MSNBC Anchor Keith Olbermann Found Dead of Apparent Suicide

Okay... it hasn't happened yet, but it's bound to happen.


For the record, Olbermann, Bill Clinton, and all the other lefty liberals are merely telling the other side of the same lie.

9/11 was not carried out by bin Laden.
period.

Ole homeboy Osama is used as a way by both Dems and Repubs as a way to verify the lie, over and over and over again. To push the company line over and over and over again. Ignore the evidence.
Don't ask questions.

Regardless.... the language, the tone (the sneer), the footage, quoting Orwell.... wonderful.

But don't get lost in the lies. 9/11 was not carried out by outsiders. It's bigger than Clinton. It's bigger than Bush. And the evidence is there. The fact that the evidence is not allowed to be mentioned should be a red flag to most of us.

"It's All About Having A Good Time"

Last night was such ridiculous fun it's.... well ridiculous.

I am thankful for my friends, thankful that the frickin coolest people in the world are accessible to me, are resources to me.

And if I can be arrogant for a minute... there's something about that look.

"WHY DO Y'ALL WANT TO RUN TO A BUTT-WHOOPIN?" I ask.

In the week leading up to Game Night, I got page comments, text messages, and verbal threats telling me what a beatdown I'm finna get in my own house.

I'm sitting down, trying to enjoy company in my house, and people are trying to roll up their sleeves, move my furniture, and verbally threaten me talking about how I'm finna lose.


Jabir and losing goes together like y'all and winning.


I'm saying, "Can't we just sit and talk and enjoy each other's company for awhile? Why y'all wanna run to get your collective butt's whooped?

"Cuz what's gonna happen, is we're gonna play the game, I'm going to destroy you, you're going to complain about me cheating, and then you are going to leave."

And what happens? Exactly what I say.

I lay down a "I Love The 80's" beatdown so fierce that the look came at me from all. It's a mixture of disbelief, shock, shame, awe, humiliation and force-fed humility.

I best equate it to getting physically assaulted by Bruce Lee. So he's kicking and punching and "Woooooooh!"ing and it HURTS, but you still are in amazement of his incredible style and form.

So yeah. I sent people out of my house on a whole 'nother note than the one they came in on.

The person walking into MY HOME talking the most hot garbage (Siraj) walked out talking the most.... but on another note.

"Aw man, if we was playing dominoes I'd win."
"Aw man, if we was playing 90's trivia I'd win."
"Aw man, if we was playing rock, paper, scissors I'd win."


We institute a NO CRYING rule and Siraj insists he's not crying because there are no actual tears present.

Regardless, I had a blast. And I think that everybody learned a lesson.

"Man, it's all about having a good time.. That's what it's all about. We just came to have fun."

(That's what losers say.)

I was really trying to be "in the moment" so I only taped a few moments of Gamers..... but what I did capture is priceless.

Before:
(don't mind the foolish camera hog)


After:


As one phase of the party transitioned into another, I don't remember who said it, but I remember their words...

"You're only doing this once a month?
I wish it was once a week."



Yeah... Best Party Ever.

And movie night will be even better, insha Allah.

Why Do I Hate Democrats?


Democrats warn Chavez: Don't bash Bush

POSTED: 8:25 p.m. EDT, September 21, 2006
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two of President Bush's staunchest domestic critics leapt to his defense Thursday, a day after one of his fiercest foreign foes called him "the devil" in a scorching speech before the United Nations.

"You don't come into my country; you don't come into my congressional district and you don't condemn my president," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, scolded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, was blunt in her criticism of the Venezuelan leader. "He is an everyday thug," she said.

Chavez kept up his criticism of Bush during a visit to Harlem on Thursday, calling the U.S. president "a sick man" who is unqualified for the job. Chavez also said he is expanding his heating-oil program to help low-income Americans.

During his speech before the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, Chavez launched into a caustic verbal attack of Bush that shocked diplomats and observers accustomed to the staid verbiage of international diplomacy.

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to Bush, who addressed the world body during its annual meeting Tuesday. "And it smells of sulfur still today."

Chavez accused Bush of having spoken "as if he owned the world" when the U.S. president addressed the world body on Tuesday.

"As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario. I would even propose a title: 'The Devil's Recipe.' "

Bush's domestic foes fumed Thursday.

"If there's any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not," Rangel said at a Washington news conference.

"I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chavez or any other president: Don't come to the United States and think, because we have problems with our president, that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our chief of state," Rangel said.

