Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., What Would You Say?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., What Would You Say?

You don’t play with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and you don’t play
with his people.

By his people, I mean people of good conscience, fundamentally
good people committed to peace and truth and justice, especially
the Black tradition that produced it.

All of the blood, sweat and tears that went into producing a
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., generated a brother of such high
decency and dignity that you don’t use his prophetic fire for
a moment of presidential pageantry without understanding the
challenge he represents to all of those in power, regardless of
what color they are.

The righteous indignation of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
becomes a moment of political calculation.

And that makes my blood boil. Why?

Because Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., died…he died…for the
three crimes against humanity that he was wrestling with.

Jim Crow, traumatizing, terrorizing, stigmatizing Black people.
Lynching, not just ‘segregation’ as the press likes to talk about.

Second, carpet bombing in Vietnam killing innocent people,
especially innocent children, those are war crimes that Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was willing to die for.

And thirdly, was poverty of all colors, he said it is a crime against
humanity for the richest nation in the world to have so many of it’s
precious children of all colors living in poverty and especially on the
chocolate side of the nation, and on Indian reservations and brown
barrios and yellow slices and black ghettos — we call them hoods
now, but ghettos then.

So I said to myself ain’t nothing wrong with putting your hand on
the bible, even though the bible’s talking about justice, Jesus is
talking about the least of these, but when you put it on Martin’s
bible, I said this is personal for me, because this is the tradition
that I come out of.

Brother Martin Luther King, Jr., what would you do
about the new Jim Crow?

What would say about the Prison Industrial Complex?

What would you say about the invisibility of so many of our
prisoners, so many of our incarcerated, especially when 62%
of them are there for soft drugs and not one executive of a
Wall Street bank has gone to jail?

Not one.

Not one wire-tapper, not one torturer under the
Bush Administration.

Then what would he say about the drones on the precious brothers,
and sisters, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in Somalia, in Yemen,
in Pakistan, and in Syria?

These are war crimes, just like the war crimes in Vietnam.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., what would you say?

An Open Letter To The U.S. Mainstream News Media

An Open Letter To The U.S. Mainstream News Media

By Expotera
March 14, 2016

Dear U.S. Mainstream News Media:

My name is Tony Whitcomb and I am a 50 year old African American
male and all I can honestly say is the more you try to, "Hate On"
and/or try to, "Demonize" Mr. Donald J. Trump, and/or any of my
fellow American Citizens who are now deciding to not only support
Mr. Trump, but to go out and, "Vote" for him as well, the more,
"Dishonest" as well as the more, "Corrupt" you are now making not
only each and every one of yourselves look, but each and every one
of your independent and separate news organizations look as well.

You see and for the record, Mr. Donald J. Trump has had
absolutely, positively, "Nothing" to do with our Country's national
debt growing from, "$5 Trillion Dollars" back on January 01, 1996,
to now sitting at well over, "$18 Trillion Dollars" as of January 01,
2016.

But the last three presidential administrations being the Clinton,
Bush, and Obama, "Presidential Administrations" have now had
absolutely, positively, "Everything" to do with our Country's national
debt now growing from $5 Trillion Dollars back on January 01, 1996,
to well over $18 Trillion Dollars as of January 01, 2016.

Back on July 3, 2008 and one day before, "Independence Day"
then Senator Barack Obama openly stated the following:

"The problem is, the way Bush has done it over the last eight
years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in
the name of our children, driving up our national debt from
$5 trillion for the first 42 presidents - #43 added $4 trillion
by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt
that we are going to have to pay back, $30,000 for every man,
woman, and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic."

Back in the summer of 2008 it was deemed both, "Irresponsible"
as well as, "Unpatriotic" for then President George Bush by his,
"lonesome" in the words of current President Barack Obama, to
have added over $4 Trillion Dollars to the national debt back at
that time.

But since this time President Barack Obama by his, "lonesome"
has now added an additional and well over, "$8 Trillion Dollars"
to the current national debt and my very simply question here for
all of you who are now currently working in the U.S. Mainstream
News Media is, if adding $4 Trillion Dollars to the national debt
makes someone, " Irresponsible" as well as, "Unpatriotic" what does
adding an additional, "$8 Trillion Dollars" to the national debt now
make someone like say a, "President Barack Obama" here on March
14, 2016??

History has now repeatedly shown that the U.S Mainstream
News Media, "Lies" and U.S Politicians, "Lie" but the numbers
do not, "Lie" and in this case all of the, "Numbers" simply
speak for themselves here as well.

