Reporter throws shoe at George Bush

An Iraqi journalist tries to hit George Bush with a shoe! If only it could have hit him in his ass!

Faison Love hoo bangin on Funkmaster Flex--but why?

Listening to an angry dude from Cali speak is a linguistic experience everyone should have in their lifetime.

So Flex felt compelled to go hard at R. Kelly, and for some reason, Faison "Big Worm" Love, felt compelled to go at Flex! I thought even the hardest folk didn't defend child molesters:

Old School Video of The Week--JACKSON 5's Killing Me Softly

This version sounds so beautiful. Damn Mike, you gotta start sanging again. No typos folks, I wrote SANG-ing.

Calling All Libras

I went to a couple Librafest events last year. Real tough. This BBQ is going to be really special. Pass through if you're in Brooklyn.

I don't get strokes, I give them!

Hello world. The Barber's been out of commission for about a month, but for good reason. Just started my new gig as a 4th grade Special Education teacher. Sigh, moan, puff, pass. I've been keeping my evenings real high-rie to balance and counteract the madness I face at work.

This isn't my first go-round with teaching--been doing it since the turn of the millenium. My students were still sucking nipple and shitting in diapers when I started in fact. But this new experience just could be the challenge of my life to date. Here's a rundown of the disabilities my students [and I] are dealing with:

* Lead Poisoning
* Tourette's Syndrome
* Autism
* ADHD
* Schitzophrenia
* Dementia (hearing voices)
* Severe Emotional Disturbance

All of this in 14 students. Have I received any documents that instruct me on how to educate these kids? Nope. Did I have a classroom when I arrived on the first day? Nope. Should I have 14 students in a class that's legally only supposed to have 12 maximum. Nope.

Here's a rundown of some of the incidents that have occurred in the last two weeks. I have about six pages, front and back, of incidents already. From 14 students.

* Kid brings in handcuffs to class, cuffs himself to his own desk. Asks me for them at lunchtime so that he can "play" with them at lunch.

* One kid talks to his dead brother. Troubling, especially when you learn that he's an only child.

* Student picks up a cabinet, full of hard cover textbooks, and hurls it across my room. Student then proceeds to kick EVERY desk over, and destroy the math area, which is full of tiny manipulatives that can cause choking in small children. Student has to be restrained for a half an hour before he calms down. Student is not yet four feet tall.

* I ask, then tell, then scream at a student to sit down. He responds with a resounding "I don't give a FUCK!". He too has yet to hit the four foot mark.

* Student with lead poisoning climbs cabinet to retrieve the key for the closet, which must be locked to prevent student from gathering his things to make a swift exit from the classroom. Student almost plunges to his death before I catch him in mid-air. He responds with a resounding "Don't touch me!" Student is allowed to fall [gently] to the ground.

* Student pours glue all over teacher's(not mine) desk, then calls her a "fucking bitch, fucking ho". Teacher chases student down the hall and catches him in front of my classroom, which is playing host to the fourth grade team meeting. The entire team [except me] looks on in horror as teacher holds student down in a futile attempt to make him apologize. I guffaw inwardly as student responds, "I'm sorry you fucking bitch, fucking ho!"

That was this week. Can't wait till holiday season rolls around.

I almost quit on day 2, no joke. But then I remembered I was a fucking G (yeah, capita), and decided that no one, or their imaginary friends, will ever break me. To quote Jim Brown in Any Given Sunday, "I don't get strokes, I give 'em!"

Old School Video of The Week--Outkast feat. Cee Lo "IN DUE TIME"

I once read that Cee Lo was supposed to be the third member in Outkast. That would have been some shit. I wonder if the balance would still be there though. It's the balance in Outkast that makes them one of my favorites groups. Two Dope Boys in a Cadillac type shit.

This is one of those songs I had tucked in the back of my brain as one of my all time favorites. But because it was on a soundtrack, I never remembered to pick it up on one of my '90's rap re-ups. (I've bought Enta Da Stage and Dah Shinin and Ironman about five times each already) This song is beautiful, and the video is just as tough.

Mac man is still in it



My sincerest apologies to all who read the previous post.

Apparently, Bernie Mac is NOT dead. Thank God. There were rumors flying around everywhere, and even a scroll on CNN pronounced Mac to be gone.

Again, I hate to put such a thing on someone, please accept my apologies. Bernie Mac is a hero of mine, and I would never intentionally show any disrespect.


Monday, August 4, 2008

Bernie Mac always made me laugh

I can't believe he's gone. One of my favorite comedians, one of my absoute favorite negroes. On some real shit, I'm holding back tears right now.

Mac, you are one of the funniest to ever do it. This clip here is six minutes of the funniest shit I've ever heard in my life. Much love, much respect.

Fonzworth feat. Dre 3000 and Kanye West--"Everybody"

This song is dope as fuck. I could've done without the Fonzworth verse, but DRE 3000 makes this shit all worth it. I also appreciate these fellas for making a real video, not just some riding in a Cadillac bullshit.

Nina Simone, Porgy and Bess, 1962

Miss Simone. Really could be the illest ever. If they make women like this still, please hook me up. This performance makes me want to cry sometimes, it sounds so damn good.




Thank God for my Wallabee shoe, it done saved me!

Ghostface really can't do wrong in my eyes and ears. These are two joints that will forever remain hood classics. Fuck what you heard, listen to this, and then go slap somebody hard.

"Hit the gym for two weeks, my back all chiseled. Elbows unique now, meet the new me"

Nas: Fried Chicken, feat. Busta Rhymes

"Nas what the fans want is Illmatic still..." This is creative shit right here. You be your own judge. Oh, and that annoying ass British dude is NOT talking over this version.




Let Your Soul Be Free-- Soul Banger video

Much love to Jah C of The New Rap Order/The Project/The Antidote. Soul Banger features Cavalier of The Dugout. It's easy to get trapped in the beat, but the lyrics are just as ill. Listen!

This could very well be the song of the summer...and the women in this video are choice!

More Tracy Morgan...

Reminds me of home...he tells the same half-drunk/half-high jokes, but they're funny as fuck. The "Star Jones is sweet like Bear meat" line had me on the floor.



A Pet Rock named Peeve

Just some shit that annoys the hell out of me, that probably never even registers on other people's radar of irritation:

1. The word is IDEA, not 'i-deer' or 'ideal'. Please pronounce the shit properly.

2.Sometimes it's hot outside, and I want everyone to acknowledge that shit. When you see me sweating like Ewing, that's not the time to tell me how the heat doesn't really bother you, or how you kinda like humidity. And if you have an air conditioner in your crib, turn that bitch on. I'm not the one for the 'isn't this fan doing the trick?' shit.

3. Ultra Vegetarians and/or Meat Lover Supremes: I don't give a fuck about what you eat, or how you think about what others eat. I've been a meat AND potatoes kinda fellow.

4. Girls who 'only have guy friends': You know those girls who'll tell you, "I hate girls. All of my friends are guys". Truth is, all them guy friends are merely waiting for their opportunity to smash you out. Reality bites.

5. Recent college graduates: You think you're the smartest people on the fucking planet, and you truthfully some of the stupidest. Special recognition goes to those who have studied the social sciences(i.e. Sociology, Poli Sci, Women's Studies, any ethnic studies). For most of you, you've just learned that the world is fucked up, and you feel compelled to patronize the whole world. Shut up and go get a job.

George Carlin dies at 71



I just woke up to read that George Carlin has passed away at age 71. If you don't know about this man, you should. He is basically Richard Pryor with no melanin. Made cursing an acceptable part of a comedic routine. I was just watching an old stand up show of his the other day, laughing my ass off.

You will be sorely missed.

My brother doesn't know who Carlin is, and is mocking my grief. He's a meanie. Kinda like when Joe Jackson scoffed at Michael when Ben died. Or maybe not. It's fucking early.

But Carlin's passing has made me realize just how wack today's comedians are. I used to stay up to watch Def Comedy Jam back in the day, and now I can't sit through one act. Why is it that so many people today have so little to say? Looking at our society today, there should be hours of material to work with. Yet people are still cooning and shucking and jiving. Here are some of the top comedians in the game now, along with my one/two sentence summary of their careers:

1. Dane Cook--He is actually a white coon. Says a couple funny things here and there, but America's obsession with people who 'just might be gay' is what makes him famous. In my opinion at least.


2. Steve Harvey--Can't front, I listen to his morning show every day on WBLS, but mainly because I can't bear to listen to Miss Jones' poultry-head ass(you pick a bird). He's moderately funny, but his country accent and loud talking is what gets him through.


3. Jimmy Kimmel--He makes me laugh on occasion, but he's a fucking schmuck.


4. Sarah Silverman--Something about her makes me feel like she doesn't bathe with any sort of regularity. Not funny at all. At all. She looks like an uglier version of this chick on HBO's "Tell Me You Love Me".



5. Mike Myers--Seriously? Why is this man continuing to earn money? I understand the Wayne's World/Austin Powers dynasty, but all great dynasties are destined to end.



