The Stone Goddess called Stupidity


TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2010 IS A RED LETTER DAY FOR AMERICA…….WILL BLACKS DO THEIR DUTY?



If Blacks do go out and vote - for a winning election effort - they must be energetic and smart enough to immediately record the truth using all the print media available to us! Take credit for the history making event!!

           Without Black voters, this election is reported to be evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. Therefore, Blacks are said to hold the deciding votes to create the win we Democrats need! Blacks can be the giant maker if they go out to vote. Let us record our own history! We know that if the historical record of this is left to be written by some of our white fellow Americans it will be but a miss recorded “foot note” in the last chapter just after the pictures of Black slaves picking cotton and happily dancing jigs to the twang of the banjos!

            If FAMU can students come out to vote ……. all Black groups can do it too! This can be the time for Blacks to take their bows as the true Great American group that saved the US from ignorance, crazies, Bimboes, harlots, whores, racist, sexist, homophobe, criminals, and pimps!!

The Constitution provides its citizens this leverage and privilege! But that being said it has been the propaganda of public advertising of powerful Corporations, nar-do-gooders and plain old exporters that have set the overall view that all Americans groups and sexes have of themselves (e.g., Blondes have more fun, Blacks are slow, Orientals are smarter, white men are smarter, Bimboes can be president if Obama can etc).

For Blacks who are conditioned to accept that they are the athletes, entertainers, intellectual challenged, happy, chicken-eating, barbecue bone-sucking, collard green-swallowing, and buffoons of African Jungle Bunnies, that only vote under great encouragement of celebrations. They are America’s dumb but happy nonvoter that can be counted not to understand the power of this right. Blacks, like all other Americans have come to accept this brain washing self image slyly put out by the national media infestation that leaves us worshiping helplessly at the foot of the “Stone Goddess called Stupidity.”

YOUR VOTE HAS BEEN PAID FOR IN BLOOD- DO NOT THROW IT AWAY--GO VOTE!!!



Here is a personal experience I would like to share with my fellow Americans. In 1949 I had to take and pass a “literacy test” to vote in the state of Alabama. My test was given to me written in Chinese! I of course could not read this language nor could anyone at the polls! After three tries a white city official, who knew my father arranged for me to get the test in English!

Does this remind you of anything thing we now hear from the Tea Party ?

If that does not catch your attention, maybe the fact that when my sainted mother tried to vote, she was pushed down a flight of four steps to the Court House hurting her badly.

Yes, voting is and was an important and coveted exercise which was kept from those who were thought undeserving- Blacks, Mexican’s and dogs.

Listen up, learn from history! Now in 2010 when voting is easy, why do American Blacks (and others) choose not to vote??

GO OUT AND VOTE IT IS YOUR EARNED PRIVILEGE AND RIGHT!!

CHINESE, IRANIAN, RUSSIAN, AND CORPORATIONS ARE BUYING THIS ELECTION!!!



There are times when being afraid is necessary. This voting cycle is one of them. Yes, be ye afraid, be ye very afraid!! This is one of the most important voting years that the US has seen, maybe, in its history. But it will be one of the most difficult elections for the American voter to make a good choice because the Far Right Conservatives have solicited at the least ten times more money than the Progressives and the Democratic Party! This money has been received from corporations, wealthy, and foreign governments such as China, Iran, and Russia all of which are opposed to the policies that Obama and the progressive voters are trying to implement.

The American voter is seeing ten times more media ads in support of the Republicans and other Far Right Conservatives than those of the Democrats. These ads are mostly negative, void of truth and highly inflammatory. Therefore, the voting public that really does not have the time to evaluate these ads must depend on some rules of thumb to make a reasonable decision on whom to vote for. They must depend on others who have the time and resources to evaluate all the garbage that conservatives are circulating.

Who will then, provide  voters with honest information upon which they can make their decision to vote? 

There are such people as Rachael Maddow, Keith Olberman, Franklyspeaking.info, Chris Matthews, Gantt Report, Hard Ball, sometimes Cooper of CNN, Ralph Nader, Common Cause, Moveon.org, and generally speaking, CSPAN.

