WHERE DOES DYSFUNCTION BEGIN?
James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
We live in a time where there is
a need of someone to care, or,
of someone to cry out to, as
many people, in the 'game' of
romance, hunger and thirst for
a love centered relationship
in a self-centered world...
Which cause their tender passion to
fall into the dark abyss of
an 'institutionalized' reality, because,
the passion of companionship, that
riotous realm of lonely hearts full of
fear, blame, and sadness is why many
people enter relationships with some
kind of 'poverty'...
First and foremost, I am a dancer,
indistinguishable from the dance in
heaven and in supernatural flights of
grace; invulnerable to ego, and
invisible to self, yet,
I Am...
I have the sensitivity and compassion
to feel the pain of others, deepening
a sense of purpose and temperance
which represent achievement of
mental and moral health; accomplished
without the necessity of dying, for,
we are in a timeless state of grace
where there is no doubt, shame, or
grief...
Because, the quality of Principle,
Righteousness, and Truth is
a struggle, deep and deeper in
the soul, mind and body of
men and women who represent the
hidden person of the heart, yet,
think that open rebuke is better
than love carefully concealed, since,
many people encounter difficulty to
maintain faith and obedience to
follow the Word of God and the
Will of God...

THE BU$H LEGACY...
James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
"...Wars and Rumors of Wars..."
have become the 'war' of the
global community, via the 'War
on Terror'...
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the
'parallax view' is the 'Creed of
the New Millenium', and is fueled
by 'diverse' impressions and
opinions, as these impressions and
opinions appear to focus on
incumbency...
But, the bipartisanship in the
Hou$e of $pirit$ acclaim that a
soldier...are those who pray for
peace, but, train for war...
Who is the leadership of telling
lies to the American people? They
are the incumbents, and responsible
and accountable for the deadly
deceptions and manipulations?...
What passion, in the desert, motivate
the Devil'$ advocate$ to insist on the
$ecret$ and the lie$, and these lie$ do
not leave a trail of tears, yet,
the paradox of the parallax view
emphasizes there are many who can be
found in a lonely place, but, when is
this touch of evil the virtual reality
of a 'holy grail'?...
Passed throughout the global community,
yet, has power to enable behavior, for
and without, an act of conscience...

Graft...Acrimony...Segregation...
Peaceful Warrior
(Dedicated to the
residents of Tulia
Texas)
Dear Global Community,
You have fallen victim, because
of Iran, and veiled appearances
which include Bu$h $r.'$
unlawful entry of a $overeign,
but, it was in the line of fire,
since, he armed $addam Hu$$ein,
and now, who showed mercy?...
Concerning the non-violations of
Human Rights which are still of
human bondage, because of 'black
rain' in the $ahara, check the
trials of Henry Ki$$inger, and
M$. Rice'$ $ecret and, behold
in the 'realm of crimes and
misdemeanors', there is a
League of etraordinary gentlemen,
or, just a few good men, who
represent where the truth lies,
since, solution #9 could not have
been achieved, if not for that
'domestic disturbance' on 9-11
which was initiated by the 'freemasons
of a thirty-three and a third
degree', and for the persuasion of
the American people...
It comes from the 'dead pool' of
mice and men, who are the ghost
and the darkness behind $ecrecy
and Power, in the Hou$e of $ecret$,
and it is quite unfortunate that the
'casualties of war' have been
'redistricted', and fall in the
following areas; the ACLU, LULAC,
the NAACP, and "leave no child behind"...
Illegally yours,
The Guilty

Our Search For Significance...
James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
We feel a slight breeze,
It is the wind that
Shakes the barley, and
It is as if another's
Dream is our nightmare, and
Our nightmare is the other's
Dream, but, Love is spiritual and
Sensual...
Our image is, seemingly,
Important, merely, because
Our brother is an only
Child...
In the Mist of Darkness
Where is the compassion
For those who are left
On the Plains of Sweet Regret...
Where is the
Concept of Truth, in
Reference to the most
Basic of issues, and
A sense of discerning
Our I Am, perhaps,
To learn to apply
Inalienable truths which
Allow most of us
To get off the
Treadmill of Hopelessness...
Aspiring and inspiring, for
And with, love to live
In Christ, and set
Free to seek victory
Over carnal behavior and
Primal lusts which fulfill
The need of being born
Again...
In the Spirit, but,
Able to discern emotional
Pain and unrighteous motion...
Personally, I can feel
The deception, the lies, and
The manipulation about the
War on Communism, the War on
Drugs, the War on Terror, but,
What about the War on Poverty?

GOSSIP!...
James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
Garbled
Obfuscated
Self-seeking
Self-serving
Ignorance, and
Paranoia...
Opinions are expressed, but,
Their spirit confess
There is difficulty, because,
It is done with
Malice, guile, and hatred
(Matthew 15:8)...
The wages for their apprehension
Overgrow a forgiving heart
With weeds of bitterness, as
The stranger inside is seduced
By the evil of random hearts
With sexual deceit and soft intrigue,
Since, each embrace the darkness
Of their tacit touch, and...
From the Shadow of Doubt
They speak in strings,
Outside the State of Grace,
That whatever happens
Is their proof of life, but,...
While in the parallax view,
Question, what is
The object of desire?
It is usually...
Garbled. Obfuscated.
Self-seeking. Self-serving
Ignorance and Paranoia...

TO THE DAUGHTERS AND SONS OF THE PROMISE...
Peaceful Warrior
The Spirit compels me to focus on
Long away and far ago when
First and foremost, I was with God,
Long before He took me from my mother's womb
(II Timothy 1:3-12)...
Not the time He took me from the
Mist of Darkness, but, before the time
I was cast into my mother's womb
(II Timothy 2:1-13)...
Back when the object of my desire
Caused me to be called and chosen
To stand valiant in the Light of the Day
Star...
It was during the time man was quite
Inhumane to other men...
A time when men were not come into
The Mood of Compassion, for, nor, with
One another...
A time when their dissimilarities did not
Compel them to be, nor, become
More compassionate one to the other...
A time when there was not the
Poetry of Felicity...
It was a time of man's mysterious ways
In regard to his vanity which he called
The Politics of Character...
These politics lead to World War II, because,
Of the 'character' of man's vanity...
For example, Adolph Hitler 'operationally'
Defined these politics which later was called
The Holocaust...
An earlier example of these Politics of Vanity is
Known as Slavery and the Reconstruction...
Yet, the politics of such vain character
Ought to indicate that if you do not
Know your majesty, you cannot know
My majesty, and not knowing our majesty
We, you cannot know His Majesty (Psalms 106)...
After WWII, man's mysterious ways increased, as
Man switched from the Politics of Character to the
Politics of Personality...
According to the Politics of Personality, people
Are 'deceived' about being held responsible and
Accountable for their actions and behavior (see
DSM 4) which is based on the 'paradigm of addiction',
Yet, is connected to the U. $. Department of Education,
The U. $. Department of (criminal) Ju$t(ice)U$, and
'NIMH', the National Institute of Mental Health...
These politics are based on man's separation not
Only of the ethnic groups, but, include the separation
of Church and $tate...
The Politics of Personality focus is, primarily
On man's vanity; man's vanity heralds him
To alter the Constitution of the United $tate$
With 'vain' amendments, not to include God's
Promise to Abraham (Luke 24:49), nor
Christ's Resurrection (Philippians 3:11)...
