The average American attitude regarding U.S. foreign policy is politically engineered to be less than academic and a million miles away from objectively critical. As gas prices spike, heads turn to the Middle East. President Obama has enough on his plate domestically and the instability in the Middle East has heaped a little more on his plate, adding to America's domestic mess. Unrest on foreign soil, particularly oil-rich Libya is very interesting. Who benefits if Gadhafi is ousted?
Crude oil prices are up, unemployment is up, 2012 budget squabbles further divides the Congress. The government is threatening to shut down on March 4th. States are on the verge of going broke, and the national deficit is rising as I write. The complexity of a two front war: a war in Afghanistan; and a war in Iraq doesn't simplify matters. The political unrest in the Middle East is running rampant. Such earthly geo-political complexity is just a typical day in a chess player's life, but suppose all the pieces were actual flesh and blood humans and critical global institutions?
When U.S. Soldiers were deployed to Iraq after 911, I perceived it as 'Pawn to King 4' also know as E2 to E4. 'E4' indicates a square on the chessboard. When the move is written as 'E4' it acts as a form of short-hand algebraic chess notation. E4 is probably thee most conventional opening move in all of chess. E2 to E4 is when a player moves the white king's pawn two spaces forward, occupying the center of the chess board. Personally, I call 'E4'-'Mecca', also known as the root of civilization. When I first learned how to play chess my father taught me to control the center of the board, explaining to me that "Everything runs through the center!". In football no down or play can happen until the 'center' snaps the football. In basketball having an intimidating, dominant big man(Center) going hard in the paint is key on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. In boxing and martial arts all students are taught to get in touch with their 'center' of gravity or balance. And in Geo-politics the same rules apply: 'He who controls the Center (Middle East) controls the world.'
Don't think for one minute that-that which is going on in the Middle East is because of 'face book'. If you believe that 5 revolutions in 5 different places in 5 weeks happened by coincidence-I also have the Brooklyn Bridge for sale. 'Facebook' and Social Media as a whole was nothing more than a bishop in the geo-political chessboard representations of things. After 911 the Pentagon had to monitor domestic and foreign activity to the hilt and thus Social Media was born out of the 'Patriot Act': Voila! Social Media is the next best thing since house arrest. Smartphones are GPS computerized monitors and Homeland Security always has a '20'(Location) on it's citizens. Tweet or Status a threat to the President and see how fast 9 big corn-fed whiteboyz in dark suits and sun glasses kick in your door and hall you off to an undisclosed location. Social Media is now a matter of National Security, first acting as a domestic security measure, now 'Social Media' is a powerful factor in foreign affairs that can shape and influence policy abroad.
The number one friend of the U.S. Government On 'facebook' is the CIA-CIA operatives and informants are deeply embedded in each of the societies that have recently undergone revolutionary unrest and change. One would be very naïve to think that the CIA is not there in some capacity. The average American can rest assured that their tax dollars are hard at work in the Middle East. Everything that happens in the Middle East is a matter of National Security. Oil is the life-blood of any industrialized nation and America is in the Middle East knee deep in blood.
Mainstream Media has pointed at Social Media for being responsible for the revolts. Social Media fused the metrics of the demographics to boil over and produce radical political change. Factors such as unemployment, youth unemployment and an increasing disconnect with aging leaders, were just a few factors that led to civil unrest: coupled with the advent of Social Media, things dynamically caught fire. The Internet is a powerful tool, it is probably the greatest product produced from the Wilsonian propaganda machine since television. The Internet has an unrivaled control over the collective conscious of young progressive minded populations around the world. Political Perceptions are shaped by Media and Social Media. Images are well crafted into instant data that is quickly communicated anywhere in the world. Globalization has connected the Planet.
"Abracadabra" in the blink of an eye the Information Age is now erupting like a volcano, even in places like China-China has done it's best to insulate itself against 'democratic, and capitalist' values by diligently monitoring Internet activity-but to no avail: The Chinese citizen manages to still find the blocked porn sites transmitted in from the Western World along with all other cyber ideas illustrating decadent Western values. The Chinese National Guard was on high alert to identify, prevent and thwart all political protest. Chinese Security officials were at the locations of planed protest before the protest could bust a grape. I'm sure the CIA's sentiment is, "5 outta 6 totalitarian regimes ain't bad."
