Information that A lot of People don't want you to Know

Flying Dutchman
Commented 3 months ago in Politics
“The public holds a lot of money, it is collective­ly shared money, but it is your money. That money can be used to empower you, your family and your community, empower you by funding decent education, empower you by funding organizati­ons that guard your rights as a citizen, empower you by making sure you're able to do some saving or own a home. Just like the collective money spend on cops or firefighte­r that is used to make sure your wellbeing is guarded. Remember those ambitious programs in the 50'ies that wanted every American family to own a home. Every American family would own some capital, people didn't became millionair­es by it, but they were able to live comfortabl­e lives. Collective money well spend can improve your life standard, collective money can create the opportunit­y to gain a better life.
Americans should protect that opportunit­y.

Today the US is under siege, under siege by robbers and thieves. People, who don't care about you and your community, are trying to lay their hands on your money. They had a skeem to steal your house, they had a skeem to lute the treasury and now they have a skeem to take that what is left. And when they are done they took out two birds with one stone; (1) they got even more money, planes, yachts, cars, jewelry, designer clothes and mansions, (2) you wont be able to do anything about it or get your money back, because you just got unpowered!”

Hey, Alex Jones is planning to allow one of his guests to discuss the Council for National Policy, which he has spent the past years shilling for. I wonder whether he'll give defense, or if he'll realize he's been duped. Can't wait to find out!

You must understand, all money is created as an interest bearing debt. In order to have money, and not contract as we are currently, which is why we have depression today, we must perpetually increase the debt.

Not raising the debt ceiling will put the U.S into default. This means really bad things for the average American, and helps the enemy move their agenda forwards. The reactionary republicans are not allies in this war. Don't forget it!

The better solution is to end the debt-money system and begin a wealth-money system. However, since law makers are morons, if they're going to continue this debt-system, we don't want default!

The republican austerity program of cutting and gutting is about protecting the crooks on Wallstreet and the bankers. We must lose the social programs we've paid into so these crooks can keep their loot. They've had their cheer leaders, such as Beck, and this includes the Austrian fascists, which is why the media has been promoting Ron Paul, helping condition the people into accepting their own destruction. This is the reality.

No one wants to hear what I say regarding this Mont Pelerin Society run Austrian school, but sooner or later people will realize I'm right. The Austrian school is one of many acceptable solutions to the reaction being created by the enemy currently.

Your not the only one ignoring facts. Most people do, and I myself have done it before too. It's not about me being better than anyone else. I simply want you to see the truth here.

Gold and Silver are demonetized. The price per ounce is determined by supply and demand. That's completely different from Gold and Silver as a currency. Your completely messed up in your thinking here. If Gold and Silver were monetized today its value would be determined by law. The many Coinage Acts in U.S history prove this. The commodity price has nothing to do with Gold and Silver as currency.

The dollar is losing purchasing power for many reasons. The most important thing to consider here, is the reality we owe more in interest on this debt-money system, than we can actually pay.

This debt-money system is the insanity. Wealth money is the only sane solution! Neither the Democrats, Republicans, or Austrians understand this. We're surrounded by insanity. Surrounded by a bunch of people chasing fantasies.

No, over the centuries does not matter. The population has swelled. All you have to do is the math.

Yes, you can inflate gold just as easily. The value of gold is set by LAW.

Wars can be financed by many means. Direct taxation is a proven method.

Socialism is government owning the means of production.

Deflation is worse than inflation. Deflation is the prime cause of depression.

The government can steal from the people just as easily under Gold and Silver, and can even confiscate the Gold and Silver. Again, the bankers made their wealth using the Gold and Silver standard.

Your still ignoring facts.

Pardon me, but do you understand

#1 Lincoln prevented Britain's Prime Minister Lord Palmerston from completely disintigrating the United States.

#2 Lincoln was ASSASSINATED after doing this.

#3 Lincoln's successor reversed his policies and was impeached.

#4 The fact that there is STILL an Empire only supports my argument that the Austrian school's "All regulation is tyrrany" Propaganda is indeed that, propaganda. My whole point in regards to regulation was that history has taught us that sociopaths will always be around - all we can do is prevent them from looting and pillaging our nation. Of course, Lincoln did destroy Lord Palmerston's plans for wrecking the United States with his Greenback system, railway and alliance with the Czar of Russia - why is there still Empire?.... Why is the sky blue?

It's just an absurd question. You think Lincoln can come back from the Grave and fight the British off again ? lol

Of course i obviously agree, there has to be a form of saftey net for the very situation we are currently witnessing ( An incalculable Depresssion that will result in starvation and death if not addressed ). I would agree , it has to be reformed to prevent the massive abuse (Like illegal aliens not paying for it and getting the benefits anyway) , but to call medicaid/medicare "Socialism" is by definition a falsehood and is a big problem because calling a social net, "Socalism" or "Marxism" in this case narrows everyones views to the Preditory Capitalist System VS. the "Socialist" system when infact, you can of course have none of the above if you broaden your perspectives. I see the labeling of all Government activities as "Marxist Socialism" , which the mises website does in nearly all of their articles as a deadly threat to humanity.... which is why i attempt to highlight that "Marxist Socialism" is when the Government Seizes the Means of Production - not when the Government constitutionally provides for the General Welfare of the public. I know you understand this, so do not think i am attacking you here, i am merely highlighting it because i think it's very important.