These political interpretations, thus
Seal man's vanity to separation from the
Word of God, and from God specifically
Man's politics would advocate he govern by
The moralizing of Character Ethics and
Personality Ethics, as in 'peace' when there
Is not peace (Romans 3:17)...
Rather than by God's Principle and Truth, as
In those who are corrupt, be corrupt no more;
Those who lie, no more tell lies, nor, tarry in
The prescence of a liar...
For the vanity of man's 'politics of personality' would
Ask the question, "What is the gospel?"
(I Thessalonians 1:5 and Jeremiah 29:11)...
The 'politics of character' asks, "What is faith?"
(Hebrew 11:1)...

DISCIPLINE IN THE SCHOOL OF GOD
Mr. James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
What has happened comes from God, it is our opportunity for transformation and preservation of traditions and a 'different' status quo. What once held us back has no affect or effect anymore. We are the 'children of change' and we are about to deal with limitations and challenges, as it involves liberty and idealism. I feel this is manifested because of an 'unorthodox behavior', for and with, communication, dialogue, opportunities, harmony, and social responsibility. Today, 11.05.2008, I reflect on yesterday which was 11.04.2008, and think that was a "day God created for us to 'rejoice and be glad in it", and all eyes are on America. We are on the 'threshold' of our 'crossroads' to re-invent and reorganize our 'heads and hearts', for and with, 'affirmations'.
I have heard that the number 11 is an 'holy' number, so, I thought and thought, this is the 11th month, there just might be something about this 'holiness aspect'? On the 11th day of this the 11th month, it was 'veteran's day', and I am a Vietnam combat veteran. I felt that people, with 'differences and dissimilarities' are 'gathering together', like 'family', as this increase our 'individual' strength, for, our 'power' is magnified by the 'power of the community, the church; 'the whole is the sum total of its parts'. We are being blessed, we are blessed. What is the 'power' of a 'guiding force' which has led us to a 'shared vision', since, it is essential to keep the 'forces of unity' together steadily advancing to a 'common goal'. While on this 'sojourn' we 'expect the unexpected', because, gathered together we are more powerful and more vulnerable, yet, we do not lose our 'individual interest', 'of the greater good', in the crowd. We are in a 'deep state of sensitivity' striving for human interest in 'higher states' which propel us into the 'frontiers of consciousness, and we cannot control the outcome, as this is the ultimate test of each 'participant's integrity' to 'encompass a love for all via compassion, patience, and selflessness; there is sometimes 'solace of distraction'.
Affirmations. Most of us practice affirmations; as we are aware that by saying things, in the form of affirmations it solidifies the faith within, as this leads to 'manifestation'. "In the beginning there was the Word and the Word was with God, and God was the Word". The use of affirmations allow us to break old patterns and paradigms which create positive mental attitudes and combat any negative speak. I have felt and perceived signs from the 'cosmos', and know, we must maintain openness to perceive the sign and a willingness to act on the message and be thankful for it. What is non-attachment? Perhaps, we must be open to what is offered and possibly that life can be different or better than we imagined, for, it teaches us how to get out of our own way, and to stop limiting the outcomes of our dreams, goals, and wishes to our own limiting ideas.
God made 11.04.2008, a powerhouse which joined opposition between 'authoritative people and radical people' into 'children of change', a 'collective consciousness' empowered with creative power of imagination, inspiration, and energy which arouses our creative initiative allowing our goals, our dreams, and aligning all for the 'greater good'. We persevere, remain focused, and we are not distracted from our goal of Peace and Unity. We are adaptable, tactful, gentle and cautious. We must break through what has been holding us back; our transition is crucial and critical, eventhough, we are not 'Burlington Northern', but, I bet all of the American people, 'we can handle it'. Since, questions, answers, facts, and information are all likely to get complicated, and sometimes 'confusing', yet, we must be thankful for our positive influences. Social Responsibility is not only Paramount, but, Universal, as is Justice, Patience, Harmony, and Creativity.
We will double check our communications, as our inner voice will be fine tuned, and we are, so, guided by it. Our Father, Who art in Heaven, is asking us, the American people, to stand, despite and inspite, our differences and dissimilarities, because, our 'growth and maturity' involves us to understand, over understand, and discern our I Am. This is quite different from 'when kisses fall to the floor', and sometimes on the 'dance floor of politics'. And now, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is like a butterfly, elusive, yet, worth pursuing. While in the 'realm of my P.T. S. D.', I realized, I would experience, from life, 'conflict, confusion, chaos, and confoundedness', because, I, unlike others, felt that the number 13 as 'blessed', rather than a 'collective of people' viewing 13 as 'unlucky', as opposed to being blessed, and by sheer coincidence, the concensus is against me, because, of 'majority rule'. America, the world, and the global community, we are all in a 'sign of transformation' which marks our turning point in the 'process'.
In addition to harmony and inventiveness we are guided into an 'aspect' which facilitates easy change. This 'transition point' means it is crucial to take advantage of 'every' opportunity. Our 'spiritual journey' has to do with 'goodness' in human nature which 'extricates' greed, hatred, malice, and any other 'forms of self-absorption', for, we progress only when 'right-action' is taken without concern for reward, because, our 'awakening' is to our not being irresponsible to 'power, responsibility, good judgement, and financial rewards. We are 'agents' of passion, as it is our destiny to aspire, achieve, acquire, and inspire 'transformative change'.
We cannot go back, nor, change what has happened; so, we must move forward with a 'renewed head and heart' empowering us into a 'collective sense of direction and mindset of purpose'. Everyone is thankful, irritating, and erratic which makes it difficult for anyone to remain focused. I feel we must, deeply, connect with one another, despite and inspite of one another's differences and dissimilarities.
Profound issues are raised everyday, pushing and pulling us into intensity; this sets the tone for a 'collective investigation' of the unexplored 'shadows of our minds', for some this is very difficult territory, yet, the key is to form a 'cooperative' which allows all participants to maintain a healthy perspective, especially with 'unsolvable mysteries', like, "what about the economy?" We are peaceful courageous warriors, and ready for 'righteous action'. We enter the White House imaginative and must soften judgemental feelings and open us to compassion. We now need to purposely seek to connect, instead of separating ourselves from others. We are in a 'healing state' which helps to put us in touch with being vulnerable and creates potential for 'intimacy' when we push through fears.
We enter Washington, D. C. in our 4th house of $ecurity and the 7th house of partnership, and can participate whether it is viewed an adventure or a misadventure, for, we cannot afford to misinterpret anything, since, 'holding together' carries us to victory, increase, and abundance. Our 'relationships' with one another create our 'chemistry of shared vision', experiences, and commonalities, as we all must be willing to subordinate our individual desires for the good of the United States of America. Temperance is what we manifest, as it is time for self-healing. Temperance here is for self-control and to be at peace; 'our adversity is a mirror that reveal one's true self. We are pressured with ongoing tension between 'progressive thinking' and the fear that we cannot go back to our 'comfortable repressive past'. How do we talk about our feelings without being attached; the Scripture speaks of it as, "be a part of it, but, not in it; be in it, but, not a part of it". We can embark on a 'spiritual journey', now, and as pioneers we move boldly forward whether we know where we are going or not. We are blessed with 'unyielding support and optimism encouraging confidence and vision'.