Totalitarian leaders could argue that "Western capitalism and democracy is strategically evil!!!" and scream it at the top of their lungs, the contradiction of these old Middle Eastern Totalitarian Dictators is that they are just as wealthy if not wealthier and just as decadent than the Western industrial elite they label 'evil'. Now they stand accused of being 'evil' by those they once governed. The vast sums of personal 'wealth' these dictators blood sucked from their countries failed to trickle down to the average citizen.
Middle Eastern dictators are greedy and the Pentagon is simply playing excellent geo-political chess. 5 revolutions in the Middle East didn't happen because 5 random, unconnected individuals in different areas of the world woke up one morning and read the same Facebook status: "Omg! I now realize Gadhafi, Mubarack, Ali Abdullah Saleh and the bastard in Tunisia are no longer my 'BFF's; Lol. I think I'll 'HART' (Have. A. Revolt. Today.)"
I attribute a lot of what's happened in the Middle East in recent weeks to George W- not to vilify the former president, but to applaud the excellent chess play of him and Dick Cheney: Long term vision; and staying the course. They are Grand Masters of the science and art of the Filthy Affair. Bravo! Critical examination of the history and activity in the Middle East over the last 25 years is important, allowing one to see the reasons for the past, and present moves of the U.S.
What we are seeing is predicted history-a history predicted as early as 1986 when Reagan tried to kill Gadhafi. Reagan could not justify a complete deployment of U.S. troops to depose Libya's totalitarian afro rocking dictator so Reagan killed Gadhafi's daughter instead. Remember, George W is a recycled Reaganite; George Bush The First was Reagan's VP; and George The First was also at one time the former CIA director. It's reasonable to conclude George Bush the First new how to play geo-political chess on every level. The First George Bush also made the idea of The 'New World Order' palpable to the American public and just what was the New World Order? Remember the trilateral commission? It was the collective alliance of Western Democratic Nations all standing unilaterally united on Economic, Military and Political fronts: moving in one international democratic accord. They stand against anything that opposes the spread of democracy: be that Radical Islam, socialism or communism.
Reagan is considered one of the greatest U.S. Presidents because he dismantled the Soviet Union, which made him to some, a genius political strategist. The First George Bush didn't take down Saddam, the Second George Bush did. Saddam was on good terms with the U.S. until he attempted to take control of Kuwaiti oil fields in 1991. He had long since gassed the Kurds but the U.S. didn't make a fuss then. He was eventually hung for war crimes but his real crime was striving to control land that the U.S. didn't give him permission to control. He stepped outta line. U.S. Policy has deep Philly rootz. The second George Bush was a lot like Philly Rapper Beanie Segel 'Get Down or Lay down Caesar!'- Saddam has been laid down.
While the U.S. is over in Iraq they might as well put in some new leaders. The CIA changes the leaders of foreign governments like maintenance workers change light bulbs. The West has basically forced old Middle Eastern Dictators to take an early retirement in order to screw in some new puppet blood.
Why Libya? Libya produces 1 million drums of oil a day. BP was drilling in Libya like a white man in a Filipino whorehouse and Gadhafi was taxing 'em.
Oil: the 'Cipher I Love' is at the root of the upheaval in The Middle East.
Why Egypt? To help Israel sleep better at night.
Why Yemen? To dilute and control radical Islam.
Why Algeria? A need to return back to Good Old Fashion 'French Values'
He who controls the center of the chessboard, wins!
Peace

(REPOST) Curb Your Education: The City Of Invention (Blog written by the Earth)
“It’s overwhelming. I’m exhausted.
I did this for them, so there it is. I did this for them.”