"Hugo Chavez abused the privilege that he had speaking at the United Nations," Pelosi said. "In doing so, in the manner which he characterized the president, he demeaned himself and demeaned Venezuela."

Bush administration officials dismissed the Chavez tirade.

"We're not going to address that sort of comic-strip approach to international affairs," John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said shortly after Chavez spoke Wednesday.

Chavez's tirades against Bush have become common. In May, he accused Bush of committing genocide and said the U.S. president should be imprisoned by an international criminal court.

Chavez also alleged during the U.N. speech that the United States is planning, financing and setting in motion a coup to overthrow him. The U.S. has denied such accusations in the past.

As he was exiting the U.N. building in New York, Chavez told reporters that Bush is not a legitimate president because he "stole the elections."

"He is, therefore, a dictator," Chavez said.

During a stop in Harlem on Thursday, Chavez said he has no quarrel with the American people.

"We are friends of yours, and you are our friends," he said.

Underscoring his point, he announced he is expanding his heating-oil program to help impoverished Americans from 40 million gallons last year to 100 million gallons this year, and from 180,000 families to 459,000 families.

But in the heart of Rangel's congressional district, he blasted away at Bush for a second day.

"He walks like this cowboy John Wayne," said Chavez. "He doesn't have the slightest idea of politics. He got where he is because he is the son of his father. He was an alcoholic, an ex-alcoholic. He's a sick man, full of complexes, but very dangerous now because he has a lot of power."

Chavez, clad in a fire-engine-red shirt, called Bush a "menace" and a "threat against life on the planet."
In the United States, rich people are getting richer, and poor people are getting poorer, he said. "That's not a democracy; that's a tyranny."

After his address, a Chavez spokesman said the Secret Service and New York Police Department had barred the Venezuelan president from granting media interviews and cut his delegation's satellite feed -- claims the New York police and State Department denied.

Stop 2pac before he kills you too

I wonder...

There have been 106 murders in Oakland this year.

That is more than one every other day.

If someone were to make a "Stop Killing" T-Shirt...

Who would wear it?

Would Mista Fab, E-40, Keek, or any of these other coonclowns ever be caught DEAD wearing it?

I doubt it.

Could this new breed of rappers even get together to create a message like "We're All In The Same Gang"?

No.

Don't even front.

It's a message that is the complete opposite of the tomcoonery they perpetuate.

And you know that even if they managed to make it through the recording process, somebody would get shot during the video shoot.

I wish pain on each and every one of these messengers. Not so much for me, but for the innocent victims. These young people who truly believe they are Niggas and Bitches, Go Dumb Dudes and Hyphy Hoes.

I hope that each of these rappers dies alone. In pain. And broke.

And for each of us who mistakenly shouts out "It ain't the rappers' fault! It's the meeeeedia! We got to blame the media and the record companies who support the music they make!"

I slowly and carefully extend my middle finger in your direction.


Take a moment.
Stare carefully as I retract it.
Now listen to my words.

Neither the media, the record executives nor the devil have any obligation to our communities. Their only goal is to seperate us from our money. And if it doesn't sell, they don't make it.

And for those who understand that white kids make up the majority of the hip-hop purchasing audience, I applaud you.

So am I contradicting myself? Is it really white kids in Concord, Simi Valley,  Little Rock? Are they to blame?

Of course not.... cuz they don't want it if it doesn't have 'street cred'.

If it's not Nigger Approved.

If it doesn't carry that Ghetto Pass, they'll pass on it, too. They only wish to emulate us, of course.
So...
until the day that Black Queens stop dancing to bitches & hoes songs in the clubs...
until Black Kings turn off that new "slap" with that same meaningless message, perpetuating, violence, misogyny, drug and alcohol abuse...
until Black People stop looking for redeeming qualities in every piece of negative materials, stop justifying the ignorance that we perpetuate upon ourselves...
 it ain't gonna happen.


The reason why I despise 2pac is because he could have stopped all of this.

While living, he could have said, "Let's put down the guns"
"Let's stop this violence, y'all."
"Trust me, I been shot 5 times (brothas is hard to kill, on my block) we got ta find a better way."

And I guarantee that it would have happened. He had that power.

He was that influential.

But the son of the Black Panthers instead embodied the very lifestyle that would take his life.

As my boy Mezmer put it:

"Pac was the definition of going dumb.
Huge talent, huge heart. 6 feet deep before the age of 30."


"Thug Life" huh?

This is our "Angel"... The rose from concrete.