What would it be like to 'tap' the wisdom of our dreams? We are 'challenged' by 'high spirits' where we enter into intense emotions of ourselves to deal with that we do not understand. Sleep allows us to enter a 'passionate state' which acknowledges the power beyond words. Could it be that dreams give insight, guidance, advice, dream/fantasy, creativity and esteem. It may be unsettling for some to believe that thoughts can dominate feelings, but, experience offers proof that they do not. My, your, our dream 'suggests' that the 'messenger' awakens the warrior enabling us to communicate, dialogue, feelings in a combative way. We are able to imagine and we move beyond words and are immersed in our dreams. We have capcity for 'active imagination' enabling the vision of our inner journey, yet, it is still an individual task to transform the most 'spiritual' vision into something real.
The underlying tension we feel does not have to be negative, yet, suppressing emotions very often increase apprehension, and most people are unable to affect 'intelligent strategies' which enable them to speak about their feelings without being attached; but, by doing so it allows them to grow closer without placing others, or ourselves in an awkward position for having to 'react' in any (un) certain manner. Our 'overview' is a time of composure and comtemplation, it is like a 'hidden force' which emanates from us, influencing others without their awareness; we must not underestimate the 'power' of this force, for, our ability to 'be still', and observe, deepens our resolve, and attracts 'good fortune'. We must 'discern' the differences between what is deep and what is surface within one's self and the outer world.
The (D)evil steadily strives to impede our transcending 'personality, family, community, and our reputation, but, our soul responds to 'celestial influence' which provides us with a stronger 'sense of purpose' and helps us remember our 'exalted origin' and our attraction to a Higher Union. We are consciously on our way home, in a 'spiritual sense'. We are feeling more serious, more contemplative, and exercise patience with everything and every one, as we 'expect' good news and are 'happy' for no reason. We must find honest ways to express ourselves without losing our temper. We do this via 'enthusiasm'; this form of energy is like powerful music which inspires a great number of people and loosens old constraints, yet, generate new opportunities. The 'power of enthusiasm' is best symbolized by 'music and dance', but, is guided more by the heart than by the head.
We arouse 'passionate support' of others who adjust their ideas and plans to suit our overall need. We dare to create an environment which is free of tension, since, by taking joy in our tasks we harness the 'power of song and dance' (i.e. 'the dance of the butterfly'). It is God's Will, and we are consciously on our way home, in a spiritual sense.
THE ART OF WAR
CONSCIENCE vs. LOYALTY:
Just because I am alone does not mean that Love has turned her back on me; for, I am bruised, but, not broken- James Edward Johnson, Peaceful Warrior
Most of the deception, the lies, and the manipulation seems to have begun, in earnest, with the Ronald Reagan/ George Bush Sr. incumbency, as then with R .Reagan, it was 'trickledown' and Bush Sr., it was 'newspeak', and then came 'new age, new world order', and "do this, but, say that; say that, but, do this". The War on Poverty is never directly 'championed', as it is usually called something else, and that 'something else' is perceived as a 'sojourn of emotion and motion', since, those who do not seek love, do so, because, they fear the loss of self in a close relationship, yet, focus on what is 'detrimental' to American society which is heartfelt and hurtful because this particular adversity make many willing participants in deception, lies, and manipulation.
What has happen to the War on Poverty? Did it cease after Richard Nixon's term and 'pardon', or because of his 'swine flu' fiasco, or because of his policy to put picket fenses, topped with barbed-wire, around apartment complexes that were, at the time, not called 'diverse', yet, were, but were actually 'labeled and stereotyped' as 'black-infested'. The 'high crimes', like 9-11, Bu$h Jr. style, cause us to live in the land of the blind, where the 'one eyed man is king', for, we have eyes, but, we cannot see, we have ears to hear, yet, we do not listen, to the end of life, which allows us to hold 'that' thought, since, sometimes to see 'light', one has to perceive the 'dark', since, 9-11 was & is intended to be an eye-opener, for the reality is, it was 'W's' cause, and access into the $urplu$ budget left by Clinton and Gore. It appears that Bush Jr. needed to 'operationally define' that it is easier to destroy than to create, yet, what is 'basic' is that we may be done with the past, (Jim Crow and $egregation) but, the past is not done with us, because, 'what was, affects, what is. "Change we can believe in" is a 'grassroots enterprise', it attracts 'creativity, constructiveness, and positivity', and this has to do with 'infidelity', between friends, neighbors, lovers, strangers, and the American people. Its 'manifestation' calls for 'a deeper love', unconditional, and is love practiced in the 'art of compromise', the only 'judgement' that 'liberates' each citizen, constituent, consumer, and any American person from conflict, confusion, chaos, and confoundedness, for, its 'metamorphasis' is not yet complete. We are 'misplaced' into an 'intense shadow of corruption' which challenge all 'social shifts of consciousness', and we must confront 'hidden issues and taboo topics', as a cleansing and healing experience for a 'change of heart' toward one another, to finally confront 'desegregation', because, miscegenation is the same as 'integration'.
Justice and Truth, where do they intersect? There are some who think it is the 'junction' for the 'Doctrine of Condescension', but, understand that it is a 'Sea of Mediocrity' found only at the 'hard edge of reality', which, like the Bu$h $r./Jr. admini$trations, does not take care of those who are less fortunate; i.e. the American people. While on the 'Isle of Execellence, we find ourselves 'Speared by a Shaft of Inspiration', for, we are struggling to find a path which allows us to 'do the right thing' and still know our needs without being so quick to 'depersonalize' our feelings, by knowing who I, you, we are and what we do is, now, important for a 'crosscultural' relationship, as in miscegenation. Today finds many of us in the midst of 'mixed' messages and strive to discern 'who' is the 'champion' for the widow, the orphan, the stranger, the fatherless, the oppressed, and the poor? In the pursuit of the 'American Dream', for some; because, for the past seven or so years, the Bu$h admini$tration and the 'Republic of Cheney' have shown the American people, "not on my watch", and there are no fund$ for the War on Poverty in the War on Terror; America! are you 'terrified' yet? $ince, most Americans are 'labeled and $tereotyped' as Democrats and Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals, Red vs. Blue, but, the most 'effective' controversial 'didactic relationship' is the Have$ vs. the Have Not$.
The tax rebate, the tax cut, and the 'stimilus payment' should be put into perspectivie, they are all a part of an 'axis of appeasement'. Something to quiet the 'surface noise' that is yelling "Recession", and the downside is the '$tate of the Economy'. Most of the 'participants' of this 'war crime' are members of the 'Bu$h admini$tration in the Republic of Cheney', and none of them are in the 'hall of $hame', since anyone infringing on their path to money is the only thing which will cause them to express their 'intense passions'. One of the 'paradoxes of life' is for the American people to look for opportunities to be generous, warm, and nurturing, but, only with Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. Human interest in 'higher states' propels us to the 'frontiers of consciousness', where we cannot always control what happens, yet, some of us have 'provoked to jealousy an image of jealousy', it becomes a 'time of vulnerability', 'juxtaposition of reality and actuality' which enables us to face 'fears of personal intimacy', miscegenation or not.
