			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div align="center"><img src="http://inkylovesnature.com/blog_images/warrior-queen-cleanser-blog.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div><br />
Matriarchal warrior tribes and matrilineal tribal descent are a continuing theme in African history and in some cases survived into modern times. One of the great African warrior queens of the ancient world was Majaji, who led the Lovedu tribe which was part of the Kushite Empire during the Kushite's centuries long war with Rome. The empire ended in 350 AD when the Kushite stronghold of Meroe fell to repeated Roman assaults. Majaji led her warriors in battle armed with a shield and spear and is believed to have died on the walls of Meroe.<br />
<br />
The Egyptian warrior queens, descended from the royal house of Kush, included Ahotep, the 7 Cleopatras and Arsinoe II &amp; III. They ruled Egypt and led her army and navy through Roman times. A succession of Ethiopian Queens and military leaders known as Candace were also descended from the Kush. The first Candace, leading an army mounted on war elephants, turned back Alexander's invasion of Ethiopia in 332 BC. In 30 BC Candace Amanirenas defeated an invasion by Patronius, the Roman governor of Egypt and sacked the city of Cyrene. <br />
<br />
In 937 AD Judith, Queen of the Falash, attacked Axum, sacred capital of Ethiopia killing all the inhabitants including the descendants of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.<br />
<br />
Through the 10th and 11th centuries the Hausa states (modern day Nigeria) were ruled by the Habe warrior queens: Kufuru, Gino, Yakumo, Yakunya, Walzana, Daura, Gamata, Shata, Batatume, Sandamata, Yanbamu, Gizirgizir, Innagari, Jamata, Hamata, Zama and Shawata. Centuries later Amina, daughter of Queen Turunku of the Songhai in mid-Niger ruled the Hausa empire from 1536 to 1573. She extended her nation's boundaries to the Atlantic coast, founded cities and personally led her army of 20,000 soldiers into battle. <br />
<br />
Mbande Zinga was the sister and advisor of the king of Ngola (today Angola) and served a his representative in negotiating treaties with the Portuguese. She became queen when her brother died in 1624 and appointed women, including her two sisters Kifunji and Mukumbu, to all government offices. When the Portuguese broke the peace treaty she led her largely female army against them inflicting terrible casualties while also conquering nearby kingdoms in an attempt to build a strong enough confederation to drive the Portuguese out of Africa. She accepted a truce and then agreed to a peace treaty in 1635. She continued to rule her people and lived to be 81. When Angola became an independent nation in 1975 a street in Luanda was named in her honor. <br />
<br />
Llinga, a warrior queen of the Congo armed with ax, bow and sword fought the Portuguese in 1640. Women warriors were common in the Congo where the Monomotapa confederacy had standing armies of women.<br />
<br />
Kaipkire, warrior leader of the Herero tribe of southwest Africa in the 18th century led her people in battles against British slave traders. There are records of Herero women fighting German soldiers as late as 1919.<br />
<br />
Nandi was the warrior mother of Shaka Zulu. She battled slave traders and trained her son to be a warrior. When he became King he established an all-female regiment which often fought in the front lines of his army. <br />
<br />
Mantatisi, warrior queen of the baTlokwas in the early 1800s fought to preserve her tribal lands during the wars between Shaka Zulu and Matiwane. She succeeded in protecting the baTlokwas heritage although her son, who became King when she died, was eventually defeated by Mahweshwe. <br />
<br />
Madame Yoko ruled and led the army of the fourteen tribes of the Kpa Mende Confederacy, the largest tribal group in 19th century Sierra Leone. At that time at least 15% of all the tribes in Sierra Leone were led by women, today approximately 9% have women rulers. <br />
<br />
Menen Leben Amede was Empress of Ethopia. She commanded her own army and acted as regent for her son Ali Alulus. She was wounded and captured in a battle in 1847 but was ransomed by her son and continued to rule until 1853.<br />
<br />
Seh-Dong-Hong-Beh, was a leader of the Dahomey Amazons under King Gezo. In 1851 she led an army of 6,000 women against the Egba fortress of Abeokuta. Because the Amazons were armed with spears, bows and swords while the Egba had European cannons only about 1,200 survived the extended battle. In 1892 King Behanzin of Dahomey (now Benin) was at war with the French colonists over trading rights. He led his army of 12,000 troops, including 2,000 Amazons into battle. Despite the fact that the Dahomey army was armed only with rifles while the French had machine guns and cannons, the Amazons attacked when the French troops attempted a river crossing, inflicting heavy casualties. They engaged in hand to hand combat with the survivors eventually forcing the French army to retreat. Days later the French found a bridge, crossed the river and defeated the Dahomey army after fierce fighting. The Amazons burned fields, villages and cities rather than let them fall to the French but merely delayed Dahomey being absorbed as a French colony. <br />
<br />
In the late 19th century Mukaya, the leader of the Luba people of central Africa whose nation stretched along the rain forest from Zaire to northern Zambia, led her warriors in battle against enemy tribes and rival factions. Initially she fought alongside her brother Kasongo Kalambo, after he was killed in battle she assumed sole control of the empire and the army.<br />
<br />
Nehanda (1862-1898) was a priestess of the MaShona nation of Zimbabwe. She became a military leader of her people when the British invaded her country. She led a number of successful attacks on the English but was eventually captured and executed.<br />
<br />
Taytu Betul (1850-1918) was Empress of Ethopia. During her 14 year reign she established and named the modern capital of Addis Ababa, she led troops in battle and negotiated peace treaties. She retired from public life after the death of her husband.<br />
<br />
Yaa Asantewaa (1850-1921) the Queen Mother of one of the Asante states of Ghana led her army in continuous battles against the British until her capture.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><b><font color="#333333">White racism through information management</font></b><br />
<br />
  <font face="Arial">Information management, social engineering, and traffic shaping are the evil crafts of modern institutionalized racism. No group more than Black people need to recognize this fact and understand how it is now being so detrimentally used against them.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">This disclosure is not a blind indictment of all whites while turning a blind eye to our self inflicted problems. Nor is this an attempt to peddle victim-hood to absolve or shirk ourselves of our own personal responsibilities as Black people. This instead is a truth that needs to be recognized and addressed if we Black people are to survive and be apart of the future.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">Although today most African Americans do not experience racism the way their parents experienced it, they do, however, still experience White racism.  America's white elites practices of economically exploiting and suppressing its Black population was never truly abandoned; it was instead secretly modified into a more contemporary and stealthy design. </font><font face="Arial">Today’s method of deploring white racism </font><font face="Arial">has sophisticatedly evolved far beyond the previous blatant, now morally unacceptable, methods used in the past. </font><font face="Arial">Today’s modern system prevails by using misinformation as a tool to spread false beliefs about and among the masses of the Black population that ensured the continuance of white dominance and control. It is a mass manipulation program that works by psychologically affecting the unconscious mind through deception. It uses the media’s proven ability to manipulate and influence individual perceptions and public opinion to adversely affect its targeted Black population. </font><br />
  <font face="Arial">. </font><br />
  <font face="Arial">The usage of information is rarely considered when discussing method of emitting white racism; however this progression was a logical choice because information management is a powerful tool. It is the single most important thing that moves the world economy, influences political regimes, defines meaningful thoughts and constructs human behavior. </font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">While although most </font><font face="Arial">African Americans are unaware of how white racism is now emitted through information management, nonetheless, and to the detriment of millions of African Americans, it has been extremely effective. It is by far the most detrimentally proficient racist system ever to confront Black people. It affects the Black mind by using deception, and psychological manipulation. It conveniently provides a more socially acceptable and covert means of maintaining white dominance and control. </font><br />
  <font face="Arial">Recognizing this stealthy racist system is often very difficult for many of its Black victims. Because Black people have been so deliberately bombarded with so much deplorably negative images of themselves, it has therefore become easier for many to believe that it is they that are their own worst enemies rather than now white racism. Therefore, recognizing this truth will require that many of its Black recipients overcome their psychologically engrained negative perceptions of themselves and favorable perceptions of whites. These perceptions have been deliberately unrelentingly indoctrinated upon the Black psyche through this very same manipulation process that this article exposes.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">   The national media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports. They covertly function as psychosocial programs. By using the media’s proven ability to manipulate and influence the masses, the U.S. government white elites have developed a more covert method of controlling its Black population.  The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with—through a white controlled media--is a very carefully and deliberately designed mass media social manipulation program. Its negative portrayals of African Americans are deliberately designed to adversely manipulate and shape their minds and collective consciousness. It covertly controls and divides African Americans by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves while insinuating that they admire, respect, and trust only Whites.  It drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, character, and intelligence. It conditions Black people to accept white dominance over their lives by convincing them that it is now they that are their own worst enemies-- and that they need whites to govern over their lives.  Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to break down African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group.  </font><br />
  <font face="Arial">Moreover, it totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. To the detriment of many African Americans, it has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. It is at the root of both the profound division and self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and is at the heart of internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial"> It was this psychosocial program –that through its “favorable pro white” marketing campaign- made the white race the litmus test and standard for all humanity despite their brutally racist history to the contrary. It is also responsible for the false sense of superiority that many whites now possess.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">This system uses misinformation to ensure the continuance of white dominance and control. This is not all an uncommon practice. Information management, social engineering, and traffic shaping are the evil crafts of the digital age.</font><font face="Arial">Therefore they that control the world’s information control the world.  </font><br />
  <font face="Arial"> In the United States it was implemented against African Americans in response to the Black power and civil rights movements of the 1960’s. This method </font><font face="Arial">provides the U.S. government with a more socially acceptable means of continuing its White racial dominance and control. Unlike the blatantly overt system of racism used in the past that resulted in African Americans unifying themselves against it, this modern stealthy designed racist system is covertly deplored therefore it is not as easily recognized or even comprehended by its Black victims.   It is so subtle, pervasive, well-organized, complete, and proficient and yet most African Americans are totally unaware of this method of emitting white racism. In fact many African Americans will find it too shocking to contemplate. </font><font face="Arial">Nevertheless, it is directly intertwined with the extensive challenges negatively impacting Black America today. It is so well disguised that although many of its Black victims may instinctively feel that there is something wrong, they are however unable to sufficiently conceptualize it so that they can unify and defend themselves against it.  It is so sophisticated that even the very brightest of African Americans may have little, if any hope of extricating themselves from its detrimental effects. </font><br />
  <div align="center"><div align="center"><b><font face="Arial">IT ALSO CREATES PUBLIC CONSENT FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE </font></b></div></div>  <font face="Arial">Not only does this massive manipulation campaign negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, it  is also designed to create a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore engendering increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed. It also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified.  When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified. This method of control and suppression is based upon the methods of propaganda techniques of renowned psychologist and United States propaganda specialist Dr. Edward Bernays. This is what mass manipulation propaganda specialist Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “engineering consent”.  </font><br />
  <font face="Arial"> Through this media driven psychosocial program the masses of African Americans remains the most racially devalued and most economical exploited and suppressed group in America.  The effects of this social program are also manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance.  Through the usage of mass psychological manipulation White America’s methods of institutionalized racism has been secretly modified into a more sophisticated and stealthy design. Unfortunately to the detriment of many African Americans this modern system of deploying white racism has been very proficient.  Some studies have shown that this social program has engendered increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation. </font><br />
  <font face="Arial">The many problems now facing Black America will not be corrected by implementing outdated strategies of foot marches, speeches, or the commemoration of fallen Black martyrs.  We can also no longer survive as a race addressing this modern system of racism using nineteen century strategies.  It is only by exposing and eradicating this modern covert system will real change be possible for African Americans.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">Unfortunately, for Black America, this modern racist system will not be discontinued because of the historic presidency of Barrack Obama.  Because America’s true rulers, the white elites-- they that maintain their positions of powers and prestige  regardless of who is president-- merely intends to use this presidency fame and image as a means for restoring America's eroded global image and standing in the world.  They may also use it to solidifying their positions of white dominance by perpetuating the false hood that America has truly become a fair and equal society thus making Black cries for true equality even lesser heard.   Unless the masses of Black people are made aware of this modern racist system and unify themselves against it, the white elites will continue to use it against us --even with one Black president.   </font><br />