Here are some people who are fucking hilarious, no matter what the fuck they say:


Patton Oswalt
--That KFC bowl joke is fucking champion status.


Paul Mooney--I saw him perform straight from 7pm to 1 in the morning at Caroline's. I literally laughed myself to sleep.


50 Cent--My team has been said that he should become a stand up comedian. His timing is impeccable.

Rascality--The Disease of African Irritation



I received this book as a gift from a dear friend.

This book is one of the most important scholarly offerings in terms of affirming Africa's deserved place in World History.

The book gives ample evidence to support the fact that Africa is the real mother of what we call 'civilization'. The authors contend that the greatest scholars from Greece and Rome all received their knowledge from African learning centers, and even gave credit to their instructors. Over time, Eurocentric historians have sought to discredit and deny the existence and influence of the African continent.

This blog is dedicated to one specific term-- RASCALITY. I will rewrite the passage European medical misdiagnosis, as written by Molefi Kete Asante:

"The assumptions that caused doctors to misdiagnose Africans were based on attitudes about slavery. How could an African want anything other than slavery? Thus, any African who ran away from the plantation had to be suffering from a particularly bad form of drapetomania, the desire to leave forced labor. If the African happened to show a dislike a for slavery and the overseer or master of the plantation, he or she was diagnosed as having rascality, a disease of Africans who are irritated by their environment.

According to this definition, I am most certainly a RASCAL. As I reflect on [White] American Independence day, my rascality jumps into full gear when I see Black people waving US flags and playing the Star Spangled Banner.

Newports are the 'black cigarette'

Tisch Family owns Newport cigarettes

I read this article the other day in the NY Times. Turns out the Tisch family, long known for its philanthropy, owns the second-most popular cigarette brand, none other than Newport.

They own or have owned all other types of wild shit, including Loew's Theaters, CBS, wild hotels, hospitals, and NYU.

The article suggests that the family no longer wants to be associated with the cigarette, and have apparently been trying to sell it off for the last 40 years. FORTY. I don't buy it folks. Our country specializes in profiting off of our death and illness, so you mean to tell me no one wanted a piece of the second largest cigarette company? I guess the billions of dollars they made helped to ease the guilt.

I found it kinda funny that the Times even knows that Newports are the 'black cigarettes'.

Be A Nigger Too

My buzzin' Rasheed sent the team a link to this new Nas video here.



Say what you will about the brother, but I am going to give him credit for the efforts he's making with this new album. When I first heard that he was no longer calling his album 'Nigger', I was very disappointed with him. I'm tired of black people lacking the courage to, as Malcolm once said, 'tell the white man the truth to his face'. Or tell anyone the truth to their face for that matter. I cringed as Obama denounced his own pastor in order to win the belt (this political shit is as phony and entertaining as wrestling nowadays), and I cover my face when I see Sam Jackson star in "A Time to Kill" only to move on to "Snakes on A Plane".

From what I'm seeing, however, Nas' case is slightly different. He appears to only be changing the title of the album, whereas none of the content will be different. So if this change means that a few more people will purchase the joint and listen to it, then I'm okay with that. It's better than them not listening to it at all.

Quite frankly, there are many folks out here who have no understanding of racism and its direct impact on their lives. Pre-1970, you might see someone getting lynched or firehosed and realized that something's up. Even your typical white bigot knew that their actions bore some sort of prejudice. But today racism is far more subtle and difficult to detect. The young Dominican in an NY public school may have no idea just how inferior the facilities are compared to the virtually whites-only private school just a mile away. The hipster gentrifier who jogs down St. Nicholas or Nostrand Ave. doesn't realize that their mere presence has driven up the price of just about everything in the hood. They don't understand that the reason bodega prices are so cheap is because most neighborhood people can't afford Gristede's and Fairway prices.

The issues that Nas addresses on this record are important for people to hear, because for some, they may never hear it anywhere else. I consider myself to be fairly well read on race matters, but I didn't get most of my knowledge until I got to high school and college. And that's only because I took classes that focused on race. We have people in this country who think racism doesn't exist, yet continue to simultaneously cast Obama as a Muslim while criticizing his Christian pastor!

I'll leave this blog on that note right there.

It's Hot Outside

Given my utter hatred for heat and humidity, I find it hard to believe that I am a descendant of Africa. Anytime it passes oh, 80 degrees, I turn into this fellow here:



I once read that Patrick had to take a shower at halftime, and change into a brand new uniform. I feel him.

Here are five things that get me through an unbearable summer day:

1. Scantily clad women--Even if they're drenching with sweat it's fucking awesome, because then you get a potential wet-T shot. Ladies, I know I've offended you, but you we were looking already.

2. Italian Ice--my personal favorites are served up by the Latina women in the hood who scoop your mango-flavored sugar ice with a pot spoon. I'm not feeling that those shits are a dollar now. Used to be a cool quarter. But then you could only get cherry or coconut.

3. My sweat rag--I'm still on the hunt for the perfect sweat rag. Paper towels are only good for two, maybe three swipes before they shed on your forehead like an Amazonian rattlesnake. Washcloths are okay only if you can rinse and wring them out. Otherwise, it's like wiping your face with a dirty, sticky towel.

4. My one pair of shorts--Folks, I own exactly one pair of shorts, and yes, you will see me rocking those shits on any given hot day. I got camoflauge too, so they could match with everything. And if they don't match the shirt, I'll look like a hipster. I'm not a total dirtbomber, the drawers are different.

5. Diet and exercise--I know that's two things, but if you got a problem, get your own blog. I always get the urge to exercise and eat less during this time of year, and I come back to work in the fall to much fanfare. Maybe I need to move to Arizona or something.


Honorable mention
A sack of bud--I get so blazed that I can't tell if it's hot or not. This also works for winter time!

Here's a golden oldie for y'all:

Liar's Poker--Can the Government keep a straight face once their card gets pulled?

Our country is full of sophomores--wise idiots. We know just enough to think that we know it all, but we don't know enough to realize that we haven't figured out a damn thing.

Ancient Kemetic (egyptian) students engaged in study for at least 42 years before they could be considered scholars. And we have dumb fucks out here who think a GED entitles them to a full slice of the pie, with icing. I think that I can write this blog about stupid Americans, though anytime I've left the country(or NYC) I may as well be wearing a flower shirt, sunscreen on my nose, and Birkenstocks. Shit, even our President was a fucking C student, and his mediocrity is celebrated.

The proverbial chickens are coming home once again to roost in their white-picketed back yard. The first is former President Jimmy Carter's admission that Israel has over 150 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. People are pissed big time with President Carter, because it weakens the Western world's case for denying Iran the right to have nukes of their own. For years now, Israel has been silent about its nuclear capability, while it continues its reign of terror over the Middle East. Yeah, I'm calling those Israelis terrorists, and yeah, I'm never getting a record deal now because of it. But fuck it, a spade is a spade, right? Whether you strap bombs to your chest, or send them over on planes, it's murder. I'm glad Carter spilled the beans on Israel, it's time for the truth to come to light.

The second big spill of the week comes from former White House press secretary Scott McClellan, who is set to release a memoir titled “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and what's wrong with Washington".


McClellan speaks on a number of issues, namely how the Bush administration manufactured and sustained a series of lies that have greatly affected the nation. Major topics in the book include Hurricane Katrina, the CIA leak of Valerie Wilson, and of course, the Iraq War. In each case, the government failed to respond appropriately, and those at the highest levels then would engage in deceit to save face in the public eye.

This presumably will not be the last of the faux pax from this administration to come to light. These are things that I already suspected were afoul in the government--what I worry about are the things that we know nothing about that are going to wreak havoc on the world in the next ten years.

I sincerely doubt that any meaningful consequences will arise from this book, at least not for anyone that matters in the administration. But at the least some of the truth will surface, so that this pathetic group of politicians can't try to write themselves into the books as moral crusaders, fighting war for the people.

Old School Video of The Week-- KMD "Peach Fuzz"

My homie Cavalier reminded me of this hip hop classic. For those of you who didn't listen to hip hop until Eminem came out, this is for you. I remember when the shit had soul(not implying that Em has no soul, his rhythm is impeccable).

Also FYI, see if you can point out MF DOOM, one half of KMD. Rest in peace to his brother Sub Rock.

The Real World--Same ol' Hollywood Shuffle

I can't even lie, I'm a straight sucker for reality TV. Here are my most favorite:

1. Top Chef--Though I probably wouldn't eat any of the food they prepare, I would taste test Padma for sheezy. The show has actually inspired me to cook now, though. My rap is like ziti, and my ziti tastes like a dude named Luigi made it.


2. Deadliest Catch--Never seen a brother on there, prolly never will. We don't really do the artic circle like that. But those dudes are gully as fuck.


3. Deion and Pilar--Deion Sanders is the fucking champ. His one-liners are classic, and Pilar is a living, breathing, Barbie doll. Now I don't necessarily want the women I date to be Barbie replicas, but I would certainly smash one to pieces.


