BBC Radio 4 (9/20/05), Iraqi police sources in Basra told the BBC the "two British men were arrested after failing to stop at a checkpoint. There was an exchange of gunfire. The men were wearing traditional Arab clothing, and when the police eventually stopped them, they said they found explosives and weapons in their car…It's widely believed the two British servicemen were operating undercover."
Allegedly materials to produce explosives were found in their vehicle... What were to Brits doing in Arab country dressed like the locals with materials for explosives?? People can only blow themselves up for so long... Dissension is the key to gain control. Why is it Iraq not stabilized or better yet were was Rumsfield when Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti was being tried for the murders that took place in the eighties. Our information is fragmented and we need to take the time to read or it the game will be lost.

Obama WTF!!!
Apparently Obama quit his church of 20 years because of another incident... Man, that is crazy if you ask me because that was the center of his spiritual self for 20 years. He surrender to a higher power called politics. I question anyone that attend a church or interact with the pastors in question for twenty years and not know anything. I throw the penalty flag on that one. You were find with them before you ran and now you get offended.... Obama will win but his action in the Oval Office may not be roses. I question anyone that gives up there faith to please others. Oh if anyone like to say something, first take a look at your twenty dollar bill and tell Hitler hello. President Jackson was a big contributor to the near extermination of the indigenous people.
I cannot say much else because it sickens me to see someone compromise friendship to get ahead. I know by his speech that he felt that he must leave in order to preserve the sanity of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago . All I have to say is.. Do not compromise to much because will loose your soul..

Interesting Individual
Someone sent me this video and it was interesting. I agree that somethings need be done in the black community but I am not calling for an extermination of anyone. I agree that people are killing themselves with toady's dietary choices and various other gadgetry that individuals have been convinced they need. Codependency has become the new crux. WE as a people need to elevate our minds. If we do not the plantation will continue to govern. We're in the same boat.. Scare tactics keeps us at each others throats. Only a small band of people are governing the fate of this world and they are not going loosen that grip of control. Lets stop rocking the boat and work towards saving our children and ourselves....
Watch the video and you come to your own solution. For me "kill whitey" is not the solution.. They are lost as well, remember there are only a handful that set this atmospher for disaster and they want you to divert your energy were it is less affective...

Lady That Stole Florida
We all remember the lie of 2000 election and I guess some people do not know the face that should go with this debacle. I decided to do a post about lovely Ms. Harris and bring to our attention that snakes such as herself are looming in the garden always. We just have to pay close attention. It is also nice to know that any of her political ambitions was shut down in a hail of scandals or as I call it "karma". To further grasp what type of person she is check out what she said to the Florida Baptist Witness on August 24, 2006,
“We have to have the faithful in government and over time, that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers. And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren’t involved in helping godly men in getting elected then we’re going to have a nation of secular laws. That’s not what our founding fathers intended and that’s certainly isn’t what God intended. … we need to take back this country. … And if we don’t get involved as Christians then how could we possibly take this back? …If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you’re not electing Christians then in essence you are going to legislate sin. They can legislate sin. They can say that abortion is alright. They can vote to sustain gay marriage. And that will take western civilization, indeed other nations because people look to our country as one nation as under God and whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don’t know better, we are leading them astray and it’s wrong.”
Fanatics and religion are a deadly combination... The blood of those lost in Iraq is equally her fault.

Prophet El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz - Africa
Today kids look to Tupac as if he was a revolutionary... He was shot for being foolish and not for being some Black Messiah. The words of Prophet Martin Luther King and El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz have been swept under the carpet of Lazarus.. Put away the gadgets that have dumb the youth down and read to them.. Take away the balls and put a chess board in front of them. Make sure your kids reach a rung on the ladder you never reached and push them to go further. The other day I ran across a story about a Memphis High School that posted a dance at their school under the moniker "Rape Dat Ho". The kids were engage in something that can only be called procreation without thought. I do not place the blame on the kids, if they were never taught any civility then how can they learn. I blame the parents and the school administration.. When kids conduct themselves inappropriately then the faculty should step in.. Regardless if the Principle suspended any of the kids is a mute statement. They (the kids should of been stopped from the get go. After you read and watch the video of the incident at the Memphis High School, watch the Prophet El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz video below.

End Of The School Year
I have completed another school year as the proverbial step child (substitute teacher). The problem with education is that the system wants a test to gage a child. Unfortunately the teacher is limited to what he/she can do. What happens is regurgitation. Basically if a child has a good attention span they can ace any exit exam. The teacher basically teaches the exit exam. The reason why this exam is important to the teacher is because their job depends on it... If the results are not there then that teacher will not be there the next year. No field trips or anything that stimulates the grey matter.
The last days of school I showed "The Great Debaters" and sadly I had to put the fear of me in the in order to get them to watch the movie.. Oh I had one class that could not tell me were Fisk University is...The sad thing we live in Nashville.

Torn
Florida teen posted on YouTubes that she had been raped and no justice has truly been met. According to Orange County authorities charged a 23-year-old man Crystal accused of assaulting her with lewd or lascivious battery. According to court documents, Crystal and the man both said they had an ongoing sexual relationship. The reason for them not pursuing the case is because Crystal was a month shy of being 16 when it would be "legal to give consent". In other words because she is so close to the age were she could have sex with whomever she chooses the accusation of rape is irrelevant. Regardless if they had sex, the moment no is uttered then it becomes rape. The comments posted to her youtube post is appalling and not worth repeating. Watch the video and you judge for yourself...

N Word & Double Standards
Couple years back a teacher was severely reprimanded for using the infamous "N" word. Paul Dawson, told student Keysean Chavers to sit down.Shortly afterwards somewhere in the exchange Nigga/Nigger was used towards the student. The problem is that Keysean is saying Paul initiated the exchange and Paul's story points the finger at the student. Me personally I am siding with the teacher on this one and I do believe he (Paul Dawson) should have been suspended for not thinking. What I find offensive is that they have a perverse slant on this story. That word is used frequently among black students including "honor students" without thought. When I have asked these kids how would you feel if someone white referred to them in this manner they informed me that they get upset and would inflict some type of bodily harm on that person. Again I wonder what happen to the black youth when they degrade each other without knowing. It appears that the progress that was made in the sixties has mslowed to a snail's crawl today. Do not refer to Obama as proof we are moving forward a politician is just that. Besides we just have to see how much he loves black when he is in the Oval Office. Parents teach your kids is all I am truly trying to stress...

