Never Get Another DUI

Beating the Cops at Their Own Game

If you’ve been following along, in this blog, you know that I have a sweet spot in my heart of hearts for pi … uh co …. uh ociffers of the law.  I have time and time again told you how, through diligence, hard work and sheer intelligence, the popo have thwarted major top brass criminals and brought them to justice through expert police work.  I have tirelessly pointed out how they are NOT corporate shills, enforcing made up laws, for the sole purpose of throwing countless Americans in jail, simply to generate money for private corporate jails across the land.

Case in point, DUI.  Everyone knows that we definitely needed an entire separate legal system and laws for people who drive their cars and hit people… wait, I mean people who drive their cars and hurt people … wait, I mean people who drive their cars and are erratic  … and uh, were drinking?  Hmmm!  We needed separate laws for people who drive their cars and could possibly hurt people?  Wait, we needed separate laws for people who had their back tail light about to go out, and were stopped by police, and smelled of alcohol and the police psychically knew they were going to hurt someone, just cuz?  No no no, I got it!  We needed separate laws for people who the police psychically knew could possibly, potentially hurt someone, since they smelled … kinda … of alcohol “wink wink” and thus we needed to throw out the constitution and demand MANDATORY SENTENCES for them.  THERE WE GO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

So, obviously I’m being sarcastic.  There is, was, never had been a need for additional laws for people driving who hurt people, regardless of their alledged smelling of alcohol, other than the police being the lap dogs of private corporate prisons who definitely need more money.  DUI is a scam, plain and simple.

So, what can I do for you?  Buy your own breathalyzer.  You want to beat police at their own game?  Breathalyze yourself before they do, so you know exactly what your B.A.C. (blood alcohol content) is.  When everyone was getting stupid speeding tickets, that they knew were bogus, they bought radar detectors.  Now, people who know that DUI is the number one way police departments and local governments generate tons of cash from their citizens are buying their own breathalyzer.

Product Reviews by Actual Customers

K. Walker

I purchased the BacTrack S80 in August from amazon and I am extremely pleased with the product. First and probably most important, it seems to give very accurate results. Three years ago I received one of those cheap keychain units as a gift and it read all over the map and never worked well. Here, with this product, if I test myself 3 times in a row I get the same test result 3 times, so you know it’s consistent. And if I test a sober person and then a very drunk person, there is no crossover or contamination, which is something I worried about (and really researched) before this purchase. So $199 is not cheap, but you get what you pay for here in terms of accuracy.

Besides being happy with the accuracy, I really like the small size. I have an LG Envy phone and the Bactrack S80 is almost the same size. I didn’t consider size prior to my purchase, but because it’s portable, I’m much more likely to take the BacTrack out when I drink, which is really the whole point of having it.

I appreciate the advanced features and being able to adjust the flow settings, but mainly I just turn it on and test. As of today, I’m already on test # 144. Yeah, it’s been passed around and used by a lot of people already. 5 stars for its accuracy and reliability alone.

Brian North

After girlfriend got a DUI, I bought her one of these. She was skeptical, but after testing it many nights in a row (drinking in the name of research of course), we were pleasantly surprised to find it very accurate. It’s expensive but its absolutely worth it for the quality. I can’t believe that the police are the only ones who have access to these. By the time you’re using it with a cop, its usually too late. FYI – the instructions say that you want to wait 15 to 20 minutes after you’ve had a drink, otherwise it’ll pick up the alcohol still in your mouth and read too high.

The one I ordered came promptly with nice packaging. I’m here … ordering another one for myself.

John Wiley

I normally don’t write reviews but felt like I had to with the S80. This is a really great unit. I can’t beleive how small and how accuarate the readings are. My friend is a police office and we tested the S80 against one of his units and they were dead on with the readings. I had bought some cheaper units in the past that didn’t seem to work too well but the S80 is the real deal. Definitely worth paying a few bucks more to get the real deal.

Conclusion

As you can see from all the reviews, these people never got another DUI after buying their own breathalyzer.  It’s easy to carry and you should never leave home without it.  You never know when someone will call you to ask you to stop by and have a drink.  The legal limit in all 50 states is now 0.08% B.A.C.  There’s no reason to ever get another DUI, when you can purchase this device.  Having  DUI on your record is a kick in the balls, and it destroys so many people’s lives.  It’s a shame that so many college students, freshly turned 21, promptly get a DUI and ruin their lives immediately.  Heck, buy one for your kid if he’s in college yourself. 

Stop burying your head in the sand and wake up to what’s going on out there.  The police are out there to get as much money from you as they can.  Do not give them a chance to get you on DUI.

Movie Review: The American "A Must Not Watch"

The American

This is a Gun and Two People in the Movie

So everyone hates Hollywood as much as I do right?  RIGHT?  I thought so.  And, apparently, so does  Director Anton Corbijn, but he’s Dutch so…  Well, anyway, so he directed writer Rowan Joffe’s The American.  He really really REALLY tried to make it minimalist, existensialist and super cool, right?  Yeah, so if I’m reviewing it, you know he failed.  I only review what I think are failed movies.  I’m kidding.  I’m sure I’ve given good reviews of something, somewhere.  I can’t remember.  But this is not one of those, “oh my gosh, what a great movie” reviews.

So, Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of the American. He plays the role of Jack, a lone assassin. After a gruesom job in Sweden ends, he hidey holes in the a small medieval Italian countryside. Against his better judgement and wishes, he takes on an assignment to construct a weapon for a sexy yet cold contact, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten). To add another layer of suspense to the already “suspenseful” plot ,in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack becomes the object of friendship of a local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli). To add even more layers to the already convoluted onion wrap, he gets embroiled in a torrid liaison with a “lady”, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara’s escapades turn into a somewhat nebulous romance, however it does offer an out from his current “profession”.

Director: Anton Corbijn
Writer: Rowan Joffe
George Clooney – Jack
Paolo Bonacelli – Father Benedetto
Thekla Reuten – Mathilde
Violante Placido – Clara
Irina Bjorklund – Ingrid
Johan Leysen – Pavel

So where does it fail?  The entire movie you have NO idea what is going on, who’s on the screen, and why do you care.  It’s as if they cast George Clooney so the audience would just feel like, “oh this must be a great, I don’t understand a damn thing, but it must be great”.  Basic storytelling dictates that you at least tell your listener / viewer who you’re talking about.  This movie never tells you who the characters are.

Father Benedetto who’s Crucial to the Plot Somehow

While the settings are beautiful and the acting superb, there’s just no movie here.  Who can watch a movie where they have no idea what the story is.  You don’ t know who any single character is in the whole thing, nor what their motivation is.  Trust me, I don’t like being spoon fed a story, but at least I’d like to know why the main character is going to be murdered.

Why so many inconsequential subplots?  The entire cast is all of just 5 people.  Outside of the main character, in the end, after remembering the movie, you suddenly realize that half the subplots were meaningless to the story and had absolutely no closure.

This is a: Must Not Watch.

This Marriage Thing

What is Marriage?

For the most part, people have no idea what marriage is.  When you then start to talk about gay marriage, or bestiality or man boy love, then you don’t have a foundation to stand on, to even begin to argue your points.  Let’s do away with all this nonsense of not understand, define what marriage is and where it came from, so that when someone comes to you saying they “really love their dog”, you can refute them with a sound argument and them which way, how, and when they can go to hell, in the most polite way possible.  For the children!  Because, I always do things for the children [joke].  Before we can define what we “think” marriage is today, let’s look at where marriage came from.  Nothing on this planet, just happens right here and now.  You must know where it came from to even begin to be an adult and have some wisdom.  How can you begin to understand why the Koreans hate the Japanese if you have no clue about their wars that they fought?  You’d be operating out of a place of ignorance and not one of wisdom.  So let’s take a look at where marriage came from.

History of Marriage

First of all, let’s go back to ancient times.  Contrary to popular European belief, there was no rampant promiscuity going on in early man.  All empirical evidence points to early man actually taking in wives and living a monogamous life.

All authorities agree that during historical  times promiscuity has been either non-existent or confined to a few small groups. Did it prevail to any extent during the prehistoric period of the race? Writing between 1860 and 1890, a considerable number of anthropologists, such as Bachofen, Morgan, McLennan, Lubbock, and Giraud-Teulon, maintained that this was the original relationship  between the sexes among practically all peoples. So rapidly did the theory win favour that in 1891 it was, according to Westermarck, “treated by many writers as a demonstrated truth” (History of Human Marriage, p. 51). It appealed strongly to those believers in organic evolution who assumed that the social customs of primitive man, including sex relations, must have differed but slightly from the corresponding usages among the brutes. It has been eagerly adopted by the Marxian Socialists, on account of its agreement with their theories of primitive common property and of economic determinism. According to the latter hypothesis, all other social institutions are, and have ever been, determined by the underlying economic institutions; hence in the original condition of common property, wives and husbands must likewise have been held in common (see Engles, “The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State”, tr. from German, Chicago, 1902). Indeed, the vogue which the theory of promiscuity for a time enjoyed seems to have been due far more to a priori considerations of the kind just mentioned, and to the wish to believe in it, than to positive evidence.

Ancient marriage and even more recent historical marriage wasn’t the romanticized thing that we want to think it means today.   The fact is, marriage was for one thing and one thing only: to produce children.  This production of children in early man was a very desperate need.  We don’t think of this as a need these days with 6.7 billion people on the planet.  Now we see children as a nuisance and a drain on the money.  Before children were seen as a little more than slave labor force. 

After careful consideration, due to children being the product of marriage, quite a few smart fellows saw a great opportunity to get marriage to do for them what a sword couldn’t, i.e. make peace.

When we look at the marriage customs of our ancestors, we discover several striking facts. For example, for the most of Western history, marriage was not a mere personal matter concerning only husband and wife, but rather the business of their two families which brought them together. Most marriages, therefore, were arranged. Moreover, the wife usually had much fewer rights than her husband and was expected to be subservient to him. To a considerable extent, marriage was also an economic arrangement. There was little room for romantic love, and even simple affection was not considered essential. Procreation and cooperation were the main marital duties.

So marriage could quell wars, and build an economic bond between two people, with a free labor force, depending on the fertility of the woman.  Let’s focus on this for a second.  Imagine this, just you getting a roommate, who shares all of your expenses equally, cuts down on your own personal expenditure of expenses.  Now jump to the idea of being married.  You’ve not only cut down your expenses, but all of your needs are taken care of [yes ladies AND guys, I said all] and your wealth grows.  Now add in kids, who work for you for free, basically.  Your production goes up, assuming you have a business that needs laborers, and your wealth, again, grows.  As your children grow and marry, you create a tiny empire unto yourself.  Then, you go into an agreement with another man, such as yourself, and agree to pool your empire with his empire through the marriage of your child to his.

