In the book of Leviticus chapter twenty verse 6, God commands the children of Israel not to go after familiar spirits. The Hebrew definition of a familiar spirit is a wizard, a one who practices sorcery. One of the spells that a familiar spirit cast is to mix truth with falsehood. African slaves who were brought to America, the Caribbean and their descendants have been victims of familiar spirits. The “Slave Bible”, was a familiar spirit manifested in the physical form. A sinister plot was put into motion by the publishers of the ‘”Slave Bible” to carefully remove certain chapters from the bible while others remained, thus giving the illusion that the “Slave Bible” was o…

"Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. META 6.55%▲ posted its first decline in revenue and issued a muted outlook as the company struggles to adjust to macroeconomic forces and growing competition from rival TikTok. The company reported quarterly revenue of $28.8 billion, down almost 1% from a year earlier and slightly below the $28.9 billion Wall Street was expecting. It marks the first time that the company has posted a quarterly drop in revenue from the year earlier." (The full article)

Another COMET BIGGER THAN The Green Comet! – The PURPLE MOUNTAIN COMET!-Tsuchinshan-ATLAS 2024 I love to refer to this comet as The PURPLE MOUNTAIN COMET, because it was this observatory in China that pick it up first and the name sounds awesome. However, it was thought to be an asteroid at first but when it was picked up on the ATLAS in South Africa, was when it was confirmed to be a comet with a very large mass. Therefore the comet is called Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet [C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)]. So if it does get past the sun without burning up, it is predicted to be much larger than both the comet NEOWISE and the Green Comet ZTF! …

I'm in my mid 50s. That's not old, however I guess that's considered middle aged. I don't feel or look like I thought I would back when I was in my 20s and often wondered about how my life would be if I lived to be this age. It may sound strange but I often compared myself with Mike Tyson who's a few years older than me. Back in the 90s I tried to imagine a young and buff hard core Tyson being a middle aged man of 40 or 50 and what he'd be like.....lol. It was funny to even think about. But this is Tyson...at 58. Not in PERFECT shape but....shit. I wouldn't have thought he'd look like this or even still be trying to half-way fight people …

The company that everyone knows of and has probably used at least once to deliver packages was founded by a man who dropped out of school at 11 years old. At 19 years old, with a $100 dollar investment, James Casey started American Messenger Company in 1907. His company would later become United Parcel Service (UPS). The shipping industry catapulted another successful product...bubble wrap. UPS was used as one case study but there's no shortage of successful businesses past to present. To date, there is no Black-owned equivalent of Sam's Club or Am*zon or G**gle or F8cebook. In fact, there's no majority Black-…

"Is that a right of life when the young children of this country are being reared into a sphere which is more owned by 12 men than it is by 120,000,000 people?” Senator -Huey P. Long If only history were studied more, there would be less surprises and a lot less strategic issues. If people would study history, they would know that "today's crisis" is often old news. This address was delivered by Senator Huey Long in 1934: Radio Address by Senator Huey P.

Visit this site to learn how Google make it very difficult to find information online: http://dontbubble.us/ I started noticing this years ago and was very frustrated because it seemed like no one else was getting it. Just visit the website site. The information is related very simply. The also explains why the internet has the effect of feeling like one big echo chamber. Facebook does the same thing. Discovering alternative view points of views or perspectives is very difficult. Which make learning difficult. If everyone agrees with you all the time and no one challenges you ideas you'll never learn...

New Facebook mood experiment asks, "Are you happier without Facebook?" http://99daysoffreedom.com/ July 9, 2014 Leiden, The Netherlands - In response to Facebook's controversial mood experiment involving some 700,000 unwitting users, a new initiative has launched an experiment of its own -- determining how life without Facebook impacts user happiness. The non-profit initiative, known as "99 Days of Freedom," asks users to refrain from Facebook use for a period of 99 consecutive days and report-back on how the hiatus affects personal notions of happiness. The initiative's website, 99daysoffreedom.com, provides a set of simple user instructions, which include pos…

For the past 25-years (as a personal project of interest) I've been reading, staying abreast of controversial arguments surrounding "THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION " contents of which continue to raise questions about world domination attempts by Jews. Reduced to notions of a worldwide conspiracy theory, questions abound, for me, as to how such an effort effect Blacks, globally. My question remains, could such a doctrine exist in today’s reality?

GEORGE FLOYD'S BROTHER SPEAKS OUT--It Should be First Degree Murder WOW, Philonese Floyd-- this handsome man is very well spoken. He says that President Trump spoke to the family but Trump did not allow him to speak. Well, other organizations wanted to hear what he had to say. He says that it should be 'a life for a life'. But what really got me was that he said, "THEY COMMITTED A MODERN DAY LYNCHING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT".