~Kelley Williams-Bolar
Akron, Ohio’s fifth largest city, “The City of Invention”, home of LeBron James and the city where Kelley Williams-Bolar and her two daughters reside. Are you familiar with Ms. Williams-Bolar’s story? To summarize, Kelley is a 40 year-old Mother of two girls, ages 16 and 12. They lived in the housing projects of Akron, and due to the unsafe conditions in the girls’ school, naturally like any concerned Mother would do; she decided to search for a better school – one that would offer the type of education every child deserves. As is normally the case, she found herself seeking schools outside of her impoverished neighborhood and used her Father’s address in the Copley-Fairlawn school district to send the girls. She did this for two years. Well, unfortunately the school district discovered that ‘something’ wasn’t right and conducted (now get this) a $6,000 private investigative search to prove the girls didn’t belong in the school. Because of the fact that Kelley submitted documents stating that they lived there when in fact they did not, the school found a way to ‘press charges’ so to speak and have her arrested and charged with a felony of falsifying records. $6,000! Do you know what I could do with $6,000?! I could purchase two used cars. I could buy 30 designer boots. That’s about 6-7 months worth of food for a vegetarian family. The school sold her out! She “invented” a way to give her daughter’s what she felt was the world in the palm of their hands and the school “invented” a way to make her an example of what not to do. I don’t condone lying, so I won’t sit here and tell you it was an honest move, but listen to the type of punishment she received. One, she was arrested. That is punishment in itself. Confinement – quality time away from her children. Two, they slapped her with a felony (which carries two 5 year prison sentences). They reduced the time to 10 days, 80 hours of community service and three years probation. Rough, right? Well, it didn’t stop there. Kelley was studying how to assist special needs children while pursuing a degree, but with the felony clinging to her name, she instantly became disqualified to earn said degree under the Ohio law.
I did a background check on the Judge who sentenced the Mother. Her name is Judge Cosgrove. Cosgrove lived in Akron since 1974, so it’s safe to say she knows Akron like the back of her hand. She knows what each neighborhood has to offer. She also was one of the 3 Judges to participate in the ReEntry Court Program for convicted felons. When I first read that, I thought to myself, “ReEntry?” “ReEntry into what?” Clearly she has been studying Law long enough to know what happens to convicted felons after they attempt to “reenter” society. She knew that sentencing Kelley with a felony would ruin her life. You can’t tell me that she didn’t. Judge Cosgrove (from what I read) is known for her community involvement in the Victim Assistance Program. Well, the truth is this Mother is a victim. Where was her assistance? I'm sure she couldn't afford the types of attorneys that would work on her case day in and day out. As a Mother, I can very easily relate to her pain. Her quote above said she was overwhelmed and exhausted and trust me, it is exhausting seeing your child(ren) suffer in a place that is supposed to offer safety but is the epitome of hell. I can’t walk in her shoes completely but I can relate to living in the projects with younger babies doing anything in my power to escape the scenery. This isn’t a Mother who became impregnated at an early age – she was 24 when she had her first daughter and 28 when she had the second. All she sought was a chance – justice – hopes that her children could be a part of a culture that would mold them – prepare them for life’s challenges but instead they gave her and the girls the middle finger. Copley-Fairlawn made it clear that they only develop the minds of the children that could afford to be there – the ones who live nearby who were financially ‘comfortable’.
When it comes to our children, parents get in the Boxing Ring of Life. We take blows, wipe the blood, treat lacerations and turn the other cheek. This story hit me hard because I’ve always had to stay in my son and daughter’s school. I can relate to the mom’s who hate to drive off and leave their children. I can relate to the dad’s who get on the school bus to confront bullies. I can relate to the parents who would do ANYTHING to sleep at night instead of crying, fighting for solutions while making sure your children get 8 hours of rest. The school systems are jungles. The fights for justice are roped and bound in struggles. I’m disgusted that the justice system blew this whole situation out of proportion. Yes, records weren’t right and exact, but to remove the Mother’s right to obtain a degree?? Basically they said, we aren’t teaching your ‘outsider children’ and you can’t teach anyone’s child either. That’s like having one of your dogs urinate on your brand new fur carpet and instead of you putting the dog in its cage and denying it its daily treat, you decide to make an example to your other dogs by breaking the dog’s leg, beating it for 20 minutes, yelling at it, and maybe even throwing hot water on it. Its exaggerating the discipline to the extent of abuse because you have the power to do so.
