Communities Of Color & The Covid-19 Vaccine


Ray Charles – “I Don’t Need No Doctor”
W.A.S.P – “I Don’t Need No Doctor”

Vivere Populi Mei 🚑 Live On, My People

President Joe Biden made a slip up the other day, people have been teasing him about when he said that Blacks in rural areas don’t know how to use the computer to get on the internet to know where the vaccination cites are. Hmm, that came out wrong. We know how to use computers Joe and it’s not just the rural areas. The real problem here is the lack of convenient access to numerous, affordable and adequate internet service providers in our towns & cities mainly due to a racist agenda to keep certain Communities of Color impoverished from competing with fully sourced White ones, despite the educated persons here with their available talents, the cultural resources, and general commercial & political interest in these communities. So The American Government has been pushing this interest for Black people to receive the Corona Virus Vaccine as if they really care about us. Truth be told, no Conscious thinking Black person knowing and studying our history really trusts The System, especially when it appears to be specifically targeting us. We don’t know what’s in the drug or what your true intention is. It might be a drug designed to interfere with our divine melanin benefits. Or, it might be a medicine meant to induce gay behavior you’re trying to get people across the globe to take since The Democratic Party promotes a gay lifestyle. What do you care if Black People die? Go vaccinate your own. If there’s really a disease out there, then as a race of Caucasoid people that can easily be bred out of existence over time if you’re not careful, you should want to vaccinate your own first, right? I’m not concerned too much that vaccines aren’t reaching Black people. Do you know that as a dark-skinned people, we’ve survived through the eons of years on the planet some of the most deadliest diseases known to Man? Many astute Doctors & Scientist will argue that a man-made substance introduced to an otherwise healthy body can interfere with its natural ability to maintain itself. This is no different from a person of any race who has been operating normally without an illness, then all of a sudden he/she was conned into getting a Flu shot, and their system got out of whack with the person falling ill because of it. Also some of the side-effects in many medications are more dangerous than the illness itself. Some news sources out there have even reported some people already dying from that Covid-19 vaccine. The Human Body, equipped with the natural minerals & nutrients it requires to fend off illnesses coupled with a vigorous spirit, sound mind, & adequate rest is all it needs. I’ve not had a problem throughout all this pandemic. And I still see many of the same Niggers around me in my neighborhood moving about just fine. I don’t know what millions of dead Colored people dying from Covid-19 you’re talking about. Also, a lot of this has to do with mind over matter. Our genetics as a Primordial people is more than equipped to deal with any germ or virus on its own. We don’t need you.

The Biden-Harris Transition To Power

Imperium Et Libertatem 🗽 Empire & Liberty

Buffalo Springfield – “For What It’s Worth”
The ‘Black Lives Matter’ Version
The Trump Supporters Version