There are some of us who may feel sheltered from this 'madness', as we work to rise above and 'liberate' ourselves from 'limiting influences'. We must choose and decide to put 'our house in order', because, 'lies of vanity' and 'shadows of evil' have provoked to jealousy, an image of jealousy. Much of it comes from 'education reform', some from healthcare reform, welfare reform, not to exclude 'redistricting' and the illegal immigrant. Times are tough right now, as there are plenty of people who have a hard time getting by on what they have, and these 'hardtimes' will continue until this 'crisis' is over, or there is a 'regime change'. Most of us have kept our wits, yet, this occurs because each person feel they are the only one who still have a firm grip on reality, as each feel their 'superior intelligence' level is the reason they are not swept up in the present 'crowd mentality' which concerns Loyalty vs. Conscience or, Righteousness vs. Unrighteousness. The 'cosmos', Paramount or Universal, seems to be 'telling' us something by tumbling 'some American homeowners' into the unknown, like, the fires in CA., the 'housing/mortgage corruption' throughout America, and the 'floods and tornados' in 'midwest' America. "As it is 'above', so, it is 'below'; 'as it is' below, so, 'it is' above"; the 'displaced' misplaced Americans are experiencing what the 'misplaced' displaced Americans endure from 'homelessness, shelters, and being destitute'.
Behold! Citizens, Consumers, and Constituents, and stand, understand, over understand, and then discern that 'overseer' is not that dissimilar from 'officer', since, the part of the 'overseer's duties were to 'serve and protect', during $lavery, as the same 'creed' is that of the 'officer' of here and now! The '$tatu$ quo', better known as 'freemasons of the thirty-third and a third degree', is constantly striving to 'engrain' whatever 'addiction' onto the citizen, consumer, and constituent, you, the American people, especially African Americans and people of color. This is manifested via being 'sifted, tracked, marginalized, and disenfranchised', either into the Armed Forces, or more consistently, into the Prison-Industrial Complex, since, this is an avenue for 'revenue'. Some forms of addiction, like 'labels and stereotypes' are more and more effective and come with contingencies, in regards to addiction being 'amenable to treatment', yet, is somewhat 'paramount' (Paramount) or 'universal' (Universal) as 'social' forms of public relations or 'media saturation' about the person or people involved, but, does not allow one to reflect on the covertness and subtlety of the misdirection, misinformation, and propaganda and the 'direction' of 'ethnic cleansing and racial profiling' which is no different from Adolph Hitler's solution or resolution for the Jews, yet, is not so obvious to the 'naked eye'.
JFK set the stage for America's 'closet of skeletons', yet, it was Howard Huges who initiated America's 'abrogation' of the War on Poverty which changed the focus and emphasis to 'temptation' by saying, "every man or woman has a 'price of profit", thus, this brought the 'lightbulb moment' to 'exterminate with extreme prejudice' JFK, RFK, Malcolm X, MLK, and the Black Panther Party, as these people and this group of African American males were doing for 'deprived and poverty-strickened' communities what America refused to do. And so, 'addiction', was implemented to extricate people of color from the Labor Force, since, addiction carried with it a felony or a felony conviction, and no one hires felons (not by chance, but, by 'design'). This means that a vast amount of people never become, nor are 'qualified' to be eligible to enter a college or university, for this 'methodical process' has been utilized 'systemically' and manifests as a 'state of deprivation' which means there is no way to the American Dream.
In the 'news', for example, in 1946: The concern, for and with, this endeavor is perceived and/or known as a ‘foreign unknown substance’ (floride) ingested by unsuspecting ‘testees’ (the American people) is ok & in the best interest of National $ecurity (LOL)! This was the 'first metamorphatic test' misplaced on citizens, consumers, constituents, and the American peopl; and American society was 'changed' from the 'Politics of Character and Character Ethics to the Politics of Personality and Personality Ethics'. Is it public knowledge that the 'mandatory compulsory education' mandate, in America is Constitutionally guilty of 'under educating' people of color, and have done so for generations. What 'under education' does is it 'targets' those who are to be 'sifted, tracked, marginalized, and disenfranchised', and are 'delegated and relegated' into a lifestyle of poverty, or a 'state of deprivation'; always struggling for 'financial empowerment and upward mobility', yet, never reaching the American Dream. The 2008 Presidential Campaign has brought into public view the 'issue of race', and that 'education reform' does nothing for the American people who are living in poverty or below the 'poverty line'.
Viewed from the 'parallax view' it is a 'bellicose and nefarious' point of view when the 'major targets' are 'systemically' kept in such a 'paradox' which usually benefit the '$tatu$ quo', and most Caucasians. After a while this struggle misplace many into complacency, despair, frustration, procrastination, disgust, disrespect, and a lack of sefl-esteem, which is 'construed' via philosophy, politics, socio-psychology, and theology to contribute, more and more, to people becoming volatile, hostile, and aggressive, in an 'acute' sense; remember 9-11 was 'freemason of the thirty-third and a third degree' endeavor. The 'reflection' is still, for and with, the War on Poverty. My 'catharsis' is of Tupac and a shared experience of oppre$$ion$ which concern 'mandatory compulsory education' and is the manifestation of 'under education' of people of color which does not exclude poor Caucasians, nor others of different ethnicity; then there are those who the 'sympathizers' for the 'cause' of white people, especially, those 'whites' who strive to stand valiant for Principle and Truth, since, their expressions are viewed as Passionate, but, for African Americans, or people of color, who express for the same reasons always are expressed as Anger and Rage, but, never as Passion.
Why are there so many 'natural' disasters? Is it because of our 'collective negative relationships'? What does miscegenation have to do with our inability to accept our respective differences and dissimilarities? Most people of color are constantly and consistently kept in a 'state of deprivation and poverty', so, what measure of 'ethnic cleansing and racial profiling' is this in the 'realm of Never Again'? 'Common ground' enables us to anticipate all 'changing climates', as it increases our sensitivity and allows us to trust our intuition, now, by opening our hearts and expanding our vision even in dialogue about 'abstract philosophical ideas', and to do it with deep passion and a deeper love for victory.
We are in a timeless 'state of grace' where there is no doubt, shame, or grief. Because of the jobless rate increasethere is more 'economic pain', and many more Americans are misplaced in a 'state of deprivation and poverty'. When will the United States of America become color blind? The time is now for self-healing.
The 'value of money' has brought our emotions into awareness, so, each individual must keep ego out of the way and become attuned to a more Spiritual view. Conscience vs. Loyalty for the American people, like the Dixie Chicks and the 'comment' made about Bu$h Jr., was the 'impetus' for their 'ostracization' and being 'label and stereotyped' as 'unAmerican and unpatriotic', and instigated the 'conflict, confusion, chaos, and confoundedness' we experience, here and now, in the 'form' of Race, Racism, and the Race for the White House' instead of how we are, as a 'people' being'bamboozled'. The Consolidated Media and Media Consolidation present to 'the American People' for, they are provoked to jealousy an image of jealousy', in the form of 'controversy', or to be more specific; "do you choose Life or Death, Blessing or Cursing, Righteousness or Unrighteousness"
So you know the Gap Band's famous song "You Dropped a Bomb on Me. The group is from Tulsa, Okla., where in 1921 white vigilantes looted and America's most prosperous black community. More than 300 people were killed, 1,200 homes and businesses destroyed, and 10,000 citizens displaced. Some have called it America's Holocaust. This can be construed as America's 'value of money'; jealousy and envy about people of color who had manifested what was then called 'the Black Wall Street! According to the 2008 Presidential Campaign, the people of any sovereign, in the sense of a 'global community', stand on 'common ground' as citizens, consumers, and constituents. Which seem to be saying the ' answers come from within us, and no one else! Each sovereign has a 'head of state', an 'authority', who practices misleading, misinformation, misname, misplacements, misinterpretations, misdirections misconceptions, Mishnahs, and miscegenations; "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.
