Sick!!!!

I was scanning the paper when I read about a sick man (William Edward Ronca) that got his 10 yr old step-daughter pregnant.

His mother, cousin and uncle were in the courtroom and spoke on his behalf. His mother told the court that she did not condone what he did but she will love him and support him.

She said he's had a hard life and she still loves him. She also told the court that she suffered sexual abuse at a young age. The cousin, a 14-year-old girl, told the court that Ronca used to baby sit her and that he never did anything wrong to her.

I feel bad for his mom and what she went through but his cousin, so what if he did not touch you. Did you not hear that he fathered a child with a 10 yr old and that child that he was suppose to treat as his daughter.

The kicker is that Judge Gary Hill sentenced Ronca to 25 years in prison. He had faced a maximum sentence of 30 years. Hill gave him a lesser sentence for time served and because he apologized to the family and admitted his guilt, but he required him to complete at least 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole.

To hell with that, Abbeville, South Carolina should of whipped him like a run away slave and castrate him. Then toss him in jail some derange psycho that will not kill him but make his stay memorable.

Ronca your lucky she was not my child cause you would consider yourself MIA cause I would of gotten to you before the law. You sick "SOB" I hope your jail stay is something similar to OZ only worse.

For the record Obama is a true African American in the sense he is a descendant from a true African immigrant. Until a descendant of a slave has the opportunity to be a threat in presidential election then you may see me on that band wagon.
Rap is the fault of all the ills of black youth... It is called not raising your kids correctly. Stop placing the blame on everyone. The apple does fall close to the tree.
The light is there just open your eyes and embrace the truth, the true martyrs are crying and life is a blessed thing.
Study and realize...
Oh RIP Thomas David Parham aka the FIRST BLACK SAILOR to be promoted to the Rank of Captain on February 1966.

Dang I believe we got a hit rap song here. Before I continue my understanding of the hip hop culture goes beyond the radio. I do not believe his firing solves anything. Jesse and Al should be smacked both are camera hounds. I do not condone what Imus said but firing him only opens avenues that Stern taken and possibly more money. Hell the guy already has money if he is not foolish which I doubt. Al & Jesse how about tracking down the lady that got Emit killed or better yet draw your media power towards the education system and find out why kids of color are being classified as needing special education at a higher rate. Imus is a shock jock but when I got to here some illiterate pseudo rapper toss bitch and nigger around without no repercussion - I throw a penalty flag on the field. I support freedom of speech regardless of who it is at least we will not be surprise when some nut pops up.
Ultimately Imus is a shock jock and like standing next the flame covered in gasoline. He was bound to get burn.
Jesse and AL reps for Black folks....Damn the world is coming to an end.

120+120+120=freedom

With this lesson we can prevent the degeneration of the young. The problem is that the youth has no sense of self and that electronic binds those lost to institution fueled by their soul.

1)Knowledge-
is the accumulation of facts thru observing, learning, and respecting. Knowledge is the foundation of all in existence, for it must be "known" in order to make it manifest. Knowledge is the "light" given off by our SUN, which is the foundation of our Solar system. Also the Original Man whom is the foundation of ALLAH's family. KNOWLEDGE=SUN=ORIGINAL MAN.


(2)Wisdom-
is wise-words being spoken, or to speak Knowledge(wise-dome meaning a wise-mind), and act according to it. Wisdom is WATER, or the vital building block of life. Wisdom is the Original Woman because thru her Cipher(womb) life is continued. It is also a reflection of one's Knowledge, and is shown and proven by the Moon being a reflection of the Sun's light(knowledge). Knowledge+the reflection of Knowledge=Wisdom(1+1=2). WISDOM=MOON=ORIGINAL WOMAN.


(3)Understanding-
is that which shows and proves the completion of Knowledge and Wisdom(Man, Woman, Child). Understanding is a clear mental comprehension. It is the Original child which is the star. The highest form of Understanding is Love, the bond between Man and Woman, or Knowledge and Wisdom. UNDERSTANDING=STAR=ORIGINAL CHILD.


(4)Culture/Freedom-
Culture is one's way of living. Meaning one's language(wisdom), and customs(ways and actions). Freedom, is to have a 'free-dome', or to lack restraints. The Original Man's culture is Islam(freedom, justice, and equality), which is peace.


(5)Power/Refinement-
Power is force or creative energy. To Refine is to perfect. Power is the truth which is Allah's mathematics. To Knowledge the Culture of Islam is to have Power.


(6)Equality-
is the state, or quality of being Equal. Meaning to deal equally with all in existence. Equality is achieved by teaching others Knowledge and Wisdom, making it Understood thru Understanding.


(7)GOD-
Allah is GOD. The Supreme being, Black man who is the Original, is god, Allah, lord of all the worlds, supreme ruler of the universe which is everything, sun, moon, and stars(god is the sun in the solar system, woman is moon, child is star).


(8)Build/Destroy-
To build is to elevate the mentality of self, and others around self. To add-on positive energy to Allahs nation. To Destroy is to ruin by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive.


(9)Born-
is the completion of all in existence. To manifest from Knowledge to Born, which is the law of mathematics. To be complete in itself.


(O)Cipher-
is a whole. 360 degrees of KNOWLEDGE(120) WISDOM(120) & UNDERSTANDING(120). All in existence pertains to a cipher.



Kunta being assimilated-watch and learn

Roots 30 years later

I had a nice post to commemorate one of the greatest events in Black America. That is until I saw this particular picture while web surfing. I know the picture is two years old but the picture still threw me. Today I realize that my generation(70's children)and those afterwards never got the true impact that it made.
I have read the book, saw the movie and been to Henning, TN were the Alex Hailey museum is. It still boggles my mind what my ancestors went through. To be taken from your family by force and put through an ordeal of humiliation and torture. Eventually finding yourself in chains watching families separated or being bred like cattle. Whipped, forced to eat the vilest of foods and eventually your cultural identity is stripped and the proud history that you had is lost in the matrix.
I beg everyone to watch Roots and read the book because it is a American story that strips away the romantic image of immigrants and Ellis Island.
Back to this sorry "sob"
His remark about the picture is
"We don't see a problem with it," Richards said before referencing the Roots character that haunted his mother when she saw the photo. "Kunta Kinte — that was over 300 years ago."
Wonder if he still feels like that, I can care less about him being with a white girl, it is the comment and the picture in general. Two years later and I wonder if he has second thoughts about it. I hope so and if not well damn... We need the Drop Squad.
Parents you can prevent garbage such as this from happening, you gotta know your past because you are destine to repeat it. What kind of metaphore do think the prison system is. Young blacks are falling back into slavery because they do not know who they are in terms of self and culture.

Power

Knowing the true meaning of words is power. Unfortunately present society has been lulled to sleep.
Mystic has been affiliated with witch craft but the true definition also states that
"someone who believes in the existence of realities beyond human comprehension "
or Semite is much more than someone Jewish it is " member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Middle East and northern Africa" Phoenician,Arab(Arabian),Aramaean(Aramean),Canaanite are examples of Semites.
Also another word is paradidomi which is Greek for hand over has been translated in the bible concerning Judas as betrayal.

“I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.”
John Lennon

Hence knowledge leads to an enlighten understanding of the world around us.

