  1. Yeah, I read the same thing about him hearing voices. So again, where were the red flag laws and why was he allowed to have weapons even after spending time in an institution???? Rhetorical question....obviously, lol. Well...... Some would say that after he killed all of those people, for him to just kill himself like that......that instant death was too easy for him. No arrest. No hearing the victims' families cussing him out. No shuffling through the courts and spending years and years locked up in a cage waiting on the death penalty. Just.....boom....and it's over. Imagine a man like Hitler causing thousands or millions of people suffer and die. In some cases long agonizing deaths. ......and to just go into a room somewhere and have a glass of champagne and write a damn love note before popping himself in just the right spot that turns his lights out? Is THAT justice? There are many children suffering from cancer who killed NOBODY and don't get to die that quickly. (tearing up a bit....) But THIS mutha...... Atleast the Japanese have a suicide ritual where they stab themselves in the guts and rip through to cause SOME suffering. These bastards have it all planned out. Probably even kick back and watch television enjoying the pain and carnage they made before killing themselves and escaping the arrest, trial, and long prison sentences.
  2. And that somewhat agrees with the answer Dr. Wesley gave in how arrogant and quite foolish White folks are to think they can either battle a Higher Power than them or even try to wipe out humanity. That's dumber than a street gang thinking they can take on the nation's military. But towards Brother Rich's question........ I'm hearing a lot of TALK from brothers about these ETs and Saucers are this, can do that, about to do this, will establish that......ok. SOMEBODY knows the truth. However like Brother Rich said, White folks are still violent and dominating and still appear to be somewhat in control over much of the darker peoples of this planet. So the question is when are the Higher Powers going to make Their move on the White Power Structure? I know that YOU (ProfD) can't answer that question, but that wasn't a rhetorical question but a sincere one.
  3. Brother Rich asked an excellent question about the help from other more powerful Black Beings.......... If there is indeed a real life "Wakanda" type civilization somewhere on this planet or in our solar system, it doesn't SEEM like the White power structure feels threatened by Them.
  4. Nel Last we heard, there are no 'native' Blacks in the United States of America. Seems like you're "hearing" from the wrong people, lol. Stop listening to White Conservatives and the Fox News crowd about the history of Black Americans. Our people have ALWAYS been here in certain amounts. We were on this land before the lighter skinned straight haired Native Americans. But the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade brought MORE of us here. Perhaps one might also want to get the native American Five Nations' opinion on that, too? And that's exactly what it would probably be, too...lol...and OPINION. Because most of THEM don't know historical FACTS outside of what White folks taught them. Infact, most so-called "Native Americans" are pretty much White people with TRACE amounts (if even that) of Native ancestry. All they need to do is stick a damn feather in their head and wear their hair in braids and they're accepted as "true indians"....lol. Back in 'the day', there was a crack head born every minute. Then that trend tapered off. Now, it looks like the pace has picked up a bit. Well atleast a crack head has an EXCUSE we can point to for their erratic thinking. Some people have NONE. Just confused and crazy as hell for no identifiable reason.....lol.
  5. The same planet that produces clowns like this: If our community didn't AGREE with it on some level, he wouldn't feel that comfortable doing it. You don't see Arabs or Iranians doing it.....at all.
  6. Take an average post from you as a clear example.....lol.
  7. Now let's hear what White Republicans REALLY think of Black people.....lol. We don't need a secret recording for that. They tell us much of how they feel out in the open.
  8. ProfD I don't even consider DJ Envy Black. I'm not sure exactly what his ethnic background is but he clearly grew up hanging around AfroAmericans and learning our mannerism and was clearly accepted by the community he was in AS a fellow Black man. Oh, he has Black IN him.....maybe he's mixed. Maybe he's some sort of Latino. But....if I may tap in to Tariq Nasheed's rhetoric....his features aren't that typical of the average FBA. Neither does the man he was in those videos dealing with. Both of them look like they are of the same racial/ethnic background. This is one of the reasons we need to keep it in the "family". Stop accepting so many of these "funny" people into our social gatherings and families expecting some sort of comradery with them.
