In his essay "Standing Tall: Three statues, three lessons" Randell Jones writes
about another type of heroic statue; one that commemorates the human spirit, and the things that constitute a life well-lived. The writing honors two individuals (an enslaved Black man named "York", Dr. Simon Green Atkins, a Black intellectual) and a regiment of Black African men born in bondage in Hayti, and conscripted as mercenaries/military recruits to fight in America's Revolutionary War.
"Philosophers offer that a sense of a life well-lived comes from having something to love, something to do and something to hope for. Those elements are represented in the stories of three notable people, each represented by a statue, all in the South."
—Randell Jones
The philosopher who posited that a life well-lived is one with love, hope, and opportunity is Aristotle. In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle discusses the concept of eudaimonia, which is often translated as “happiness” or “flourishing.” According to Aristotle, eudaimonia is the ultimate goal of human life and is achieved through living virtuously. He believed that a life well-lived is one in which individuals cultivate virtues such as love, hope, and opportunity, leading to a state of flourishing and fulfillment.
ASIDE: To his credit, on his deathbed, Aristotle confessed to his student that he had plagiarized some of his works from ancient Egyptian sources. This confession shed light on the irony of this essay, which attributes to "philosophers" , a sentiment which was likely passed on by Black Africans of Ancient Egypt, but adopted as Greek philosophy without attribution. In other words, the Greeks plagiarize liberally from Ancient Egyptians. Cultural appropriation is not exactly "the intellectual exchange between the two civilizations" that is represented by mainstream intelligentsia.
The essay is fine, until the extremely bigoted over simplification of the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804):
Randell's slapdash portrayal is the typical intellectual dishonesty we have come to expect from White historians (even in the effort to credit lost or little known Black historical figures!). To summarize the French military and it's Spanish, Polish and other European mercenary's defeat simply as: "Having lost 37,000 soldiers to yellow fever in Saint-Domingue [Hayti] and needing money for his war with Great Britain, in 1803, he offered to sell France’s Louisiana territory to the fledgling United States" is disrespectful, to say the least.
The Haitian Revolution was won for the freedom of enslaved people through the long-term planning[5], strategies and skill of its great soldiers/fighters (Makandal, Boukman, Toussaint, Dessalines, "Capois-La-Mort", Henri Christophe, Rigeau, Petion, Boyer... ) and brave women (Dahomey warriors, Victoria "Tante Toya" Montou), Cecile Fatima, Marie-Jeanne Lamartiniére, Suzanne Béliar, Marie Sainte Dédée Bazile, Catherine Flon...). It is an unconscionable injustice and beyond the pale (pun intended) to suggest otherwise.
[5](Cecile Fatima traveled to Plantations recruiting for the rebellion for two years before the 1791 Bwa Kayimen ceremony that launched the Haitian Revolution)
In this historical letter between Toussaint L'Ouverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines; Toussaint directs the strategical way to defeat the French army, and this is precisely how they were dispatched. The great François "Capois-La-Mort" Capois courage at the Battle of Vertières being a brilliant example of the bravery and courage of the Armée Indigène (Indigenous Army).
It is a deeply concerning matter to just lightly skip over the part where Blacks fought thirteen (13) years of battles and skirmishes, and suffered more casualties than the United States in WWI[1].
The obvious needs saying here; these casualties are estimates, and the Haitian casualties are most assuredly downplayed.
The Haitian Revolution casualties and losses:
Haitians: 350,000+ dead
France: 75,000+ dead
British: 45,000+ dead
Spain: [100,000+] /"heavy losses"[2]
[1] During World War I, the U.S. suffered a total of 116,516 military casualties.
[2] The exact number of deaths from Spain during the Haitian Revolution is not definitively documented. However, it is estimated that thousands of Spanish soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the conflict.
Speaking of "heavy losses"...
Randell Jones: "10% of the island’s 550,000 population were the white elites and the mixed-race merchants and tradesmen. Ninety percent of the population were enslaved people brutally forced to work to maximize their productivity before they died of yellow fever in a year or two and were easily replaced in a steady African slave trade."
At 90%, the total number of enslaved on Ayiti were 495,000. Over 350,000 died for freedom, that's a genocide of over 60% of the enslaved Black people.
General Jean-Jacques Dessalines of the self-titled Armée Indigène ("Indigenous Army") declared:
"Yes, we have rendered to these true cannibals war for war, crime for crime, outrage for outrage; yes, I have saved my country; I have avenged America." He named the new Black Republic "Hayti" after the indigenous name given by the Taino, including the Higüey, Mariéns, Caracole (Black Moors[4]), Xaragua, Maguá, and Maguána.
[4] Spain was one of the major powers involved in enslaving African people, the vast majority of enslaved Africans were sent to Spanish colonies in the Americas. Some enslaved Africans were Moorish. No good deed (civilization, liberal arts schools, cities and street planning, WINE...) goes unpunished.
Henri Christophe unfortunately plotted with the mixed race sons of France the assassination of Dessalines (he was sort of a despot), and deeply regretted this; so depression (and his rebellious subjects, joined in rebellion by members of his army) may have lead to his suicide.
Also, why shouldn't a King of Hayti live a comfortable life (especially a triumphant battle worn general and hero)? Why are you counting his money; to distract from his accomplishments? In his time, Henri Christophe built the The Palace of Sans-Souci and Fort Citadelle Laferiere[3], structures which still stand today as monuments to honor his triumphant achievements and Hayti's halcyon days of glory.
[3] (a mountaintop fortress, located on the northern coast of Haiti - considered one of the eight wonders of the world and designated by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1982)
Haiti declared its independence on January 1, 1804, becoming the first nation to permanently abolish slavery, 30 years before Great Britain, over 40 years before France, and more than 60 years before the US.
In the essay, we learn about the virtues of the enslaved "York", and by contrast, the petty jealousies of his enslaver William Clark: " upon the expedition’s return, Clark continued to enslave him as property. Through all the adventures and encounters with new people, York had changed immensely, but Clark not at all."

Boukman's Righteous Prayer
"The God who created the earth; who created the sun that gives us light. The God who holds up the ocean; who makes the thunder roar.
Our God who has ears to hear. You who are hidden in the clouds; who watch us from where you are. You see all that the white has made us suffer.
The white men's god asks him to commit crimes. But the God within us wants to do good. Our God, who is so good, so just, He orders us to avenge our wrongs. It's He who will direct our arms and bring us the victory. It's He who will assist us.
We all should throw away the image of the white men's god who is so pitiless. Listen to the voice for liberty that sings in all our hearts."
Boukman's Prayer at the Bwa Kayiman Vodun ceremony, the call to action that launched the Haitian Revolution, on August 14, 1791.
