The imperialist agenda is justified under the rubric of “humanitarian interventionism.” The cloak of humanitarianism is being utilized as a means for drone strikes, and other forms of warfare against sovereign peoples. The Western empire has been damaging socially, economically, and morally in the American consciousness. Haiti has been harmed. Libya’s government has been overthrown by brutish terrorists with NATO support. The Syrian state has been attacked by thousands of foreign financed killers who murdered Muslims, Christians, and others. The U.S. backed a coup against a lawfully elected government of Ukraine (and many of the coup supporters are direct descendants of the Nazi fascist movement). Ukraine could be further placed in the U.S./NATO orbit. The White House is still threatening the democratically elected government of Venezuela. Currently, the White House does not respect national or international law. Humanitarianism has nothing to do with funding cut throat terrorists. Humanitarianism has nothing to do with capitalism. Humanitarianism deals with fighting for social and economic justice (and realizes that we must end this wicked system of white supremacy completely). Humanitarianism deals with peace not war. War is the antithesis of humane treatment. For establishment Democrats even to support this imperialist agenda is typical of the nefarious nature of the corporate two party system. On some issues, even the Bush/Cheney regime could only dream of this situation. I disagree with President Obama using kill lists and so forth. Domestically, we have the Grand Bargain agenda being promoted by members of both parties. Social Security not being cut is part of the budget agenda. So, we have the right to discuss about these issues. Now, we should realize the big picture. The big picture is that even the President is not to be blamed for all of these issues. We have long decades of corrupt neoliberal policies that have harmed society. We must place the President Barack Obama into account for his actions, evaluate black bourgeois politicians fairly, and fight racial plus class oppression in the world. Revolutionary, democratic institutions must be advanced. So, grassroots political activism and self-empowerment are legitimate ways to fight the good fight. Many Presidents were at first were reluctant to pass PROGRESSIVE legislation. They were forced by mass movements (who advanced legitimate grievances) to create policies that were in favor of the interests of oppressed people. The abolitionist movement (headed by people like Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglas, etc.) inspired America to abolish overt chattel slavery legally in America. It was certainly grassroots black movements not establishment white liberals who created the foundation of the black liberation struggle. The mass protests and movements among Brothers and Sisters ended American apartheid, but we are not totally free now. We are not free from oppression and discrimination. We are not free from economic exploitation and imperialism. So, we must continue to fight for the same goal of human liberation that past heroes have fought for. The transactional agenda of the current President has been disappointing. Yet, I am still inspired to fight. We all have the right to fight for the truth to end imperialism and to end any injustice in the world.



Spike Lee told the truth. The enemy planned gentrification for a long time. Gentrification displaces strong black power bases and creates more corporate power to exploit economically human beings all of the time. Black urban populations have declined in many locations as a product of gentrification and black political power will decline if gentrification increases. Not only are the poor are pushed out, but many middle class families are pushed out as a means for select financial interests to promote the interests of the rich. Folks who rent can't afford to live in places when housing prices have massively increased as a product of gentrification. You will notice that gentrification never fully addresses poverty, the prison industrial complex, education, or other real, relevant issues in our communities. Gentrification is a sign that pure black self-determination is more than a goal that we should institute. It is a true necessity in our world today as black people. Also, I find that gentrification regularly eliminates the cultural uniqueness of locations. It just makes many cities blander culturally (with the elimination possibly of historical landmarks and fundamental places that have a long cultural significance) and many folks are harmed in the process that the numerous human beings don't know about. Sometimes change a'int good. At the final analysis, we are fighting white supremacy. We want black people to have economic power. White privilege has harmed black progress. Gentrification is a reminder that we should advocate for renters’ rights. Harlem, New York is overwhelmingly renter occupied as many black communities in America are. Black communities nationwide experience gentrifying pressures or soon will be all of the time. We are fighting for our lives literally as a people. African American communities have every right to be viable, permanent, and self-determining. The rule of money and the capitalist system profits under the backs of hard working black people. Also, capitalism is obviously a nefarious system that must be replaced with an egalitarian system that benefits the people in a comprehensive fashion. Both Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. before they died woke up a great deal. Their views converged. They realized that the token gains of the civil rights movement are not true liberation. True liberation is when the economic ad racial inequality built into American society are abolished. Dr. King told the journalist David Halberstam that: “…For years I labored with the idea of reforming the existing institutions of the society, a little change here, a little change there. Now I feel quite differently. I think you’ve got to have a reconstruction of the entire society, a revolution of values.” He also told Hablerstam that: “…most Americans are unconscious racists.” Dr. King wanted the whole current system to be gone to be replaced with a real system that benefits black people and humanity too.