In regards to both systems being the same, i'd certainly have to disagree with you there.... due to the fact that a fixed exchange rate system would allow the new currency to be pegged to current price levels to avoid the very deflation that an actual domestic gold coin barter standard would result in. That is the major issue here, an International Gold Standard can be pegged to current price levels, but a Domestic Gold Coin standard obviously cannot due to the impossibility of obtaining enough Gold to peg to current price levels..... In addition, a Domestic Gold Coin standard is the use of a commodity as Currency , which i've highlighted as not a "Storage Unit of Wealth" - but a means of exchange valued by a Nations net productive output per capita. So what you have here is using a volatile piece of metal (in the case of Gold) being used as a currency. This means gold mining drives currency levels as opposed to economic expansion - i believe doing this is a grave mistake and a also addressed this in my original post, as Mining for Gold really bears to resemblence to an actual economies expansion rate at all, while Infrastructure infact directly represents an economies expansion rate.

In regards to competeing currency (Specifically for private obligations) i'd also have to disagree , the reality of the situation is that this has indeed been attempted by none other than Andrew Jackson, and the result wiped out the perceived "Weaker" currency, and many families savings were wiped out along with it just because they held state issued notes and not gold convertable notes (Which later imploded the economy anyway)..... so i would also disagree that a competeing currency would help becuase the weaker currency would inevitably be dumped and wiped out. If there were a way to introduce competeing currency without this threat - i perhaps would not be opposed to it, but to my knowledge i simply cannot think of a way for a competeing currency to provide for the General Welfare Clause in any way shape or form.

You forgot the post the title of the article you just posted, here i'll do it for you:

Excess Debt And
Deflation = Depression


^ I have been attempting to explain this throughout the entire thread!

You also forgot to mention that Andrew Jackson's Gold based currency disintigrated the " Competeing " State issued currency, which needlessly bankrupted all people who held state issued notes ( I guess they were just too stupid and they deserve to have their currency destroyed right?)

One more thing you forgot to mention is during the 19th Century the British Empire held a monopoly on Gold Reserves (and they still do till this day) and at a whim could expand or contract (MANIPULATE) the monetary supply. I would consider that worse then the so called "Speculation" Of the Second National Bank of the United States of which the Government had 100% Control over the printing presses via Congressional Vote and Treasury issuence of credit for that bank to even be able to print currency in the first place.

lastly, that Depression was the worst Depression ever up until that point in U.S. history, and infact - the economy never really recovered (Particularly in the South) which paved the way to the Civil War due to further reliance on Slave Labor to produce raw materials for the plantation owners to capitalize off of (By the way, Andrew Jackson owned Slave Plantation!, isn't that ironic.... he was a Southern Democrat too.)

On really? Is that why Adolph Hitler and Mussolini and Franco CRUSHED unions? Because unions were enemies of democrcy? I didn't know that Hitler and Franco were such fine democratic leaders. But i can see an affinity between them and America's contemporary Right wihin the Republican Party.
And did the Stalinist regime in eastern Europe suppress unions in order to save democracy? That must have come as a surprise to Solidarity
.
And how do we account for the fact that most democracies acknowledge unions--some European democracies even allowing them a role as partners in government.
No. History confirms my claim. If you're an enemy of unions, and enemy of collecive bargaining, then you're abn enemy of democracy.
Scott Walker is a fascist, no matter what he claims to be or what reasons he gives for the suppression of unions.
I've one reply: DEATH to fascism. Prison or exile for the fascists. Every politician who suppresses the rights of the American working people to organize and defend their rights as working people are enemies of the American people and of democracy.
Such politicians should AT LEAST be recalled. Perhaps sent to prison or into exile

And where does it say it can take the working man's money to pay the delinquent's rent? That may be a moral obligation to you but it is not the government's role, never has been here. Maybe in Russia, Cuba, or Obama's vision. But the founders theme in writing the constitution was limiting the reach of the federal government. There should be no dept. of education, where do you see that? We're so used to these things we believe they are law. And they aren't. You want to help your fellow man? Great, give to him. Join a church or other private charity. But in this country the government does not have that authority anymore than it has the authority to send planes to bomb Libya.
I don't see anywhere in the Constitution that supports neo-liberalism or Austrian Economics. Do you? Also, using taxes to help society is found in the Constitution. I've mentioned this to you before. The Preamble and the Taxing and Spending clause of the Constitution allows the promotion of the general welfare of society. The general welfare involves many things. Justice Story concluded that the General Welfare Clause is not an independent grant of power, but a qualification on the taxing power which included within it a power to spend tax revenues on matters of general interest to the federal government. In other words, the general welfare clause can include the federal government using money to help society built itself up. It's always a moral obligation to help another human being. You think it's solely a private matter, which is your right. I think it's both a public and private matter since the Constitution deals with helping people to promote unalienable rights and promote a better society in general. That's found in the Bill of Rights & throughout the Constitution.