The basis for forcing an experimental gene therapy on everyone was that it would end the COVID pandemic by preventing infection and spread. Real-world reality has since proven this to be a false justification
Authoritarian rulers claim to act from deep concern for public health and the greater good of society. Historically, however, invoking "the greater good" principle has always been about disenfranchising citizens in order to consolidate and concentrate power
Throughout the pandemic, governments, employers, NGOs and media have argued that the social responsibility to "protect others" is so paramount that it negates all other considerations
But unless everyone has bodily autonomy, no one has bodily autonomy, and without it, everyone, including the most vulnerable, are put at risk. Hence, the rationale to "protect the vulnerable" falls apart unless everyone is allowed to make their own decisions
When everyone has to sacrifice themselves for others, then everyone's autonomy is violated — including that of the most vulnerable. The COVID vaccination campaign is a glaring example of this. Many who got the shots are still getting sick, many have been injured or died from the side effects, while those who refused to comply lost their jobs and, in some areas, can't even enter a store. Everyone has lost protection rather than gained it
Government officials, public health officials, media and a whole host of other talking heads that parrot official talking points have repeatedly lied to us. We knew this, but now — without apology — they're all starting to "admit" it by subtly changing the narrative.
As noted by comedian Jimmy Dore in the August 3, 2022, episode of "The Jimmy Dore Show" (video above):
"This story is very close to my heart, because it exonerates me. They've been lying about COVID, they've been lying about the vaccines, they've been lying about herd immunity, they've been lying about natural immunity, they've been lying about masks.
They've been lying about children — they've been lying about everything! Who'd have thunk the government and Big Pharma would lie to us? For profit? I am flummoxed. I am beside myself with slack-jawedness."
Now, They're Eating Their Own Words
He goes on to review specific examples, such as President Biden claiming "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." Or Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said "When they are vaccinated, they can feel safe they are not going to get infected."
Or Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who stated, "If you've done the right thing and gotten vaccinated, you deserve the freedom to be safe from COVID-19." (Word salad aside — can you "deserve freedom to be safe" from an infection? — nevertheless, he makes the point that you supposedly won't get COVID if you got the jab.)
Vice President Kamala Harris said, "If you are vaccinated, you are protected." Daniel Andrews, premier in Victoria, Canada, claimed that with three doses, you would be "prevented not only from serious illness, but from getting this virus, this Omicron variant, and therefore giving it to others."
Victoria chief health officer professor Brett Sutton, who got the AstraZeneca jab, insisted it was a "very effective vaccine" that reduced "risk of transmission."Every one of these officials has now contracted COVID, some two or three times.
Knew the Shots Were Leaky
A primary objection to vaccine mandates was, as Dore points out, that a leaky "vaccine" — one that doesn't actually prevent infection and spread — cannot protect anyone other than the one getting the shot. So, the argument that COVID jab refusers were killing people was false. The notion that getting the jab would protect people around you was rubbish.
"These were lies," Dore says, "they were not making a mistake. They were lying."
What's the incentive for lying about an injection that clearly cannot do what you say it can? Dore suggests they were lying on behalf of their donors — Pfizer, Moderna, et. al. Of course, the National Institutes of Health,1,2 for example, also owns patents related to these jabs, so they make money from them directly.
So, with the truth now being self-evident, why aren't media asking why Fauci, Biden, Harris, Trudeau and the rest were spreading misinformation? Where's the follow-up? And where are the apologies? Rachel Maddow, would you like to revise this proven-untrue statement, made on "The Rachel Maddow Show?"
"Instead of the virus being able to hop from person to person to person, spreading and spreading … now we KNOW that the vaccines work well enough; that the virus STOPS with every vaccinated person.
A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus can then not use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccination person as a host to get more people. That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this."
This propaganda did not age well, and that's putting it mildly. Now, they're trying to sidestep the landmines of truth — real-world realities — and claim that the shots were never intended to prevent infection, it was always about preventing serious illness and keeping you out of the hospital. But the statements quoted above, which is just a small sampling, prove otherwise.
The very basis and justification for forcing an experimental gene therapy on everyone was that it would end the pandemic by preventing infection and spread. People lost their jobs over that fraudulent justification. Friendships have been lost and family ties broken because people believed the propaganda that said if you don't get the shot, you don't care about others. Your very presence could be lethal to them. So, if you care about others, you will get the shot.
Do Authoritarians Care About You?
That brings us to a more important question, and that is, do these authoritarians actually care about any of us? They claim the reason for their actions is their deep concern for public health and the good of society. But is that really the case? Or is it just a PR strategy?
After all, coming out and saying you want to reduce the population by some percentage, or eliminate the financial drain by the elderly and the handicapped, isn't going to encourage compliance with the strategies intended to bring about those effects, is it. It would make more sense to tell people to comply "for their own good, and the good of others." Then, the intended effect — depopulation — is brought about by voluntary sacrifice.
Totalitarianism as 'Care'
In "Totalitarianism as 'Care,'"3 political commentator Elena Louisa Lange dissects the biomedical regime's moral imperative to "protect the vulnerable," which in 2020, for the first time, came to mean that everyone, regardless of personal risk, had to isolate, wear a mask and get an experimental gene therapy, "regardless of the price in bodily integrity and autonomy."
The left's pretense of 'protecting the vulnerable' is not only politically and socially corrosive. It also rests, philosophically, on an indefensible and authoritarian rationale. ~ Elena Louisa Lange
In a show of solidarity never before seen, hundreds of companies changed their logos and brand slogans to promote the COVID jabs. Political parties, schools, media, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) also told us to just get the jab — or else. The following extract from Lange's article is a bit longer than usual, but the expanded context is what makes Lange's point clear. Beyond this, I recommend reading her article in its entirety:4
"The rhetoric of 'vulnerability' and 'care' bullied the masses into accepting a string of human- and civil-rights violations, such as being imprisoned in our own homes, the oxymoronic 'social distancing,' masking, and, above all, mandated vaccinations unprecedented in their severity and global scale.
Yet the left's pretense of 'protecting the vulnerable' is not only politically and socially corrosive. It also rests, philosophically, on an indefensible and authoritarian rationale.
The exclusive attention given to the abstract framework of 'vulnerability' and 'solidarity,' 'community' and 'care' — always 'for others,' never for oneself — served to disguise the loss of income and psychological damage caused by large-scale civil-rights suspensions …
The idea of vulnerability as a guiding political principle of the left goes back to the birth of social-democratic and labor parties in the early 20th century. It was the working class that needed protection from the cruel vicissitudes of the market …
But since the emergence of the neoliberal consensus in the 1970s, a remarkable shift has taken place … It is no longer the working class … but specific identity groups, the racially marginalized and the sexually excluded, who became 'vulnerable subjects' …
What really cemented the PMC [professional-managerial class] left's rise to power, however, was a more fundamental epistemic shift. The left … usually busy declaring everything to be a 'social construct,' suddenly proclaimed the novel coronavirus to be a 'natural phenomenon,' a 'challenge by uncontrollable natural forces' … the virus was to be seen as a self-acting agent with its own subjective intent, motives, even political agenda.
