Agenda of Hate in America

Hate is a strategy for domination. By use of this strategy, social, political, and economic agendas often generate hate. When an agenda is realized, discrimination and persecution subside in intensity and scope. The realized agendas are replaced by new agendas. The newest agendas, derived from terrorist actions and Middle-East struggles, are involving Americans in hate-filled polemics and actions that are defining battlegrounds, polarizing communities, and leading to widespread destruction.

The development of the United States produced agendas that often contained discrimination and bigotry. The hate was not spontaneous but part of a plan to advance agendas

The Agenda of Economics--Tobacco raising in Maryland and Virginia and cotton production in the deeper South required inexpensive labor that was adaptable to a hot and humid climate. Indentured servitude in early America soon led to Africans being used as cheap slave labor. African American slave labor greatly contributed to the growth and wealth of the United States and to the prosperity of its people. The almost free labor provided cheap resources, reduced production costs and enabled industries to be competitive. Substitution of manual labor for capital released the capital for investment in other industries. After institutionalized slavery had been abolished, institutionalized racism returned African Americans to a status close to slavery. Two centuries of slavery extended into another century of economic exploitation by segregation, unfair employment practices and violation of basic laws.

Jewish Dominance and Exploitation of the Black Civil Rights Movement

Many observers argue that the presumed Jewish altruism and social activism in the American civil rights movement of the 1960's had baser motives. Benjamin Ginsberg argues that the multicultural coalitions spearheaded by Jews in the civil rights era "was a political tactic" to "undermine the power" of those establishment social forces that hindered further Jewish socio-economic advancement.

[GINSBERG, p. 125] In 1975 Hasia Dinner wrote a PhD thesis about the way that "Jewish support for black causes was a way for Jews to broaden their own rights without becoming conspicuous by advocating their group interests." [FEINGOLD, p. 130] "Jewish leaders," wrote Diner, "representing different socio-economic classes, ideologies, and cultural experiences committed themselves to black betterment and gave time, money, and energy to black organizations.

The spectrum was so wide and the involvement so extensive that one must conclude that these leaders acted out of peculiarly Jewish motives ... [My] book demonstrates that Jewish ends were secured by involvement with blacks." [DINER, p. xiv, xii]

Obama Picks Black Alabama Doctor To Be Surgeon General

By Michael D. Shear

President Obama has chosen Regina Benjamin, a family physician from Alabama, to be the next Surgeon General, filling a key public health post ahead of an expected surge in the H1N1 flu next fall.

Benjamin gained fame through her public efforts to rebuild her rural health clinic after Hurricane Katrina devastated it. She founded the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in 1990 and rebuilt it after the hurricane.

Benjamin has also served as the first black woman to head the State of Alabama Medical Association and was associate dean for rural health at the University of South Alabama's College of Medicine.

Obama announced her his intent to nominate her at a Rose Garden event this morning in which he also spoke of the challenges and need for health care reform.

Combating the Codex Alimentarius by Gregory Damato, PhD

Billions of people will suffer from degenerative diseases due to poor nutrition and limited access to health supplements if the powerful global corporations behind the new Codex Alimentarius standards are allowed to “harmonise” the world.

POPULATION CONTROL UNDER THE GUISE OF CONSUMER PROTECTION

The most dominant country behind the agenda of Codex Alimentarius is the United States, whose primary purpose is to benefit the large multinational interests of Big Pharma, Big Agribusiness, Big Chema and the like. At the latest meeting in Geneva, Switzerland (30 June to 4 July 2008), the US became the chair of Codex Alimentarius (3) and now will exacerbate the distortion of health freedom and continue to promulgate misinformation and lies about nutrients and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while fulfilling its tacit population-control agenda. One reason why the US continues to dominate Codex Alimentarius is because other countries falsely believe that it possesses the latest and greatest food safety technology; hence, whatever the US asks for, its allies (Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore and the European Union) follow suit nearly every time.

The fact that Codex Alimentarius meetings are held all over the world is also no accident and allows the US to maintain its tight grip on the Codex agenda because the less economically viable countries are not able to attend.

The Financial New World Order: Towards a Global Currency and World Government

Following the 2009 G20 summit, plans were announced for implementing the creation of a new global currency to replace the US dollar’s role as the world reserve currency. Point 19 of the communiqué released by the G20 at the end of the Summit stated, “We have agreed to support a general SDR allocation which will inject $250bn (£170bn) into the world economy and increase global liquidity.” SDRs, or Special Drawing Rights, are “a synthetic paper currency issued by the International Monetary Fund.” As the Telegraph reported, “the G20 leaders have activated the IMF's power to create money and begin global "quantitative easing". In doing so, they are putting a de facto world currency into play. It is outside the control of any sovereign body. Conspiracy theorists will love it.”[1]

The article continued in stating that, “There is now a world currency in waiting. In time, SDRs are likely to evolve into a parking place for the foreign holdings of central banks, led by the People's Bank of China.” Further, “The creation of a Financial Stability Board looks like the first step towards a global financial regulator,” or, in other words, a global central bank. It is important to take a closer look at these “solutions” being proposed and implemented in the midst of the current global financial crisis. These are not new suggestions, as they have been in the plans of the global elite for a long time. However, in the midst of the current crisis, the elite have fast-tracked their agenda of forging a New World Order in finance. It is important to address the background to these proposed and imposed “solutions” and what effects they will have on the International Monetary System (IMS) and the global political economy as a whole.