It is obvious that the mainstream media outlines massive negative imagery about black people. Black people portrayed on many television shows, movies, etc. in negative ways all of the time (from being lazy, weak, overly irrational, etc.). The truth is that REAL BLACK PEOPLE are STRONG, RESILIENT, INTELLIGENT, FOCUSED, AND FILLED WITH REAL SOUL. That is why even foreign human beings ask many black American tourists if they are thugs or rap stars based on the media images that they receive from Western society. African culture deals with balance. Black people have every right to fight for a fair representation of their lives. All of us aren't Phds, but most of us are not crazed thugs either. The diversity of our image and the uniqueness of our stories have the right to be displayed succinctly in the world. Our great, beautiful black image ought to be respected. I think that they haven't revealed his cause of death yet. In many instances, plastic strategy does denote self-hatred. That is a given. These are grown adults (so, we can't force them to not get such surgeries), but many of these grown adults hate the image that God gave them, so they use surgeries to cover up their own insecurities. There is nothing superior to NATURAL BEAUTY. When we cherish our beauty as black human beings, then that is a great blessing from the CREATOR. The wickedness of Western society glamorizes a hatred of our black image. As Malcolm X said, Western racists have taught many blacks to hate their image and hate their blood, so many black people act nihilistic. The good news is we can educate our people more to love their BLACKNESS and appreciate their image that God gave them. In the final analysis, we should never be ashamed of our skin, of our nose, of our lips, of our voices, and of our diverse images. We are unified in this struggle for liberation despite our diversities. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. I love my image. We have great similarities too. Me personally, we should have universal health care that is fair, strong, and real. Also, just because we should reject extremism doesn't mean that we should not care about Nature. See, we have pollution, animals being harmed, and real environmental issues that we must address. We have every right to fight for clean air, for clean water, for the protection of animals, and for a greener future. That has nothing to do with setting up some UN styled Utopian system. That is about helping our fellow people and helping Nature. We ought to reject environmental racism as well. There is no sin in improving the environment in a real way. I am for helping Nature and it was the white supremacists that harmed the animals and Nature for a long time. It is in our African culture to protect Nature honorably.



RIP Chokwe Lumumba. He was a true populist leader. I did not know that he had ties to the late Tupac Shakur and Sister Assata either. Real recognize real as the old saying goes. I greatly respect the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement too in their fight for the justice of black people. Ironically enough, I only heard of him recently before he passed. Chokwe wanted a cooperative economy to handle issues in Jackson, Mississippi. I am researching more about cooperatives too and alternative solutions to our issues. Black people should not follow the GOP unconditionally at all. Black people have every right to follow what political party that they want without faux intimidation from reactionaries. Also, tons of black people have great intelligence and great sense to reject imperialism, to reject economic exploitation, and to reject color blind post racial fantasies. The truth is that black people have every right to advocate solidarity within their community. Black people have every right to come out to endorse civil liberties and reject threats to our voting rights coming from the enemies of progress. The truth is that black people have every right to speak truth to power. Overall black crime rates have gone down over the past 3 decades. Teen black pregnancy rates have gone down since 1992. Therefore, Chokwe Lumumba was a heroic Brother whose Malcolm X Grassroots Movement organization has ideologies that I agree with strongly and with vigor. Economists from across the political spectrum have said the same thing as this study. The reality is that growing income inequality will have a huge detrimental effect on the economy unless something is done. The late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was right to say the following words: "...For years I labored with the idea of reforming the existing institutions of society, a little change here, a little change there. Now I feel quite differently. I think you've got to have a reconstruction of the entire society, a revolution of values." The handwriting is on the wall. I have a great deal of abhorrence of the reactionary agenda as you do. If an independent liberal person or an independent person in general want to fight for justice, revolutionary change, and is sincere, that is fine. There can be legitimate critiques of the establishment Democratic forces, but the reactionaries are far more vicious in their agendas and outlook. If the reactionaries had their way, military strikes possibly could be in Iran and austerity will be much more brutal in American society. Certainly, mainstream capitalism has been an archaic, exploitative system that harmed our black communities (from the growth of the prison industrial complex to the high unemployment rate among our people nationwide. The vicious white establishment capitalist system has been very detrimental to the progress of our people). We do need a radical redistribution of economic and political power as the late democratic socialist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had outlined. Fundamentally, revolutionary solutions deal with radical change in the larger society too.