  <font face="Arial">Black people throughout the world must educate themselves about what is really going on. This understanding is in fact extremely imperative if Black people are to be a part of the future. In order for Black people to acquire real positive change within the entire global community it is imperative that we understand how white racism has sophisticatedly evolved and then confront it unrelentingly. </font><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>There will be a counter-rally against white-supremacist neo-nazis holding their rally in Riverside, Ca. this coming Saturday Oct.24, 2009. <br />
<br />
It will start at Madison Street and Indiana Ave. We will be on Madison, east of Indiana and Indiana north of Madison. The nazis will be on the other side. Then we will march east on Madison to Ygnacio Villegas, then north on Ygnacio Villegas to Villegas Park after the nazis leave. Be there starting at 10:00A.M.. For directions e-mail Kevin Akin at:<br />
<br />
<a href="mailto:kevinakin1950@hotmail.com">kevinakin1950@hotmail.com</a><br />

or Benjamin at:<br />
<br />
<a href="mailto:antiracistie@gmail.com">antiracistie@gmail.com</a><br />
<br />
The Riverside P.D. is reportedly going to be there to keep both rallies separated. But, being that this is the same RPD that murdered Tyisha Miller in 1998, it's a good bet they will be busier &quot;protecting&quot; the nazis from us than us from the white supremacists, which means keep a sharp eye on BOTH the nazis and the cops! It also means we need to keep it peaceful, and have as many people out there so we outnumber BOTH the cops and the nazis!(safety in numbers). So please spread the word far and wide!<br />
<br />
Let's keep it peaceful and keep it safe so we let the white supremacists know they need to take their racist shit somewhere else!</div>

			<title>Black National Anthem vs Black Nationalist Anthem</title>

			<description>Black National Anthem vs. Black Nationalist Anthem  
 
 
 
“Lift ev’ry voice and sing,  
Till Earth and heaven ring,  
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty,  
Let our rejoicing rise  
High as the list’ning skies,  
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.”</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Black National Anthem vs. Black Nationalist Anthem <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Lift ev’ry voice and sing, <br />
Till Earth and heaven ring, <br />
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty, <br />
Let our rejoicing rise <br />
High as the list’ning skies, <br />
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.”<br />
<br />
These are the quaint lyrics of a song that has been popularly declared the Black National Anthem. Composed in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson, this song is typically sung today by African-Americans during special occasions to honor our struggle and history in this country. Yet, few have ever questioned the history of this ballad, its author or the effort to declare it our Black National Anthem. Let us examine the history of this anthem and determine if it merits the distinction of being our &quot;Black National Anthem.&quot; <br />
<br />
Lift Every Voice and Sing was originally composed as an ode to President Abraham Lincoln, despite his being an avowed racist who felt ‘Negroes were inferior to whites and unworthy of any social or political equality.’ It was dedicated to “Honest Abe” in gratitude for our deliverance from slavery and it encourages African people to pledge allegiance to America. Eventually, music was added to the poem by Mr. Johnson’s brother, John, and the song circulated across the country, quickly becoming a way for African Americans to demonstrate their patriotism and hope for the future.<br />
 <br />
Mr. Johnson's literary talent and popularity eventually earned him several positions of prominence in racist white America. After becoming America’s consul to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela in 1906 and Corinto, Nicaragua in 1909, Johnson was recognized as one of America’s most faithful Negro patriots. Not surprisingly, while in Nicaragua, he married the very “fair-skinned” Grace Nail, daughter of the prosperous real estate developer, John E Nail. Johnson resigned his consulship in 1913 and returned to the U.S. &quot;Always remaining, as the Author admits, &quot;True to our God, true to our native land (US).&quot; <br />
<br />
In 1916, Major Joel E Spingarn, a Jewish US Military Intelligence Officer (Negro Subversion Division) who doubled as head of the Jewish founded and led NAACP, offered Mr. Johnson the position of Field Secretary for the Association. By 1919, the NAACP loved the song so much they adopted it as their official song and declared it our Negro National Anthem. In 1920, Johnson was appointed the first &quot;Negro&quot; General Secretary of the Association. These were incredible accomplishments at a time when Negroes holding such a prominent office under a Zionist-led institution was virtually impermissible. Perhaps this is what the author meant by &quot;Have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?&quot; <br />
<br />
During this time as an executive of the NAACP, Mr. Johnson, along with his father-in-law John E Nail (one of the eight signatories of the Garvey Must Go Campaign), WEB Du Bois and others launched a brutal campaign against the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the UNIA. Johnson's popularity in the music industry and connections with the Boule' were exploited by the Zionist to discredit Mr. Garvey before black intelligentsia. <br />
<br />
After the NAACP finished pimping their literary prostitute, he resigned from the Association and spent his remaining days writing books like &quot;Negro Americans, What Now? (1934),&quot; a book that argues for integration as the only viable solution to America's racial problems. <br />
<br />
In short, this European-inspired jingle written by an avowed integrationist, white Supremacy propagandist and member of the Boule', was adopted by the Jewish-led NAACP and dumped on us as “our” Black National Anthem. Additionally, these lyrics invariably form a black pledge of allegiance to white America, not any independent black nation or self-governing racial empire. Considering these facts, this ode doesn’t quite fit the bill as our “National Anthem“. <br />
<br />
Fortunately, there is a song worthy of the distinction “Black National Anthem.” In 1920, the First International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World was called by the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Over 25,000 black delegates from over 40 different countries attended this plebiscite to establish an African World Empire and adopt the patriotic symbols that would inspire us to fortify our allegiance to our race. On August 13th, the Universal Ethiopian Anthem (along with the Red, Black and Green Flag) was introduced and ratified. It was composed by a spiritually-centered Pan Afrikan Nationalist, Rabbi Arnold Josiah Ford, and inspired by our need for cultural, economic, social and political independence and complete control over our racial destiny.<br />
 <br />
As we approach the 90th Anniversary of this historic International Convention, let us demonstrate our appreciation for the sacrifice of our ancestors in constructing the largest racial confraternity and empire of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
&quot;UP YOU MIGHTY RACE, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WILL!&quot;</div>

			<title>What Will The Future Bring Under Obama? (1)</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Obama ran on the platform of change. Although he never defined that change, he left enough clues so that we can make an educated guess about what that change would entail. The most important clue is his mental profile. We need to understand his mind, the way he thinks and how he perceives the world in order to calculate what he's likely to do. <br />
<br />
Mr. Obama most likely suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. It means he fantasizes about unlimited success, power and brilliance, without commensurate talents.  Many people tell me, so what? Everybody is narcissist to some degree. Why should Obama’s narcissism concern us?  <br />
<br />
In view of the fact that there is so little understanding of narcissism and this disorder has caused so much havock, I will explain it first. The darkest chapters of history, nearly all wars, and many religions are owed to this disorder. Narcissism has the potential to wipe out humanity and end life on this planet. No other disease has caused so much death and devastation than narcissism. We must learn about narcissism for our own survival. <br />
<br />
It is true that we are all narcissists and actually a healthy dose of narcissism is essential for our well being.  It makes us feel good about ourselves, we expect good things to happen to us, believe in our own potential, have a positive outlook at life, be optimistic and happy. However, narcissism as a disorder is an entirely different thing.  Let me explain this with a couple of examples:<br />
<br />
Blood pressure is a good thing.  It is vital. Without it we would die. However, when blood pressure becomes too high, it develops into hypertension and becomes a killer.  Take another example: We all have fat in our body. We cannot live without it. But obesity is a killer.  <br />
<br />
Likewise, a healthy dose of narcissism is necessary.  Pathological narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is destructve.   For the scope of this article, when I talk about narcissism I am referring to pathological narcissism. <br />
<br />
Despite the common misconception, pathological narcissism is not caused by too much self-love, but rather by its absence.  It is the result of intense feeling of inferiority. <br />
<br />
All humans have feelings of inferiority. From the moment we become conscious of the world around us we notice our own weakness and see everyone else as big and powerful.  This awareness causes feelings of inferiority. To avoid it we strive to overcome what causes it. So we learn new skills, triumph over our weaknesses and with each victory our self-esteem and self-confidence grow.  The feeling of inferiority becomes the drive behind our successes. To compensate for what we lack, we keep learning new things, acquiring new skills and gaining more mastery as we grow. <br />
<br />
For that to happen, it is imperative to have a healthy nurturing environment, particularly during the first six years of our lives. We need love, attention, care and encouragement in healthy doses. That is what must be provided by the primary caregivers, particularly the mother. <br />
<br />
What happens if the nurturing during these crucial formative years is not adequate, or is missing, faulty, or smothering?  This is more likely to happen when one or both parents are absent, the primary caregiver is too young and inexperienced, or suffers from her own feeling of inferiority.  The child does not receive the nurturing and the encouragement to develop the skills that he needs to overcome his weaknesses.  Consequently his feeling of inferiority becomes chronic, or in Alfred Adler's parlance, &quot;inferiority complex.” <br />
<br />
The feelings of inferiority, or an inferiority complex causes shame.  Two things then may happen. <br />
<br />
The shame may cause identity disturbance, an unstable self-image and the loss of sense of self.  This may result  fear of abandonment, unstable interpersonal relationships (idealization and devaluation), impulsivity, engagement in self-damaging behavior (e.g., spending, sex and/or substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating), recurrent suicidal or self-mutilating behavior, irritability, anxiety, chronic feelings of emptiness, and many other debilitating traits.  This kind of emotional imbalance is classified as borderline personality disorder (BPD). <br />
<br />
Alternatively, you may choose to conceal your feeling of inferiority and your shame. Instead of developing skills to overcome your shortcomings, you become proficient in hiding them.  You wear a mask. Your preoccupation becomes how to polish your image and how to keep up appearances.  Your world becomes a world of pretense. You become a sleek actor, a magician, a chameleon. <br />
<br />
Since you have not developed your own sense of self, you mirror that of others. You become a blank slate upon which others project them selves. Since we all love ourselves, we like those who mirror us, and since you have mastered the art of mirroring everybody, you receive everybody’s love. This is the narcissist’s way of dealing with his feeling of inferiority. <br />
  <br />
However, deep down inside, you know that you are a failure, an unaccomplished flop, a fraud, unworthy of love and undeserving of the attention that you are getting. You know that you cannot accomplish anything in life because you do not have the skills and your treatment of issues is often partial and incomplete. You get bored, frustrated, and move from one thing to another without accomplishing anything. <br />
<br />
But, you have excelled in the art of deception. You wear a mask that makes you look appealing, attractive, desirable,  enthralling, fascinating, graceful, seductive, tantalizing, even tempting. You know that once people see through your mask and find out who you really are, you are finished. So you carefully wear your mask at all times and jealously guard it. Despite your ineptitude, you get along in life and do well by deceiving and by cheating. <br />
<br />
You become so good in deceiving others that you eventually come to believe in your own deception. Once you see people fall for your lies, you become convinced of them yourself.  “How can all these people be wrong?” you wonder, &quot;If they believe me, then I must be right.&quot; Your grasp of reality is tenuous. You can't tell the difference between fact and fiction. You come to believe that you must be a gift from heaven, a superior being, with innate grandeur that was waiting to be discovered. You are the One that everyone is waiting for. <br />
<br />
Once convinced of your own superiority, you expect everyone to acknowledge it too and if they don’t, you get really angry. “How can these miserable crawling ants not see what everybody else sees? There must be something wrong with them. They must be envious of me. There must be some disease in their hearts that prevents them from seeing my greatness. They are dumb, deaf and blind. They are garbage, unworthy people who don't deserve to live.”  Thus the narcissist turns his anger on his detractors and comes down on them with his full rage. BPD sufferers direct their anger and destructiveness towards themselves. Narcissists direct them towards others. <br />
<br />
As a narcissist you don’t love yourself. You don’t have a sense of self. How can you love something that does not exist?   Because you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You treat people like a commodity. You use them as long as they serve your egotistic needs, and discard them when they no longer do.  <br />
<br />
You are a disaster as a mate, unless you find another narcissist - an inverted narcissist, a co-dependent, who is equally devoid of sense of self, just as needy as you and as hungry for recognition and power. She sees herself as your extension and seeks her greatness in yours. Then you two form a symbiotic relationship that benefits both of you, not based on love, but on need. Together you create a shared psychosis, a folie à deux. Yours is a sick co-dependent relationship, but it works to perfection. When we have this combination, the result can be catastrophic, particularly for others who may become infected by the couple's folly. Behind every successful narcissist there is a co-dependent. The folly then spreads like an epidemy and becomes mass psychosis. The best example is the relationship of Khadijah and Muhammad. <br />
