Who You With?

Mumia Abu-Jamal's recent comments on the upcoming Presidential elections.

Do yourself a favor, listen to the man. The vid runs 5 minutes.
Just listen.





If you've been following Mumia you know that he has ALWAYS been on point. Always.
This is why he is sitting in a jail cell now.


When I post a new blog, over 200 people read it within the first two days.
This continues to astonish me. More on this at a later date.

Most people, I assume, come thru on some, "Lessee what da Truth Sayer is tawmbout now." and leave on some, "Man, I can't stand dat negroe. Why he gotta be hating on (politicians, white people, grown-up crack babies, gays, or dumb entertainers)?"

Say what you think. Be brave.
Is Mumia just hating because he's on death row and Obama is stealing his shine?
Am I hating on Obama because I wish my skin was lite and pretty like his?
Speak.

I put my opinions out constantly. I'm not afraid to be wrong.
Are you?

Done with the Rebound... now it's time to SCORE!

Today's fun via text messages:

her: are we not speaking or something? Did I do that mystery "thing" again?
me: Did I miss something?

her: U missd me

me: I'm lost for real. Use whole sentences

her: What where u doing last night that u could not call me?

Wooooooooo! But I stayed cool, I stayed cool.

me: I was at work until late. I don't see a missed call that I didn't return, so I'm not understanding the funk.

her: Not funk. Just a question. Why u didn't call me

For those who don't know me well (or at all) the humor of this situation is going to be lost upon you. Nevermind the fact that I don't answer to nobody. Let's say I did.

I'm single. I've been hanging out with Rebound Chick for what, a month?
She's not the only one. In addition, I'm not being real picky right now. I have been using this time to do that whole "socializing" thing. Making sure I still "got it".

Apparently, I do.
Rebound Chick calls me every night. My phone rings at a certain time and I know it's her. She texts me randomly throughout the day. I genuinely like this girl, and if it wasn't for our GLARING MAJOR DIFFERENCES in more than one important area (there are four) I would have no problem wifing her up and being done with this dating nonsense.

Damn standards.

Top this off with the fact that I have never touched this girl. Ever. She gets a hug hello and a hug goodbye. So does my mom. No kisses, no hand holding, nothing that could, on paper, complicate my eventual escape.

If at any time I need to pull this out, I will. But I didn't.

me: I was at work past 2am, that's why.
-silence-
me: Reverse it- why didn't you call me?

her: Cause I wanted to see if u would call me


Chuckii Booker comes to mind.
And no, not "Turned Away"


There are so many lessons to learn here. And not just on how to get along with me. But I find it fitting that N'Dambi's "Call Me" is playing right now, so I will end now.


Plus I got a real date tomorrow. But don't tell nobody. Shhhh

Don't Be a Nigger

Nas is one of the most ignorant coons of ever time. I'm not open to arguing this. If you think Nasir is some kind of freedom fighter, some saviour of hip-hop, or BLACK PEOPLE, just leave, because I will hurt your feelings.






When asked why he would title his album "Nigger" the former Nasty Nas said, "Nigga is just a word. I wanna take the sting out of it. I'm a nigga, you a nigga, and if we get more comfortable with it, we take the power out of the word."

The only thing more dangerous than an ignorant ass nigga, is an ignorant ass nigga who thinks that he is enlightened.



See:





These are the same.

Quit being afraid of "missing out".

Don't support Nas.

New and Not Improved 

New York Times

Published: July 4, 2008

Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things. He spoke with passion about breaking out of the partisan mold of bickering and catering to special pleaders, promised to end President Bush's abuses of power and subverting of the Constitution and disowned the big-money power brokers who have corrupted Washington politics.

Now there seems to be a new Barack Obama on the hustings. First, he broke his promise to try to keep both major parties within public-financing limits for the general election. His team explained that, saying he had a grass-roots-based model and that while he was forgoing public money, he also was eschewing gold-plated fund-raisers. These days he's on a high-roller hunt.