Reply To MLK Holiday Anonymous Response
I have not posted lately due to prior comitmits but I could not let this person slide by without responding. I Am Not for The MLK Holiday blog post I recieved the following comments:
if you were conserderd your feeling for the MLK Holiday, theyre wouldnt be any holidays you fool! maybe you should take an American Lit class and learn a few things b4 you try and comment on facts and issues you do not know...the holiday is a step to cast light upon the struggle of blacks not to undermine! if there was no holiday then that would undermine even more!----with your opinion "Good luck with life" my advice to you is to think more an a broad level! see several points of view then examine them all chose one and also compare b4 you go writing blogs and sites =)
This what I have to say to Annonymous:
First I am not the one needing "American Lit" and I am not sure what sort of knowledge I would get from a class about authors of North America (Canada excluded) Second, I spend most of my time with kids that compose there sentences in the same manner as you. I admit that that my grammar skills are not the greatest but I can formulate a good sentence which I believe an American lit class could help. I am not for the holiday because it becomes an excuse or a hollow statement for something much powerful. School is out and for what??? Blacks are coming up short in every category which I have posted in that particular post. Time and time again kids that I have ran across are lost and the holiday is not helping, matter of fact I hear more kids blaming whites for their problems when they should look in the mirror. Yes racism and other discriminatory factors are in place BUT there are ways around this. Instead of shutting down the schools hold a black study vigil in his honor. Lets not march, instead lets bum rush the school board show up in numbers. Lets do a hostile take over in our community shut down the crabs that keep pulling us down. I am a fool??? No, I beg to differ for it is you that remains the blind sheep being lead to the slaughter. The struggle of blacks you say well visit a resource class or some other form of higher special education and you will find black youths falsely imprison a statistic training facility. You will find young kids of Kemet being pumped full of kiddie cocaine and pedagogical poison. I am God incarnate as is everyone that chooses intellectual light is. I have read your post and the actual truth you prove me right in the fact that MLK day is in vain by responding in some cryptic unintelligible language. What sort of education did you have? If we want to honor MLK or any other individual that gave their life's blood to the enrichment of my people then it should be done through education which if you gander at the statistics our kids are not.
In closing Anonymous I hope you seek Knowledge to Cipher because you are in a pit of snakes and do not realize it...

Cult of Personality
Since the SNAFU with the polygamist group the word cult has been used to freely.
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary lists five different definitions of the word "cult."[11]
1. Formal religious veneration
2. A system of religious beliefs and ritual; also: its body of adherents;
3. A religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also: its body of adherents;
4. A system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator;
5. Great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book).
The Random House Unabridged Dictionary's eight definitions of "cult" are:
1. A particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies;
2. An instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers;
3. The object of such devotion;
4. A group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc;
5. Group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols;
6. A religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader;
7. The members of such a religion or sect;
8. Any system for treating human sickness that originated by a person usually claiming to have sole insight into the nature of disease, and that employs methods regarded as unorthodox or unscientific.
Webster's New World College Dictionary defines "cult" as:
1a. a system of religious worship or ritual
1b. a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremist views, practices or beliefs
2a. devoted attachment to, or extravagant admiration for, a person, principle or lifestyle, especially when regarded as a fad [the cult of nudism]
2b. the object of such attachment
3. a group of followers, sect
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary lists four different definitions of the word religion:
1 a: the state of a religious b (1): the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2): commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
2: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
3archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
4: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
Better yet lets talk about a religion that mentions giants that are biproducts of a sexual interlude between beings from the celestial beyound and humans.:Genesis 6:4 claims: "There were giants in the earth in those days;" or better yet there were people of enormous size that roam the earth that could have been from another form of existence that was not earthly: Deuteronomy 3:11 states that the bed of Og, king of Bashan, was 9 cubits by 4 cubits (approximately 14 ft long by 6 ft wide).
How about a crazed apocolyptic hermit that ate locust and honey. A talking snake that tricks a lady into eating some fruit which damns her and any other females to the pain of childbirth. Talking snake....
I am not trying to justify what that group of individuals did because I do not know of their practices first hand. When a person calls for help that is a red flag. When certain supporters try to make the connection with marrying practice of the past were 13 was not uncommon to get married is.... Nuts!!! Apples and oranges.... 400 kids again 400 children, were was social service.
Cults come in different shades Christianity, Islam and Juadism were at one time considered cults along with many mainstream religions some are welcomed while others are demonized such as Scientology. I do not condemn either of the ones mention because what works for one may not work for another.

Spelling Gone Awry
Spelling Bee were a kid had to spell negus. According to Webster the word is a title in Ge'ez, Tigrinya, Tigre and Amharic, used for a King and at times also a vassal ruler in pre-1974 Ethiopia and pre-1890 Eritrea. Grant it the word has a cool meaning but when you say it aloud well it just comes off wrong. I just want to know who was the one stuck on stupid that decided this word should be in the competition. Watch and enjoy....

Lost For Words
You can be the judge for yourself. I ran across this video that claims Queen Elizabeth is a descendant of Abraham (the Father of Nations). That there are parallels between Britain and Egyptian culture...
As I said earlier you can decide which side of the fence you stand on. I will go with someone doctored some paper work to hide the fact that certain people stole from Asar, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, or Ausare aka Osiris.

Marion Jones' Teammates Lose Medals
We all know about Ms. Jones and oddly I cannot get that song out of my head. Seriously thanks to her juicing her relay team from 2000 Sydney Games have to relinquish their medals as well. WOW!!! Is all I can say, it amazes me how people become blind to the repercussion that their actions may cause. Jones' teammates were Jearl-Miles Clark, Monique Hennagan, LaTasha Colander-Richardson and Andrea Anderson on the 1,600-meter team. Chryste Gaines, Torri Edwards, Nanceen Perry and Passion Richardson were on the 400-meter squad.
If one of her teammates pull a Luco Brazi I will not be surprise. With that in mind Marion get your passport...

real-life superhero
I have been made sick with all the craziness in the media. While browsing for some sanity I ran across what is term "real-life superhero". They are real people playing super hero while wearing some sort of costume that relates to their hero persona.... NO LIE!!!!! At first I was laughing hysterically and then it hit me after I read Super Hero Manifesto (http://www.supersquad.org/?page_id=16)... I was feeling better after reading about Capital City Super Hero Squad.
Oddly enough I agree with Captain Prospect when he said "Of course it was a harsh reality to grow up to discover there are no real superheroes or superteams. Perhaps it’s ridiculous that I held on to these childhood dreams of superheroes that were so obviously fantastic characters of fiction." Quite possibly in some Freudian manner my drive for becoming an educator stems from my child obsession with super heroes. Regardless of my own self absorbed psychoanalysis these guys made me feel good that there are some people out there doing some good.

Double Standard
Lately the press has done it's best to crucify Obama's pastor for the snippets of a sermon posted on You Tube. He was called a racist and a person that is not a true patriot. Jeremiah Wright served in the Marines and the Navy.
The real racist is Pat Buchanan.... In response to the Mr. Wright and Obama, Pat had tis to say "Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.
Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.
This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks - with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?"
If anyone did not pick up on this then what was slavery? It sounds as if my 600,000 ancestors came over here on a pleasure cruise. It was some add my folks responded to? You know learn about Christ and strip away your savagery.
Welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs is the salvation for my people a good gesture from white America.... Those programs were meant for people that are struggling. I have met plenty of people that benefited from these programs. I knew white guy that was getting the Pell grant, GI Bill and going to school for free because his dad is a disable vet. I wonder what Pat has to say in response. I have watched the news and nothing in response to Pat's comments. It is sad when double standards are so blatant and go unheard.

Obama's Pastor
You can judge a person by the company he keeps and after viewing the man he refer to as "Uncle" (Pastor) sermon. I am starting to warm up to Obama and he should not have to distance himself from Jeremiah Wright. That is some "bs"!!!! We have a corrupt system right now that obtain power through deceit and no one seems to care. There is New Orleans is still struggling and no one is saying anything. Everything Mr. Wright is saying is no different than what Cornel West has said for the past twenty years plus. I believe that there are some people that do not want to hear the truth about how black folk feel. 4th of July did not in it's original form include people of color and held women at a lower standard. New Orleans should have been the alarm clock.
Obama do not bow tell them to kiss your tail and keep rollin with Jeremiah.