<br />
When you do not have a sense of self and are unable to love yourself and others, you also don't have empathy and lack conscience. You will lie, cheat, abuse, and commit all sorts of crimes with no remorse. You will do anything, as long as you can get away with it and your image is not blemished. <br />
<br />
The truth is that narcissists are extremely dangerous. The Bible personifies them in Satan. They are charming, charismatic, persuasive, attractive, lovable and believable, but that is a mask that they wear. Beneath that mask, there is a haughty, presumptuous, cunning, deceiving, abusive, cold-hearted, insensitive and ruthless monster. You see the lovely mask and you cannot believe what is beneath it. <br />
<br />
Does Obama fit the profile of a narcissist? Let us see how Obama fairs. <br />
<br />
NPD sufferers fabricate lies, are secretive, and are megalomaniac.<br />
<br />
Obama lied when he said he was never a Muslim. He lied about his 20-year association with his pastor, the racist anti-Semite, anti-American Jeremiah Wright, who claims whites invented AIDS to kill blacks. He lied about his 15-year friendship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, when the truth is that he launched his presidential campaign in Ayers' home. Obama lied about his shady business transaction with the criminal Tony Rezko. He lied about his ties with Khalid Abdullah Tariq Almansour, the Muslim black supremacist who accuses America of committing genocide against blacks. Obama lied about not knowing that his Auntie Zeituni was living illegally in America and had contributed to his campaign. He lied about his uncle liberating Auschwitz. He lied to Ohioans about wanting to scrap NAFTA, telling the Canadians that it was just campaign rhetoric. He lied when he ran for the president of the United States while constitutionally unqualified to do so by virtue of his dual citizenship(s), when in fact he may not even be a 'natural born' American. Obama claimed that he writes his own speeches. The truth is that he has a team of speechwriters, (see also this). He always uses notes and teleprompters, stutters and stumbles through most extemporaneous speechifying, often getting himself into trouble. Obama lies about everything. <br />
<br />
<br />
Obama told many outright lies about rival John McCain during the presidential campaign, also claiming that he had a greater percentage of small donors than previous candidates, but that too has been proven false. And Obama is constantly shape-shifting his positions and commitments, e.g. refused public financing after committing to take it. He disabled the fraud prevention security features of credit card campaign donations (the supposedly non-partisan FEC has refused to investigate Obama’s campaign donation:).<br />
<br />
Most importantly, Obama  lied when he ran for the president of the United States while constitutionally unqualified to do so by virtue of his dual citizenship(s). He has refused to prove that he is a 'natural born' American. <br />
<br />
Another trait of narcissists is that they are secretive and have a lot of skeletons in their closet. Obama hides his college records, his thesis paper, his Selective Service Registration, his medical records, his Illinois State Senate schedule, his law practice client list, (he did not have any clients), his embossed Certification of Live Birth, his Harvard Law Review articles (he has not written any), his University of Chicago scholarly articles (there are none), his record of baptism, his Certified Copy of original Birth certificate, his Illinois State Senate records, his medical records and so on and so forth. Every detail of this man’s life is a secret. Therefore he lies when he says his presidency will be transparent. <br />
<br />
<br />
All these, combined with his megalomaniac assertions, such as “We are the ones we were waiting for.” and his grandiose claims of wanting to change the world, despite his nugatory life achievements, suggest that Mr. Obama suffers from severe NPD.  <br />
<br />
Although most people have no knowledge of pathological narcissism and often confuse it with excessive self-love, narcissistic personality disorder is a well-defined science and narcissists are quite predictable.   <br />
<br />
For example, Hitler was a pathological narcissist. <br />
<br />
James Laxer writes: <br />
In our collective memory, we have created a space, or an abyss, for Hitler and the Nazis that removes them from historical analysis. Hitler, the Third Reich and the Holocaust have become absolutes, synonymous with the extreme negation of all that is human. <br />
<br />
It is regarded as outrageous, even unforgivable, to compare any contemporary political movement, party, or political leadership to the Nazis and Hitler. One runs the risk of being accused of monstrous exaggeration on the one hand or of cheapening the memory of the Holocaust and the full range of Nazi evil on the other. <br />
<br />
As a consequence of this way of thinking, we fall prey to failing to pay attention to what gave rise to Hitler and the Nazis, and so are less able to recognize those forces in the contemporary world that contain within them the potential for extremes of inhumanity.<br />
<br />
Seventy-five years after Hitler’s rise to power, we should not imagine that in our time extreme inhumanity will come bearing the Swastika. <br />
<br />
Instead, those who would negate humanity or very large parts of it, will come dressed in the garb of the 21st century. <br />
<br />
There are many similarities between Obama’s rise to power and Hitler’s. Both lied and used aggressive propaganda. Both appealed to the working class and the poor while they were financially backed by the wealthy. Both came to power in the midst of economic crisis, depression and general discontent. Both gave promises of drastic change. The list of similarities is long. The same can be said about Khomeini and other revolutionary narcissistic leaders who came to power through demagogy and with the acclaim of the masses.   <br />
<br />
People supported Hitler because he told them what they wanted to hear.  If today Hitler came to America, his message would be different.  He would not speak against the Jews because that would not be accepted. On the contrary, he would hide his hatred of the Jews, would go to Israel, would meet with Jewish businessmen, would cast himself as a defender of the Jewish state. <br />
<br />
Hitler made the Germans believe that the Weimar Republic had no idea how to solve the problems of the Depression, while he had all the solutions. Germans felt humiliated for signing the treaty of Versailles, for being forced to admit that they had started the war, and for having to pay reparations. Hitler promised to make them proud again. He pledged something to everyone. <br />
<br />
This is what narcissists do best. They give vacuous promises, paint their own bogus world in all the colors of the rainbow and hype their audiences with false hopes. If you are an Arab living in a desert and all you can think about is sex and gluttony, they will promise you a paradise of orgy and debauchery with rivers of milk, honey, water and wine. If you are a proud German, defeated and humiliated, they will promise you mastery over all the other races. If you are an American, have everything, are bored with opulence and do not know what you want, they promise you change without telling you about the nature of that change. As long as it is change, you don’t care one way or another.  To Iranians, Khomeini promised democracy. That is what they actually wanted.   What a rude awakening they had! I wonder whether other species are as stupid as we humans are? Animals don’t seem to be so enthusiastic about their own self-destruction.  <br />
<br />
Obama has described himself as “a blank screen, on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.” Sometimes all we have to do is to listen and the truth comes out. This is the most telling revelation that he is a narcissist.  You can’t describe narcissism in better words. <br />
<br />
Obama portrayed America as a country falling apart, so bad that no one would want to come to it. He promised that he would change that. Looks like his Auntie Zeituni did not hear about this.  She left her “luxurious” mud hut in Kenya and is living illegally in subsidized public housing in America though her application seeking asylum was rejected four years ago. Of course Barack and Michelle would have told her that America is a crappy country which they have never been proud of, but they did not know that she was here! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There was no dearth of gullible souls to gobble up all this mindless drivel.  Millions of people went to his rallies and were dazzled by his speeches, but Obama's measly life achievements are proof of what he wrote in his autobiography: “My treatment of the issues is often partial and incomplete.”  Sometimes narcissists do tell the truth. They are persuasive talkers, good charlatans; that does not mean they can run a country!  <br />
<br />
To understand what changes Obama will bring, we have to study the rise to power of other demagogic narcissists like Hitler, Mussolini, Khomeini, Mao and Castro.<br />
<br />
Obama will bring sweeping changes to America. He will be a populist president. During the first years most of his changes will be welcomed by the majority of people and his popularity will grow. That is what all revolutionary leaders have done. Hitler set up soup kitchens for the dispossessed and he created lots of jobs for the unemployed (mostly in the army and in the arms industry). This brought Germany out of recession.  Khomeini did the same. He sent food to the houses of the needy people and distributed food coupons in the mosques. Castro made health care and education free for all Cubans.  All revolutionary leaders do things to endear themselves with the people and thus strengthen their grip on power. This allows them to discredit their opponents and get rid of them as traitors and 'enemies of the people.' <br />
<br />
Obama will likely start universal health care. The majority of Americans will like this and frankly it is overdue. <br />
<br />
 He will restrict the sale of guns, which will be also welcomed by a great many people. <br />
<br />
Then he will start with his Marxist agenda that he has been indoctrinated with all his life and will pass laws to redistribute the wealth. This will change the face of America forever. It will make lazy people and millions of illegal immigrants very happy. They will become his base and will defend him with all their might.  His popularity will skyrocket.</div>

<br />
These radical changes will also anger the conservatives.  The modern day Robin Hood will then start hammering on these disgruntled people who &quot;bitterly cling to their guns and their religion.&quot; Oppression will intensify and so will the opposition against him, one fueling the other in a vicious cycle.  Obama will see his position threatened and, with the consensus of the Senate and the majority of his supporters, he will limit political criticism. America will become a totalitarian country. I am talking about Obama's &quot;Truth Squads.&quot; This was set in motion even before Obama won the election. Totalitarianism will be the way he survives. The great mass of his supporters will back him all the way. In fact, they will volunteer to act as vigilantes and will harass and report anyone who opposes him.  <br />
<br />
What about the Constitution? For America to become a totalitarian country the Constitution must be scraped. That is not possible. Or is it? Nothing is impossible when the majority of people make their minds. In WND's forum, on the subject of Obama's birth certificate, one of his supporters wrote: <br />
<br />
&quot;The Constitution means what we today decide it means. The Constitution exists to serve the people, not the people to serve the Constitution. … The precise nature and meaning of particular Constitutional clauses is to be decided by the people through our elected representatives, and through the judges appointed by the president we elect. That president will be Barack Hussein Obama, for at least the next four years.&quot; <br />
<br />
If those who voted for Obama decide to reinterpret the Constitution or give this man the power to toss it in the fire, who can stop them? Based on my conversation with Obama fans I can say with near certainly that by now most of them already suspect that Obama has won the elections through fraud and that he may not be a natural born American and therefore unqualified to be the president, but they are willing to bend the law and disregard the Constitution for him. This level of mindless devotion to one man can only be seen in cults where devotees are so enthralled with their leader that think he is above the law and the rules should bend to accommodate him. America is at the verge of becoming a dictatorship.<br />
<br />
Dictatorships are created because masses of people fall in love with a charismatic leader and let him do as he pleases. Virtually all totalitarian regimes founded by a charismatic leader have come to power with the support of the majority. That is why Aristotle was suspicious of democracy. He thought the populace is ignorant and ignorant people can be duped. Millions of deaths and the great devastations caused by numerous narcissistic charismatic leaders who came to power with the full support of the masses prove him right.<br />
<br />
A Zogby survey found that just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained near perfect scores on a post-election test which gauged their knowledge of statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign. <br />
<br />
 Once the second amendment is scrapped or amended, it will be the turn of the first amendment. People will be prosecuted for &quot;lying&quot; about our beloved leader. He will be anointed as the savior of America and mankind. His critics and detractors will be berated as racists, a bunch of disgruntled losers, and branded as the enemies of the people. <br />
<br />
His popularity will grow abroad.  Obama wannabes will win elections in other countries and the road for a world socialist government will be paved with Obama as its leader. <br />
<br />
There will be no war against other countries.  Instead, a war will take place in the streets of America against those who oppose the glorious new world order and resist change.  This would not necessarily be a war waged by the government per se. Obama and his propaganda machine will continue beating their unity drum. What they actually mean by 'unity' however, will have clauses that would not be accepted by a free people.  All narcissists are harbingers of 'unity,' but only under their yoke.  Hitler was also for world 'unity', so was Muhammad, Khomeini, and also the Communists. What the narcissist understands by 'unity' is not unity with freedom and diversity, but unity in conformity, in subjugation and in submission.   <br />
<br />
The upcoming war will be waged in the streets of America between Obama supporters and his opponents. The seeds of that disunity have already been sown and they are rapidly germinating. This nation has never been so divided since the Civil War already.<br />
<br />
Catherine Vogt, a 14 year-old Illinois 8th grader, and her teacher decided to conduct an experiment in political tolerance and diversity of opinion in Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School in the liberal suburb of Oak Park, which overwhelmingly supports Obama.<br />
<br />
On the first day of her experiment Catherine wore a T-shirt bearing the words, &quot;McCain Girl.&quot; <br />
 <br />
Immediately, she learned she was stupid. And not just stupid. Very stupid. <br />
<br />
&quot;People were upset. They started saying mean things, calling me very stupid, telling me my shirt was stupid and I shouldn't be wearing it,&quot; Catherine said. <br />
<br />
Then it got worse.<br />
<br />
&quot;One person told me to go die. It was a lot of dying. A lot of comments about how I should be killed,&quot;  <br />
<br />
Even one teacher indignantly expressed her “surprise” over Catherine’s McCain shirt.<br />
<br />