Even his own chief money collector, Penny Pritzker, suggests that the magic of $20 donations from the Web was less a matter of principle than of scheduling. "We have not been able to have much of the senator's time during the primaries, so we have had to rely more on the Internet," she explained as she and her team busily scheduled more than a dozen big-ticket events over the next few weeks at which the target price for quality time with the candidate is more than $30,000 per person.

The new Barack Obama has abandoned his vow to filibuster an electronic wiretapping bill if it includes an immunity clause for telecommunications companies that amounts to a sanctioned cover-up of Mr. Bush's unlawful eavesdropping after 9/11.

In January, when he was battling for Super Tuesday votes, Mr. Obama said that the 1978 law requiring warrants for wiretapping, and the special court it created, worked. "We can trace, track down and take out terrorists while ensuring that our actions are subject to vigorous oversight and do not undermine the very laws and freedom that we are fighting to defend," he declared.

Now, he supports the immunity clause as part of what he calls a compromise but actually is a classic, cynical Washington deal that erodes the power of the special court, virtually eliminates "vigorous oversight" and allows more warrantless eavesdropping than ever.

The Barack Obama of the primary season used to brag that he would stand before interest groups and tell them tough truths. The new Mr. Obama tells evangelical Christians that he wants to expand President Bush's policy of funneling public money for social spending to religious-based organizations — a policy that violates the separation of church and state and turns a government function into a charitable donation.

He says he would not allow those groups to discriminate in employment, as Mr. Bush did, which is nice. But the Constitution exists to protect democracy, no matter who is president and how good his intentions may be.
On top of these perplexing shifts in position, we find ourselves disagreeing powerfully with Mr. Obama on two other issues: the death penalty and gun control.

Mr. Obama endorsed the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the District of Columbia's gun-control law. We knew he ascribed to the anti-gun-control groups' misreading of the Constitution as implying an individual right to bear arms. But it was distressing to see him declare that the court provided a guide to "reasonable regulations enacted by local communities to keep their streets safe."

What could be more reasonable than a city restricting handguns, or requiring that firearms be stored in ways that do not present a mortal threat to children?

We were equally distressed by Mr. Obama's criticism of the Supreme Court's barring the death penalty for crimes that do not involve murder.

We are not shocked when a candidate moves to the center for the general election. But Mr. Obama's shifts are striking because he was the candidate who proposed to change the face of politics, the man of passionate convictions who did not play old political games.

There are still vital differences between Mr. Obama and Senator John McCain on issues like the war in Iraq, taxes, health care and Supreme Court nominations. We don't want any "redefining" on these big questions.

This country needs change it can believe in.

	NY**CNASTY**NY	J, your boy, Nader could again perhaps play spoiler to Dem hopes. As a Barack supporter, I knew there would be moves to the center and the shiny happy rhetoric of change is awe inspiring, but near impossible to create. Like I wrote in one of my blogs, two things will not change immediately with a new president: Iraq policy and gas prices (economy). You won't see any change until the middle of 2010. Troops out of Iraq would create a power vacuum that Iran is wanting to fill. The gas prices and economy are just cyclical in their nature, but serious effort needs to be put in place to get us moving into energy independence.   Posted by NY**CNASTY**NY on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 3:53 PM

The Truth Sayer

The only "spoiler" is this jive turkey's weak ass policies. And the fact that some among us actually care about the issues. Iran filling a vacuum in Iraq is a threat ONLY if you buy into the devil's mentality that there are "evil" countries. Not to mention that no matter WHENEVER u.s. troops leave that vacuum will exist. The war was illegal and unjust. Unilateral regime change is a war crime. Period.   Posted by The Truth Sayer on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 11:13 PM

Do I [aka "You Called And Told Me"]

People think that I am manipulative.

To clarify this, I remind that I am a fundraiser. A very good fundraiser. My job entails getting money from people, for nothing in return. More often than not, they will give me far more than they would ever consider.

Persuasive? Yes. Plus, my logic is on point.
So what I say makes sense, yes?
Yes.


Alright, moving forward.
For those who don't know, I am recently single.
In all honesty, it lasted longer than it should have. Towards the end I found myself having to be very, very, very mean, short, cold, and hard-hearted in order to get the result I wanted.

"Please leave me alone. Please."