This fetishistic inversion — ascribing autonomous powers to a lifeless thing — legitimated technocratic solutions like lockdowns and the feverishly promoted mass vaccinations, no matter the social costs. Moreover, turning the virus into an intentional agent shifted the blame for suicides and domestic violence, the loss of income, and extreme police violence against protesters, away from the politicians and bureaucrats, and onto 'nature.'
A pathogen … is only as severe as the social response to it. If the response, justified as an 'objective constraint' of the virus, is more lethal than the cause, then we are dealing with a disastrous fallacy …
'[V]ulnerability' in the PMC's imagination had to be shifted from vulnerable groups in the precise sense (the elderly, children, precarious service workers, etc.) to an undifferentiated whole under constant attack from the enemies of civil society, which happened to be the professionals' own political enemies.
This move conveniently enabled the identification of the 'fight against the virus' with the 'fight against fascism,' conflating questions of medical hygiene with those of 'social hygiene.'
The vocal denunciation of critics of the biopolitical security state as 'right-wingers,' conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, and so on was only legible, and consequential, against the backdrop of this conflation, for it put the question of the defeat of the virus on par with the victory of the left."
Transhistorical Rationale of Civil-Rights Violations
How are "vulnerable" people "protected" by the destruction of lives and livelihoods, and the removal of basic civil rights and Constitutional freedoms? Our authoritarian leaders have yet to explain this self-defeating rationale. All we get is Orwellian double-speak, where war is peace and slavery is freedom.
Lange points out that once you go beyond political motives, the argument against forced vaccinations tells us a lot about the transhistorical rationale of civil-rights violations by the state.
Throughout history, the driving objective of power-hungry elites is the disenfranchisement of ordinary citizens. And how do you disenfranchise people? By taking away basic rights, such as the right to drink a cup of coffee or eat a meal you're willing and able to pay for in a restaurant, lest you first submit to medical experimentation.
And how do you get people to submit to medical experimentation? By shaming them as egotists who care nothing for society. In a fiery speech, 23-year-old Green Member of the German Bundestag, Emilia Fester (quoted in full by Lange), argued that:
"It is not mandated vaccination that is the imposition, but no mandated vaccination — an imposition for the solidarity-based majority … Getting vaccinated can no longer be an individual decision!"5
Violation of Physical Boundaries Protects No One
Throughout the pandemic, governments, employers, NGOs and media have argued that the social responsibility to "protect others" is so paramount that it negates all other considerations. According to them, one individual's freedom and bodily autonomy ends where the freedom and autonomy of another begins.
Rather than being sovereign individuals who make decisions for ourselves, we are to view ourselves as links in a never-ending chain, where every decision you make will impact the people around you, and if your decision has even so much as the potential to restrict their freedom and autonomy — such as, for example, if you make them sick so they can't work or socialize — then you "don't have the right" to make that decision.
As noted by Lange, the moral imposition can be summarized as: "Give up your bodily integrity to protect the bodily integrity of others." But rather than protecting others, the end result is the opposite, because it creates "infinite regress."
In other words, if I give up my bodily integrity for you, then you have to give up yours for others, who also have to give up theirs, and so on. So, in the end, no one has the right to, ever, say no to anything, even if what's asked might cause injury or death.
Since there's no backstop, and everyone has to sacrifice themselves for others, no one is actually protected. Instead, everyone's at risk. Everyone's autonomy has been violated — including that of the most vulnerable. The COVID vaccination campaign is a glaring example of this.
Many who got the shots are still getting sick, many have been injured or died from the side effects, while those who refused to comply lost their jobs and, in some areas, can't even enter a store. Everyone has lost rather than gained, and in more ways than one.
Bodily Integrity for All Is the Best Protection
Not only does the demand of self-sacrifice for others put the most vulnerable at risk of injury and death, since they too must roll the dice with risky medical interventions in order to "protect others," but it also eliminates our moral ability to defend and protect the physical autonomy of others. If we cannot defend our own boundaries, how can we defend the boundaries of others?
Sadly, we now have real-world examples of where this all leads. Children and adults in need of organ transplants, for example, are being denied life-saving procedures for lack of COVID injection, even though the shot is more likely to kill them than protect anyone around them (supposedly the already COVID-jabbed and boosted hospital staff). We've entered a state of such massive moral degradation that it hardly seems human anymore.
The only way to actually protect people and minimize harm is by allowing everyone to do what they think is best for themselves. As noted by Lange:6
"In consequence, either there is general physical autonomy for each and every single individual, implying mutual respect for one's physical boundaries, or there is none. The violation of physical boundaries … is never in the interest of the 'vulnerable,' because the protection of bodily integrity itself is already the best guarantee for the protection of 'others,' as well as oneself: It is, in fact, the only guarantee of physical protection for everyone.
This becomes even more apparent in the COVID case when we consider that the vaccinated can be infected and can infect others, and, therefore, potentially hurt them. In this sense, the logical framework for COVID mass vaccinations in the name of 'vulnerability' is self-defeating."
'Social Care' Narrative Is About Consolidation of Power
One of the key take-home messages in Lange's article is that this "social care" and "responsibility for others" paradigm is a ploy used to consolidate power.
In her words:7
"In sum, the claim to 'protect the vulnerable' is the more or less direct demand to yield to political disenfranchisement under the guise of the honorable project of care … The left's political project of 'protecting the vulnerable' is nothing short of window-dressing authoritarianism."
The authoritarians don't actually care about people and their health. Anyone can realize this simply by analyzing their actions, rather than their words. They care about controlling people as a means to gain more power. Of course, the more power they get, the more they need to control you, lest you rise up and strip them of that power.
The hallmark call of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes is to "serve the greater good" by sacrificing selfhood. Everything is about the collective. There's no room for individuality. In my interview with psychologist Mattias Desmet, he explains the psychology of totalitarianism, and the conditions that precede the rise of totalitarian systems.
The same "care" narrative is also being used to prop up the "climate emergency." We're now told we have to sacrifice our standard of living because we have a responsibility for others and for the earth. We have to rein in our personal carbon footprint because pollution is deadly, and if you don't, you're — again — responsible for widespread death.