Judgement and a deeper love results in freedom from inner conflicts, for, we must practice the 'art of compromise' for the 'change we can believe in', since, it is the 'grassroots enterprise', of the 'new metamorphasis' which is not yet complete. We must use the powers of our minds to focus our energy to combat the 'intense shadow' of racism for more creative, constructive, and positive 'social shifts of consciousness', and a deeper love for one another which include our differences and dissimilarities, ethnic or otherwise. Because, of unemployment and no jobless benefits, there is coming a day when there will be no marrying, as many people will be 'named' less, that is, jobless, homeless, and carless, and most degree'd women do not want such a man, nor a man such a woman! So, as a society of citizens, consumers, and constituents we must reinforce a sense of 'sovereignty' within one's self despite any self-limiting beliefs, habits, or appearances to the contrary, this gives each of us the wisdom and the authority to achieve 'collective' goals. According to the 'tradition' of 'guns, germs, and steel' we are where we are, because, of our 'collective' stand on Principle and Truth, like genocide, Jim Crow, Segregation, the Holocaust, and 'a right to exist'.
Some Hawk$ and Dove$ have $tated that we are a 'nation of whiners', even though they are responsible and accountable for our 'tumbling into the unknown', via 'unconscious racism and mental recession', and other 'psychological benefits', like unaffordable housing and mortgage corruption, rampant unemployment, an 'economic crisis' on a 'global' scale. At best we 'dream out loud' and are 'fortified with optimism', yet, wake up in 'a $tate of deprivation and poverty' somewhere in the North, East, West and $outh of America!

BIGOTRY, HYPOCRI$Y, AND RACI$M...
Mr. James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
BIGOTRY, HYPOCRI$Y, AND RACI$M...
Why is the 'consolidated media and the media consolidation', blatantly, bellicosely, and nefariously 'construing and misconstruing' that the loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are the 'main playas' in the Wall $treet Cri$i$ meltdown'? Yet, the AIG, Bear$tearn$, Lehman Brother$, Wachovia, and Morgan $tanley, etc. are not responsible and accountable?! Does it have anything to do with their 'greed and corruption', as they all knew who was 'eligible or not eligible' for loans, and knew that most, if not all, were not 'financially' capable to purchase such a home. Is this the 'new form' of 'redlining' and 'disenfranchisement' for the poor and 'people of color?
On the 'dance floor of politics' the American people are experiencing rising unemployment, no jobs, the Wall $treet Cri$i$ meltdown, and now, why is Acorn, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac being ostracized for what Bu$h Jr. and the Republic of Cheney are 'accountable and responsible? It is said that Acorn is committing voter registration fraud, and that Fannie & Freddie are the cause of the economic failings; how?; could it be because the 'lenders' are all connected to reap money from the people that are served by Acorn, Fannie, and Freddie; and, these people are citizens, consumers, constituents, and specifically, 'people of color' and African Americans who are, first and foremost, poor and, primarily, economically and financially disadvantaged.
Ms. Pelosi said it best when she stated at the 'beginning of the fall of wall street' that every thing that was occurring was 'directly' associated and connected to the Bu$h Jr. admini$tration and the Republic of Cheney; from hi$ 'war on terror' to the 'economic $trife' the American people are $uffering, 'here & now'. Yet, everything televised 'via' the 'consolidated media consolidation' is 'designed' to appear unbiased, fair, and balanced, this is hypocri$y at its best, because, most of the 'media' are 'playing the race card without playing the race card'. Now, when the American people are 'educated', more, about miscegenation, our problems begin to ease, since, many will have come to the realization of the wisdom in, "it takes a village".
"What is the Republican $ocial $tanding?" "Asks V. Berry, who states that the 'radical Republican rabble rousers' have declared war on Acorn (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now); and just what is this 'terriorist' organization called ACORN?" "It is the nation's largest community organization of low-and moderate income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities". "So, how does Acorn differ from any 'community organization' in the Metroplex that is negotiating a mineral rights lease for the community's neighborhoods?" "Now the only difference that is perceptible is that one is a community organization for the poor, economically deprived people, and the other is a community organization for the rich, property-owning people; therefore, as if 'we' did not know already, the Republican$ have declared war, specifically on people of color and generally on people of limited means, resources, and income". Is it true that the New York Times is in financial $traight$, because this 'institution' is being 'o$tracized', apparently, for comments for Obama and again$t McCain?
On the 'Dance Floor of Politics', in the War on Poverty, it is a fact the Acorn, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac were around and doing what they do (assist the poor and the economically deprived citizens, consumers, and constituents) even during both of Bu$h Jr.'$ first and second terms, but, these community organizations were not 'attacked' then; why now?, perhaps, because, it is obvious that McCain/Palin and the 'consolidated media and media consolidation' folk are utilizing 'covert subtleties' and an assumption that 'those' people of color will vote for Obama just because he is Black? And what better way to 'sabotage and subterfuge' their votes by attacking their 'credibility'; eventhough, these 'predator lenders' knew the people could not afford the loan when the predators placed each 'potential homeowner' into an 'adjustable rate', rather than a 'fixed rate'; and knew full well that once the rates increased the borrowers would have to default on their mortage, yet, 'greed and corruption' would win, as they 'parlayed' these purchases into 'groups', so the groups would appear as a$$et$ to many others; "whatever one does in unrighteousness, one cannot and will not pro$per, and especially when it is 'blatant, bellicose, and nefarious, toward a 'specific ethnicity or ethnic people', it just might affect and effect the whole United $tate$, as it did in the 'Wall $treet meltdown'!"
Was it by 'chance' or 'design' that ‘floride and fluoridation’ was began in 1946, and $everal years after it was introduced into the social lives of the ‘American People’, the people were finally informed it had begun. The concern, for and with, this endeavor is perceived and/or known as a ‘foreign unknown substance’ ingested by unsuspecting ‘testees’ (the American people) is ok & in the best interest of National $ecurity (LOL)!!! The above mentioned, 1946 'phenomenon' is true and real; and about 14-15years later we are asked to let our 'skeletons out of the closet' via NIMH, and 'NIMH' was facilitated; NIMH is the National Institute of Mental Health, it also, was the beginning of 'strategic ambiguity' and 'exterminate with extreme prejudice' (ie JFK, MLK, RK, Malcolm X, New York's twin towers, the Black Panther Party, ect.).

TODAY'S POLITICS...
Mr. James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS:
Justice where has it been since the 1920s to ‘here and now’? The ‘$tatu$ quo’ puts a lot of focus on ‘race’ and ‘ethnicity’, perhaps the ‘endgame’ has to do with ‘$trategic ambiguity’, or the way the Native American people stated it, “white man speaks with forked tongue”. President Reagan and Bu$h $r. called it ‘newspeak’, that is “say this, but do that, do this, but, say that”.
Citizens, consumers, and constituents are caught up in a ‘process of indoctrination’ that flows into a ‘rut’ of ‘trickledown’ and ‘new age, new world order’, and according to a ‘global economy’ of the ‘global community’ and the ‘war on terror’. It seems that the ‘oppressed’, the poor, Latinos and African Americans, and other peoples’ of color unwittingly get ‘caught up’ in the ‘criminal justice system’, yet, are not in the situation by ‘chance’, but, by ‘de$ign’; and disenfranchised. It seems that ‘chance and de$ign’ have become ‘part and parcel’ for those ‘channeled’ into joining the Armed Forces; for a consistent paycheck, as the majority of these are those who are ‘extricated’ from upward mobility and economic enhancement; and are disenfranchised from colleges and universities.