I was saying crazy things to her. I don't name call, and I don't curse, but I can still hurt and sting and insult with the best of the best of them. I'm pretty sure I can make the best of them cry and spend months doubting their life and purpose.

So, towards the end, I found myself asking, "Am I saying these things in order for her to leave me alone? Or, am I hoping that she will beg, plead, and promise to change?"

It took some time, but when I realized that no matter what she did, no matter what she said, no matter how she changed or what she promised to do, say or be... she would sickitate me.

So that was it.


Fast forward a month. I hit the rebound HARD. I put feelers out in all directions. I approached women, something I never ever do. But I was by myself, and I didn't really want to be by myself. And I figure that it's easier to find someone that I don't have complete and utter contempt for if I'm picking from 100 than from 10.

So I met Rebound Chick.
Rebound Chick is cool.
Very cool.
She's smart, cute, funny, and she digs me.

Most importantly, she's there.
This is important.


However, Rebound Chick is flawed. We're all flawed, yeah, but, I mean she's flawed in ways that make her GREAT as Rebound Chick, but would disqualify her from ascending to Partner, Girlfriend, Wife...

So.... she is flawed enough that when I am ready to no longer Rebound, I could bust out of the blue and say, "Hey, I'm looking for something more serious. However, I'm gonna have to let you go, because you don't have X or you do too much Y. But it's been nice. Gimme a pound."

But I'm not like that.

The flip side of it, is that most people aren't looking for UNSOLICITED feedback on their lifestyle, opinions, habits, faults, shortcomings, and other things which would make them just not.... right, for a particular situation.

This my friends, is a quandary.


Do I do nothing, say nothing, smile and laugh with her, knowing that soon I'll be removing myself?

OR, do I have the audacity to tell this woman, "Hey, Rebound Chick, I think you're great, this last month has been great. However, if you're thinking of moving this beyond anything more than just some casual outings and playful flirtation (which she has indicated), here is a list of things that will keep us from being compatible."




Either way, I'm an asshole.


So when presented with two bad choices...
Much like with Obama and McCain...

What do I do?

I choose neither.
So far, so good.

Fidel Castro > Obama

If you don't know THE TRUTH about Fidel Castro, why he is an ally and a friend to Africans, African Americans and the people of the Diaspora, this is not the place to learn.

The following is an article written by Fidel Castro.

My questions for Obama

The brightest and best of the presidential hopefuls seeks to extend a cruel, immoral Cuba blockade

It would be dishonest of me to remain silent after hearing Barack Obama's speech delivered at the Cuban American National Foundation last Friday. I feel no resentment towards him, for he is not responsible for the crimes perpetrated against Cuba and humanity. Were I to defend him, I would do his adversaries a favour. I have therefore no reservations about criticising him and expressing myself frankly.

What were Obama's statements? "Throughout my entire life, there has been injustice and repression in Cuba. Never, in my lifetime, have the people of Cuba known freedom. Never, in the lives of two generations of Cubans, have the people of Cuba known democracy ... I won't stand for this injustice ... I will maintain the embargo."

This man who is doubtless, from the social and human points of view, the most progressive candidate for the US presidency, portrays the Cuban revolution as anti-democratic and lacking in respect for freedom and human rights. It is the same argument US administrations have used again and again to justify crimes against our country. The blockade is an act of genocide. I don't want to see US children inculcated with those shameful values.

No small and blockaded country like ours would have been able to hold its ground for so long on the basis of ambition, vanity, deceit or the abuse of power, the kind of power its neighbour has. To state otherwise is an insult to the intelligence of our heroic people.

I am not questioning Obama's great intelligence, his debating skills or his work ethic. He is a talented orator and is ahead of his rivals in the electoral race. Nevertheless, I am obliged to raise a number of delicate questions. I do not expect answers; I wish only to raise them for the record.

Is it right for the president of the US to order the assassination of any one person in the world, whatever the pretext? Is it ethical for the president of the US to order the torture of other human beings? Should state terrorism be used by a country as powerful as the US as an instrument to bring peace to the planet?