Candace Owens Gets Backlash From Harry Styles Fans Over ‘Bring Back Manly Men’ Tweet Celebrities and fans alike rallied to defend Harry Styles on Monday in response to a negative tweet about the artist from conservative author Candace Owens. In her post on Saturday, Owens quote tweeted Vogue Magazine’s photos from Harry Styles’ cover shoot to voice concern over the feminization of men. “There is no society that can survive without strong men,” Owens tweeted. “The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a …

In a recent conversation started by a guest poster, @Pioneer1 chose provide a detailed response, because he did not want to waste time with someone who would likely never respond. Pioneer's reaction got me thinking. Plenty of people actually create accounts, but the vast majority of these folks never participate. I appreciate some of the new accounts many be spammers (and I ban some of these straight away it they look super suspicious), but there are still plenty, like most of the ones shown below, who have recently signed up, but never post. I've been trying to figure out why. There are thousand of people who have signed for these forums. A c…

Although I think BOTH tend to be enemies of the progress and advancement of the AfroAmerican community in general, when compared with eachother I have more respect for the Sell Out and Uncle Tom than I have for the Black gangster and thug. Infact, I'd rather LIVE AROUND the Sell Out and Uncle Tom.....than live around the gangsters and thugs. The threat that the gangster and thug poses is a DIFFERENT type of danger than that of the Sell Out and Uncle Tom. What do I mean? Most Sell Outs and Toms don't pose a danger to the Black community period. They just dismiss and abandon their people and refuse to help them in order to win favor with the Whites…

The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) is being held in Chicago this week. The DNC will officially nominate VP Kamala Harris to run for POTUS. POTUS Joe Biden will pass the torch. Plenty folks will speak to support the nominee. The DNC starts with Pro-Palestinian protests outside the United Center. They are demanding a cease-fire in Gaza. Doubtful anyone will make such an announcement this week. I know our very own @aka Contrarian lives in the great state of Illinois. I'm wondering how far she lives from the windy city. Otherwise, it would be great if we had a boots on the ground correspondent at the DNC r…

https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-trump-zelensky-aid-2013465 POTUS PJB is on his way out the door. To date, his administration has sent $65.9 billion dollars to Ukraine fighting an unwinnable war. In the meantime, politicians will tell the American people there isn't enough money for eliminating diseases, universal health care, providing food and housing to every citizen and eliminating student loan debt, etc. It reminds me of someone asking for $10 dollars and a person pulls a $10 thousand dollar wad of cash from their pocket and says, I don't have it.🤣 American taxpayers are financing endeavors that are not remotely within…

Today is Flag Day. Today is the 250th b'day of the US Army. Well, it also happens to be POTUS OJ's b'day.🤡 There will be a military parade in Washington DC to celebrate 250 years of the Army. It passes a White House reviewing stand. 🙄 https://www.npr.org/2025/06/14/nx-s1-5432708/no-kings-protests-military-parade There will also be 'No Kings' protests across America too. They claim protestors will be punished. Never thought I'd see the US devolve into authoritarianism under the guise of hyper-nationalism. However, I'm not surprised. We've got 3.5 more years of this foolishness under the c…

I am to be counted among the small percentage of the population who harbors a simultaneous deep love and a heart-wrenching disappointment with my country. I can’t say that I hate my country by any stretch of the imagination because I adore the people, places, and events that have shaped my identity but to suggest that I have a God-Bless-America-Of-Thee-I-Sing blanket patriotism would be disingenuous as well. I love my nation but I see her flaws and shortcomings. I do not hate my country but I hate some of the aspects of it that taint its supposed greatness. I see myself first and foremost as a citizen of the world; my life and my story are reflected in the eyes of peo…

65th Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬: Booker T. Washington author of UP FROM SLAVERY born April 5, 1856 I read Up From Slavery as a youngster. I don't recall what or prompted me to do it. It would be many years later before I would learn that he was a "controversial" figure.