Before 2pac, rap beefs didn't leave the studio. Kool Moe Dee and LL Cool J, KRS and Marley Marl (and the entire Juice Crew), hell, even "real" Gangstaz, Ice Cube vs NWA, Dr Dre vs Eazy E... after Eazy died they all admitted it was a hoax. A ruse.

But all we needed was somebody so "real" he could inspire a nation of hopeless Black youth. Young Black Men to follow in his footsteps. No dreams, no goals, no plans, and no expectations.

Fuck
Smoke
Drink
Rap


Die.


I don't expect anyone to join me on my campaign.

With the exception of some (well-meaning) white folks, I will walk alone.

Fighting Black People to save Black People.

Cuz Niggers are too scared to let go of the very thing which has been keeping you down.

They All Come Back

Completely by accident (there are no accidents) I ran into my "ex" while in LA.

To say the least, this woman has always had some kind of power over me, from day one.

We ended on bad terms, terms so bad they sparked my temporary return to the Spoken Word scene. And more than once she has tried to contact me, to apologize, to make amends, to clear the slate, and in very typical Jabir fashion she got nowhere.

Cuz once I'm done, I'm done.

However, if you know me, you know that I only date ex-girlfriends. It's like a rule. An oft-repeating sitcom with only 5 episodes in its history.

There's a reason why we're not together, but I have no desire to explain myself to any new person.

So you win by default. At least temporarily.

Anyways, she walked up to me at the African Marketplace and I didn't even recognize her... Gone is the short, curly natural, and these are the days of the blond/brown madwoman streaks.

But those eyes... Those eyes...

So seeing her again brought me right back into her control. At least temporarily.

"Remember what she said to you!" my left brain whispered.
"Why you trying to bring up old stuff?" my right brain shouted.

Anyways.... we've spoken briefly every day since then. But it's... different.

Whereas~
On Day One... I almost didn't drive back from LA to Oakland
On Day Ten... I hear my own voice floating in the background when she speaks.

"They all come back"
Or at least they try.

Unfortunately for most, I am now neck deep in World Domination mode.

And my primary thought  is, Will you help me raise my scholars, scientists, philosophers, teachers, revolutionaries, writers, beautiful brown Kings and Queens and Princes and Princesses... Muslims. Servants of God, the Most High?

Or will I have to fight with you on why my children will not watch Flavor of Love?

Power To The Peaceful? (Not if you're a Black)

Yes, a Black.

I spent a few hours at the Power to the Peaceful in Golden Gate Park on Sunday. If you're not familiar, it's when a bunch of liberals, hippies, anarchists, vegans, socialists, and other fun folks get together to celebrate themselves.

I always laugh at them.
Always.

I am never not finding humor in these people, who swear that they are SO RIGHT and that everybody else is SO WRONG, but these fools absolutely fail to recognize the fact that they are losing on every issue in this country.

War, the environment, politics, the economy, every one of these people was guaranteed to be on the losing side of each of these issues.

And it's not because people don't agree with them, per se.



It's because these people are fucking ridiculous.

Absolutely.

Notice how I have not mentioned white people yet?
Well, I have to now.

These white people are ridiculous.

Absolutely, unacceptably ridiculous.

Illogical. Silly.
LAUGH-WORTHY.

I can't say anymore now.

In the first video, something caught my eye at a t-shirt booth.



Right? I had to cut the camera off in order to say what I had to say to her. Cuz I was totally thinking, "I don't think I want my MySpace people (or the CIA spies who read my blogs) to hear this."

I was already through at this point, until I went to scout out the food area.
Do I really need to say anything after this point?



There is no more footage as I dropped my camera once she told me how we need to get reparations from the white man.
I laughed in her face with tears in my eyes, saying, "Enough, enough!"

Lies of 9/11

Flight 93 crashed because passengers bumrushed the cockpit. It was not shot down.

The Twin Towers collapsed because of the extreme heat of jet fuel... melting the steel rods and bringing these two buildings down upon themselves.

There were no explosives planted in the Twin Towers.

Commuter planes crashed into the Twin Towers. Even though both video and eyewitness accounts contradict this fact.

The planes were flown by Muslims/Arabs, supposedly trained at US amateur flight schools. Even though these so-called "terrorists" may still be alive around the globe, it was them because CNN said it was.

These horrible terrorists who hate America and our freedom, took over the planes armed with box cutters.

No group of people were contacted in advance and told to stay away from their jobs in the Towers on that morning.

If there were a group of people who MAY have been told to stay home on that day, they most certainly were not Jews.

