Eschatology

I guess Hitler's superstitions lead him to believe that in conquering Finland - He would be "Finnished".

But at other times, the thought of Neuropa was just too appealing.

The Project for a New American Century sought to re-draw the Middle East in this way.

A purported Illuminati map shows a different world.

And the world under the Ten Kingdoms of the Anti-Christ seems the most plausible.

Supposed Illuminatical works (Written by Ku Klux Klan founder, Illuminati member and Freemason - Albert Pike.) even give directions on how to accomplish such a New World Order.

"...The first World War should enable the Illuminati to seize power from the tsars and transform this country with strength of communist atheism.

The differences between the British and German empires, and also the struggles between the Germanic and Slavic nations, instigated by the Illuminati, should be used to incite this war.

Once finished, communism should be nurtured and used to destroy other governments and make religions weak..."

"...The Second World War should be incited by political discrepancies between fascists and Zionists.

The fight should begin to destroy Nazism and give way to political Zionism to facilitate the establishment of the sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.

During the Second World War a Communist League strong enough to equal the whole of Christianity should be constructed. From then on it should be kept and supported until needed the day social cataclysm arrives..."

"...The Third World War should be incited taking advantage of the seed planted by the Illuminati agents to provoke differences between political Zionism and the leaders of the Muslim world. The war should be channelled in a way that Islam and Zionism destroy each other and that other nations will involve themselves too to the extent that they become physically, mentally, spiritually and economically exhausted..."

Sure... all this sounds conspiratorial - but most groups seeking to better Man in a way that differed from the establishment started out this way.

Didn't Christians once have to meet in secret?

But didn't Christ himself warn against secret groups and organizations?

A Woman ?

Renee' Richards - Born A Man

Polish athlete Ewa Klobukowski - Born with ambiguous genitalia.

In the 1938 Olympic games, Dora Ratien was deemed to be A Man.

Because of her all around athletic ability and her dominance in track & field, many thought Babe Didrikson was also a man.

Now it's Caster Semenya's turn.

Admittedly - I often questioned the gender of some Eastern Block athletes -

But since the International Olympic Committee has already ruled on the eligibility of athletes of questionable gender;

is it really a moot point?

Pinche Mayate

Yep...
Someone just called you a "June bug". (Well... really - they just called you nigga' but with an "er".)

But if you live up North with a bunch of Italians - The conversation may sound more like Christopher Walken's soliloquy in True Romance.

What I Would Buy

I love the PS3 - the system plays even the poorest quality burned CDs/DVDs.
But I hate watching kids scratch my games, CDs and discs.

Maybe someone could invent a PS3 disc changer that holds one hundred discs.

Start Small

If you think that the government can properly run a health care system,
let's see how they're doing so far.
Has anyone been to a General or Community Hospital?
The waits will kill you.

How are they doing with our military men's care?
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/04/AR2007030401394.html
Maybe there doing better with the Native American hospitals...

Or, maybe not.

Sure, health care reform is needed - but not by the government.
Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies need to be turned into service driven industries instead of profit driven industries.
Maybe we could create a network of Credit Union type medical hospital companies to facilitate the needed changes.
I don't know about you, but the government hasn't proven it's ability to run health care in the past (or present).

Gay, Black, and on TV

DJ (from Derek's Window) asked; "Who speaks for gay Black males?"
I have no idea, but it would seem that there are a lot of them on TV lately.
From the dude on College Hill,

To the dude with the painted on highbrows on The Real Hoodrats of the ATL,

To the guy who was about to get whooped by Pookie an' dem on the same show,

To the guy trying out as a backup singer on P-Did's Making His Band,

To the guys on America's Best Dance Crew.

I honestly have no idea who speaks for gay Black males - but recently, there seems to be a lot of them on television.

Gold Beef And A Men's Suit

An old measure of our dollar is to compare the prices of three commonly purchased items;
Gold, Beef and a Men's Suit.

Gold is trading @ $948.00 an ounce.

With the draught conditions increasing in Texas - the Abilene Auction is selling cattle @ $841.00 a head.

And a basic Armani suit can be ordered online for $899.00

It appears that the cattle is at the low end of the three items at about $850.00.

But if worse came to worse - which would you like to own?

It's not that prices have gotten out of hand - the problem is inflation and the lack of buying power for the US Dollar.

See what your money would be worth today;

http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl

With the stock market closing at two thirds of it's all time high (9321 (today) - 14164 (mid to late 2007)) and home prices down 22.3% from their all-time high in 2006 - Isn't it the right time to invest in necessary goods.

It's said that you can't take your money with you,

but I guess you could be buried in your new suit.

Why Do White People Love "The Real Hoodrats of the ATL" ?

What?
You can't sensibly mock or ridicule Barack Obama being the POTUS,
or Tiger Woods owning the golf course,
or Michael Vick's rehab,
or Sotomayor being confirmed as a Supreme Court Judge,
or another POC getting a positive reaction from the media?

Let's make it easy for you.
I now present;
The Real Hoodrats of the ATL.

"We"?

I still see these shirts on the block, but do those wearing them even understand the sentiment?
Simple, three words.
Yes.
WE.
Can.
What part of "We" went missing?
Doesn't it imply (Well... really, state) some sort of participation besides wearing a t-shirt?
What actions are those wearing such shirts taking for themselves?
Or was the race won on election day?