Random Thoughts

I have not posted in sometime because I was in the blue. Not in a postal way just tired of the crap that has been constantly thrown by the monkeys in the media. When I saw this video posted below the gates open.
This world is chaotic and unfortunately those that have their hands on the sensory deprivation button is scaring the bejesus out of the masses. Those that do not fear the boogie man are going nuts because we know Santa does not exist.
Laws of attraction is true but no one seems to listen, what a person puts into their life is what they are going to get. The other day I was talking to one of the supervisors at the shelter that I work at about the need to get the residents some books not a 42'' TV and she replied that most of them cannot read. What is crazy is that she is black (African American for you sensitive types) and she could not come up with the logical conclusion that the reason for the abysmal success rate of this institution is that they fail to teach logic. An illiterate addict is a ticking time bomb because they will relapse when they are met with failure. I just shook my head and smiled while internally going "damn" cause majority of the residents are black. She is not the only contributor to the people in treatment facility but I would assume a person may have little compassion for their own.
I do let it discourage me I talk to those that are not in the "know" sometimes they listen other times they prefer to stager through life’s obstacle course oh well as the song points "You Do Your Thing" I am doing mine regardless what life throws at me. Life’s been too good and blessed me with a wonderful wife, children and family.

dignity

Stay true to who you are and everything will manifest. To many times people of slave descent have been taking it up the keester by false messiahs and gods. They have become blind by the words that ooze from the pours of the vultures that feed off their hopes and fears. I pray that a descendant of a slave or an American Indian makes it to the White House then we will know that a change has happen.
It is time to pull those blinders off the eyes of the fallen and bring them to the light of reason and realize that our world is just that "our world" meaning "self" which interact with other worlds which in turn means that everyone is entitle to something but that something is up to that person.
Love one another but not at the cost of your dignity.

Poetry

I am having some problems posting videos, I decided on a poem...

While being reborn
through THE EYE OF THE CIPHER
I see the lies of Benedict
And gladly Drench myself
in the blood of the pope
I'm not sure the reason for this agony
Cause I thought Mathematics was the
Cure instead of the disease
My blindness removed by
the spittle of the
Tatter remains of themessiah
Under the protection of the angel wings of Isis
My resurrection is complete
I am that fifth horseman that governs
Knowledge of the righteous
Man, Woman and Child
They are out there scrapping at your marrow
Only through the eye of Ra and the insight of Horus sight
Could Osiris be allowed through the
eyes of the prophets
Can you see man the Pope is the key
A Nazi in disguise just read between the lies
the bastardise trinity is
in the White House just look at them
The lies you must see
study &
Understand

Hopefully this country will have a peace march instead of an anti-war march because peace would be the focus instead of war... I know go hug a tree but I am tired of the media coverage over this war. Only a small percentage is sacrificing. No one is being asked to sacrifice something as folks did during WWII; everyone is still spending money on crap produced overseas. I would like this madness to end but until then we need someone that can handle a grudge match. Imagine Rudy Giuliani suplexing Hilary or Obama making Edwards tap out.. Man that would be one election worth betting on.

SICK & CRAZY

A jury in Miami has begun hearing evidence on whether convicted child killer John Couey should get the death penalty... This sick man kidnap and raped a nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford, who was then buried alive. Her body was found three weeks later.
Now the lawyer wants to say that the guy is retarded because he has a 64 IQ and also his sister came forward and said he had a bad childhood.
Well, I am not for sending this guy to the chamber... That is to kind, I believe that he and his lawyers should be sent to Rikers Island were a select choice of inmates are allowed to violate them in any way as long as they do not die. How can anyone run to the defense of this monster. He is lucky that Jessica is not my child cause I would unleash hell. There would be no trial cause no body would be found....
Another sad moment is some cat in NYC mugged and beat up a 101 yr old and 81 yr old ladies.... I hope NYPD pulls out the plunger this guy.

There Is a Higher Power- OH happy 50th Osama

Oh man... This month is on point so far and the best part "Oil In Cuba" Chock on that 45-year-old embargo Uncle Sam. Estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey at 4.6 billion barrels, nearly two-thirds the amount in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge...
I am not good at math but we may invade Cuba now since black blood is being spilled.
Another milestone good ol Uncle Osama turn 50 and he is still holding down the underground scene. Come on Bush we know you called him to sing happy "b" day.
Bush has a stalker and no it is not Condi hell.. Well we'll just let they lay there for now. Chavez in true Muhammad Ali fashion has been shadowing Bush. Chavez plans to be in Bolivia while the American leader is in nearby Colombia. And when Bush is in Guatemala, Chavez will be not far away in Haiti. "Chavez Boma Ye" I would love to seem them two in a ring, better yet a good ol' fashion cage match. That would be worth some popcorn time.
While all this is going on in LUBBOCK, Texas - A woman posing as a medical worker kidnapped a three-day-old infant from a hospital early Saturday, police said. It was the second hospital abduction in Lubbock in less than a year. In June, a newborn at a different hospital was taken by a woman who had visited the baby's mother. A tip led to the woman's whereabouts the next day and she took police to the 5-day-old girl.
If anyone notices a woman fitting the description listed below.... I will leave that up to you cause stuff like this need to be dealt with accordingly ie Abu Ghraib .

lately

So far this month has been interesting. Anna is buried while the Godfather is on ice. Banks fondling someone on her show and Yeshua (Jesus for you Gentiles) family tree has came into questioning. Personally I can care less if JC got it on with someone and shot out a junior. Hell there is not enough info on the cat and I am surprise that someone did not say the reason why you cannot find out about the bones dad is because you cannot dna test the big kahuna ie God since that was allege pops.
This type of stuff in the media is why the majority are pushing atrophy of the brain.A child died from a tooth infection because of poor health care system. The hospital for wounded soldiers that is suppose to be the flagship has pissed on those that sacrifice in the name of this country. Honestly I am amazed at the garbage that is out there and how much the population has consume.
On a side note I must give props to Stephon Marbury he is putting his name behind a pair of $15 basketball shoes that are constructed using the same materials as the other top-end basketball sneakers on the market, said Howard Schacter, chief partnership officer for Steve & Barry’s. Why did I mention him well in the era of Jordan and those $100 plus shoes, I like a cat(Stephon) that is up for making quality shoes at a reasonable price. Besides those Jordans are made overseas at 5 bucks a pop so f@ck Mike....

Mom Accused of Selling Baby for Car

Okay after a disappointing black month, March keeps the madness rolling. I had to show the parties pictures because they deserve something what I am not sure... Deportation possibly.
PUEBLO, Colorado Irene Lerma is being held on $50,000 bond. Police say she, and her husband Jose-Juan, purchased a 5-month-old infant from 23-year old Nicole Uribe. The price $1500 dollars--damn!! Out of the three only Jose-Juanis is legal.
I am not going to use this as a platform for immigration because Bush and his posse needs to be deported to WASP island. I just do not get how people have such a disregard for their child's life. I would fight death before I give up my kids. These people regardless of who they are need to get there ass beat. Well Nicole Uribe and her foolish husband need a good middle east flogging. Irene and Jose may have been doing that child a favor, if that women was willing to get rid of her child for $1500 god knows what she may have been willingly to do for cash. With that in mind send Nicole Uribe back not by boat but make her walk back to Mexico, hell maybe she would think twice the next time she drops another kid and the folks that want the child give full citizenship to the hopeful mother and child but keep them on a survalence if they mess up adios....

Black is Beautiful

Racism is alive and well, unfortunately blacks are perpetuating the stereotypes. Which ultimately strips away the dignity of the youth. Stop using the term good hair or nice complexion, black is beautiful, nappy is happy. I love my "permanaps" and so should every breathing black person out there.