Many Founding Fathers wanted a limited federal government. The federal government should be limited since a tyrannical federal government is obviously wrong. Yet, the Founding Fathers also wanted provisions in it to make new laws when necessary to promote a more perfect union. This is the major omission that you embrace. We have the perfect right to legally make more laws to help society. We have done this to promote rights for minorities, women, and for other issues in society. If there is no Department of Education, millions of kids would be in the streets lacking a chance at the American dream. We live in the 21st century within a framework of a complex society. 19th century thinking or embracing some archaic system isn't going to work here. We need structure and the Department of Education should be reformed (not to end grants to help the poor, but make education more stronger. Also, Congress making a law creating the Department of Eduation is legal).

I already proved to you that post offices,the promotion of science federally, national roads, taxes, and other things are found in the Constitution. I believe in churches and private charities doing the right thing. Yet, even these organizations are limited in their reach. You also conviently omit about how some corporations pay zero taxes, there is a record income disaparity among the rich and poor, and most Americans want a slight tax on the super rich (as one out of many solutions) to solve our financial complications. The government has no authority to fight militarily in Libya. You are right on that. Yet, Congress passing laws to help human beings altruistically is moral, legal, and just. Although, it is true that the Constitution isn't God nor perfect. It has changed all of the time to reflect the changing or evolving times of American society whether from a social, economic, religious, ethnic, gender, or many other standpoints. That is why we should create (especially here and for now on) our own independent Power base to help ourselves and our own people. A person is a disgrace if he or she refuses to help out their own people. They can criticize you all they want. It's better to be criticized and do the right thing than a person being praised by the world (and that person is a sellout). So, we know what's right and we know what we have to do.

I have the greatest admiration for Martin Luther King. He showed great courage in his stand on non-violence at a time when most people were carousing the neighborhoods looking for something to get into. This was the direction of my family's gravitation,(I was just a kid at the time).

But since I became an adult and studied all the aspects of the Civil Rights Movement, I am very biased towards Malcolm's stance of "by any means necessary".

You need to do your research. West Africans were not "fairly passive" in regard to slavery... they led numerous slave revolts throughout the Americas, including Haiti where they defeated Napoleon's French and regiments from Spain and England. Even in Africa tribes like the Ashanti were known for their fearlessness and war prowess and they fought four wars with the Britian.


I think that the Gullah were Igbos. You will find that the Igbos were also among the Haitian Revolutionaries. Nat Turner was an Igbo as well! Much of the slaves in Virginia were Igbos. They even called Virginia, "Igbo land" because of their heavy presence there!.


I tell my brothers and sisters all the time the reason why you feel like there is a glass ceiling above you is because your working in a next mans house... Get free or die trying my people!

Yes, we need to built new systems governing our schools. However, do you honestly think we could use tax dollars to build schools just for our ethnicity? I humbly think a more realistic strategy is to run for boards of education. If we have a majority block, we could implement changes tomorrow - legally. Lastly, our businesses must understand our history. Therefore, if they are to survive, they have to see the value of reinvesting back into the community. They have to see the value of uplifting others while taking less profits.
Your post recognizing the truth - "watching [African in America children] lose all cultural identity is sad it makes them unhappy because its not natural." As a result, their behaviors is a natural rebellion; just it is negative because few are directing our children in a positive direction. That is why I always post it is not the children's fault - today's reality in many of our communities; it is the older ones, parents and concerned brothers and sisters, who are failing. I do not know all the answers. Your post is a solution. I just think for it to be ideal - it must incorporate both genders. Great post and remember females tend to be the ones who start true change.

I'm sorry but integration have 'watered' down all power movements that Blacks once stood up for.

1. We internationally mixed and thought that would solve the 400+ problem of slavery and disenfranchised people.

2. We even thought that if we played their corporate game via affirmative action and moved from the inner city to the subs, that we would be better off.

3. We as a people have left behind what was important but latched on to video games, escapism, super hero movies, fashion, politics, dog-eat-dog attitudes, sell outs, & false religion.

We are not separate but equal. We are not integrated and equal. Hell, we aren't even equal here in the West so when this society goes downhill (and it will), now would be a good time to free the mind and seek equality elsewhere. One love.

A mountain of ignorance - you truly are that n!!!! Banks were not forced to give out loans. Banking lobbyist pushed for the chances so it could benefit the banks - immediate profits with guarantee governmental assistance. Banks lost nothing but market value which rebounded after governmental assistance - welfare. Their loans were guarantee by the federal government so banks took no risk. Lastly, a mountain of ignorance - Caucasian Americans (were you calling your own ethnicity monkeys?) accounted for the bulk of the funds. Then your statistics are laughable - do you believe your nonsense? More so, what is capitalism? Is America a capitalist nation? A mountain of ignorance - ask a librarian, an economic professor or two other fairly educated persons before you answer those questions. You are one of the most ignorant persons on TOPIX.