I sit sometimes at night and I think about the scenario, remembering how many parents I knew in the past years that lied about their addresses. Several articles claim the story presents a RACIAL issue. Some state it presents a STATUS issue. I say it speaks to both racial concerns and status. Obviously it is a status issue because families who have money can afford to send their children to any school they select. Any school. It is a racial issue because it is often black families who get caught up in the media and used as examples like they are monsters or some type of circus freaks – then all the viewers spew ignorance about the person as if they knew the accused personally. Then there are racial issues mixed with status issues. My parents sent me to a private high school. For all four years, they spent approximately $44,000 11 years ago. Sure, my last name is Kennedy, but I’m no relation to THE Kennedys. My parents weren’t ‘wealthy’, there were no silver spoons. They were middle class and my Father worked extremely hard to provide for his family. With all that said, even though I was able to attend, I never felt ‘a part’ of the whole community. There were a few Black students, I think about 10 (if that). There is never utopia, but parents do the BEST they can for their children, because despite what can be done – not everyone is able to teach their child at home full-time.
Children learn in degrees. Various levels are in place for the purpose of feeding facts slowly and appropriately. Sculpting takes place – a child invents life as they see it in their minds. It is our duty to provide as much positive mental support as possible so they are molded with love. How can a child be molded with love when they are taught that they are ugly, or poor, or stupid?
My heart bleeds for this family.
Stop at nothing to stand up for your child(ren). They need you to protect them and fight for their rights.

African Tribal Shit: Less Than A Dime For A Tutsi Dozen
When I think of The American Slave Trade I think of the greatest crime against a people in the history of the world, ending the lives of an estimated 100 million Black People, literally cutting off the ancestral rootz of an entire people. Though not in the official definition of 'genocide' - enslavement is very much a characteristic of genocidal behavior because it subjugates the innate will, restricting freedom. Freedom has an integral relationship to life and living. Subjugation on a grand scale takes away life and is in that light murderous on an individual level and 'genocidal' on a group level.
Officially 'Genocide' is the systematic extermination of a people by another people with pre-determined deliberation of will': a 'cleansing' of a general group of people for whatever reason. The American White Man spared his slave: he needed some company; someone to bounce an idea or two off of; someone to mentally abuse from time to time; someone he could lynch at his leisure; someone to scream at; someone to laugh at; someone to do the grunt work that nation building requires; someone who's wife and children would belong to him. The slave Master wanted more 'slaves' not bloated, rotting corpses - it would have economically been disastrous for the White Man to directly commit genocide on black people during the American slave trade, instead the white man reduced the quality of life-which is for all practical purposes a slow indirect genocide none the less. Direct genocide would have crippled the colonial economy in early America.
What is a slave? A forced flunky, politically naked, economically dependent and psychologically divided by Willie Lynch protocols. Willie Lynch protocols established in 1712. His protocols caused Original People in the Wilderness of North America to believe that they were all different. The ideal of Willie Lynch policy at its fundamental root creates the smoke and mirrors of the illusion of 'difference'. The Belgian colonization of Rwanda in the 1800's instigated, promoted and sponsored Hutu and Tutsi differences. It was the illusion of these differences that eventually caused rats to grow to the size of small puppies as the result of the rats feeding on dead Tutsi flesh in the Spring of '94.
First, I examined the obvious crime against humanity, traced its origin to Belgian colonization and after thorough examination of the historical pathology of European colonization I realized that European colonization alone was not enough to justify what happened in Rwanda. Though Leopold II was brutal in his conquest of the Congo in 1865 I still felt compelled to look at all Human Beings and wonder if there is an 'evil gene'? Not just the grafting of the black germ into the recessive white, but there must be a portion of genetic information stored in the original genetic profile of the 'black germ' to justify such human on human attrocity. In the Quran, Allah commands Iblis to bow to Adam, The Shaitan refuses after studying the Body of Adam. What the Shaitan saw caused him to be indignant to the notion of bowing down to what he perceived to be an inferior creature. Why should Iblis have to bow down to such an inferior creature-a creature made of mud while Iblis was 'different': as Iblis was made of smokeless fire? Maybe the Shaitan saw Adam's genetic inclination toward evil-an inclination that all people would genetically inherit? Iblis then becomes the Shaitan or Satan as the result of his refusal to obey Allah's command (Quranic Cee). Though its a religious version of events, the Quranic story contains deep psychological insights into humility and the origin of evil.
