Ignorance is not bliss. It is the certain foundation for disaster. Notwithstanding the corporate media manipulated, euphorically misguided, color-conscious support of Barack Obama on the part of so many Black people and other people of color; those who are the most insidious at cleverly and effectively perpetuating ongoing economic disenfranchisement, corporate plutocracy, U.S. wars, extreme…

For those who swallowed the blue pill of the corporate-brand Obama illusion, deception, and pathetic emaciation: Can you hear me now?! Is it oily enough for you yet? Are you happy in the fires of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan? Are you enjoying this veneer of illusion and deception while the reality of corporate domination, wars,…

One only need be stabbed once to get the point (no pun intended). Yet, Barack Obama, the Democratic Party foxes, the Republican Party wolves, and their corporate / military masters are constantly stabbing the people of this nation and world with lies, lies, and more lies. When it became apparent to the U.S. corporate plutocracy…

Governments cause revolutions, but it is the people who wage them. The United States of America, has, since its inception, engaged in a never ending “race war.” The genocide of the indigenous peoples, the wholesale thievery of Mexican territory, and the slavery, enslavement, lynchings, and ongoing 21st century de facto Jim Crow against Black people…

Democratic and Republican…

Whether or not polls are correct with respect to the rising anger and organizing on the part of far right wing organizations, certain things are obvious even now. The United States, remains locked in bloody wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, the jobless rate, home foreclosures, and homelessness continue to climb in real terms, and…

As many hundreds of thousands of gallons of deadly oil continues to spread throughout the Gulf of Mexico, lapping at the Louisiana coast, en route to the Atlantic Ocean, the folly and arrogance of Barack Obama’s March, 2010, proposal to expand offshore drilling is hideously highlighted. Once again it is the everyday people of this…

When reality is replaced by illusion it is always at the expense and pain of everyday people. Corporate media sound bites of illusion, omission, and disinformation have replaced any semblance of the dissemination of truth or the systemic reasons for the intensifying pain and suffering of everyday Black, Brown, Red, White, and Yellow peoples in…

The proverbial fox and wolf will never admit that they ate the chickens, but they will stealthily seek to distract and then devour us as a part of their next meal. In a society that is rife with deliberate distractions and pitfalls, we must endeavor to set our political objectives in the people’s struggle and…
