"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."

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
1. Troops Out Of Iraq Immediately. Like By Monday. 2. Money Owed To Haliburton and War Contractors Be Given Directly To The Iraqi People 3. Complete Electoral Reform 4. 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.

He knew how it was going to play out from gitgo. Just like PBS that had some nerve to put out a documentary calling out Donald Rumsfeld after Bush's term. Donald Rumsfeld already somewhere hitt'n switches, snapp'n necks cash'n checks.
After the fact doesn't help.
If these "intellectuals" would stop playing that "sincere benefit of the doubt" game and take Malcolm's example they can go down in history being one of the "I told you so's."
My question to our intellectuals is, "If you moving at the same speed as the masses, why you up there at the podium?" They need to be paying the ticket price like everybody else. Cornell West can drop jewels, but his slowness to criticism on this is exactly why Sistah Souljah "Maximum Overdrived" all over him on Donehue back in the day.
Oh please, "Dr." West. West is a caricature who has written from the SCRIPT of the same people controlling Obama. The American public is idiotic: it's saying "create" jobs but don't spend a dime.
We broke. Period.
Whoaaa
Whoaaa
Whoaaa
Grasshopper.
We are spending $130 Million / Day with private contractors to wage the "war" in Afghanistan.
How many jobs could you create with a $130 million per day?
It's not that we are broke ... it's where "they" are spending "our" money.
With Each Other.
Goldman Sachs execs took $22 Billion in bonuses for 2009. That's AFTER A $10 Billion "bailout" in 2008.
How many jobs could you create with that kind of money?
"we broke"?
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit.
We are getting robbed!
The funny thing is "We Sick Boss" Negros are busy criticizing Haitian leaders for being "corrupt" while Americans are being robbed blind by men who make the worst Haitian leaders look like choir boys.
I aint going to say no names UnderCoverBlackMan.
But I don't really think its 'after the fact' Gee-Chee, Cornel West has been singing this Socratic-Prophetic gospel on Obama for the longest time. I dig what he says at times but I think he could be a lot more fierce in his criticism of BO, but he, like two-faced Michael Eric Dyson, is a diplomat as compared to Glenn Ford who holds nothing back.
Denmark.
You are right. It goes with out saying that the American people are being/have been robbed. But I also don't agree that somehow Obama is supposed to wave a flag and "create" jobs. That's what businessmen do. I was driving through Latino L.A. last night and saw hundreds of small businesses. Black unemployment is high because we sit up waiting for some white boy or government agency to "give" us a job. Shiiiiit. We need to create small business that our community needs: laundries, quick healthy food shops, etc.
Co-Sign KonWomyn. We have to remember that we need Malcolm's and Martin's. Harriet Tubman's, David Walker's and Nat Turner's. Louverture's and Dessalines'. Everyone has a purpose.
I've been calling Barack Obama "The Perfect Proxy" from day one. Dr. West says the same thing, more diplomatically.
However, Dr. West has been consistent with his constructive criticism of Obama.

We don't need Martin and Malcolms.
We have already had Tubman and we have already had Turner.
We need new cats for a new time.
We need cats to stop pontificating about Obama's capitulation and acknowledge the bigger picture.
It's not Obama that has been co-opted. The Presidency of The United States has been co-opted. The government of the United States has been co-opted.
This nation has suffered a coup.
It just hasn't been announced.
Holding Obama responsible for the 'State of The Union' is like holding the pilot of a hijacked airline responsible for its crash.
Was he in on the Hi-jacking?
Who knows.
But he's not in control of the plane.
Cats ~shaking their heads~ at Obama are afraid to acknowledge who is standing next to Obama.
Very true IWaIW. In time of crisis new needs are created. We need people to innovate, to create, to be imaginative and provide new services. I just look around my neighborhood and I see there is so much to do to make it better. But as our masters have shaped us to believe that they are our only saviors and that we should allow them to do whatever they need to do to "fix" things instead of taking the responsibility for ourselves. People could take the economy wherever they want to and change things for real, not the government. They just play around with us for the big guy's benefits.
A fool sees a challenge as a defeat, a wise one sees the opportunity.
Many if not most poor african-americans live in welfare and sit around their asses. So, what can you expect from that?. Big papa has provide them with the food and shelter, they don't need to do more. But I don't blame the people, I blame the oppressor for creating such a "monster"

I don't understand what you mean Bra; American has suffered a coup by whom and when if the people standing next to Obama are Rahm Emmanuel, Brezinski and Hillary Clinton. The ones who were there before are still there today.
KW, DV is obviously referring to the coup which forced the British to surrender at Yorktown.
Barack Obama is The Perfect Proxy, the ultimate buffer for America’s oligarchs and plutocrats. Sitting at the perceived pinnacle of American authority, Obama blurs the contradictions within American society. Exposing his hypocrisies is one of the most critical aspects of breaking the monopoly he has on the minds of people who would otherwise be outraged by such arrogance.
[Mr. Obama may be personally very appealing, but he has positioned himself all over the political map: the anti-Iraq war candidate who escalated the war in Afghanistan; the opponent of health insurance mandates who made a mandate to buy insurance the centerpiece of his plan; the president who stocked his administration with Wall Street insiders and went to the mat for the banks and big corporations, but who is now trying to present himself as a born-again populist.] – Bob Herbert

MB:
PLEASE!!!!
West and the Black Establishment want Obama to GO HARD TO THE LEFT!!!
We need "Management criticism" that will deliver upon the Black community's PERMANENT INTERESTS. To do so we need to put West and the Black Establishment ON TRIAL to make them PROVE that they are working for our interests and not just for their ideological interests.