One student suggested that she be put up on a cross for her political beliefs. Someone else shouted, &quot;Burn her with her shirt on for being a filthy-rich Republican.&quot; Some said that because she supported McCain, by extension she supported a plan by deranged skinheads to kill Obama before the election.<br />
<br />
 One girl pulled her aside in a corner, out of earshot of other students, and whispered, &quot;I really like your shirt.&quot;<br />
<br />
The next day, in part two of the experiment, the brave Catherine wore a T-shirt with &quot;Obama Girl&quot; written on it.  She was amazed to see how the same people, who had harassed and assaulted her the day before, smiled at her and congratulated her for finding her brain.          <br />
<br />
It is truly a sad day that in a country founded on the ideal of freedom, a young citizen should dare to express her political views only in a whisper and people be pestered, insulted and threatened for expressing an opinion that is not shared by the majority.   <br />
<br />
How did we get here?  How did we stoop so low, and so fast?  <br />
<br />
Make no mistake. This is only the beginning. A narcissistic leader is a devious master of lies, deception and manipulation.  We humans are animals beneath our skin. Our rational brain is only thousands of years old, while our emotions go deep millions of years and lie at the root of the evolutionary tree.  The narcissist leader knows how to play with human's primitive emotions. He arouses our passions. On that level we are no longer human, but animal. We don’t act rationally, but react emotionally. <br />
<br />
Who can forget the ludicrous scenes of mass psychosis that Obama and his wife created when they made hysterical people repeatedly shout &quot;YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN!&quot; The truth is, that the only thing narcissists do well is to lie and to bamboozle. It is amazing how a couple of charlatans can manipulate masses of people and make them act like silly children. (Both Michelle and Barack are narcissists, see Understanding Obama: The making of a Fuehrer.) <br />
<br />
<br />
The Germans were not necessarily more evil than other people.  But once Hitler reached their inner core through the power of his oratory and tapped into their raw emotions, he aroused their primitive instincts to the extent that they were reduced to beasts. Hitler elevated their hopes to such a point that they believed all his lies.  They wanted to believe. His lies were so sweet that they shunned the truth.  He brought them into a trance from which they did not want to come out.  We see this sort of irrational devotion to lies in the followers of all cults, whether religious or political, and even in multi-level marketing schemes where people are hyped with bogus promieses. <br />
<br />
The narcissist baits his victims by telling them big lies, promising them the moon, making them dream, and giving them hope. Their promised land is so beautiful that you don’t want to wake up and realize it is a lie. <br />
<br />
The narcissist has an x-ray vision. He sees through people's emotional shields and intuitively grasps their goals, ambitions and self-interest and accurately predicts the strategy and tactics they will adopt in order to achieve them. (Sam Vaknin)<br />
<br />
The narcissist reads your mind and becomes a blank screen on which you can project your hopes and dreams.  Once you come to realize that what you see is only a two-dimensional projection of your own desires, with no depth and no reality, an echo of your own wishful hopes, a mirage from the barren soul of the narcissist, it will be too late.  You don’t know it is bait until you bite. Then it is too late.  <br />
<br />
Today it is the turn of the Americans.  Millions of intelligent people have fallen for the big lies of Obama - a narcissist, as clever and as deceiving as those that preceded him and left nothing behind but devastation.  His lies are so sweet that his believers do not want to hear the truth.  He has given them a dream so lovely that they lash out at you, insult you, and even assault you if you try to wake them up.  <br />
<br />
The evidences of Obama’s lies are everywhere, but his worshippers refuse to see them.  They refuse to look at his track record. They ignore his past and his paltry achievements.  They disregard his questionable associations. They take no notice of his intolerance for criticism. They pooh-pooh the fact that he has not yet proven himself a natural born American and therefore eligible as president.  Obama is a nobody. He is a cipher. He has done nothing noteworthy except aligning himself with racists, terrorists and con-men.  He has not written a single scholarly article. As a lawyer he never had any clients. All he has done is to run for political office, seek power and live off public monies, while using his influence to wheel and deal, such as his role in ACORN. There is not a single shiny spot in the life of this man. But none of this matters to his starry-eyed followers.  They live on cloud nine and don’t want to descend.  They are dreaming and don’t want to wake up. <br />
<br />
Obama’s supporters are collectively suffering from a nihilistic mass psychosis. Nihilistic because they deny all reality or the existence of objective truth. They refuse to see the reality of the man with whom they are enthralled. They praise the invisible clothing of their emperor thinking that everyone must see it, believing it is not possible for so many of them to be fooled.  I have discussed Obama with many of his worshippers. Not a single one of them has given a logical argument as to why this man should be president. Very intelligent people resort to all sorts of fallacies to defend the indefensible. They rely on their emotions, which they mistake as intuition. They overlook his lies, his secretiveness, his disturbing past and troubling deceptive behavior. <br />
<br />
One Obama fan showed a smiling picture of him and his family and asked how I could say such things about this man. This intelligent man probably thinks narcissists can be distinguished by their horns, or that maybe they share some features with Dracula. It is this ignorance of the subject that gives the narcissist the edge. The truth is that narcissists are extremely charming. That is their main advantage. If they act grumpy, they can’t seduce. The narcissist’s main preoccupation is to project a lovely image of himself. Since his image is the only thing that matters to him, he hones it to perfection. <br />
<br />
In the end, Obama can’t deliver. <br />
<br />
Pretense cannot offset ineptitude. After being elected by duping the voters with megalomaniac speeches such as, <br />
<br />
&quot;This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; …. This was the moment -- this was the time -- when we came together to remake this great nation... &quot; <br />
<br />
After lifting himself to an iconic figure, capable of healing the planet, ending the hunger, disease and devastation, and bringing the world together in peace and harmony, the Messiah and his advisors now want to temper public expectations. CBS2 reported: <br />
<br />
&quot;President-elect Barack Obama and his inner circle fear that some voters expect him to turn around the economy, wind down the war in Iraq and, perhaps, cure cancer -- all by the Fourth of July.&quot;<br />
<br />
Yep! The elections are over and it is time to tell the gullible votaries to get real, that it was all campaign rhetoric, that we just lied to get elected. Did you really think we could do the things we promised? Now come on, don’t be stupid! <br />
<br />
&quot;This might be a long haul,&quot; said Robert Reich, who was President Bill Clinton's secretary of labor. &quot;2009 is going to be a very hard year. Some economists say we won't be out of this for two years, others are saying it may be three, or four, maybe five years.&quot;<br />
<br />
It is foolhardy to rely on the campaign promises of a narcissist. His words mean nothing to him. He will do and say what suits him at the time and is not bound by a code of ethics. <br />
<br />
Putting a man of such a low caliber in such a high office is proof that we humans are indeed silly creatures. As time passes, many people will wake up and will realize that Obama is an empty suit, a power-hungry racketeer who lied to get elected. <br />
<br />
In an interview with CBS “60 Minutes,” Obama said, “You know, you'll get advice, and you'll get counsel. Ultimately, you're the person who's going to be making decisions.&quot;  <br />
<br />
This is what is most frightening. The little that we know about this man does not give us confidence that he is capable of making the right decisions. The narcissist generally does not value the opinions of others whom he considers inferior. <br />
<br />
A crook will always be a crook. Most of Obama’s associates and friends are crooks. Great men are not make from filth. His shady business dealings with Rezko and ACORN are not the only dark spots on his otherwise secretive resume. After Obama became a state senator, his wife’s salary at the University of Chicago Hospital, a not for-profit organization, was nearly tripled (from $121,910 to $316,062). One must be born yesterday to not see the connection. The narcissist is helpful to those who are helpful to him. If Obama's past in any indication, what assurances do we have that he will not be self-dealing in the future, now that he is master of the universe? Who is going to put a check on him? The Democratic Senate? The purchased judges? The same judges that throw the suits demanding him to prove his nationality out of court? <br />
<br />
A narcissist is extremely audacious. He dares to do things that others never dream of and they aren't suspicious therfore of those that do. The narcissist knows this and takes full advantage of it. Furthermore, he has no conscience. He will calculate his risks and the chances of being caught. He will bank on the credulity of his trusting admirers and the fact that they will never doubt his integrity. His image has been impeccable and he knows that image is everything. Not only his admirers, even his opponents doubt that he would do such things. The only thing that deters a narcissist is the fear of being exposed -- not his conscience, because he has none. All he cares for is to protect his image. <br />
<br />
The discontent will grow and with it, Obama’s narcissistic paranoia. There will be unrest and attempts to assassinate him. He will then pass laws to quash the opposition. He may even stage attacks himself in order to obtain special powers from the Senate. This is what Hitler did. It is believed that Hitler burnt the Reichstag, the Parliament building in Berlin, and blamed the communists. He banned the Communist Party and arrested its 90 MPs. By eliminating the opposition his minority party became the majority.Then he convinced the parliament that he needed more power to deal with the problem and restore order. After that he became Germany’s dictator - and the people welcomed it.  <br />
<br />
Obama’s popularity will grow so much that few will dare to openly oppose him.  Hillary Clinton backtracked from her opposition to the rising Fuehrer after seeing his widespread support and realizing that her antagonism towards him would further marginalize her. <br />
<br />
The majority of the people will support handing the beloved leader powers that are not stipulated in the Constitution.  Songs about Obama will be sung in schools (already are). His portraits will adorn public offices and stores (already are).  Few will dare to speak against him openly (MSM is already monolithic in supporting Obama). Radio and television producers will avoid criticizing him for fear of losing their advertisement business. Google seems to have already started censoring the sites that are against Obama. <br />
<br />
Only 17 days after the elections, a school in Hempstead, Long Island, N.Y. renamed itself Barack Obama Elementary School. The renaming was thanks to the initiative of the school's students who, who are predominately black and Hispanic Think about it. This man has not yet occupied the office and schools are being named after him. Is this not insanity? Can you think of something stupidder? <br />
<br />
 <br />
Notice how the majority of the conservative producers have been silent and have avoided talking about Obama's birth certificate. That's because companies do not patronize shows that criticize Obama because his supporters will boycott their products.  <br />
<br />
I receive countless emails from Obamaists warning me that my opposition to him is bad for my reputation and will come back to haunt me. Too bad for these “well wishers,” that I am not seeking anyone’s approval and do not depend on their patronage. <br />
<br />
Unlike virtually all Obama supporters, I did not base my opinion of him on my gut feeling, but on my understanding of NPD. It was also my understanding of NPD that made me realize Muhammad was a narcissist and not a prophet of God. Ten years ago, when I started writing against Muhammad, mine was one of a few solitary voices in the vast cyberspace. My “well wishers” advised me to stop this folly. They said it was arrogant to think billions of people don’t understand and you alone do.  I told them that facts speak for themselves. It does not matter how many people believe in a lie. It is still a lie. Time has proved that I was right and billions were wrong. Now those Muslims who are learning the truth are leaving Islam in droves. <br />
<br />
If you don’t care to learn the facts about Obama now and prefer to live in your bubble universe of delusion, time will teach you the truth. I am right because facts are on my side, not because I “feel” that I am. Feelings can be deceptive.  I don't know what the future holds for certain. If Obama is strongly opposed, he may not get the chance to do much harm. But, I know that this man is worthless. You could have picked a name out of the phonebook and with high probability you would have found a better president.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The Obama crackdown on the Jewish media may have already begun:<br />
<br />
“Editors and staff working for local Jewish papers that have run articles critical of Obama have been receiving hostile phone calls. While critical phone calls are not unusual when you're working on a newspaper, these phone calls are not from random readers, they are coming from lawyers and sometimes doctors who wield influence in the community and may often be advertisers, &quot;[who unabashedly say the opponents of Obama have no right to have opinions against him.] <br />
<br />
 Lawsuits against Obama will be dismissed. The judicial system will become as corrupt as Obama’s administration and the Democratic Senate. Judges will be either bribed or will be intimidated. The three branches of the government will be reduced to empty shells, filled with yes-men and sycophants.  Obama’s minions will come to believe he is a gift from God, as many of them already do.  His will be, the most corrupt administration in American history. He is the most corrupt man elected to this office. I am not guessing here. I am basing my opinion of him on all the lies I have heard from him. <br />
<br />
Failing to deliver in substance, Obama will intensify the propaganda. Propaganda works. It worked for the Nazis, it worked for the Bolshevists, it worked for Mao, for Castro and for the Iranian regime. It has so far worked for Obama. Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels said; “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” <br />
<br />
Through propaganda, Obama’s popularity will soar.  But ultimately there will be the rude awakening that this man is a fraud and none of his plans have worked. You can’t run a country with hypes alone.  But a narcissist does not admit failure.  Instead, he will spend millions more of your money on propaganda to persuade you that America has become a paradise and his detractors merely liars. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the crackdown on the opposition will increase and they will be blamed for spreading false rumors and poisoning people's minds.  The opposition will retreat to the anonymous blogosphere, using servers stationed outside the U.S. and in a few countries where they maybe safe. The discontent will keep growing.  <br />