Okay, so the 2021 Inauguration of both the President & VP Elect, went well today. Things looked the way it should and we now have POTUS #46, and a new First Lady even though Trump did not attend, but he did leave the traditional exit note which Biden read and chose to keep private until he spoke with him, calling it generous. Ex-Vice President Mike Pence attended, extending diplomacy. Now, let’s go back to 2-weeks ago when The Nation experienced an uproar almost similar to The Boston Tea Party, just to reference something from America’s past. Do you know that it’s the Constitutional Right for The People to rise up and overthrow their government if they no longer see it fit? So when Prosecutors are rounding these folks up, they need to realize that. A charge of treason wouldn’t apply. Remember over The Spring & Summer when there were racial issues continually arising with the senseless murder of Blacks at the hands of The Police and other White Men, during The Covid-19 Crisis, it sparked major tension throughout our cities leading to riots, burning & looting, and so forth, by a mix of Colored & Non-Colored Protesters, yet there was no major Prosecution of that. So what we learn is as long as The Fight remains in The Street, tearing down businesses, marching & chanting, then that’s not seen by ‘The American Powers That Be’ as a revolution. But when a mainly Caucasoid group march forth protesting against an Election lost, and storm Capitol Hill breaking in, then you see that as shocking. You were so frightened that it invoked the reality of The French Revolution possibly happening here. Well you wouldn’t have hesitated to shoot had you seen a bunch of angry Blacks marching forth. You would have already been geared up with every trooper in sight. Well many Blacks have made the sacrifice willing to die in the past fighting your bigot government. That’s how we got to where we are today. The reason why this time around The Troopers stepped aside and let The White Protesters in, is because they felt the same way. They believed The Democrats stole The Election. So let’s be fair. When Trump won The Election in Nov 2016, and was accused of collusion with Russia, Democrats didn’t storm The Capitol, they just talked about it, and let a case slip through their fingers. So fast forward to the events a few weeks ago where 5 people died, when a disgruntled Republican President with a lot of power who was made fun of, was able to stand up at a podium, wave his Ivy League hand at a rally of furious fans and made a couple comments which they followed through on, showing you how many voters he really had. They were even willing to lynch Vice President Mike Pence for not using his power at the time to declare Trump, The Winner but to be fair, he did not comply with the democratic interest of impeaching Trump and taking the reins about 2-weeks before this Inauguration. And to this day, these Voters still hold to their conviction that Trump is still their President. So now showing proof of voter fraud is irrelevant. You now have a problem trying to be President over these people. So now that you hold The Reins of Power Joseph R. Biden, are you prepared to make possible racial decisions that may not sit well with The Public? You see, when you look out the corporate window of your White House you’re not exactly going to see a mix of people from all races, shapes & sizes, what you are going to see is just a sterile inanimate non-gender being looking back at you with one half of its face white & the other half black. That’s how decisions are going to be made. They’re mainly perceived that way because America is not the integrated melting pot we pretend to be and The Trump people know that. They don’t pretend everything is alright. They know the problem. You might need to make the unpopular choice one day of needing to do something racist for political reasons. With your current alliance with novel ideals, it will be pretty hard to assert a much needed racial move to globally protect The Nation, without upsetting The Apple Cart. But if your color is Orange, and you care about the color green, you made no promise either way that a black & white genderless being can hold you to. So you go about your way leading and building, and IT can’t impose a demand or make a case for something. Many Black Men have not forgotten your racist rhetoric back in the day Joe, about eliminating them from The Streets because they’re Super Predators. And now you have former Prosecutor & Senator, now Vice President Kamala Harris at your side who was criticized for locking up many Blacks on trivial charges. Do you realize how you look? Trump didn’t look any better, but why did certain Blacks choose him instead, well it was The Lesser Of Two Evils, Trump’s realism and off-the-rails ways sometimes appeals to some Progressive Blacks because it led to something good. If you had 2 Plantation Owners contending against one another. You notice that Joe goes around smiling with the local Politicians, he has Black friends, he pretends he cares about certain issues over the years, but signs on to policies that cripple any chances of Black Liberation. Meanwhile, openly racist Don goes around to his golf course, hangs out at his Country Club, and so forth, not really caring too much about poor people’s problems, but some Abolitionist out there doing some outreach program in his parts, selling some idea to him, he listens and funds the program and then a week later he sees the rehabilitation of some hapless Black Person, and the Negro moved on a week later to becoming a Corporate ShareCropper, then he’s doing a little better than that other Black Person stuck on the Democratic Plantation looking at a ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign his Master just painted as a commemorative accomplishment, after a negro he knew died after a terrible whipping on that spot. Now I’m sorry for coming up with an analogy like that, but this is how a lot of Sensitive Blacks in some communities are seeing you. They weren’t very happy with Barrack Obama either. Mainly Black Women liked him. So now, let’s look forward to Kamala Harris becoming President. It will be the first, a humongous step from Slavery since the 1600s. It took this nation that long to overcome the idea of electing a Colored Female to such a prominent Public Office. The expectations and burden she’ll have to bear. Anyway, good luck to your occupancy in The White House. And beware that your Presidency isn’t overshadowed by the harrowing figure of Donald J. Trump.

3 Shows NOT Missed In 2019

Shalamar ~ “A Night To Remember”

Enim Vero Di Nos Quasi Pilas Homines Habent 🧜‍♂️ The Gods Use Mortals As Their Playthings