Now onto the meat of the blog sandwich:


I've never really been too big on the Real World, the mother of all reality tv. But I've been drawn to watch the latest season, which takes place in Hollywood. I had heard that MTV dared to put three, yes, 3, black people into the same house, at the same time. I truly can't stand any of them, but that dude Greg is really making me a fan. He blacked out in a manner I've only seen executed by the assholes I chill with. Greg humiliation of those cockblocking ass white girls(I should mention that cockblocking is a federal offense. In man court. Seriously, we fucking hate that shit). Then he took the manhood of Sarah's boyfriend for fun. And not one Negro fist was thrown to shame the race. Speaking of throwing a fist, this clip I found made me fux with the Gregster that much more:

Greg destroying a heavy bag with his cousin


I chose this particular picture to highlight the other black guy on the show, Will. Son is bitch(note: different from being 'a bitch'). Not feeling how he schemed on Greg's girl. Not because it's Greg, and not because it's violation to try to bag your roomate's girl(also a felony in man court. Unless your roomate asks you to. Then it's different).

The problem is that he has splintered a friendship with the only other brother over a white girl's underwear. On some real Birth of A Nation, 'protect the virtue of the white woman' shit. Some of you may not feel me, but hear me out.

Black unity is important, especially when that union is in the public eye. Why? Because we have no fucking Black Unity. Why? Because our self-hatred brainwashes us and makes us afraid to stand together in the face of the public. We fear we'll get chopped down.

No one else wanted to punch the fucking wall after learning that Greg stole the girl's panties. Granted, that shit was mad, mad weird, and strange(like weird), but Will should have confronted him directly, like a fucking man. Instead, he goes after Greg's girl to upset him. Did I mention she was white?

Shit really reminds me of Barack denouncing Reverend Wright. The stakes are high, but what are we really gambling with?

Musings

First off, happy birthday to El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, bka Malcolm X. This brother would have been 83 yesterday if he were still here in the physical.


Congratulations to my baby sister for graduating from college. Her journey to the cap and gown was a long and difficult one, but she handled all the pressure like a fucking G. G for graduate. I love you to life.

I realized that I may be bipolar/manic depressive. All the while I simply figured I had a case of LWBA (living while Black in America), but it may actually be deeper than that. This weekend was full of valleys and peaks, and I couldn't quite pinpoint the source of my anxiety. I wanted to slap fire out of my brother, and hug up my sister all at the same time.

My family's Caribbean heritage forces us to deny the existence of any disease that isn't cancer, hypertension, or diabetes, however. My dad once told me that there are no learning disabilities in Guyana, only lazy children. And that laziness could be beaten out of you. He and his brother were hit with rulers in grade school for being left-handed, so I don't get much sympathy from him for being moody. His remedy? "Son, just go to sleep when you feel like that. That's what I do when I feel down." My remedy? Copious amounts of ganja. It does work on occassion, but I'm tired of walking through life blitzed all the damn time. Too many folks ignore their problems, in hopes that those problems will eventually ignore them. But even if you do ignore the problems in your conscious mind, they will manifest themselves as disease later on in life.

Take the Bipolar quiz at this site to see if you might suffer from it. I scored a 51, which is considered to be severe:
Bipolar Quiz

One of my students told me that she is considering going to JAIL to LOSE WEIGHT. Her rationale is that since she wouldn't like the food, she would eat much less and therefore lose weight. As I laughed to myself, my smile turned to a frown when I realized that she wasn't joking. Nor was the child who told me that he can't wait to graduate, so that he can begin selling crack full time. He is merely in school to fulfill his agreement with his parole officer. My intial thoughts are, "who's to blame for this shit?", but this goes far beyond blame. Finding the culprit, the social engineer really doesn't fucking matter at this point. The damage has been done, and my 30 minutes of counseling is the band-aid on the fractured skull.

Babies need to stop having babies. And I've met 16 year old babies, and 45 year old babies. I tell these youngsters to go to fucking Toys R Us if all they want is a doll. It's much cheaper, and you can throw/give away the doll when you tired of playing with it. A life is nothing to waste.

I love Redman

Given the title of this post, five months ago I would've been prompted to say 'Pause'. But I'm honestly getting sick of that 'no homo' bullshit. Primarily because I'm not gay, and I don't feel the need to give a general disclaimer for everything I say.

Moving on, one of my all-time favorites, Reggie "Redman" Noble, dropped this interview for High Times:



The man is not only one of the greatest stoners of all time, he is a TOP TEN RAPPER. OF ALL TIME. Put any album of his on the chopping block, and it makes the cut. DOCS THE NAME was criminally slept on.

I'll Never Go Back to Georgia. Or does it even matter?

My homie Kal Thrace put me on to this shit. Apparently there's a shop in Georgia that's selling "Obama in '08" shirts, except there's a picture of a monkey eating a banana on it.


Check the CNN story here:
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/05/14/bojorquez.obama.tshirt.controversy.wsb

Change, right Barack? More like, "Nigger, gimme my change for this monkey shirt!" Barack may well have changed some minds in this country, but there are still some Mint Julep/Mocchiata-drinking fucks out there.

In honor of them, I give you one of my favorite songs ever, "I Never Go Back to Georgia", by Joe Cuba. Big ups to Shaka King, aka Mauby Bitters, as this is one of his faves as well.

Work hard for the money

I suffer from irritation. It's a condition brought on primarily by my unforgivable blackness. But I get the sense that even if I was born in Denmark, I would have the same affliction. That being said, I want to do mean things to my co-worker. I don't want her to die or be maimed, but if I could just pinch her mad, mad, MAD hard I would be good for the rest of the day.

You know how some people loathe the thought of having to sit in a cubicle all day, and talk to no one? I'm not one of those people. I'm actually starting to think that I would be quite content in my little corner, provided I could surf the web while I pretend to do my work.

Prodigy's greatest work yet may be done inside the penitentiary

If you grew up in the hood, chances are you know of several folk locked down in a correctional facility. Some are innocent, others guilty as sin. But this doesn't stop them from being your family or lifelong friend. So when you hear someone showing love for all those locked down, respect that. We aren't condoning their actions, but simply letting them know that we remember.

That being said, big shout to PRODIGY of Mobb Deep, who is currently incarcerated. Apparently he has been going IN on his blog. I peeped one of his latest posts, and I must say, I co-sign. Some may call me a conspiracy theorist, but does theory remain theory once you have solid facts to back it up? He speaks on many things in this post, it's a long one.




RITUALISTIC MURDER

WHAT’S GOING ON YALL? WELL EVERYDAY IS AN ADVENTURE IN THIS PLACE. I THINK I’VE READ SO MANY BOOKS THAT I GOTTA TAKE A WEEK OFF FROM READING BEFORE I GET INTO MY NEXT 3 BOOKS. FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS, I’VE BEEN JUST WRITING THESE BLOGS. I HAVE A LIST FULL OF TOPICS I’VE MADE TODAY, SO I CAN JUST LOOK AT THE LIST AND PICK A TOPIC TO BEGIN BREAKING IT ALL DOWN. TODAY, I DECIDED TO GET ON SOME REAL SERIOUS SHIT. ALL MY BLOGS ARE SERIOUS, BUT THIS ONE IS VERY PERSONAL, AND IT WILL HIT CLOSE TO HOME.

TO COMMIT MURDER IS THE MOST EVIL AND CRUEL THING THAT A PERSON CAN DO TO ANOTHER PERSON. BUT, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IS MURDER JUSTIFIABLE AND CLEARLY UNDERSTANDABLE?

FOR EXAMPLE: IF A WOMAN AND HER CHILDREN ARE GETTING READY FOR BED AND A RAPIST BREAKS INTO THEIR HOME AND TRIES TO RAPE THE WOMAN IN FRONT OF HER CHILDREN, BUT ONE OF THE LITTLE BOYS GETS MOMMY’S GUN OR A KITCHEN CLEAVER AND USES IT ON THE RAPIST TO SAVE HIS MOMMY. IS IT JUSTIFIABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE IF THE RAPIST DIES FROM THE WOUND? THERE ARE SEVERAL EXAMPLES LIKE THIS ONE THAT WILL JUSTIFY A PERSON COMMITTING A MURDER.

ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU MURDER A PERSON BECAUSE THAT PERSON SLAPPED YOU ACROSS THE FACE AND CALLS YOU A BITCH, THEN YOU DESERVE TO SIT IN A JAIL CELL WITH MANY YEARS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. THESE TYPES OF MURDERS ARE COMMON AND WE HEAR ABOUT THEM OFTEN ON THE NEWS AND IN THE PAPER: AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER GUNNED DOWN WHILE MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS, THE JEALOUS WOMAN WHO STABBED HER BOYFRIEND TO DEATH IN THE NAME OF LOVE AND RAGE, A FAMILY OF 4 WHO WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER THAT THE POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR, OR THE CHILDREN WHO WERE PLAYING WITH A GUN THAT ACCIDENTLY FIRED KILLING ONE OF THEM. AND AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS THESE ARE THE KINDS OF MURDERS THAT WE ARE USED TO HEARING ABOUT.

BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE RITUALISTIC MURDER?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD OF IT? WELL MANY RITUALISTIC MURDERS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT PEOPLE DON’T EVEN REALIZE THAT A RITUAL IS TAKEN PLACE. FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW: A RITUAL IS A RELIGIOUS OR NON-RELIGIOUS SEQUENCE OF ACTS INITIATED IN ORDER TO CONJURE UP OR PRODUCE A POSITIVE AND/OR NEGATIVE ENGERY. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF RITUALISTIC MURDER, THAT YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T REALIZE:
WAR- IF WEAPONS WERE NEVER CREATED THERE WOULDN’T BE ANY OF THESE HORRIBLE WARS. WAR IS CREATED TO PUT FEAR INTO PEOPLES MINDS; TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE LOW LEVEL ELITE WHO RUN THIS PLANET. IT’S ALSO RITUALISTIC MURDER PLAYED OUT BY SATANIC WORSHIPPERS. MOST OF THE SOLDIERS HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT’S GOING ON. ALSO, WAR CHANGES LAWS AND CREATES NEW ONE’S IN FAVOR OF THE ELITE WHO RUN THE PLANET. SO, THEY CAN IMPOSE THEIR SCHEME ON US ALL. WHICH IS ONE WORLD ORDER!!!
W.T.C. 9-11- IT AMAZES ME HOW THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THIS BUILDING ON SEPTERMBER 11, 2001, ARE NOT RAISING HELL OVER THIS BULLSHIT. THE PRESIDENT (BUSH), THE F.B.I., THE FEMA AND EVERY OTHER GOV. AGENCY ARE LYING TO THEM AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT THE FACTS OF THIS CASE.

THERE WERE BOMBS GOING OFF ON JUST ABOUT EVERY FLOOR AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT CAUSED THE TOWERS TO COLLAPSE SO PERFECTLY IN DEMOLITION FORMATION. THE STEEL BEAMS THAT HELD THOSE BUILDINGS UP WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESTROY WITH FIRE FROM JET FUEL. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY NUMEROUS EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF FIRE, STEEL, AND JET FUEL. IT’S BEEN CONFIRMED BY FIRE MEN ON THE SCENE OF THE MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS OF BOMBS GOING OFF. THE SURVIVERS, POLICE, WITNESSES AND DEMOLITIAN EXPERTS ALL CONFIRM THE SAME. ONE FIREMAN BADLY INJURED, BUT SURVIVED WHILE SAVING LIVES WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE NEWS REPORTERS INTERVIEWED HIM.

IN HIS INTERVIEW HE SAID HE’D SEEN THE ACTUAL BOMBS WITH HIS VERY OWN EYES EXPLODING. WHEN HE RECOVERED FROM HIS INJURIES HE WENT HOME AND WEEKS LATER WAS FOUND DEAD. THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS PROCLAIMED TO BE A SUICIDE. THE NEWSPAPERS SAID (AND I READ THIS MYSELF,) THE FIREMAN SHOT HIMSELF 8 TIMES AND DIED FROM THE SELF-INFLICTING GUNSHOT WOUNDS. I CAN’T BELIEVE NOBODY ELSE HAS BROUGHT THIS UP IN A CONVERSATION ANYWHERE. PEOPLE, THESE ARE FACTS.

LOOK THEM UP AND YOU’LL SEE. SIMPLY GOOGLE OR USE ANY SEARCH ENGINE OF YOUR CHOICE. ALSO, IN ORDER TO PROVE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT SOME SPOOKY ARAB TERRORIST DID THIS, AMAZINGLY THE PASSPORT FROM ONE OF THE “SUPPOSED,” TERRORIST MADE IT THROUGH THE INCREDIBLE “STEEL MELTING” FUEL FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS. THE PASSPORT SURVIVED UN-SCRATCHED, NOT MELT/BURNT AT ALL, TO THE GROUND WHERE THE F.B.I. DISCOVERED IT AND PLACED IT IN EVIDENCE BAGGY.

YEARS LATER, A YANKEE PLAYER CRASHED HIS PRIVATE PLANE INTO A MANHATTAN APARTMENT BUILDING; BUT AMAZINGLY HIS PASSPORT FROM HIS POCKET MADE IT THROUGH THE FUEL BURNING FIRE AND EXPLOSION, UN-SCRATCHED, NOT MELT/ BURNT AT ALL WHERE THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPT. DISCOVERED IT. SO, NOW THEY SAY, “SEE IT CAN HAPPEN!”

PRESIDENT BUSH SAYS DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE ON 9/11 “WE WILL NOT TOLERATE OUTRAGEOUS CONSPIRACY THEORIES!” YEAH, I BET HE AND THEY WON’T TOLERATE A PROPER INVESTIGATION OR SHARING THE FACTS IN THE CASE; PLUS WITNESS TESTIMONY WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE DECEASED EITHER. I CAN HEAR HIM NOW: “OH, WE DEFINETLY WON’T TOLERATE THAT SHIT!” THE SAME DAY, SEPT. 11TH 2001, SOMETHING ALSO HIT THE PENTAGON.

BE IT A PLANE OR MISSILE, IT DOESN’T MATTER. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THE FACT THAT THE PENTAGON WAS SET ON FIRE, THEY’VE ACTUALLY SET A PENTAGRAM ON FIRE. ONLY SATANIC WORSHIPPERS SET PENTAGRAMS ON FIRE, WHEN THEY PRACTICE THEIR RITUALS.

THEREFORE, BY KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN A MASS CREAMATION IN THE W.T.C. TOWERS AND BURNING A PENTAGRAM AT THE SAME TIME, THEY’VE COMMITED RITUALIST MURDER FOR ALL TO WITNESS, AND BROUGHT FORTH AN AMOUNT OF NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT WE DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND. JUST IMAGINE WHEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED IN WAR. ….

ALSO, THE PENTAGON AND THE W.T.C. ARE STRATEGICALLY BUILT ON NATURAL ENERGY LINES THAT CRISS-CROSS THE ENTIRE PLANET. IT’S CALLED “THE WORLD GRID” OR “PLANETARY GRIDLINES.”

WHEREVER THESE LINES CROSS, THE EARTH PRODUCES NATURAL ENERGY THAT SHOOTS UP AND DOWN IN A VORTEX OR DOUBLE HELIX SHAPE. JUST LIKE THE SHAPE OF DNA. (PEOPLE IF YOU RESEARCH YOU WILL LEARN.) THIS VORTEX OF ENERGY IS NATURAL AND CAN BE USED FOR POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE; DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU’RE DOING WITH IT.

MANY IMPORTANT STRUCTURES ARE BUILT ON THESE CROSSING GRID LINES. THIS NATURAL SOURCE OF ENERGY CAN ALSO BE USED TO POWER THE WORLD WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, NUCLEAR ENERGY, GAS, FUEL OR ANYTHING ELSE THEY’VE GOT TO ENSLAVE, POISON, AND OR MAKE PROFIT OFF US ALL. BUT THAT IS A TOPIC FOR ANOTHER DAY.

MISSING CHILDREN- FOR YEARS CHILDREN HAVE BEEN DISAPPEARING AT AN ALARMING RATE. WE’VE ALL SEEN THEM ON THE BACK OF MILK CARTONS AND THE NEWS. BUT SINCE AROUND 1999, FEDS MAGAZINE HAS BEEN DEDICATING 2 PAGES OF EVERY ISSUE TO MISSING CHILDREN. MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ARE MISSING AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE STRESSING THE QUESTION TO WHY. WHERE ARE ALL THESE CHILDREN GOING?

HOW CAN YOU HAVE SO MANY MISSING CHILDREN AND NOT HAVE IT DECLARED AS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY? I CAN TELL YOU WHAT’S GOING ON HERE, BUT THE ANSWER IS VERY DISTURBING AND DOWN RIGHT DISGUSTING……………….. THESE “ELITE” GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT YOU KEEP HEARING ME SPEAK OF ARE BROKEN DOWN INTO SEVERAL GROUPS WITH SMALLER FRACTIONS. THEY’RE THE SECRET SOCIETIES OF THE WORLD.

NOW, LET ME CLEAR SOME THINGS UP BEFORE I GET INTO THIS. WHEN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF SECRET SOCIETIES RIGHT AWAY THEY THINK OF THE “MASONS,” AND YES THE MASONS ARE A SECRET SOCIETY. THEN SOME WILL SAY THAT “THE MASONS ARE NOT SOME ELITE GROUP WHO RUN THE WORLD.

