  1. Today
  2. @ProfD Those are generalizations about white people. And I believe Trump is very insecure when it comes to smart black women. It always amuses me how much you guys LOVE this country, but dislike your country men.
  3. Did either one of them marry her? If not, she didn't "pull" them. She was just a star struck "thot". 🫣
  4. @Troy In its summation, Gemini never said one way or another that the places you mentioned weren't empires. Or that America wasn't a civilization. America not being a specific civilizaton was my opinion reached from the dictionary definition of civilization. Your disputing that empires last longer than 250 years is your opinion. I don't feel that America can be separated from the general term of Western civilization. To me, loosely speaking, civilization is about culture and Anthropology. While Empires are about conquest and control. Dividing an empire into 10 phases is an arbitrary convenience, using certain criteria which can be disagreed with. We might be in a semantical bind.
  5. Aliens are apparently real. My money is on them being Earth based and not "alien" at all.
  6. No one is asserting that they are interchangeable--at least I'm not. However, they are also not mutually exclusive as I wrote American is both. The point I was simply making s that many empires (and civilizations has lasted longer the 250 years and to assert this as a paradigm is a function of a myopic western European perspective. The fact that you are seeing references to this perspective making the rounds is not surprising. I presume you saw most of these references online and we know who controls the online space (newsflash it ain't us 😉).
  7. Wow! I need to know what woman can pull not one but TWO of the Jackson Five! The kids' father is also their uncle...
  8. The terms "civilization" and "empire" are not interchangeable according to Gemini, a distinction I'm very comfortable with although I'm inclined to believe you two will disagree. There's nothing drastically distinctive about American culture and mores when it comes to the ongoing progression of western Civilization. Its location is what distinguishes it. It became an Empire via conquest and political domain.
  9. Warts & all, there's a reason people from all over the planet have migrated to America. Of course, some Black folks didn't have a choice.😁😎
  10. Correct. Jermaine & Randy have sibling-cousins. Not gossip. It's been a known fact for decades.😎
  11. WT Hillbilly F! Where did you learn that piece of gossip so their kids are both siblings and cousins huh?
  12. No, the two are different but, America is both a civilization and empire.
  13. Who or what determines these are official? Hopefully it's not the same lying bodies that have been playing the games for many decades.😁😎
  14. RMnewsletter 5th version 05102026 Happy Mother's Day https://open.substack.com/pub/rmnewsletter/p/rmnewsletter-5th-version-05102026?r=xit0b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
  15. We'll see & hear what they choose to make available. in the meantime, I'm still waiting for a UFO/UAP crash landing in a Wal-Mart parking lot on a busy day.🤣😎
  16. Yes.... They are the ones safe for public consumption.....at this time Of course they are.....Whats important is that they are Official I have seen many of the Unofficial Ones....very likely so have you They are available all over the internet. They Have been leak already.....but they were discredited by officialdom
  17. Truth is truth...they grainy They just not releasing the clear up close and definitive Well this one....wont fade or go anywhere - it only gets better with time
  18. Interesting to have such a response to basically the same sh8t they've been peddling for a long time. Reminds me of Charlie Brown & Lucy & the football prank that never seems to get old. 🤣😎
  19. Yesterday
  20. Okay all are blurry fuzzy and of low quality.... without context so it means little to nothing - as expected But it is a start and context will be forth coming.... Excuse my while I drool........and gloat. Official Release website/platform of US UFO/UAP related Documents https://www.war.gov/UFO/ Also a good site https://www.aaro.mil/ National ArchivesRecords Related to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and...The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has records related to unidentified flying objects (UFO) and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) across numerous record groups and collection Pentagon releases declassified UFO files My response to the scientist who are still skeptical.....there more to science than you know - what is impossible or inconceivable to you maybe mundane and ho hum to a civilization One thousand years ahead of us. In short..... FU Federal government releases 'mysterious' and 'compelling' files on UFO sightings US releases files on UFOs, decades of sightings revealed New Pentagon UFO files: 6 videos worth watching
  21. Yes I am exited.....like a schoolboy about to have sex for the first time
  22. White folks are not intimidated by non-whites with qualifications & credentials. They use that as a way to control the number if non-whites allowed to thrive under the system of racism white supremacy. Otherwise, there's no shortage of unqualified white people allowed in any given position up to POTUS. Merely being white is a qualification. White men do not marry women for their intelligence or lack thereof.🤣😎
  23. Right. Joe Jackson enjoyed everything that came with making his family rich.😁 Kathryn the matriarch held it down & kept them together. Neither Joe nor Kathryn could stop Jermaine & Randy from having kids by the same woman. 🤣😎
  24. I wasn't familiar with Baldwin's writing at the time. However there are artist that I thought it was important to see. He was one of them. @Troy I remember running into you and Jasper at the Nina Hendrix concert I Brooklyn. And a play that your friend was an actor. IT to Bookseller plus you have a wide range.
  25. WOW. That's all I can say. Ancient history I'd forgotten about. I've been outed. 😮
