@umbrarchist, Yes, it seems we've been bamboozled/hoodwinked away from advanced permaculture ... e.g., by those collecting oil and construction money, like VP-Cheney, blocking organized progress, saying, "Conservation is a personal choice." Greetings All, AI acceleration is here. I'm anxious to join those deploying AI for human good -- before others get too much farther in the destructive/extractive uses they've already deployed. (FB, Cambridge Analytica, etc) "Actionable solutions to real world problems" is my target, but there's a lot to catch up on. Where might I go to join others in deploying AI specifically for our local and Panafrican challenges?

Correct. They're only going put one of their own in in charge of certain agencies. An agency or organization dedicated to UFO/UAP is definitely top of the list.

*War* is the easiest way to *print more money*. The Department of Defense (Pentagon) gets the lion's share of the government budget. They are claiming this conflict cost billions of dollars & the war chest needs to be replenished. The plutocrats believe MAGA folks are not the brightest people in the USA & rich people *use* them as cannon fodder for votes.

That's a variation of one my favorites..."if was 5th we'd all be drunk". No doubt. It takes the *right* man & a lot of patience. That's one *excuse*. Most often, dark brothas want the lightest woman they can get. It doesn't get any lighter than white. Then, those brothas feel 1) validated from any childhood trauma as a result of being dark & 2) *won* in the system of racism white supremacy if the white woman looks good. Straight from the proverbial Willie Lynch letter, colorism has done a bang up job on many Black folks.

ProfD If a Black man steps up & loves that woman...problem solved. If... But if "if" were a "fifth"....a lot of people would walk around fucked up, lol. How can a man love a woman who really doesn't love herself? Because of her low self esteem, she will act in a way that PREVENTS him from "loving" her and getting too close. Entertainment & religion both try to get people to see themselves & each other in a better light. True. Also, it brings out the "child like" raw emotions that make people vulnerable to influence. Dark-skinned should be leading the charge in keeping themselves pumped. ....instead of trying to marry as many White or light people as they can and "mate out" their dark genetics, like so many of them do. A lot of dark skinned bruthaz get with White women because of how the sistaz treated them in childhood. frankster Educations is more than Intellect and Reasoning True, but those are the primary factors for education. Depends on what she gets a PhD in... Lol, ok...... So what PhD program do YOU know of that will correct the low self esteem of growing up as dark skinned Black female in this society? I think the word "medium" was a mistake and you meant to type "focus"... If that is what you meant then I disagree... Then you run the risk of the other hues tones and shades developing that which we are trying to Eradicate and Elliminate No, I meant medium. The point isn't to simply promote jet Black people as ideal. That's not realistic because the majority of our people (African people) aren't jet Black. The goal is to promote the "norm" with in our community. The HISTORIC norm....not the current "norm" which involves a lot of admixture. We should be promoting Black people who look like Black people have traditionally looked through out time, and that ranges from medium brown to very dark brown (almost jet black). That is true It is also true....that each individual is born without real cognizant memory of the past - and hence must be indoctrinated introduces socialized or taught about these things. While you're correct....THIS society as it is currently constructed IS teaching many children to cherish and desire white and light skin and hold it as the standard of beauty. We don't have to worry about that. This is why there must be an active campaign to teach the OPPOSITE in order to balance it out. It's not like from history up until now CLEAR people were being promoted....so now we must promote the various hues of light and dark. Light skin has BEEN promoted and is BEING promoted. We don't have to worry about them having a seat at the table, lol. Sounds reasonable.... But I would I would not recommend such actions To be honest, I'm still not completely sure if we SHOULD right now. It would undoubtedly lead to more division in the community and we'd have to weigh THAT against how long it would take to see the benefits of it. The benefits may take a generation or two, but the division and backlash from not just light skinned AfroAmericans but even brown and dark skinned AfroAmericans who would take offense to their light skinned friends and family members being "shaded", would be seen immediately. I have no problem with promoting "Black and African is beautiful".... But not to the point where one may come away with or begin to believe that white indian or asian is ugly. We all Beautiful....Vareity You're right, there is beauty in variety. However when it comes to culture and society....there is usually only ONE established aesthetical standard. One for males. One for females. ....everyone is measured against that. So if YOU don't promote YOUR OWN as being the most beautiful or as being the standard, then another group will surely promote THEIR OWN. ....and your children and their children will be forced to live with it. Currently, it's about White skin and blonde hair and blue eyes. But think of one generation after another of Black children growing up sad or angry or resentful because their skin ain't yellow and their eyes aren't slanted. If SOMEBODY has to be the standard of beauty, I'd rather it be US and not somebody else.