Radio

I had almost gave up on radio, I kid you not.. I could not stand listening to the radio because of the same songs being playing over and over again. I have found a diamond in the ruff. The Michael Baisden show is on point he pulls no punches and it stirs the cognitive juices. 92.1FM Nashville TN has been a blessing.
Black Month has for the most part not been sporadic moments of light. One of those beacons is Michael Baisden..
Thanks Michael for making the airways worth listening to.

Soapbox: Black Month

"most ideas are stillborn and need the breath of life injected into them through definite plans of immediate action"-Napoleon Hill

F**K it!!!! F**k it!!! Just had to get it off my chest as I look at black history month. I am waiting Perv Jackson and Jar Jar Binks to do a special. I swear... Another Thing I am tired of is people claiming to be hood or growing up in the "PJs" because they grew up in an apartment complex in order to get some cred. If you do not fall under the definition below then stop speaking.
Public housing or project homes is a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local.
Notice the word project and guess who was herded into these facilities as if they were live stock. It was only a matter of time that the lab rats produce the desirable result. Healthy young bucks for the betterment of making the government fat. In other words back door slavery.
I saw this video and it just fit the motif enjoy... I got condi in my scope so shhhh... I'm hunt'n sell out niggers.

Black Month recap

So far nothing big has happen for black folks this month... This month has been for crazy white women, first the fame astronaut whom wore (get this) an adult diaper and driving 900 miles to god knows what to another woman that was bagging her man. So far NASA had the nerve to blame the stress of being an astronaut which could contribute to her break down... WTF!!! Lets call it what it is the woman is crazy point blank. On the opposite side of the fence is Ms. Smith... Well, I am not going to bash her because Anna is a good example of not being prepared for wealth and notoriety. I am pissed because two great singers died but they did not receive as much coverage. I admit that Gerald may not be well known but the Godfather died and no one seems to care. The man that gave soul to music and the slogan "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" I am tired of these vampires.. Oh and someone smack the dust out of Zsa Zsa's husband, there is a child involved and the only thing anyone cares about is money. White media is crazy.
On the flip side Ayman al-Zawahri (Al-Qaida's No. 2) has surficed and not talking about much. He says that "Bush suffers from an addictive personality, and was an alcoholic. I don't know his present condition ... but the one who examines his personality finds that he is addicted to two other faults _ lying and gambling" And follows with "So pay attention before it's too late, and beware of Bush's losing gambler's lie which claims that he, with the corpses of your killed and limbs of your wounded, is spreading democracy around the world," What he failed to realize is that we know that Bush has crabs.
Also during black history month folk still do not realize that Obama is not a African American in the sense as folks associate it with.. ie His father came here by choice, Obama has a shot since he can bank on the whole immigrant achieving the high rungs of the ladder and pose no threat to the establishment(not going to seek reparations or book Parliament for the inaugural party) Again it shows the desperation of black folks for a leader.

Reflection

Black History Month to me is much than remembering the dead. It is to remember the struggle of everyday life which shapes who we are.
Remembering why my toys came from goodwill or the salvation army. Feeling like we moved up when they placed showers in the apartment and worry about my bath water turning piss green before I finish my bath or better yet . Constantly trying to figure out why I had to wait til the first to get cereal from the top of the cereal aisle.
Looking at my mother rake her body over the hot coals of life trying to put food on the table while I secretly wonder if my life was a mistake. At times taking my confusion out on my brother not understanding the madness...
Getting assurance from my grandmother the eternal sage...
Looking at that sorry hundred dollar check I get a month from my pops knowing he is living in the burbs while I live in a roach infested poverty stricken neighborhood. The only fatherly assurance I got from him was pain, spiritual abuse which fed my ever teetering world. Black history to me is remembering the two soldiers that held the anchor which kept me from falling over edge of the earth.
Black History Month for me is paying homage to the two pillars that kept my foundation from crumbling. Black History is much more than idolizing those intangible people of the past but those right there in front of you.. Those that gave you the principles of knowledge, wisdom & understanding. I love all those that pave the way but my love goes deeper to those that help the God manifest.





A Tribe Called Quest Stressed Out

Ma'at

Black history
Has become
a White wash
Of a preconceive
Notion of Lazarus
When in fact brothers and sisters
Are clinging to the phallus of
Anubis
While dreaming about the breast of
The Madonna
Synthetic process of a
So call black evolution
Washed away with
The minstrel cycle of Katrina
While pseudo coffee shop revolutionaries
Has led a majority to believe in a mystery
Spook
in the guise of
Obama and Hillary
Not one has left the hills and
Wallow in the filth that has led so many
In the cycle of depravity
Instead they bow down to Big Brother
Not realizing
Dick Condi and Bush
Father Mother and Son
Osiris,Isis and Horus
are looming on the horizon
Ready to rip the lid
Off the covenant
And lay the hand of
Wrath

Black Month

Oh man, here we go again.. Black history month, a whole month of King, Douglas and Tubman. Not to mention all those ol' Negro spirituals that beg for death. Man!!! I am on cloud nine!!!
This should be the month that black folk should declare war on their communities, take no prisoners. Feb is a sad banner that points to the fact that the marvelous strides in advancement is a smoke screen. Poverty, incarceration and early death has become the dream.
Oprah, going to South Africa was some bs, you could have started a private school that promotes minority teachers especially men of color. You have young soldiers dying over some fragmented idea of the american dream. You run to South Africa....
Condi should sit her ass down this month, she lost any ounce of her blackness after she sat on her hands and watch her people die in Katrina.


So long have I been praying
Oh god help me
God reply go away I do not want
to hear you cry
I knew Jesus heard me because he spat in my eye

Mixed Up

Today I have reached my boiling point. Tyra 30 pounds heavier. Who cares she is 5'10" my guess is that she is much healthier now at 160 instead of struggling to keep the twig look. Obama might have attended a Islamic militant school when he was 7... I am sure his school at that time was no worse than the school that produced our militant president. Child Molester got life and he is 65, I guess better late than never. Some horse was put to sleep and the media showed the owner in tears. Rich folks are strange. Leading restaurant association is mad at Kevin Federline over a commercial were he posed as a fast food worker... I guess they never saw Clerks2. I guess with all the bs in the media the populace has lost site of what the two men pictured above were trying to accomplish. Today our school systems resemble fallujah but no one seems to care. A caste system is in place rather a person would like to believe or not. How else do you explain Bush getting elected?
This world is spinning out of control due to the dye caste by the power elite. We need to take up the banner of social change and demand an explanation for the carnage that the unholy trinity dick, bush & condi have caused.