THEY’LL SAY MY FATHER IS A MASON AND HE’S JUST HARMLESS OLD MAN.” AND I CAN RELATE, BECAUSE MY GRANDFATHER WAS A MASON AND HE WAS JUST A FAMOUS HARMLESS OLD JAZZ PLAYER, WHO DIED IN HIS SLEEP WHILE ON TOUR. BUT, THESE TYPES OF MASONS ARE AT THE LOWEST LEVEL OF THEM. THE HIGH RANKING MASONS WILL LET REGULAR JOES BECOME LOW RANKING MEMBERS, SO THOSE PEOPLE WILL SPREAD THE WORD AND TELLING OTHERS THAT THE MASONS ARE HARMLESS.

BUT THESE LOW RANK MEMBERS HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT’S GOING ON AT THE TOP. SINCE FEMALES ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE MALE SECRET SOCIETIES SUCH AS THE MASONS, THE MALES CREATED A FEMALE VERSION CALLED “THE EASTERN STARS,” AND THERE ARE OTHER FEMALE GROUPS AS WELL.

BUT ALL OF THESE FEMALE GROUPS, NO MATTER HOW HIGH RANKING THEY BECOME NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY IDEA OR CLUE OF WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE REAL ELITE MALE GROUPS.

THE MALES JUST GAVE THE FEMALES THEIR OWN GROUP SO THEY TOO CAN SPREAD THE WORD AND SAY “ITS HARMLESS, MY MOTHER IS AN EASTERN STAR.” ALL OF THIS KEEPS THE ACTIONS AND TRUE INTENTIONS OF THE REAL ELITE MALE SECRET SOCIETIES JUST THAT, A SECRET. THE MASONS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE ELITE GROUPS. ONE OF THE HIGHEST OF THESE SOCIETIES IS ‘SKULL & BONES,” AT YALE UNIVERSITY.

THE SKULL & BONES GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE PIRATES AND WAY BEFORE THEN. ANOTHER OLD SOCIETY HIGH UP ON THE TOTEM POLE IS THE ‘BOHEMIAN GROVE” SECRET SOCIETY. THIS GROUP OF ELITE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPOSED. THEY HOLD MEETINGS IN THE CALIFORNIA REDWOOD FOREST AND PRACTICE RITUALS WHERE THEY WORSHIP A GIANT DEMON OWL CALLED “MOLECH” AND THEY DO “MOCK” SACRIFICES TO THEIR GOD “MOLECH”’ WHERE THEY BURN A BABY IN A BONFIRE, WITH HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS WATCHING.

CONTROVERSIAL TALK SHOW HOST “ALEX JONES” RECENTLY SNUCK A CAMERA INTO THE WOODS AND FILMED THE ENTIRE CEREMONY. ALSO PICTURES OF MEMBERS IN HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVITES THAT TAKE PLACE AT BOHEMIAN GROVE MEETINGS, HAVE SURFACED ON THE NEWS AND NEWPAPERS. PLEASE DON’T BELIEVE ME, RESEARCH ALL OF THIS YOURSELF ON THE NET.

PEOPLE I’M SORRY TO SAY BUT 95% OF THESE MILLIONS OF MISSING CHILDREN ARE BEING USED AS A PART OF THESE ELITE SOCIETIES DEMONIC AND SATANIC RITUALS. THEY ARE BEING SEXUALLY MOLESTED BECAUSE IN THESE IN THESE SATANIC RITUALS WHEN THEY MOLEST A CHILD THEY’RE CONJURING UP A NEGATIVE ENERGY.

THEY CALL THIS ENERGY ‘SATAN” OR “THE DEVIL.” SATAN OR THE DEVIL IS NOT A PERSON, IT’S SIMPLY A NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT CAN COMPLETELY TAKE OVER A PERSONS BODY, MIND & SOUL. THE PICTURE AND IMAGE THAT WE ALL HAVE KNOWN OF THE DEVIL WITH AN ALL RED BODY AND HORNS, TAIL PLUS PITCHFORK IS JUST AN ARTIST RENDITION OF THIS VERY SAME ENERGY.

NOT ONLY ARE THESE MISSING CHILDREN BEING USED AS SEXUAL TOOLS IN SATAN WORSHIP, BUT THEY’RE ALSO BEING EATEN AS A PART OF THESE VERY SAME RITUALS. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE THAT CANNIBALISM IS A PART OF SATANIC WORSHIP, AND IS A PART OF THE RITUALS THAT TAKE PLACE. THEY TELL THE PUBLIC ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE JEFFREY DAHMER AND OTHER’S LIKE HIM, BUT THEY LEAVE OUT THE PART ABOUT WHY THEY’RE DOING IT. LOOK AT MOVIES LIKE “SILENCE OF THE LAMBS” OR THE ORIGINAL “SILENCE OF THE LAMBS,” WHERE THEY STOLE THE IDEA FROM IS A MOVIE CALLED “MANHUNT.”

ALSO WATCH THE MOVIE “HANNABAL” AND THERE IS ANOTHER MOVIE BY THE HUGHES BROTHERS ABOUT THE REAL STORY OF JACK THE RIPPER, STARRING JOHNNY DEPP. I FORGOT THE NAME OF IT BUT JUST USE THE INTERNET PEOPLE! IT’S VERY SIMPLE. JUST DO A SEARCH ON HUGHES BROTHERS FILMS. ANYWAY, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN CAUSE THERE’S SOME SICK SHIT GOING ON RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR FACES. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 5 TO 10% OF MISSING CHILDREN, ARE BEING ABDUCTED BY SOME MENTALLY SICK INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED PERMANENT JAIL CELL THERAPY. BUT THE OTHER CHILDREN ARE BEING STRATEGICALLY KIDNAPPED AND USED IN THESE SATANIC CEREMONIES. THESE PEOPLE ARE ALSO SICK, BUT IN A WHOLE OTHER WAY.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN GENOCIDE- GENOCIDE IS THE SYSTEMATIC AND PLANNED EXTERMINATION OF AN ENTIRE NATIONAL, RACIAL, POLITICAL, OR ETHNIC GROUP. SO IN THIS CASE BLACK PEOPLE IN AFRICA, AMERICA AND OTHER REGIONS ARE THE GROUP. STARTING WITH AFRICA, EVER SINCE THE EUROPEANS, SPECIFICALLY THE HYKSOS DYNASTY, INVADED EGYPT THE WHOLE CONTINENT AND THE WORLD HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME.

AFTER THE HYKSOS AND ROMANS CAME IN AND COMPLETELY WIPED OUT EGYPTIAN POWER AND TOOK TOTAL CONTROL OF THE SACRED LAND. CLEOPATRA, THE LAST TRUE BLOODLINE OF THE PHAROAHS OF EGYPT AND LAST TRUE EGYPTIAN QUEEN HAD 2 CHILDREN WITH THE WHITE MAN FROM THE HYKSOS NAMED “MARK ANTHONY.” THEN WHEN THE ROMANS CAME “OCTAVIA,” THE LEADER OF THE ROMAN ARMY OVERTHREW THE EGYPTIANS AND HYKSOS.

“CAESAR,” ONE OF THE TOP ROMAN SOLDIERS HAD A SON WITH CLEOPATRA AND STOLE THE ORIGINAL STORY OF ISIS, OSIRIS AD HORUS TO CLAIM AS THEIR OWN. IT’S VERY TRICKY AND MANIPULATIVE WHAT THEY (HYKSOS & ROMANS) DID. CLEOPATRA IS OBVIOUSLY AND FACTUALLY A BLACK WOMAN. SHE WAS THE LAST BLOODLINE OF THE PHAROAHS & QUEEN OF EGYPT. THE HYKSOS & ROMANS ARE OF THE SAME CANAANITE BLOODLINE, IN OTHER WORDS THEY’RE RELATED. THEY’RE ALL CAUCASIANS WHO COME FROM THE CAUCUS MOUNTAINS AND MIGRATED INTO DIFFERENT PARTS OF EUROPE.

THIS IS THE ORIGIN OF THE ENTIRE WHITE RACE OF PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THE ENTIRE BLACK RACE OF PEOPLE CAN FIND OUR ORIGIN IN AFRICA, AND FROM THERE WE MIGRATED ALL OVER THE WORLD. ANYWAY, THE EUROPEANS THAT INVADED EGYPT HAD A PLAN TO MIX THEIR SEED WITH THE BLOODLINE OF THE PHAROAHS SO THAT THEY CAN CLAIM THEMSELVES AS EGYPTIAN ROYALTY, THEN DESTROY ALL ARTIFACTS (OR AS MANY AS POSSIBLE) THAT PROVE BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE REAL EGYPTIAN ROYALTY AND BLOODLINE OF THE PHAROAHS, AND REPLACE THEM WITH DRAWINGS AND SCULPTURES OF THE SAME PHAROAHS & PEOPLE OF EGYPT, BUT WITH EUROPEAN FEATURES LIKE PALE SKIN THIN POINTED NOSES AND THIN LIPS. ALSO STRAIGHT HAIR AND BLUE EYES.