<br />
In the mythology of Narcissus, this vain boy disdainfully rejects the love of Echo, but falls in love with his own image reflected on the calm water of a spring.  He sits by the spring admiring his own reflection. Eventually he grows thirsty, and as he bends down to drink and his lips touch the water, his image is shattered. To protect that image he remains thirsty until he dies.  The narcissus flower grew where he died.<br />
<br />
The narcissist is a psycho bereft of feelings and incapable of truly loving others. He is enthralled with his own reflection.  He is protective of it and will not allow his image to be shattered, defiled or destroyed. As such, he is intolerant of those who would make ripples in the water. He cannot accept criticism. He will fiercely defend his precious and precarious image by attacking his critics, demonizing them, eliminating them.  <br />
<br />
<br />
Likewise Obama’s Truth Squads will expand to all spheres.  On November 13, 2008 Durham Police reported that they were on the hunt for someone who had written “derogatory remarks towards the President-elect,” over the Internet.  Can you envision this ever happening in America? Has anyone ever been arrested for making derogatory remarks against the “evil” Bush?  <br />
<br />
Obama’s Truth Squads will evolve into his Gestapo. It will comprise FBI staff, sheriffs, prosecutors and corrupt judges.  The secret police will monitor everyone’s words and movement.  The Obama youths, consisting mostly of blacks, Latinos and other minorities, will take to the streets to ensure that the beloved leader is not maligned.  For the narcissist, image is everything.  If you destroy his image, you have destroyed both the man and his cult. The narcissist and his worshippers will do everything in their power to protect that image.  Remember how Muslims reacted when the image of their prophet was derided? Compare that to the angry reaction of Obamaists when you criticize their beloved leader. <br />
<br />
The propaganda machine will brainwash some to the extent that they believe white is black and vice versa. This is what the Obama camp did during the elections.  Aided by the media, people were kept in total darkness about this man’s past and his plans for the future. <br />
<br />
There will also be an army of cyber thugs to spread misinformation, confuse the public, muddy the waters, and drown any voice of dissent.  This army is already in place and has been active since Obama started running for president. <br />
<br />
This situation cannot last forever. Obama worshippers will continue hailing him as their god and his detractors will see him as the devil. Passions will soar and anger will overcome patience.  The far right elements that are marginalized today will receive unprecedented support. <br />
<br />
<br />
Do you recall that KKK supported Obama, saying that &quot;anything is better than Hillary. Vote Obama? &quot; <br />
<br />
But don't count on that love to last long. KKK endorsed Obama for the same reason that Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Cuban communists, black supremacists, Bill Ayers, and other American haters endorsed him. They all want America's demise. Obama is the man that in their estimation will make that dream come true. It is here that you can grasp what Obama meant when he wrote; &quot;I am a blank screen, on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”<br />
<br />
When you read my articles you can never be confused as what I say because I say it loud and clear, without mincing my words. I state my opinion (backed by facts) even if it makes me more enemies than friends. Can the same be said about Barack Obama? Does anyone know where this man stands on anything?  He tells you something and turns around and tells the opposite to someone else. His words change as do his audience. This is what narcissists do best. They have done this since childhood. They have mastered the art of deception. This is a clear sign of narcissism. <br />
<br />
However, once Obama is in power, each group will go its own way and the struggle between them will begin. The love born out of the hatred of a common foe is never lasting. Obama's associates and friends were all black supremacists. He never identified himself with his white side, no more than Hitler, a grandson of a Jew, identified himself with Jews. Both these men harbored resentment towards one side of their own roots, which they thought had not accepted them unconditionally. The pain of rejection, felt in childhood is too intense to overcome. <br />
<br />
Obama speaks of this feeling of not being loved in his autobiography My Father's Dream. &quot;Ann’s mother, who went by the nickname Tut, did not want a black son-in-law, and Obama Snr’s father ‘didn’t want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman’.: <br />
<br />
With a black president, harboring a hidden resentment towards whites, the KKK will find its raison d'être and will be back with a vengeance. Obama youth brigades will be confronted by equally vicious and determined white supremacists. Blood will run in the streets. Racial tension will grow to levels never before seen.<br />
<br />
With America in crisis, Obama will seek the support of Muslims. Muslims backed Obama's cousin, Odinga, the dictator of Kenya, and they were behind his own candidacy. Obama has not disclosed the sources of his 3/4 of billion dollar campaign fund. No one can find out how much of that money came from Islamic countries. That is part of Obama's secrecy. There must be a reason for him to keep that a secret. A weakened and beleaguered America will then become an easy prey to the &quot;Religion of Peace,&quot; which will promise order, the end of chaos, and bring morality to the tired masses under the banner of Islam. The same people that were duped into voting for Obama, will be duped to embrace Islam. Propaganda works. Millions of dollars will be spent on da'wa, Islamic propaganda, while the voices of opposition to Islam and to Obama will be silenced. Freedom fighters like this author will be found, jailed or assassinated. People in authority with access to sensitive information about citizens will identify the enemies of the leader and will report them. An example is Helen Jones-Kelley, the director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. She used state computers to search for information on &quot;Joe the Plumber.&quot; Likewise. the detractors of the new order will simply vanish in thin air. <br />
<br />
Under Obama's watch Islam will rapidly spread in America. New mosques will be built, more Muslims will be let into the country and the legality of Sharia law will be recognized. Islam will be declared a protected religion, and its criticism outlawed. Obama knows who his real supporters are. America will collapse. The objective of the Muslim Brotherhood to destroy America from within will be fulfilled. <br />
<br />
 No, this is not just fiction. This is all in the realm of possibility.  How much of this will actually happen? It depends on how much is allowed to happen.  There is no limit to a narcissist’s insanity. Narcissists are like a racing car with no brakes.  It is the society that must stop them. The only people who could stop Hitler were the Germans. If a society is enthralled by a narcissist’s charm and charisma and hoodwinked by his bogus promises of Nirvana, then his insanity will be bequeathed to his followers and it can grow exponentially.  <br />
<br />
Like the Nazis, the Obama camp relies heavily on propaganda, misinformation, and the suppression of truth.  They spent ¾ of billion dollars on propaganda to dupe the voters. And the media lied. They portrayed a wolf as a shepherd. Some were bought, but most simply lied because of ideology. People swallowed all their lies uncritically. It became vogue to make fun of Governor Palin when in reality the only joker in this race was the media's naked emperor. Is the fact that Palin has not travelled the world funnier than the fact that Obama travelled to all the 57 states of America? By the way, there are 57 Islamic states, in case you wondered where that number came from. <br />
<br />
The above are nine of the world's most famous narcissists (Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Joseph Kony, Mao Ze Dong, Barak Hussein Obama, David Koresh, Adoph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Saddam Hussein.) All these men were adored by those who fell under their spell and believed in them. Obama is still an incognito. The rest were demented. Their power came from their believers. The devastation was caused by their believers. Their dark souls were hidden behind their charismatic masks. They raised hopes, but brought death. The one in the center has the potential to cause more harm than all of them combined, because he would be the most powerful man on Earth with access to the deadliest weapons ever invented and because the number of people who believe in him exceed the votaries of the rest. Today, Obama is the most popular man on the planet. His followers lie, cheat and break the law for him. Good people will do evil things under the spell of narcissists with clear conscience. That is the surreal power that narcissists have - the power to deceive. <br />
<br />
Not all is lost. <br />
<br />
Obama has not yet shown his real birth certificate.  He may not be a natural born American.  He admits he was Kenyan until he was 21. Almost certainly he was/is Indonesian. The American Constitution disqualifies a person with dual citizenship from becoming president. Maybe God is watching over America! <br />
<br />
It is now time to apply the law and uphold the Constitution. Let not an alien deride you and step on your Constitution. That document is sacred. It is what made America what it is. Obama lied about America falling apart. America is still number one. Don't let this man destroy it. <br />
<br />
“How can anyone have the audacity to run for president without being an American?” you ask.  That is a fair question. But remember that Obama is not an ordinary man. In all likelihood he is a narcissist and will do things that others don’t dream of doing. Narcissists have no grasp of reality and of their own limitations. They lie audaciously. They can say lies so big that most people think no one would dare say them and therefore they must be true. They are like drunkards who audaciously take risks that sober people won't. They do not have a grasp of reality. Their thinking is impaired. Hitler audaciously invaded several countries all at the same time -- something no sane person would have done.  His gamble might have paid off if it weren’t for another insane man in Soviet Union (Stalin) who resisted him with dogged determination. In Iraq, Saddam, audaciously defied the might of the American coalition forces. He rejected the offer of asylum made to him by Russia. Narcissists are insanely audacious. Sometimes their gambles pay off, sometimes they don’t. <br />
<br />
Only a narcissist can have the nerve to bamboozle an entire country with sheer lies. By doing so, Obama had nothing to lose and everything to gain. As of now, there are 17 lawsuits filed against him demanding that he prove he is a natural born American. Obama's people have called these suits &quot;garbage.&quot; The narcissist divides the world in two camps. Those who are his minions and therefore the best people, and the others who are &quot;garbage.&quot; Obama petitioned court to not produce his birth certificate until after the elections. <br />
<br />
Obama is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and is hiring an army of lawyers, (including the lawyers of the pro-terrorist Islamic group CAIR) to fight these lawsuits. But he is not showing his birth certificate. You figure why! <br />
<br />
There is reason to believe that Judge Barkley Surrick, who dismissed the case brought by Attorney Phillip Berg to verify Barack Obama’s eligibility for presidency, might have been instructed on how to rule on the case.<br />
<br />
It seems that Obama is adamant in not showing his birth certificate. Maybe he is hoping to bribe/bully every judge so they throw all these cases out of court? And for the same reasons that the Republican Colin Powell sided with Obama, the Republican governor of Hawaii has fought tooth and nail the release of Obama’s vault copy birth certificate. Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.<br />
<br />
Why? What is there on his certificate that Obama does not want you to see? <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Kenyan police have banned Obama’s grandmother from giving interviews.  There is fear that a slip of a tongue may occur that may reveal the identity and birthplace of her grandson.  Earlier she told a reporter that Barack Obama was born in her village.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Obama’s Hawaiian grandmother died. We can no longer hear the truth from her. But the truth is out there. It is in Obama's original birth certificate, which is registered in Hawaii. Does it say that he was born in Hawaii or is Kenya specified as his birthplace? <br />
<br />
This is America’s last chance. Don’t remain silent. Demand that Obama abide by the Constitution and prove his legitimacy. If the man is capable of defrauding an entire country about so many things, what else he is capable of?  You don’t want this man in the White House. Obama has come this far by lying. It’s time to stop him. <br />
<br />
Those who claim he is a good man should demand that he show his real birth certificate and end this brawl. It is pointless to attack those who want to know the truth.  This is not the way to heal the nation. This is a sure way to divide it.  <br />
<br />
If there had been enough opposition to Hitler, he could not have become a dictator and millions of lives would have not been lost. It would be a grave mistake to be united under a psychopathic narcissist who has usurped the presidency through fraud and demagogy. Don’t let history repeat itself. Don’t think it can’t happen again or can't happen here.  The rise of Obama and the rise of Hitler have many similarities, and the end result may not be so different. <br />
<br />
Obama accused Bush of failing to respect the Constitution, &quot;I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution,&quot; he said. Article II of the U.S. constitution is crystal clear. The Commander-in-chief must be ‘natural born’ and without  past or present foreign allegiances. If it’s discovered that Obama is not eligible, he will  not be a legitimate President. His victory in election, based on fraud will be invalid. America would be in crisis because technically none of the treaties or legislative bills signed by Obama would be binding. They will be challenged  if  he is exposed. The mere threat of exposure makes Obama vulnerable. There are reports that Raila Odinga’s bloody genocidal government (Kenya) traded favors with Obama in exchange for protecting  Obama’s Kenyan ‘documents’ (a birth certificate, or Kenyan passport? What else could there be, since Obama has never lived in Kenya?)   <br />
<br />
 Barack Obama campaigned for his cousin Raila Odinga, the dictator of Kenya who lost the election but came to power through thuggery resulting in the death of 1,000 Kikuyu tribesman, displacement of another 350,000 Kikuyu tribesmen and the destruction of 800 churches. No mosque was harmed. Peace was restored with Obama's intervention that made Odinga Prime minister. <br />
We are in the midst of a developing crisis.  Obama can easily end this crisis. All he has to do is to show his real birth certificate. His reticence proves that he does not care about the country. All he cares about is power.  This is another sign that he is a narcissist. This is not the man you want as commander-in-chief.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The entire political spectrum ranging from the ‘libertarian’ left, through the progressive editors of the Nation to the entire far right neo-con/Zionist war party and free market Berkeley/Chicago/Harvard academics, with a single voice, hailed the election of Barack Obama as a ‘historic moment’, a ‘turning point in American history and other such histrionics. For reasons completely foreign to the emotional ejaculations of his boosters, it is a historic moment: witness the abysmal gap between his ‘populist’ campaign demagoguery and his long-standing and deepening carnal relations with the most retrograde political figures, power brokers and billionaire real estate and financial backers. <br />