Reflection

Fear is the
Displacement of knowledge
Or better yet
Lack of
When we fear we shy away
Coward in a corner
Of the mind
Causing atrophy to set
and our
Soul to wither
Fear is that shackle
That keeps our minds shackled
To a preconceived notion
Of eternal bliss
Fear is the truth which you run from
The chemical warfare in the
Hood is a sparked by fear
Ignorance is fear
They know the truth but fear so much
They choose to bury it in ignorance
The perpetual notion of
Fear and ignorance is an offshoot of
Tree of Life
The cream that settles in the middle
No one but ourselves are the true slave masters
Being afraid is one thing but
Submitting to fear is not an option

I Am Not for The MLK Holiday

Again we are bombarded by images of MLK and his various speeches. So call black leaders give their same ol' song and dance about how we came a long way but there is still some more roads that need to be paved. That is it besides Rosa Parks, noone else is mention.
I am not for the holiday because it takes away from the big picture and down plays those equally if not more important that contributed to the cause of freedom.
First complaint is the March on Washington, it is portrayed as if one man orchestrated it. The fact is that there were six Randolph, Roy Wilkins (NAACP), James Farmer (CORE), John Lewis (SNCC), Whitney Young, Jr. (Urban League), and King (SCLC). Bayard Rustin was the chief coordinator whom was silenced by the powers to be (Hoover and his cronies) because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era.
Little is mention how orchestrated and sedated the march became, noone talks about John Lewis and how his speech was circulated which eventually was censored in order not to offend the Kennedys. He referred to the civil rights bill as "too little, too late" and also he was noted as saying "We will march through the South, through the Heart of Dixie, the way Sherman did. We will pursue our own 'scorched earth' policy and burn Jim Crow to the ground—nonviolently. We will fragment the South into a thousand pieces and put them back together in the image of democracy."
The truth is that El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz had the course of action correct the United States should have been bought before the United Nations on human rights violations. It is hard to give civil rights when the premise of being human is not recognize.
There are countless people that go unheard or mention at this time of the year(MLK and black history month). We should recognize those that fallen and possibly tripped that light bulb for the civil rights for example Emit Till a fourteen year old boy accused of whistling at white girl in 1955. White Supremacists in the Deep South beat him to death for whistling at a white girl(I refuse to refer to her as a woman) by the name of Carolyn Holloway Bryant. There was an open casket at the request of Emit's mother. The world saw exactly what the sick and twisted devils did to her son. Till’s body was seen exactly as his killers had left it. Emmett Till’s head was swollen to at least five times its normal size; his eyes were knocked out of his eye sockets and hung down his broken cheeks. Virtually all of his teeth had been knocked out. Emmett Till’s entire body, from head to toe had been brutalized almost beyond recognition. Emit Till’s murderers were acquitted by an all white jury. A constant injustice that is repeated many times over in The Deep South. Oh and the catalyst Carolyn Holloway Bryant is still alive and Emit's mother died with no justice served.
Medgar Wiley Evers is another person that comes to mind, he was instrumental at integrating Ole. Miss. Mr. Evers was gunned down by an assasins bullet.
Beckwith the assassin was convicted on February 5, 1994, after living as a free man for three decades after the murder. Beckwith appealed unsuccessfully, and died in prison in January of 2001. The sad thing is that our tax dollars went to a proverbial nursing home for this devil incarnate.
I admit that Martin Luther King was a great man but having a holiday does not solve the problems in the world today. From my experience with the federal employment system it is a day off and for the school system, they should not consider any days off until they raise teachers salaries and improve the United States school ranking among other industrialize nations.
People come with the same line we honor so we do not forget, I beg to differ the prison population is overflowing with young men of African decent because they choose to contribute to chemical warfare among there own. There should be a Black Martyrdom holiday instead. Schools do not get out they must adhere to a week of intense history of the sacrifices that were made by those before them. History is never written by the minority, it is assimilated the majority should be the slogan.
RIP El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Dr. King, Mr. Evers, lil brother Till, Addie Mae Collins (aged 15), Denise McNair (11), Carole Robertson (14), and Cynthia Wesley (14) and those countless others that gave their life in pursuit of freedom and equality.

Malibu

Today I have bombarded with images of Suzzane Summers crying about her home in Malibu. Also the media kept reinforcing a brand of heart tugging which I did not get. This is Malibu we're talking about, I can care less about some rich folks and the stuff burning. Again America has shown were its heart is. I have not heard anything about the debacle of Katrina or what the government will do to compensate. Summers and the rest of the Malibu residents so fucking what.
Why should I care, give me one reason why my eyes should water. Bunch of rich folks homes burned.... The only thing that would bring water to my eyes is if it were the masses of the Union were bringing heat two the White House.
Today the media feeds off ignorance, no one wants to air the truth. They (media) would rather pump you full of novacaine.
The tribe of Lazarus is alive and well it is the majority of the United States. The majority which jumps on any band wagon without reading between the lines has led this country down a slipper slope of chaos. Until those that have been in the dark been fully illuminated, people will continue to die without reason wars will go on without the true perpetrators brought to justice. Revolution is change rather violent or not but eventually blood will have to be shed in order for progress to continue. The writing is on the wall and people will soon have to evaluate what is valuable.

Two Things of Importance

Ronald Regan, Christopher Reeve, Arthur Ashe are just a few that have suffered at the hands of fundamentalist that believe in a backward ideology towards science. The war on drugs should be conducted in a laboratory. The war should be waged against injuries, insurance companies,health care and ailments that create great suffering. The illegal drugs that we here about are not important unless we bring charges against this government for it’s involvement in the drug trade ie crack sounds familiar.
It perplexes me that this country once boasts cutting edge technology is now following the lead of warmongers and backward rulers of the dak ages. 300billion plus this country has spent on a false war and a bs homicide trial of a once comrade.
What will it take for this administration to own up and realize that injuries and illness such as spinal chord and Alzheimer is not a curse from god(I honestly believe they think this) I believe we should inflict various injuries and diseases upon these money hungry devils then, possibly we could get some results in the science community. Also we need to bring the insurance companies and health care on charges of crime against humanity. To many people have suffered at inaccessible health care. This country has strayed from the concept of for the people and by the people. Instead we have a caste system that allows idiots to take the helm and direct us straight to hell.
Again this administration has jerked of so much money that the citizens of this country are suffering. There are schools that have become war zones and people dying from things that should not be.
I hope that our next administration leads this country out of the dark ages. If they continue the same path then this country will crash and burn.

2nd item of importance
John Edwards has launched is presidential bid. I normally do not go with a possible presidential nominee from the two main parties. I find myself rooting for the guy. One thing I like is that he admits that he voted on the war and tries not to play the "Bush lied to me" scenario. Here are some other things as well:
He wanted to take incremental steps on health care then, but is working on a universal plan now. He's become even more populist in his rhetoric; at an event in Pittsburgh in August for the labor-backed group Wake Up Wal-Mart, he railed against the retailer for not offering its employees better wages or health insurance. While in 2004 he described the problems of poverty, now he has a massive, expensive agenda to get Americans out of poverty, which would include creating one million federally funded jobs at non-profits or government agencies, $500 saving accounts for low-income workers and making the first year of college free for students who agree to take part-time jobs.
I know that this could be smoke but after seeing him in his debate against Cheney, I honestly believe he was the better candidate in the entire race.
My opinion of Obama, my gut says he is a nice guy besides that and the fact he is biracial or black(whatever he considers himself) does not strike me as a good candidate at this point and I hope he does not side with the jackal(Hilary)... That would be a step away from signing your soul to the devil. Besides we had her for eight years and I believe that is enough. The other star is Rudolph W. Giuliani two words Amadou Diallo.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

T-A-N-E-Y-A is by far one of the greatest words ever utter. What is a Taneya, why it is not it but a who. To be precise my wife today is my anniversary and I have to say these past five years has been great and I am looking towards 90 more.
I always wonder if I am destine for hell because of the heaven she has brought me. I figure the Almighty would never let me double dip. I can only hope though.
I am writing the world to let everyone know how much I love her. I would have screamed it from the roof top but there is a noise ordinance and I am too cute for any prison.