But when you have dishonest, as well as unintelligent people now
trying to defend the, "Indefensible" by trying to call and/or by now
trying to portray Mr. Donald J. Trump, as a, "Neo-Facist" and/or as
a, "Racist" individual, for simply pointing out that our Country has
now been very intentionally run into the ground over these past
three presidential administrations, there is of course going to be
the potential for a very, very, very, "Violent" reaction to all of this,
simply because people like myself for example, are simply tired of
being, "Lied" to, and we are now starting to, "Hate" each and every
one of you who is now working in the U.S. Mainstream News Media,
as much as we, "Hate" all of the politicians who have now put our
Country well over, "$18 Trillion Dollars" in debt as well, because all
of, "You" are completely out of touch with the, "American People"
because none of you are willing to tell the, "Truth" to the American
People as well.

Sincerely,

Tony Whitcomb

How To: Sell Your Soul To The Devil

How To: Sell Your Soul To The Devil

By Anonymous
Via - Uncyclopedia

Many people desire to sell their soul to the devil, but have no way
of knowing how to go about it.

Perhaps their marketing knowledge is scarce, or they do not have
contact information for the devil.

For those who have always wanted to sell their soul to the devil,
by reading this guide you will soon have the means at your disposal.

Step One

Determine what your soul is worth. Peruse Consumer Reports to
find out what other souls are going for.

If you sell too cheaply, you will resent the bad deal for the rest
of your eternal life in Hell.

If your asking price is too high, the devil may laugh while declining
your proposal. He may find you so idiotic that he will refuse to
meet with you again.

If you choose to bargain with the devil, be prepared for a long
business meeting.

Just to end it all, you will make an agreement you regret.

So, think long and hard about the worth of your soul before
planning to sell it. If you have difficulty, see a financial adviser.

Note that the financial adviser should under no circumstances have
a law degree, as it is common knowledge that all lawyers sell their
souls during the last stage of the bar exam.

Step Two

So you've put a firm monetary value on your soul.

Plan very carefully what you will do with this money, because you
will only be able to enjoy it for a short time compared to your
eternity in hell.

Perhaps you will create a bucket list of things to do before Satan
comes knocking at your door.

The amount you can receive depends largely on your intelligence.

Obviously, Satan doesn't see any challenge to tricking stupid
people, and, if Charlie Daniels is correct, he also appreciates
musical talent.

Another factor in your soul's value is how desperate you are.

Money is nothing to a supernatural being like Satan, and with and
endless supply provided by the Federal Reserve Bank, He'll often
give you a little extra just for your troubles.

At this point, you are probably having doubts and fears.

No doubt angels have visited you and pleaded with you
not to go through with this decision.

The important thing is to hold your chin up, proud that your
selfishness in the here and now is more important than a life
of charity leading to eternal peace.

"Begone, Goodness!" will become your catch phrase.

Step Three

Know how to contact the devil. Your local Satanic Church may be
able to provide you with the address and phone number of one of
Satan's trusted representatives on Earth.

If you would rather speak to the devil without a mediator,
you may purchase a Ouija Board for less than $20.

A cheaper method is to buy a tub of black ink, pour it in a bowl
and gaze into it after lighting candles in the shape of a pentagram.

Stare into the darkness and the devil should appear. If he does
not appear, the line is busy and you should try again later.

Step Four

Set out your terms for the Prince of Darkness to consider.

Remember to include such things as how long you will live,
how healthy you will be and whether you will have romantic opportunities.

Many forgo these considerations in lieu of only money. Ask
for unmarked bills and don't leave until you get them.

Sign nothing until you see the cash.

Don't grab the cash and attempt to run off before signing, either.
Satan gets very, very angry, and will likely damn you to Super Hell.

Step Five

Celebrate your achievement! You are now an insider!

Go out and have a beer with your friends.

Live it up, secure in the knowledge that your comfy stateroom
beside the Fiery Pits awaits you when Eternity arrives.

The Mutiny of The Dead

The Mutiny of The Dead

By Adeosun Pelum
March 9, 2016

The wilted branch of the willow tree,
Drooped, touching her headstone with its tender fingers,
The browning grasses and the primroses stood like a 1000 soldiers,
Ever watchful and protective of her realm,
They were her friends and her only companions.

The muffled silence and the mournful wails of the wind,
Were the only voice she’s ever heard,
And she loved listening to them too.

The flapping wings of the raven,
Ruffling the slumbering atmosphere,
Announced his presence as he gave raucous caw;
A greeting no one else understood but her,
And she would respond with a well meaning silence.