Many people of the ‘global community’ are quite vexed, in regards of what truly, ‘democracy’ is, as some say that the ‘democracy’, of ‘here and now’, is in actuality in the ‘guise’ of ‘patriotism’, ‘freedom’, or ‘peace’, but, not liberty which when manifested is definitely not ‘democracy’. So, what is truly being expressed is the loss offreedom, patriotism, and liberty, since the ‘rhetoric’ is about democracy; thus, it is this administrations’ abrogation of the ‘War on Poverty’, since the ‘issues’ utilized to facilitate the manifestations of this ‘regime change’ have to do with ethics, morals, principles, honesty, truth, and the actions and behavior which embellish the lies and the ‘true lies’ that instigate any and every thing which contributes to ‘envy, jealousy, strife, and division’, and the dissimilarities of the ‘diversity’ of many peoples.
The Scriptures indicate that God is redeeming the oppressed, the widows, the homeless, the orphans, the needy, and the poor, so what is meant by the ‘disappearance’ of the ‘middle-class’; are they being relegated to the level of the ‘working poor’, or, are they those who are, here and now, below the ‘standard poverty level’?
It is well known, and prior information that education, employment, welfare, and healthcare are the reoccurring paths for upward mobility and financial enhancement in ‘our’ sojourn toward the America Dream, yet, more and more ‘people of color’ and African American men and women are ‘disenfranchised’ from colleges and universities, but, are ‘channeled’ into the Armed Forces and/or the Prison-Industrial Complex, and are ‘labeled and stereotyped with felonies and multiple felonies which does their communitys' no good, since, many and most cannot vote. The ‘pattern’ appears to not only be by design, but a ‘campaign’ to keep people of color in a specific place of this ‘class and caste system’.
In the ‘war on poverty’, money has become the ‘idol’ of the ‘global market’ and ‘global community’. This environment does not ‘edify, exalt, exhort, nor encourage the ‘working poor, the poor, the orphans, or the widows, yet, most do what they can, and most do it in Righteousness rather than Unrighteousness. Perhaps, this occurs from the ‘defined’ affect and effect of the ‘separation of Church and State’. This ‘strategic ambiguity’ does nothing for the challenge to empower those who the global consensus know do not have money or any ‘eco-resources’ to bargain with. My feeling is that when Church and State change the ‘bellicose and nefarious’ attitude held toward the widows, the orphans, the oppressed, and the poor, this will be the beginning of ‘true democracy’, as this ‘present faith', and commitment does not reflect the precepts to the Doctrine of Jesus Christ.
But, what happened to the oil from Iraq that was ‘assumed’ to be more than enough to pay for this war? Where has the money gone? All that has been previously stated is ‘pale’ next to the fact and truth of ‘racism in America’; and especially in the Armed Forces or the ‘military-industrial complex’.
I seek justice in this matter, and ‘compensation’ for this sergeants’ blatant, bellicose, and nefarious deed. I am quite sure that there are many more veterans who were ‘slighted’ in the same manner; it would be the ones who joined the Armed Forces within the same time period as I, and especially and specifically those who were stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana for Basic Training and Advance Infantry Training (TigerLand). These would be those who were denied the‘promised contract papers’. I suppose it vexed the recruiting sergeant (who signed my DD214) that I, as others, acquired and achieved high scores on all of the tests requirements.
EMPHATICALLY,

THE WAR ON POVERTY...
Mr. James Edward Johnson
God asked the question, "why are they so inhumane to one another; and then they always ask for My Help; and I send my sages, apostles, soothesayers, diciples; I, even sent My Son; who else can I send?" And for some reason, I, James Edward Johnson, responded, "send me". The next thing I knew, I was upside down, with bright lights blinding my eyes, and someone slapping me on my butt. It was a Sunday, about 2:30 am, on December 19th, 1948. I was born. On May 14th, 1948, Israel was made a $tate, as it was after WWII and the Holocaust, yet, there was Apartheid in Africa and Austrailia; whatever was going on in America, was called Jim Crow and $egregation, and practiced as the 'law of the land' in 'sifting, tracking, and marginalizing' African Americans and other 'peoples' of color'. My birth came many generations after the 'Birth of a Nation", and it did not take 'mandatory compulsory education' to make me aware that I was the 'Invisible Man', as those who were already here.
Their ''words, radiating 'peace of mind' in the 'hidden stillness' perpetuated by the 'Politics of Fear'; meanwhile, 'back at the ranch'; the 'American people' are kept in a '$tate of Indeci$ion' which have many Citizens, Consumers, and Constituents 'looking back in anger', as the Hawk$ and Dove$ offer 'darkness and fear' to all who have 'grown and matured' in the metamorphasis of the 'age of love'; we, know to "make love, not war"; unless it is the War on Poverty.

RELATIONSHIPS TO MY BIRTH...
Mr. James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
The Spirit compels me to focus on long away, and far ago, when first and foremost, I was with God.
It was long before He took me from my mother’s womb.
It was back when before women had wings, and, the object of my desire, caused me to be called and chosen.
It was during the time when men were quite inhumane toward each
other, it was a time when men were not, into the Mood of Compassion, for or with, one another.
A time when dissimilarities did not compel them to be, nor to become more compassionate one to the other, a time when there was not the Poetry of Felicity.
God has been replaced with an apostrophe (when Jesus was asked, “who sent you”, He replied, “I AM sent Me”; so, this means we are all I AM, yet, because of man’s vanity, man has changed I AM to I’m), and thus, God was taken out!
Man’s politics would advocate that man govern by the ‘moralizing’ of ‘Character Ethics, and of Personality Ethics’. I advocate for widows, orphans, the poor, the oppressed, the occupied, and those of us who have been called and chosen to 'fix what others have broken'.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
01.28.2000
Mr. James Edward Johnson
IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
There is no vexation with the following ‘ladies’, in the ‘realm of mis’, as they are somewhat mysterious and full of intrigue; for, they come in a variety of characters, personalities, and are full of confusion, since, they come in no specific order of application. In most cases they imply ‘relationships’, ‘paradox’, and present a ‘parallax view’ of circumstances, events, and situations. Their action & behavior express ‘intent & motive’, responsibility & accountability, they are able to solicit jealousy, envy, strife, and division; they imply hatred, guile, and malice; their ‘primary skills’ are deceit, lies, and manipulation, and their feelings are ‘blatant’, ‘bellicose’ and ‘nefarious’.
‘Here you, I, we stand in the middle of nowhere,
Aware whether or not I, you, we should care.’
Unlike others I do not play at manifesting the ‘spirit of growth & maturity’, and, I Am still a sinner, since, we all are ‘estranged’ from God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit; yet, the difference between others and myself is, I continue to put God first, no matter my catharsis to unrighteousness. The vanity of our mis-worship mis-move our politics and cause many to become miscible in misdeed. The predicament becomes the bifurcation of reality, as in ‘the parallax view’ or, in $tategic ambiguity’. What about those who have the capacity to overcome hatred, guile, intolerance, and malice consistently, are they not the Children of God? and those who do not are they not the Children of $atan? The more we choose Life and Blessing when we are trespassed against, the more we continue on the Path of our Redemption and Salvation, and the more we ‘grow and mature’ in the Word and the Will of God. My belief is that even though I Am a sinner, just like all of you other sinners, the difference between you all and myself is that my sinning is without ulterior motives and intent, as in ‘righteousness’ not ‘unrighteousness’, yet, I Am still a sinner!