<br />
What was evident from even a cursory analysis of his key campaign advisers and public commitments to Wall Street speculators, civilian militarists, zealous Zionists and corporate lawyers was hidden from the electorate, by Obama’s people friendly imagery and smooth, eloquent deliverance of a message of ‘hope’. He effectively gained the confidence, dollars and votes of tens of millions of voters by promising ‘change’ (implying higher taxes for the rich, ending the Iraq war and national health care reform) when in fact his campaign advisers (and subsequent strategic appointments) pointed to a continuation of the economic and military policies of the Bush Administration. <br />
<br />
Within 3 weeks of his election he appointed all the political dregs who brought on the unending wars of the past two decades, the economic policy makers responsible for the financial crash and the deepening recession castigating tens of millions of Americans today and for the foreseeable future. We can affirm that the election of Obama does indeed mark a historic moment in American history: The victory of the greatest con man and his accomplices and backers in recent history. <br />
<br />
He spoke to the workers and worked for their financial overlords. <br />
<br />
He flashed his color to minorities while obliterating any mention of their socio-economic grievances. <br />
<br />
He promised peace in the Middle East to the majority of young Americans and slavishly swears undying allegiance to the War Party of American Zionists serving a foreign colonial power (Israel). <br />
<br />
Obama, on a bigger stage, is the perfect incarnation of Melville’s Confidence Man. He catches your eye while he picks your pocket. He gives thanks as he packs you off to fight wars in the Middle East on behalf of a foreign country. He solemnly mouths vacuous pieties while he empties your Social Security funds to bail out the arch financiers who swindled your pension investments. He appoints and praises the architects of collapsed pyramid schemes to high office while promising you that better days are ahead. <br />
<br />
Yes, indeed, “our greatest intellectual critics”, our ‘libertarian’ leftists and academic anarchists, used their 5-figure speaking engagements as platforms to promote the con man’s candidacy: They described the con man’s political pitch as “meeting the deeply felt needs of our people”. They praised the con man when he spoke of ‘change’ and ‘turning the country around’ 180 degrees. Indeed, Obama went one step further: he turned 360 degrees, bringing us back to the policies and policy makers who were the architects of our current political-economic disaster. <br />
<br />
The Con Man’s Self-Opiated Progressive Camp Followers <br />
<br />
The contrast between Obama’s campaign rhetoric and his political activities was clear, public and evident to any but the mesmerized masses and the self-opiated ‘progressives’ who concocted arguments in his favor. Indeed even after Obama’s election and after he appointed every Clintonite-Wall Street shill into all the top economic policy positions, and Clinton’s and Bush’s architects of prolonged imperial wars (Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates), the ‘progressive true believers’ found reasons to dog along with the charade. Many progressives argued that Obama’s appointments of war mongers and swindlers was a ‘ploy’ to gain time now in order to move ‘left’ later. <br />
<br />
Never ones to publicly admit their ‘historic’ errors, the same progressives turned to writing ‘open letters to the President’ pleading the ‘cause of the people’. Their epistles, of course, may succeed in passing through the shredder in the Office of the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. <br />
<br />
The conjurer who spoke of ‘change’ now speaks of ‘experience’ in appointing to every key and minor position the same political hacks who rotate seamlessly between Wall Street and Washington, the Fed and Academia. Instead of ‘change’ there is the utmost continuity of policy makers, policies and above all ever deepening ties between militarists, Wall Street and the Obama appointments. True believer-progressives, facing their total debacle, grab for any straw. Forced to admit that all of Obama’s appointments represent the dregs of the bloody and corrupt past, they hope and pray that ‘current dire circumstances’ may force these unrepentant warmongers and life long supporters of finance capital to become supporters and advocates of a revived Keynesian welfare state. On the contrary, Obama and each and everyone of his foreign policy appointments to the Pentagon, State and Justice Departments, Intelligence and Security agencies are calling for vast increases in military spending, troop commitments and domestic militarization to recover the lost fortunes of a declining empire. Obama and his appointees plan to vigorously pursue Clinton-Bush’s global war against national resistance movements in the Middle East. His most intimate and trusted ‘Israel-First’ advisers have targeted Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Palestine and Iraq. <br />
<br />
Obama’s Economic Con Game <br />
<br />
Then there is the contrast between the trillions Obama will shower on the financial swindlers (and any other ‘too big to fail’ private capitalist enterprise) and his zero compensation for the 100 million heads of families swindled of $5 trillion dollars in savings and pensions by his cohort appointees and bailout beneficiaries. Not a cent is allocated for the long term unemployed. Not a single household threatened with eviction will be bailed out. <br />
<br />
Obama is the trademark name of a network of confidence people. They are a well-organized gang of prominent political operative, money raisers, mass media hustlers, real estate moguls and academic pimps. They are joined and abetted by the elected officials and hacks of the Democratic Party. Like the virtuoso performer, Obama projected the image and followed the script. But the funding and the entire ‘populist’ show was constructed by the hard-nosed, hard-line free marketeers, Jewish and Gentile ‘Israel Firsters’, Washington war mongers and a host of multi-millionaire ‘trade union’ bureaucrats. <br />
<br />
The electoral scam served several purposes above and beyond merely propelling a dozen strategic con artists into high office and the White House. First and foremost, the Obama con-gang deflected the rage and anger of tens of millions of economically skewered and war drained Americans from turning their hostility against a discredited presidency, congress and the grotesque one-party two factions political system and into direct action or at least toward a new political movement. <br />
<br />
Secondly the Obama image provided a temporary cover for the return and continuity of all that was so detested by the American people – the arrogant untouchable swindlers, growing unemployment and economic uncertainty, the loss of life savings and homes and the endless, ever-expanding imperial wars. <br />
<br />
Featuring Paul Volker, ‘Larry’ Summers, Robert Gates, the Clintons, Geithner, Holder and General (‘You drink your kool-aid while I sit on Boeings’ Board of Directors’) Jim Jones USMC, Obama treats us to a re-run of military surges and war crimes, Wall Street banditry, Abu Ghraib, AIPAC hustlers and all the sundry old crap. Our Harvard-minted Gunga Din purports to speak for all the colonial subjects but acts in the interest of the empire, its financial vampires, its war criminals and its Middle East leaches from the Land of the Chosen. <br />
<br />
The Two Faces of Obama <br />
<br />
Like the Janus face found on the coins of the early Roman Republic, Obama and his intimate cronies cynically joked about ‘which is the real face of Barack’, conscious of the con-job they were perpetrating during the campaign. In reality, there is only one face - a very committed, very consequential and very up front Obama, who demonstrated in every single one of his appointments the face of an empire builder. <br />
<br />
Obama is an open militarist, intent by every means possible to re-construct a tattered US empire. The President-Elect is an unabashed Wall Street Firster – one who has placed the recuperation of the biggest banks and investment houses as his highest priority. Obama’s nominees for all the top economic positions (Treasury, Chief White House economic advisers) are eminently qualified, (with long-term service to the financial oligarchy), to pursue Obama’s pro-Wall Street agenda. There is not a single member of his economic team, down to the lowest level of appointees, who represents or has defended the interests of the wage or salaried classes (or for that matter the large and small manufacturers from the devastated ‘productive’ industrial economy). <br />
<br />
The Obama propagandists claim his appointments reflect his preference for ‘experience’ – which is true: his team members have plenty of ‘experience’ through their long and lucrative careers maximizing profits, buyouts and speculation favoring the financial sector. Obama does not want to have any young, untested appointees who have no long established records of serving Big Finance, whose interests are too central to Obama’s deepest and most strongly held core beliefs. He wanted reliable economic functionaries who recognize that re-financing billionaire financiers is the central task of his regime. The appointments of the Summers, Rubins, Geithners and Volkers fit perfectly with his ideology: They are the best choices to pursue his economic goals. <br />
<br />
Critics of these nominations write of the ‘failures’ of these economists and their role in ‘bringing about the collapse of the financial system’. These critics fail to recognize that it is not their ‘failures’, which are the relevant criteria, but their unwavering commitment to the interests of Wall Street and their willingness to demand trillions of dollars more from US taxpayers to bolster their colleagues on Wall Street. <br />
<br />
Under Clinton and Bush, in the run up to the financial collapse, they facilitated (‘deregulated’) the practice of swindling one hundred million Americans of trillions in private savings and pension funds. In the current crisis period with Obama they are just the right people to swindle the US Treasury of trillions of dollars in bailout funds to refinance their fellow oligarchs. The White President (Bush) leaves steaming financial turds all over the White House rugs and Wall Street summons the ‘historic’ Negro President Obama to organize the cleanup crew to scoop them out of public view. <br />
<br />
Obama, the Militarist, Outdoes His Predecessor <br />
<br />
What makes Obama a much more audacious militarist and Wall Streeter than Bush is that he intends to pursue military policies, which have already greatly harmed the US people with appointed officials who have already been discredited in the context of failed imperial wars and with a domestic economy in collapse. While Bush launched his wars after the US public had their accustomed peace shattered by an orchestrated fear-mongering after 9/11, Obama intends to launch his escalation of military spending in the context of a generalized public disenchantment with the ongoing wars, with monumental fiscal deficits, bloated military budgets and after 100,000 US soldiers have been killed, wounded or psychologically destroyed. <br />
<br />
Obama’s appointments of Clinton, General Jim Jones, dual Israeli citizen Rahm Emanuel and super-Zionist Dennis Ross, among others, fit perfectly with his imperial-militarist agenda of escalating military aggression. His short list of intelligence candidates, likewise, fits perfectly with his all-out effort to “regain US world leadership” (reconstruct US imperial networks). All the media blather about Obama’s efforts at ‘bipartisanship’, ‘experience’ and ‘competence’ obscures the most fundamental questions: The specific nominees chosen from both parties are totally committed to military-driven empire-building. All are in favor of “a new effort to renew America’s standing in the world” (read ‘America’s imperial dominance in the world’), as Obama’s Secretary of State-to-be, Hillary Clinton, declared. General James Jones, Obama’s choice for National Security Advisor, presided over US military operations during the entire Abu Ghraib/Guantanemo period. He was a fervent supporter of the ‘troop surge’ in Iraq and is a powerful advocate for a huge increase in military spending, the expansion of the military by over 100,000 troops and the expanded militarization of American domestic society (not to mention his personal financial ties to the military industrial complex). Robert Gates, continuing as Obama’s Secretary of Defense, is a staunch supporter of unilateral, unlimited and universal imperial warfare. As the number of US-allied countries with troops in Iraq declines from 35 to only 5 by January 1, 2009 and even the Iraqi puppet regime calls for a withdrawal of all US troops by 2012, Gates, the intransigent, insists on a permanent military presence. <br />
<br />
The issue of ‘experience’ revolves around two questions: (a) experience related to what past political practices? (b) experience relevant to pursue what future policies? All the nominees’ past experiences are related to imperial wars, colonial conquests and the construction of client states. Hiliary Clinton’s ‘experience’ was through her support for the bombing of Yugoslavia and the Nato invasion of Kosova, her promotion of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), an internationally recognized terrorist-criminal organization as well as the unrelenting bombings of Iraq in the 1990s, Bush’s criminal invasion of Iraq in 2003, Israel’s murderous bombing of civilian centers in Lebanon…and now full-throated calls for the ‘total obliteration of Iran’. Clinton, Gates and Jones have never in their mature political careers proposed the peaceful settlement of disputes with any adversary of the US or Israel. In other words, their vaunted ‘experience’ is based solely on their one-dimensional militarist approach to foreign relations. <br />
<br />
‘Competence’, as an attribute again depends on the issue of ‘competence to do what’? In general terms, ‘The Three’ (Clinton, Gates and Jones), have demonstrated the greatest incompetence in extricating the US from prolonged, costly and lost colonial wars. They lack the minimum capacity to recognize that military-driven empire-building in the context of independent states is no longer feasible, that its costs can ruin an imperial economy and that prolonged wars erode their legitimacy in the eyes of their citizens. <br />
<br />
Even within the framework of imperial geo-political strategic thinking, their positions exhibit the most dense incompetence: They blindly back a small, highly militarized and ideologically fanatical colonial state (Israel) against 1.5 billion Muslims living in oil and mineral resource-rich nations with lucrative markets and investment potential and situated in the strategic center of the world. They promote total wars against whole populations, as is occurring in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia and, which, by all historical experience, cannot be won. They are truly ‘Masters of Defeat’. <br />
<br />
The point of the matter is that Obama appointed the ‘Big Three’ for their experience, competence and bipartisan support in the pursuit of imperial wars. He overlooked their glaring failures, their gross violations of the basic norms of civilization (of the human rights of tens of millions civilians in sovereign nations) because of their willingness to pursue the illusions of a US-dominated new world order. <br />
<br />
Conclusion <br />
<br />
Nothing speaks to Obama’s deep and abiding commitment to become the savior of the US empire as clearly as his willingness to appoint to the highest position of policy making the most mediocre failed politicians and generals merely because of their demonstrated willingness to pursue the course of military-driven empire building even in the midst of a collapsing domestic economy and ever more impoverished and drained citizenry. <br />