Saddam Hussein Execution

We all can agree that Sadam was a bad man but we cannot deny that the reason why he was removed from power and put to death by the US makes no sense.
He was charged for the death with crimes against humanity for the killing of 148 Shi'ite men after a 1982 after an alleged botched assassination attempt. “1982”, if he was that bad then why did the Reagan Administration removed Iraq from the State terrorism sponsorship list in 1982. Despite the evidence that he did support terrorism abroad, the removal made Iraq eligible for U.S. dual-use and military technology.
Iraq began using chemical weapons against Iranian troops in 1982, and significantly increased chemical weapon use in 1983. Reagan’s Secretary of State, George Shultz, reported Iraq using chemical weapons on Iranian military personnel "drifted in" at the year’s end. A declassified CIA report, possibly written in late 1987, notes Iraq's use of mustard gas in August 1983, giving further suggestion that the SD and/or National Security Council (NSC) was well aware of Iraq's use of CW at this time.
The truth is that Hussein and the United States were bed fellows and interestingly no one from the Reagan administration have not been brought to stand alongside Sadam on the same charges. Instead the US and the new Iraqi puppet regime have buried the truth of America being a willing assistant at the madness of Hussein’s reign in the eighties. The execution of Sadam is clear evidence that this government has lulled the masses to sleep.
It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out if Sadam was incarnate of evil and Donald Rumsfield was over there during the “reign of terror” shaking hands with the former leader. I agree that the man was evil but he had help from the US. I believe Donald should be brought to trial along with any living member of the Regan administration and have them explain their actions towards Hussein’s regime back in the eighties. Unfortunately justice will go unrewarded and the truth will never be told and the true perpetrators escaped the gallows.

Genisis 27

My creation is from the countless experiences through poverty and the two most influential people in my life are my mother and grandmother. My memories consist of my mother racking herself over life’s battle ground in order to provide. Free cheese, WIC, food stamps is what kept us above water. I remember my mother saving half of a big mac from work and bringing it home to me. I dread christmas when I was a child because it was a disappointment, the only way I could have a holiday without wondering why are we getting the short end of the stick was through those tv specials. My mother through her sacrifice loved me regardless of how many times I fucked up. My grandmother gave me the deep south love and no matter how many times I confess my sins she stuck by me when my ass should have been in the streets. My birth was through the experience of watching my mother cry at a young age and not understanding why. My anger grew when I found out that my grandfather died on the railroad but the company never compensated my grandmother accordingly. My resentment is to the seed of absence that my father sow and I eventually did the same. My creation comes from everyday events of living in the projects watching relatives being consumed by drugs and violence. I never understood the concept of injecting or ingesting a foreign substance into the body but I new that death was perched on licking its lips.
Through out my life there were others that help buffer my world. David whom big brothers chose as my mentor was brief but influence me to write. I will always love him and his family. Omar my long lost step grandfather came into my life when I was at my lowest, help stir me back into knowledge of self.Those two years was wonderful and I regret that I was not there when you passed.
My experience mirrors countless people living in poverty our lives filled with disappointments that fuel the fire of resentment. Although I admit that I am lucky but there are many that fell short. I see countless people at the shelter that grew up in situations that reflect mine.
I was just fortunate to be bless with women in my life that kept on supporting me when the world threw in the towel.
I am thankful for everyone that help me along the way but they are many and our relationships were brief. Although the contribute to me being who I am it is my mother and grandmother that gave me the foundation of my genesis.

Lesson In Love

I learn a lesson in love the other night while working. As noted earlier I work at a homeless shelter that deals primarily with people that have substance abuse. While I was working a gentleman came to the door and asked if he and his wife could stay the night out of the cold. Being new and freshly out of the military I stated that after 8pm the only people that we can take in are those bout by metro for detox. I gave them some sandwiches and told them sorry (man I am going to burn)
Later that night I saw them standing outside the gate and I looked at him and his wife, all I could do is say ok. The reason for me going against the grain is because I was moved by their love for each other. They are in their 50s but due to the harsh life of the streets they look much older and one step from the grave. I was impressed and in awe of them. Here they are struggling, battling various ailments and they are passionate in the way they help each other maneuver. I guess what got me is that you have people in this world that have more than them but fail at matrimonial bliss. Anyway I said ok but I had to do a makeshift setting for them out of the way of prying eyes. Another rule is that couples cannot be in the facility at the same time. No one has ever explained the logic of this rule to me. The next morning I notice he had a hernia or something causing his stomach to stick out and it was sad because being in the elements in poor health only shortens a persons life expectancy. He had problems standing up but his wife in her frail state gain strength from somewhere and helped him before I could assist. I got them some sandwiches and watched them slip out before I woke up the residents or the oncoming staff arrived.
I guess what my point is that those of us that have so much more than them should take a lesson in love from them. They do no have anything not a pot to piss in but they chose to stay with each other and adhere to the sacred for better or worse. To me that is the epitome of true love.

incompetence

Recently I separated from the navy and was slapped with a heaping pile of bureaucracy and incompetence. My duty station was PSD Memphis, Personnel Support Detachment (place were you get all your admin stuff done) and I figured since I was one of the staff my stuff should be taken care of. Man I was fooling myself first the person(PS2 eberle) in charge of my paperwork in charge of paper work had my discharge papers incorrect and fail to mail them to me in time. Second, I am still technically on active duty although I am not getting paid the system got me serving. SHe has not completely processed me out of the navy. Crazy... This also affects rolling my 401 over (yes the military has a 401 it is called tsp. Oh they have not gotten rid of the normal do twenty and get a check either) or if I want to cash it in, which I plan on doing cause the book Start Late and Finish Rich has given me a few ideas and with the holidays a few extra gifts can be under the tree. I have called every office within my old command to figure what and how. The down side is that since I am staff eberle is the only person that can do my paper work. Now I found out someone else is assign(they are not sure who/whom it is), the reason for having a specific person to do in house business is to cut down on possible corruption and make things run efficiently. The problem I have is that I was the only person separating at that time. There was not much pressure. Then I realize there is no I in bureaucracy or love in incompetence. Now it is the holiday and the joy I was looking forward to i.e. loot for some extra presents is not there. I know the holiday is about the meaning behind the gift but this is the first time that it has been this tight. Am I pissed...? Fuck yeah because people that fail to do their job is my main pet peeve. Is this a warning when you're doing business with PSD Memphis (Millington) you beat. Anytime a place of operation smiles in their comrades face, shakes their hand and leaves them out to dry is someone that you cannot trust and I would not feel comfortable allowing my experience go unheard. I must add that it is bureaucracy that allows this to happen. Thanks eberle and PSD Memphis for a screw job well done.

The Homeless

Chaos is perpetual order, seeking truth and constantly finding momentum.

One man's life touches so many others, when he's not there it leaves an awfully big hole. Clarence “It’s A Wonderful Life”

The homeless is a voiceless populous that have for years the general masses has turned their nose up to their plight. One myth which I find appalling is that the homeless people don't work and get most of their money from public assistance programs. The truth is that many homeless people are among the working poor, and a relatively small percentage of them receive government assistance.
I have had little experience with the homeless until recently. In the past I dealt with the homeless in a non personal setting by having them work for an establishment that was my employer (temp agency) and when I worked as an orderly for a psychiatric hospital. In both cases I have seen the extreme polar opposites.
Just recently I have started to work for a shelter that deals with the spectrum of the homeless that have a problem with addiction to narcotics and alcohol. I have met people from all walks of life, people that were in the white collar community as well as the blue collar side of the house. Life threw them a curve ball and before anyone get a preconceive notion we are not immune or impervious. At times in each persons life hardship happens regardless. I never had an understanding until I talked to them and heard their stories. It is heartbreaking to see individuals that for whatever reason had fallen short. I admit that there is a populous that does not want to work but they are a minority.
Past elections have been about family values (gay marriages) and the war on terror which was a smoke screen. Both parties fell short addressing the problems of the homeless which proves their true concern is dictated by what is fashionable in the political arena. The homeless is a sad truth of America’s shortcomings. I challenge everyone to take some time and volunteer and get that degree in humility. Remeber that we are sentient beings that transverse through out this world.