Obama's Minister
I am still amazed at how little we as a people know about each other. Obama should not apologize for his pastor regardless of what he is saying. Matter of fact if Obama said kiss my butt I would have understood.
When the press started to fill the air waves with Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr., saying, "God damn America" and suggesting that the country bore some blame for the attacks of 9/11 they honestly do not understand the black community and why some of us do not laugh at conspiracy stories.
Slavery & Segregation merits the reason for our not trusting the government. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment and MK Ultra are not a figment of my imagination. People wonder why people believe AIDS is man made. 9/11 statement is no different than El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz saying ""Chickens coming home to roost never made me sad".
The political structure past and present has practice human rights violations that possibly was guiding light for Hitler. The treatment of the Indigenous nations and Africans are examples of the cruelty this government is capable of. Lets not forget the crack epidemic that was fueled by the federal government and currently heroin is getting some help with this alleged war. Why is the health care system twisted and a person that serves their county to the fullest has to struggle. Why are kids in rural and urban areas coming up short in education. This government has failed to many individuals and that is why people are on the verge of anarchy.

David Patterson
I am in awe of this man. He is legally blind and black but is able to reach the summits peak. What he is able to accomplish is a true inspiration.
-1977 BA in history from Columbia University
-1983 Law degree from Hofstra Law School
-1985 - Elected to the New York State Senate at age 31, becoming Albany's youngest Senator at the time.
-2003 - Becomes Minority Leader of the New York State Senate; the first non-white legislative leader in New York’s history.
-2004 - First legally blind person to address the Democratic National Convention.
-2007 - New York's first African American Lieutenant Governor.
-2008 - First legally blind person to take the Oath of Office as Governor and New York's first African American Governor.
Regardless of how he came into office the fact remains that he is a unique individual that has earned his spot in history.

Read is all I can say. There is a reason why Muslims and people that practice Judaism shy away from using images of anyone in their religion.

Next President
The person that gets the "House" regardless the party need to invest in our kids regardless of economic, racial, gender or whatever category you want label them. I am tired of going to schools and seeing chaos. I am tired of the tired speeches given by politicians that claim they care. The other day I notice a Amber alert flashing across the billboard and to my surprise no one on the news seem to care. A 19 year old sexually assaulted a girl on a school bus. What sort of madness is this.
Today in class I had to break up a fight and question why a child was singing a song about sucking on a girls toes... These kids are in the eighth grade...
If America wants to be great then lets help Kenya were Sexual Offenses Act two years ago, the 2007 police crime statistics show 165 children were defiled every month, which translates to six minors daily. A total of 1,984 children had their lives shattered by rapists.(http://allafrica.com/stories/200803100848.html)
Lets go to Memphis and shut it down. Lets hold everyone in the government responsible for Camden High (N.J.) juniors having a high failure rate in the state of New Jersey on the high school science test, a shocking 87.7 percent.
Effective crime prevention starts with early education. If a child cannot percieve a better life then they will fall into the system. America's downfall will not come from some bogyman with a turban. It will come from with in and unless we stand up and demand humanity from the three branches of the government.

Obama-Kennedy-King Connection????
Besides the obvious charisma that does not guarantee that Obama is the right Kennedy model.
JFK was young but he proved his leadership capability in WWII were he earned Purple Heart, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal and Navy and Marine Corps Medal. He commanded a PT boat which is equivalent to Apocalypse Now.
Most important Obama does not have a Bobby.
I am not trying to take him down because I want another Clinton run.
In reference to Dr. King well he was not entirely by himself Roy Wilkins, NAACP; Whitney Young, Jr., Urban League; A. Philip Randolph, Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; John Lewis, SNCC; and James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) were among the many people that galvanized the Civil Rights movement. Also Dr. King was from a different time and he was on another level. He received his college degree at 15, Martin was not an ordinary person. Dr. King was a prophet.
What has Obama accomplished on a global scale? He has no true experience or been tested in the manner Dr. King or JFK were. Then again other countries may open up in order to humiliate the Bush klan.
I do not hate Obama and to be honest those picture of him in traditional Somali attire does not phase me. There are pictures of various politicians in traditional attire of the country they visit. What does intrigue me is the distance that he(Obama) puts between himself and Farrakhan. I agree that Minister Farrakhan is a bit controversial but we can not forget the Million Man March. If you strip away the stuff that gets attention Minister Farrakhan you get a Conservative. Do for self, stay off welfare, stay marry and so on. I honestly believe that Obama is happy to receive Minister Farrakhan's endorsement. I am not upset because Bush's granddaddy did business with Hitler and no one seems to care. Or for that manner the blatant disregard for human life after Katrina. Obama will win but his presidency may not be what everyone expects.
For the record Semites are A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.

Ramblings Of A Monk
First I must say goodbye Fidel it has been fun.
A few things crept up since my last post and although I wanted a McCain sex tape to surface after his alleged affair was made public.
JFK secret documents revealed and conspiracies are flying and Obama does not put his hand over his heart when the during the National Anthem and something about him refusing to were a American lapel(C'est la vie).
People wonder why this country is crazy well just at the beacon of truth on top of the United States Capitol Building and you will notice Persephone the goddess of the underworld laughing.
The proverbial icing on the cake is for those ignorant racist that hate black folk soooooo much.
Thanks to DNA once again points to people originating from Africa and when I say we I mean in the Adam and Eve since. http://www.sciencemag.org
With that in mind National Geographics has let me down with their cover story he Nubians who ruled Egypt. I would accept it if they just said darker skin African conquered lighter skin Africans but it did not happen. They are African and if I hear another person wondering if Queen Tiye is black just look at her grandson King Tut... If your still in denial about light and dark skin blacks running Kemet then go to a rally with David Duke.
Election time who will I vote for? Well I am not rooting for Ron Brown's killer http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/CRASH/BROWN/brown.html
& my ballot is not for Hussein or GI Joe. I am far from putting another religious nut in the White House. With that said I am still combing through the independents.
Watch Sickoand you will stop being a loyalist to a specific team. This game we call life is serious and when it is all said and done there is no review of the play. Universal Health Care would be nice but I seriously doubt it can happen here in the states just because folks scare easily. Why do you thin this recession scare is working. When mass suicides happen on Wall Street then we know that we're screwed. Economic casualties will always happen no matter who is on the "hill" the key is to limit the casualties.
This house thing going on well if your loan is not fixed then I am sorry but you got hustled. Adjustable meaning capable of being changed so as to match or fit ie add that to a loan and your screwed....
The boogie man is no different than what you see in the mirror everyday. Our biggest threat is ourselves. No matter how much you want to blame someone the ball ultimately falls in your court. I know there are exceptions but they are few and far between. Before you point the finger reevaluate what your doing, write it down. You will notice that the only thing stopping you is fear. Fear is no different than death.