Rights in Marriage

Everyone talks about rights and rights in marriage.  The truth is heterosexual couples have been and still are fighting for rights and freedoms away from the federal govern.  What about ancient historical marital rights?  Let’s look at Rome and Greece:

In ancient Greece marriage was seen as a fundamental social institution. Indeed, the great lawgiver Solon once contemplated making marriage compulsory, and in Athens under Pericles bachelors were excluded from certain important public positions. Sparta, while encouraging sexual relationships between men, nevertheless insisted on their marrying and producing children. Single and childless men were treated with scorn.

 However, while marriage was deemed important, it was usually treated as a practical matter without much romantic significance. A father arranged the most advantageous marriage for his son and then had a contract signed before witnesses. Shortly thereafter a wedding celebration was held and the young couple (who might never have met before) was escorted to bed. All marriages were monogamous. As a rule, the bridegroom was in his thirties and the bride was a teenager. In addition to this disparity in ages there also existed an inequality in education and political rights. Women were considered inferior to men and remained confined to the home. Their main function as wives was to produce children and to manage the household while their husbands tended to public affairs. For their erotic needs, men often turned to prostitutes and concubines.

Marital rights started and ended on the question of legal inheritance.  Again, it’s about the kids, the offspring.  The marriage itself is never concerned with if the man loves the woman and how well they get along.  The marriage is concerned about did she produce children and does she sleep around… in case she produces illegitimate children.

The Heart of Marriage

All of this article is going to fall on its face with this next sentence.  Everything said thus far about marriage, only concerned men who had money.  If you did not have money, or rights [as in you weren’t a citizen] it didn’t matter what you did.  For the most part, in western civilization, marriage and marriage rights revolves around property owners.  If you don’t own property, who cares who you marry and who’s going to inherit your non-property.

This entire pop culture reference to marriage then, is a farce and a scam.  If you don’t “establish” yourself, i.e. get married, build a house and own land, then you’re pretending to have a life.  This comes full circle to the economic situation we are in now.  This stupid practice of credit and building credit is nothing more than a ploy to get you to give away all of your rights, property and money.  Bear with me here.  People were being expected to move and buy a new house every 2 years, to make a profit on the old house.  However, if you were to go back to the way a wealthy person lives, you’d establish a family base, buy land, build a house, get married, have children and pass all of that on to your children.  Your children then have nearly nothing in their life to worry about except building the family wealth even more and passing it on to their children.

With sound economic sense and the wisdom to realize how marriage is really intended to be used, even a poor man can achieve wealth and be safe and secure in his home.  At the heart of this all is marriage.

Virginia Thomas Asks Anita Hill to Apologize

Justice Clarence Thomas’ Wife Leaves a Message

The wife of Justice Clarence Thomas [who is Black] (born June 23, 1948), Virginia “Ginni” Thomas [who is white], left a voice mail to Anita Hill’s office [who is Black].  Ginni Thomas is a conservative activist who founded the organization Liberty Central.  Ginni is also described by friends and husband, Justice Clarence Thomas, as being deeply religious.  

Hill has maintained that she told the truth. Justice Thomas, meanwhile, has steadfastly denied her accusations.

Now, Virginia Thomas, the justice’s wife, has rekindled the controversy by leaving a voice mail message at Hill’s Brandeis University office seeking an apology.

“Good morning Anita Hill, it’s Ginni Thomas,” said the message left earlier this month, according to a transcript provided by ABC News. “I just want to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometimes and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband.”

Hill, a Brandeis professor, told reporters that she held onto the message for nearly a week as she weighed whether it was legitimate. Eventually, she turned it over to campus police with a request that it be sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI’s Boston field office declined comment.

“I certainly thought the call was inappropriate,” Hill, who worked for Clarence Thomas at the Department of Education and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions, said in a statement released to the Associated Press.

In her Senate testimony, Hill said that Thomas would make sexual comments to her at work, including references to scenes in hard core pornographic films.

“I have no intention of apologizing because I testified truthfully about my experience and I stand by that testimony,” she added.

During the controversy Justice Thomas, then nominee Thomas, had this to say:

“This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It’s a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.”

On a side note, a politician wanting to hone in on the spotlight in this campaign season weighed in.  Lillian McEwen, a former Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer who said she dated Clarence Thomas from 1979 through the mid-1980s, Thomas then being 31 years old, said she was not surprised that Virginia Thomas would leave Hill a message, even after all these years.

“In his autobiography, Clarence described himself as a person incapable of doing what Anita Hill said he did,” McEwen said in an interview. “He is married to a woman who is loyal to him and religious in a way he would like to be. This combination of religiosity and loyalty and belief that he is really the kind of person who he describes in his book would just about compel her to do something like that.”

“The Clarence I know was certainly capable not only of doing the things that Anita Hill said he did, but it would be totally consistent with the way he lived his personal life then,” McEwen said.

In a statement released this week to the Associated Press, Mrs. Thomas said she did not intend to offend Hill with the voice mail. “I did place a call to Ms. Hill at her office extending an olive branch to her after all these years, in hopes that we could ultimately get passed (sic) what happened so long ago,” Thomas said in the statement. “That offer still stands, I would be very happy to meet and talk with her if she would be willing to do the same.”