<br />
Just as Obama’s electoral campaign and subsequent victory will go into the annals as the political con-job of the new millennium, his economic and political appointments will mark another ‘historic’ moment: The nomination of corrupt and failed speculators and warmongers. Let us join the inaugural celebration of our ‘First Afro-American’ Imperial President, who wins by con and rules by guns!</div>

 <br />
I was in the Cox cable, today. This old, blind sistah roared on the staff for taking too long.<br />
 <br />
I never thought about it, until today. But they had 3 out 10 stations open. And the one dude was in and out, in and out of the back like every customer.<br />
 <br />
She said, &quot;Ex'cuse mee...Why is it taking soo long&quot;. (Loud :sleep:)<br />
 <br />
The &quot;Cox dude&quot; was like, ...&quot;miss, you can use the Express service&quot; (*more at patronizing her).<br />
 <br />
She was like, &quot;But I got money, I'm here to pay&quot;! Then, she bust out like, &quot;I'm blind..I'M BLIND&quot;. &quot;Were is the Manager&quot;. &quot;You keep taking all these breaks; back and forth in the back. You only using 3 stations. <br />
 <br />
Then <i>another older</i> Sistah, maybe in her 70's chimed right on in, talkin' bout the same thing.<br />
 <br />
*The first sistah was like, &quot;I'm blind..I'M BLIND&quot;. &quot;Were is the Manager&quot;.<br />
 <br />
The teller said ,&quot;he's...(*lost the rest, cause she was in his stuff knee deep), You have to wait like everybody else&quot;.<br />
 <br />
Here's comes the &quot;Facist Security dude&quot; who helped her to her seat. He now's she's mad, but instead of walking her up to the counter, he was like &quot;Ma'm, you need to calm down&quot;. <br />
 <br />
Of course she <i>said</i>, &quot;NO&quot;! &quot;What is your<i> job</i> <i>then</i>?&quot; He said, &quot;Then you have to leave&quot; <br />
 <br />
She said, &quot;No I won't&quot;, &quot;I ain't going nowhere, and you can call the police&quot;.<br />
 <br />
I thanked her for speaking up for us, and looked around the facility, just like I do at the bank, and she's blind,...3 tellers is working.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
Were's the customer service???<br />
 <br />
I gave her my ticket and walked her up there.<br />
 <br />
She said, &quot;I used to work here, I wouldn't even take breaks, before my customer was served&quot;.<br />
 <br />
My point is:<br />
 <br />
When I was in the Millitary, I didn't take breaks either. I worked through lunch, on my feet. Kissing a &quot;whole bunch of ass&quot;, and &quot;selling out' &quot; and still was getting clowned (*I was naive, and didn't how serious I had dug myself into a hole by signing them contracts and getting my face checked for facial smoothess and hair, or if I had on Black socks).<br />
 <br />
I was being punished for working hard. Cause' I didn't know my place. <br />
 <br />
I had pride in what I was doing. I wasn't prideful; I was just proud to be working and doing my thang. Feeding my family.<br />
 <br />
 <br />

It could be because for the first time America has a black president and the First Lady is a sista, and together with their two beautiful black daughters overnight improved the international image of black people, let alone Americans. But leave it to the diabolical minds at Fox Networks to pick up where BET left off with the debut of their newest show “The Cleveland Show,” where in just 22 minutes they managed to portray black mothers as unmarried promiscuous sexual objects, black teenage girls as headed down the same path as their mothers, young black boys as sexual deviants, and black people period as being unable to speak anything other than Ebonics — all in the name of comedy.<br />
<br />
Just like with the character Shirley Q. Liquor, a black unmarried welfare mother who guzzles malt liquor, drives a Caddy, and has 19 “chirrun” some of whom are named Cheeto, Orangello, Chlamydia, and Kmartina, who is routinely performed by a white man in blackface, there’s nothing funny about an animated television series that seeks to legitimize and reinforce every negative stereotype about black people during primetime to the delight of white audiences from coast to coast.<br />
<br />
When President Barack Obama was sworn into office, it signaled a new beginning for American politics and the end of mainstream media news reporting as we knew it because every day for the next four years, at least, a black man was going to be the lead story on the evening newscast, and not for committing a crime, dunking a ball, or singing a song. In return, the news media sought to find balance by quietly, yet intentionally, removing black anchors and reporters from newscasts around the country. I guess they figured one Negro making news on a daily basis was enough without having to hear about from one as well.<br />
<br />
All black or majority-black casts on television are a rare commodity. Blacks almost all but disappeared from broadcast television years ago, putting black actors and actresses on the endangered species list with their news media counterparts.<br />
<br />
Even in today’s economy and with the status of blacks on television, be it entertainment or news, Fox is willing to capitalize off the continued objectification of black women by using animation to over-sexualize their physical characteristics. (At least if the show weren’t animated, a black woman would be getting paid cash money for being objectified on screen, and a lot more than she would for just doing a voiceover, if you know what I’m saying.)<br />
<br />
Just like BET knew they were pushing the envelope when they tried to go there with “We Can Do Better,” Fox knows it’s pushing something with “The Cleveland Show,” and it isn’t an envelope. Fox is making an attempt to capitalize off of the negative stereotypes of blacks and laughing all the way to the bank.<br />
<br />
Don’t think so? How much do you think companies paid to advertise during a show that featured an overweight, recently divorced black man and his overweight, developmentally challenged black son, who go down south where the father hooks up with his black, overly voluptuous yet promiscuous high school crush only to play father to her delinquent black children—all while speaking whites people’s version of black Ebonics? I’m just saying.<br />
<br />
It never ceases to amaze me what’s not off limits when it comes to black people. I say that because I know that had “The Cleveland Show” been pitched as the “The Weismans” or “The Hernandezes” — with the same characters — we’d probably have been watching re-runs of something else Sunday night.<br />
<br />
I wonder about the black people who did bother to tune into “The Cleveland Show” debut. Were we so busy laughing that we failed to realize the joke was on us? It’s happened before. Just look at the misogynistic lyrics in rap music recited by black men, financed by white, and bought by both races that continue to portray black women as nothing more than sexual objects to the point where some of us are so confused that we’ve gladly taken on the role.<br />
<br />
After the election of a president who is black, but neither divorced nor overweight, and a First Lady who is black but married and raising her two children — children who aren’t having sex prematurely or showing signs of early criminal activity — Fox’s debut of the “The Cleveland Show” is nothing more than a desperate and stealth attempt to work against the improved international image of black people. Fox says it’s animation domination but it’s more like animation demonization—of black people.<br />
<br />
And before you ask, “What about ‘The Family Guy?’” – consider this. While “The Family Guy’s” father, son, and daughter may be on the chubby side, remember that the parents are married, the kids attend school regularly, and they all speak pretty good English.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div align="center"><div align="center"><font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">As a means of ensuring the continuance of its white dominance and control, White America's methods of institutional racism has been secretly modified into a more contemporary and stealthy design that provides a more socially acceptable means of controlling and suppressing the advancement of its Black population.  This modern, more sophisticated method is appropriately referred to as “the Black Matrix”.  And although its method is less blatant than those earlier racist systems used in the past against Black people, its affects are however far more detrimentally proficient. In fact, it is the most proficient racist system ever deployed against Black people and yet most are totally oblivious of its existence. </font></font></font></div></div><font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">It is surmised that this covert [Black Matrix] racist system was implemented in 1968, in the face of widespread violence that ensued after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.   Dr. King’s brutal assassination amplified Black angry demonstrations and riots within the United States.  Such incidents were reported in more than 100 cities across the nation immediately following the assassination.  This violence resulted in the loss of lives and property that cost the nation and taxpayers millions of dollars and increasingly placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy.  America’s racially motivated brutality toward African Americans appeared to have reached its boiling point, creating much unrest and discord.  These factors, combined with the rapidly deteriorating American global image, led U.S. Government agents of White supremacy to quickly reform their techniques of institutionalized racism. </font></font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white"> This problem resulted in President Lyndon B Johnson ordering the formation of the Kerner Commission.  Its mission was to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem.  The Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems. The Kerner report’s findings required that the U.S. Government abandon its open, blatant forms of racist systems used to suppress and control of its Black population as a means of maintaining its White dominance.  This abandonment of outdated tactics necessitated an implementation of an improved method for ensuring the continuance of white dominance and control.  </font></font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">Changing times required that the U.S. government modify its methods.  Today’s method is more covert and sophisticated in its implementation. The United States media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports. They function as a media manipulation psychosocial program. It is deployed through a massive media driven-- social engineering-- marketing campaign that devalues African Americans. Its features include the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among African Americans that ensures the continuance of white dominance. </font></font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">This psychosocial program adversely manipulates and shapes the minds and collective perceptions of African Americans by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves.  Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to break down African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, mold the character of self-hatred, and engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and division among their group that weakens their ranks.  It also conditions Black people to accept white dominance over their lives by convincing them that it is now they that are their own worst enemies.  </font></font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">Furthermore, it also heightens mass insensitivity throughout the nation and world regarding the plight of African Americans therefore facilitating a consensual nationally setting for Black mistreatment. It fosters false justifications for America’s legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans; wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and unfairly treated.  The effects of this massive psychosocial program are also manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also affects attitudes that, when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance.</font></font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">This psychosocial program is at the core of the feeling of self hatred that many African Americans now experience as well as the feelings of superiority that many whites possess.</font></font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font size="3"><font color="white">The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly mass psychological manipulation meets this need--because it covertly creates a national climate that allows the government to suppress consensually the advancement of its African American population and to maintain its White dominance.   Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White race’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply engrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population. Clearly, the method of psychological warfare provides the United States Governmental elites with a method for meeting this need but doing so with the added benefit of not appearing racist. It was perfectly suited for the changing times.  Unlike the extremely cruel and public racism used in the past, which Blacks were able to easily identify and thus unify to form counter strategies against, racism through psychological warfare is much harder to detect.  Armed with this method, the U.S. government could maintain dominance and control with less social fallout because racism is not as easily recognized.  This new method exists in the space between overt racism and racial respect.  </font></font></font><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>It's been a while send I wrote in this blog but after looking there the post of herbs I decided to add my 2 cents about what I know and how herbs have affected me. Over time I have use attempted to use some different herbs to heal myself so I'm going to share some of my findings with everyone else. The herbs and natural medicines I have used include <font color="Red">lemon, ginger, mullein, eucalyptus, frankincense, garlic, peppers, slippery elm, cumin, water, honey</font>. There is a probably more but I can't think of it now. Those herbs and natural substances are the ones I'll talk about of thing 4 part series. I try to learn the old way of doing certain things because the old way may be more effective and efficient.  I'm not the kind of person who wants to do things the old way for the sake of it but I'm interested in what's effective and efficient. <br />
<br />
There are some inventions and methods that work better than the old way of doing the same thing, like a gas or electric stove is much better than cooking over a fire, but other things aren't as useful. This is the problem capitalism creates for technology and methodology in our lives. For example there are 100s of cleaning products some very expensive and others considered cheap yet 99% of all cleaning product have two active ingredients, bleach and water. If they are trying to make it &quot;special&quot; other active ingredients will be baking soda, lemon, or vinegar and they'll be listed by their scientific names on the back rather than by their common names. Capitalism teaches us to buy an expensive cleaning product instead of mixing water and vinegar, bleach, or baking soda. All common substances in people's homes. If used like the old way people would save a lot of money today. So the old way of doing things is not always a bad way of doing things. Many times it cost less, last longer, and is better for you. <br />
<br />