  9. Well...... Somebody had to, lol. THEY obviously weren't going to kill him. Hell.....we went to two or three different scenes killing people which would have taken ATLEAST 30 minutes all together. Lewiston isn't that big of a city, how long did it take the police to get the report??? In most big cities it only take the police 5 or 6 minutes on average to arrive at a site after dispatch notifies them. Now THIS devil can go from site to site killing people in a small town....one of which is a damn BOWLING ALLEY...yet no police knew about it until he was finished. Most bowling allies and bars are HANG OUTS for off-duty cops!!!!! Not THIS time.....🤔 No armed civilians or "good guys with guns" in any of the sites for Fox News and the right-wing crowd to brag about, it seems. Dude probably EXPECTED to get killed by somebody and just gave up trying and decided to just do the shit himself.
  10. What happened to those "red flag" laws that allow law enforcement to seize your weapons if you're shown to be mentally unstable? That's a rhetorical question, btw.......... Also, where were all of these "good samaritans with guns" you keep hearing about in the news? According to reports, he went to three different locations killing people. You mean in a society as heavily armed as this one, there were no "good guys with guns" to save the day??????
  11. Check out this clip. He clowned so much, atleast one of his jokes WILL take yo ass out.....lol My man Tariq needs to do his own comedy show. This clip is MM 50-1:08 for the comedy, but he does touch on other more serious subjects for the first hour or so.
  12. ProfD Otherwise, a capitalistic economy isn't built on an endless supply of jobs. Not sure what a Capitalistic economy is built up but the supply of jobs ARE literally "endless". Like my signature suggests, it's not about limiting your desires but expanding your Creativity. Back in the turn of the century in 1900 there were people who thought EVERYTHING possible was invented, so why even have patents anymore. Just enjoy the rest of the days....lol. Look how far humanity has come in 123 years. Same with the economy in general. There's enough jobs and need for more institutions and help to put 10 times as many people already in working, to work. Troy Plus we are more efficient. Are we really? Traffic jams are longer. People wait longer to be seen by doctors. Doctors no longer make house calls. Most stores no longer bag your groceries anymore. The average cars people are driving are much older. Most gas stations no longer offer full service anymore. Trash and recycling pick-up is very specific now and won't get your trash if it's OUTSIDE of the container. There's a teacher shortage. There's a nursing shortage. There's a wait for organ donations. More people have chronic diseases. More people are in prison and jails than in the past. The list goes on and on...... We're not even as efficient as we were as a society 40 years ago! You don’t need as many people to manufacture things or grow our food. I'd say that you actually DO need to grow your own food today because much of the food isn't being grown but "generated" in laboratories. And most of the manufacturing is being done OUTSIDE of the nation, while millions of Americans are jobless and homeless. There are PLENTY of opportunities and positions for jobs in this society, the question is who will pay? Our productivity has gone up, but people really don’t feel it because everything has gotten so much more expensive. I will say that in many cases the productivity has gone up because they have done a good job CYCLING THROUGH people to get the job done. In most factories today, they rely on temp workers to get simple jobs done. Jobs people can be trained for in a day. As soon as they get tired or slow or have a bad day, they are replaced by another temp worker; and so on and so forth. Also we have a LARGE influx of immigrants steadily streaming into this nation willing to be more productive for lower wages. There are SO MANY people out of work and semi-unemployed that they have a huge supply of desperate workers to choose from who are willing to do anything for any wage. I think that's some of what the UAW is striking about. In an economy, where there is increased, efficiency one would expect lower prices. If there is no longer a need for someone to hand out tokens in the subway, why does it cost more to ride the train? If we don’t need people to collect tolls, why has the toll increased? If the United States is energy independent, why do gasoline and utilities cost so much more? Thanks to the Republican party and help from the Democrats, the Federal and most of the State governments have DIS-empowered themselves and gave their power over to private industries who have cut services and benefits to the citizens. Look at the massive man-made power outages in California. PG&E is a private company who pretty much chooses to do what they like with the energy with little oversight by the government.