While pollution is a reality that needs to be addressed, the solutions the totalitarian cabal is offering is a gigantic scam designed to disempower and control everyone but the ones at the very top of the power pyramid, while accomplishing little in terms of producing a cleaner environment.
Dominicans publicly beating a Haitian man they had tied to a street pole.
Have you peeped the new game the genocidal colonist are playing? They've teamed up with their little poodle puppets in the DR.
They're now claiming that Ayiti and Haytians are part of "Latin America." Best laugh yet: we are "Latin-ex. "
By that logic Californians are Mexican and New Englanders in places named after indian tribes (Ex. Abnaki · Hammonassett · Mahican · Mattabesset · Mi'kmaq · Mohegan · Montauk · Natick) are now to be known as "Native Americans." 🙃
Read this story and recall where part of the world's oldest known meteor landed and the country it ((was)) located in - hint: Ayiti.
This is the big headline: an astronomer is hunting for treasure on the ocean floor (I know! - it's not what you and I might think.)
Meanwhile, there was ((or is)) a big meteor rock sitting in Haiti from the break up of the Pangaea, and the US has taken it apart and stolen it (for the iridium) without a peep out of the US imbedded corporate media, because to mention the name of the brave long-suffering freedom fighters of Hayti, will (evidently) turn a fake-ass journalist to solid salt stone... well, they're "stone cold" to start; so makes a lot of sense.
White people: "discovering" things that exist: people, cultures, lands, resources, inventions, and knowledge, then having the unmitigated gall to appropriate it all... since at least the most recent 6k years or so.
Candidate Joe Biden: if you don't vote for me, "then you ain't Black."
In a May 22, 2020 interview on "the Breakfast Club,” U.S. Presidential candidate Joe Biden said to host Charlamagne Tha God, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Charlamagne responded by saying “it has nothing to do with Trump,” but that rather “I want something for my community.”
Fast-forward to December 2020 after his selection: Biden was caught on secretly recorded audio distainfully raising his voice to lecture Black leaders (as one would a child) about his inability to issue executive orders for fear of overstepping "legal bounds of executive action and use it in lieu of legislation" on the issues of civil rights; that include police brutality/misconduct and ending the police "qualified immunity" legal doctrine.
Shamefully, the "black misleadership class had backed him without regard for his very murky record on civil rights, and sketchy history of lying to get votes.
In November 2020 the legacy media reported that Biden was elected by a popular vote record; more votes than any prior U.S. president in history.
Actually, Biden intended to use his executive powers. Biden assumed office on January 20, 2021; THE EXECUTIVE ORDER to "protect" explicitly trans, and generally LGBTQ+ rights was issued January 20, 2021.
Sarcasm alert: wait, according to Biden, all succeeding presidents are now gonna feel compelled to grab more, more and more power; where does it end?
To date the Biden administration is still relentlessly seeking to have gender males, who are often dressed and made up as women, invade and destroy female sports.
Empty gestures, signifying nothing gained
The Black Community got zero support, but Biden rewarded his supporter base, which include the well-heeled Black wealth class and the politically astute LGBTQ+ with plenty of disposable cash (Pink Money).
Since the selection, Biden hired a couple of Black women, notably Ketanji Brown Jackson won her nomination to the Supreme Court and "an out gay woman" Karine Jean-Pierre is now White House Spokesperson.
How has African-American Clarence Thomas being ushered into a lifelong job on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in 1991 (by his mentor Biden) advanced Black civil rights?
Nada: It's done nothing.
Joe Biden led the hammering and shaming of Anita Hill, implying that she was a desperate for love lonely single unattractive woman seeking attention. It took courage for Ms Hill to come forward to describe (very graphically) how Clarence Thomas violated her right to a harassment free workplace during Thomas' nomination hearing. Yet, Joe Biden's mea culpa (his was a meaningless gesture) came decades later in 2019, coincidentally when his presidential campaign run was starting. For Professor Hill; it came too late. Anita Hill: "I'm Sorry" is not enough.
Related: the SCOTUS just collectively ruled that police are exempted from reading people their Miranda rights.
In America, Black people in particular (who are often targeted and over-policed) are not likely to hear Clarence Thomas' dissenting opinion on this set-back for victims of police misconduct and violations of their civil rights. Thomas is dedicated to "radical" right-wing politics, like Biden's good friend, avowed racist and segregationist Strom Thurmond.
The immoral minority
One might assume that Miguel Cardona's job as U.S. Secretary of Education prioritizes education and learning skills like: reading, writing and arithmetic, but search him out on the internets and between his denouncing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for the "don't say gay" law; trips to Florida to tell LGBTQ kids: Got your back; it's not difficult to tell what his overriding "not-at-all-secret agenda" is.
"Our proposed changes will allow us to continue that progress and ensure all our nation's students -- no matter where they live, who they are, or whom they love -- can learn, grow and thrive in school."
—Miguel Cardona [pronoun: unknown], Education Secretary
While in Florida, did Secretary Cardonna squeeze in a trip to Walt Disney World to touch base on their shared "not-at-all secret gay agenda?"
The tipping point in the culture wars...
Disney's Animation director Latoya Raveneau, explains that the leadership of Disney "has been so welcoming to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda."
Disney lost their tax status as an "independent" country in Florida because of their active and stated gay agenda; designed to indoctrinate kids.
Mickey and Minnie are in muskeTEARS over it. Sarcasm alert: you see, Minnie's pronoun is "they."
Finally, it's not that most people don't support the right to be gay, gender neutral or even to TRY and change the gender you were born with, or to adopt whatever lifestyle you want as a law abiding consenting adult, but don't "drag" us into it. More importantly, don't try to "drag" our kids into your weird shitshow. That's it.

In this CGTN documentary, the brutally cynical, cruel and chaotic legacy of the North American (USA) empire's crimes against humanity are laid out in the words of its prominent NATO/West; military, political, academic, NGO, and other insider figures.
Also presented are select heart-wrenching testimonials from the point-of-view of some of their innocent civilian or framed (planted false evidence and witnesses) victims* from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya to Yemen.
The warmongering pursuit of absolute power and control over the global economy and geopolitics is unrelenting.
* Surely, it is fair to count those leaders targeted for regime change as well, including Castro, Perón, Allende, Aristide, Hugo, Hussein, Gaddafi, Gbagbo, Assad... right up to Pakistan's Imran Khan among the victims of the globalist plutocrats?
And why not include the regime changes within the axis of evil; like Lincoln, Kennedy; and didn't Smedley Butler prevent the corporate coup against President Franklin D. Roosevelt?
Who else was targeted — Donald "Russian Asset" Trump? Did Trump pose a hinderance to the Ukraine proxy war agenda? If one wants to find it; there is good evidence of this.