Is an Adjustment Act, applied as punishment to only one country, Cuba, in order to destabilise it, good and honourable when it costs innocent children and mothers their lives? Are the brain drain and the continuous theft of the best scientific and intellectual minds in poor countries moral and justifiable?

Is it fair to stage pre-emptive attacks? Is it honourable and sane to invest millions and millions of dollars in the military-industrial complex, to produce weapons that can destroy life on earth several times over? Is that the way in which the US expresses its respect for freedom, democracy and human rights?

Before judging our country, Obama should know that Cuba - with its education, health, sports, culture and science programmes, implemented not only in its own territory but also in other poor countries around the world, and in spite of the economic and financial blockade and the aggression of his powerful country - is proof that much can be done with very little. Cuba has never subordinated cooperation with other countries to ideological requirements. We offered the US our help when hurricane Katrina lashed the city of New Orleans. Our revolution can mobilise tens of thousands of doctors and health technicians. It can mobilise an equally vast number of teachers and citizens who are willing to travel to any corner of the world to fulfil any noble purpose, not to usurp rights or take possession of raw materials.

The goodwill and determination of people constitute limitless resources that would not fit in the vault of a bank. They cannot spring from the hypocritical politics of an empire.

Chemtrails over Berkeley

I took these pictures while leaving my office in Berkeley this afternoon.

It wasn't until people noticed me taking pictures of the sky that they, too, began looking up and wondering.... What the f@$ is that?
"Chemtrails," I said. "Damn Chemtrails."

An older white dude quickly said, "It's just condensation, probably from a low flying airplane."

I asked him if he knew what Chemtrails were. He, being the white man that he was, decided to correct my broken Black english.

"Contrails. They're called contrails."

"Oh," I said to Mr. White Man. This was going to be fun, AND, I had an audience. "So that's from condensation?"

He agreed. Good.

"Mr White Man," I said. "That looks pretty low to me, (and you can judge from the pictures above) are regular ol' planes allowed to fly that low above major cities with all this 9/11 stuff going on?" Saying 9/11 obviously kept the audience interested in our exchange.

I continued. "And... it's gotta be over 90 degrees today. Would these be the ideal weather conditions for condensation to occur on a plane, in your opinion? Especially one flying so close to the ground?"

If I wasn't already so tall, I would have stepped onto a soapbox.

"Those are Chemtrails, people. Those are intentional sprayings. Just like farmers spray DDT or whatever pesticides over their crops, the gubment is spraying us too. Just thought you should know."

I told the 4 people who wanted more information what I will now tell you, dear reader.

Whether you believe it or not, the gubment/military spends billions of dollars each year on some creepy shit. Mind control/psi-ops, propaganda, futuristic weapons, rap music, focus groups and market research for selling wars, and.... weather control.

"Whether" you believe in it or not.

I don't wanna get all preachy, but here are the basics on Chemtrails.
(From Chemtrail Central)

Weather Modification
Humans have had the ability to physically affect the weather since learning how to seed clouds in 1946, or possibly 1880. The popular conception of weather manipulation is limited to cloud seeding, but the possibility that the extents of our abilities may have progressed in the meantime is definitely plausible. The fact that the military is very interested in weather control is no secret and many propose that the Chemtrail Phenomena is a part of this. If true, what is the goal of the weather modification and what negative effects could it have on the environment? NASA is currently conducting several programs that are studying the effects of contrails on weather and the effects do not appear to be beneficial. Population Control
The use of chemical and biological agents by a government against it's own people is, unfortunately, a historical fact. Even unintentional accidents can occur. But, some people suggest that Chemtrails could actually be part of a program to reduce the population and many feel Chemtrails have caused them to become ill and perhaps they are right. If the Chemtrails contain biological agents then people already weakened by other factors may have even died as a result of the additional strain on their systems, but could such a diabolical purpose be the ultimate goal? History has taught that even the most unconscionable schemes can be made into reality by men filled with fear and hate, and with such weapons in the hands of government we must remain vigilant until answers are forthcoming. Inoculation Program
Chemical and biological weapons have been used for centuries but have recently entered the world stage as a primary threat. Biological agents have the ability to spread and multiply in casualties. These bioweapons are easy to produce and difficult, but possible, to defend against. The recent actions of the military to require anthrax vaccines for all service personnel show that this matter is of high importance. Some propose that the government may be quietly releasing bioagents to vaccinate citizens via the air. This could account for reported illnesses since a vaccine sometimes makes a person sick. Municipal water supplies might not be universal enough and could be easily sampled and tested, but everyone breathes the air. And the federal government rules the air.
You don't have to believe in it.
I bet when they first found Flouride in tap water, nobody believed it either.
Then they straight up found chloroform, arsenic, copper and nitrates in it.
NOW the big news is prescription drug residue in our tap water.
If you chose not to read the news, you could say, "I don't believe it." and dismiss it, just that easily.