There are plenty of Original people who believe that they are 'all different' because of religious, ethnic, geo-political, personal, tribal or other superficial and mundane differences. I postulate that murderous inclinations are natural in the human being, and genetically hard-wired in the original black germ of life. The Human Being's struggle for survival owes its murderous nature a debt: at some point during human development, killing became a necessary part of human survival. The human being genetically balances the need for survival with the proclivity to kill-causing social implosion or mass murder, such as war, genocide and slavery. Genocide occurs with a relative degree of frequency in human populations. Raising it's head a few times during a century, whether it's 'Africans', Indians, Jews, Cambodians, or Vietnamese-mass murder is usually going on somewhere on the planet at any given time. Genocide usually manifests itself in the fine mist of petty differences, political motive, xenophobia or the need to subjugate and conquer.
Murderous behavior may take a few generations to manifest itself, lurking beneath the surface until the idea of 'difference' becomes tangible and more pronounced: murder will surface. The notion of 'difference' forms gaps in cultural and ethnic identity, '...and was no more the same...' a phrase in the understanding cipher degree is highly relevant . As the idea of 'same' disappears, violence against a people for the sole reason of 'difference' eventually comes to pass. Differences grow wider as each generation enforces the illusion of 'difference' via tradition, culture and ways of being. Slowly these groups become more and more unalike on face value. Social reinforcement of ethnic, racial, ideological, and religious differences causes amicable civil exchange, dialogue and communication to breaks down, especially when one group claims to be superior over another.
According to our Mathology-The wisdom build degree emphasizes the mundane phenotypical differences of 'black' and 'brown' as the central theme in early Pelonic Yacobian policy: "Kill all the black babies, and save the brown babies". Mathologically speaking, Yacobian policy caused a 600 year genocide on Pelon. Hutu Policy was somewhat of a reversal of Yacobian policy: "Kill all the brown babies(Tutsi) and save the black babies(Hutus)." The Tutsis are generally considered fare in complexion, and to have slightly 'better hair'('Good Hair'?), or a thinner nose than that of the Hutus. The mathological reversal on behalf of the Hutus of the Yacobian edict was equally genocidal. The Hutus and Tutsis thought themselves to be 'no more the same'.
The Tutsis were favored in the eyes of the European Belgian early in Rwandan colonization, and told that they were somehow inherently better than the Hutus, when in fact, no true distinguishing random physical characteristic existed across the board. Plenty of dark-skinned Tutsis having full lips and thick hair reside in Rwanda. Many Hutus and Tutsis were married. Rwandan National Politics was guilty of the ongoing manufacturing of the superficial notion of differences between this group of original people, and consequently a truly horrific display of African tribal evil played out on the international stage. An orgy of slaughter and a frenzy of wholesale murder on a grand scale occurred during the spring of 94 in Rwanda.
During the Rwandan Genocide I was oblivious, lost in my own self importance, absorbed into my own marijuana fog, finding myself paying more attention to Tupac's 'Me against the World' album than Rwanda. More concerned with the new Nas album; or that new Wu-joint; and reading the book 'Pimp' by Iceberg Slim. I didn't give a fuck about the Human attrocity going on-on the otherside of the Planet Earth b.u.t. at the same time I new the Planet's circumference. In the Spring of '94 my own personal vanity had me focusing more on maintaining a fresh Caesar fade and pursuing CREAM than participating in an intelligent dialogue regarding genocide in Rwanda. The iconic bird was chirping in a cartoon caption above my head.