I HAVE ACTUAL PICTURES AT HOME OF EUROPEANS INSIDE THE PYRAMIDS, TEMPLES AND TOMBS REPAINTING HIEROGLYPHICS AND DRAWINGS ON THE WALLS. WHEN YOU SEE EGYPTIAN MONUMENTS, STATUES AND ARTIFACTS WITH THEIR NOSES, LIPS AND OTHER FEATURES CHOPPED AND BROKEN OFF (USUALLY ALWAYS THE NOSE & LIPS CAUSE THOSE ARE THE MOST OBVIOUS BLACK FEATURES) IT’S 99% OF THE TIME CAUSE THE EUROPEANS DON’T WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT THESE MOTHERS & FATHERS OF CIVILIZATION WERE & ARE BLACK PEOPLE. NAPOLEAN BONAPARTE WAS INFAMOUS FOR USING CANNONS’ TO BLOW THE LIPS & NOSE OFF THE SPHINX AND OTHER GIANT EGYPTIAN MONUMENTS.

LITTLE TO HIS KNOWLEGDGE, THE SPHINX WAS BUILT TO REPRESENT THE MIXING OF CLEOPATRA’S & MARK ANTHONY’S BLOOD. THE SPHINX IS HALF BLACK WOMAN AND HALF BEAST, WHICH SYMBOLIZES THE DOWNFALL OF THE PURE BLOOD BLACK PHAROAHS. NAPOLEAN WAS JUST SO UPSET TO SEE BLACK FACES AND FEATURES THAT HE STARTED BLASTING AWAY. SO PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO OF THE BLACK GENOCIDE WAS COMPLETED.

THEY SUCCESSFULLY MIXED THEIR BLOOD WITH THE BLOODLINE OF REAL BLACK ROYALTY AND THEY BEGAN TO REWRITE AND REFACE BLACK HISTORY. NOW IT WAS ON TO PHASE THREE, FOUR AND FIVE; TO ENSLAVE, REPROGRAM AND KILL WHOEVER RESISTED. THEY BOUGHT SHIT LOADS (EXCUSE ME, BOAT LOADS) OF BLACKS TO THE “NEW” YORK (YORK WAS THE RULING HOUSE OF ENGLAND) AND THEY FORCED US TO BUILD AMERICA. WE DIDN’T “BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK & ROLL” WE BUILT THIS CITY WITH BLACK SLAVERY.

THEN AFTER OUR: GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDPARENTS AND THEIR GREAT, GREAT BROKE THEIR BACKS, GOT BEATEN TO DEATH, WERE LYNCHED, MURDERED, AND RAPED, AFTER WE SLAVED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND MADE THE EUROPEANS RICH OFF OUR HARD WORK & BLOOD. THEY SAID NIGGERS!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE FREE TO GO, JUST DON’T GO THERE AND YOU CAN’T SIT HERE AND NIGGERS AIN’T ALLOWED IN THERE AND NEVER, NEVER, EVER PUT YOUR DIRTY BLACK PAWS OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT, ALL OF THAT WAS PART OF THE PLAN TO REPROGRAM OUR MINDS. BAD ENOUGH WE WERE ALREADY MENTALLY BEAT DOWN FROM SLAVERY, NOW THEY WANTED US TO FEEL WORTHLESS, HOPELESS AND LOOK AT OUR OWN SELVES LIKE AN ANIMAL WHO DIDN’T DESERVE THE RIGHTS OF A HUMAN. THEY REALLY HAD NO MORE USE FOR US AFTER THEY STOLE OUR LINEAGE, OUR KNOWLEDGE, TECHNOLOGY, FASHION, MUSIC, WOMEN AND SPIRIT, (HOLD UP, NOT DONE) AND THE MOST VALUABLE THING THE WHITE PEOPLE HAS STOLEN WAS OUR LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES IN AFRICA. SO SINCE THEIR MISSION IS DONE, IT’S TIME TO KEEP A FEW SAFE NIGGERS AND KILL OR JAIL THE REST. ALL THE WHILE PRACTICING THEIR RITUALISTIC MURDER TO CONJURE UP ALL OUR ENERGY KEEPING US IN A SLAVE MENTAL STATE CONTROLLED!!!!!!!

QUESTION: SINCE YOU ARE NOW A FREE NIGGER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR FREETIME?

Portishead should be my back up band

Lemme lighten the mood a bit for the weekend. I peeped this on some insomniac shit on the Current Channel. So happy they put this Portishead performance on youtube, they're one of my favorite groups in the world. They have the abILLity to make their live show sound damn near just like the radio. If anyone knows the name of this song, please put it in the comments.

10 rules to follow if you are stopped by police

As we proceed, to give you what you need! I got this from the Government's dirt website, pardon the plagarism. But I think they would agree that this is useful information worth spreading.



If you have a confrontation with the police - know your rights and know what you should or should not do to give them up. Just follow these 10 rules:

1. Don’t Talk.
Do not say a word to the officer. Just shut up! I cannot stress to you the importance of this rule. Do not talk! Do not attempt to convince the officer of your innocence. Everyone is innocent, no one should be arrested and no one should be in jail and that is all the officer hears all day every day. He / she does not care generally whether you are innocent or guilty and there is nothing that he / she can do at this point. Most times, when people speak to officers they say something that makes their situation far worse. Keep your mouth shut, there will be plenty of time to talk later.

2. Don’t Run.
I said above to listen to the officer and follow his / her instructions. Do not be scared and do not let the liquid courage, aka alcohol, convince you that you can outrun the twelve officers and helicopter that will track you down. Also, police become highly suspicious that someone running has a weapon and may be quick to draw their weapon. Additionally, when they do run you down expect much stronger force used to subdue a fleeing suspect.

3. Never Resist Arrest.
Perhaps the most important thing not to do is touch the police officer at all! Again, sober up quick and follow what the officer says. Many people attempt to bump the officer or swat an officers hands away. This often falls under the assault statutes and now a minor misdemeanor arrest becomes a FELONY. Thus a reckless driving charge leads to a year or more in state prison. Additionally, touching the officer in any way can lead to a baton in the mouth.

4. Don’t Believe the Police.
It is perfectly legal for the police to lie to get you to make an admission. The police frequently separate two friends and tell one the other one ratted him / her out. Because of the lie, the other friend now rats the first friend out. Police and detectives also state that “it will be easier” to talk now…LIES!!! DON’T BELIEVE THIS BS! It will only be easier for the police to prove their case!

5. No Searching.
Do not allow the police to search anywhere! If the police officer asks, they do not have the right to search and must have your consent. If you are asked make sure you proclaim to any witnesses that “You (the police) do not have consent to search.” If they perform the search anyway, that evidence may be thrown out later. Also, if you consent to a search, the officers may find something that you had no idea you had placed somewhere, ie: marijuana left by a friend. Remember, that denying the police consent to search DOES NOT give them the probable cause they would need to conduct a search.

6. Don’t Look At Places Where You Don’t Want Police to Search.
Police are trained to watch you and react to you. They know that you are nervous and scared and many people look to the areas that they don’t want the police to search. Do not react to the search and do not answer any questions. LOOK DOWN AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!

7. Do Not Talk Shit to the Police.
I don’t care if you have been wrongly arrested and the true culprit is standing in front of you. Don’t talk shit! Police hear all day that my dad is the the Governor’s Assistant’s Intern and I will have your badge for this! Police have a lot of discretion in the upcoming charges brought. Police can add charges, change a misdemeanor to a felony, or even talk to the prosecutor that is ultimately prosecuting you.

8. If Police Come to Your Home, Do not Let Them In and Do Not Step Outside Your Home.
If the police are confident you have committed a felony, they are coming in anyway, because they generally don’t need an arrest warrant. Make it clear to the police by stating: “No you may not come in”, or “I am comfortable talking right here”, or “You need a search warrant to enter my home.” If they return, your attorney can arrange for you to turn yourself in should that be necessary and you will spend no time in jail between the hearings.

9. Outside Your Home Arrested, Do Not Accept Offer to Go In Your Home for Anything.
The officer may say to you, how about you go inside and change, freshen up, talk to your wife, husband, get a jacket, or any other reason. The police will graciously escort you in and then tear your home apart searching through it. Also, do not let them secure your car. Your car is fine. Remember they are lying to you. They don’t give a damn if you are really cold or if you need to talk to your wife or husband.

10. Don’t say a word.
It’s incredible how many people feel that they can convince the officer, the booking officer or a detective (if your case reaches that stature) that they are not guilty. YOUR CASE IS NOT DECIDED BY THESE PEOPLE. They have no affect on your records. Wait to speak to your lawyer! The courts give enormous weight to “confessions” during this stage. A suspect is almost NEVER released after being arrested.

Follow these ten simply rules religiously and many of your rights will remain intact. I don’t care how nervous, scared or drunk you are, THESE RULES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, and will help you tremendously in the short and long run. And remember - we are not your lawyer!

Reverend Wright--A Black man with Balls. Or maybe just a functioning Brain.