I think your view is too pessimistic. There was a desired end state to integration...a black strategy. This was to provide the opportunity for blacks to PURSUE equality. Maybe we haven't achieved it yet, but I think we're on the right trajectory. There's good leadership in the black community and enough self examination, dissent and debate. However, we should never forget that we are a much smaller, much financially disadvantaged, much maligned and persecuted minority, so our battle will always be an uphill one. When we criticize ourselves we need to maintain a sense of perspective just to keep things honest.

Honestly black mothers are leaning more in the direction that youve mentioned. To isolate black children ESPECIALLY the ones with a high capacity for problem solving and comprehension. We have a great many "accomplished" bw who are more than willing to put in the work. I mentioned this before on this board saying black mothers needed gated communitites. The ones who are in good financial situations and ones who are self employed are preferred. Lots of bw are moving toward self employment.

No, Hitler emulated people like YOU. Europeans who resembled progressive whites who opposed slavery and racial caste belonged to the anti-Fascist resistance. THOSE whites who resembled their American kin were fighting Franco, Hitler and other reactionaries and racists. And those whites were commonly murdered by Nazis in Europe, just as people like Viola Liuzzo, Schwerner, Goodman and others were murdered by American equivalents of Third Reich barbarians. Those progressive Europeans were also regarded as race traitors, commies, bleeding heart liberals and "k__ lovers"....Pr etty much the same way decent and progressive whites in America are also regarded...except here they'd be regarded as "n___" lovers. So, in a sense OhFrilly is correct, though not in the way he imagines......As a racist mass enslaver and mass murderer, Hitler certainly did not emulate those American whites who fought slavery and racial caste. In fact, Hitler ADMIRED American racism....and SAID so. The Wendell Phillpis and John Browns of Europe were on the other side of the barracades. Hitler resembled people such as OhReally would probably vote for; and his murderous movement was made up of followers with the same mentality as OhReally, Pit of Sorrows, and various other scurvy white racists whom one finds in Topix.

Actually, this is the first honest statement I have read from an IRBW.
I feel because of the turbulent history between Black women and White men. If a Black woman admits that she is attracted to the "power" of white men. She is automatically labeled a sellout.
So it is easier to jump in on the Black men bashing. Make is seem as if a Black man and a White man was equal. She would have definitively chosen the Black man. But since "all black men are failures". She has no choice but to worship a White man. But that is just not the case. Good Black man or not. These women were always going to choose a White guy. But these women would never admit it.
I also believe that MANY black women believe that White women are where they are at. Solely on the power of White men. So if they start dating White men. That somehow miraculously. He is going to make Black women on the "top".

The argument that lowering taxes creates jobs has been proven false! It is right
in your face how it is not true! Because if that is the case for the past 8 years
when Bush lowered tax rates and Obama continued those rates, our economy should be
booming! Businesses should be creating jobs left and right! But, are they? No?!
Well, why aren't they?? The taxes have been low, and what? You say they are not
low enough, whatever! Stop the lies and false propaganda! Read some FACTS and face
reality. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.









Far too many business are overseas underhandedly dodging the American tax system,
yet have their hand out for government subsidies. I would like to see any business
who goes overseas taxed higher and not be able to receive any government subsidies
or tax breaks. Government should require accountability from everyone, the wealthy
corporate elite who receive tax breaks and subsidies and the poor who receive
government benefits.

@NJROLLER02 So, the Bush tax were not enough? The continued tax cuts by Obama are
not enough? Well it seems that taxes will NEVER be low enough to satisfy the
repubs. Repubs, and their corporate masters, have no desire to create jobs in the
US. They just want to make as much profit as possible and contribute the least
amount they can to the American economy. Repubs and the corporations calling for
lower taxes hate America, and only wish to exploit American workers like they do
overseas!

No disrespect to Mr. Ballantine, but instead of stating an opinion about what
the repubs can do to win, how about he talk about the voter I.D. requirements
repubs are trying to put in place across the country? Mr. Ballantine says repubs
need to go into the minority communities but these are the communities where
they are trying to make it harder for people to vote.

If you look at repub policy and not their rhetoric they are clearly about
protecting the wealthy business elite of the country. Now people seem to want to
sugar coat this and claim dems are no better and try to convince people to vote
against their own middle-class and low-income interests. The Tea Party has successfully accomplished this with low-income whites. I guess now, it is time
for black scholars to work on low-income minorities.

Kashta_Bureh:
I see what you're saying. Yet, not every single mother is monolithic of course. It's a fact that many men are predators and use women to have sex and have children out of wedlock. In some of those instances, I have sympathy for the woman. I guess I'm such a non-cynic when it comes to females. I'm a cynic when it comes to politics and other issues though. Many single mothers have businesses, some are in college, and others have jobs. So, not all single mothers lack vision or contributions in society. I've changed my mind on one thing. I would date a sister with kids if there was a sincere connection (and if I had the resources to take care of people), because our community is suffering on many fronts. We live in a cross roads in world history. The issues of technology, class, wealth, sex, race, sexuality are complex and are discussed in a fashion never witnessed in human history. We have to make a choice or a crucial decision. Either we promote black unity or humanity will suffer tons of hardache. I choose black unity. People have the right to do it if they want to. If they want do it, they should never rush into the relationship and they should prepare financially and emotionally for the situation of course.

