The Western World is Scared Sh$#tless

Posted by kenyatta on May 5, 2010

The western world (read white) is scared of what others will do to them as a result of the terror and horror they have inflicted upon the entire earth over the last 500 years. They are afraid of the warranted retaliation due them for their unrelenting terror upon the planet.

In response, they have attempted to turn the tables by labeling others as terrorists while ignoring, overlooking and minimizing their  own history of terror.

Additionally, they feign the notion that others whom they have terrorized would not desire to strike back at them. At the same time, they are spending all of their resources to suppress any such attempts by circumventing endeavors by their victims to reap justice. Their attempts, however, will come to naught. Yes, for a time at least, they will appear to control it. But they forget  that the natural laws of nature works against them. Their end is on the horizon and their collapse is inevitable.

Lest one thinks such a prediction unrealistic, a thorough reading of the history of empires is in order. The terror of the western world, despited their propaganda machinery to paint them as the saviour of all humanity, is shallow and only conceded to by those whom they hold hostage by their false religious, political and economic control.

While the world pretends to agree with them, it is a charade to buy time and to wait them out. We are not fooled by their superficiality.

Tic Toc…Tic Toc…

The Myth of White Beauty: Fact or Fiction

Posted by kenyatta on November 28, 2009

The impact of global white supremacy is underestimated. Almost everyone wants to be white… with the hair to match.

Not only is this affecting African (Black) people, but people over the entire globe are striving for and dreaming of having a white body.

Don’t take my word for it.  Take a look at this video and let me know your thoughts.

Warning- This is not pretty…

Have You Notice This, Too?

Posted by kenyatta on November 22, 2009

The president of the USA, Barack Obama, recently returned from a trip to communist China.

Has anyone else noticed, or is it just me, that the official position of the USA is that it does not deal with communist countries. Yet, this policy only seems to apply to Cuba especially.

The USA has dealing with both communist China and communist Vietnam, but has a multi-decade economic embargo against Cuba.

Is it any wonder most US Americans are schizophrenic?

Cut That Dick Off!!

Posted by kenyatta on August 7, 2009

With each passing day, it’s becoming even more apparent why former Vice-President Cheney’s first name is Dick. The Dick is dicking around with the image of the American president unlike any other former vice president.

It’s also becoming clear, or it should be, to those who intentionally blinded themselves to the ineptness of George Bush that it was really Cheney the Dick who was running things anyway. Bush himself has crawled into his hole and is a least smart enough to keep his mouth shut relative to the office of the presidency.  Cheney the Dick, on the other hand, refuses to slither away to his designated burrow and is doing everything to worm his way into the public discourse.

It is uncharacteristic of a former vice president to be so vocal about a sitting President as the Dick has been over the pass few months. His most recent and probably the most egregious verbal vomit ejaculated from the Dick is to label President Obama as weak.  It is obvious that the impotence of the Republican party has no clear leader and the self appointed Dick has stepped up to the plate to bat, but his premature accusations are unfounded and unwarranted.

While it may be hard for the Dick to accept the defeat given the Republicans, this is the blow that the Dick and his party needed to get the message that they have no message and that they are transparent and outdated.  Yet, the Dick’s words and actions will do more harm than good for his party.

Bottom line? Put a condom on Dick and stop him from spawning and further.

According To Kenyatta

Posted by kenyatta on August 4, 2009

I have returned!

After a brief hiatus from the blogosphere for the past few months, I’ve decided to returned to weigh in on some world events. Over the next few weeks I’ll comment on some past events and then I’ll comment on some ongoing contemporary issues.

I stepped away to focus on personal important issues. I also wanted to step back and just watch the world unfold for a minute. What a lesson!

Several events over the past few months deserve a few words. For example:

Court Mandated Medical Treatment
When A Dick Should Be Cut Off
American Torture…Like Apple pie
The American hand in Iranian Election
Reality Shows? Enough Already!!
The Truth About Michael Jackson
What’s in your food anyway?
Surprise!! This is racism.
Stop Those Religious Nuts!

