“The New Invasion of Africa”

So it wd be this way

That they wd get a negro

To bomb his own home

To join with the actual colonial

Powers, Britain, France , add Poison Hilary

With Israeli and Saudi to make certain

That revolution in Africa must have a stopper

So call in the white people who long tasted our blood

They would be the copper, overthrow Libya

With some bullshit humanitarian scam

With the negro yapping to make it seem right (far right)

But that’s how Africa got enslaved by the white

A negro selling his own folk, delivering us to slavery

In the middle of the night. When will you learn poet

And remember it so you know it

Imperialism can look like anything

Can be quiet and intelligent and even have

A pretty wife. But in the end, it is insatiable

And if it needs to, it will take your life.; Mar 23, 2011, 10:59:00 PM

I was one of the very few who saw through the charade from the inception but I was talked down because, like most metro areas, the predominant members here are older brothers and sisters who could only see black, male, and democrat. They believed that I was losing my grip when I pointed out the dubious ties, the inconsistent patterns of his state senate voting record, not to mention his rapid rise through the cesspool that is Illinois politics amongst other red flags.

B.O. aint the player that he's marketed as, he just crush a lot - lol. Furthermore, this govt and the individuals that walk its corridors long ago ceased with even pretending it was for the people. No need exist for such false pleasantries. Yet it is good to know bro Baraka et al are begining to come around - "yet do I marvel at this curious, to make a poet black and bid him sing!"; Mar 26, 2011, 1:09:00 AM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
