"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"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."
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider - founder Club of Rome - The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

IS THIS LITTLE GUY A PERSON?
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.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"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?"
Denmark Vesey For President 08

No Corporate Conglomerate Will Be Allowed To Control More Than 5% Of News Market 5. Federal Reserve Abolished 6. For-Profit Prison Industry Abolished
*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.
“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society will be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values.” – Zbigniew Brzezinski

They built it, but neither they or the next generation knew how to sustain it.
Quite true.
Same thing happened to Whites.
Beaver and the Partridge family have turned into Jerry Springer.
Explain your thesis DV.
The thesis is not complex. The moment Black people became concerned with being a part of and accepted by the white community (i.e., in the civil rights movement), we lost sight of and focus on our own community. Hence the decades of deterioration you see the effects of today and the resulting loss of the Black middle class.
So the civil rights movement created the Black middle class and is also responsible for the loss of the Black middle class. Doesn't make a damn bit of sense RJ.
I think you should let DV explain his own thesis.
Folks often dismiss what they fail to understand.

I understand that what you wrote doesn’t make a damn bit of sense. Are you now DV’s official spokesperson?
“The Civil Rights Movement Messed This Up.” Messed what up? The Black family? You’re assuming, unless you’re his spokesperson that the CRM messed up the Black middle class—“decades of deterioration …and the resulting loss of the Black middle class.”
The Time Magazine cover is from June 17, 1974. The title of the cover article is “America’s Rising Black Middle Class.”
[The rise of the black middle class is confirmed by a variety of statistics:
> In 1961, 13% of American blacks earned $10,000 or more a year; by 1971 30% were making that amount, and 12% earned $15,000 or more.
> In 1964, the median income of black families was 54% that of white; in 1972 it was 59%.
> In the North and West, black husband-wife units headed by someone under 35 earned 93% of comparable white income in 1971; if both husband and wife worked, they made 105% of white earnings.
> Between 1967 and 1972 the number of blacks enrolled in college doubled to 727,000; 18% of all blacks aged 18 to 24 were attending college in 1972, compared with 26% of whites.
> Between 1960 and 1971 the number of blacks in professional and technical positions—doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, writers, entertainers —jumped by 128%, to 756,000. Meanwhile, the total number of these jobs increased by only 49%, to 11.1 million.
> In the same period, the number of black managers, officials and proprietors almost doubled, to 342,000, while the nation's total employment in these categories expanded by only 23%, to 8.7 million.]
What other than the CRM was responsible for the rise of the Black middle class?
Given the evolution of the CRM into Black Power and Black Liberation the development of a Black middle class and its associative class interests was clearly beneficial to the oligarchic psychopathocracy of America. Was that the fault of the CRM or was it the result of people without consciousness taking advantage of opportunities and being easily manipulated.
Since Mr. Cat Got His Tongue won’t speak up we don’t if his focus was on the picture of the family on the cover, or was it on the words on the cover? I’m guessing the family, but that’s why I asked for an explanation. I would rather ask than extrapolate as you did counselor.