Sanity and Rant

Florida, California Suspend Executions!!! Better late is a poor phrase, I'll just say what happen besides the screw up of Florida. Interestingly a federal judge in California extended a moratorium on executions, declaring that the state's method of lethal injection violates the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. They claim that the 2005 execution in which guards failed to connect a back-up intravenous line to Stanley "Tookie" Williams, the former Crips gang leader who garnered global publicity after writing anti-gang books was lurking in their conscious... I do not by it Swartz had something to prove or satisfy (power structure)
I am still amazed that when someone screws up what Fogel refers to as "far kinder than that suffered by the victims of capital crimes"
I am surprise that they cared about putting minorities down like a dog. I am glad that they have done that but if they want to bring a smile to my face then they would snatch up Carolyn Holloway Bryant the lady that sentence Emmet Til to a horrible death I do not care how old she is. Diaz or Tookie should have been sharing that cocktail with her. Then again putting that bitch to sleep would be to kind. Maybe well.. I will keep those thoughts to myself. She and her family are lucky time travel is not a reality because I would see justice is served since the very system that guarantees us or rights failed and a mother had to bury her child.

Before I forget ignorant blacks that have been killing their neighborhoods should be given the slave treatment. I would love to have these want to be gangsters taken out into the cotton field given the slave treatment. I am tired of seeing blacks do the Klan work . I am tired of people bashing Michael Richards. Yeah it is messed up but I am tired of people jumping on the "black" band wagon. The black community is perpetuating the stereotypes and the so call leaders fuck 'em because they are garbage. They are relics that have lost touch with reality. The true killer of blacks these days is other blacks. The same goes for any other culture ie each race has a tendency to kill their own although I admit there are exceptions but we’re in the here and now.

I am glad that they have decided to reevaluate a system that seems to swallow up minorities.

Priorities

In Florida Diaz was executed Wednesday for the 1979 murder of the manager of a Miami topless bar.
The execution went terribly wrong, in stead of the normal (if you call getting put to sleep like a dog normal) usually takes 15min. this time it took 30. According to witnesses moments after the chemicals began flowing, Diaz blinked several times and appeared to be mouthing words. Shortly afterwards it was apparent by his facial expression that sleep business was not according. At 24 min. They gave him a second dose and eventually he died. I know most of you would say who cares and to be honest I do see a need for the death penalty under extreme conditions for example Charlie Manson. There is a fine line between sanity and madness. Besides Diaz killed a manager of a strip bar, the circumstances may be tainted considering the establishment.
Why I am so angry is because the government is concern Omar Abdel-Rahman aka the Blind Sheik’s health. He was the one behind the first World Trade Center bombing (he did have some help from Osama. The man is no doubt an incarnate of evil but the fear is that his death may trigger some retaliation on American soil. Although some experts say it is likely nothing will happen and the spin doctors will take care of that.
What I do not get is that the Shiek got life and Manson got life but a man that kills a manager of strip bar gets death? I know each state has its on set of rules which leads me to seeing the United States as a country of mini countries. Each is its own sovereign entity to an extent only held together in the fabric of the Constitution. Why is my tax dollars going to a terrorist and psychopath?
My opinion is to take a page from the Nazis and make Shiek suffer and use some of Stalin’s tactics and give Manson what he deserves. America fails to take care of it’s own citizens. I never could understand how a person gets the death penalty and others do not. Some say lawyers and others say karma. The sad thing is that we have people that live in war zones and live under the constant fear of a death sentence being dealt. Quite possibly the “spin doctors” keep our minds on issues that I mention in order to keep our focus off the bigger picture that is the spawn of the rich will continue to thrive while the rest struggle for a piece of American Pie.

Nicole Paultre & China Arnold

Both women are polar opposites Nicole Paultre disserves to be angry and if she requested blood in retribution, it should be honored. She is the bride to be of the slain man Sean Bell. Her fiancée was gun down shortly after leaving a club. He was looking forward to marrying Ms. Paultry. Instead a lack of judgment and 50 shots later Sean was dead, the survivors were Joseph Guzman, 31, who was shot at least 11 times, and Trent Benefield, 23, who was hit three times and was listed in critical condition after this horrific incident. The PR campaign was quick to point out that five officers who fired their guns included two blacks, two whites and one Hispanic. Regardless of the outward racial makeup of those police officers is irrelevant because that uniform they wear governs their allegiance. One officer was a 12-year veteran and he fired his weapon 31 times, emptying two full magazines!!! Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives' Endowment Association said "The amount of shots fired does not spell out excessive to me" This insane the police officers are on administrative leave with pay (vacation not on the books) Not since the killing of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant who was shot 19 times in Bronx has the realization been clear. Those alleged days of officer friendly are gone. I do not care how they try to paint the picture it is sickening. Those cops should be flogged whipped with the same disregard they showed Sean Bell and his friends. They should feel pain for the pain they caused Ms. Paultre and Mr. Bell's family. They should be left to choke on their own blood for a while before repeating the proccess over again. Hell is what these officers that sworn to protect and serve should get. If you pray, ask for justice.

I had to show Ms. Arnolds face because what she did was horrific More than 15 months after her daughter's death, China Arnold faces the death penalty should she be convicted of aggravated murder. How did she kill her child? She placed the infant in the microwave. Yeah, you read right the microwave... I cannot even start the anguish I feel. If this true and she did do this I would not want the death penalty, the legal system should have someone beat her like a runaway slave for the rest of her life. Death is humane... How can someone, a mother do this to her child. I feel comfortable believing she done it considering it took a year to gather enough proof. Montgomery County Coroner's Office found that Paris Talley, 28 days old, could only have died inside a microwave oven. The father of the child Terrell Talley did not have a comment and I hope he has nothing to do with this. House is a fictional character and trying to find a smidget of evidence that refutes the coroner's finding is not going to happen. Anytime some born again starts going on about the "queers" ruining family values, punch the mother fucker in the mouth and tell them about China and the dirty cops that ruin those moral values they hold so dear.

Rumsfeld

Again the former Gestapo chief is back in the media with an alleged memo about the Iraq war. To be honest it does not take a rocket scientist to know that they (Rumsfeld and his former employer) did not care about their actions and going after Hussein is shy of a mafia hit. If Husseun is on death row for gassing people then Reagan’s former cabinet should be their as well, especially Rumsfeld since he gave Sadam the blue print for annihilation.
The Donald is not at fault for the things that happen everyone on the” hill" is. The citizens of America are guilty. People need to stop blaming the events of 9/11 for the war in Iraq. Until we as a country realize that we're the ones paying the bills, events like Iraq will continue and the Embargo against Cuba will continue.

WHY666

Yesterday I was asked why 666 and instructed that I may deter people from looking at my blog. I merely say fuck that. I am not catering to weak minded people. If someone has a problem I am a click away. I never had a target group in mind and possibly I may be witting in vain. So be it!!! I am not trying to make money and when my book is published the same rules apply.

If someone has a problem with my user name oh well. To answer the question at the beginning of the post the answer is simple, my name means "man of victory" and the infamous 666 does not need any explanation to the not so free Christian world. Do the math. Do not get it twisted I did not eat the body or drink the blood. Although I have thought about a snuff film with Condoleezza Rice but we'll see what is in the mix. Since the government has involved us in a legalized snuff film, i.e. Iraq and Hurricane Katrina, I believe we should have Condi star in her very own, along with the rest of the Bush administration.