And several other issues. For now let’s look at…

Courts Mandated Medical Treatment And Americans Do Nothing

First, I watched with amazement as the American people passively allowed a child from Minnesota be force by the courts to undergo chemotherapy treatment. The significance and long range impact this case will have on the American social landscape is inconceivable to most in the country. His parents did not want him to undergo the chemo treatments because they believed it would be more harmful than good. They opted instead for natural approaches to treat his cancer.  But the court ordered that he be forced to undergo chemotherapy.

I expected that people would take to the streets in protest. But there was no organized public demonstration expressing objection to this intrusion upon a basic human right; not even a whimper.  This is opening a door that will have devastating consequences on American choices or lack thereof.

I expected to hear great protestations from those folks who, in their opinion, cry that the Obama administration is making the country socialist.  Yet, they, too, were completely silent on a clear fascist development.

What Time May Teach You
When I was an undergraduate in college, I took an economics class where the professor informed us that Americans would over time lose their rights. It would happen gradually and it would be done in such a way that they would be put in positions where they would ask that their rights be taken away.  At the time, I thought this was impossible.  But time and acute observation has shown him to be correct.

This is one of those cases where great protest should have occurred but didn’t, while, on the other hand, some folks are crying about the creeping socialism they see in areas that will have little impact on their personal lives. At the same time, they overlook or fail to see fascism sneaking up on them.

When courts can ORDER AND DECREE that you MUST treat your child according to their guidelines or else, fascism is knocking at the door.

Put The Blame Where It Really Belongs

Posted by kenyatta on February 22, 2009

In recent news coverage about the housing foreclosure mess, there’s an attempt to blame the home owners for taking on more debt than they could afford.

Is it me or does anyone else know it’s the responsibility of the lenders to determine whether a borrower has the ability to pay back the money …before they lend them the money?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Of course it is!

Bankers/lenders scrutinize a mountain of information on borrowers before making a calculated determination to lend them their money. They also make a decision about how much a borrower can afford given their divulged income, work history, credit report, etc.

But when a borrower who makes an annual salary of $50,000 and who has an already heavy debt load is told by a ‘lending expert’ that they can afford a $400,000 house with no money down, all types of red flags, fire crackers and bells and whistles should go off. Not necessarily in the borrower’s ears because they, already in a highly emotional state, are ecstatic at hearing this news.

Additionally, they are under the impression (and rightly so) that this ‘lender expert’ knows what they’re talking about because they have all the information, good and bad, about them right before their eyes.

The alarms should have gone off in the ears of the lender expert precisely because of the information they have on that borrower. In their expert role, the responsible thing to have done, and which the borrower expected them to do, was to tell that borrower how much house they really could afford given the information they have on hand about them.

But noooo. these lender experts, smiled and shook the hands of these unsuspecting borrowers, gave them the money, cashed their commission and bonus checks and lived happily ever after…that is until BAM!!

The ceiling fell in and the floor disappear from under their feet.

Now that such large and unprecedented numbers of people are losing their homes to foreclosure, the lender experts and their cohorts in the media want to put the blame on the borrowers. They wanna act like they had no part in the fiasco.

That’s utterly absurd and senseless!

Then you have knuckle-heads who believe this media drivel jump on the bandwagon and berate the borrowers while completely exonerating the guilty lender experts. Remember that it was the lender experts who started the ball rolling. Without their approval; without their agreement to give the borrower money, none of this would have happened in the first place.

So put the blame where it belongs — on the BANKS… And keep it there!

Get Your Money Out of The Banks…Now

Posted by kenyatta on February 3, 2009

Believe it or not, now is the best time to take your money out of the banks.

Don’t be caught with your money in banks when they close.

Amid the talk of banks needing governmental help to stay afloat, it is amazing that more people are not taking their money out of banks.

I predict that in the near future banks in the USA will close their doors and many of their customers will not be able to get their money out. Forget about the idea that you’re covered up to $250,000 by FDIC. That is only good until December 31, 2009. (Read the statement the next time you’re in your bank.)

Some Historical Background and Reality

When I was a child growing up in South Carolina, my grandmother use to tell me stories about how her father and others in the family would bury their money in the backyard or keep it in other undisclosed places rather than risk  putting it in banks. They did not trust banks because during the depression of 1929, many Black people were robbed of their bank savings. They had no recourse or remedy to recoup that money. As a result, they developed a healthy skepticism about banks.