Substitute Teachers Do Not Matter
Recently I wrote a news reporter about the plight of the substitute teacher and I believe that after a series of exchanged emails I was blown off.
Me:
Currently I work as a substitute teacher and feel that people do not understand the horrible things we go through. Education is a key issue for the current mayor and in my opinion a story about substitute teachers will bring to light how important we are.
Response:
You’ll be happy to know, Education is one of Mayor Dean’s top priorities. In fact, he’s already met with a council he created specifically to address the high drop out rate in Metro Schools.
Is there anything specific that has happened to you that you’d like for us to report? Write me back if you’re willing to talk about it.
In the meantime, I’ll keep my eye out for a story involving substitute teachers. We tend to cover the “news of the day” here rather than just topical issues. But as soon as I see a way to work in a “substitute teacher” in one of the stories here, I will certainly suggest it to management here.
If you think or hear of anything that would help, please contact me.
God bless you for what you do.
Me:
I have notice that some schools have problem with getting a substitute teacher due to behavior of their students and staff. At some schools I question who is at the helm.
There have been times were the support of the staff was not there and quite honestly certain schools are no different than an insane asylum. I have had a child tell me that he got high on MLK day and a continuous list of kids that are statistics in training due to their environment. I have express this on my blog http://kalonji666.blogspot.com/ at times.
There are some schools that I have enjoyed such as H.G. Hill, the staff from top to bottom are very compassionate.
If the Mayor is serious about the drop out rate send substitutes as the eyes and ears because we are considered non threatening and at times a joke. In other words substitutes can get around under the radar.
McCann Alternative Learning Center and Murrell are two schools that I have worked at and believe they need more support because they are on the front of what is going wrong in the school system.The schools are not bad you just feel for the staff because they can only do so much. Again from the top on down I have only good things to say about the individuals that work there.
I believe that "a day in a sub's shoes" would be a interesting angle. I bet you can remember how horrible your peers treated subs when you were in school.
Thanks for the quick response
Response:
It would be hard to convince the management here to do a story without a “news of the day” hook. There are so many things happening in a city this size that daily happenings and events tend to take precedence over all other ideas.
Without a noon-day show with live interviews, feature stories, or extended network… those kinds of stories are hard to fit into a typical newscast.
I don’t necessarily want to discourage you. But I do want to tell you everything you need to do.
If you can think in terms of how a news manager might think. For example, the next time there is a particular incident, whether it’s GREAT or terrible, contact me as soon as you can. That’s one idea.
Also – are there other substitutes that feel the same way you do? There is certainly strength in numbers. And there’s even more strength in an organized group with an agenda.
Think on that a bit…

NIGGER
Unfortunately a disproportional amount of kids lake knowledge of self. With lack of knowledge people tend to have a low opinion of self which causes them to act in an unholy manner. I wish they could have the same experience as Brother Pryor.
“I was sitting by myself (in the Nairobi Hilton in Kenya) and I just looked around and it was like a voice said to me,”What do you see?” And I said,”People of all colors doing things together”.And another voice said “Do you see any niggers?” And I said,”No!”. And the voice said “Do you know why?”. And I said(whispering),”No”. And it said,”There aren’t any…”.
Brother Richard Pryor,l982 in an exclusive interview with Ebony Magazine,page l98

Black History Month Rants
I am watching the Sally Hemmings and I am angry.. Not at whites but if I see a red head they may have to run. Angry at black folks today. After seeing this show and the various images of both Black men & women being rapped and emasculated has pushed me nearly over the edge. The schools that I normally attend has been called off for the students safety. I am at a lost..... They honestly do not see the bigger picture and sit idly by in history while being slowly poison.
Here are some tid bits about the founding fathers....
JEFFERSON COMPARES WHITES AND BLACKS
"Are not the fine mixtures of red and white, the expressions of every passion by greater or less suffusions of color in the white race, preferable to that eternal monotony, which reigns in the countenances, that immovable veil of black that covers all the emotions of the other race? Add to these flowing hair, a more elegant symmetry of form, and their own judgment in favor of the whites, declared by the preference of them, as uniformly as is the preference of the Orangutan for the black women over those of his own species. The circumstance of superior beauty is thought worthy attention in the propagation of our horses, dogs and other domestic animals; why not in that of man? . . .
"They secrete less by the kidneys and more by the glands of the skin, which gives them a very strong and disagreeable odor. They seem to require less sleep. . . . They are more ardent after their female: but love seems with them to be more an eager desire, than a tender delicate mixture of sentiment and sensation. Their griefs are transient. In general their existence appears to participate more of sensation than reflection. To this must be ascribed their disposition to sleep when abstracted from their diversions, and unemployed in labor. An animal whose body is at rest, and who does not reflect, must be disposed to sleep of course. Comparing them by their faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me, that in memory they are equal to whites; in reason, much inferior, as I think one could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull, tasteless and anomalous. . . . The Indians will astonish you with strokes of the most sublime oratory; such as prove their reason and sentiment strong, and their imagination glowing and elevated. But never yet could I find that a black had uttered a thought above the level of plain narration. . . .
"In music, they are more generally gifted than the whites with accurate ears for tune and time. . . . I believe that disposition to theft with which they have been branded, must be ascribed to their situation, and not to any depravity of the moral sense. The man, in whose favor no laws of property exist, probably feels himself less bound to respect those made in favor of others. . . Notwithstanding these considerations which must weaken their respect for the laws of property, we find among them numerous instances of the most rigid integrity, and as many as among their better instructed masters, of benevolence, gratitude, and unshaken fidelity. The opinion that they are inferior in the faculties of reason and imagination must be hazarded with great diffidence. To justify a general conclusion, requires many observations . . . where our conclusion would degrade a whole race of men from the rank in the scale of beings which their Creator may perhaps have given them."--From Notes on Virginia, 1785
When Washington died in 1799, he had more than 300 slaves. In his will, he arranged for them to be freed after the death of his wife.
I have read many passages that try to justify his keeping the 300 and that his opinion changed toward slavery as he grew older and that is why set them free when he and his wife died...... Come on now!!! He did not have heir in the sense of son or daughter. Although convenatly some of his freed slaves were well taken care of...... HMMMMM????
Back to Sally and Tom:
The movie tried to romantacize their relationship but it is sick no matter how you flip it. Tom was on some other level stuff anyone can see that... Hell he is the one that resurrected the Library of Congress. That is why everything around him fell apart. He knew the truth about slavery and the Africans that were being held against their will. When you knowingly do wrong hell is what must be paid. This propoganda that is trying to romantacize Sal and Tom (his financial demise) is just that a fictious story. Rather Tom and Sally loved each other is pure speculation. They did have kids and the Jefferson clan because I would burn Monticello to the ground and tell those white decendants that were in denial to kiss my rear.