Holocaust

I am tired of the debate over who had it worse the Jews, Blacks or American Indians. That is like trying to get apple juice from an orange. These incidents in human history are horrific. The all got the short end of the stick. One had their history stripped from them, another had their land stolen and almost removed from history at the same time and the other lost six million by modern technology.
I am tired of people painting the Jews as the ones that had it worse than anyone else in history. They rebounded quite well and have a rich history for a foundation to stand on. What happen to them was a great injustice but people seem to forget that Stalin was into exterminating the Jews. Since he was part of the allies that went up against the original Axis of Evil it got swept under the table.
I believe what happen to the three are a prime example of evil incarnate. No one should be debating over this, what should be discussed is how to prevent it from happening again. No matter how you paint the picture it is disgusting which brings me to the last picture below. I would like to beat him with that chain. To many people died for this fool to perpetuate ignorance. I hope we could by pass this ignorance and focus on our real enemy the ones on capital hill. I could not find any pictures showing the horrific events which happen to the Indigenous Nations of the Americas but if you would like to see who is one of the people responsible for their near extermination just look at the face on the $20 bill.

Spiritual Guide in Iraq

I recently received an email from a celestial family member that is station in Iraq. Enjoy and thank Bush and those pulling his string for sacrificing countless souls at the alter of the golden calf.



Hi,

Good to hear from you...it's been more than a little chaotic going
from Memphis to Chicago to Iraq in about 40 days...Here's a reflection I
wrote last week. Thanks for the note.
Sheri

Thanksgiving Day 2006, Al Taqaddam, Iraq.

In the midst of war I send greetings of deep peace and
gratitude...There is no other place on earth I would rather be right
now. I love Iraq. I love my job. I know I am exactly where I am supposed
to be. I still don't know "why". But it is what I have trained for the
last 15 years and what I have been led to my whole life. Everything,
everyone, and every place that has come before has played a part in
bringing me here: This time, this place, a divine appointment. I offer
thanks to you my family, friends, co-workers and thanks to our God for
the incredible journey. The tapestry is still being woven and each day
is but another thread added. I am humbled and wake daily with excitement
and gratitude at being given the opportunity to serve in the spirit and
the power of the living God...real time, real world, real stuff. Life
and death, hope and despair, peace and war, friend and foe...everything
is intensified here.
So what's it like here? Well...
It is:
Desert Sand Brown.
Dusty.
A never ending cycle of sameness where everyday blurs into the one just
past and the one to come.
Sometimes crazy and chaotic.
A place of paradox.
A place seemingly God-forsaken.
People wounded.
People dying.
Living in a 'tin can'.
Living near a flight line with airplanes and helicopters flying mostly
through the night.
Walking a long way to the bathrooms in the middle of a cold night.
Cranky, tired people.
A place where acrid smoke fills the afternoon air.
Living in a large caged area surrounded by lots of fences and wire.
Living under the threat of indirect fire.
Being on call, tied to a radio 24/7.
Day after day of seeing blood and guts, hearing the moans of the
wounded, sometimes seeing bodies burned beyond all recognition.
The smell of burned flesh and the smell of fresh blood mixed with dirt
and sweat and fear...

Yes it's all that...
But it is also something else here.
It is:
Waking every morning to beautiful cool, crisp, clear blue skies filled
with white puffy clouds.
Going to sleep under a canopy of the dark night sky filled with
countless stars.
Appreciating what life there is in this barren land...a few small brown
birds, ravens, and pigeons, ants and dragonflies, and the few green
plants that struggle through the cracks and crevasses.
Living in a private room equipped with real furniture, a real mattress
and a working heater/air conditioner.
3 awesome meals (4 if you count midrats) available with incredible
choice everyday.
2 gyms, 1 movie room, 1 game room, 2 internet/telephone cafes, a small
tea/coffee house, 1 mid-sized PX and several small shops.
Flush toilets and real showers.
Working with incredibly dedicated and professional coworkers.
Walking among people as they work and as they play: Being with them as
they laugh and as they cry.
Comforting the sick and wounded.
Praying over and honoring the life of a now lifeless body.
To stand in awe watching fellow Americans save the life of friend and
foe alike.
To proudly watch as young Marines render final respect by skillfully and
meticulously preparing flag draped body cases as our dead brothers and
sisters begin their final trek home.
To hold the hand of a young Marine in the midst of a seizure and pray
the rosary.
To hold the hand of a wounded Iraqi Army soldier and give thanks to
Allah for sparing his life in a blast.
To be jolted out of bed at 0400 by security to calm a Marine brandishing
a weapon and yelling to see a chaplain.
To encourage a young Marine in her new found Islamic faith.
To study with an Iraqi who wants to know more about Jesus.
To drum with the guys from the post office.
To belly dance with the corpsmen.
To sit around the fire ring with the guys from EOD (explosive ordnance
disposal) and listen to their stories.

To Live, if even just for the briefest of time, in an ancient land
rich with history: to walk in the same desert as did Abraham, Isaac and
Sarah; Abraham, Ishmael and Hagar. To be within a few hundred miles or
less of the ancient cities of Babylon and Ur, and the land of other
ancient civilizations, maybe even close to the site of Eden itself, the
beginnings of human history at the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates.

It is all this here and so much more...There is much to do here.
There is even more to simply sit with and meditate on. And In both doing
and contemplating there are so many things to be thankful for...
It is a place to celebrate the wonder and awe and mystery of life
and death, and the incredible manifestations and surprises of the
Spirit...everyday in small ways and big ways. It is a place to discover
and connect with and move in the flow of the Spirit and in gratitude
share that love with everyone everyday. It is a place to learn to be
present to the moment, neither looking back nor looking too far ahead.
It is to live the sacrament of the present moment. I am here at this
moment to be an instrument to bring hope in the midst of despair, peace
in the midst of war, love in the midst of hate, and life in the face of
death. I have been called, anointed and sent to this strange and crazy
place to co-create with the One who is above all, yet is in all. Pray
that I may stay strong in mind, body and spirit and that I may stay open
and receptive to daily hear and see and respond to the subtle movement
of Spirit in and around me for the good of those I serve.
And what was Thanksgiving Day like here? It was wonderful. The
weather was cool and damp. For the first time I saw several flocks of
migratory birds flying in formation at higher altitudes heading south. I
don't know what they were but it was beautiful to watch. My day began
with an interfaith service...in which I unexpectedly played keyboards
(our awesome keyboardist got sick and is now in Germany...). We gathered
as Christians, Jews, Native Americans, Agnostics and who knows what else
simply to reflect on our abundance and to give thanks to our God, to our
country, to one another.
Thankfully it was a very quiet day for all my units which meant no
serious wounds or deaths.
The Thanksgiving meal was an incredible feast...just like home with
even more variety and more of your closest friends...thousands...I've
never seen the chow hall so busy. It was festively decorated by the
Indians and Pakistanis who serve us. It was so much fun to share in
their gift to us...not only the meal they prepared and served with so
many heartfelt smiles but the extent of the decorations and the food
creatively shaped into turkeys and other thanksgiving themes. The spread
of pies was an endless table stretching across the back of the room. It
was fun to see the Indians and Pakistanis good naturedly dressed in
their holiday aprons and pilgrim hats standing in front of the statue of
liberty replica that adorns the chow hall serving Thanksgiving dinner...
Then it was off to attend/participate in a Baptismal service. Two
members of one of my units wanted to be baptized and so I was able to
hook them up with a service that was already planned for today. In
between times I did rounds at the "hospital", talked with a sick Marine
who wants me to write him the story of what happened to him (from my
perspective and what I saw) the night he was brought in and then I had a
couple of heart to heart talks with people about things that were
bothering them about work or about a buddy they lost in a blast a year
ago...
Looking for a break I was playing the keyboard and relaxing and the
Roman Catholic choir came in to practice for their evening mass and
decided I needed to accompany them...and so I quickly learned the music
and jumped in to do so for the special Thanksgiving Mass. It was then
dinner time and so went with the priest and the Southern Baptist
minister to share the nighttime meal...I now have a wonderful photo of
Thanksgiving 2006 of me and the priest in front of the huge turkey made
out of frosting and who knows what that sat in the middle of the chow
hall today. Then it was drumming and dancing with the Gospel choir who
was in the chapel for rehearsal. The Ugandans (the Ugandans provide base
security here) taught me some of their drum rhythms and dance
steps...and we ended with gathered prayer in their language.
Yes, this was a special day, Thanksgiving Day...but really it was
like so many here...filled with many small things that ultimately are
big things...each in its own way weaving the incredible tapestry. Here
each day is so much the same yet each day has its own uniqueness and
richness. Truly the Spirit of the Lord is in this place.
Well, it is nearly midnight and the calm is over...a radio page for
urgent surgical on wounded...and so it goes.
My heart is full and I am blessed. My prayer for you on this
Thanksgiving Day is that you too may know that same fullness and
blessing.