BABYLON: LIFE ACCORDING TO SION/ZION?!
LIFE ACCORDING TO $ION/ZION?
In Babylon, life i$ according to $ion/Zion, a$ many $ay that “hone$ty i$ not $ymonyou$ with the truth”, nor i$ the “truth $ymonyou$ with hone$ty”; therefore, WE mu$t cultivate the heart, the mentality, and the attitude of a warrior, $ince, knowledge and it$ proper u$e win$ battle$, becau$e, any unrighteousne$$ i$ a $in.
In Babylon the pre$ident and the vice-pre$ident of the pre$ent admini$tration are 'not in it' for the money, but, for that paper with mo$tly dead pre$ident$ on it. The$e pre$ident$, pre$ent and vice, have been 'cau$ing' lie$, $ecret lie$, plu$ 900 $omething lie$, like the people of Iraq do not pay for their circum$tance, their $ituation, a$ they re$ide in a $trategic ambigou$ $ociety; and it$ citizen$ have $tated that, "why $hould 'they' pay when the pre$ident of the United $tate$ want$ to pay for it; yet, who really pay$ for 'war on terror'?
In Babylon there is pain, suffering, and death: The pain is directly connected to the abrogation of the War on Poverty: The suffering is from $ubjugation, oppre$$ion, genocide, hunger, healthcare, unemployment, ‘out $ourcing’ American job$ to poor countrie$, unaffordable hou$ing, and under education; it affect$ the mo$t people, for the greate$t good, over the longe$t period of time: The death i$ a long lingering death, it come$ in the form of lie$, $ecret lie$, and true lie$.
In Babylon, there are $ome who 'theorize' that freema$on$, like tho$e mi$ogynou$ '$kull and Bone$' fellow$, are re$pon$ible for the debt the 'war on terror' ha$ co$t. Did Mr$. Bu$h $r.$tart thi$ war by complaining that the women of the Middle Ea$t need democracy? Does the 'coupling' of Clinton and Obama, or vice versa, qualify as a slam-dunk for the White House? Are they a 'threat' to the $tatu$ quo? What was meant by Lyndon B. Johnson' s statement, "America mu$t$ accept and embrace mi$cegenation". Are you a part of the $olution or a part of the problem? In it$ war on terror, does America have 'raci$m' in 2008: Race and the race? How has the over use of the 'all voluntary' Armed Force affected or mi$affected tho$e we claim to $upport?
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a Vietnam combat veteran, and I strive to cultivate the heart, the mentality, and the attitude of a ‘warrior’ (even though I have PTSD), as it seems to be something engrained in me. For most African American men and women, our path to the American Dream is habitually sabotaged, subterfuged, and sometimes via an illegal path to economic empowerment and/or financial upward mobility. But, the illegality here is what was done to me when I joined the Army on July 11th, 1965.
Years before I decided to sign up, I was struggling with unemployment or dead end jobs. It was as if, I was in a ‘maze’, and the only avenue toward a consistent paycheck, or upward mobility was to enlist in one of the Armed Forces. My attitude was somewhat ‘schizophrenic’, as my thoughts about the endeavor was, like a Huckleberry Finn/Tom Sawyer adventure, but, what I encountered was a ‘rude awakening’ to the ‘realities’ of Jim Crow and Segregation, the Job Corps, and the Civil Rights Movement. I experienced many episodes of ‘racial injustices’, as if it was my personal ‘sojourn’ to endure many blatant violations of my Constitutional Rights, Human Rights, Civil Rights, for it was a clear objection to my struggle to overcome the ‘labels and stereotypes’ of the time, since the ‘law of the land’ was just coming out of ‘separate but equal’, and into ‘white privilege’.
Here I was striving for an avenue toward the American Dream, and beseeched, indirectly, to fight for this country, whose Caucasian citizens would not allow me, and mine, to assimilate, yet, we were expected to die for its’ (their) principles and truths. After I had completed the enlistment tests and (according to my military files) passed all sections of the tests, the recruiting sergeant (E-6) stated that he was out of the ‘necessary’ contract forms, but, by putting it on ‘notebook’ paper, it was still a valid contract! So, not being familiar with contracts, I agreed and signed that notebook paper and my DD214, as did this sergeant.
I realized later that this sergeant was doing his part to affect anyone who was not Caucasian, and my scores from the tests must have ‘fueled’ his attitude toward me, since he ‘fucked me over’ like that. But, I took it in stride that I had joined an organization whose members had ‘flaws’ about honor, integrity, morals, ethics, principles, truth and honesty. Later, it was stated, “This is how one is shafted by the Army”; all the while I am a child of poor parents, from a very poor community; a community which is ‘disenfranchised’, since many of its residents are ‘labeled and marginalized’ with a felony, or as an ex-felon from a State that released ‘their slaves two years after the ‘original’ release date, and yet, I was expected to ‘fight for my country?’. Can you imagine the ‘disillusionment’ I felt? I prayed to God, that He not allow me to die for such a bellicose and nefarious nation. Thank you, Jesus. I did not die.
I believe and feel this was the beginning of my ‘sojourn’ into the ‘realm of institutionalized racism’, especially in the ‘military-industrial complex’ of this country, for, I am a member of the unassimilated ethnic group which is then ‘ushered’ into the ‘prison-industrial complex’, but, not into universities or colleges (‘modern’ tactics of Jim Crow and Segregation via acts and/or actions of ‘strategic ambiguity’ and the $upreme Court). I stated earlier, that the recruiting sergeant ‘reneged’, ‘cheated’, and blatantly ‘misrepresented’ himself in regards to my contract, by lying about not having the regular contract forms, even though I had passed all of the enlistment test, in all categories, and he signed my DD214 form, and the notebook paper he said was a valid contract. After I arrived at Fort Polk, Louisiana for ‘basic and AIT’ another threw it in a metal garbage barrel, I raised so much drama I was taken to a ‘MP cell’, and reprimanded for disobeying a ‘direct order’, to take a seat, for, I was trying to retrieve my ‘contract’. The reprimand was placed in my file, as a ‘disciplinary action’.
Later, in my duty and obligation, according to my oath, I learned that the ‘treatment’ I went through was called ‘strategic ambiguity’, and those utilizing this ‘tactic’ were people who were intolerant, biased, and quite racist, and in the same vernacular as the KKK. Their loyalty toward such a paradigm commonly known as ‘white privilege’ was difficult to cope with, yet, I realized that this was their ‘problem’, and I did not have to let their actions and behavior emote me into a negative response or reaction; in various circumstances and situations, I strived to convince other Black military men not to be emoted to wrong/incorrect, or negative actions or behavior from the Caucasians they or we encountered 24/7. It was very difficult to maintain such a ‘mindset’ toward a positive or ‘creative’ result, and yet, knowing that the ‘South is everything southern to the Canadian border’, I stood valiant for honor, integrity, and righteousness in the presence of the various unrighteousness. I lost most of the battles, but, was not deterred from seeking justice and righteousness according to law, ethics, morals, principles and truth, in the ‘realm of justice’.