MK-ULTRA aka Mind Control
Black History month has always left me at the cross roads. It is good because it brings to light our rich and disturbing past. The downside is that it has become numbing of any true ideas. Unfortunately people are being controlled and not realizing it.
The political divide and the ignorance that ensues is sickening. Why Democrat or Republican? Both have hands that are bloody. Drugs, crime and war all intertwine.
Rather AIDS, crack, poor education, war and premature death they all are interwoven in the very Deoxyribonucleic acid of their soul.
Conception
In 1953 the CIA created a mind-control research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence, that began in the early 1950s and continued at least through the late 1960s named Mk-Ultra later known as MKSEARCH.
MKULTRA was started on the order of CIA director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953 whom appointed Dr. Sidney Gottlieb (Dr. Strangelove)as the director.(1)
Earlier projects included Project CHATTER (established 1947), Project BLUEBIRD and Project ARTICHOKE (both established 1951).(2)
The following is the purpose for such treatment(3):
a. Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public.
b. Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception.
c. Materials which will prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
d. Materials which will promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
e. Materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc.
f. Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness.
g. Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called "brain-washing".
h. Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use.
i. Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use.
j. Substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc.
k. Substances which will produce "pure" euphoria with no subsequent let-down.
m. Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced.
n. A material which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning.
o. Substances which will lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts.
p. Substances which promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects.
q. A knockout pill which can surreptitiously be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes, as an aerosol, etc., which will be safe to use, provide a maximum of amnesia, and be suitable for use by agent types on an ad hoc basis.
r. A material which can be surreptitiously administered by the above routes and which in very small amounts will make it impossible for a man to perform any physical activity whatsoever.
Side note: Frank Olson, a United States Army biochemist and biological weapons researcher, was given LSD without his knowledge or consent in 1953 as part of a CIA experiment, and mysteriously committed suicide a week later following a severe psychotic episode. A CIA doctor assigned to monitor Olson's recovery claimed to be asleep in another bed in a New York City hotel room when Olson jumped through the window to fall ten stories to his death.
Olson's son disputes this version of events, and maintains that his father was murdered due to his knowledge of the often-lethal interrogation techniques employed by the CIA in Europe, used on Cold War prisoners. Frank Olson's body was exhumed in 1994, and cranial injuries indicated Olson had been knocked unconscious before exiting the window.(4)
Kerberos
Project CHATTER (1947)
The project was geared to identifying agents both synthetic and natural that were effective during interrogation.(5)
Project BLUEBIRD (1951)
The experiments included but not limited to the creating new identities, inducing amnesia, inserting hypnotic access codes in subjects' minds, creating multiple personalities, and creating false memories. The research also included placing brain electrodes in people and controlling their behavior from remote transmitters, administering dosages of LSD-25 to children aged five , and using electro convulsive therapy to erase memories.(6)
Project ARTICHOKE
The project studied hypnosis, forced morphine addiction (and subsequent forced withdrawal), and the use of other chemicals, among other methods, to produce amnesia and other vulnerable states in subjects. (7)

In 1953 the CIA created a mind-control research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence, that began in the early 1950s and continued at least through the late 1960s named Mk-Ultra later known as MKSEARCH.
MKULTRA was started on the order of CIA director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953 whom appointed Dr. Sidney Gottlieb (Dr. Strangelove)as the director.(1)
Earlier projects included Project CHATTER (established 1947), Project BLUEBIRD and Project ARTICHOKE (both established 1951).(2)
The following is the purpose for such treatment(3):
a. Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public.
b. Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception.
c. Materials which will prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
d. Materials which will promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
e. Materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc.
f. Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness.
g. Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called "brain-washing".
h. Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use.
i. Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use.
j. Substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc.
k. Substances which will produce "pure" euphoria with no subsequent let-down.
m. Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced.
n. A material which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning.
o. Substances which will lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts.
p. Substances which promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects.
q. A knockout pill which can surreptitiously be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes, as an aerosol, etc., which will be safe to use, provide a maximum of amnesia, and be suitable for use by agent types on an ad hoc basis.
r. A material which can be surreptitiously administered by the above routes and which in very small amounts will make it impossible for a man to perform any physical activity whatsoever.
Side note: Frank Olson, a United States Army biochemist and biological weapons researcher, was given LSD without his knowledge or consent in 1953 as part of a CIA experiment, and mysteriously committed suicide a week later following a severe psychotic episode. A CIA doctor assigned to monitor Olson's recovery claimed to be asleep in another bed in a New York City hotel room when Olson jumped through the window to fall ten stories to his death.
Olson's son disputes this version of events, and maintains that his father was murdered due to his knowledge of the often-lethal interrogation techniques employed by the CIA in Europe, used on Cold War prisoners. Frank Olson's body was exhumed in 1994, and cranial injuries indicated Olson had been knocked unconscious before exiting the window.(4)

State Of The UNion
Last night Bush decided to point to the fact that Black and Hispanic children test scores is the highest in recent years do to the No Child Left Behind. This confirms that he is not clean and sober.
Department of Education data found that nationwide Black students were 2.9 times more likely than Whites to be identified as having mental retardation. They were 1.9 times more likely to be identified with an emotional disturbance and 1.3 times more likely to be identified with a specific learning disability.
Once you are under Title VI rule then test scores does not matter. The student gets a special Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) which means test scores does not matter.. They are given a free ride (moved forward) until the eleventh grade. After the eleventh they must take the Exit exam which by this time they are far behind. Although in TN if a child is under the special education umbrella they have a life line til the age of 21. Most severe the umbilical chord early.
The other day I was in a school and it was like a Timothy Leary nightmare. The school was never fitted for the 21st century and the curse words just echoed in the hallway... Suck my___!!! Yo momma is a ______!!!! He Nigga/er f_____ yo motha!!! and so on. Oh and this was middle school (5-8)... My class was no different, there is no campus security I could not throw the kids out. God knows what they may do. What got me is that I ran across kids that did not know what the Emancipation Proclamation is. They were on the Revolutionary War and could not tell me who Crispus Attucks was... Oh this is a eighth grade class. The teachers (most) were on the cusp of PTS disorder no life or hope in their eyes. Lunch time was even nuttier, there is no campus security just a cop collecting a check that is never around. Lunch plays out as such the teachers drop the kids off in this war torn eating facility and bolts leaving the janitor alone with forty plus rhythmic bursting (FRB) neurons... While another batch are lined up against the wall waiting to be picked up and before you know it a fight breaks out and I become the bad guy.... There is one kid that I remember from a another school and the odd thing is that he was a grade lower at the other school. This kid is 14/15 in the seventh grade at one school and this school moved him up to the eigth... The scary thing is my nephew in the first grade could beat him in a debate.. Good kid just rolled snake eyes on parents. I did have two classes that were normal and talked about kid things but I did have on kid tell me he aspires to be a strip club owner.. Then another child proceeded to tell about the strip clubs here in town and what they advertise... Eighth grad..... There were some shining stars, about 12 out of the 80 I had...
I have just one thing to say..."George put down the PIPE"