If I had a major media outlet where I could speak freely to the public, I'd be asking........... 1. Why do we need $200 billion more for a war conflict we "already won", according to the President? 2. Doesn't the Pentagon and Department of Defense have it's own money? Every department has it's own budget, so why does it need more funding from Congress? 3. What does MAGA and other Republicans who support Trump think of this, after he ran much of his campaign criticizing Biden and Obama for getting America in costly foreign conflicts around the globe? These are the questions TRUE opposition would be asking. But we know most of the opposition is controled anyway.

And let me guess without even doing any research.......... He was a White man. It's interesting to me that no matter how "integrated" out nation has allegedly become, there are still certain positions that ONLY White men hold. Government UFO research and other clandestine operations are just a few of them.

ProfD Lol....man, where do you come up with these lines?????

Nat King Cole was gifted & talented which brings a certain level of respect & admiration even among enemies. I believe Nat King Cole used his gift to the make the best of time on the planet as a Black man.

Clinics hand out free contraceptives. I do not recall where I typed that people should kill themselves and/or have abortions. Humans have found ways to avoid procreation for a very long time. Humans have been given the ability to think & rationalize. Maturity is understanding the responsibility that comes with it.

In the mean time, silky-voiced Nat Cole, a Chicago product, enjoyed tremendous popularity among his own people. He put out a lot of single 78 vinyl records in the '50s as I recall, and they were all hits! We loved us some Nat "King" Cole. Back in the day, a lot of - perish the thought - colorist negro women used to pay him the left-handed compliment by declaring that "the only thing they liked black were Cadillacs and Nat Cole". To this day, like one of his best sellers, he remains "Unforgettable".

Okay... Educations is more than Intellect and Reasoning That is also part of and a form of Education....And they also involve Reasing and Intellect - but not limited to Depends on what she gets a PhD in... For some it is.... Others may need more... True True I think the word "medium" was a mistake and you meant to type "focus"... If that is what you meant then I disagree... Then you run the risk of the other hues tones and shades developing that which we are trying to Eradicate and Elliminate That is true It is also true....that each individual is born without real cognizant memory of the past - and hence must be indoctrinated introduces socialized or taught about these things. Yes Yes True Sounds reasonable.... But I would I would not recommend such actions If this is so.... Show where USA Paying Reparations will negatively affect any individual financially? I have no problem with promoting "Black and African is beautiful".... But not to the point where one may come away with or begin to believe that white indian or asian is ugly. We all Beautiful....Vareity Some or most learned it during their Colonial Experience

Sure. Entrenched blue states do not make as much of a difference in the POTUS election. Same goes for red states. Swing states flip-flopping play a huge role in determining POTUS election outcome. Those are the states that Democrats need to pour the most time & energy convincing folks to "vote blue no matter who".

True There is weapons trading ....weapons that the West refuse to trade with African countries Agreed True dat

Some these do not care if they live or die - few want to die.....after all 72 virgins are waiting just for them That does happen.... I have seen little evidence of Iranian involvementFre It does happen from time to time... I think one was recently killed in the Congo. Some are... Start with AllAfrica.com

@ProfD contraception comes in many forms and the only free contraception i know of is abstinence, which has always existed, but again, if humanity abided by your stated action then humanity wouldn't exist today. A species murdering themselves is the most unnatural thing for any species to do. To rephrase, all children of earth procreate, trees make babies in trashheaps, fish make babies in dirty streams, birds make babies under toxic air. humans like all other children of earth make babies under all sorts of circumstances and are not irresponsible for failing as a parent. PArt of maturity of any living being is comprehending this anceint truth and to think opposite is foolish.

Contraception is free especially in places where poor people live.