ONCE UPON A TIME
First Aired: 10/23/2011

Okay. Like Many, I really liked the show when it first aired in….. and like many TV shows tend to do, it started to get stupid along the way with the Writers trying too hard to squeeze in too many different story plots with the different fairytale characters. My favorite Ones throughout the show were Rumpelstiltskin, Peter Pan, The Wicked Witch, The Evil Queen and her magic Mirror. They held my interest the most to keep watching the show, it was not the actual corny Good Guys the show revolved around. Somewhere along the line, Mirror’s character got a little too downplayed to where he completely disappeared without further storyline. Rumpel had all the answers and though a prisoner at times, he held the power. Peter Pan had an interesting back story being Rumpel’s Dad and we got to see Rumpel be outwitted at times, because “Pan never fails”, until the Writers messed up his story and he became this diminished character in Hades, which was stupid. It would have been interesting if instead they wrote where Pan was The Wicked Witch’s son, because that looked right. Instead we learn the Wicked Witch, Zelena was a bastard child of a love interest gone wrong and cast aside in another dimension, and that she’s the half-sister of the Evil Queen, Regina. Both Zelena & Regina’s characters should have remained as they were throughout the tale on The Dark Side with Rumpel and Pan, but instead this idea of soul-saving & redemption went so overboard that the show got insipid, and I mean boring to the point of multiple endings of the show until it FINALLY ENDED.

 

SCANDAL

One feature I actually liked about the show was the sound of a camera shot, play alongside the case of day. That was classic. It gave this modern show an iconic feel. It started off great, until the storyline got stupid. It became a dumb racial mistress Stereotype that isn’t really true. I don’t blame Black Men for dissing the show and it makes no sense why its Black Writer Shonda Rhimes would wallow in such an insipid storyline. In real life most successful Black Women don’t live that way. Unlike the main character Olivia Pope, many Black females would have kept dating, or continue their marriage with that educated and successful Black Ken doll. They wouldn’t be seeing some spoiled Ivy League White guy and have the relationship escalate socially into a tawdry mess. Most people of color when they date outside of their race for some reason, it’s THEM who break it off with that White person after configuring in their ethnic mind why they don’t want to deal with them and the situation anymore. And sometimes that works out well, other times it develops on the White person’s part into an emotional stalking event. Even I experienced that a couple times and thought, it was easier breaking up with the Black, Hispanic and Asian Dudes. They know when something is over so they don’t grow this weird emotional attachment to you. I’ve heard cases with some Black men complaining about breaking up with “Becky” and the drama behind it. Now “Sisters” aren’t going to waste time, the shit is over and they move on. So ‘Scandal’ was a TV show that didn’t make sense to Black Women that are Conscious. I also didn’t like the depiction of Millie, the First Lady, declining her to a “White Trash” status at times. The show was all over the place with trying to show all facets of the racial disparagement in America that it started to look weird. I mean really…. Were things that odd? There were better personal areas to attack like the hypocrisy of Black people. The only things I appreciated in the show were the strong current event topics, the government cover up stuff, the secret agent activities, the twist plot and impacting monologues. The only character I liked very much throughout the show was the “bad guy” Papa Pope. He was a Strong Black Man who was in charge, clever, stern when he needed to be, and when finally tried by the powers that be, he extricated himself from THEIR control and turned the tables on them. And ofcourse, the only person in my mind that made sense to expose the whole thing in the end at trial WAS HIM. And Oh, the only other character I really liked was Huck. I mean come on, he was a genius. Though he had some issues he was your standard hero, reliable and tough. And lastly, Cyrus. It would have helped if the Writers just wrote his character as a normal guy given his background rather than injecting a weird gay storyline that didn’t fit. Anyway, I liked how he operated in The Oval Office, the difficult decisions he had to make to protect the President, whom he saw like a son, and secure the welfare of the Country. Some elements of the show we could have done without along its run, but it did end in an okay fashion.

 