ABC Asks How Will MJ's Children Fare In Their Black Family?

*The media really isn't letting up on Michael's children. It is so unfortunate that a media giant as big as ABC would stoop so low as a headline that reads "How Will Michael Jackson's 'White' Kids Get Along in a Black Family?"

How insulting is that? They are the King of Pop's children. Where on this planet will they find someone who will even give a second glance because they are out with their grandmother or Aunt Janet? Can anyone FIRST say when you will be privy to bumping into them? And their welfare? Are you serious? We all know, at least financially, they will want for nothing.

And while ABC is worrying about how white kids get along in a black family, they need to take a thorough look at the rabid DOG that was just leashed at Duke University. Remember the story we wrote July 1, on this homosexual white male and his partner that adopted a black baby boy and the one was molesting him and having sex with the infant and now that the child was five years old he started selling him on the Internet for sex.

'The Bridge' by Darryl James: What Michelle Obama Represents For American Women

*There was an ignorant email going around right after Barack Obama was elected to the White House.

The email was from a Black woman, announcing to Black men that if they use Obama as a shining example, they can realize that it is possible for Black men to be successful and still have a Black woman on their side.

On its face, the email seems harmless. The pretense is a celebration of President Obama and the love he shares for his wife. But, the underlying message of the email is that he is rare in being a successful Black man and loving a Black woman.

That underlying message is wrong and problematic indeed.

The most essential problem with the message was that Black men have never believed that it wasn’t “okay” to have a Black woman on their side when achieving success. In fact, most successful Black men who are married are actually married to Black women. According to the latest Census statistics, 95% of all Black men who are married are married to Black women.

The only people who are obsessed with the Black man’s alleged pursuit of the white woman are white man, and now, sadly, Black women.

The Federal Reserve Warns On Congressional Scrutiny

The Federal Reserve warned on Thursday that a growing congressional threat to curtail its independence would destabilise markets and raise the cost of servicing US debt for “current and future generations”.

Ron Paul, the Texas Republican, has gathered the support of a majority of the House of Representatives for a bill that would audit the Fed’s monetary policy decisions. He told a Congressional hearing he wanted the power to prevent the Fed being "secret and clandestine and serving special interests”.

The Fed is struggling to face down a political backlash from different parts of Congress amid scepticism over its policies designed to restart the flow of credit and the award of new powers to curb systemic risks.

CIA's Lies About Secret Program Should Have Congress In Open Revolt

If this were the democracy that the Founding Fathers thought they were creating, word from CIA Director Leon Panetta that his agency had lied to Congress and specifically that it had lied repeatedly from 9-11-2001 through the end of 2008 concerning an as-yet undisclosed secret program, would have virtually every member of Congress in a state of rebellion, demanding answers.

After all, the CIA is required by law to report to at least the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and to the majority and minority leaders of both houses of Congress about such things.

But not only did the spy agency not report on what it was up to; it lied about what it was up to.

President Obama Accused of Booty Watching at G8 Summit - But Is He Guilty? (Video)

In case you haven’t heard, President Obama was busy taking care of business last week at the G8 Summit in Italy and he’s catching hell over a picture (above) being distributed by Fox News and other outlets.

But, the real story is in video, not the still photo. It appears that we have been “punk’d” … at least those who believed they were seeing the President staring at some arbitrary girl’s butt.

Plus, why would he look at that can when he’s already got that plus beauty and brains in First Lady Michelle? But who could blame him if he did sneak a quick peek. That’s what men do, even gentlemen. Nothing like a little variety erry now and then.

Now, on the other hand, France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy seems to be going out of his way to check out the ba-donk-a-donk on home girl.

Rapper, The Game, Starting Beef With Jay-Z: He says Beyonce was sexing NBA and NFL athletes? (Video)

*Currently on tour in Europe, Compton rapper The Game is using both the concert stage and his own video blog (scroll down to watch) to step up his attacks on Jay-Z.