"...to Teach knowledge and wisdom to all the human family of the Planet Earth..." was my dirty religion in '94, running a bag of hustles out of 120 and lusting after ill gotten gains. At the time I could have given less than a fuck about what was going on in what the devil calls Africa. I had 'knowledge of Self' at the time but still was pretty much geo-politically ignorant. I could recite 120 in 16 minutes-Big fucking deal! Tutsi babies were being slaughtered while I did a Raekwon and Ghost 'Only Built For Cuban Links' imitation. Knowledge of Self is suppose to shed light on the Self and the reality of what's happening in the World. 120 is not for egotistical self indulgence. And so, even with 120 I was still very much ignorant to the ways of the world, blinded by my enormous Asiatic ego and my shallow declaration of self deluded personal omnipotentence: 'Arma Legga Legga Arma Heada' which was more accurately a case of an arrogant 'Asshola'. 120 is suppose to be a tool that provides the analytical apparatus necessary to examine not only the SELF b.u.t. every square inch of the Planet Earth, instead I was critically analyzing the book 'Pimp', my enlightener convinced me that it was a 'must read'. Years later I see the error of trivial wayz, still very much petty as I weigh the differences between the Blackberry and Droid smartphones-yet and still, I strive to expand from the fetters of small minded politics. Small minded politics are characteristic of Wilsonian idealism which is a policy in public relations that stings every American nowaday. Ohhh-how politically alienated and naive I was and still am. At least now, in my defense, I study the world as if it belongs to me: because it does!
Political alienation is a purely Wilsonian ideal. Wilsonian Idealism is at the root of Western propaganda, existing at the very core of the United Nation's actions or what could better be described as 'inaction' in Rwanda. As I read the book 'Pimp' and listened to Wu-Tang back then, Koffi Annan suffered from a similar alienating disconnect as it pertained to his fellow human beings in Rwanda; President Bill Clinton was pre-occupied with Monica's throat, and consequently the value of Rwandan lives were catastrophically devalued to less than a dime for a Tutsi dozen.
In three months Rwandans slaughtered 800,000 of their fellow Rwandans, it was a level of genocide never before seen in such a short span of time. The Nazis at Nuremberg were found guilty of slaughtering an estimated 6 millions Jews which is a tragedy indeed. The nearly one million Rwandan lives lost in the short span of three months occurred at lightening speed compared to the six year long Jewish Holocaust. Death is death and as militaries around the world become more efficient killing machines I'm sure even more staggering statistics will one day add themselves to the horrific list of genocidal actual facts. 'Genocide: Coming To A Neighborhood Near You!'
Part Two:
Imagine if Bloods slaughtered Crips on a grand scale: no visible phenotypical, or physiological differences exist between Bloods and Crips only the 'colored' illusion of difference. It's that type of difference that became a Hutus' war cry resonating in the pit of a Tutsis' stomach.
What caused the Hutus to willfully attempt to carry out the extermination of the Tutsis? Such a question invites a fascinating look into group psychology, and the murderous tendencies that lurk below the surface in human beings. Upon stumbling upon this innate evil found in the human being we may better know why the Shaitan did not bow down to Adam in the Holy Quran.
It is said in Asiatic Mathology that "Yacob was the Father of the Devil and taught the devil to do this devilishment." Before the mathological origins of the 'Colored Man', devilishment is implicated as an inherent nature in the Original man. White people come from black people thus devilishment is present in Original people: BIGTIME!!! All people are capable of devilishment, regardless of color, ethnicity, religion, tribal or organizational affiliation. Without pointing the finger at former President Bill Clinton or the United Nations- I think the finger should be pointed at 'Self', specifically at the 'collective unconscious' that C.G. Jung mentions in his writings. An examination of the connectivity of all human beings is warranted after all crimes against humanity. As human beings we must psychologically ask ourselves why human-on-human attrocity occurs on the landscape of human populations? What are the antecedent behaviors? How can we predict and avoid such inhuman behavior in the future? Nowaday we mostly play to our self-righteous cyber inclinations, failing to acknowledge our evil within, while full well knowing that such evil exists within all of us and quick to parade to others how righteous we are: Bullshit! True righteousness may be in understanding just how fuckin evil you are and taking it under 'heal' in the very near future. Awareness of such innate evil would work toward evil's eradication from the nature of the human being(taking the devil off your personal planet for real).
After nearly a million deaths no one stopped to ask "Why am I killing all these Tutsis?" Belgian colonialization cannot be held fully responsible, because again: 'Yacob was the Father of the Devil and taught the devil to do this devilishment'. This implies that Every human being on Earth should be found guilty of crimes against humanity for what happened in Rwanda-including myself. My ignorance in regard to what happened in Rwanda in 1994 is no excuse. How do I plead?
Guilty,
Emblem