We all have done dirt, so in that sense, there is no such thing as a perfectly "good Black men." There are either real men or folks who don't act like Men (like thugs, cheaters, criminals, women haters, haters in generals, etc.). There are still honorable black men and black women in the USA and throughout the world though. As for the women who dog men out, etc. I don't agree with them. No one should be mistreated or disresepected at any circumstance whether they be male or female. Yet, in my experience, we should allow these women the chance to change their ways. Sometimes, a man (I know this is hard sometimes) will have to cut the women some slack and help the woman to improve morally and spiritually. The reason is that women go through more drama and demonization in society than us males go through.

We go through drama, but women (especially black women) go through more (like sexism, sexual exploitation, abuse, materialism, etc.). I do feel that there are tons of women that value men based on character not totally on physically appearance. It's just that the media promotes that stereotype and lie of black women collectively only wanting to go out with thugs or dudes with "swagger" so often that some men give up (and either date outside of their race or be desperate to date any woman). A real man should never give up in life. A real woman just wants a man that takes care of his business period. Yet, we shouldn't give up on our sisters here. We should encourage ourselves and the sisters to be better. I don't agree with brothers being disrespected either for any reason. Yet, if you are man (whether you're on the Youtube or not. You notice that these cowardly men use slurs against females then expect us real brothers to support them. They have another thing coming because I don't agree with calling women slurs or evil names at all. Real brothers like me don't co-sign stereotyping and demonizing women. Black women are Queens. One of these cowards committed suicide and murdered an innocent girl. These sellouts demonize sisters, but I will never fall into their trap. That trap is apart of a white supremacist tactic to divide BM and BW. These sellouts on the Internet are apart of a wicked system) and you blame black women for not getting a date or for your own insecurities, you are a coward and you are wrong period. These sellouts bashing women have low self esteem and self hatred issues. This self hatred mentality is grown by the corporate culture and that wicked culture expresses an unrealistic code of conduct (instead of promoting the uniqueness of the human race in its shapes and sizes). It's as plain as I can see as a product of being brainwashed by a white supremacist mentality (some of these sellouts are from the suburbs not just the urban area. We know their type if you get what I'm saying. There are sellouts who are women too, so it isn't just one gender). The solution is for these sellouts is for them to gain some manhood, be taught confidence, and let them learn about the glorious history of black men and black women. I've seen where I'm from intellectual brothers (there are plenty of black women that like smart brothers and 9 to 5 working brothers too), business type of brothers, althetic brothers, rich brothers, poor brothers, and other types of brothers having fun and going out with respectable sisters all of the time. So, there is no excuse. I will co-sign upliftment, social improvement, respect, honor, and real principles. A real grown man shouldn't scapegoat women for anything in life.

I do feel that we need to support single Black women since they are a part of our blood. It doesn't even have to be romantic. It can be moral support and financial support since these people are still sisters and we love them. I will never stop loving a sister. I respect brothers dropping jewels like the Moor and crammasters. I enjoy their commentaries on issues. So, we should have compassion toward women as human beings. We always love our sisters and it's our job to be men, stand up for truth, and be strong.
As men, we can't change the past. Yet, we can change the present and the future. We go through pain, but the answer to moving forward isn't the throwing of black women under the bus. The solution is finding ways to move forward. These ways include to better communicate with people on how we feel, to treat all peoples with dignity and respect, to have strength to stand up for ourselves & others, support (including love) plus stand up for black females, and never scapegoat a group of people as an excuse to woman-hate. Black Women are our allies in this fight against white supremacy. A real woman wants a man to be a man and not act passive toward evil. We men should be men. In the end, we will be victorious. That's a guarantee. When you get older, it's time to not obsess with the past in a vindicative fashion. The past should be utilized as motivation for us to improve ourselves, our families, and our race. As men, we have to be more responsible for our actions and not take the road leading into destruction. Life is hard, but life isn't impossible for us to suceed. So, I'll never hate my blood and I will always love my people, especially sisters who gave me my life literally.

Good brother, I would never denigrate the efforts of yesterday - devils do that. However, I have the benefit of hindsight - an accurate history. If you get the opportunity read the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. After reading those pieces of legislations you will immediately see it was appeasement; not remedies to injustices. More so, changes in the law always benefits status quo because the many refuse to read the legislation for themselves. Lastly, LBJ was a con artist. As Majority Leader of the Senate, he prevent meaningful legislation during the Eisenhower Administration. LBJ was not the friend our people believe him to be. Leaving this question, since Kennedy did nothing in his over a 1000 days in office, what made us to believe an enemy of our people would do differently?

Competing - if something is wrong, the only way to make it right is through corrections or doing it over. Corrections in society via the law gives those in authority the stage. Doing it over gives a majority population the control. When I suggested competing, I simply am suggesting in communities where we are the majority or close to the majority we adhere to new strategies than the ones that failed. We are a brilliant people. We have to trust ourselves to solve our problems. As far as businesses, if we were economical astute as we should be, we would understand most companies are seriously in debt. Therefore, new companies, with cash instead of credit can provide same services at a cheaper price. This is what I mean by using our heads. We cannot work within this system - this system is rotten. We have to build a new system - it is very doable.