Others include Michelle Bisden radio 96.1, Tom Joyner Show, radio 96.,1 Capital Outlook, Westside Gazette, Daytona Times, Washington Post (sometimes).

Sources to avoid maybe; Tea Party, Steele Chairman Republican Party, Joe on Morning Joe of MSNBC, Hannity on FOX, FOX in general, Rush Limbaugh, and Karl Rove.

Further, always look at who is paying for any ad you see on TV before deciding how useful if is (The Chamber of Commerce is alleged to be foreign money)!
           
AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WE MUST VOTE AND STRIKE A BLOW FOR REASON AND FREEDOM FROM IGNORANCE AND HATE!!

THE BABY BOOMERS INADVERTENTLY WORKED TO MAKE THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS OUR REALITY!!


 (WRITTEN 2010)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Hurray!!! Progressives and Obama have finally started to fire up their base! For a while it looked as though “The Tea Partiers” were going to be the only group with the enthusiasm to make a solid accountable voting group during this 2010election.

This is the year that will test the will of America to take back it’s “Of, by, and for people's Constitutional Agreement/Rights.” It is in our interest to understand what and who has brought America's economy to its knees and dissolved the Middle Class.

It was the effective, efficient skills of the “Baby Boomers” that provided the ultimate support to “Capitalism American Style” that made this economic Institution the challenge to Government. Why is this so?

While Corporations, with the encouragement of Universities and Government, invested in the education and training of the Baby Boomers in their universities and produced the ultimate group of single-minded educated support to the already wealthy business owners. These Baby Boomers became educated slaves and with their skills brought the most focused energy to increasing the “bottom line” with no holds barred tactics. The University Business School Curriculums instilled in the students that “Capitalism is strictly an institution to make money by any means necessary!” Deliberately left out were the ethics and morals that make the Institution of Economics/Business useful to the healthy growth of a human society? What was noticeably left unattended in the curriculum of The Business Schools were courses of Ethics, philosophy, Sociology and the value of humans in the objectives of a healthy thriving business? Greed was placed above Charity! “Collateral Damage” was taught to be an accepted part of doing business. Thus, we see The Banking Industry, BP, Exxon/Mobile, AIG, and Wall Street doing business on the dead bodies of the public. The Congressional Hearings demonstrated how little CEOs understood the cruel and criminal acts they were committing on the public. Tobacco was killing 400,000 people per year. BP killed at the least eleven people in the Gulf Oil Disaster, etc!

The objective of increasing the bottom line was always to produce a product with the least investment of labor and sell to the markets of highest return. This is why America's plants and its functions were “Shipped-Outsourced” to third world countries where the lowest paid existed and then back to the market where the highest.

Yes, the baby Boomers became the instrument of the demise of their own Economic Class, The Middle Class. They brilliantly and effectively created a bottom line machine, which required the least need for the Middle Class worker. They either sent the jobs overseas to the cheapest labor market or moved the “Service Functions” to the Islands and India!

Then America discovered a yet unspoken fact. America's education system has been turning out graduates that do not have that level of training that make them as highly educated as other nations. America has been for so long happy with the charade that our workers are more knowledgeable than most other countries! America has been deliberately “Dumbing Down” their population to the degree that certain citizens were being provided better education than others. (i. e. Latinos, Native Indians, Blacks less educated than whites) Oh! What a tangled web America has woven. This is why America is seeing the “Tea Party Groups” which contain racist, sexist, homophobes, ignorant, citizens, making such a powerful public imprint and chaos.

In addition, America is about to allow huge amounts of funds to flow into the public education mess. But this is only going to bring more quick fix artist and profiteers out of the woodwork that will make tons of money doing their thing. In the end nothing will change. Until America addresses the problem in its root cause, no matter how painful it is, a remedy cannot be found!

The Social Engineer cannot be The Capitalist. It must be a people institution such as government!
