How did we get from the powerful Black Power of the Sixties and Seventies to the prey of y2k09? What forces derailed the move toward self-sufficiency and education?
A Texas preacher asks an interesting question. When did black people stop trying to gain economic and political power and allow themselves to become prey?
Rev. James Dixon, II, says a ’“Flash without Cash” mentality undermines every possibility of building stable families, strong communities, viable organizations and enduring (…)

Nobody caught this in the Western media—or the world media in general.
That is because those who have had a good grounding in general history in the mainstream media, and in the wider public, are few and far between, and because the mainstream media, and the popular conscience are conditioned by the short-term memory of the 24-hour news cycle.
I’m referring to a major, major gaffe in Obama’s Cairo speech that concerns the history of Muslims in Spain. I quote:

Every year, hundreds of thoroughbreds from the U.S. are sold to stables in Japan, where 90 percent of all horses end up in slaughterhouses. In most Japanese slaughterhouses, horses meet a frightening death. They are killed, cut apart, and end up as food for dogs and humans.
During a PETA undercover investigation inside Japan’s largest horse slaughterhouse in Kumamoto, we captured video footage of a thoroughbred’s last minutes. The horse is sprayed with water before slaughter—frightened and (…)

HOME - Mother Earth in HD - Beautiful Documentary!!!
We live in an all-crucial time. Scientists tell us that we had only 10 years to our way of life to change, to eat up natural resources and prevent a catastrophic development of the global climate behavior.
Each individual has to take this common effort to participate, and to as many people as possible to point out, I shot the film HOME.

The ICC: An instrument of imperialism
by Zafar Bangash (Friday, June 5, 2009)
"Church groups, Zionists and a number of Western governments are interfering in Sudan. Since all people in Darfur are Muslim, the anti-Muslim card cannot be used as was so effectively done in Southern Sudan. Here, an ethnic twist is utilized: the Darfurians are presented as “Africans” while the central government in Khartoum is run by “Arabs”. Why Arabs cannot be Africans is not explained but the propagandists (…)

Waste is Not a Dirty Word!
Darren Flint
A few days ago I felt inspired to visit St Paul’s Cathedral, the spiritual heart of the Church of England. Although I was christened as a child, and though I sometimes visit church to hear a good friend play the organ, I wouldn’t really identify myself as a Christian. Yet as a gay man and a pagan I appreciate the earnest inclusivity of the Church of England, and I certainly revere the quiet majesty of St Paul’s. So it is that I found myself in a (…)

Dark days for the dollar
By Sean Brodrick
JUPITER, Fla. (MarketWatch) — In May, the U.S. dollar index cracked important support. This affects all Americans, because we are all speculating in the U.S. dollar.
If you don’t think so, open your wallet. Do you see dollars there? Then you’re speculating on the dollar by holding on to it. Probably most of your investments are dollar-denominated as well. Another leg down in the dollar could translate into tough times for your portfolio — and (…)

Towards a world war of interest rates aimed at capturing global savings
Excerpt GEAB N°31
As a matter of fact, the recent step taken by the Fed proves that, though they do not admit it, they are in fact beginning to realize that they are facing a problem of general insolvency in the US (and in the related countries, such as UK (1)), affecting the federal State, federated states, companies, banks and households. For this reason, they have started (2) buying the T-Bonds issued by the US (…)
