March 9, 2012 (Noam Chomsky Cover)

SOCIAL

Why Noam Chomsky is Important

Noam Chomsky is a linguist who worked for years at MIT. He also has lectured on how language is used by the elite in the United States to justify and entice us into adventures. Some of these adventures might cause us to be slightly better off than we were before we embarked on the adventure, but the elite always make great gains. We need to read anything that Chomsky has written or listen to his many lectures. Chomsky teaches us how to understand the messages that are right in front of us. Find Chomsky and learn from him.

We Need Greater Goals

We set goals for ourselves because we are told that adults are supposed to set goals. I have always thought that it would be better to just live, but I tolerate this goal oriented living because my society has embraced it. I have come to notice that most of set minor goals and expect major outcomes. Some people use the attainment of 1 million dollars as their goal. Others want to own property and have a spouse with children. Our goals should be greater than the ordinary goals that so many have. Instead of personal economic wealth, we should work to maintain the resources that sustain us. Instead of ownership and immediate family, we should create communities that support our souls. If you want to be goal oriented the least you can do is set great goals for yours and you.

Power Question #38

What are your goals for 2012?

THE ARTS

The Adjustment Bureau

The movie The Adjustment Bureau is one that you must see if you want to improve your mind. The movie gives the key to raising your conscious mind. The main character (Matt Damon) runs through a higher realm with his woman (feminine side). He runs through the library (knowledge), up the spiraling stairs (spine), and to the roof top (awareness). It there where the main character changes the direction of his life from the one made for him by higher entities to the direction that he wants. Watch all of the scenes and listen carefully. The Adjustment Bureau is full of information.

Power Question #39

What line of knowledge are you studying right now?

Porgy and Bess

The play Porgy and Bess was an excellent experience. The music was well sung and the acting was worthy of tony nominations. The two good concepts covered in Porgy and Bess. One is the concept of community. We need to move more in the direction of doing for each other with each other again. The other important concept is African male and female love. Porgy does an extraordinary amount to love Bess and she loves him. This alone would be enough for me to experience Porgy and Bess, but the play has much more for you to enjoy.

POLITICS

Keep NYCHA Public

When my family first moved to the Marcus Garvey Housing project I was terrified. The building was 15 stories high. The people were violent toward each other as well as themselves. Yes it was a hard life, but the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) gave me a stable home. Until the point that we moved into a NYCHA building we had been homeless multiple times and I was only twelve years old at the time. The apartment that we were put into had 5 bedrooms, so I obtained my own room for the first time in my life. With the stability and personal space I was able to graduate from community college while becoming a scholar. Now they want destroy NYCHA by handing it over to private corporations. Poor people are losing their housing which causes instability. The choices are simple. You can continue to privatize NYCHA and destabilize New York City or you can keep NYCHA public and give more people a chance to rise out of poverty.

Power Question #41

Are projects helpful?

SPORTS

Play Something

Sure we watched sports all of the time. We loved basketball and football. The best part about watching the games was trying to repeat the moves that we saw on television. The only health problems that we ever had were the scrapes and bruises from clapping the back boards or the tackles on tar. We now live in a different world, a world where play and watching sports has merged. Now young, and people who refuse to grow up, play sports on realistic video games with complex controlling devices. The only benefit to this kind of play is good hand eye coordination. Many people blame these video games for the increase in obesity, but there are many factors to our obesity problems. The larger concern should be the brains of the generation that grew up on video games as a form of play. As we ponder the minds of the video game generation, we should encourage everyone to play more outside of their homes.

Power Question #42

What kind of sports do you play on a regular basis?

March 2, 2012 (Harriet Washington Cover)

SOCIAL

Why Harriet Washington is Important

Harriet Washington is important to us because she exposes what was and is done to African people in the United States’ healthcare system. She wrote the book Medical Apartheid that anyone who wants to know what hospitals are really about should read. Washington speaks around this country. Get her book or watch her lectures on the internet.

Surviving the 21^st Century

In order to survive in the 21^st century we will have to have flexible minds. We have been living outside of the boundaries of nature for so long that now that nature is taking a proper place again, we are going to have to adapt to the real world again. This means that we will have to embrace some concepts that seem strange to us. We may be asked to reduce our use of electrical devices due to the rationing of energy. Rationing did happen in the late 1970’s. We may be asked not to shop for food in advance, so that the larger number of people get at least some food. Of course our society could go in a positive direction. We may become a moneyless society. Imagine that we were motivated to work by accomplishment and not pay checks. The 21^st century truly is the best and worst of times.

Power Question #30

THE ARTS

Smooth Ascension to Don Cornelius

Don Cornelius provided a platform that soul musicians could use in order to reach those of us that could not afford to attend concerts. Many of these soul raising videos can be seen all over the internet today. Soul music is important because it keeps us in tuned with our humanity. Soul music also heals our physical and spiritual wounds. Cornelius gave the world exposure to soul music and for that deserves a smooth ascension.

Power Question #31

What is your favorite Soul Train moment?

Smooth Ascension to Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston had one of the greatest voices in the history of humanity. She could stir our souls with love ballads or pick us up with dance songs. Houston had a talent and used that talent to touch others. For that she deserves a smooth ascension.

Power Question #32

POLITICS

Why Elective Politics Does Not Work

The majority of the citizens of the United States do not bother to vote. The citizens that show up to vote are often disappointed at the lack of results. Most of us go on through our lives and never think about why elective politics lets us all down. The fact of the matter is that elective politics was designed to work contrary to the way people in the U. S. thinks that it works. Most citizens believe that they are voting for people to represent us to the ruling class, but politicians really represent the ruling class to us. In the beginning the ruling class or white male land owners were the politicians. As time went on, the rulers put clerks in charge of political offices. This means that politicians are not there to listen to us, they are there to inflict the ruler’s will on us. Politicians are supposed to keep the empire in tact and here is where they are failing their rulers. Our politicians are telling the rulers that we do not have problems with housing, healthcare, and infrastructure. But the masses are mad as hell and many are not going to take it much longer.

Power Question #33

Are you dependent on elective politics?

Our Votes Do Not Count

We were told that we should vote because every vote counted. Most people did not believe it, but now it is a fact that our votes are not counted. In the 2000 presidential election 10,000 votes of African people were found in the alley behind a voting site. Now with electronic voting machines the votes will be what ever those who control the machine say that they are. The ruling class produces and maintains the voting machines, so you will vote for whom ever the rulers say that the machines recorded you to have voted for. Vote if you want to, but it may not count at all.

Power Question #34

How will you vote this election season?

What I Saw in the Super Bowl

As I watched the end of the super bowl it was not a shock to see the New England Patriot receivers drop easy passes. The NY Giants had to win because they represented metaphysics, while the Patriots represented the old order of the English royal family. Eli in the Bible means father (Jesus calls out Eli Eli…). The number 10 is a number of renewal or transformation because after 9 we return to 0 (9-10, 19-20, etc.). We are living in an age of principles or energies found in the study of metaphysics or Quantum physics. So now is the time to get your minds right.

Power Question #35

What was your favorite part of the Super Bowl?

Why I Like Jeremy Lin

New York Knick fans are all excited about their new guard Jeremy Lin. He has helped them to win games without their two super stars. Everyone is excited because some can remember the last time that the Knicks made it to the NBA play offs. I like Lin because when I saw him speak to a reporter he was able to speak in full sentences without clichés. He speaks without having to follow the athlete’s script. I hope that the Knicks go far and that Lin leads them there.

Power Question #36
Why is the NBA important to you?
