Then and Now: We are a Nation of Slaves!



When I set out to learn about my ancestors in 1968, I was looking for the ship that my people came over to America on.  After  30 years of research, I found that I am probably one fifth African and four fifths Native American. But that did not stop me from  researching that 1/5 of my make up as well as my 4/5 of my Native American Blood.   
 
In the first video below, you will see a part that could sound like me 300 years ago. If you would have asked me at that time how to obtain wealth, I would have said buy land and slaves. We all remember how are mother's and Grandmother's cooked a ham. At the master's house, the whites would tell you that no one can bake a ham better than a Fat Black Nanny. We still say that today.


Watch these 6 videos and see if anyone in them reminds you of people in your family or people you know today. Times may have changed but people never do. You will find the reason why you are like you are.

The African Americans Many Rivers to Cross Episode 6 A More Perfect Union 1968 -- 2013  

For me, my history came from two major family lines.

My father's people walked from North Carolina to Oklahoma at gun point under President Andrew Jackson's Army. They left the reservation when the reservation was declassified. Many young  people in the family was taken away from their Cherokee Family and sent to Cumberland County Pa. Since my ancestors could not talk to one another, many had to leave. One of my ancestors got a job on a fishing boat in Houston, Texas in the turn of the 20th Century. He was shot and killed by the KKK because he had a job. The family ran to the north. My Grandfather worked on the garbage truck in a town called Homestead, Pa. My father got a job in the post office and started his own Electric Company. My oldest brother was the first to go to college and receive a Masters Degree. He has always been the boss at every job that he had after he left the Army as a Caption.    

My Mother's people: Eliza Thorne was half Cherokee and half Black whose ancestors were probably captured and sold to his master, Cereal Slaughter. Virginia permitted slaves to work on their own time for themselves. By the time the Union Troops came through Culpeper, she was able to leave the plantation move down Rt.29 and bought an 11 acre farm and a team of horse with a Conestoga Wagon in Stony Point, Va. She also bought a heard of cattle. Generations latter, the browns had several men and women with Master Degrees with high paying jobs.

One generation built another level of success from the past generations. Children of these people have started their own businesses or became leaders in their own fields.

So you think your Black Leaders Got Your Back?



This is your Uncle Charlie Now


No, your Black Leaders are in a click like many other people around the world. Don't think that they are going to help you. You better learn to help yourself. For example, did you know that Rev. Jessie Jackson owns a seat on the New York Stock Exchange? How many times have you heard him teaching Black people about stocks and bonds? Have you ever heard him make any speeches about creating stock clubs and taking over corporations? He know where the big power lies but he does not tell you about it. In fact, no one tells you about it or how to get any of that power.

Confession [kənˈfɛʃən] n 1. the act of confessing 2. something confessed 3. an acknowledgment or declaration, esp of one's faults, intentions, misdeeds, or crimes...

THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD BANK, JAMES WOLFENSOHN, MAKES STUNNING CONFESSIONS AS HE ADDRESS GRADUATE STUDENTS AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY. HE REVEALS THE INSIDE HAND OF WORLD DOMINATION FROM PAST, TO THE PRESENT AND INTO THE FUTURE. THE SPEECH WAS MADE JANUARY 11TH, 2010. THE NEXT 19 MINUTES MAY OPEN YOUR MIND TO A VERY DELIBERATE WORLD!

HE TELLS THE GRAD STUDENTS WHAT'S COMING, "A TECTONIC SHIFT" IN WEALTH FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST. BUT HE DOESN'T TELL THE STUDENTS THAT IT IS HIS INSTITUTION, THE WORLD BANK, THAT'S DIRECTING AND CHANNELING THESE CHANGES.

WOLFENSOHN'S OWN INVESTMENT FIRM IS IN CHINA, POISED TO PROFIT FROM THIS "IMMINENT SHIFT" IN GLOBAL WEALTH.





This will be your Grand Children, Great Grand Children and Great Great Grandchildren later.



WORLD BANKER MAKES STUNNING CONFESSION

Have you ever wondered why your public school tells you nothing about personal investments? When they do, they tell you about mutual funds where the broker can make money off of you over  decades.  If you can get into a MBA Program, that is when you find out about how to make money from investments.  Investments are the difference between the 90% of the people with 20% of the wealth and the 10% with 80% of the wealth.  Black churches teaches the Black public that wealth is not for  them. them. That is why most Black people are poor.  Here is why people like Jessie Jackson does not mention it and uses his wealth to gain influence for his own objectives.

 Black people are getting poorer while all other groups are getting wealthier.  Is it discrimination against Black people or is it stupidity by the Black churches and other leaders? Is it stupidity by the heads of each Black Family?

 You figure it out!

Is the US Government lying to you about unemployment





This is what full employment looks like.
 
When I was born, President Truman was President, then we had Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 44, Clinton, Bush 46, and Obama.  First, they have two things in common; they had at least one term as President. Second, they used unemployment figures to lie about who was employed and how many had permanent jobs.
In the late 1960s, it seemed like everyone who wanted a good job had a good job. In the small towns around Pittsburgh, the streets and shops where so crowded that people had trouble walking. In the 1970s, they started shutting down the mills and good jobs went away. I was walking down the street in Pittsburgh one day in the early 1980s and noticed a man behind the bushes. He was the first homeless person that I ever saw. I thought homelessness was a thing of the past. Through the 1980s to the present, I saw this homeless  population grow while the unemployment rate fell.
Now the unemployment rate is below 6%.  However, I see the homeless. I see the underemployed and I see record numbers of people going to food banks to eat.  This is why we see more and more people distrusting the political people working for the government. Click on the picture or on the link below. They are different but give the same message.

The US unemployment official figure, a big bold lie
 
Published on October 3, 2014
There is an actual distortion of the real conditions involving employment in the US. In many cases, they do not count people who are underemployed. Besides, unemployed means those who are actively seeking work.

Unemployment figures released by the US government are constantly underplayed and next month, they're constantly revised upwards. The official figures are as credible as the WMDs in Iraq. They're clearly wrong.

As the Obama administration raves about creating jobs and reducing the unemployment rate, the unreported truth is that Employment-to-population ratio is now lower than during the worst of the 2007-09 recession.

For all the positivity about the April jobs report-the U.S. job market remains dismal. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Just 58.6 percent of American civilians aged 16 and up had jobs in April. That's a lower employment-to-population ratio than during the worst of the 2007-09 recession.

Even though the jobless rate has fallen, millions of people aren't counted as unemployed because they've stopped looking for work, or never started. The situation is far worse for African Americans, Latinos, and other minorities.