I was in Atlanta over the weekend, in the running for the “Literary Activist of the Year” Award. The awards ceremony was actually part of an entire weekend of events hosted by AAMBC (African Americans on the Move Book Club). I attended one of the events, a panel discussion billed as the following: “Meet relationship experts Terry Deron, Jevon Dewand, Gregory Alan Williams, and Stephan Labossiere and others in a conversational piece moderated by Rolling Out journalist Christal Jordan.” The Brothers on the panel were all good looking, very articulate, and successful. Two were former professional athletes, one was an author and artist, and the other was an actor.…

Stop the Gun Violence Is this what Democracy looks like? I'm commenting on the recent school shooting in Florida as well as some of the trigger happy policeman too. I'm commenting on the wreckeless use of firearms in this country period.Not only do I comment on the lone terrorists who just try to slaughter as many people as they can at one time but by police who would break into the whom of an unarmed mother breast feeding her baby and shooting her. Do we need to rewrite the 2nd amendment?Because some people obviously think that owning a weapon means stockpiling arsenal and slaughtering innocent people. I don't see Cuban and Russian…

"Jackson challenged media outlets and owners to be bold and break rules. He warned that mainstream media gets it wrong and cited a quote taken from a 2016 New York Times article that said "The influence of Black-owned media companies on Black culture is diminishing." Jackson said that media owned by Black people is to be considered a gateway to the most influential audience with a buying power of $1.1 trillion annually." The quote is taken from the aritice in the Miami Times' website. After reading that quote I can't help but think these guys have their heads buried in the sand. The New York Times statement is a statement of fact; anything else is just magic…

People are still scratching their heads over the Jussie Smollett farce after the Chicago Police Department, on the recommendation of a grand jury, leveled 16 charges against Jussie for his alleged crime of falsely claiming to be a victim of a hate crime at the hands of 2 masked Trump supporters, shouting "this is "MAGA country"! So, what had happened was that in its zeal to sanitize its bungling, racist, reputation, Chi-Town's police force conducted a very thorough investigation of the case in an effort to track down Jussie's attackers, only to reach the conclusion backed up by security surveillance cameras and other incriminating evidence, that Jussie had …

Hello Fam, I'm new to this group, I'm submitting this article below for discussion and to see where everyone's thoughts are on it. I'm quoting a couple of sections and then linking the full article at bottom. "For “black” Americans, the horrific scenarios I painted don’t have to be imagined, these are scars that are coded deep in their DNA. There is a reason I use the word “they” instead of “us”, as a first generation Ethiopian immigrant—even though I’ve experienced racism in my life—I can never really understand the burdens that African-Americans carry that have been passed down from generation to generation. Included in this anguish is having the…

Hey @Pioneer1 I decided to ban Magnetic. There were a variety of red flags. I printed out and read one of the 3,000+ word posts. Despite the misleading subject line dealing with Cleveland transportation the post was laden with conspiracy theories including anti-Covid-19 vaccination, contrails, and illuminati stuff. Posting this however is not enough for me to ban someone. I randomly pulled a couple of sentences and found that they were copied verbatim from the Scientific American. This whole ideal of wrapping conspiracy theories with text from reputable sources points to a clear intent to deceive. The tactic however was so clumsy that I figured…

I’m gonna give the white guy who shared this YouTube video the benefit of the doubt given the title of this video. I assume disparaging title was crafted to attract viewers. It popped up in my YouTube feed and I was amazed to learn it was a young Claude Brown, author of Manchild in the Promised Land! I have never seen a video of Claude Brown. He grew up in Harlem and I could relate to his story. for a kid his 20’s I think he handled the interviewer well. He was right the about Moynihan report. The interviewer kept pressing about out of wedlock births, while completely ignoring the reasons for those conditions. Interestingly the rate in Ha…

What does it take to force Biden to atleast PRETEND that he's prepared to mobilize NATO to defend Poland and maybe even Ukraine after Russian missiles actually penetrated the Polish border? Does Jada Pinkett have to come to the White house and give him one of her side-eyes to stir him up and force him to take some sort of action???? "Go just sit there and do nothing, huh....ok. Said it was an honest mistake? Ok...."

https://aalbc.com/pdf/growing up in east harlem.pdf This article was originally published in May of 1990. The PDF file is 25 printed pages and can be leisurely read in 35 minutes. I was raised in this community when I first read the article in the 90s it did not feel like it was my old neighborhood. It was a very limited perspective and completely ignored everything that caused the community to end up the why it did. It was basically poverty porn to me.

I have zero interest in this application — I'm not even curious about it. In a few years. if professionals tell me that Threads is a must-have I may look at it then, but I can't image that day coming. Twitter was always a relatively marginal social media platform. Heavily reliant on bot traffic and outrage... It is not clear how threads will gain relevance, in the long term, without doing the things people complained about Twitter doing. At some point, social media platforms will have to pay people, regular people, for engaging on the platform. Then there is Meta's increasing dominance. They have Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. A…