Hill had worked for Thomas at the Education Department and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. However Hill is not credible, because of a few things:

• she first made her allegations after Thomas had been nominated to the high court, 10 years after she began working for him and only after she was contacted by congressional investigators
• Other former colleagues testified on Thomas’s behalf. Nancy Altman, who shared an office with Thomas at the Department of Education, testified that she heard virtually everything Thomas said over the course of two years, and never heard any sexist or offensive comment. Altman did not find it credible that Thomas could have engaged in the conduct alleged by Hill, without any of the dozens of women he worked with noticing it. 
• Senator Alan K. Simpson was puzzled about why Hill and Thomas met, dined, and spoke by phone on various occasions after they no longer worked together. 

According to the Oyez Project, there was a lack of convincing proof produced at the Senate hearings.  After extensive debate, the Judiciary Committee split 7–7 on September 27, sending the nomination to the full Senate without a recommendation. Thomas was confirmed by a 52–48 vote on October 15, 1991, aged 43 years old, the narrowest margin for approval in more than a century.  The final floor vote was mostly along party lines: 41 Republicans and 11 Democrats voted to confirm while 46 Democrats and two Republicans voted to reject the nomination. Newspaper coverage of Thomas’s private life was limited after he was confirmed.

Conclusion

It is my personal opinion that Anita Hill was lying.  After reviewing much of the then testimony, given by several women it amounts to, those with grevances were called upon, i.e. those who had been fired and disgruntled, and those who were coaxed by politicians testified, namely ONLY Anita Hill.  That fact alone should raise red flags for everyone in the nation.

Now as a Black man, Justice Thomas works against everything that Black people, like myself, work for, i.e. equality in all things and a level economic playing field for us to do business in, devoid of government interference.  As a Christian, Justice Thomas works against what is righteous.

There can be many allegations against the man’s personal shortcomings, but sexual harassment is not one of them, in my opinion.  I do not feel he should have been nominated to the supreme court.  He has been a monumental failure for causes I believe in and serves as nothing more than a place holder.

The Jobless Rate September 2010

The Jobless Report September 2010

Below you’ll find the direct information about the jobless rate for September 2010.  This information is taken directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  I hold that this information is nearly misinformation due to the fact that the Department of Labor refuses to count U-6.  The U-6, which is what the government uses to gauge people that have stopped looking for work, climbed to 17.1% from 16.7%. What the U-6 doesn’t measure are the people that actually are looking for work, but just can’t find anything. If somebody needs to make a living, they don’t give up. The government doesn’t take that into consideration though. If they are deemed to have stopped looking for work, they are no longer counted.

The jobless rate increased yet, reported government unemployment rates remained at 9.6%.  More and more jobs were lost, yet the unemployment rate remained unaffected.  As an investor, you should be looking for the correct information, instead of the reported information.

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION — SEPTEMBER 2010

Nonfarm payroll employment edged down (-95,000) in September, and the unem-
ployment rate was unchanged at 9.6 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics reported today. Government employment declined (-159,000), reflec-
ting both a drop in the number of temporary jobs for Census 2010 and job
losses in local government. Private-sector payroll employment continued
to trend up modestly (+64,000).

Household Survey Data

The number of unemployed persons, at 14.8 million, was essentially un-
changed in September, and the unemployment rate held at 9.6 percent. (See
table A-1.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for adult men (9.8
percent), adult women (8.0 percent), teenagers (26.0 percent), whites
(8.7 percent), blacks (16.1 percent), and Hispanics (12.4 percent) showed
little or no change in September. The jobless rate for Asians was 6.4
percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over),
at 6.1 million, was little changed over the month but was down by 640,000
since a series high of 6.8 million in May. In September, 41.7 percent
of unemployed persons had been jobless for 27 weeks or more. (See table
A-12.)

In September, both the civilian labor force participation rate, at 64.7
percent, and the employment-population ratio, at 58.5 percent, were un-
changed. (See table A-1.)

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes
referred to as involuntary part-time workers) rose by 612,000 over the
month to 9.5 million. Over the past 2 months, the number of such workers
has increased by 943,000. These individuals were working part time be-
cause their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find
a full-time job. (See table A-8.)

About 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force
in September, up from 2.2 million a year earlier. (The data are not sea-
sonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted
and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the
prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had
not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table
A-16.)

Among the marginally attached, there were 1.2 million discouraged work-
ers in September, an increase of 503,000 from a year earlier. (The data
are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not cur-
rently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for
them. The remaining 1.3 million persons marginally attached to the labor
force had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey
for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities. (See
table A-16.)

Establishment Survey Data

Total nonfarm payroll employment edged down by 95,000 in September.
Government employment fell by 159,000, reflecting both the departure
of 77,000 temporary Census 2010 workers from federal government pay-
rolls and a decline of 76,000 in local government employment. Private-
sector payroll employment continued to trend up (+64,000) over the
month. (See table B-1.)

Health care employment rose by 24,000 in September. The increase was
concentrated in ambulatory health care services (+17,000). Health care
employment has risen by an average of 21,000 per month this year.

Within professional and business services, employment services added
28,000 jobs in September. Temporary help services accounted for most
of the gain.

Within leisure and hospitality, employment in food services and drink-
ing places increased by 34,000 over the month and has risen by 104,000
thus far in 2010.

Mining employment continued to trend up (+6,000) over the month. Mining
has added 77,000 jobs since a recent low in October 2009.

Employment in manufacturing changed little in September and, on net, has
been essentially flat since May. The industry added 134,000 jobs during
the first 5 months of the year.