I commend Bill Moyers for being a real journalist and allowing Reverend Wright to state his opinion. The integrity of the media has been compromised since the days of Randolph Hearst and his 'yellow journalism', and it has yet to improve. When I used to teach children, I always told them to question, especially if it's the media. They have used a paragraph of a long sermon to discredit a pastor worthy of much respect, and potentially ruin the campaign of Obama.

Here's a link to the full transcription of Bill Moyers interview with Reverend Wright:

The Deaf leading the Blind--Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Don't Speak on Evil


I know I just said I wouldn't wax philosophical on the Sean Bell murder trial, but, well, I lied.

Here are some 'interesting' facts about this case that the media has casually skipped over:

* The cops in question were all said to be drinking at the Kalua club that night, but were never given a breathalizer test. I guess cops don't act differently when intoxicated.


* Guzman and Benefield were not taken as credible witnesses because they had criminal records and smoked weed. The cops, however, were not at the bar trailing these individuals. And if it's just to get shot because you smoked weed, then there would be a whole slew of people getting shot. Wonder what would have been said if Bill Clinton got bucked by police.

* Judge Arthur Cooperman RETIRED after giving his verdict. Hmmmm....

Now on to the blog.

The Cointelpro did a real number on the Black community. If you don't know, this government sponsored program was given the assignment to neutralize any and all potential black leaders in order to prevent the rise of a Black messiah.

Martin R.I.P. Malcolm R.I.P. Medgar R.I.P. Fred Hampton R.I.P. ---> I think you get the point.

This brings me to the aftermath of this Sean Bell tragedy. Truthfully, I expected the officers to be acquitted, because our government is still full of racist fucks.

A lot of folks out there are pointing to the Obama phenomenon, and even David Paterson, New York's first black governor, as evidence that racism is fading in America. Two words--bull, shit.

It's truly sad to watch intelligent, grown-ass men have to succumb to politics and not speak the truth to the people they are supposed to represent. Obama has stated that though the shooting appeared to be excessive, the judge has made his ruling, and it should be respected. I just read in the Daily News that Paterson reacted unfavorably to Sharpton's notion of 'shutting the city down' in protest. Here's what Paterson had to say:

"People are trying to go to work. We're trying to conduct commerce here....From the perspective of management of government, you never want your city shut down."

When Paterson's sucker-ass wasn't governor, he marched with Sharpton in protest of the Amadou Diallo killing. But now that he's the state number 1 guy, he has business to protect? What about your fucking people? I know he can't see nobody with his blind ass, but that ain't no excuse.

Seriously speaking though, we have a real lack of leadership in the Black community. If we have a President and Governor who are too scared to speak the truth, then what hope do we have?

One might make the argument that these men have to make such statements to protect themselves, but for me that is simply an excuse for cowardice. Obama tries to come off as this straight shooter, but in reality he is going to do whatever is necessary to win his nomination. He's thrown his own pastor of 20 years under the bus for this shit. How can Obama show his face in that church ever again?

Old School Video of The Week--FUCK THE POLICE!!!



Though there's no official video for this, I would have personally used the Rodney King beating tape. Anyhow, FUCK THEM COPS. People been like, "Barber, you ain't worried about cops and internet Feds tracking you?" And I say, "Nigga, they been following my black ass! And if I'ma go out, I'ma go out having said what needed to be said."

The Ballot, or the Bullet? A time to kill? Whom?




I send a prayer to the family and friends of brother Bell, who is hopefully resting in peace.

Even if those bitch-ass cops got 25 years for shooting Sean Bell, they still got off easier than Bell did.

This shit reminds me of that movie A Time To Kill, probably the last good Sam L. Jackson flick. Specifically, I'm reminded of the last courtroom scene when Matthew McConaughey's character has to force the jury to think of the victim as a little white girl in order for them to understand the depth of the crime committed against the young black girl. This country is so racist that it can't perceive wrongdoing unless it's done to one of its chosen people. So instead of waxing philosophical on how this case has been fucked up since that tragic night, I want to provide some similes for folks who just may not get it:

Sean Bell's murderers getting off is kinda like:

1. OJ Simpson killing another white woman(a Jew at that), getting acquitted, and holding a press conference flanked by Farrakhan and Professor Griff from Public Enemy.

2. Seinfeld, Friends, Sex and the City, and Will & Grace all being canceled and replaced with episodes of The Parkers.

3. A man getting castrated, then getting hired to be a judge in a blowjob contest at the Playboy mansion.

4. Having your Sag Harbor summer home confiscated and given over to the Fresh Air Fund. Then having your trust fund donated to the United Negro College Fund.

5. Obama winning the Presidency, then hiring Reverend Wright as the official White House Chaplain.

It's kinda like all of that shit, times every day of your fucking life.

Next up to bat--The Dugout



For the next few months, I will be making it my business to give exposure to music that needs to be heard round the world. For all of the "Yungs" and "Lils" of the world, you have a collective called The Dugout who allow you to exhale. I chose these guys first, because they have garnered a respectable amount of attention with no label deal. At a recent show I attended at Brooklyn's Southpaw, I watched this group take over the night with their energy. Point blank, The Dugout just might be my favorite crew right now. They're all over Baje One's "Weightless EP", which was recently released on Def Jux Records for FREE download. I've been to a few shows before, and trust your Barber, they're worth seeing. Check out the title track from this EP featuring Mercury.



Here's a video I peeped for a song of Mercury's called "TCB". I appreciate anyone who appreciates TCB. Kept combs from breaking in my family for years! Anyhow, I don't think the song has much to do directly with activator spray:



I first remember seeing Cavalier in a VH1 commercial that aired during the first Hip Hop Honors ceremony. I've also seen his name popping up in various blogs, including The Smoking Section. There's a damn good reason too. Check this video he did for a song called "Dionne"



I did a lil' post on StarPower's Petting Zoo mixtape, which is still my favorite release of '08. Here's a track from it called
Syllable Texture:

A Calypso for Barack by Mighty Sparrow

This dude Barack is really pulling people together. Here's a song by the Mighty Sparrow, a legendary Calypso singer from Trinidad. I consider him to be one of the greatest emcees who have ever lived. Check this tune set to a video montage of brother Obama.

Old School Video of The Week-- East Flatbush Project "Tried by 12"

"Cuz I'd rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6".

Undoubtedly one of the illest rap beats ever. This is one of the crews that should get honorable mention at Hip Hop Honors, for the beat alone. I just saw Video Music Box again for the first time in years, so Uncle Ralph inspired me.

The intro is dumb long, but the video is on there.

DL Hughley--a traitor to the race? But, what's race?

Not really sure what to think of this. I grew up on DL Hughley, so I"m used to his brand of comedy. I don't think he should have told this Rutgers joke on Jey Leno perhaps though.



Here's DL reaction to a protest against him in Fort Worth Texas



I don't know if I'm for free speech, honestly. I know that I got some shit to say, and I want to be able to say it, but I wish some people could just shut the fuck up.

Here's my short list of people who should shut the fuck up:

1. George Bush--Just shut the fuck up already. Spend these last few months of your reign on the free world trying to beat level 3 in Pac Man. He's the type of guy to try to get one last hurrah in before he bounces. Ehem, Iran. Cough.

2. Miss Jones (Hot 97 personality)-- Bitch, shut the fuck up. And you know I mean it, cuz I never call women bitches to their face. I can't take your cackling, chicken head behavior on the radio anymore.

3. The Street Pharmacists on my corner-- Sorry, I don't want to buy hard drugs from you at this intersection. And yeah the chick next to me who looks like she could be my moms, is my moms. And she don't want none either.

4. Everybody, sometimes-- Sometimes, everybody need to shut the fuck up.

Old School Video of The Week--"Jesus Walks"

Okay, this video ain't that old, and I'm not big on the white Jesus myth. But hey, it's Easter, and moms made macaroni pie. What better way to commemorate the rising of Christ than this video? (maybe some gospel, perhaps)

Some random shit that needed to be said. By me, anyways...

1. I'm not a fan of reality television, but I watch the hell out of it. I peeped how at the end of VH1 commercials, a quiet voice says, "Watch and Discuss". Reminds me of the old popcorn scent in the movie theater trick. Subliminal messages y'all, watch out!

All that aside, I watched Making the band 4 this weekend. And I REALLY want to smash out that chick Aubrey of Danity Kane. The one with the silver pum-pum shorts. I would also give honorable mention to D. Woods, who would also get it. It is simply part of a man's nature to survey a group of women, and pick who you would/would not smash out. Which leads me to say that Shannon looks horrible with that blonde hairstyle. I would've smashed her in that redhead 'do.

What brought me to this conclusion about Aubrey though was minute 2:04 of this video below. As Lennon once said, Imagine.




2. The black nihilist in me makes it difficult to accept the Obamania sweeping the nation. If he is even 10% as genuine as he comes off, then we will have a better leader for this country. Peep his extremely well-crafted speech on race, given yesterday:



3. Lebron James will be the best player. Ever. If it isn't Kobe.


Fuck Jordan with his elitist ass. I heard he used to fuck Janet Jackson at every All-Star game. Props for that. Should've fucked her at the Super Bowl that year.