Mystics Take on Phillipians 2:1-11
The Passage
Philippians 2:1-11 (New International Version)
Vs 2:1 -4
In doubt do not distress or become conceited, remember that we (they) share a common bound in one faith. Contains He uses a twofold appeal to unity and humility. From this faith we (they) can find common ground amongst the congregation.
Vs 2:5-8
A member of the congregation should reflect that of Yeshua, who prayed the ultimate sacrifice for his faith, the very same faith that does not allow a person to have an air of arrogance or the belief that anyone in a particular congregation is better than another. Through serving every sentient being through faith could a person overcome the fear of death.
Vs. 2:9-11
Because of selfless sacrifice he was able to overcome through death and through this every member is able to exalt this deed along with everyone that has converted on bended knee.
Introduction
I am not a Christian and my attempt is not to debunk anyone’s faith. My interpretation may reflect a different outlook upon the interpretation of Phillipians 2:1-11.
The Christian church of Phillipi a Roman Colony on the EgnatianWay was established from the letters that Paul wrote a person could tell that his relationship had been warm and cordial church at Philippi had been warm and cordial. Although he had been imprisoned on his first visit there (Acts 16:11-40.)
Paul wrote the letters for different reason one being to show gratitude for their support while he was imprison. The other reason that he wrote the letters is to dispel any animosities that have a arisen in the church which in turn gave seed to a caste system. Verse 2:3 a hint could be felt when in the letter Paul stress “do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but humility consider others better than yourselves.”
From this verse alone a person could detect concern about the moral fabric of the church.
Overall the meaning of the Pauline letter is the act humility to follow Yeshua’s examples in humility.
Context
The city of Philippi was formally established in 356 B.C. by Philip II of Macedon
. Philippi was established as a Roman colony after a famous battle was fought there which involved Mark Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius. Philippi was governed by Roman law with its citizens having all the rights of property ownership and the right to civil lawsuits.
Everything about Philippi was modeled after its mother city, Rome.
The church at Philippi was established by the Apostle Paul on his second missionary
between A.D. 50. The story of the church’s origin is found in Acts
16. The first convert was a woman named Lydia “whose heart the Lord opened” (Acts 16:14). One of the more dramatic moments is when the Philippian jailer and his household were converted after Paul and Silas were thrown into jail after being beaten publicly. Acts 16:30 describes God miraculously opening the jail doors
and releasing the prisoners’ shackles, the jailer distraught was ready to take his own life. The jailer then asked, “What must I do to be saved?”
. To which Paul famously replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved and thy house” (Acts 16:31).
Interestingly, Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a different incarcerated
situation. There are three basic theories concerning where Paul was imprisoned at this time: Rome, Ephesus, or Caesarea. The traditional view regards Rome as the location from which Paul wrote to Philippi and this author believes the internal evidence is too strong to overturn this.
Content
The scripture is found in the Letter of Paul to the church in Philippi. Paul is so committed to values beyond himself that he can actually rejoice in his own dire circumstances because they have advanced the opportunity for the proclamation of Christ (1:1 2-14). It is significant to note that while Paul customarily establishes his authority as an apostle in writing to the churches (as in the first verses of Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians), in this Epistle he simply calls himself (along with his coworker, Timothy) "servant."
The theme of the letter is to encourage the church of Philippi in persistence (Phil 1:27-28a). In order to support this theme, Paul appeals to the examples of Yeshua humblimng himself to become crucified. Paul attempts to point out that Jesus’ examples of humility and self-sacrifice are fundamental to spiritual growth (Phil 2:1-18). Paul provides his own testimony of perseverance as a warning against being sidetracked and as encouragement for the church (Phil 3). Comments urging the Philippians to resolve divisions, to rejoice in all things and to think as well as do the things of God follow Paul’s testimony (Phil 4:1-9). Paul’s closing comments are a word of thanks for the financial support the church has provided him (Phil 4:10-20).
Philippians 2:1-11 differs from the rest of the letter in its poetic characteristics
Philippians 2:5-11 often refer to as the incarnation of Yeshua for Christians is often described in terms of the "kenosis" (usually translated "to empty")--a term that comes from the Greek word kenovw [KENOW] in Philippians 2:5-11.
Ralph Philip Martin, Brian J. Dodd :Westminster John Knox Press(1998)
Context
Phillipians interpretation as with every passage in the bible needs careful examination in order to develop a reasonable interpretation.
Paul is writing the letter to the Philippians congregation to give urgent advice to the about humility and instructing the followers of Christianity to follow Yeshua’s example in humility.
Exposition of Philippians 2:1-11
2:1
The verses consist of four clauses
each beginning with if you and if any
Each of these four clauses refer to the shared experience of the Philippians and Paul are introduced to promote unity among these Christians. The four “if” clauses, should not be interpreted as a mere possibility by Christian standards, but as an assumption of the truth. All four of the clauses found in verse one introduce the command found in verse two.
2:2
In verse two Paul’s conditional statement is given. It is a command based upon the assumed common experiences of verse one. The command is to emphasize unity by synonymous expressions. The way in which the
Philippians can give Paul’s joy is by having “the same mind,” “the same love,” being “one-souled,” and by being. The command is for unity.
2:3
In verse three Paul introduces an appeal to humility as the pathway to unity.
Paul urges the
Philippians to do “nothing according to selfishness nor according to conceit”
Instead they are to “in humility consider each other surpassing yourselves.” When everyone in the church values everyone else’s needs and desires above his or her own needs and desires, the end result is unity.
2:4
In verse four Paul clarifies what he means by his command to “look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” This verse contains no new command, merely a clarifying of the command of verse three.
2:5
In verse five Paul offers an illustration of the kind of humility to which he is exhorting
the Philippians by pointing them to the condescension of Yeshua. In the following verses Paul either composes or utilizes an already existent hymn to detail the humiliation of Christ.
2:6
In verse six Paul describes how Yeshua did not regard his position as a highly prized possession. This verse is used to indicate that he did not regard his equality with God.
2:7
In verse seven Paul describes the first of two actions of Yeshua in His humiliation. The first action is explained by the verb kenoo “made himself nothing.” The kenoo generally means “to empty.” Some scholars have argued that this term means that he gave up His divine nature.
The text goes on to explain that He was taking the position of being a servant therefore, “emptying” of Himself or His acceptance to martyrdom.
2:8
In verse eight Paul describes the second of two successive acts of Yeshua in His
humiliation. Here we see His final step downward. He “humbled himself”
to “death. But not just any death, the “death of a cross”.
2:9
In verse nine Paul describes the last step in Yeshua’s journey from glory to glory, His exaltation by the Almighty. The verse begins with “therefore” which ties together
verses 9-11 with verses 5-8. This simply means that Yeshua’s voluntary humiliation described in verses 6-8 is the basis for His high exaltation in verses 9-11. The word translated “exalted”
u`peru,ywsen means to “raise someone to the loftiest height”. The Great Architect
has given Yeshua to. o;noma to. u`pe.r pa/n o;noma “the name above every name.”

Wayne A. Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine: Zondervan(1994)
2:10
The Phillipians passage is not consider an echo of the Old Testament but a claim for Christians that Yeshua has return to a majestic divinity by stating
“every knee will bow”
2:11
In verse eleven Paul continues to explain the purpose of God in giving Christ “the
name above every name” (v. 9). Not only will “every knee bow,” but as noted above, “every
tongue will confess” “that Jesus Christ is Lord” o[ti ku,rioj VIhsou/j
Cristo.j. The verb evxomologh,shtai has the idea here of “frank, open confession” (Vincent,
Philippians 2:11).
It is an open acknowledgement for Christians by stating “Every tongue will one day confess openly that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”.
Summary and Application
The application of this passage is obvious in my opinion. Since
Philippians 2:1-11 is part of a larger hortatory section in which Paul is urging the Philippian believers towards unity by emulating t Yeshua’s humility. Paul’s desire is the same as any mystic: to see his followers walk in unity. The means to that unity is a humility that regards sentient beings as more valuable than ones self. Christian are urged to follow the example of Yeshua and in their (Christian) viewpoint held a valuable position in which he relinquished in order to become a martyr.
on the cross to purchase their salvation.
Regardless of an individuals stance on Yeshua’s position in the theological hemisphere no one cannot deny it took someone special to willingly embrace death in the most horrific manner.
Few would follow this direction therefore, I believe people can attain a divine connection with their belief through faith regardless what that maybe.
“Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.” Dalai Lama
Philippians 2:1-11 (New International Version)
Vs 2:1 -4
In doubt do not distress or become conceited, remember that we (they) share a common bound in one faith. Contains He uses a twofold appeal to unity and humility. From this faith we (they) can find common ground amongst the congregation.
Vs 2:5-8
A member of the congregation should reflect that of Yeshua, who prayed the ultimate sacrifice for his faith, the very same faith that does not allow a person to have an air of arrogance or the belief that anyone in a particular congregation is better than another. Through serving every sentient being through faith could a person overcome the fear of death.
Vs. 2:9-11
Because of selfless sacrifice he was able to overcome through death and through this every member is able to exalt this deed along with everyone that has converted on bended knee.