She seemed to give a knowing smile,
As the raven perched on her headstone,
Stirring the still flowers with a gentle draft of wind,
From his ominously dark and ethereal wings.

He is her friend too;
Her only living friend in flesh;
Yet, like her, he is unwelcome in the land of the living
where he dwells.

News from the land beyond, he always bring,
And she would listened so aptly,
That even her quietness rivals that of the gloomy silence.

Today, he brought her a joyous tale;
Of the carnage behind the mortal veil;
And from it, she knew it’s already begun;
The mutiny of the dead.

She knew what must be done,
Soon others like her would seek refuge,
In the voluminous bowels of the caring mother earth,
And she would welcome them with a regal smile of a queen,
Which she is.

She would show them love and give them the unrestrained attention denied them by the living.

She would listen to their troubles and calm them with soothing tales of hers.

She would tell the tale of the beautiful moonlight,
Whose pale and innocent looks calms the mind of the troubled,
And she would tell that of the sun,
Whose radiance warms the earth,
Beneath which they lay.

Then she would conclude it with a tale of her own,
Of how she was stabbed by a lover’s hand,
On the night of her marriage to her betrothed.

And she would round it up with the declaration,
Of her passionate and hateful devotion,
To the end of humanity.

16 These six things the Lord hates: Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,

18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,

19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

Plausible Deniability

Plausible Deniability

By Wikipedia.org
March 3, 2016

Plausible Deniability is the ability for persons (typically senior
officials in a formal or informal chain of command) to deny
knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed
by others (usually subordinates in an organizational hierarchy)
because of a lack of evidence that can confirm their participation,
even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully
ignorant of the actions.

The objective is for the focus, in damaging revelations, to be
redirected typically to subordinates in the organizational hierarchy.

In the case that illegal or otherwise disreputable and unpopular
activities become public, high-ranking officials may deny any
awareness of such act in order to insulate themselves and shift
blame onto the agents who carried out the acts, confident that
their doubters will be unable to prove otherwise.

The lack of evidence to the contrary ostensibly makes the denial
plausible, that is, credible, although sometimes it merely makes
it unactionable.

The term typically implies forethought, such as intentionally setting
up the conditions to plausibly avoid responsibility for one's (future)
actions or knowledge.

In some organizations, legal doctrines such as command
responsibility exist to hold major parties responsible for
the actions of subordinates involved in heinous acts and
nullify any legal protection that their denial of involvement
would carry.

In politics and espionage, deniability refers to the ability of a
powerful player or intelligence agency to pass the buck and avoid
blowback by secretly arranging for an action to be taken on their
behalf by a third party ostensibly unconnected with the major
player.

In political campaigns, "Plausible Deniability" enables candidates
to stay clean and denounce third-party advertisements that use
unethical approaches or potentially libellous innuendo.

Plausible Deniability is also a legal concept.

It refers to lack of evidence proving an allegation.

Standards of proof vary in civil and criminal cases.

In civil cases, the standard of proof is, "preponderance of
the evidence" whereas in a criminal matter, the standard
is "beyond a reasonable doubt."

If an opponent cannot provide evidence for his allegation,
one can plausibly deny the allegation even though it may
be true.

Although plausible deniability has existed throughout history,
the name for it was coined by the CIA in the early 1960s to
describe the withholding of information from senior officials
in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that
illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge.

Because of this the official evidence that would confirm high level
government participation, even if 100 percent directly or indirectly,
knowledgeable, and/or personally involved, or at the very least,
willfully ignorant of the actions, there is no official accountability.

The roots of the name go back to Harry Truman's national security
council paper 10/2 of June 18, 1948, which defined "covert
operations" as "...all activities conducted pursuant to this directive
which are so planned and executed that any U.S. Government
responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons and
that if uncovered the U.S. Government can plausibly disclaim any
responsibility for them."

Archives, RG 273.]

Master Number Eleven

Master Number Eleven

By Hans Decoz
Numerology.com
February 29, 2016

Numerology reduces all multi-digit numbers to the single-digit
numbers 1 through 9 with the exception of the three Master
numbers 11, 22 and 33.

These three Master numbers in many cases are not reduced and
have a specific set of attributes that sets them apart from all other
numbers.

Numerology enthusiasts and practitioners have always been
especially excited about Master numbers because, as the name
implies, they represent something above and beyond the mundane.

However, in the last couple of decades, some numerologists have
adopted all double-digit numbers with identical digits (44, 55, 66
…) as Master numbers, probably because the mysterious nature of
Master numbers tickles our sensationalist nature.