But it would still be there.



Wanna know more.

To start: just Google words like Chemtrails, see what comes up.
Then, try HAARP. You'd be amazed.
Youtube also has a number of videos, if you're interested in finding out just what (might be) out there.

Barry Obama does not like Muslims

Let's hear it for "change" right?

Muslim Barack Obama fans told to hide from television cameras

By Tim Shipman

Last Updated: 7:14PM 18/06/2008

Barack Obama's campaign has been forced to apologize to two Muslim women barred from sitting behind him at a public event.

The two women in headscarves were asked not to sit in view of cameras at a rally in Detroit on Monday, where Al Gore endorsed Mr Obama.

Hebba Aref, a 25-year-old lawyer, told Politico magazine: "I was coming to support him, and I felt like I was discriminated against.

"The message that I thought was delivered to us was that they do not want him associated with Muslims or Muslim supporters."

Miss Aref's friend Ali Koussan, a law student, said that a volunteer "explained to me that because of the political climate and what's going on in the world ... it's not good for her to be seen on TV or associated with Obama."

A second woman was told to take off her headscarf if she wanted to sit in the special seats.

Polls show that around one in eight Americans falsely believe that Mr Obama is Muslim.

Campaign spokesman Bill Burton said: "This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama's commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run.
"We sincerely apologise for the behaviour of these volunteers."

But the incident highlights the degree to which Mr Obama's campaign is concerned with traditional political image making, something his promise to change American politics claims to eschew.

While he grew up and was schooled in Indonesia, a Muslim nation, Mr Obama's campaign has repeatedly denied that he was ever a Muslim.

Until he resigned over the furor surrounding his former's pastor's comments, Mr Obama has worshipped for more than 20 years at the same Chicago church.

===================================================================

Once a politician knows that no matter what he says or does, he has your vote, your 100 percent loyalty, you will see more and more tomfoolery. You will have to make more and more excuses for his shady business.

Just like his "speech" on Father's Day, his declaration of war against Iran, Obama fans are going to spend the next 5 months making excuses for this dude when he has never done anything to earn your loyalty.

He is a politician.

Can you believe I used to have a crush on this woman?

Call me old fashioned, but I don't think her hairline is supposed to look like that.

"Niggers put the noose on"

A group of white Louisiana college students dressed in mud and reenacted the Jena 6 assault while a friend snapped photos and videotaped it. Images and videos were later posted to one of the participant's Facebook page. The photos were taken late last month on the bank of the Ouachita River, where students from the University of Louisiana at Monroe giddily acted out the racial attack. The photos and video were posed on the facebook page of Kristy Smith, a freshman nursing student. The album of images was entitled "The Jena 6 on the River."

In the video, three students with mud smeared across their bodies stomp on a fourth student, while two of the participants are heard to say, "Jena 6." One man can also be heard saying, "Nigger put the noose on."
After the video and photos on Smith's page were discovered by fellow students, she removed the material and made her Facebook page private. Smith, who did not respond to a The Smoking Gun e-mail sent to her school address, apologized for the images in several recent Facebook postings.

"We were just playin n the mud and it got out of hand. I promise i'm not racist. i have just as many black friends as i do white. And i love them to death," she wrote.

When faced with heated online criticism from fellow students, Smith yanked the photos and video from Facebook, but not before one student downloaded the photos and another videotaped the video directly from her computer screen (and then posted the clip on YouTube).