But back to the herbs, I'll start with my most favorite herb <b>Mullein</b>. I've smoked mullein, taken the extract, had the tea, and I'm currently making some of my own mullein tonic.  There will be more conjuring to come :party:. Anyways mullein is good for lung problems and ear infections. I've never used it for ear infections but I hear it works. It makes sense that it works because the ear, mouth, sinus, nose, and throat are all part of the upper repository system and that's where mullein works its magic. Many common upper repository problems are due to the excessive mucus. Mullein is a natural expectorant it thins and removes mucus. It also calms spasm in the lungs and has a soothing element to it. The extract and tea are the strongest in my opinion but smoking it also works. The good part is buying mullein leaves is cheap it's like $2 an ounce. For all you weed smokers you know $2 an ounce is cheap den a mf, nah too cheap to be real. Lol.<br />
<br />
The next natural substance I'll talk about will be simple ole <b>Lemon</b>. Everyone has lemons or can get them some. You may have noticed when you have a cold or are sick the first thing someone tells you is drink tea with lemon and honey. There is a perfectly good explanation for that like mullein lemons are a natural expectorant (thins and removes mucus) and anti-bacterial too. Remember excessive mucus causes problems in the upper repository system (ear, mouth, sinus, nose, and throat). If there is a bacterial problem, lemons help with that too. You ever wonder why so many cleaning products include lemon? It's not just its smell though that's another benefit of lemon too; it kills odor, bacteria, grease, and stains.  It's a natural cleaning product too. I seen on a survival show if you have to you can soke raw meat in lemon juice and that'll kill all the bacteria and you can then eat the meat. Of course that's only if you have too. Now some of you are out there saying wait a minute my mom/dad or grandma/pa use to soke their meat in lemons too. It wasn't just for flavor. I use to use lemon just in drinks like teas and water but on the day of my wedding I found myself hoarse and an ask an older man to get me a lemon and some water and he got it for me and was like, &quot;I hope you aren't about to mix that just peel and eat the lemon like an orange.&quot; I was like WTF until I did it and realized a lemon is not as sour as I thought. Beyond that I was like got damn this stuff works fast! From then on I've been a great fan of eating lemon straight. <br />
<br />
As this post continues you'll see I'm a big fan of eating a lot of herbs straight. I will warn you though just because something is natural doesn't mean there isn't a limit. Just as medical drugs can hurt you if abused so can natural medicines if abused. Trust me I know, I'll get to that in part 2<br />

<br />
</font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><br />
<font color="white">      The present despairing state of Black America is neither a baffling phenomenon, nor the result of some innate racial deficiency among Blacks; but rather instead the result of a more sophisticatedly evolved racist system that is commonly used against Black populations as a means for maintaining white dominance and control. And although this method is less blatant than those earlier racist systems used in the past against Blacks, its affects are   detrimentally real. In fact it is by far the most proficient racist system ever deployed against America’s black population-and yet most Black people are totally oblivious it. It is imperative that Black people recognize how racism has sophisticatedly evolved if we are to be apart of the future.</font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">The national media’s distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is more than just biased media reports. They function as media manipulation psychosocial programs.  A covert system that maintains white dominance and control by ensuring that Blacks remain the most racially divided, devalued and most economically exploited group in America. It was implemented by America’s true ruling white elites; they that actually run the country from behind the scenes and maintains their positions of power and prestige regardless of who is actually president. </font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with<b>, </b>through a white controlled media<b>,</b> is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of its African American population by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves while implying that they admire, respect, and trust only whites.</font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">This media psychosocial program conditions Black people to accept white dominance over their lives by convincing them that it is now they that are their own worst enemies. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to break down African Americans’ sense of racial unity and allegiance, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group.  </font></font><br />
<br />
<font color="white"><font face="Arial">When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic &quot;conspiracy theory&quot; that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true dangers are the well proven methods of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and manipulation. </font><font face="Arial">It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological principles.  </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">This method of psychological manipulation works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans.  Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being followed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny.  With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">The perception created by the taunting unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own ship even if their own ship was in fact better. The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the mind through deception.</font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">Within a real life setting this mortifying psychosocial treatment is precisely what is being deliberately done to African Americans through governmentally controlled media outlets that deliberately subjected them to seeing only the fraudulently worst in themselves. Today false deplorably racial devaluing stories and reports about African Americans are being created by covert agencies within the U.S. government and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media. These false information about African Americans are then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. The weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages detrimentally affects the Black population at large. </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">To the detriment of many African Americans, this applied psychological conditioning has been extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to not only accept, but in some cases to prefer  the dominance of white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies. [Blacks own negative personal experiences within their group merely reinforce the program’s perpetuated message that it is they that are their own worst enemies.]  These thoughts when injected into the Black psyche engender an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility.</font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">This psychosocial program is at the root of the profound feelings of internalize self hatred and self contemptuous attitudes presently among so many African Americans and at is the heart of the internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess.  </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">It is deplored with both subtlety and thoroughness in its management of the news that is presented to its Black population.  Furthermore, it is not distant and impersonal; it reaches into the homes of every African American, working its will during nearly every waking hour. All African Americans have experienced the burden of this system of applied psychological conditioning, some more severely than others have. It is the power that shapes and molds the mind and perceptions of virtually every Black citizen, young or old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated, unknown or famous. It is experienced every time a Black person read a newspaper, watches the evening news, and listens to derogatory radio broadcast about themselves. However, most Blacks fail to realize that they are being manipulated and instead falls victims to the misinformation about themselves. Many African Americans literally develop a self contemptuous “anti Black” frame of thought that collectively attributes to Black disunity at a time when we need unity; it distracts us from solving real problems; increases self loathing at a time when we need to come together to face the complicity in our condition. It prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances within it needed to bring about real change. </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">And while many Black Americans have successfully navigated through the psychology mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, for far too many African Americans this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them.  For some of its Black victims it can be so detrimental to their psyche that it may even cause them to feel that there is something not quite right about their Black humanity<br />
<br />
Even the socially conscious Black person who complains about &quot;racially biased news&quot; falls into the trap of thinking that because he is presented with an apparent spectrum of opinion he can escape the thought controllers' influence by believing the editor or commentator of his choice. It's a &quot;heads I win, tails you lose&quot; situation. Every point on the permissible spectrum of public opinion is acceptable to the media masters—and no impermissible fact or viewpoint is allowed any exposure at all, if they can prevent it. </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">The ultimately goal is psychosocial program is to destroy the Black unity and cohesion that was historically the cornerstone of civil rights movement and that was a crucial factor of the survival of African Americans through more than four hundred years of racial oppression. [Logic dictates that given that immense unity  among African Americans --as demonstrated by their brilliant civil rights organizing and strategies--  was responsible for the erosion of White America’s past system of blatant, institutionalized racism, then destroying this unity would be an essential objective of this mass psychosocial program.]</font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white"> This media deplored mass manipulation program is made possible because the  media form for us our image of the world and essentially everything we know—or think we know—about events outside our own neighborhood or circle of acquaintances comes to us via our daily newspaper, our weekly news magazine, our radio, or our television. By employing carefully developed psychological techniques, the mass media guide our thoughts and opinions. The way in which the news is covered: which point of views are emphasized and which are played down; the phrasing of headlines; the choice of words, pictures, and illustrations—all of these things subliminally and yet profoundly affect the way in which we interpret what we see or hear. The media tell us which side of an issue that we should favor, forms our images of various groups of people. Even our images of ourselves are greatly influenced by what media shows us about our own group. Given these factor the media has been used for decades by government elites to manipulate public opinion and to socially engineer society towards governmental objectives. </font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">   The U.S. Government has an extensive history of using the media to conduct mass propaganda m<b>anipulation programs </b>to influence the perception of its citizens to meet its governmental objectives. Given that the nineteen sixties were a period of massive black rebellion and unrest that eroded the American global image and increasingly placed the nation’s peace and stability in dire jeopardy and perhaps most particularly because the nations top sociologist and psychologist knew that those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. This quite logically necessitated that the U.S. Government employ these same proven methods of mass psychological manipulation against its entire African American population-- Its greatest civil rights organizers, protestors, and fighters of white institutionalized racism as a means of maintaining its white dominance and control. </font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">Not only does this massive governmental psychological manipulation campaign negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, but it also provides a more socially acceptable way to exploit and suppressed African Americans. Its deplorable imageries of Black Americans also to create a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore engendering prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed. </font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white"> It creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified.  When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified.  This is what America’s mass propaganda specialist Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “engineering consent”.</font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">Through its blatant propagandizing of distorting TV documentaries that deploringly characterizes its Black population, this media psychosocial program perpetuates a depiction of Black people that expresses a profoundly distorted view that elevates what is wrong with Black America above all that we know is right with Black America. Its portrayal of Black America is one that ignores all facts that conflict with the racist conceptions of the white elites and sees the endemic problems of Black America as rooted primarily with Blacks themselves, instead of emanating from white racism. This program revises the past to conveniently make whites appear less inhumane through out America’s brutal racist history; and despite a brutal history to the contrary-- fraudulently depicts whites as being the standard of ethics and morale values while portraying Blacks as being all that’s wrong with America. It also facilitates a national consensual environment of where in which Blacks cries for equality are lesser heard and their mistreatment appears more justified.</font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">There is no greater power in the world today than that wielded by the manipulators of public opinion in America. No king or pope of old, no conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of the few dozen men who control America’s mass media of news and entertainment. It is they that control black self perceptions, thus affecting Black unity and pride, and that determines the images of how Black Americans are portrayed before the entire world</font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="white">Our Responsibility</font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><br />
<font color="white">Once we Black people come to recognize this psychosocial treatment of us, it is our inescapable responsibility to do whatever is necessary to break this control. We must shrink from nothing in combating this evil power that has fastened its deadly grip on our people and is injecting its lethal poison into our people's minds and souls. If our race fails to destroy it, it certainly will destroy our race. <br />
<br />
</font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><br />
<br />
<font color="white">Those are the facts of how Black people are being manipulated by media control in America.  We must not remain silent on this most important of issues. The white elite’s control of the American mass media is the single most important fact of life, not just in America, but in the whole world today. There is nothing more dangerous to the future of our people. <br />
<br />
By permitting the white elites to continue their total control of our news and entertainment media we are doing more than merely giving them a decisive influence on our communities; we also are giving them virtual control of the minds and souls of our children, whose attitudes and ideas are shaped more by white controlled television and films than by parents, schools, or any other influence. <br />
