From Information Clearinghouse:

“Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. “In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended. Its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force of the people. “The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war… and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” James Madison, April 20, 1795

“The briefing paper, for participants at a meeting of Blair’s inner circle on July 23, 2002, said that since regime change was illegal it was “necessary to create the conditions” which would make it legal. “

They attacked us because of our freedoms my black ass.

Notice how the “Downing Street Memo” disappeared from the news, under the Brittany, Justin, Lindsay, Angelina and Brad blizzard.

They’ve got you coming and going.

And we’re just sitting here, splitting hairs, trying to get justice from an unjust government, trying to make Babylon Nirvana.

BLIND.

BLIND.

Divided by race and gender and sexuality, wrapped into a pretzel by this Ism or that. Protecting our sliver of privilege, defending it against “THEM,” the migrant/immigrant/interloper who came here after, who doesn’t have the same right to my goods as I do……

Insanity.

1.3 million there

How many millions here…dead, broke, marginalized, ignorant, despised, fucked.

We’re all fucked because we can’t see how we’re all fucked, but don’t say that impolitely, don’t curse, don’t use ebonics, don’t be ungrammatical…

FUCK YOU!!! Do you want the truth or to continue to live a lie?!

Oh, alright.

I’ll be quiet now.

What does it mean when people who once were Kings and Queens treat themselves like human garbage cans?

What does it mean when many of us are three, four and five times our normal, healthy size - physically - yet bemoan our lack of love and respect?  How much intimacy can we expect when our girth is an expression of our complex flight from intimacy?

If one disrespects themselves, they send a clear signal to the Universe that this is normality.  When I hear people complain about the quality of the people that they attract, or, that they attract no one, I wonder what it is that they are putting out that, like a magnet, draws troubled, problematic people to them.   Or no one at all.

I got on the scale a couple of days ago and while I’m not obese by the looks of me, I’m heavier than I want to be.  What comes up for me are a number of feelings and thoughts:

*I want to strive for perfection.  I know that I can be the weight (and size) that I want to be.  It is entirely in my control.

*I know that I use food emotionally, eat more when I’m distressed, depressed or pissed.  Food doesn’t talk back, misunderstand or confuse me, thus often there is no bar to me eating whatever I want.  But, oh the consequences!  I wonder what I’m afraid of, ‘what am I afraid of?’  Why am I isolating myself emotionally through my eating habits and weight.

*I attract where and what I am.  (Law of Attraction-speak; I know for some this is unbelievable, ‘blames the victim,’ doesn’t account for ‘accident/killers who murder innocents,’ etc.  Just my sense of my life.)  When I’m on top of my shit, not letting any bullshit stymie me and on point like a muthafucka, shit flows.  When I’m in my insecurity, embracing a negative outlook, laying in my depressed hammock, what comes my way?!  Turds of  every description mostly, though every now and then a pearl floats out from beneath.  And that pearl often reminds me to pay attention to what’s happening in my life, to learn my life, read it like a book and change what needs to be changed.

I am a King TODAY!!  Why?  Because, I’m treating my “Body Temple” like its a Body Temple.  I walked today and worked out with weights.  I kept the TV off most of the day. I wrote.  I put good food into my system and bought more - nuts, fruits, vegetable, all organic.

I believe that if I treat myself better, I’ll treat you better, better at least than I would have if I hadn’t treated myself with maximum respect.  If I’m a King, then I’m only rolling with Kings and Queens.  I think Klymaxx said it best:  “I love you, I love you all but I have GOT to go!”  We can bump knuckles, but I can’t let you in if you only think you’re a King or a Queen.   I’m allergic to perpetrators and hyper sensitive to self-hate projected at me and made my problem.

Distraction…Keep the focus off of them and place it on pathological black folks

Cover-up…Imperialist genocide in Iraq, plans for Iran, ongoing police state tactics, abrogation of the Constitution

Racial division…Divide and conquer whites and non-whites who are more alike than different and who have more problems in common - including a common enemy

Divided loyalties…Keep people focused on their ball team, their skin-mate - NARROWLY - with a complete and utter inability to identify the invisible hand that stirs the tumultuous racialized beverage

Confusion…’Nuf said

Do you all realize what’s happening?