4. Nothing can look, smell, taste, and feel better than a woman. A nagging woman, however, sounds like Lee press on nails on a chalkboard.

5. Family is the most important thing. To me.

6. The hood NEEDS to stop smoking Dutches and Newports.

7. As sick as I am of these so-called rap beefs, Papoose REALLY went in on Fat Joe in "A Fair One". That section about Joe reppin the South now instead of the BX is, well, true. Shit was a bit long(7 minutes plus), but this is how beefs should go down. On wax, not Photoshop.



8. Eliot Spitzer. Ha. Karma is a bad bitch, ain't she? I would've smashed Kristin, if she wasn't a WHORE. And a whore who charges 4 G's. Bananas. But, playing Devil's advocate, I guess a $10 DC prostitute isn't the most appealing sight to see.

9. Buddha was black. Yeah, that Buddha. Had cornrows and everything. Check for yourself. And just because someone is accredited by fucking Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, doesn't mean he/she is not a scholar. Maybe what their research proves is that these institutions have largely based their assumed superiority on a web of lies meant to support white supremacy.

10. Haile Selassie I is a direct descendant of King Solomon and David. He ruled Ethiopia, the only African nation to not be conquered by Europe. Ever. More on that later...

Selling The Dream! Are promoters of Hip Hop showcases taking advantage of MC's?

I came across this ad on Craigslist and was really bothered by it. So much so, I decided to blog about it.

"If you are a real rapper a real singer a real comedian and real poet.come to the sultana lounge located in williamsburg brooklyn on 160 n.4 street bedford ave.event hosted by chocolate thai.music by dj keith.to perform is $30.to come and enjoy the show $15.for more info call"

I understand the get money mentality and all that. I understand brothers are out here grinding and hustling and what not. Some things just aren't what's up though. I kind of feel like the guy from "Shame on you" in writing this but the truth of the matter is that these showcase promoters have gotten out of control. I can understand an Open mic, you pay your little $5 or $10, get on stage and do your little 1,2 thing. It's gotten kind of crazy with the showcases though, I mean I've seen promoters charging dudes up to $500 dollars to perform at a showcase. Sometimes they'll pay some old washed up rapper like Tracy Lee of "It's party time" fame to host the show. Like he can do something for your career they'll try to charge you because he's there.They say things like, A&Rs will be there with ink in their pens and, "if you're serious about your career" to G you out of your hard earned money. Sometimes they'll give you tickets you can sell and make your money back from, sometimes not even that is done. In the event that the artists are given tickets, most of the time the tickets go to friends and family that have already seen them perform a million times. They end up paying $500 to perform in front of their friends and family and a club full of other rappers with their friends and family. The promoters like to call that exposure. I beg to differ, a lot of times the people that come with the artist aren't fans of music like that. They're there to support a friend or family member. A artist can perform live on 42nd street and come off better than rocking at these showcases. Most of these promoters don't promote to music fans because they feel it's a waste of time. They believe everyone is trying to be an artist so their aim is to capitalize off of that, which is but isn't cool. If I put up an ad that read, "Come rap for a room full of rappers" how many niggahs would reply to that? Beyond that, the showcases are garbage. The promoters will book any act that has the money to pay to perform. That usually leads to a line up of garbage acts who have money but no talent. In the event that a Hip Hop fan pops up at one of these shows, they're usually thoroughly disappointed, then when they're invited to the next show they think it's going to be trash and don't show up. I can agree with a lot of promoters on the note that a lot of artists are lazy and don't promote. These artists will just show up, perform, and go home. At the same time they're promoters, their job is to promote. The artists job is to perform and give a good show. Since the promoters are the ones seeing 100% of the profits, what's the incentive for the artist to promote?

A note to artists out there, DON'T DO IT!, don't support these promoters. Spend your money where it matters and that's not on these showcases, trust me, you'll thank me in the long run.

Old School Video of The Week--"The Points"--Panther Soundtrack

What ever happened to the best rappers actually getting on a track together? I came up on shit like "Symphony", "Down the Line", "Scenario". In honor of BIG, I had to rock another joint with him on it.

One of my favorite groups, The Dugout, did a Biggie tribute last year, and they have reposted it for y'all.

Free Download--StarPower's "The Petting Zoo"

This mixtape sounds much more like an album to me. Simply fantastic lyricism over some really ill beats. StarPower of The Dugout is by far one of The Barber's favorite emcees, and I'm always geeked to get new material from him. I reposted his blog with the link to the FREE album.

************** **************** ************ ******************************

The Petting Zoo--written by StarPower, produced by Bullion

copy and paste this link, then follow the simple instructions:

Though I know it's worth at least $10, its creation was an act of salvation for me. I dealt with some issues I didn't know I needed to deal with through these songs, which were all created in one day. The reason I was able to do that, was I didn't worry about any of the typical album or song pre-conceptions; I didn't dwell on song structure, content, revision, or anything like that, b/c I never intended to make a whole c.d. It was all unplanned in that way. I just sat down and wrote until I was exhausted, or I grabbed an old rhyme and worked it in, and then made the decision to record all of it 'as is,' also in one day. As it turned out, as a whole, it sounded pretty cohesive.

No doubt, that was helped by the fact that all of the beats were provided by a producer I've never met, a continent away, who didn't make the beats for me, or even for anyone to rap over at all. And the fact that he made them all from sampling Beach Boys songs, gave them a certain kind of emotion that probably subconsciously dictated what I was writing. In all, there are 12 songs, none longer than 2 min 30 seconds, because that's how the producer made the tracks (told you it wasn't your traditional music). You mayhave heard some of it on MySpace, Facebook, or at a show but most of it has been stashed away. I have a bunch more brutally honest, wickedly candid, songs and stories for you to listen, dance, think, and nod to. Songs about the aftermath of cheating, erectile dysfunction, the significance of your wardrobe, fleeing the government on a giant chronic leaf, media influence and more. These are words you need in your life that you won't get from anyone else. And I'm giving 'em to you for free. All I ask is that you spread the word if you feel it, and hopefully you might wanna even buy my debut album, "Problem Of The Day" (available at Itunes, Cdbaby.com, and my coat pocket).

Pimp C may have died from an overdose

News sources have revealed that Chad Butler, better known as Pimp C of UGK, may have died from a combination of sleep apnea and an overdose of cough syrup. Much respect to Bun B for appearing on Fox News and speaking so intelligently and candidly on his fallen brother.



I can't help but think that rappers(and urban culture in general) are really going off the deep end with this drug shit. Sure we are powerful beyond measure, but we are not invincible.

And you thought all Jamaicans smoked....

This Jamaican lady at a London train station apparently had enough of second hand smoke. If you don't understand patois, I feel sorry for you, because this shit is fucking hilarious.

P.S. I like how every ignorant black person's insult for an Arab/Indian/Middle Easterner is to call them Bin Laden.

Prodigy--doing the knowledge

I'm a big Prodigy fan y'all. Ever since track 2 on "The Infamous" when he told tales of punching niggas in their faces for living. Virtually all Mobb Deep albums are classics, whether P chose to rhyme his words or not. I'm saddened by the reality that he has to go up north for 3 years, but thankfully he has left us a jewel. Peep this verse he drops on Rap City. You must listen until the end to get all the jewels.



This video is really only for those die-hard Prodigy fans. Not quite as insane as "Mac Ten Handle", but then again, how does one judge insanity once a certain point is crossed?

This one here is for my bredren Sensi. Irie heights. For those not hip to the patois, this version has the subtitles. Learn something. Dirty Harry R.I.P.

Will the Patriots Go Down at the hands of the Giants? Let's ask Mercury Morris

First off, congrats to the Giants for giving a pre-gentry New Yorker like myself a chance to exhale. Hats off to all those dudes.

My mom(yeah I watched the game with moms, say something.) couldn't get over how a mother could name their child "Plaxico". I couldn't get a sufficient explanation to soothe her irritation.

On to the news. This clip is from a couple weeks ago, but Mercury Morris is really the champ, regardless of who wins in Arizona.

Greatest shit talker of 2007(with 50 still pulling a strong 2nd), and so far Morris is running '08. Play this one for your kids next time you feel like taping them to a chair.

Does Rap Cause Seizures?

This is some crazy shit right here folks. A Queens, NY woman, Stacy Gayle, apparently catches epileptic seizure from listening to rap and reggae music, especially Sean Paul.



I always thought he was nothing but a fake-ass SuperCat wannabe anyway, but damn.

Could it be that black people are starting to lose the soul in their soul music? Or is this just a mere coincidence? Bobby Hemmitt lectures on the medicinal properties of music, how certain frequencies can stimulate the pineal gland in the center of the brain.

If Soldja Boy makes another song, I may develop epilepsy my damn self...