This is truly unfortunate, not only because it is incorrect,
but also because it diminishes our understanding of the
true Master numbers.

Yes, it is correct to state that all double-digit numbers with
identical digits are powerful for the simple reason that a
combination of duplicate numbers, more or less doubles, the
influence of the single digit.

For example, the number 44 would have double the influence of a
single 4, the number 55 doubles the influence of a single 5 and so
forth.

However, with the three true Master numbers, their power is not
just based on the simple fact that they consist of identical digits,
but because those digits are the 1, the 2, and the 3, respectively.

In the case of the 11 (a double 1), it has the traits and personality
of the 1 twice, and when added (11 = 1+1 = 2) becomes a 2,
thereby combining the most powerful male energy (the 1, Zeus)
with the equally potent female energy (the 2, Hera).

Considering that the 1 and the 2 are on opposite ends of the
spectrum and the sum of their combined attributes pretty much
overshadows all other attributes assigned to the numbers 3 through
9 you can perhaps imagine a merging of the strongest, most driven
and aggressive warrior, an unstoppable masculine energy, with the
supremacy of the most intuitive, feminine, and cunning goddess.

And even that does not reveal the true essence of the 11 Master
number: The 11 symbolizes the potential to push the limitations of
the human experience into the stratosphere of the highest spiritual
perception; the link between the mortal and the immortal;
between man and spirit; between darkness and light; ignorance
and enlightenment.

This is the ultimate symbolic power of the 11.

Similarly, the Master number 22 combines a double dose of
feminine intuitive power as represented by the 2, with the
ultimate capacity to make dreams into reality; the domain
of the 4.

And again, the result is not just a range of attributes stacked to
impressive potential, but the true essence of the 22: The ability to
experience all that the 11 has to offer and apply it to the material
world.

Finally, the Master number 33 combines the most proficient powers
of expression (the 3) with the teacher and caregiver par excellence;
the 6.

Its true essence is the final word in spiritual evolution;
the Master Teacher.

This, the ability to reach spiritual enlightenment (the 11), makes it
a reality in the material world (the 22), then uses it to lift others
into enlightenment (the 33), reflecting the enormity of the gift of
human life as symbolized by the three Master numbers.

Which brings me to the heart of this article: the secret lesson of the
11, a revelation you will not find in any Numerology book or article.

Just as Numerology uses adding numbers, it also subtracts numbers
looking for the difference between them -- generally revealing what
are called challenges or obstacles, and shortcomings you have to
overcome.

They represent the gaps between the stepping stones, bridges we
have to build in order to continue on our path.

In the case of the three Master numbers, the gap between 11 and
22 is 11 and the gap between 22 and 33 is also 11.

This tells us that in order to move from the height of spiritual
understanding as symbolized by the 11, we need to reach an even
higher and more rounded experience of divine insight before we
can apply our spiritual maturity in the material world, as reflected
by the 22.

And the final step, the ultimate divine reality of reaching the
level of a true Master, requires another superhuman boost of
divine realization, this one symbolized by the number 33.

As you may have guessed, I am no longer talking within the realm
of mundane human religious exercise but rather about those who
have reached permanent prince hood in the world of spirit.

And this too is mirrored in the nature of Master numbers.

Quite a few of us have an 11 among our core numbers.

Does that mean that they have a better chance of reaching
enlightenment?

No, they do not.

They have potential access to the attributes of the 11 such as
intuition, but the story of the Master numbers as told above
belongs in a different realm.

There are those among us who do not have a single Master number
in their chart yet can - and have - reached the ultimate spiritual
heights symbolized by the 11.

There are some with and without Master numbers who truly
experience with every breath the reality of living up to the
promises of the 22.

And, if you are not just extremely lucky, but also incredibly
perceptive, you may, in this lifetime, have an opportunity to
meet that most precious of human beings; the Master Teacher.

And recognize him for what he is.

The story of the Master numbers plays on different levels.

On a more commonplace level, Master numbers found in
an individual's chart indicate the potential access to the
attributes attached to those Master numbers; the fine-tuned
intuition of the 11; the master builder potential of the 22;
the extraordinary teaching abilities of the 33.

It is up to the individual to reach that potential and many,
but by no means all, do.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to having one or more
Master numbers in your chart.

The nervous energy of the 11, the frustrations and disappointments
of the 22, and the shy, insecure nature of a 33.

None of the other double-digit numbers with identical digits
(44, 55, 66 ...) burden us with that kind of pressure, positive
or negative.