To think Malcolm X hated Caucasians is different. Malcolm X understood Caucasians so hating them would make Malcolm X what he hated according to you. Malcolm X hated their ways. More so, no one should hate their enemy. Hate is an emotion so those who use emotions to drive decisions are foolish. Hating prevents logic and Malcolm X was way too intelligent to hate another. Lastly, Malcolm X never advocated violence. Malcolm X rightfully taught you cannot turn a cheek to a person who attacks you physically - you have to defend yourself.

Political Commentaries and More in June of 2011

You ought to thank the Koch brothers, since Scott Walker is their puppet, and THEY his corporate gods.

But thank God for the 61% of the American people who see through the corporate fascist machinations of Walker and the Koch brothers.

Now it's time to RECALL Walker along with other rightist enemies of the people in office.

First of all, the Democratic Party is NOT a socialist party. In fact, under Democrat Pres Wilson the Socialist party was repressed. Both Republicans and Democrats are corporate capitalist parties. You can have no intelligent understanding of American politics if you don't know that.

Also, the claim that the War on Poverty was a failure is at best a half truth, at worst a lie. Poverty dropped by FIFTY PER CENT during the Johnson Administration. The real waste of money was the VIETNAM WAR, which increasingly true funds and talents away from reforming society and elevating the poor, in order to promote an imperialist war abroad---a war for corporate interests as usual.

For the same reason that Republicans are against free speech, for the same reason that Republicans gave us McCarthy and McDarthyism and the Patriot Act: to defend CORPORATE INTERESTS and muzzle the masses of the people to prevent opposition. And, of course, to maintain an ignorant and dumb population that is more easily controlled.


 Dr. King criticized the Jonson administration severely. But it goes to show that while Democrats made concede more to the common poeple than Republicans, they are also tied to corporate geopolitical interests.

The more nuanced attitude expressed above is one which I often encountered while in Europe, not only among the French. Also among Swedes, Danes, British, Italians, etc.
The bellicose, one-dimensional anti-intellectualism that I was warned of I rarely experienced over there.
I found that what kind of response you get largely depends on how you carry yourself. of course, some Europeans are bastards as are some Americans...or Asians, Africans, Latin Americans, etc.
But usually the respect you get is the respect you receive. However, I did notice that there was a common picture of Americans naive or simply ignorant. "Don't Americans know ANYTHING about the world?" I'd sometimes hear said. When in Paris, I was at times taken aback by the SURPRISE expressed by Europeans that I actually was informed about things in Europe, Africa, Latin America and elsewhere. But once i stopped to ponder the matter, I realized that in fact Americans probably are less informed about the world than persons of equivalent status in other parts of the industrialized world. Some of my own research revealed (sadly without surprise) that we are generally less well read that people in other industrialized countries. Less knowledgeable about ideas or politics---the obvious insistance by characters in this thread that Obama is a socialist is an example of that ignorance.
Our having only two politial parties--both subservient to corporate interests---and virtual absence (except at the periphery) of opposition newspapers partly account for America's weakness in these areas.
But probably many foreigners would not find many of us so exaperating if we didn't compound our ignorance with ARROGANCE.
If ignorance is a problem, it can be corrected with learning. When ignorance combines with arrogance, there is little hope.
Ignorance + Arrogance=Stupidity. And as Schiller once wrote "Against stupidity even the gods struggle in vain."

To get back to the theme of nonviolence, I am learning more and more about a community of Black intellectuals in America--going back to the 30s & 40s--who were advocates of nonviolence, and some of whom were teachers of Dr. King.
One very old Black philosophers who belonged to what some called the circle of "black gandhians"---Richard I. McKinney---was one of my philosophy professors when I was a teenager. He died in 2005, at age 99.Before I was born he knew Martin Luther King, Jr. when King was a student.
Some of this info will come out in a book that I'm working on.

in addition the austrian school neglects to acknowledge all modern private sector technology is DERIVED From non other then federal infrastructure investments. For example all modern computer chips... Where did they come lfrom ?. The kennedy space program. The internet ? Darpa. modern trade routes ?. The intercontinental railway.... So you want the free markets? the free markets DONT EXIST. It is a utopian ideal. An acronym for goldman sachs and jp morgan

-Revolt 426

_______________________


Your denial is unbelievable, so let us go over a few BASIC FACTS about the Austrian Schools policies and what you are flat out IGNORING and REFUSE to address. How about you address the following instead of giving me mathmatical statistics that are irrelivant:

Let's start with History:
1: THE GREENBACK
You claim the economic boom in the 1800's was due to "Free Market" "Free Trade" and Gold Standards, 100% FALSE . DEBUNKED, DISINFORMATION. The FACT of the matter is, when Andrew Jackson came into office in 1829 and implimented your Domestic Gold Standard policies it resulted a temporary boom followed by a self destruction of the economy in 1837 via destruction of the State Issued currency and over issueing of Gold Convertable Notes. In the years after the panic of 1837, the U.S. Gradually moved towards complete bankruptcy until Lincoln was elected President. Lincoln , being an intelligent human being, removed the gold standard and revived the Greenback, directly investing it into agriculture technology and the Intercontinental Railway. What this did was it allowed the U.S. to BYPASS British Controlled Trade Routes and spurred the private sector by giving them a faster, more effecient alternative then naval routes.. After Lincoln was assassinated the Railway had already taken it's toll pushing the United States to the state of world economic superpower, this prompted Chancellor Otto Von Bismark of Germany to MIMIC the exact railway and credit policies of Lincoln, which he indeed did.... and the result was a tremendous re-industrialization of Germany.