The entire 9/11 attack was coordinated using low-technology, from a cave in Afghanistan. No cell phones, no laptops, no fax machines.


There is no connection between Israel, the Mossad, and the 9/11 attacks.

On October 11, 2001, a terrorist bomb plot against the Mexican Parliament WAS foiled, and YES, the people arrested with C-4 (plastic explosives) MAY have been Zionists (a Jew and a Mossad agent), but this has NOTHING to do with terrorism and is in NO WAY connected to the overarching plan of 9/11.

And in December of 2001, two Jewish terrorists may have been arrestedfor trying to carry out a similar plan to bomb the office of a California ARAB Congressman and a Mosque, but this also has NOTHING to do with terrorism.

The fact that both of these stories appeared in the news and QUICKLY disappeared is not important.


The attacks on 9/11 have not benefited weapons manufacturing companies, NOR oil companies. Neither ones have seen record profits in the last 5 years.

Since the attacks of 9/11, and since the America's response, titled, "The War on Terror" there is considerably less terrorist violence around the globe.

Since "The War on Terror" began, American's are safer, both here and abroad, thanks to America's swift and just response.

On the five year anniversary of 9/11, you should help to perpetuate the offical story of what happened. And under no circumstance should you doubt for ONE SECOND what you have told, because it's disrespectful to the victims and their families, and also, because it helps the terrorists.


And you don't support the terrorists, do you?

Last Night A Ninja Saved My Life (God Knows Exactly What I Need)

So... as far as my LA flaky people are concerned... I only called three people. Because I certainly have no plans of doing a tour of everybody I know. Plus, between Juju's and the Afrikan Marketplace, I'll likely run into everybody I know, plus people I'm not even thinking about.

So... only three people gave me the "I'm not sure what I'm doing" thing. The one constant, the one person who checked in, who checked and double checked, who expressed her excitement at my impeding arrival was your diva and mine... miss Lipgloss Junkie herself, the Diana Ross of the Desert, Miss Erica Socialite.

So since everybody else is doing "in tribute" blogs, it seems, there is mine.
Erica got my back.

Anyways... so, being offended, and truly stuck between decisions (to LA or not to LA) I wrote the blog previous to this.

I was at work when I typed it up
Five minutes after clicking "Post Blog" my phone rings...

"I never said that I wasn't going to see you.""I know... you said 'maybe.' Trust me I was truly honored to know you would consider fitting me in."
"Anyways... I am free this weekend. When are you coming?""Well, I'm not sure if I'm coming any longer, but I'll try to let you know."

Real ornery.
So I'm not being myself... I leave my office at around 10pm, hop into my car and began to head out of the parking lot.

"Oh! Fuck! A ninja!"

These words escaped MY lips.
Because a gosh damn NINJA did a ninja flip out of the darkness, and landed in the parking lot, not 15 feet from my passenger door.

I was as much in shock from cursing as I was from this ninja, dressed in black.

I swear unto my Lord, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth that this happened.

A freakin' ninja, dressed in an all black ninja suit, with a ninja belt, a ninja hood with a ninja mask.

He struck a ninja pose and looked at me with his ninja eyes.

He was Black.

Yes, a Nigga Ninja.

I swear this true.



I was torn between two reactions. Part of me wanted to hit the gas and drive away. I mean, when there is a ninja involved, there has to be trouble.

But another part of me, the part of me that hangs with a 9, a 10, and a 13 year old, that part of me was dominant. I stared at the ninja, yet he didn't seem to notice me or my car. He ninja scampered along the corner of a building in the lot, so I did what anybody else would do.

I jumped out of my car (with my digital camera/camcorder) and ran after him, only slightly afraid of death by ninja star.

I turned the corner that he had, which leads to another wide open section of parking lot. He had only a 3 second lead on me, but by the time I got there, he had disappeared.

I did what any child of the 80's would do... I looked up the walls of the adjacent buildings to see if he was ninja crouching in the darkness, I looked for rope to see if he had climbed or used some kind of grappling hook to escape.

But I found nothing. And after a few moments the ridiculousness of what I was doing struck me. And so I laughed.

I laughed and held my stomach and staggered back to my car with tears in my eyes. And in that moment God released all of my hostilities, my resentments, anger I wasn't even aware that I had been holding onto.

Whatever happens, happens, and God is in charge, and I believe that no matter what I do, where I go, what choice I make, that he will take care of me. He always has.

And in that moment, it took a damn ninja to help me see.

So, LA here I come.