Comments urging the Philippians to resolve divisions, to rejoice in all things and to think as well as do the things of God follow Paul’s testimony (Phil 4:1-9). Paul’s closing comments are a word of thanks for the financial support the church has provided him (Phil 4:10-20).
Philippians 2:1-11 differs from the rest of the letter in its poetic characteristics
Philippians 2:5-11 often refer to as the incarnation of Yeshua for Christians is often described in terms of the "kenosis" (usually translated "to empty")--a term that comes from the Greek word kenovw [KENOW] in Philippians 2:5-11.
Ralph Philip Martin, Brian J. Dodd :Westminster John Knox Press(1998)
Context
Phillipians interpretation as with every passage in the bible needs careful examination in order to develop a reasonable interpretation.
Paul is writing the letter to the Philippians congregation to give urgent advice to the about humility and instructing the followers of Christianity to follow Yeshua’s example in humility.
Exposition of Philippians 2:1-11
2:1
The verses consist of four clauses
each beginning with if you and if any
Each of these four clauses refer to the shared experience of the Philippians and Paul are introduced to promote unity among these Christians. The four “if” clauses, should not be interpreted as a mere possibility by Christian standards, but as an assumption of the truth. All four of the clauses found in verse one introduce the command found in verse two.
2:2
In verse two Paul’s conditional statement is given. It is a command based upon the assumed common experiences of verse one. The command is to emphasize unity by synonymous expressions. The way in which the
Philippians can give Paul’s joy is by having “the same mind,” “the same love,” being “one-souled,” and by being. The command is for unity.
2:3
In verse three Paul introduces an appeal to humility as the pathway to unity.
Paul urges the
Philippians to do “nothing according to selfishness nor according to conceit”
Instead they are to “in humility consider each other surpassing yourselves.” When everyone in the church values everyone else’s needs and desires above his or her own needs and desires, the end result is unity.
2:4
In verse four Paul clarifies what he means by his command to “look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” This verse contains no new command, merely a clarifying of the command of verse three.
2:5
In verse five Paul offers an illustration of the kind of humility to which he is exhorting
the Philippians by pointing them to the condescension of Yeshua. In the following verses Paul either composes or utilizes an already existent hymn to detail the humiliation of Christ.
2:6
In verse six Paul describes how Yeshua did not regard his position as a highly prized possession. This verse is used to indicate that he did not regard his equality with God.
2:7
In verse seven Paul describes the first of two actions of Yeshua in His humiliation. The first action is explained by the verb kenoo “made himself nothing.” The kenoo generally means “to empty.” Some scholars have argued that this term means that he gave up His divine nature.
The text goes on to explain that He was taking the position of being a servant therefore, “emptying” of Himself or His acceptance to martyrdom.
2:8
In verse eight Paul describes the second of two successive acts of Yeshua in His
humiliation. Here we see His final step downward. He “humbled himself”
to “death. But not just any death, the “death of a cross”.
2:9
In verse nine Paul describes the last step in Yeshua’s journey from glory to glory, His exaltation by the Almighty. The verse begins with “therefore” which ties together
verses 9-11 with verses 5-8. This simply means that Yeshua’s voluntary humiliation described in verses 6-8 is the basis for His high exaltation in verses 9-11. The word translated “exalted”
u`peru,ywsen means to “raise someone to the loftiest height”. The Great Architect
has given Yeshua to. o;noma to. u`pe.r pa/n o;noma “the name above every name.”

Wayne A. Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine: Zondervan(1994)
2:10
The Phillipians passage is not consider an echo of the Old Testament but a claim for Christians that Yeshua has return to a majestic divinity by stating
“every knee will bow”
2:11
In verse eleven Paul continues to explain the purpose of God in giving Christ “the
name above every name” (v. 9). Not only will “every knee bow,” but as noted above, “every
tongue will confess” “that Jesus Christ is Lord” o[ti ku,rioj VIhsou/j
Cristo.j. The verb evxomologh,shtai has the idea here of “frank, open confession” (Vincent,
Philippians 2:11).
It is an open acknowledgement for Christians by stating “Every tongue will one day confess openly that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”.
Summary and Application
The application of this passage is obvious in my opinion. Since
Philippians 2:1-11 is part of a larger hortatory section in which Paul is urging the Philippian believers towards unity by emulating t Yeshua’s humility. Paul’s desire is the same as any mystic: to see his followers walk in unity. The means to that unity is a humility that regards sentient beings as more valuable than ones self. Christian are urged to follow the example of Yeshua and in their (Christian) viewpoint held a valuable position in which he relinquished in order to become a martyr.
on the cross to purchase their salvation.
Regardless of an individuals stance on Yeshua’s position in the theological hemisphere no one cannot deny it took someone special to willingly embrace death in the most horrific manner.
Few would follow this direction therefore, I believe people can attain a divine connection with their belief through faith regardless what that maybe.

MLK Day
Again we celebrate this Prophet of the Elohim most high in a masturbatory fashion. Why is it school is out and people march to relive the glory days?
• Percentage of all white K-12 public school students in the United States in 2004 who attended schools where more than one half of the entire student body participated in the federal free-lunch program for low-income families: 18.5%
• Percentage of all black K-12 public school students in the United States in 2004 who attended schools where more than one half of the entire student body participated in the federal free-lunch program for low-income families: 62.0% (U.S. Department of Education)
Why is it that they march when the percentage of all fifth-grade white children in 2004 who were enrolled in some type of special education class: 12.5%
compared to all of the fifth-grade black children in 2004 who were enrolled in some type of special education class: 11.9%(U.S. Department of Education). What makes this disturbing is that People of descent from the African holocaust makes up 13% of the population.
Black students were 2.9 times more likely than Whites to be identified as having mental retardation. They were 1.9 times more likely to be identified with an emotional disturbance and 1.3 times more likely to be identified with a specific learning disability.(Department of Education)
Why are they Marching when their children are being discarded in the wasteland of special education were the curriculum is water down.
Why is it they March and fail to support a positive movie The Great Debaters. When I saw it 90% of the audience was white. There were black folks there but it was to see the latest comedy.
Why is it they choose to march, sing those old negro spirituals and laugh while their future (kids) is fading.
Why is it they want to support wayward children when it benefits their perverted cause. When Sarah Kreager was beaten within an inch of her life by children of African heritage no one came in and chastise them(the children). Instead everyone remain silent. The parents blamed Sarah and tried to spin it into a Jena Six case.
Why is it they March and recite the poetic and moving speach I Have a Dream when they themselves refuse to get of the Ambien and realize the dream is dying..