I heard of Kesha Rogers many years ago. She is a LaRouchite type of person. Kesha Rogers feels that the President is akin to Hitler. The LaRouchites are something else. Smh. They love nuclear power and they always send out papers on their positions in universities nationwide. Kesha Rogers is right on some issues. I saw her on Youtube for years. She is right that we should not have all of these unjust wars (that harm our economy and prevent us from building our domestic infrastructure). She is right that we should not have a Simpson Bowles austerity agenda in the world. I don't agree with her with comparing the President with Adolf Hitler though. Hitler was a tyrant who utilized genocide against millions of human beings along with using imperialism in many continents. Hitler was a brutal racist white supremacist (an enemy) who wanted the extermination of humans as a policy. Hitler was one key figure who started WWII. I think it is disrespectful to the victims of WWII to compare President Barack Obama to Hitler. I think Kesha is a product of many people yearning for answers. Folks want answers and more radical voices have popularity. Like always, we should have politically independent thinking. On the other hand, we should not ally with reactionaries who want to call the President & his family every name under the sun either. I love how the President and First Lady Michelle Obama love each other and their children. We have to fight for legitimate human rights and legitimate social change (without embracing extremist rhetoric). Also, the Nazis did kill black people in concentration camps too. The Larouchite ilk compared Obama to Hitler beyond just critiques of the Affordable Care Act. Her characterization of the President as akin to Hitler was false, ignorant, and disrespectful to the victims of World War II. Also, black people know full well about eugenics, its definition, and its application in the lives of people of color worldwide. We know about the Tuskegee Experiment and forced sterilization laws in America that harmed our Brothers and our Sisters spanning decades. I know all of her arguments. I studied her views and her arguments on issues for years. So, others can't convince me otherwise. Also, tons of black Americans know the total picture. The system of white supremacy has done more evil for centuries than the President has ever done. That is a fact. It is one thing to outline cogent dissent about the ACA (which individuals have every right to do), but to try to make Obama similar to Hitler is crossing a line. Folks surely realize the imperfections found in the ACA, which is why I call for universal health care. I know about the definition of eugenics. I wrote about eugenics and I studied it for years. The Nazis executed a mass scale of eugenics with support from Western bankers (and eugenics was about authoritarian laws, forced sterilizations, and other heinous actions that were much worse than the ACA. The ACA never institutes genocide, forced sterilizations, and massive killings of humans as the Nazis have done). So, Kesha has a lot to learn and she has to realize that the system of white supremacy is the enemy that we must confront in order to see justice for humanity. We should pray for the Sister Kesha Rogers to open her eyes and see the total picture. See, black people should not take their inspiration from LaRouche. I don't take my inspiration from LaRouche, Lenin, Marx, Engles, or Milton Freidman. I take my inspiration from the Brothers and the Sisters in our history that struggled for freedom and valiantly fought for true liberation in the world from Malcolm X to Sojourner Truth. Now, the Sister Kesha Rogers should not be scapegoated for our issues. She is a Sister who sincerely wants to fight for truth, but we have the right to peacefully disagree with her on some issues. I take my inspiration from the ancestors and from the Creator too.