NOW, In comes King Edward the 8th of Britain, Uncle of Keiser Willhelm of Germany. Otto Von Bismark made a secret peace treaty with the Czar of Russia to NOT INTERVENE should Austria invade the Balkans, to prevent continental war. So, the Keisers uncle King Edward pressured Willhelm to OUST Bismark, which nullified the peace arrangement and allowed King Edward to Draw Austria, Germany and Russia into a continental WAR as Britain sat back and essentially watched the other powers destroy each other, typical British Empire dirty tactics.

AFTER World War I, Britain, at the Treaty of Versailles blaimed the entire war on Germany and forced them to pay reperations. This , combined with the War debt put such a tremendous burdain on Germany that it was virtually unable to continue to function , and without real leadership it lead to Hyperinflation....... the most importent aspect of this is, without the Treaty of Versailles , Germany would not have collapsed.

2: The GOLD STANDARD
Let us begin with addressing the fact that the Gold Standard is a form of Anglo Dutch Usery because they have a monopoly on the world gold supplies and we can go from there.....
Now Let's emphasis what the Gold Standard would RESULT IN, AS IT DID in the 1830's:
Keep in mind, in the 1800's there were MILLIONS of people, and we are in the year 2009 with a Word Population of 7 BILLION HUMAN BEINGS. So, you propose we peg the BASIC economic needs and expansion of these 7 billion human beings to a piece of metal. The Result of this is nothing short of pure GENOCIDE. Besides the ABSURD notion that gold has intrinsic value, considering gold cannot grow little GOLD LEGS and produce Labour and PHYSICAL GOODS that other nations purchase, There is not enough gold on the Planet to sustain 7 Billion Human Beings if pegged to economic expansion. The main result would be a deflationary holocaust - so riddle me this. If you purchased a house via a 200,000$ mortgage and the dollar returned to the Gold standard, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY IT OFF AFTER THE RESULTING DEFLATION?. Keep in mind, the Gold Standard would strangle the economy for currency which is in itself a crime against humanity, but regardless, if payrolls go down and the dollar deflates you will be a SLAVE for the remainder of your life, paying off a mortgage, or even a simple student loan.

3: INFRASTRUCTURE
This includes the Gold Standard, because if it were implimented , the Nation States would not be able to build VITAL things such as Clean Water Treatment plants and Nuclear Power Plants which are the very things neccessary for the sustaining of 7 billion people world wide. Can you provide me with a solution to surviving without drinking water from the Von Mises book of insanity?. In addition, you fail to comprehend that without basic infrastructure in place the private sector will be UNABLE to rebuild it self, and keep in mind that the Private Sector is 100% BANKRUPT. So, you propose we WAIT , (As if any private sector growth would be even possible after the complete collapse of an economy) , Until the Private Sector "Grows" and allow the Private Sector to build infrastructure...... now that is what i call genocide, considering it would likely take the private sector atleast a decade, probably TWO decades to even attempt to rebuild itself, and with a Gold Standard it would be virtually impossible.

Please address the above 3 issues then we can continue debating, because these are the 3 major issues you have completely ignored. Thankyou.

The "right to work" when speken by rhe Right, is not a right to work, but a right of the right to exploit those who do work, and DENY work to whomever they please.
And the TYRANTS are the corporate plutocrats, not the workers. Big Business, which dominates the government as well as economic life, simply wants to reduce working people to modern or postmodern SERFDOM. That's the real meaning of the atrack on collective bargaining rights, and the real meaning of motinm filed by those corporate attorneys.

To get back to the theme of nonviolence, I am learning more and more about a community of Black intellectuals in America--going back to the 30s & 40s--who were advocates of nonviolence, and some of whom were teachers of Dr. King.
One very old Black philosophers who belonged to what some called the circle of "black gandhians"---Richard I. McKinney---was one of my philosophy professors when I was a teenager. He died in 2005, at age 99.Before I was born he knew Martin Luther King, Jr. when King was a student.