  13. Notice how SPECIFIC he was in his criticism of BLM and didn't push the typical right-wing Republican narratives about the movement. Nor did he let the hosts trick him or trap him into focusing ONLY on BLM when it comes to political corruption when they come no where close to the most corrupt out there. He was SURGICAL in his words and critique. Pay attention to both what he said AND what he was careful not to say.....less he inadvertently send the wrong message that we should support one devil (Republican party) over the other (Democat Party). He said ALL of them do it.....not just BLM or the Democrat party. Hell, if you want to start exposing political organizations who mishandle money then MOST of them on both the Democrat and Republican side would have to be examined. This is the type of intelligence that is needed to defeat White racism and it's power structure. Clarity of thought and focus.
  14. Man, I was listening to this and thought of our conversation.........
  15. frankster Yes...and there are reports of them interfering with our nuclear activities. Perhaps, they are interfering with AND giving us nuclear technology based on what you said next............. Maybe it's more than one group with differing Ethics, Rules and Relationships with us and among themselves. 🧐 Now this is a VERY thought provoking thing to consider. More than one group of Extraterrestrials, who possibly don't get along with eachother. Perhaps one of the groups GAVE humanity nuclear technology. And another group is trying to prevent it's use. Maybe for them it's not about death and or the individual. Could be some grow strong by our suffering and death... Although I wasn't thinking THAT, as I was typing up #3, I thought about what if THEY didn't see "death" the same way most humans see it. Maybe they felt that since ONLY the human body dies and the soul lives on forever in other bodies and/or Realms, they don't see death and destruction the same way human beings in their limited perspective do. Perhaps they see war and death among humans like an adult would see fist fights and occasional bloody lips among elementary school kids. ....an often distressing but necessary part of growing up as we learn to relate to eachother.
  16. frankster WE do not know how Advance they or how or what type of access they have to the technology they are using....We do not know if it is a alien in his garage or a well established organization or fringe group of upstarts. Well, let's say YOU AND I don't know. We can't assume or presume that NO other human knows those answers. Indeed there are many humans who claim TO know. But as for you and I.......... We may not "know" the extent of their technology, but we'd have to DEDUCE based on the limited information we have on them that they ATLEAST have: 1. The technology to build vehicles 2. The ability to understand and defy the laws of gravity 3. The technology to manipulate metals. 4. The technology to manipulate various forms of energy 5. The ability to understand and evade hostile human technology 6. A measure of Creativity and design 7. A measure of interest and/or curiosity in human beings There are many other things we can infer based on our limited observations and interactions with them these past 100 years or so.
  17. ProfD But, as Neely Fuller Jr. would point out..... What if the racist says that him being incharge IS "justice"....lol. The racist feels that a negro being equal with him ISN'T justice. He feels to put a negro on the same pedestal as him ISN'T fair. Lol...how dare we even INSINUATE such a thing as "him not being incharge" and running the show!!!!
  18. ProfD 😉 Why not simply EXPAND the economy? Why should the old fight with the young over limited jobs and positions when we could just INCREASE the amount of positions and services in our society? In a nation of 400 million people, who said we need only ONE city treasurer in each city? Infact, why not just do like China and build more cities to make more treasurers or mayors or civil engineers! It's funny how people are fighting with eachother over limited jobs WHILE they're shutting down factories and jobs and closing schools and moving them overseas. The population is GROWING but the resources are being cut.....more things that make you go: 🤔-Hmmmmmm There is PLENTY of land....empty land.....in the United States for PIONEERS to move to and build up whatever we'd like. The LIMITS set are man-made limits. Zoning laws. Billionaires or those in government who OWN the land and are preventing people FROM building on it and expanding this economy. They do this intentionally just to PIT people against eachother....needlessly. If @Cynique is jealous because Pioneer is getting so much attention and love and respect for HIS posts and she feels he doesn't deserve all of it...... Cynique doesn't have to leave out of anger and jealousy; all we have to do is EXPAND the site so that Cynique has a forum where SHE can be "that guy" who is getting all of the love and respect.....lol. This planet is big enough for everyone to do their thing IN PEACE. There is enough KNOWN resources (let alone UNKNOWN recourses) for everyone to have enough and do their thing IN PEACE. No need to fight and argue over that which is abundant. What's why in my signature I wrote that it's important to expand you CREATIVITY. A lot of problems in this world could be solved if we simply used our Creativity and Resourcefulness.