Why is it schools are out when they have failed our children worse yet the parents has failed their children.
If the Prophet Martin Luther King were alive today he would be disgusted I believe Boondocks captured it best in the episode Return of the King, when Martin told his audience "As I look out across the crowd now at all these black people who sacrificed nothing for the cause of freedom, I see nothing but a bunch of lazy, shiftless, trifflin' niggas!"
Martin died for us to move foward..... Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Addie Mae Collins, aged 11 to 14—were killed when a bomb exploded at their church Sept. 15, 1963. Their blood help weave the flag of civil rights which the people of today decide to burn....
In conclusion:
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children. MLK

ANGER
The man above (Matthew Higa, 23) threw a child onto the freeway in Honolulu Hawaii from a pedestrian overpass on Thursday. The details of this crime is crazy and shortly after his arrest he told local KITV "thanks for everything".
Matthew has traffic warrants and an arrest warrant for fourth-degree theft and believe to be a possible driver in a three-car race that led to a fatal crash in August 2004.
Besides that nothing which could point to his monstrous behavior. I am not excusing it and you know I am not for the death penalty.. Just torture that mirrors Hellraiser. The bleeding hearts out their that believe he needs some counseling well imagine if that child was yours. Matthew lost his membership to the human species when he did this. This why I could not be a cop because Matt would have been sodomize with a stun gun and water.
I pray there is punishment in the afterlife because he deserves to burn.

Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is a week-long festival celebrated African-American heritage.It is observed from December 26 to January 1 each year. I am not a supporter for it because it seems like reaching for something. On the flip side it could counter the disease that has infected the community.
The holiday was created by activist Karenga in response to the lack of a holiday that centers on the African American community.
The motivation for this post is the ignorant people that have been writing negative comments about this holiday.
When I ran across words that state this is a racist holiday then I question what is the 4th of July. It did not include blacks and everyone wants to be a stereotypical drunk Irish one day out of the year with no complaints.
There are Christians that claim it goes against their values and it is blasphemy. Also some state that it is not a true African holiday. In response to this I suggest Christians look at the pictures on my page and think real hard. Oh and look up the religion about Mithra. About it not being a true African holiday.... Who declares a holiday legit? Certain family members birthdays I consider a holiday and I wonder if anyone will tell me I am wrong for celebrating them as such.
There is so much insanity in the community that if this help off set any of it I am glad.
If you look into a crack house you will find people looking for an escape and some are twitching and talking in tongues. No different from a traditional church just look at the folks that give their life savings to the man in the pulpit.
For those that celebrate this fine so be it and those that are against it in one of those ignorant ways that I mention get a life.
AS noted earlier I do not celebrate Kwanzaa because it does not speak to me but I respect those that do.

Wrestling
I like professional wrestling but it is a love hate sort of thing. I have recently discovered TNA wrestling and not much has changed. People of color are not put in championship gold but what really tics me off is how they are treating the new phenom of this style of entertainment is appalling. Kia Stevens aka Awesome Kong has been put in the role of primal creature and the nemesis of the celestial pearl Gail Kim. Kia is 5'10" 274 dark and Kim is 5'4" 124 needless to say we can see the angle of this story.
For me I dig Kia because I very seldom feel sad for a person. Kia to me is what is wrong with our folks in that we are quick to compromise ourselves for a dollar. I admit that it is hard for someone of her (Kia) stature to manoeuvre through the traditional avenue of employment due to the standards place on a persons appearance. I also respect Kim because she is not afraid to chip a nail and the fact she started out wrestling in a mask prove she did not initially start off in the business through "t&a". Back to Ms.Stevens I would like to here her speak and have her angle changed but that will never happen.
I will continue to watch this form of entertainment because it does give you a peak into the American psyche and besides I may see another Rock(I know of his racial background) or Tony Atlas whom gave me a little hope.

Big '08
Wow... I made it... 12 years off the endanger list according to Bureau of Justice Statistics which states:
" Black males 18-24 years old had the highest homicide victimization rates. Their rates were more than double the rates for black males age 25 and older and almost 4 times the rates for black males 14-17 years old."
What is my resolution this year, hmmm.. Ah yes the same as it has been since I came out of the cave and began to walk erect. Get what belongs to me, family is alright and keep admiring how sexy my Earth (not the planet you ill inform types) is....
Right now I have a block on the highway of information and will detour for now.

War Story
I survived 5 weeks in Dante's Divine Comedy aka long substitute teaching assignment. I came to the realization that I am a sadist.. It has been pure chaos with no order in site.
14 year old boys in the seventh grade should not be allowed. That is back door pedophilia, any way teaching reading to a bunch of wanna be gangsta niggers is annoying and sad.
The past five weeks I have taught very little because I am force to be a police officer first.
Kids that are on a fifth grade level or lower that could not tell me what is a bibliography or a content page. By the way I did not know a adverb names a person, place or thing.
I have spent the better half of my time planning on a way to get my hands on Bush because this no child left behind is some sort of drug induced plan. I believe we need to piss test the president because.... No Child Left Behind is insane!!
Having a 14 year old in the seventh grade that has no clue is a reoccurring event. Why pass the kid if he/she cannot function? Find a trade and transfer them over because normal academics is not working.
My black kids are lost, stuck on repping a street MY TAX DOLLARS cover for them to hang out on and do god knows what.
The black kids are bused in and they fail to understand the concept of networking. The poor whites are lost as well but they spend most of their time harshly criticizing themselves by stating " I am dumb" The ones with money are split both black and white... They either pretend to be "down" or they understand the dynamics and study....
What is the solution for education? Return to the hard knocks and start laying down the law. If a child acts up tell them take their butts home and not return without their parents and a back hand to those that jump in your face. May sound harsh but cold is what they will get on the streets if they fail to graduate. It is better to do it now than have my TAX dollars cover them later.

Black Teens Assaulted A White Woman
Baltimore a young white woman(Sarah Kreager) her boyfriend were assaulted by black teens (nine were arrested). The lady says she did not do anything and the teens report that Sarah was the instigator and drop the "N" word. The black and picture is all I can find and to be honest I do not believe I could look at the color one again.
It amazes me that kids are capable of doing something so vile. The kids beat this lady to the brink of expiring.
Not going to pass judgment.. Just waiting to see the plot unfold.
I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the march to take place because we need to save these kids from being tried unjustly. besides Jena Six set the pace. If those nine were white and the lady black I bet CNN would beat this story to death. Nah... The kids were the victims and broken facial bones, damaged eye muscles, and deep lacerations on her head, neck and back were Sarah's fault. Those kids are a product and no one is to blame.
We need to check our kids and ourselves because this garbage is going to continue and it would not surprise me if the next time this happens the victim will have a gun.....
Peace

Problem With Education
I have taken over a seventh grade English class and I the problem with education radiate like an A-Bomb.
I have set in meetings about a student that failed a grade BUT allowed to move on to the next grade because they had already been held back.
Another incident is that I had teachers and counselors tell me I have students that are on a seventh grade level. Unfortunately those reading on 3rd, 4th & 5th grade level have no interest in learning. They prefer to be manics, making my day equivalent of charging up San Juan Hill.
My problem is this... Why the hell do I have kids that are no where near the level of reading in my class. Why are these behavioral problems aloud to exist it is obvious that the traditional method is not working.
I asked about computers in the class room but once again I get this is metro. WTF!!!!!
People wonder why a disproportional amount of public educators put their kids in private schools. They know that the nuts are running the asylum. We are just sadist that enjoy the day to day routine of being whipped to near submission.
Yeah, march for Jena, scream at the top of your lungs that they were dealt an injustice blow. Ignore the true injustice of insufficient support for the public schools. We need to sign a Declaration of War.... That is what we are in and casualties are being churned daily in the extermination camps with no valid response.