According to Archie Fucque's Pulse Report, Jay-Z mentioned The Game, Jim Jones, and Dame rather innocently during performance in Las Vegas,: "I ain't talkin' about gossip, I ain't talkin' 'bout Game/I ain't talkin' about Jimmy, I ain't talkin' about Dame." The Game and Jones quickly responded with Twitter messages. But as Fucque writes, "that was just the beginning for The Game. He went into Internet thug mode, attacking Jay from any form of new media he could find."

Among other Jay disses in the "vlog," he mocks Jigga's sandals worn in a photo of the mogul in Africa, and says the Brooklyn artist looks like a cross between E.T. and Dennis Rodman.

On stage in Madrid, Spain, The Game continued his taunt by screaming to the crowd “f**k Jay-Z” and calling the Roc-A-Fella CEO an “old ass n***a.”

Korn's Thoughtless - Selling Satanism To Suburban Kids

The association of rock music with satanism isn't new. Groups like Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath have exploited this type of imagery decades ago.

I can already see comments saying: “Korn members aren’t Satanic, they’re Christian except for one who is atheist”. That’s great to know. I honestly don’t care what religion artists claim to be. You should also know that I’m not writing this from a “Christian fundamentalist” standpoint. I’m simply not one of those people and I don’t think this way. I have however studied communication models. The aim of this article is to analyze the message of this video as a self-contained cultural product, which is diffused to the masses through media corporations.

Like a common TV advertisement, the video is aimed towards a particular market (teens and pre-teens). It presents a problem to be solved and a solution which addresses the problem. This solution is satanism. Here’s the video

UK School Kids Told To Have Daily Sex

A National Health Service leaflet is advising school pupils that they have a "right" to an enjoyable sex life and that regular intercourse can be good for their cardiovascular health.

The advice appears in guidance circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers, and is intended to update sex education by telling pupils about the benefits of sexual pleasure. For too long, say its authors, experts have concentrated on the need for “safe sex” and loving relationships while ignoring the main reason that many people have sex, that is, for enjoyment.

The document, called Pleasure, has been drawn up by NHS Sheffield, although it is also being circulated outside the city.

Alongside the slogan “an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away”, it says: “Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes’ physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?”

US Presidents Murdered By Rothschild Banksters

The Rothschild interests did succeed, through their agent Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, to force a bill (the National Banking Act) through Congress creating a federally chartered central bank that had the power to issue U.S. Bank Notes. Afterward, Lincoln warned the American people:

"The money power preys upon the nation in time of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed.

"<http://www.servelec.net/lincoln.htm#4>4

Lincoln continued to fight against the central bank, and some now believe that it was his anticipated success in influencing Congress to limit the life of the Bank of the United States to just the war years that was the motivating factor behind his assassination.

Malia Obama Called A Typical Street Whore At The Free Republic

The Free Republic is one of the most mainstream Republican blogs. Though they have a policy which clearly states that they do not support racism violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government, apparently it does not apply to the first family.

BET: Not the Only One to Blame

Just like many others, I tuned in to the BET Awards this year to see their Michael Jackson tribute and I regret helping make it the most watched show of the night. Although I wanted to be proved wrong, the horrible outcome was pretty much expected. BET is a channel where it can't go one hour without exposing children to things that are age inappropriate and making black people look like total7...

Gatti's body was found early Saturday in a hotel room at the Porto de Galinhas resort in northeastern Brazil.

The former junior welterweight champion was apparently strangled with the strap of a purse, which was found at the scene with blood stains, said Milena Saraiva, a spokeswoman for the Pernambuco state civil police.

More Families Are Becoming Homeless, Study Finds

Largest Increases in 2008 Came in Rural and Suburban Areas, Study Finds.

Last year, we saw a 34 percent increase in homeless families and a 24 percent increase in homeless children," he said. "Why do we go beyond capacity? Because in a just society, a child should not have to sleep outside or in a car."

Gill is a frontline witness to the change in the makeup of the country's homeless. The stereotype of a homeless person as a single man no longer applies. A resident of the Bakersfield center is far more likely to be a young mother with a "good, solid job and a mortgage that she just couldn't pay."

In Fresno, Calif., which has one of the country's highest concentrations of poverty, homeless encampments have formed

Obama Ghana Speech: FULL TEXT

Here are President Obama's remarks, as prepared for delivery, from his speech to Ghana's parliament, Saturday July 11, 2009.

Good morning. It is an honor for me to be in Accra, and to speak to the representatives of the people of Ghana. I am deeply grateful for the welcome that I've received, as are Michelle, Malia, and Sasha Obama. Ghana's history is rich, the ties between our two countries are strong, and I am proud that this is my first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as President of the United States.

I am speaking to you at the end of a long trip. I began in Russia, for a Summit between two great powers. I traveled to Italy, for a meeting of the world's leading economies. And I have come here, to Ghana, for a simple reason: the 21st century will be shaped by what happens not just in Rome or Moscow or Washington, but by what happens in Accra as well.