My grandfather, as I recall, never or rarely used a bank to save his money because of this experience.

I recently had an experience with my bank Wachovia (now owned by Wells Fargo) that revived those stories told to me by my grandmother.  I view this recollection of those stories as a premonition of what is about to happen in this country with banks.  Long story short: Under a little known law, they have the right to go into anyones account and take money as they see fit. When you open a bank account, you unknowingly agree to this arrangement.

Upon learning of this little known stipulation, and as a result of them “graciously and mercifully” putting the money back into my account, I have closed all accounts with them, taken my money out of the banking system and placed it in a credit union.

Why A Credit Union?

Because credit unions are not subject to the same regulatory guidelines as banks and they are not profit driven institutions like banks. There are several other reasons why they are a better alternative to banks. You can do a google or yahoo search and easily found a wealth of information on the subject.

Don’t ignore the handwriting on the wall…

The state of California is virtually bankrupt.  48 additional states are predicted to file for bankruptcy this year. More than 100, 000 people are being laid-off each week (from major bedrock companies). Recall that a few months ago when a bank went belly up  (I believe it was in Florida) customers were lined up for blocks trying to get their money out, etc.

The main point I want to drive home right now is this; Don’t sit around thinking that your money is safe in any bank regardless of what is being said in the media, by the government and certainly not by the banks!

And remember…You heard it here first.

“I sincerely believe… that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” 

–Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23 –

A word to the wise from across the ages.

Warning: You Might Like This Bailout Plan

Posted by kenyatta on February 1, 2009

Let’s talk about how you can get a real chunk of the bailout money.

I heard about this plan from a friend back in September amid the initial talks surrounding the first bailout plan. I thought it was a good idea then and I think it’s an even better idea now.

In the last week or so, the media has been vaguely hinting at this idea in one form or the other.  It seems to be gaining favor as more people hear about it.  I’m posting it here as a public service and to ask for your help in circulating it (if you’re inclined) because I think it needs to be on the table as a viable alternative to what is being proposed.

The plan as outlined only considers the $85 billion that was paid to AIG.

The Plan:

Instead, of giving $85,000,000,000 to banks, give it to the people of America.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000
Bona fide U.S. Citizens 18 years old and up.
Our population is about 301,000,000 ± counting every man, woman
And child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.

So divide 200 million adults 18+  into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00 each.

The plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ in a check like the “stimulus checks issued under the Bush administration. Remember that the idea of giving every citizen a stimulus check of either $300 or $600 was to help boost the economy (BIG JOKE).
Of course, this money would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

That leaves every adult 18+ with $297,500.00 in their pocket; a husband a wife would receive $595,000.00 – a real stimulus check, right?
Answer A Simple Question, Please

What would you do with $297,500.00 or a $595,000.00 stimulus check in your family?
What do you think most people would do with that money? Right. Put in back into the economy!

Here’s Where The Money Would Most Likely Go

People would:

  1. Pay off their mortgages and rents- This goes directly to the banks. – housing crisis solved.
  2. Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
  3. Buy a new car – create jobs and eliminates need to save the car industry.
  4. More shopping (clothes, shoes, electronics, computers, etc.- will boost the sagging retail industry
  5. Put away some money for college – it’ll be there for future use but is immediately available for lending
  6. Save in a bank – creates money to lend to businesses  and entrepreneurs.
  7. Invest in the market – capital drives growth.
  8. Buy real estate
  9. Pay for your medical insurance – health care improves.

Etc, Etc…

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+  including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in the Armed Forces, too.

Also remember this is with only $85 billion not the $750 billion that was actually paid out. Nor does it take into account the $800+ billion now under consideration. Do the math with those numbers and you might not get any sleep for a few nights.

Lastly, remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to ‘Uncle Sam.’

If the country is serious about boosting the economy, there is no better way to effectively and immediately do this than by giving the money to the consumers and letting them put it back into the economy. Forget about a punny $500 or $1,000 stimulus check.

If there’s going to be  a bailout valued at a trillion dollars or more,  bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

Would it work? What do you think? Would you be for or against such a plan?