First, Kenneth Foster, now, Mychal Bell.

Pressure.  Collective, organized pressure.  Results.

Could it be due to the pressure that black folks are bringing to bear on the system of injustice?

The white man is organized, this is partly why he pooh-poohs the spasmodic violence of our communities.  When we get organized, however, things begin to shake up.  White folks get shook up, though that’s not our intention.  Our intention should be to become mature, independent actors in our own lives and communities.

If you know the history of black movements - when we organize, they strategize - to break us up, break our nascent unification.  And I’m not talking about us as a people being completely together on A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!  That’s not realistic.  But when enuf of us organize and exert pressure - simultaneously - we seem to make shit happen.  Selective, conditional, case-by-case organizing.

PRESSURE.

Something is happening in our black world and perhaps now we need to elevate our vision.

Instead of only “reacting” to injustices in a more coordinated, organized fashion (which is progress of sorts) we need to begin visioning what our future black community will look like, refining what our values are and differentiating them from the oppressor.  If we and our oppressor share qualities/values, share behaviors and thought processes - which way too many of us fail to detect in ourselves - we ain’t leadin’ nobody nowhere but straight to hell.

Understand: I believe that we need to hash out our differences, need to deal with the “Isms within,” ‘we are not a monolith,’ etc, etc.  This is no binary equation; we do this all at the same time.

PRESSURE

What does our positive black future look like?  How do our communities look?  Are sticking with patriarchy, or are we open to creating dynamic new ways of relating to each other?  Can we drop the homophobia, the religiousity?  Nothing damages us more than the promotion and espousal of counter-revolutionary, backwards philosophies handed down to us by, who?!  The white man.

What kind of economies do we want to create, if any? How do we separate ourselves from this society while utilizing its resources for our own endeavors?

PRESSURE

We canNOT continue to participate blindly in the bankrupt institutions of this culture and progress.  America is designed to fail us.  As long as we maintain our individualistic, egoistic, myopic attachment to phony-democracy, to dichotomized, tru-black/patriarchal/elitist non-thinking, non-thinking that works for the monstrous, idiotic few - we can kiss our asses goodbye.

But here’s an elitist thought: where are the folks who are at the place where they can go vision at this altitude?  Where is are our Fidel’s and Fidelia’s, crouched in the hills above DC or NYC, plotting the revolution?

What about you?!

Where are Peta-picketers on this one?

I can’t take this shit NO more?!!!!!

They want you to be in mourning for the victims.

But you are one of them…the victims that is.

911 was for your mind.

Gift wrapped, shock-n-awe bouquet, ‘here comes the bride,’ married to her fear, triggered to rear up on her hind legs and yelp.

911 was and is for your mind. Never forget what happened without ever knowing what happened, without ever being curious about what happened, without having the capacity to dig beneath the patent lies to deal with what happened.  Or having the courage to then do what is necessary behind confronting the implications of WTF happened.

Look, but don’t look to carefully. The American educational system, which tests, ranks and places its uneducated-educated students, has yet to produce ONE thinker who can decode the rockets red glare that blew the THREE towers, precision strikes - pulverizing three buildings (WTC 1, 2 and 7), 267 floors into dust.

They want you to cry for the ones who died - yet it is the tearjerkers who did the deed.

They tell you that only ‘conspiracy theorists’ question the official version of events of that day six years ago - when it was and is a conspiracy that carried it out. How racist is it to believe that only an Arab conspiracy is legitimate for consideration, when the evidence should be followed to its logical conclusion.

Who had motive?

Who had the means?

What does a cost/benefit analysis determine?

911 is for your mind, is a state of mind.

911 for your mind…brought to you by the folks who gave you World Wars I & II, the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve, Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, the Kennedy assassination, the Martin Luther King assassination. None of ‘em conspiracies, mind you. Nope, the world is ruled by mad men and happenstance.

911 was not the first conspiracy-pyrotechnic-cinemascope production by the “Cabal.” But since they’ve got your puny little mind in their pocket, worrying about the N-word or race mixing, got you focused only on your narrow little self-interest…it surely won’t be the last thang perpetrated by these devils.

911 for your mind, ya’ll.