  19. While you're right to a "certain extent", couple things must be kept in mind........................... 1. The reason why I put "certain extent" in quotes, is because under assumed NORMAL circumstances you would be correct that as a sound adult she would be responsible for her own actions and should have known better. Yes. However as I said before, she COULD have mental/psychological problems that haven't been shared with the public. If this is the case, she wouldn't know any better or know the full consequences of her actions as a normal adult should so she shouldn't be held accountable. She should get some help FIRST. 2. Outside of that. We can't have a double standard or allow our enemies to hold OUR people to a higher standard than their own, morally or legally. If you're going to let White men and women file false police reports and make false allegations and get away with them without legal punishment......then you MUST let Black people do the same. If you prosecute Black folks for a particular crime, then you must prosecute Whites for the same crime. That's justice. That's fairness. Now we know that racism exists and they will TRY to hold our people to a different standard, but then it's on US to stop this. If we allow it unchecked, then we would be failing in OUR responsibility to challenge and overcome the enemy.
  20. Not sure about China, however whether some African nations are withholding information or not....I'm wondering what kind of information do they have that is helping them? I haven't heard a lot of information about Extraterrestrial contact with Africans, especially sub-Saharan African people. The two major cases I've heard from so far in my studies have been: 1. The Dogon people of Mali who are said to have had THOUSANDS of years contact with Extraterrestrials. 2. A South African "Shaman" by the name of Credo Mutwa claims to have had Extraterrestrial contract. But like I said.......... Whatever information they have, I'm wondering how is it benefiting them in terms of helping protect their nations and their people and empowering them against Western hegimony.
  21. ProfD Even China's economy is built on doing business with the US. Exactly. Which is why I constantly tell people that China is NO THREAT to the U.S. They aren't fucking with Taiwan anytime soon. Not just because they don't want the military smoke from the U.S. but simply they don't want to lose the financial benefits from the West. The original Communist spirit of the Chinese Revolution of the 40s entire PURPOSE was to break China away from the financial and social control that the Western powers had and still have over so much of the world. Now the Chinese Communist Party is the SLAVE CATCHER for the West. It would take a whole lot of ifs for Asian countries to close ranks and turn against the US. LOL....
  22. Some are crazy and others are professional disinformationists. They may know the truth about some of these UFOs and the government's dealings with them, but INTENTIONALLY spread lies and falsehood in the public to throw people off the truth path.
  23. Troy Well, you already believe that there's only ONE RACE (the human race). You might as well take it one step further and declare that we're all part of the SAME TRIBE too.....lol.
  24. Rather than using AGE as a qualification, I think we should simply use ABILITY. If you are over 35 and still able to care for yourself, think critically, hold conversations, travel, and do ALL of the tasks that that office requires of you....then you should keep your job. If you set the qualifications, then you don't have to worry about age limits because IF they get too old to actually do the job....their ACTIONS or lack thereof will disqualify them from holding the position.
  25. You know what...... I think the Asian nations (China, Japan, and both Koreas specifically) actually COULD pose a real threat to the global White power structure IF they were totally united and had their head on straight. They have the numbers and the technological ability. They are also more "isolated" from the West than Africa is. Meaning...... Yeah, there are White folks in every continent spying and doing their thing including China, Korea, and Japan....but they can't or won't just "run around" in China or the Korea doing whatever the hell they want to do with nobody noticing them like they can in some parts of Africa or South America. But as of now, most Asians LOVE White folks too much and seek to imitate them too much to pose any real threat. Could a unified and radical "Pro-Yellow" Asia destroy the White power structure? Not sure. But they could certainly leave them SHOOK....lol.