Russia and China issued a joint statement in February (here).
The statement is the antithesis of United States hegemony, which wages endless wars, regime change operations, drone warfare, assassinations, weapons proliferation, funds bioweapons labs, and intervenes all over the world on behalf of banksters, corporatocracies, billionaire oligarchs, while never facing accountability for its crimes against humanity.
Not even the heavens are immune from the warmongers base motivations and nefarious operations: for they intend to level up their "policing" game to a "Star Wars" militarized operation.

231 year Anniversary —
August 22, 1791 to August 22, 2022.
Hayti's cholera case against the US and its criminal proxy occupation army, the UN, was a non-starter. It was brought forward (against the UN) by left gatekeepers Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), but did you know: Nicaragua is alone in winning a court case against the "evil-doers" of US empire?
"The Republic of Nicaragua v. The United States of America (1986)[2] was a case where the International Court of Justice (ICJ) held that the U.S. had violated International law by supporting the Contras in their rebellion against the Sandinistas and by mining Nicaragua's harbors. The case was decided in favor of Nicaragua and against the United States with the awarding of reparations to Nicaragua."
"The U.S. also blocked enforcement of the judgment by the United Nations Security Council and thereby prevented Nicaragua from obtaining any compensation.[4] Nicaragua, under the later, post-FSLN government of Violeta Chamorro, withdrew the complaint from the court in September 1992 following a repeal of the law which had required the country to seek compensation.[5]"
No justice, no peace.
Now, Nicaragua has allowed Russia to stage military manuevers for the first time ever on its territory.
Nicaragua and other rebellious states have sparked a boycott of Biden's "Summit of the Americas."
Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua weren't invited, so the presidents of Mexico and Honduras, Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Xiomara Castro respectively, have skipped the event.
History shows that most empires decline and fall sooner or later. The US is succuming to this decline a lot sooner than most in just 246 years, since "the Declaration of Independence" from England.
The greatest uprising ever, which lead to the first ever successful enslaved rebellion in the known history of the world; as described by the Encyclopedia Brittanica: "The revolution was actually a series of conflicts during the period 1791–1804 that involved shifting alliances of Haitian slaves, affranchis, mulattoes, and colonists, as well as British and French army troops."
The British will lay claim to first having abolished slavery (the same empty gesture the French signalled on Feb. 4, 1794, when the British threatened their slave colonies), but often neglect to mention having suffered 50k in military casualties at the hands of the barefoot soldiers of Hayti, before their change of heart on the matter of chattel slavery.
The British held part of the island until their withdrawal from Saint Domingue (Hayti) in 1798.
When did the British abolish slavery? The Slavery Abolition Act 1833, was the UK law which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire.
Meanwhile, Biden maybe should have invited China, who's influence in the Americas is rising.

The other other elephant in the room that never gets addressed when discussing the prevalence of mass shootings in 'murica: the cowboy culture of violence; where the "exceptionalism" of the USA makes it A-ok to have different rules (no accountability) for their criminals and illegal actions in the world. Especially, in the proliferation of armed violence, weapons sales, preemptive wars, and mass genocide. Evidently, that topic is to be ignored, and by default is taboo.
Thoughts, emotions and a variety of environmental factors play into the manifestation of violence, but mental illness by itself cannot account for the massive rise in mass murder — unless you include antidepressants in the equation. Yet even when mental health does enter the mass shooter discussion, the issue of antidepressants, specifically, is rarely mentioned.
The fact is, depression per se rarely results in violence. Only after antidepressants became commonplace did mass shootings take off, and many mass shooters have been shown to be on antidepressants."

The Pfizer Document Dump
FDA said it needed 75 years to release Pfizer covid vaccine safety data. A judge gave them 8 months.
• Safety and Efficacy
Pfizer-BioNTech (hereafter referred to as "Pfizer") just released its Annual Report to the SEC. In it there are troubling revelations. The company says that profitability this year could be impacted by the Covid vaccine's safety, efficacy and the medical community. Therefore, Pfizer says quote:
"We may not be able to demonstrate sufficient efficacy or safety of our COVID-19 vaccine to obtain permanent regulatory approval in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or other countries where it has been authorized for emergency use or granted conditional marketing approval."
NOTE: Pfizer's blunt assessment of risks is attributable to the fact that they can be sued by their investors, but have immunity from lawsuits by the vaccine injured.
Last year, Pfizer withdrew its application for emergency-use authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine in India. The company failed to meet India’s demand for a local safety and immunogenicity study. India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organization has stated concerns of side effects resulting from the vaccine abroad.
Pfizer said in a statement to Reuters approximately one year ago regarding its failure to gain approval for use in India:
"Based on the deliberations at the meeting and our understanding of additional information that the regulator may need, the company has decided to withdraw its application [in India] at this time."
Pfizer markets its vaccine as Comirnaty (same Emergency Use Authorized drug, but going by different name) in the U.S. in order to escape regulation and legalities associated with an EUA drug. It's complicated: see explanation by a law firm here.
A court has said: FDA Approval of Comirnaty is not interchangeable with Pfizer's EUA COVID Vaccine, and mandating an EUA drug breaks US law.
Major law firm confirms FDA deceived America with its ‘approval’ of Pfizer vax | Principia Scientific Intl.
There’s only one problem. The “approval” given by the FDA was not for the Pfizer jab currently available in the U.S. market.
FDA ‘playing bait and switch’ with Americans, tricking them into believing shots currently being offered have been granted full approval when they have not.
• Governments give it away free
Is there a cost to the vaccine? If so, what is the price?
The federal government is providing the vaccine at no cost. Walmart’s fee to administer the vaccine will be billed to private insurance or the federal government.
• Only emergency use approved(EUA)—pending unethical testing on millions for adverse events(VAERS)
Mandating an EUA drug breaks US law - Judge Allen Winsor acknowledged that EUA vaccines can not be mandated by the Department of Defense (DOD).
Americans have been told by Pfizer, the FDA and the Media, that the Pfizer COVID vaccine was licensed; they therefore assumed that COVID vaccine mandates are lawful, but the Pfizer’s EUA-authorized Vaccine is legally distinct from Pfizer FDA approval of the Comirnaty COVID Vaccine.
Pfizer SEC filing safety disclosure:
"Our COVID-19 vaccine was granted emergency use authorization in the United States and the United Kingdom, and conditional marketing approval in the European Union, in December 2020, followed by emergency or limited use authorization in a number of other countries and approval for use in certain other countries."
5.5 [Pfizer] Purchaser Acknowledgement.
Purchaser acknowledges that the Vaccine and materials related to the Vaccine, and their components and constituent materials are being rapidly developed due to the emergency circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be studied after provision of the Vaccine to Purchaser under this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known. Further, to the extent applicable, Purchaser acknowledges that the Product shall not be serialized.