QUANTICO

Last Aired: 8/3/2018

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0s97gAW4V941imZTFUebJA

This show should have BEEN Cancelled the prior season but it dragged on. The series started off great with all the FBI training stuff, but after their first few cases, things got sketchy. They lost their audience with a boring storyline in the follow up season. Though I tried watching to see where everything would lead, I eventually lost interest in it and clicked off to different channels. What made me come back was when they casted the actor Blair Underwood in it. When the show finally CAME ALIVE to me was in the very last season when someone got the bright idea to write in a new Super Villain, an Irishman named Conor Devlin. Now he was SOMETHING! He was on in the final 5-weeks of the show and I couldn’t wait to see him. He was exactly what the show needed from Season 2, an elusive re-occurring bad guy. I guess it was already too late for the Network to want to renew the show because they ended up killing his character, which I didn’t appreciate. Where could the show have gone had they kept it? Well…… since they already showed the training process, terrorist cases, the agent setup with Alex, who’s the main character of the show, & her being recruited by other secret agents for other cases, why not explore other issues with that kind of life. The show might have stretched on to a Season 6 instead of only 3 Seasons, because it should have been cancelled after the Second Season. There are Agents who turn Rogue for a reason and are living an interesting life, and that story should be told. Also, what about those FBI Agents who abuse their power in pursuit of a so-called criminal? There are stock pile cases of that. And what about real life corruption cases with the Feds? There were so many things they could have done including showing their failure at times. Cases don’t always work out well, and they could have shown another side of Law Enforcement where people, situations, & things could get mis-interpreted and they fuck up their case. That happens A LOT, which is why you only hear and see the successful cases they are proud of. A lot of the training shown is plausible, but certain things wouldn’t work, especially if they’re applying what would usually work with Caucasian Criminals on Ethnic Ones. There are real live cases where that shit don’t work. Ethnics look at things differently. And with the word Ethnic, don’t limit your thinking to just Hispanics, Blacks, Asians & Indians. Include some Jews, Irish, Greeks, Italians & the like where these crime cases are concerned because many of them I’ve viewed, had their Ethnic instinct about something correct, BUT went against it & got caught. One popular mob case was Donnie Brasco, the undercover cop still in hiding today. I’ve had the pleasure of viewing certain broadcasted criminal cases where Ethnics who knew better, “sensed something” followed their instincts and that Fed wasted his time. Now, I could go on & on about what the undercover agents are doing wrong out here. Many of them are bad actors or just too obvious. Then there are those cases where the Federal Agent messes up bad, real life cases the Quantico TV show could have depicted. Sometimes The Feds prosecute & incarcerate their own in high maximum security prisons specially designed to hold them. The Writers of that show should have explored all options moving forward, because I wouldn’t have had a problem writing episodes. Hollywood however, has their little prejudiced clique selection process, so it’s better just keeping your ideas & present them at a time when everything is right. So we went through most of 2019 not missing Quantico, especially with other TV shows on competing Networks having better content.

Ex-VP, Joe Biden’s Mistake Not To Assume Power Then

Rick Derringer ~ ‘Real American’

Seditio Civium Hostium Est Occasio  😡 Sedition of the Citizens is an Opportunity for the Enemy

OMG, why run now? So my criticism goes all the way back to when Barack Obama ran for Presidency in 2010 and chose then Senator, Joe Biden as his Vice President. At the time, my instincts found that choice questionable. I was expecting someone that made more sense, and not Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. And since people were celebrating it as a successful ticket, I kept my fingers crossed and hoped no problem came of it. Race-Readers were seeing Obama’s move in choosing Biden as a cover, since it would calm down racial tensions if they saw a white male there with him. Somewhere in my head I didn’t think he needed him. Now look, about 6-8 years towards the end of the Obama Administration, I’m seeing my suspicions about Biden were right. The time to run for President was right under Barack to win the succession of power. That’s how it’s done. Only somebody better at the time could beat you. When I saw this ridiculous campaign going along to setup Hillary as the 2016 Candidate, THAT was questionable. It wasn’t necessary. She was there before. That was a problem for many Voters. And before you say, the Russians would have made Trump win anyway, entertain this, were they interfering before? When they saw a circus in your politics and thought about it, THAT was an opportunity to fuck with it. Had the system went the way it should, Russian interference wouldn’t have happened. I blame Joe Biden for all that went wrong and still, with our politics now. His excuse at the time was his dead son, personal/familial issues and so on. Hmmm……. In ancient times if you were Caesar, a Greek Ruler, Pharoah, Asian Emperor, or other Leader, and you were dealing with treachery all around you and death of those close to you, you got your act together and fight back and maintain your kingdom. So I’m thinking the real reason here is to separate himself from Obama and his policies, especially when he went a few weeks ago to tell his ‘friend’ publicly to not endorse him so he can win it on his own. I knew this guy was suspect and to this day many people are still absorbing his bullshit. So now, he expects to win against other capable Democrats, and succeed over an already sitting President. Why this puts him where he was before Obama in the wee political past when he lost running on his own. His best chance was a VP ascending to the corporate throne right after Obama like the Republicans did in the past, but that little mistake showed me how dumb Democrats are, because you had the helm and you let feminism and other stupidness get in the way of something practical. That’s why you see the rattiness and teamwork of Republicans winning seats in the Judiciary branch, and the Senate, and watch them recover the House of Representatives again, because they are not playing with ya’ll. YES, there are problems with them ‘handling’ Trump from the get go, BUT they’re in power now. Do you really think they are just going to give that up? All they have to do, is deal with a Motherfucker, and quickly work to re-instate Republican policies and derail/dismantle Democratic values. WHY??? WELL, somebody name Joe Biden could have stopped it, but failed to do a critical move at the time that would have kept all this shit we’re seeing right now at bay. Had Russia seen a normalcy, an interest in pimping a Candidate would not have been there. Now the Ex-Vice President, so-called forerunner, is openly being attacked, disrespected by fellow Democrats and they have a right to. He got in it with Cory Booker and Kamala Harris over the race thing both times in recent debates. Hmmm, is a circus happening again? I don’t blame Trump behaving the way he is. He’s doing the right Republican move. Oh, I’m up here as President of the United States of America. See me make a trip overseas talking to Dignitaries, other World Leaders and so on. Who are you? I’m not worried! He can keep doing that. If you Democrats don’t get it together, you’re gonna lose.