With love and gratitude (aka...Aloha from TQ),

Dirty Cops

NYPD did it again, detectives spent a few hours nursing drinks and mingling with the crowd before shooting three people that did not have any weapons. They were allowed to drink because they were undercover.
LAPD was caught on tape giving a slave beating to a man already subdued.
I remember Officer Friendly back when I was little, telling my class that the police is here to protect and serve. Lately I begin to wonder what demons he hid.
I guess until over zealous cops start floating in the river we’ll never get true justice. Until we demand a better way to identify the Gestapo we will never have justice.
I do not understand how they were able to pass the background check or a good psych eval. I am of the same ol bs given at every conference. Every time an incident happens a spokesperson says there are still some good cops. I can care less. Justice rather by blood or in court is the only answer and until we get that beware.

For every cop that has ever taken advantage of somebody,
beat 'em down or hurt 'em,
because they have long hair,
listen to the wrong kind of music,
wrong color,
whatever they thought was the reason to do it,
For every one of those fuckin' police,
I'd like to take a pig out here in this parkin' lot,
and shoot 'em in their muthafuckin' face.

GOD

GOD
I am life that radiates
From the crust of bread
While in darkness
I pluck you from the nether world
And lead you to the light of self
By grasping your hand I illuminate the
Path behind the door
And bring you to self realization
You have nothing to fear
Like the shepherd leading his flock
I am always standing vigil
Fear will never envelop you
Like the vine that leads you to the
Tree of life
Which is
Me your truth your God
And ultimately your reflection

BRATZ

In todays society I wonder what happen to its sanity. Our world was already nuts but promoting borderline kiddie porn.. I wonder why it seems that I am the only one disturb by the Bratz line of baby dolls.
Isaac Larian is the creator and to be honest I get those creepy priest vibes from his picture. What is going on parents, are you that numb to a baby wearing bikini briefs. I know that there are more important things in the universe but Bratz is a good example of parenting gone dumb.


I want to hack into his computer and see what his motivation is. Isaac Larian I know what you look like and if the powers to be deny me the opportunity of getting into your head then I hope someone will.

Which Religion is Right?

Being of a displaced race it is hard to to find a strong bond with any religion that can be tied to a specific culture or race. Since I am more of a mystic I find myself being label a heretic by my Christian brethren and a kafir (infidel) at times among the religion I losely affiliate with. The big three are not for everyone. In order to convey my point check out a few sayings below:

“To love all men is the greatest benevolence”-Confucianism
"LOVE one another" John 15:12
“Let a man cultivate towards the whole world a heart of LOVE” Buhddhism
“One can best worship the Lord through LOVE” Hinduism
“Those who act kindly in this world will have kindness.” Islam Qur'an 39.10
“Heaven arms with LOVE those it would not see destroyed” Taoism
“It matters not whether you do much or little, so long as your heart is directed to heaven” Judaism, Talmud Berakot 17a

Each religion of the world is right, the examples I used are a small portion of the vast beliefs that are out there. The ultimate religion is that of LOVE, we spend to much time on symbols and a fixed ideology which allows little deviation for independence. The perversion of spirituality is destroying the moral fabric of the world. Until we realize this and allow the misguided to bring what they believe a good end to the world (rapture) our world will never heal. Remember LOVE is the root to our ever expanding worldly tree.

Gay Marriage

They are ruining our family values. The Christian fabric is under attack by these heathens... I wonder if these people of good moral standing would be so quick to quote the King James if they knew he was "gay” Yep, he was and I find it odd that the man responsible for further twisting the words of Yeshua (while further purging the baptizer) and changing everyone’s outlook on the bible was gay. Oh there is some theories that say Saul aka Paul was gay as well. He was a Roman by citizenship and when in Rome...
I am tired of people bashing folks for the sake of numbing the pain of ignorance. Hispanics are the largest ethnic minorities, by stating this without using the word ethnic is equivalent to saying all Asians look a like.
The pied piper is among us, the war on terror is the money war fueled by the blood of the innocence. Election time should be a time to destabilize the two monopolizes that have a firm grip on Uncle Sam's throat. When ballots stop being erased will we have true democracy.
Back to the original topic, Gay marriage I say let them. This country is being fed to the wolves rather Tom and Bob want to get married is irrelevant. I challenge any one to set me straight. Look at Yeshuas words not the Old Testament that is not your book and not Paul because he is a closet case that never knew Yeshua.
Find the prophets true words and you’ll realize a man with a strong influence that understands the true temple is the body which houses the soul. Ritualize worshipping is not the true stairway to nirvana, it is the strong intimacy between that person & every sentient beings.

Shades of Grey

In today's society image is everything and with former struggling artist trying to keep street creed while making a million in Hollywood. Today people are constatnly pointing the finger at hip hop/rap. Even influential blacks in the community have jumped on the band wagon. The truth is that imitates life, if these so called leaders stop labeling multi platinum artist as a detriment we will be making progress. Even Oprah needs to open her eyes. If an artist goes triple platinum, it is not the black community that caused it. The music has taken the place of jazz, blues and rock as the black music corrupting the white youth. What is destroying the black community the black leaders aka the black leeches. There so many facets of hip hop but everyone seems to be blind. Every genre of music has its version of the minstrel show rather it is the loud rock music that wants you to bow to Satan or the racist red neck country singer. Music in general is the hope for future generation just like Close Encounters we can utilize music to find a common bound.
Unfortunately being human we have tendency of avoiding the truth and placing a bad aid on a gapping wound.
I enjoy the picture above and rather or not they are kissing is a matter of that persons interpretation. Mine, I have read that they do kiss each other on the lips, does not make them gay. If they are who cares they are respectively rich and they spent there time on getting paid and not what anyone thinks. The way it should be for anyone.
The world is no longer black and white, now we deal with shades of gray. Only doing your lessons shall we attain true spiritual royalty.