Businesses coerced workers to take the jab
Thousands have been forced to take the vaccines as a condition of employment. Thousands have been forced out and fired from their jobs for refusing to comply with the mandate that they take the vaccine as a condition of employment.
Many of the vaccinated are now regretting having complied because of either ill health now or due to the realization that these vaccines may be risky in the long-term, and have made such statements on social media, including on Twitter.
"... thousands of Americans no doubt capitulated and went ahead and rolled up theirs sleeves, thinking they had no other choice legally than to succumb to their employers’ mandates.Today, on Aug. 27, the Orlando, Florida-based Liberty Counsel, perhaps the most respected Christian legal firm in the nation, issued a press release that confirms... "FDA ‘playing bait and switch’ with Americans, tricking them into believing shots currently being offered have been granted full approval when they have not."

I think that in light of these facts, it is imperative that Twitter reinstate the accounts it has censored and banned because their censors are not only biased (*), but they are wrong about the jab. It is going to be a dark day for the fascist when these truths as outlined here come to light.
Most Americans support the stated mission of tolerance for open and honest conversation in the "public square," as verbalized by Elon Musk in his bid to take over Twitter. Obviously, Musk thinks he can add value to a failing monolith, which has become a symbol of a crumbling and divided American empire. Let's hope he can also make Twitter a censorship free platform conducive to healthy exchanges; the sharing of differing opinions and the advancement of real democratic values.

@Picardcaptain7
Why this crappy Live Science article from 2014 is not taken down and not disavowed is emblematic of what is wrong with the medical industrial complex, particularly their compliance and enslavement to big pharma.
"Niacin, or vitamin B3, is too dangerous and should not be used routinely by people looking to control their cholesterol levels or prevent heart disease, doctors say. The warning comes following recent evidence showing the vitamin does not reduce heart attacks or strokes, and instead is linked to an increased risk of bleeding, diabetes and death."
"The results were presented prior to publication last year, after which the manufacturer of the niacin medication used in the study, Merck & Co., said it would stop selling the drug."
How did this drug get on the market without a large scale study? Is 1 in 200 deaths an "acceptable risk?" Does the FDA issue approval for drugs which haven't been thoroughly studied for adverse side-effects? If this is the road travelled to these emergency use authorizations (EUA) for the experimental SARS-COV-2 "vaccines", FDA approval has become something like a non sequitur; meaningless.
In my layman's opinion, it doesn't even make sense to remove the flush with a drug. The flush is beneficial. It signifies that certain metabolic reactions, like blood circulation improving are happening.
THE DRUG: "The Merck drug was a combination of niacin and laropiprant, a drug that prevents the facial flushing that can be caused by high doses of niacin."
Translation: Merck was genetically engineering a beneficial nutrient, into a chimeric GMO drug. It's version was causing 1 out of 200 patients prescribed the drug to die; others develop diabetes, were hospitalized with diabetes, and were "more likely than people taking a placebo to experience liver problems, infections and bleeding in various body areas including the stomach, intestines and brain."
Merck's laropiprant was dangerous, but they escaped liability for deaths, hospitalizations and the worsened health of people. The medical professionals who did this study, the writer/journalist* at LiveScience (and other complicit publications), and the "expert" doctor they consulted**, who downplayed Merk's culpability helped them get away with it.

Meanwhile, to recommend scrapping a nutrient that has beneficial "science proven" applications, studied thoroughly and published for decades for "improved heart, skin, eye, and brain health" is reprehensible.

"The patients in this study had previous history of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, or diabetes mellitus with evidence of symptomatic coronary disease. The side effects observed in those who took the laropiprant-niacin combination were serious and included an increase in total mortality as well as significant increases in the risk for developing diabetes.

Salk's polio vaccine caused 1000s of polio cases, with 200 kids left paralyzed and 10 dead.
What is often ignored is that, although Americans lived in fear of the dreaded disease nicknamed “infantile paralysis,” and polio was the most feared disease of the 20th century, it was not the deadliest. Ten times as many kids died in accidents and three times as many to cancer.
It surely didn't help matters that a prominent American had been struck down with polio. Future president Franklin D. Roosevelt, got the disease in 1921 at the age of 39 and was left partially paralyzed and used a wheelchair during his presidency.
The narrative goes that polio occurrences were sporadic and low and "major" polio epidemics were unknown before the 20th century. In the 1900s was when "major" epidemics began to occur in Europe. Soon after, it is claimed that widespread epidemics appeared in the United States. By 1910, frequent epidemics became regular events throughout the developed world primarily in cities during the summer months.
Disease inducing viruses festering during the summer months; should there have been a concern for hygiene; or the need to stay clean and dry? Institutions back then had a poor understanding about the impact of catchy phrases like; "Wear, Wait, Wash" or "Hands. Face. Space."
At polio's peak in 1952, there were 58,000 new cases reported in the U.S., more than 3,000 (5.2%) died and over 21,000 (36.2%) had varying degrees of paralysis.
For perspective—influenza or "the seasonal flu" kills about 19,000 Americans in an average year.
The Salk polio vaccine contained formaldehyde: Salk's “killed-virus” vaccine was made by growing samples of the virus and then deactivating them by adding formaldehyde.
Jonas Salk also tackled influenza (in 1938 using fertilized chicken eggs a method that is still used today). His flu vaccine is still in use today. For the 2020-21 flu season, the CDC expects 81% of the vaccine supply to be egg-based.
Covid virus has been reportedly mutating, with "more contagious" variants or strains making appearances in South Africa*, Spain, U.K. and Brazil. Is this a similar pattern as the "seasonal flu?" If so, should we be concerned about the verity of the glowing reports on the 62-94% vaccine efficacy against the virus?
* A large round of human trials took place in South Africa, locally managed by the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg—a Gates-funded institution.
The claims of efficacy rate for Covid vaccines:
Novavax—96%, Pfizer—94%, Moderna—94%, J&J—72%, AstraZeneca—62%. The U.S. is the most vaccinated country in the world, counterintuitively it has the highest number of Covid cases, and the highest fatality rate.
Worldwide number of reported cases total 136,782,060. Top three countries with the most Covid cases and deaths as of April 12, 2021, by the numbers are:
#1 USA (pop. 332,510,877) — 31,922,097 (d. 575,851)
#2 India (pop. 1,390,530,992) — 13,527,717 (d. 170,209)
#3 Brazil (pop. 213,732,948)— 13,482,543 (d. 353,293)
Death rate percent for top three countries
USA — 0.17318260539188% or 0.17%
India — 0.012240575792934% or 0.012%
Brazil — 0.16529646145151% or 0.17%
The concerning side-effects of these vaccines up to and including death are mostly discounted by health authorities as unrelated anomalies, with rare instances of doctors, health experts and activists voicing healthy opposition to the unapproved vaxpricks.