Chicago's legendary Democratic Mayor Richard M. Daley who was the consummate political "boss", once made the statement that "all politics are local". And so they are. The Democratic party takes a lot heat from its right wing detractors, not to mention its perennial black critics who claim its leaders take the black vote for granted, while never addressing the needs of rank and file voters. A patented argument that can be refuted. Chicago's local Democratic machine was running on all cylinders this past election Tuesday as black voters turned out in big numbers rewarding the black candidates and white supporters who have served them well in the past, leaders ranging from Aldermen to the re-elected black Democrat female President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners to the Governor of Illinois, himself. If Democrats lose the Presidential election, blue state Illinois will remain united, endeavoring to serve its Democratic constituency, striving to stand up to a corrupt fascistic Retrumpican regime. On another note, a black female Democrat will be running to fill the seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Senator Dick Durbin. Elsewhere, jailbird Jesse Jackson, Jr., looking to Jumpstart his stalled political career, finished a distant second to another sista in the state representative contest. His petulant stance, chastising the 3 Presidents attending his daddy's funeral apparently didn't sit well with a lot of people, and this came back to haunt him.

@ProfD I know, but I look at it another way. Black people like Nat King Cole, like Frederick Douglass, MLK jr, James Forten, Michelle side Barrack Obama have always existed in the usa or the white european colonies/dominions that proceded it. Black people like Nat King Cole say to non blacks, non black dosers, that I will treat you with respect, with civility , even if you don't treat me the same. And not because I want to be humiliated or insulted or because I am weak, but because I treasure peace even amongst you... especially amongst you. I don't want to live my life fighting whites every day. That to me is what Nat King Cole, Billy Eckstine (that whites treated sinfully) Nichelle Nichols (who suffered a lot of crow for the idea of Uhura who lives among the non black humans in the future:) far far future in peace, sorry non humans still a way to go for that) and other entertainers are saying. They fully know the Nat turners, the Jean Jacques Dessalines, the Quilombos are in the community, black people who don't trust the non black, don't want to live civilly among the nonblack, are willing to be armed and violent to uphold the way of life they want to have. But, Nat King Cole and other blacks like him, are willing to trust, live civilly with, willing to be unprotected around the non black, not naively or stupidly but with hope. That is the real point. Frederick Douglass's composite nation speech isn't suggesting the enslaver becomes the friend easily or overnight or simply. The enslaver becomes the abuser, the abuser becomes the trickster, the trickster becomes the dour, the dour may one day become the kin, the kin becomes the ally, the ally becomes the friend, the friend becomes the lover. Cause all awhile from enslaver to lover, the other was always the neighbor, no segregation ever existed, it was always integrated ,in various forms. So, if the black is to embrace civility living aside the non black in various forms, it is a process, part of that process is being told to where white face paint and giving in sometimes and not giving in other times.

@ProfD well fiscally poor people are not irresponsible for bringing children in this world, the simple truth is some fiscally poor people never have the ability to raise their children, no matter how hard they try. Maybe there isn't but I have doubts, too many black people I have heard offline speak of fiscally poor people, especially black people ... being irresponsible having children... One day when I get time I will research and find the source in the usa , cause most of the black people I can think of in the past who said the point in question, were black church folk or old black money in the usa, black people who were rich from the 1800s , and the rest is trickling from either source.

Mysterious ..... I think they took him to planet Serpico

A retired, Airforce Major General disappeared from his home a week or so ago. The retired, Maj-Gen left his electronic devices at the crib. However, he did take his gun. The retired guy onced headed up an agency that oversaw UFOs/UAPs. Of course, all types of speculation around his disappearance from abduction to deep state assassination. He'll turn up one way or another. Maybe...

The USA dust-up with Iran has already cost billions of dollars. Recently, the Pentagon says they need an additional 200 billion bucks to keep up the fight. Before anyone gets dew-y eyed & surrenders their piggy-bank or cashes stocks & bonds or sell fish dinners, the Pentagon isn't strapped for cash. Considering all that wrong with the economy & folks being poor, hungry & homeless, I'm sure Americans could find something else to do with that $200 billion dollars.

Probably trying to distract white folks from the Epstein files & dust-up with Iran & soaring price of gas.

If a Black man steps up & loves that woman...problem solved. Entertainment & religion both try to get people to see themselves & each other in a better light. Black folks definitely have the resources to make it happen. Dark-skinned should be leading the charge in keeping themselves pumped. Black folks definitely should not put up with shade from anyone especially immigrants.