I understand, over understand, and discern that this was an ‘abrogation’ away from the ‘War on Poverty’ by way of the ‘War on Communism’, the ‘War on Drugs’, and now, the ‘War on Terror’. It is, also, a ‘covert and subtle’ form of genocide via the ‘mouse in the maze’, and yet, all in the name of ‘Democracy’, ‘National Security’, ‘Homeland Security’, and/or ‘exterminate with extreme prejudice’; send ‘them to Vietnam’, and ‘our’ problem is solved, as most of them will not come back alive! The ‘relevance’ for this has to do with Capitalism, Power and Profit and/or some form of valuable resources or commodities, like land, precious jewels, gold, silver and/or oil (Only If Legal). Within the paradigm of Jim Crow and Segregation most of the acts were acts of oppression, repression, suppression, and exploitation of the individual, person, or persons of a ‘specific’ ethnic group, like ‘colored, Negro, Black, or African American. The Bible refers to it as an ‘occupation of a people’ who take on the ‘maltreatment’ according to the mandatory compulsory ‘education’ and/or ‘indoctrination’ in the ‘institutions’ of their captors in their ‘captivity’. Many of these Jim Crow and Segregation like experiences are ‘inadvertently’ documented in my military files, yet, many or all were/are ‘construed’ as if it was my fault, a result of my actions or behavior, for instance, as in ‘disrespect for authority’; the very Caucasians who perpetuated these circumstances.
Now, why would I have respect for such ‘characters or personalities’? When I was employed and had money, I felt ‘equal’ not separate, since I knew ‘intuitively’, I was equal, not the ‘label and stereotype’ that was consistently and constantly exploited in the media, then and now in the Jewish Consolidated Media (remember World War II and/or remember the Alamo?). I went through many doors I clearly saw, or could see, read ‘colored to the rear’ or ‘white only’; in this respect, I guess I did not have any ‘respect for authority’. I, readily, became that so-called ‘uppity nigger’ by those I encountered this way. I never felt fear, afraid, or defeated by this treatment, and I continued to go in the front door. However, there were several occasions I was outnumbered and was thrown out the back door into the alley. Somehow, I intuitively knew to conquer the biggest and the strongest, according to my perception upon entering whatever establishment that was in my path while on such an ‘adventure’, and that displayed signs that stated ‘coloreds to the rear or ‘whites only’; I entered through the front door.
Wherever I was assigned after being wounded, I was set upon by the commanding officers (overseers) and/or the first sergeant and, at one duty station, the battalion commander and the battalion first sergeant. There were times that ‘certain’ Caucasians were instructed to ‘put me in my place’. I am thankful that God allowed me to be ‘victorious’ over each and everyone that came forth. I learned that for me to ‘cope’ I had to cultivate the heart, attitude, and mentality of a Warrior, “for we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but, against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places”.
Although my feelings and emotions are ‘anesthetized’, I am in an altered state of consciousness from the ‘dogs’ of this particular war, Vietnam; and its’ aftermath, as I am disillusioned, disappointed and discouraged, and if I ever have sons, they will never, ever serve this country in the Armed Forces. “As it is written, “I did not give you the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind”.
I, like others, struggle to wake up from this ‘conscious sleep’, since it is the fulfillment of the Promise, as sons and daughters, of the Word of God. It feels Righteous, as there is no ‘conflict’ that I cannot strive to over come, I am not ‘confused’, and I have to some degree and scope foresight into ‘chaos’, and I am redeemed from the ‘confoundedness’ that is present ‘here and now’. A renewed mind that readily understands, over understands, and discerns the Unrighteousness of this world. I am empowered to be obedient through faith to the Word and Will of God, and am very thankful for my gift of intuition, for the Spirit is always with me. I pray for ‘growth and maturity’ according to my grandmothers’ instructions, that ‘the South is everything southern to the Canadian border’, so that I am teachable, and am able to learn to walk in the Supernatural Power of God.
Since, the ‘War on Poverty’ causes many to take for granted the fact that ‘it takes a village’, for its opposition is ‘construed’, as, ‘they’ are inferior, yet, the opposition is always in the form of ‘white privilege’ which seems to act and behave with guile, hatred, and malice, and continues to strive to manifest things via ‘peace through war’, or ‘Strange Fruit’. Which does not feed the children, or prevent ‘genocide’, as in ‘Never Again’? Perhaps, being a statistic of ‘collateral damage’ in the ‘War on Poverty’, is like being convicted of a serious crime in which you did not commit, since, many who are in charge of conducting ‘whatever’ investigations do not do their investigation with honor, integrity, nor principle or truth. This ‘form’ of ‘abrogation’ from the truth and the ‘war on poverty’ begins with the Commander-in-Chief down, and their duty and obligation toward citizens, constituents, and consumers end up as so much ‘fodder’ for the ‘annals’ of the ‘war on terror’, as the only increase is for more power and profit, just look at the total of money spent, so for, on the ‘war on terror’.
My sojourn into this avenue of ‘misdirection’ and ‘misadventures’ was not without fear there was fear, but, it was not that ‘immobilizing’ kind of fear. Perhaps, I was the last of those who went through the ‘age of innocence’, for, the ‘wonder’ of it, as I was without guile, hatred, and malice. I called it ‘Discipline in the School of God’, as I was striving to understand, over understand and discern the wisdom of “we are in it, but, not a part of it, a part of it, but, not in it”. During my ‘basic training and advanced infantry training’, I was ‘treated’ as and called a ‘troublemaker’, with no respect for ‘authority’. I responded with the ‘original premise’ of my initial complaint, of how does the ‘status quo’ expect me to respect those (reneged on my emlistment contract) who benefit from ‘white privilege’ within the ‘realm of Jim Crow and Segregation’, and who ‘blatantly, maliciously, bellicosely and nefariously’ strive to ‘misdirect’, ‘mislead’, any and every African American from upward mobility, financial empowerment, into ‘disenfranchisement’ and not the American Dream? The recruiting sergeant deliberately withheld the ‘contract’ I had earned for volunteering for the Army, for my serial number is RA15808273, if my memory serves me correctly, so I behaved and acted with what was un-mistakenly ‘righteous indignation’ while constantly and consistently verbalizing the ‘specific’ injustice I was relegated.
All the while being told that without that piece of paper, I had no evidence that I was ‘fucked over’ by the recruiting sergeant, ‘a representative’ of the United States of America. My responses and reactions constantly resulted in me being ‘reprimanded and/or sanctioned’. The reason or code of my release from active duty is as follows: SAT. I still do not know what the definition or meaning of this code is. I would like to know. I became ever more ‘cavalier’ after finishing Basic and Advance Infantry Training. I graduated with the MOS in Indirect Fire Crewmen, first gunner; 11C10. But, it was because I had been cheated out of my ‘contract’ from the beginning. So, from the dates of January 1963 to July 1965, there were many instances of ‘racial’ conflict, and I guess I just became another ‘statistic’ in the process of this ‘paradigm’ which had brewed for many generations, and continues to ‘brew’, yet, does not excuse what the recruiting sergeant, who signed my DD214, did in cheating me out of my guarantee of enlistment, and is a breech of contract, an illegal act or action and a violation, civilly and Constitutionally.
I seek justice and compensation for this blatant, bellicose, and nefarious injustice.