The CDC's list of common side-effects, include tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever and nausea. However, some have been visited with more severe symptoms, like facial paralysis or bells palsy, brain blood clots, severe allergy, vasovagal syncope (fainting) pulmonary embolism, and anaphylaxis.
Polio Vaccine's historic impact
In July 1952, Salk tested his vaccine on 43 children at two Pittsburgh institutions, and later injected himself and his family.
The guinea pigs were children from the Arsenal Elementary School and the D.T. Watson Home for Crippled Children in Pittsburgh.
When a larger clinical trial commenced in the summer of 1954. The Salk vaccine clinical trial in was the biggest public health EXPERIMENT in U.S. history for it's time. It involved vast numbers of health professionals and over 1.8 million schoolchildren were volunteered by desperate parents.
Bill and Melinda Gates in Africa—vaccines that cause polio.
Polio cases today are extremely rare (no new cases had been reported in all of Africa since 2016!), but in Africa and India respectively, the UN and Indian doctors report that new cases of infantile paralysis or polio have resulted from an oral polio vaccine developed with strong support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
In 2014, the Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association became suspicious of the vaccines they were receiving from Gates and company and sent multiple batches to be tested.
Researchers discovered that the vaccines that were being administered to 2.3 million African girls were full of HCG, an antigen that causes miscarriages and sterilization.
In India, Gates Foundation backed human trials of the HPV, Cervarix and Gardisil vaccines making guinea pigs out of remote tribal children. These vaccines are for sexually transmitted diseases, which is 100% preventable if girls don’t have unprotected sex.
In Andhra Pradesh, India, the authorities say five children died immediately after receiving a Gardisil shot and many more became violently ill. In another village, two children died, and hundreds were hospitalized after receiving the HPV vaccine.
When the accolades are written, little if anything is ever said about the 200,000 people who were injected with a tainted batch of the Salk vaccine causing 1000s of polio cases, with 200 kids left paralyzed and 10 dead.
"Today polio has almost been eradicated." —Amanda Uren (Mashable)
The Polio hysteria of the 50s is recalled with horror to this day. But it is way overshadowed by the global experiment ("The Plandemic" or "The Great Reset") that is SARS-CoV-2 of 2019-2020-2021.
Regardless of proven efficacy (these rushed vaccines are not sufficiently tested or FDA approved) — here come the "big pharma" money grab. Whether the Vaccines are effective is questionable, given the history: diseases such as measles, rubella, pertussis and scarlet fever, were all declining in numbers before the introduction of vaccines.
Why aren't natural cures ever sought, as was the case with scurvy, which is bought on by a lack of Vitamin C? We all know the answer to that.
Maybe look into why a country like Haiti, African countries (notable exception is S. Africa—site of a large Covid clinical trial), and other exceptional countries DON'T get the virus in significant numbers? Are we even seeing the reportedly significant numbers? During the lockdown—and even now—a lot of other illnesses tended to be attributed to covid, when they are not (follow the money incentives to label illnesses during lockdown as Covid). The other concerns are for the false positives, the covid vaccine causing covid in some instances, and other extenuating factors: People wonder; why are the flu numbers down so much during the flu season? One ironic (sarcastic) reason given —the flu cures covid—seems far fetched.
Interesting historical data revealed by Robert F. Kennedy of Children's Defense Fund—suggests that diseases like measles, scarlet fever, pertussis, and tuberculosis all declined before the introduction of vaccines.
"Thus, vaccination does not account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century."
—CDC Study 2010
"The [flu] vaccine must be changed each year, in hopes of matching the ever-mutating viruses. And that’s been a challenge. On average, it’s been 40% effective, meaning it’s prevented illness 40% of the time."
—WebMD's Debbie Koenig (Sept. 2, 2020)
Go fo yourself a favor, check out the thorough research at Global Cooperative, where they conclude that:
"Vaccines are dangerous poisons that destroy the immune system. This is simply true, based on all actual scientific and medical evidence. There is essentially no notable independent evidence (scientifically, medically, or otherwise) that suggests any valid reason to even occasionally (let alone regularly) inject the poisons known as “vaccines” into the human body. Significant numbers of independent studies (not bought and paid for by Big Pharma) are in agreement that vaccines pose many and significant dangers to health."
Herds are cattle, not people—that's the issue with the—we must "gain herd immunity" mantra.
It's significant that now we have the beginnings of some "great awakening" in the MSM, but is 60 Minutes featuring some kind of "exposé" of their go to pandemic expert, Fauci? No, they're on the Chinese connection and ignoring any involvement by Fauci's NIH or the U.S. government.
The Hill- Lab-Leak Hypothesis Could Reveal EPIC Screwup Of US, Fauci AND China
Link: https://youtu.be/zbKll37uA5U
We knew about Fauci—Newsweek shocked U.S. with the facts a year ago! His NIH funded "gain-of-function" animal/bat viruses experiments at the Wuhan lab in China; AFTER they were outlawed in the U.S.! Turns out the U.S. was in cahoots with China: they both participate in dangerous experiments that endangered their unsuspecting citizens.
Newsweek: The Controversial Experiments and Wuhan Lab Suspected of Starting the Coronavirus Pandemic
Related: need to mention here that some of the manufacturing work that left the states for China involved work with dangerous chemicals that, when inhaled, touched or breached into the environment, can sicken and kill impoverished working people in these sweat shop factories.
This is the pattern: after they accomplish their great reset (regime change, resource war, gandsta capitalism, false flags...), then they reveal the truth behind their propagandist talking points, global shell game and Matrix hijinx. We all know the MSM is a tool of empire.
The good news: we may see this manufactured #Plandemic end soon- although they've addressed all the issues the oligarchy were looking to address:
- the retail apocalypse
- mechanization with robotic workers—CVS' cashiers are gone! They've rolled out robot driven trucks and cars.
- digital currencies—crypto: bitcoin, tokens, NFTs, app based banking from—not banks.
- normalizing mass vaccination
- massive expansion of government with the partial or complete ownership of failing private businesses
- expanded social programs (it's not all bad)
- legalizing marijuana (outlawed because a man testified to Congress that it drove negroes crazy and made white women want Black men — on God.)
....etc
As noted: there's been an exponential growth of dependence on government programs—a surveillance gold mine. The Great Reset is destined to be a celebrated success in the historical narrative of the "Ministry of Information." There's talk of infrastructure overhaul, flying cars, renewable energy, drone delivery to your door, whitey on the moon, white on mars... etc.