Employment in wholesale trade, retail trade, transportation and ware-
housing, information, and financial activities showed little change in
September.

Employment in construction edged down (-21,000) over the month, partly
offsetting an employment gain in August. Both the August and September
changes were concentrated among nonresidential specialty trade contrac-
tors. Construction employment has shown little net change since February.

Government employment fell by 159,000 in September. A decline in federal
government employment was due to the loss of 77,000 temporary Census 2010
jobs. As of September, about 6,000 temporary decennial census workers re-
mained on the federal government payroll, down from a peak of 564,000 in
May. Employment in local government decreased by 76,000 in September with
job losses in both education and noneducation.

In September, the average workweek for all employees was unchanged at 34.2
hours. The manufacturing workweek for all employees decreased by 0.1 hour
to 40.1 hours, and factory overtime was unchanged at 3.0 hours. The aver-
age workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private non-
farm payrolls was unchanged at 33.5 hours. (See tables B-2 and B-7.)

Average hourly earnings of all employees on private nonfarm payrolls in-
creased by 1 cent to $22.67 in September. Over the past 12 months, aver-
age hourly earnings have increased by 1.7 percent. In September, average
hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employ-
ees increased by 1 cent to $19.10.  (See tables B-3 and B-8.)

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised from
-54,000 to -66,000, and the change for August was revised from -54,000 to
-57,000.

For Blacks: But I’m Mixed not Black

Are You Ashamed of Being Black?

So many online websites now offer you the chance to make your own profile.  They give you the chance to personalize your profile and tell your story.  When it comes to the question of race though, many Black people balk at answering, even regardless of the fact that they have provided a picture.  I don’t mean to pick on these people, but I am just observing a small fact.  I belong to probably more social websites than anyone on the face of the planet.  So, when I say I have experience, I truly do mean it.  I have observed this: For the most part Black people will insert “mixed” into their race status, instead of African American.

What is Black?

Due to the history of the country’s bout with slavery most Black people feel ashamed of their ancestry, even if they don’t even know their ancestry.  They assume they have slavery in their ancestry and therefore somehow they feel dehumanized and ashamed of being Black.  But, what is Black?  Pure Africans were originally shipped over from Africa as slaves during colonial America.  However, the purity of African genes, for the most part was diluted long ago.  Due to rampant rape by white people, most African slaves were “mixed”.  There were no more pure Africans after a century of systematic rape.  Today’s Black American is no more pure than Neapolitan ice cream.  It is nearly redundant then to say that a “Black” person, in America, is mixed.

Yet many Blacks feel they have to go out of their way to assure everyone that they are not “Black” but instead are “mixed”.  I wonder how their “Black” mother or father feels about them being ashamed of being associated with being “Black”.  It must be such a smack in the face, that they can’t even begin to recover from.

Finally, the truth of the matter is, white people, whom these “mixed” Black people are trying to impress, see all Black people as “Black”.  When they stand around the water cooler at work, they assuredly say “this Black guy was …”.  I have yet to hear a white person EVER describe a Black person as mixed.  Trust me, I have known close to half a million white people in my life, from all walks of life, all spectrums of philosophy, and all political outlooks.  None have ever described a Black person as anything other than “Black”.  They are so very direct about Black vs white that they have called people that look completely Mexican, Puerto Rican etc … you know swarthy light skinned people with curly hair, as Black.  A white friend of mine thought a very pale Black guy we saw, looked exactly like a very dark Black guy we had met earlier that evening.  He was convinced they looked the same.  This is a white guy that would give me the shirt off his back, so we’re not talking some random racist white guy.

Are All Black Americans Descendants of Slaves?

I would highly encourage every Americanized African to research their own heredity and ancestry.  No, all Black people in America are not descended from slaves.  While there were slaves in America, it didn’t take off like gang busters until after Shay’s Rebellion, where white farmers, indentured servants, rose up against tyrannical taxes and foreclosure on their farms.  After this rebellion, Black, obvious, slaves were taken to ensure that the white rebellion would never happen again.  The rebellion was not over until nearly 1790.  The 13th Amendment which abolished slavery as we know it, was adopted and implemented nearly in 1866.  So slavery in America was basically only in operation for 70 years.  This fact alone staggers most Americans, because they think that slavery lasted for hundreds of years.

There was a sizable free population of Blacks in America before slavery took hold and while slavery was going on.  In fact, it was these free Blacks that helped shaped early American view points on the ugliness of slavery.  Some of the greatest American leaders back then were Black.  In American history next to Abraham Lincoln in terms of fame, Frederick Douglass is as famous and was of course Black, being an escaped slave.  He was a statesman, orator and author of many books.

Why the Shame to Be Black?

While kids today are mixing more with different races more than ever, they feel all the more ostracized on the issue of race.  They may play with whites and asians, but when it comes to self identity, they are afraid to admit they are Black.  Instead they wish to be “mixed”.  While the white American has no problem admitting he’s white, and the asian American has no problem admitting he’s asian, the Black American seeks to be identified as mixed instead, although his white and asian buddy will see and describe him as “Black”.

