Unbelievably, there are people in the United States that are still obsessed with the fear of a socialist take over of the government. I have to pinch myself to make sure I’ve not fallen asleep and somehow been transported back in time to the McCarthy era or the Reagan era of the 1980’s, when then president Ronald Reagan sought to and destroyed the “evil empire”, referring to the former USSR.

In 2009, many communist countries don't even believe in true communisim anymore (if they ever really did).  I am not here to defend communism, socialism or even capitalism for that matter, but to explore the inane rhetoric being espoused by many white U.S. citizens and sadly Black and non white people are joining in on the socialist/communist hooplah.  The very idea that communist/socialist are taking over the U.S. government and creating a one world government is flying all over the radio airwaves and the blogsphere, including the black blogshere.  But, obviously these radio host may be hiding something else behind their use of the word socialist when referring to president Obama, but thats another story in another book.  How then can Black bloggers and radio host really believe in a communist take over of the U.S. government and the world, when the facts of who is really behind it betray their beliefs? 

President Obama has made it very clear in his actions that he is very pro Wall Street and somewhat oblivious to Main Street as I interpret his actions.  In an 89 page white paper president Obama spread the blame across the board by saying from Wall Street, to Washington, to Main Street

Unbelievably, there are people in the United States that are still obsessed with the fear of a socialist take over of the government. I have to pinch myself to make sure I’ve not fallen asleep and somehow been transported back in time to the McCarthy era or the Reagan era of the 1980’s, when then president Ronald Reagan sought to destroy the “evil empire”, referring to the former USSR.

Carter G. Woodson once said

“If you can control a man’ s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions...”   With that thought in mind, I have to ask myself; what’s the purpose of this resurgence of socialist fear mongering? My point is far from the defense of socialism, communism or capitalism for the matter. What concerns me is the purpose behind this inane rhetoric, especially when espoused by Black people.

On this site in a post entitled Do You Love Obama More Than You Love America’s Sovereignty? there is a quote by Lord Christopher Monckton former policy advisor to Margaret Thatcher, from an speech he gave concerning the Framework Convention on Climate Change to the Free Market Institute at Bethel University. Lord Monckton is quoted as saying “I have read that treaty and what it says is this: That a world government is going to be created...they are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president that has very strong sympathies with that point of view.”

Communist? Is this a twist of the definition of the word communist such as the South Africans did during their oppression of Black people under Botha and De Clerk?  That, anyone who was not for their government was labeled communist. President Obama seems to be very pro Wall Street and anti Main street as I see his actions. In an 89 page white paper president Obama spread the blame across the board for the recession/depression, from Wall Street, to Washington to Main Street. Of course we, everyday wage earners, are Main Street and some how we have to share in the blame for the recession that the corporations and banksters orchestrated.

The government, which includes president Obama and actually starting with former president G.W. Bush, has pumped nearly 1 trillion dollars into the banking system in order to stay afloat.  On the surface, this gives the appearance the government is taking over the banking system and "we the people" now own the banks and the government has now taken control of the banks.  This is part of the fodder those who want to lead others down the path of a belief in a socialist take over

 

by screaming socialism and communism with every other breath. But, in actuality the president, according to the white paper would put the U.S. central bank in charge of monitoring the nations biggest financial firms, those considered critical to the health of the system as a whole. Or more specifically president Obama will give greater oversight powers to the Fed.

But, ask yourself; who is the U.S. central bank, ie the Fed? The Federal Reserve Board is not, I repeat, is NOT a federal agency at all, but a cartel of PRIVATE banksters. Yes, private bankers and not a government agency, will have the greatest oversight. These bankers (represented by Ben Bernanke) are far from communist and I cannot imagine anyone with the slightest bit of sense could say that the government is becoming socialist under president Obama when he is giving more power to private banksters, many of whom are international banksters. Maybe Lord Monckton does have a point about a one world government. If we take a look at who is advocating for a one world government, could we still come to a belief in a communist world government?

So, when Lord Monckton says a “...impose a communist world government...”, what is he saying by using the word communist when these capitalist banking families admit to undermining the U.S. government? David Rockefeller proudly admits to being part of this “cabal.” What is the purpose of these Black conservatives that join in on this verbal garbage? It’s a shame when Black people are being led by the 

nose by the likes of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage by joining in and repeating such mis-information. We should be about educating Black people first and foremost and stepping away from joining “boss” in his mis-education of the public.

Do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?

words

Words, phrases and sayings all have roots in other languages that have come over into English and on to the (A)Merican language. Many words we use today may have common origins and meanings familiar to us and others may not. For instance I’ve noticed how the word Black evolves and bleaches to white in it’s origins. Here are some words that we use everyday and may not have thought of their etymological roots or where they come from and how they just may affect our psyche without us ever noticing. I thought about this when I saw the Chris Tucker character in the movie Rush Hour said to his Chinese collegue “do you understand the words that are coming our of my mouth?” So I ask do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?

Wife - Having roots in that of a veiled person, shame or female shame; pudenda “one being made to shame.” To the Germanic wibam (wombman) or simply woman. Originally having nothing to do with being in a state of marriage.

Witch - Later understood to be a woman having dealings with the devil. From the Germanic female soothsayer, wikken. One skilled with drugs or poisons (pharmacology). From the Gothic weihs meaning sacred. Ultimately a witch is a WISE woman.

Wit - As you can see the root of the word wit-ch. From the Germanic witz; a joke. Wid meaning to see, to see is to know.

Genius - One possessing superior intelligence. A person with distinguished mental prowess or an outstanding creative talent. The Romans believed the genius was the guiding or “tutelary”(guardian) spirit of a person, an inborn nature. From the Arabic Djinn or Genii, coming into English as “genie,” from the Kemetan (Egyptian) Guardian Angel.

God/god - Origins of the word are uncertain. Possibly from Proto-Germanic gudan. The immanent spirit in a burial ground. Or the pouring of libations. Also, believed to be from the heathen word for deity. Possibly from the Proto-Indo-European grau meaning “to call or invoke”(conjure?) Others believe the word God/god derives from the Buddha’s patriarchal name Guatama or Gotama, to the Danish Gud, German Gott, to English God. At any rate the word God/god is a relatively new EUROPEAN invention in terms of history.

Healthcare or Medisin?

In this last video I will post, Dr. Pookrum speaks of the profound resistance and lack of care in the health industry she faced. She speaks of advising pregnant women of their options other than taking prenatal vitamins which she found, by reading several studies, have the possibility of causing birth defects and the effects of long term birth control pills usage on women. She expresses her surprise as a young doctor, to learn the older Black people on her staff (nurses and doctors) were not supportive of her decisions and down right hostile against her. The older Black staffers remained in support of a system that was not working, at least for the benefit of the patients. This supposes often that our greatest enemy can be those of our own collective. What guides this mentality? Why do people continue to support a system that is not helpful for the patients? Will the healthcare bill address the mentality of the healthcare worker? Will nurses work less hours? Will new doctors be afforded proper rest during residency? Or will it be the same ole’ medisin?