An Ode to the Sisters by crammasters (The Sisters are always Queens and Beautiful)

Hi Cram, welcome back brother and thanks for posting this blog again. I started wearing my hair natural again about 5 years ago and have received a lot of different comments. I wear it in a very close cut afro and love it. Needless to say, I am free! I may change up and start wearing braids for awhile because I want to do something different. Though I love doing different things with my hair, I don?t ever see myself putting strong chemicals in my hair again to straighten it. I am not against people doing different things with their hair but I think they need to examine the motivation behind why they do it. I have received different comments from people since wearing my hair natural. A few have stated they admire me for being ?that bold? to go natural, because they could never be that bold. They give various answers when I ask why is it I am being ?bold? instead of just accepting myself the way God made me. Some wanted to know what happened to my hair since I was ?beautiful? when my hair was straightened. A relative said women that wear afros look too ?manly?. Back in the 60s this same relative was the one who tried to outdo other women by wearing the biggest afro. When I point that out to her, she acts like she doesn?t know what I am talking about. I suppose for some that was all just a FAD instead of us really getting in touch with the way our Creator made us and loving ourselves all the same. Also, it is mass confusion how we associate ?femininity? with European beauty standards. Some think that by straightening your hair this is an ?improvement? as if you can improve on what God has already done. A friend once joked to me by saying ?you cannot improve on perfection? (LOL!!!). When you think about it, anything God does is perfect already.


I would like to add that whenever I do get positive comments about my afro, it is usually from younger Black men. Oddly, most of the negative stuff actually comes from older blacks. That really had me baffled until I started reading your blogs and realized that progressive thinking blacks come in all age groups and because you have some ?mileage? on you does not mean you necessarily have wisdom.



_________________




what do I love about Black Women? I have a blog on BP called, "A Black Man's Tribute to His Naturally Nappy, Beautiful Woman" but i'm sure they won't let me post the link here...


i'll just repost part of what i wrote in my blog...


"As I travel down memory lane, remembering all the the Hershey-sweet chocolate, dark honey-brown, mocha, caramel, and lemon creme girl-woman queens that had my young head spinning like a top…


I didn’t know what it was then, but there was always something special, richer, deeper, more stimulating physically and mentally about black women that I didn’t see in the women who weren't....Some folks call it “soul"... baby….
----
I can only speak for myself When I say I prefer the naturally nappy hair on my head That's identical to the naturally nappy hair On my woman's pretty head
---
She wears it short and tapered, So it kisses the dark, sexy curve of her neck The texture of her hair under my roving fingers, Is a soft, springy cushion that doesn’t lay down flat But pushes back, like it has a life and a mind of its own
Sitting on top of her pretty, naturally nappy head
----
When I caress her hair, And look into her black eyes I see the history of our life together 500 years of loving and laughter...triumphs and tears...
---
And a feeling reaches deep into my black soul
Because my woman is authentic, soulful and the real deal...She is ME And I am HER
---
Our hair connects us to our majestic past,
To the rivers and valleys of our ancestral lands
We came from the first people GOD made,
---
And it is with extreme gratitude that God saw fit to give me the same hair on my head that the first man on earth had on his...
----
D___...that pretty black female sure looks good
with all that soft, naturally nappy stuff on her head
---


that is what I love about black women, what i love about myself because i can't love myself UNLESS i love them...

I haven't seen one of these threads in a while. NICE. 

Physically, I love a black woman's skin, lips, soft features, dark eyes, her hair, her thick legs and all that comes with it, lol. 

Mentally, I love her strength, her intelligence, her sense of pride, her respect, her ability to share her opinions, her kindness, her love, her support, her ability to lead without calling herself the leader

Culturally, I love the fact that she can understand me and I can understand her. We can relate to each other's struggles and situations. We can just vibe well together and she provides me a sense of comfort.

I'll always have love for a good black woman.

Books supported by crammasters (Great book and I recommend them, especially to those that want to research information):


http://www.trojanhorse1.com/dgr.htm (This is interesting since I'm very naturally attracted to dark skinned women since I can just keep it real and communicate with them with pure honesty. I still got a lot of love for light skinned and brown skin sisters too [we are all black of course and we are all equal with our beautiful skin tones. As a black brother, I love all black sisters of every complexion. All sisters are beautiful. On the real, I have a huge amount of love for the light skinned sisters, for the brown skinned sisters, and for the dark skinned sisters. All of you are beautiful & special. We are all one as black people. I will make that known forever], but this book gives the dark skinned sisters much needed respect and love too). So, the real brothers will always have the sisters' back. We won't forsake you nor allow you to be degraded.

http://www.trojanhorse1.com/icg.htm


http://www.trojanhorse1.com/bl.htm


http://www.trojanhorse1.com/th.htm


I guess people like Umoja want to fight for black power & black love (against white supremacy) and I'm all for it. So, I will always love the sisters since there is nothing like a sister. The only group of people that gave me the most love, support, dignity, respect, etc. have always been black females period. You don't have to agree with all of my views and that's fine. I have to show controversial views since sometimes truthful, yet controversial views are necessary to maintain a real comprehension of the real world and these views can create a reality of reforms and real changes against bigotry and injustice.

I love Black women because of their
enduring strength, a strength that at times has risen
above the failures of Black fathers. 

I love their
curly hair, their braided hair, their straightened and
even kinky hair. 

I love their full lips and, of
course, their brown sugar skin. 

But most of all, I
love Black women because I am the product of a Black
woman. Black men are born of Black women and
influenced by the Black women in their lives. 

I have