I personally know a Black guy who not only doesn’t claim he’s Black, but then turns around and talks about “Black folk”.  Everyone of course laughs at him behind his back, but goes along with his racial tirades in front of his face.  He’ll die alone.  It’s a case of the Tragic Mulatto all over again.  I hope he doesn’t commit suicide though.  I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Conclusion

Be proud that you are Black.  Be just as happy for your asian and white friends.  They don’t have a problem being white or asian.  And, as I have shown you, all Black people are pretty much mixed in America.  In fact, other than an African fresh off the boat, it is a rarity to find an Americanized African that is pure blood, going back 6 generations.  I would say it is impossible.  Stranger things have happened, but  I don’t think there’s a whole bunch of pure blood “Black” people in America.

Claiming to be mixed serves absolutely no purpose.  And, if you’re ashamed of being Black, deal with that issue first, because obviously your race is affecting you more than you’re admitting.

The New World of Warcraft Patch Before Cataclysm 4.0.1

The Patch Before Cat

New Player Race in Cataclysm Worgen

Unless you’ve been under a rock, yet playing world of warcraft, you should know that the big news is that the new expansion Cataclysm is coming up.  This is going to change the entire game for everyone.  The world … of warcraft, as we know it, is going to be completely redone and changed.  An apocalypse is going to happen the likes of which is going to edit the entire map of Azeroth.  Volcanic eruptions and oceanic erosion is going to both destroy and age the entire world …. of warcraft, to such a degree that whole cities are going to be destroyed and famous dungeons are going to be wiped and / or completely changed.

But before this occurs, welcome to patch 4.0, the patch before the expansion.  In this patch the completely new system is being introduced for how the classes are going to operate.  Understand that this is an operational feat, and not, a free patch for all of the new content to come.  This means, all the classes are going to change, but not the actual world.  I assume for those who *gasp* might not buy cataclysm, or not buy it right away, *gasp* would be on the same system as those who stand in line at midnight to buy it. [insert eye roll here]

For those wondering why it skipped from patch 3.3.3 to 4.0.1, I don’t know, I guess 4.0 doesn’t sound as cool, or maybe they have to have a 3 digit patch number at all times.

World of Warcraft PTR Patch 4.0.1

Cigar Guy’s 15 Minutes of Fame are Over 10 Minutes Early

Cigar Guy Outed

The Original Pic of Tiger with Cigar Guy

If you’ve been under a rock, you might not know who “Cigar Guy” is.  The internet creates personalities over the most unsuspecting oddities at times.  Take a photo and single out a guy with a weird expression and overnight he’s a megastar on the internet.  The phenom come to be known as Cigar Guy is just such a happening.  What organically grew from a great photo, interestingly enough turned into a vast array of fake, doctored, photoshopped photos. What started out as probably the best photo in sports ever taken captured by The Mail on Sunday’s Mark Pain, it showed Tiger Woods fluffing a chip at the Ryder Cup – his ball heading straight towards the camera lens.  Congratulations to the photographer, but what he didn’t realize is that standing behind Woods was a wide-eyed spectator smoking a fat cigar and wearing a Groucho Marx moustache and ginger wig. Nicknamed ‘Cigar Guy’ he became an overnight internet phenomenon after the picture appeared in The Mail on Sunday and Mail Online last week.

Cigar Guy Close Up, Notice Wig, Fake Mustache

Now begins the fame and fortune of poor Cigar Guy.  People took the image of him and photoshopped him into everything imaginable, and then some not so imaginable.  He was even made into a Simpsons character, Aqua Teen Hunger Force character and a Boris character.  He literally was photoshopped into both the first Lincoln photograph ever taken and the Martin Luther King Jr. “I have a dream” speech.  There is nowhere that Cigar Guy couldn’t be seen.  Secret Service to President Bush, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and in place of Obama are all up for Cigar Guy to replace.  [ I wish he would replace them in real life, but that’s a WHOLE nother blog, isn’t it, am i right? ] 

However, this week, the meme phenomenon was done away with, when Cigar Guy was tracked down and interviewed.  He was outed by the very organization that originally captured him in a picture.  It was revealed his name is  Rupesh Shingadia, a 30-year-old investment analyst in the City.  He lives with his mom and dad in London.

While millions had fun with him and some even proposed marriage, once he was outed and his real story revealed, it killed the meme phenomenon of Cigar Guy.  His fame was short lived and his 15 minutes, cut short.

Rupesh Shingadia ‘Cigar Guy’ without Hair and Cigar

Well we had fun while it lasted.  And, for those not in the know of the internet and why I’m saying it was short lived, seeing as it went on for a whole week, you might not know that some meme’s go on for years and grow and grow.  For those who can remember and are true computer geeks, remember that “All your base are belong to us” lasted for years, and people would prank church signs, McDonald’s signs, motel signs to read “All your base are belong to us”.  They then photoshopped pics to make road signs to look like that and went so far as to doctor the Budweiser girls to have their logo read “All your base are belong to us”.  I grew until it just naturally died.  In fact it still goes on today to a small extent.  So a week of meme is nothing.  And, anyone that tells you that a meme doesn’t go on for years, just doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Oh and by the way, Rupesh Shingadia isn’t a bad looking guy when he’s not in fake wig, mustache and cigar hanging out his mouth.  So I guess the marriage proposals are warranted.  It’s too bad Cigar Guy was killed.

War on Drugs = War on Blacks

Jailing Black Men

Black Men in Jail

The nightly news comes on. It has 6 segments.  Two of the segments are dedicated to sports and weather.  The other four segments are dedicated to indoctrinating our society into thinking a certain way.  Chief among these propaganda strategies is the ongoing notion that Black people are criminal.  Across the board, without a shadow of a doubt, Black people are less criminal than any other racial group.  Study after study shows that Black men are less criminal and less violent than their white counterparts.   However, on the nightly news there is an 85% chance that one or even two segments will be dedicated to showing a story of a Black criminal, not a citizen who’s been arrested, but a complete criminal.  The news portrays the Black man as a savage beast that definitely needs to be jailed.