The Cosby Thing…….

He shouldn’t have done it! I don’t believe every last accusation is true, but there is something to it. The whole thing is odd though. While all this was going on, I held off from formerly posting on this until the
legal process was over & see the aftermath. I had my opinions about the case of course, I felt back then that since they (The Establishment) were holding on to it still, they wanted him done! What happened here (Real Talk), is that Bill Cosby got off his own track. Let’s go way back…….this guy was known in the 60s for his educational lectures on TV, THAT is what I remember him for the most. The information, the teaching is what I feel “THEY” had to get him for. You could smoke screen it with the conspiracy theories thinking he was politically taken out for wanting to own a major TV network, NBC, but really? Okay, if he was just a chuck full of fun with Fat Albert, The Cosby Family, Jello Pudding & stuff, it wouldn’t be a threat “allowing” him to own a network, BUT, if you are spiritually, racially, politically or culturally CONSCIOUS, maybe THAT is the real reason why “THEY” don’t want you shaking up the status quo using “THEIR” global resource. Where Bill Cosby went wrong was allowing himself to be too seduced by the Hollywood lifestyle that it royally messed him up. You can’t be out there with an agenda like that, then fall back & let The System get you. If you look at some of these accusations, you might conclude that it was a saved plot from the beginning. You know, to get this guy later on in his career, they just set up some people along the way & quietly kept the evidence. Well, what about others, especially the non-Black ones who lived the same lifestyle? These accusations only seem to come out at critical times when the actor is about to do something. No real court case involved, no cross-examinations, oh wait, to make it happen legally, they found the one old case file to go back on a legally binding word, unseal it, & use one statement they can twist to mean something. So an entire legal process played a role in Hollywood manipulation, why even the court system can be pimped to serve your purpose. What could his lawyers do? The court won’t take a logical argument. If you say you were raped by Cosby, why go back to him & take his money? Why are people claiming to have seen you with him after that date, hanging out in public, voluntarily going to his home, & you were supposedly his crime victim? Many of these accusations were debunked & the one case which did him in with accuser Andrea Constand was questionable too. If it was an old case many years before & she was paid off with certain info in the case sealed, why re-open it? It was already judged from that time when the case was fresh, but if you want to bury someone, you overlook a person’s civic legal rights in favor of prejudice & hate & make-up something you hope another bigoted party would fall for. AND WAIT FOR IT, since they got him on the charges now, he’s locked away…..end of story, right? Nah! Some new girl has popped up claiming when she was about 15 at the Playboy mansion, she got drunk after playing some pinball game with him there and he took her upstairs and raped her. Well that’s a busy place, what was she doing with a grown ass man like that at the time. The young innocent story makes no sense in a place like that. Why wasn’t she a rape victim before that situation since she seemed so naïve. Shouldn’t she have come out before the initial conviction with all the other women? The argument many of these women make is that he was so powerful at the time that no one would believe them. WOW! But they’ll believe you now? At no time in American history if you were a White female claiming a Black man raped you, your case would not be heard & taken seriously on flimsy evidence. It’s the same racial ugliness happening in Today’s time & I blame any of the so called ‘feminist’ Black females who partook in it for the sake of a pat on the head by Hollywood to help bring down this guy. What I blame him for was straying too far off track from his original purpose.  He clearly wanted to teach his people & there is so much more to say &  doing it on a major basic TV network with the right positive programing would have helped. I guess why THEY need this latest accuser coming out NOW after the fact as their last wild card to bury him, is because Cosby’s lawyers may have found some way to appeal the case in his favor or some other legal maneuvering to get him out. So we have more to see. It shows weakness on THEIR part fucking with him like that because Today’s Millennials don’t KNOW him like that & all they did was re-awaken interest into his past.
