Osama Bin Laden Killed A Week Ago?

For 12 days I took in no solid food of any type.  Including that I wrote nothing.  I guess I needed a little break from the keyboard.  Surely, I have enough in my mind just dying to come out, and it will.  However, the news broke in this evening at about 10:30 on the East coast screaming that Bin Laden has been killed.  President Obama's ramped up, but quiet pursuit of the terrorist madman has paid off if we believe the "news" agencies.  First report stated that Bin Laden had been killed when an unmanned aircraft (drones) fired missiles killing 25 men and Bin Laden was believed to have been one of the 25 killed.  Shortly after, the next report said JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) troops went into Pakistan and raided a compound killing Osama Bin laden with one shot to the head.  Just in case you don't know, JSOC teams are a joint team of Navy Seals and Army Rangers.  Their specialty, is close combat within 50 to 100 yards. 

But, wait a minute!  Didn't Fox News report Bin Laden was dead way back when?  Like December, 2001? Or What about the French reporting Bin Laden was dead in 2006?

Or maybe Benazir Bhutto was just speaking out the side of her neck when she said Bin Laden had been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh in November 2007.

Yeah, well, who's telling the truth?  Bhutto was killed in December 2007.  So, tonight candidate president Obama has shocked those who can be shocked with the news that JSOC has killed Bin Laden.  You decide!

"...I Care Not Who Makes The Laws"

Speaker of the House John Boehner

This past election made a very strong statement about the U.S.  Simply, the U.S. voter is insane.  A sign of insanity is to continue to do the same ole thangs, expecting different results.   At least that's what they tell me.  On Tuesday voters put the Republicans back in office.  The Georgia state house, both chambers, are now all under Republican control.  They took back their states, and their country.  John Boehner said this vote was a repudiation of Washington.  They are so used to playing the imaginations of the U.S. public that a man who's made a career in Washington since 1991, can stand and look you in the face (by TV camera) and say this is a repudiation of Washington as if he were not a part of Washington.  He is Washington.  Of course my Black mind heard what he was really saying.  'This is a repudiation of Obama.'  The hubris of today's politicians is palpable.  The ignorance of the U.S. voter is incomprehensible.

So, the mental battle of Democrat vs. Republican, Conservative vs. Liberal, Green Party vs. Libertarian and T.E.A. Party vs. everybody else is joined.  They will battle on the television, radio, internet and all your print sources.  The people will rally round their party (letting us know they are only interested in their part of the pie) and create a great resounding noise led by what ever over the air personality that fits into their way of thinking.  All sponsored by General Electric, ViaCom, Ruppert Murdock or Gannett.  I once saw Robert C. Maynard, former editor of the Oakland Tribune, state on a PBS program that it was his job to sell advertisement.  Wow, the editor's  job is to sell advertisement.  Not to inform.  Not to bring awareness, but to sell advertisement.  This is one of the reasons the (not) Federal Reserve Bank is quietly being allowed to assert its power over the U.S. no matter who is in office.  Yes, power over Obama, Boehner, Pelosi or whoever talks loudest in Washington.  Ben Bernake is the man in charge.  Those other heads taling are just the left hand of the snake charmer dazzling your mind while he slips his right hand around our collective throats.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernake

All the while everyone is focused on taking back their country or try to rebuff those from taking a seat in both houses and  keeping their country, both Democrats and Republicans and all others in those houses, senate and congress (and White House) are consenting to a private banking corporation (the not Federal Reserve) to mess with your money.  QEII is being sanctioned by the White House, congress, and senate to devalue the dollars in your pocket.  Pumping likely 800 billion dollars (though they announce 660 billion) into the economy is going to cause higher inflation.   Quantitative Easing  II.  Easing for whom?  Inflation is surely going to shred your Federal Reserve notes to pieces.    (De)Pressing most of us, no easing for the general U.S. population.   Inflation plays out as the price of everything going up!  Argue whether you are Democrat, Republican, Conservative, T.E.A. Party, Liberal, Socialist, or Communist if you will, just remember these words;

Mayer Amschel Rothchild said "Give me control over a naitons money, and I care not who makes the laws."

Min. Louis Farrakhan said "If this is to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people.  Then the enlightenment of the people must be the corner stone of a truly democratic society.  It is only when the masses of the people are enlightened and have enlightened self interests that  vote in a democratic society has real meaning."

Whats In Your Wallet?

Often on my daily commute lively conversations occur from sports (not often about the court jester athletes on you TV set) to economics.  Since the mid-term elections are closing in on us this was the topic on Friday.  Joining our circle were a few Obamaholics and the recent voter types that never thought about politics until Barack Obama became the headliner in the last national election.  

Of course, the main point many were making was the importance of getting out to vote in this election since the Democrats could lose the House and the Senate, the Tea Party seemingly had a strong influence on the previous primary elections and appear not only to be pushing towards a Republican resurgence but, far right almost fanatical right Republican surge.  I'm sure you can ascertain the majority of the voices on the commuter train were Democrat.  Not all of us claim such, but most do.  The call by president Obama is certainly being repeated by my Democrat train compadres. But, the voice of one of the recent voter types, who finally paid attention to politics, spoke up and posed a question as to why she should be interested on the upcoming vote. 

Her concern centered around healthcare. Or more precisely the affects of the Obama Healthcare reform bill that passed.  On her job they were notified that their healthcare premiums would be increasing.  She would go from paying approximately ninety dollars per paycheck to around 145 dollars every two weeks.   She expressed her concern since this would cut deeper into her pay and leave her less to work with. She is a divorced mother of three receiving virtually no support from her ex-husband.  "When the Republicans are in office I get hurt, the Democrats are in office and here again I get hurt.  So, why should I run to the polls to vote for either since they both hurt me?"  She voted for the current president for change she said, but this is not the change she envisioned.  How do we help this sister to see her way to vote in November when what she sees in her wallet will be a lot less?

Krs One; fresh for 2010 you suckas!!!!!!!

Its not the communist you have to worry about

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.  Seemingly, 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 for the current recession/depressiion by saying from Wall Street, to Washington, to Main Street a culture of irresponsibility took root.  In that vein the president moved to give the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve Board, greater oversight in monitoring the biggest financial firms considered critical to the health of the overall banking system.

The Federal Reserve Board has been given unprecidented oversight authority by president Obama.  Make no mistake, the Federal Reserve is not a government agency and is not beholden to the U.S. government in any fashion.  Actually, the U.S. government is beholden to the Fed.  The Federal Reserve Board is a cartel of private national and international bankers that control the printing of money in the United States. But, who are the communist these so called conservatives are speaking of?

James Paul Warburg son of Paul Moritz Warburg (Daddy Warbucks) of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, stated in the U.S. senate on February 17, 1950 “We shall have World Government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” Kuhn, Loeb and & Co. is not a communist or socialist organization, but an investment bank. Kuhn, Loeb & Co, founded in 1867, financed Westinghouse and Western Union in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Today the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. have merged with Lehman Brothers and later absorbed by American Express. AKA, Wall Street.  Are the Warburgs communist?

David Rockefeller

 writes in his book Memoirs that “For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing

my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it”

Who would classify the Rockefeller family as socialist/communist? This family is truly one of the most influential capitalist, industrial and banking families in U.S. history, and in fact were part of the group that formed the private bank now known as the Federal Reserve.

David Rockefeller proudly admits to being part of this “cabal of internationalist.” 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.