So complete is this brainwashing, that Americanized Africans, themselves, are starting to believe it.  I have heard church ladies say without blinking, “those negros ain’t no good, they should be locked up anyway.”  But, I ask you, locked up for what?

If Black men are less likely to be criminal, and less likely to be violent, then on what grounds are they being jailed?

The War on Black Men

with permission from BET

When the 70s hit, the country was still in turmoil over the Vietnam war and in the throws of pain over the civil rights marches.  A survey was done to ask who was the chief proponent of unrest in America.  Categorically, all white people said Americanized Africans were the cause of all the turmoil.  Americanized Africans were even blamed for the Vietnam protest march on Washington, which was nearly entirely white.

The president and prison businesses across the land concocted a plan to land the Americanized African soundly and squarely in jail.  Enter the “war on drugs”.   There were already anti-drug laws, but now the new policy was to vehemently go after drugs.  Mind you, this zealous policy to go after drugs, was only at the street level.  I have read report after report, that the importation of drugs is done none other than by the white house, congress and senate itself.  The amount of drugs imported into this country is a staggering number, that would be incapable of being done without, not only the consent of the U.S. government, but the full and supportive cooperation of the U.S. government.  But, all my sources can only say it is logical conjecture.  [probably in order not to get sued or harassed]

With the war on drugs being kicked off, new sentencing started coming down.  Mandatory sentencing for drug associated charges, were implemented.  Who ultimately benefits from this?  The population? No, for the most part, drugs at the street level are not an anti-social endeavor, as compared to robbery and murder.  In fact, one could say drugs are a very social thing.  The tendency is to do drugs WITH other people, not without.  And, contrary to what the mass media tells you, drugs and violence are a rare thing.  Most actual drug violence, happens at a much much higher level than at the street level.  Also, most drugs are consumed inside someone’s home and not on the street. [the chic drugs are consumed mainly in party situations i.e. clubs or parties, and overwhelmingly by white people, not people with color]

The majority of the attention shifted to incarcerating the Americanized African.  Where there were very few Blacks in jails at the time, the Black population in jails across America skyrockted.  Blacks went from institutional lows to record breaking highs.  Where blacks were fairly represented in jails across the U.S., they were now becoming 1/4th, 1/3rd, and even 51% of the entire prison population.  This is where it stands today.

Absolutely noone stands up and says what is being done is unconstitutional and criminal.  Everyone is making billions of dollars, who are involved at the higher levels.  The Americanized African is being thrown in jail over drugs.  They are also facing mandatory sentencing, unconstitutional, and staying in jail much much longer.

Mandatory Sentencing

Most Blacks are Jailed on Drug Related Charges

You have to understand, that a majority of these criminal charges involve extremely trivial matters.  A Black man is picked up, searched and a personal amount is found on his person [or planted in quite a few cases].  At court he is sentenced, by mandate, to years and years in jail.  When released, if he is ever found to have drugs on him again, that is far more many years.

Let’s give you a scenario that is equal to this.  A Black man is found to have stolen a candy bar from a warehouse parking lot.  He goes to court.  The judge gives him seven years as his sentence.  Upon release, he is hungry again and steals a loaf of bread but is picked up.  He goes to court.  The judge, then gives him 15 years in jail.

This is exactly what is being done across the U.S. on a daily basis, but instead of a candy bar stolen off a warehouse parking lot, in the middle of nowhere, that could be written off without even a thought to it, the “crime” is someone about to go home and do drugs in their living room and go to sleep.

What people don’t realize is that we all do “drugs” nearly every day and all day.  Drugs being, a substance you take that alters your state of mind, or body chemistry to achieve an effect: sleepiness, euphoria, relaxation, energy.  Even the president mentioned that drugs should not be criminalized.

The news always portrays legalizing drugs  as leading to anarchy and mass vehicular manslaughter.  But, what they leave out is that huge segments of the population already do drugs and there is none of this anarchy nor mass vehicular manslaughter.  But, we can assume that the media takes this position [which uh journalists aren’t supposed to take a position, but so much for being impartial eh?] because they are fed that position by big business, who owns them.

It has been game, set, match for the Black man in America.  An overwhelming majority of Black men are incarcerated on drug related charges.  If you decriminalized drug use, jails would empty out of Black men.  Billions upon billions of U.S. dollars would be lost immediately by the U.S. government, state and local governments and private jails and prisons across the U.S.

The war on drugs has been done simply to execute the Black man.  Nothing more.

For Blacks: Heirlooms Not Hand Me Downs

Second Hand is Never Bad

Second Hand Clothes

If your grandmother or grandfather gave you their car that they have had for twenty years, the average person would turn their nose up at such a thing.  In this article I want to show Black people how the rich, and by rich I mean filthy McNasty rich, keep the rest of us in the poor house, in terms of brain-washing us into thinking hand-me-downs are a bad or even terrible thing.

My father died when I was, oh not even had all my teeth come in yet.  My mother, luckily, was a pretty important person and could afford everything.  However, how she grew up never left her, and she tended to complain about things, although they didn’t really affect us, namely clothing me.  So you know, although she complained, she had the money.  She was just so used to such abject poverty that she couldn’t understand that, although she made X number of dollars a year, shoes cost $20 / $30 / $40 bucks for a kid.  Let’s back up and see how she grew up.