What we lost in the fire will be a footnote, just like the polio scare before it; put simply—the further erosion of our freedoms... we see your vaccine passports —the Neo Prison Industrial Complex.
Candidate: Change you can believe in
President: "You must create the change
that you want to see"
Obama earned the term: "Deporter-in-Chief," which makes him arguably just as toxic as Trump on immigration. True, he had more social skills, swagger and looked charismatic while screwing his base. You know, the people who trusted him when he said he would "change the mindset that got us into Iraq."
His actions were very ugly and consequences are long-term and devastating for the U.S. and the world.
The Patriot Act reauthorized. Guantanamo Bay still open. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was the worst - allows for unbridled surveillance/warrantless wiretapping. It essentially guts the Bill of Rights.
The bait and switch: Offers may be subject to change without notice
Obama made deals with pharmaceuticals in secret, while promising transparency during his campaign.
He could have passed single-payer in his first year when he had the house and senate votes, but didn't. He also chose to use Republican Mitt Romney's healthcare plan (RomneyCare), originally think-thought by conservatives at The American Enterprise Institute and The Heritage Foundation.
This line is a catch-all for all occasions when people want you to keep your campaign promises - call it ObamaDontCare: "Leaders will not take risks if the people do not push them to take some risks."
A rare moment: Barack Obama
swims against the tide.
He was bought and paid for: Wikileaks revealed his cabinet was picked by execs at Citigroup.
He was just as warmongering as his predecessors and started more wars and preemptive invasions (Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen...). He went along with France invading the Ivory Coast to install Nicolas Sarkozy's pal and former IMF deputy manager, Alassane Ouattara. The colonizer propaganda from his State Department Spokesperson was thick. Imagine, Russia invading to install Al Gore as president instead of George W. Bush during the whole Florida hanging chads thing.
Rather, Bush was installed by his dad's pals on the Supreme Court and the angry yuppies in khakis or Brooks Brother Riot. Some called it a coup - just sayin'.
He continued the UN occupation of Haiti...(more on that below). He lectured Africa about blaming the West for their failings, while literally kissing ass in Europe and Asia.
Destroyed Libya by humanitarian bombing it to hell and causing the horribly graphic video rape murder of Muammar Gaddafi (to Hillary's delight). It opened the African migrant floodgate to Europe (as Gaddafi predicted). Libya became a depraved, chaotic haven for sex traffickers and slave markets. The news was good for the banksters though: the first thing the savvy "rebels" did before the first NATO bombs had even fallen was to create a Central Bank - so thousands died and are suffering for it, a win for them. The globalist moneymen were not having that African currency or gold standard Gaddafi was advocating... free market means slavery to the bank cartels - read the small print!
Obama hired warmonger Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State (top diplomatic post *giggles*). He assigned the Bubba's to run Haiti Relief (worth repeating: Henry Kissinger wasn't available?).
On his one visit to Haiti, Bush proceeded to shake hands with a Haitian in the crowd and wipe it on Bill Clinton's shirt -- aptly signifying his contempt for Haiti and his racist nature in one fluid move captured by the cameras. HillBilly ran Haiti as their personal piggy-bank and continued the destructive USAID/NGOs/sweatshop/privatization death plan.
Militarization - done: NGOs are a "force multipliers" for us, Colin Powell
Rigging elections - check: "You do nice elections," said Hillary Clinton's shyster lawyer Cheryl Mills
Stealing resources - caching! Recruit Hollywood to attend the opening of sweatshop on land stolen from the locals (yeah, we know there's gold in them thar hills), the usual pay-to-play schemes and their Shady Foundation.
Obama was on board all the way and corrupt himself. Look, he got his reward with giant speaking fees/engagements at the end of his tenure as president. The perks included a sorjourn on billionaire Richard Branson of Virgin airline's luxury yacht. The Obamas chilled with George Clooney and spent quality time with that famous couple: Oprah and Gayle on David Geffen's yacht - gangsta!
Let's be clear, Obama was more able to further the insidious recolonization of Africa using AFRICOM and enlisting DC's "strongmen." The U.S. oligarchs got further with him as the face of imperialism, then they could of with a Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, or a George W. Bush and his jerky dance moves.
Obama never fought to end the Iraq mindset, not at all; he refused to prosecute George W. Bush and his cynical cabal of war criminals.
Joe Biden & Barack Obama share a laugh.
"Many fine people who continue to display
the Confederate flag as a symbol." –Joe Biden
Finally, Barack Obama gave us Joe Biden. A man who is not only in cognitive decline, but the psychopath who drafted the crime bill when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He was particularly proud of his three-strikes law.
Joe Biden engages in racist dog whistles now, but there was a time when he would more blatantly express his prejudices. Biden worked closely with his friend, the infamous segregationist Strom Thurmond. He eulogized Thurmond at his memorial.
Biden worked with another Southern Senator and friend named James Eastland on putting through anti-busing legislation.
Does U.S. House Majority Whip. Jim Clyburn, who endorsed Biden for president (helping him win in the South Carolina primaries), remember the time Joe Biden called state-mandated school integration, “the most racist concept you can come up with?"
That time Joe Biden praised a speech Senator Howell Heflin made on the Senate floor, saying: “I, too, heard that speech and, for the public listening to this, the Senator made a very moving and eloquent speech, as a son of the Confederacy, acknowledging that it was time to change and yield to a position that Senator Carol Moseley-Braun raised on the Senate floor, not granting a Federal charter to an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag as a symbol.”
Biden represented a misogynistic boys club when he headed the Anita Hill portion of the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court confirmation hearing. He appeared to be a mentor and supporter of Thomas and intent on making Anita Hill out to be a liar. Thomas has called himself a "radical." Is it because he is an angry bitter man (watch his 60 minutes interview) who wants no one to benefit from a hand up; like he himself likely did many times due to the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement?
Can we all agree that Thomas and Barack Obama, being the articulate and presentable Black guys fortunate enough to have had the benefit of Joe Biden's wise counsel and friendship, should sit down together at a soda fountain summit to discuss the merits of Biden having one discernible policy stance?
Listen to Joe Biden on the "predators" who don't deserve a second chance. The ones "born out of wedlock", "without parents"..."We have an obligation to cordon them off as a society."

Haitian Peasants Against Monsanto
A large demonstration of at least 10,000 farmers had occurred in central Haiti on Friday, June 4. organized by "Mouvman Peyizan Papay" or MPP, the peasants and a contingent of youths from the capital marched for three hours to the town of Hinche to protest the American multinational company Monsanto and demand the burning of 475 tons of roundup ready genetically modified seeds the company was trying to "give" Haiti.