My mother was the middle child of 15 children.  That’s right, 15 children!  She did not have the luxury of going shopping for fall school clothing.  In fact, I don’t believe they ever went shopping for clothes at all.  She did not own a pair of shoes, until the 6th grade.  All her clothes, including Sunday dresses, were all hand-me-downs from her older sisters.  And, those dresses were hand sewn by my grandmother anyway.  [ When I went to live with my grandmother for a year, she made me three suits from scratch, and she never took a measurement. ]

Now let’s think about the situation.  All my mother’s life, all her clothes were worn by her older sisters, and she in turn handed down those same clothes to her younger sisters.  Nowhere did they ever go shopping for school clothes.  Imagine for a second, you moms and dads, never going clothes shopping for your children.  Now, I want you to actually sit down and calculate 18 years, including the baby years, of how much money you would KEEP if you never had to buy a single piece of clothes for your children, nor shoes.

Let’s go back to my original scenario of your grandparents giving you their car.  In this case I have a real live scenario.  My girl friend [ just a friend ] who is white, got her car from her mother, who bought a new car.  She turned around and gave her younger brother her truck.  Let’s give their ages: the mother is … probably in her 50s; my girl friend is 39; and her brother is 18.  So the brother goes to college with a truck.  He doesn’t have to pay anything for it, except the taxes [ taxes includes insurance, which is just another tax ] and gas.  My girl friend doesn’t have to pay anything for her car either.  Only the mother, and I assume father, have to buy the new car, but they are both in a much better position to do that, than either of the “kids”.

Wealth Preservation

Heirloom Clothing

This is exactly what Black people are missing.  So many Black people are sold on the idea that they are individuals and what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is yours.  You will find that the higher up the economic food chain you climb, the less and less that statement is true, to the point that at the top of the economic food chain [ the real rich people ] there is not even a concept of “my sons have to go out and get their own job and house and money”.  When the elite have children, they are simple their family.  Forever!  The son or daughter simply sits in the captain’s chair when the father dies.

They don’t move out.  They don’t get their own house.  They don’t buy their own car.  They don’t pay rent.  They don’t divide the family resources and give it to someone else.

That last statement is the key to it all.  Once you understand that your family simply expands with the addition of children, and weddings and grandchildren, you understand that your wealth must be maintained forever.  That wealth comes from the resources your family [ whole family ] has at their disposal.  A child [adult child] that would leave the house and go buy another house or rent an apartment and buy a car is virtually throwing away resources.

I was talking to a family member and they said, “you know us Black folk can’t live together, we need our own space.”  It is a completely false statement.  Black people have been living with each other for thousands upon thousands of years.  The Black sense of the family unit was intact until they started “integration”.

With integration, the evils of advertisement took hold of the Black family.  In an effort to get EVERYONE to buy things, the definition of what it is to be American kept being redefined, redefined, to the point it now means, get your own house / car / stuff.  Buy buy buy!

Black people are 50% poorer than white people.  We cannot afford to buy buy buy.  We need to take home the message of wealth preservation.  We need to maintain the family unit forever.

The Real Hand-Me-Downs

Here’s a brief list of things that would change your life if your parents or grandparents gave them to you, instead of you having to buy them.

• cars
• clothes
• shoes
• purses
• houses
• land
• china ware
• pots and pans and skillets
• kitchen knives
• tables
• chairs
• furniture
• tools
• suits
• wedding gowns
• jewelry
• gold
• silver
• coin collections
• business

If you had your parents live with you, or grandparents and you virtually inherited their household, you would preserve so much wealth, just in terms of things, that it would kick you up several notches in wealth.  This is not to say, go steal your parents things.  This is to say, rethink your entire lifestyle.  If you have several households that your family is paying for, stop it.  Your children shouldn’t move out of your house, until they get married and their spouse forces them to move.  Even then, if they get married, they can still live with you.

Big Black Family

This stupid notion that children should move out of the house, was nothing more than businesses changing people’s viewpoint to get them to buy buy buy.  Noone, no racial group, ever thought children should move out the house at 18.  It is a virtually new concept.  And, it is just a marketing ploy.  They keep reinforcing it, because they have to.  It is not natural for a caring parent, who loves their children, to all of a sudden say, “ok junior, get out”.  They continuously bombard us with the idea that children should get out of the house, in movies, commercials, Oprah.

To have something, you have to keep something.  Even the poorest worker in America, if they kept all of their paychecks, has 1 million dollars go through his hands.  Imagine if that worker saved every penny he possibly could.  Then, his son saved his.  By the time the grandchild rolls around, the family is soundly rich.  But, you can’t do that buying 10 cars in your lifetime.  You can’t do that buying 4 houses in your lifetime.  You can’t do that shopping for school clothes for fall and summer every year.  You can’t do that buying cheap Chinese plates that chip and break every 2 years.  You can’t do that buying pots that are so thin they burn every 2 years.  You can’t do that paying for a baby sitter, or daycare that costs more than what your wife makes at her job.  [fool]  You can’t do that sending your dumb kid to college, which you can’t afford, and neither can he, going into debt, when he could have gone to a vocational school or professional school and come out making the family twice as much as the father.  You can’t do that by sending your kid to college, only to turn around and get a job making some else rich, instead of opening up a family business or practice.
